A Slow Seduction
Over the next few weeks the line between our private and public lives blurred significantly. Neroon touched me as much as possible, whether it was just a guiding hand on my back, an arm around my waist, or having me sitting in his lap. Since the first time, I was comfortable being close to him, but all of the little touches were succeeding in driving me slowly insane.
We hadn't done much more than kiss and a little heavy petting, but nothing else had happened when we were alone. Every time I thought Neroon would push me a bit he suddenly backed off. At this point I was ready to jump him, but two things were holding me back, well three really.
The first was that if I did make a move I wouldn't know what to do with him. I was content to follow his lead, at least until I got a bit of confidence, but he didn't seem inclined to take things any further at the moment. The second reason was that if I did decide to start something I wasn't sure exactly how far I was ready to go. It didn't help that I had never done more than make out with the few women that I've been with. Neroon was completely out of my realm of experience, which made me uneasy, but also exhilarated. Third, and lastly, I didn't want to lead Neroon into thinking that I was agreeing to be his mate. Don't get me wrong, I was positive that I loved him, but I didn't know if a relationship between us was even realistic.
In between the touching and general tension that filled the air whenever we were alone, we found time to talk and bond with our men. Over time we grew strong friendships with Peedran and Keith especially. Neither Neroon nor myself were especially surprised when we found out that they were lovers. In fact, I suspected that their relationship had been heading in that direction for a few weeks now.
Neroon and I would often take walks with them at daybreak and sit under the stars. Since we had nothing else to keep us occupied during the evening this quickly became my favorite time of the day. I was lying beside Neroon on a small quilt underneath the night sky, listening to tales of his childhood. It was during this peaceful time that I told Neroon about Arisa and Willie. We each had a good cry at one time or another during these evening without feeling embarrassed at showing our weaknesses to each other.
After that, we could talk about most anything easily. For the past month we have been cut off from Minbari politics, so I have been free to act how I wanted without worrying about any adverse consequences. Once we got back I had to report to Delenn, and I couldn't just hope that the tension between our two groups would disappear due to this training exercise.
If we were to get together we would probably be at a great risk of attack and/or reprisals. We only had two more weeks on this planet before we would have to get back to 'real life.' Although I knew over a week ago that I did love Neroon, I have been trying to figure out if he'd be in more trouble with his caste if he were to marry me.
I was going over everything in my mind once again tonight while I was lying in bed with Neroon. He was sleeping peacefully with my head pillowed on his chest. With an exasperated sigh I decided to think more on this tomorrow morning and bedded down to sleep.
I awoke the next morning to Neroon nuzzling my ear, which degraded into licking and sucking causing me to moan at the sensation.
"If you have so much time for thinking at night, I am obviously doing something wrong." Neroon murmured softly causing me to shiver as his breath blew over my wet earlobe. "Good morning, love."
"'morning." I answered distractedly as he began placing soft kisses and nipping down the column of my throat. When lowered himself on top of me I welcomed him, pulling Neroon closer to me so that our bodies were touching. He had his fingers wrapped in my hair as he lifted my head to meet his demanding kiss.
"We should get breakfast." Neroon said after he released my head while laying comfortably cushioned between my legs.
"Hmm?" I asked softly, doing my best to ignore the suggesting position we were in, so I could listen to Neroon speak.
"Breakfast?" He asked once again, getting up slowly, torturing me evilly as his lower body rubbed enticingly against mine.
"Yeah, breakfast, good idea." I grumbled, thoroughly frustrated while pulling a shirt on as Neroon stepped into the bathroom, not bothering to close the door behind him.
