Author's Note: Okay, here's a little update for all of you.....or at least
for Renee, since nobody else seems to be reading my story.....well, here it
goes. RENEE, I hope YOU like it.
As the night progressed, the energy of the party had died down considerably. By 11 o'clock people had stopped dancing and were all sitting around tables, talking rapidly, but Laina could see dark circles forming under some of their eyes.
She had, yet again, allowed her mind to wander from the dull conversation of the boys, and Mush was only half listening to them. Over the course of the evening, they had left the world of the party, and had slipped into their own.
She had slumped down from her straight-backed perch on Mush's lap, and had wrapped her arms around his neck again. Since his chair had arms on it, she could lean back slightly into his strong arm that was around her waist. Her other arm was down on her thigh, and was clutching Mush's hand there. Their heads resting together, eyes closed. He was lightly stroking the side of her stomach and she was tracing a pattern of circles and 'Xs' on his upper back and shoulder. His thumb was gently massaging her hand, and she sighed in contentment.
He pulled his face from her's, and she inwardly whimpered as the heat of his face left. He released her hand as well, which was returned to him by her glancing briefly down at it, then to his eyes. He gave her a soft smile, then, with the back of the hand that had been holding her's, he grazed her cheek lightly, then moved to the nape of her neck, pulling her in for a deep kiss.
She reached up and ran her hand the length of his arm, feeling the muscles below his shirt sleeve. He lightly rubbed the base of her neck with his thumb, and she tilted her head slightly, deepening the kiss.
As the two of them became even more lost in their own little world (not to mention, getting a little hot-and-heavy in the chair), a mixture of whistles and laughs came from the boys around the table. Laina and Mush broke apart and began to laugh as well.
He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly for a moment, and then they all decided to go and help Medda's attendants clean up.
----------------------------------------
After about two hours of sweeping floors, cleaning tables, placing chairs in a corner, and watching a "mop-and-soap" between Blink and Race, they were done. Just as Laina was bending down to put a mop and bucket away in a closet, Mush ran up behind her and picked her up around the waist. She issued a small scream of surprise as he began spinning her around in circles. When he put her down, she turned to face him. The sent of the cleaning products mixed pleasantly with his naturally sweet aroma.
He smiled down at her and, taking both of her hands in his at their sides, he said loudly to the others, keeping his eyes fixed on her's, "See you boys later tonight," and began leading her out of the room. "Uh....bye, I guess?" Race said. "Nice meetin' ya guys," Laina said over her shoulder. "See ya later," Spot said to her and Mush. "Yeah," Mush said quickly.
As soon as they were out of the huge auditorium, they found themselves in a smaller hallway. Mush seemed to know where he was going, so Laina just held on for the ride. He led her through curtains and doors until they reached a standstill. They were in the middle of a large circular enclosure of curtains, and the moonlight shone through several windows, casting elegant shadows all around them.
Mush moved slowly toward her, still grasping her hand. He had a serious look about him which accented his features in the moonlight to a point that made Laina feel weak at the knees.
When he reached her, he took her waist up in his arms. She slowly ran her hands up his arms, and finally his neck, and she let them linger there. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but Laina placed a finger over his mouth, and shook her head slightly, a seductive smile curling across her lips. "I had fun tonight," she said, returning her hand to his neck. "No reason to stop there," he said deeply, bringing her even closer. She smiled softly and pulled his face down, indulging him in a deep, affectionate kiss.
It was quite a romantic scene. The moonlight, shining through the white, elegant curtains, the gentle shadows surrounding, and them, in an enclosure of sheer slivery curtains. She snaked her hands from his neck to his color bone, to his well defined chest, back up to his biceps and shoulders, all movements slow and enticing.
As she did this, he ran his finger tips up and down the length of her spine, sending chills throughout her body, which she returned by deepening the kiss even further. He pulled her closer yet to him, loving the way her body felt against his. It was though they were ment for one another, and their two bodies had been a beautiful figurine that had been broken in two, the pieces lost to the four winds. Now that they'd found each other, he was never letting her go.
She pulled away, much to the displeasure of Mush, and giggled as she began to walk towards one of the windows. There was unnecessary distance between them...'Why' Mush thought desperately to himself. He advanced on her, and she ducked behind a curtain, poking her head out of the other side, laughing harder. This continued for a few more minutes, but was ended when she backed herself into a corner, a sheer curtain from the nearby window blowing gently in the breeze.
Her shoulders against the wall, with her lower back away from it. Mush walked up to her slowly, gazing hard into her eyes. He placed his hands on her hips, pulling her away from the wall and back into him. Which was pretty pointless, since he moved her back against the wall. But this time, he was pressed against her, still loving how their bodies fit together.
Without saying another word, he brushed her hair behind her ear, and, keeping his hand lost in her soft hair, brought her in for another gentle kiss. He pressed harder against her, and she loosely placed her hands around his magnificent waist.
He lifted her by the waist, and she moved her hands from his waist to his shoulders, wrapping her legs around him. After a little while of this, he slowly slid her down. They broke apart, and in the short amount of time in which they gaze into each other's eyes, Laina lightly rubbed the side of his neck, and he kissed her swiftly.
"Hey, I gotta go talk to Jack and Spot for a sec. Will ya wait for me outside?"
"Sure, just, how do I get outta here?"
He led her back even further in the hall, and out one of the doors.
"Okay, I'll be back in a minute so," and he again kissed her swiftly, "don't go anywhere."
She smiled up at him, and leaned against the wall. "'Kay," she half whispered to his retreating back.
