Chapter 7
When it came time for the party to end everyone made their way to there respective towers to retire for the night. Milla and Tal were the last to leave. They left together walking slowly and talking about the times they had spent together and what was happening in each of their world.
"The clans have found new selski to follow and all is well." informed Milla.
"That's good news. A lot has been happening here too." said Tal and then he launched into a report about the castle status.
The conversation led deep into the night with Tal and Milla discussing solutions to problems and reminiscing. While they walked and talked they encounter Gref and Kusi, Tal's younger brother and sister. As they passed they giggled to each other and started to tease Tal.
"Hey Tal, nice night for a walk with a pretty girl." giggled Gref.
"Yeah you two look like husband and wife, just like everyone says." snorted Kusi.
Tal and Milla blushed for the second time that night.
"You are so unromantic Tal you may be king but you're so stiff when it comes to women, I mean the atmosphere was great tonight it's a wonder you two haven't kissed yet." Gref said in all sincerity.
"Shut it Gref!" said Tal through gritted teeth.
"Kusi, what do you mean when you say everyone?" asked Milla demandingly.
Kusi was never good at lying so she just told the truth and her reply was met by an awkward silence save Gref's immature giggles. Tal, who couldn't stand the taunts from Gref and Kusi, decided to explain the situation.
"Look Gref I was only walking Milla to her room and my love life is none of your business but for your information I happen to like Milla as a friend who."
"Will someday be your wife?" interrupted Gref and Kusi strangely serious.
"What!?!" exclaimed Tal and Milla.
Gref and Kusi were taken aback by their sudden outburst. Then Kusi recovered and spoke to Gref.
"Mother and father must be wrong. They don't seem to be in love at all." said Kusi.
"No." mused Gref, ".they just don't know that they love each other yet." explained Gref.
"Oh well then we should leave them alone then, Gref," said Kusi.
"No this is more fun." Gref said suppressing a giggle.
With that Gref and Kusi took off at a run and disappeared around a corner. Tal and Milla were in a state of embarrassment. Both were flushed as red as a belish root. Milla and Tal continued on in silence that was deafening until Tal broke it.
"Milla, why aren't you in your furs tonight? I have never seen you without your furs or a weapon."
"Your mother said that it would please you to see me in this garb and she was very persuasive about it. As to a weapon I have my talons." answered Milla.
Tal and Milla were feeling very relieved as they arrived at Milla's quarter's but a strange overwhelming desire inside of them kept them from parting. They both knew what to do to quell the desire but neither one was prepared to make the first move. Then Milla spoke.
"Goodnight Tal." she said quietly and turned to open the door. Before she could go in Tal grabbed her wrist. Reflexively Milla twisted her wrist and grabbed Tal's then spoke.
"If you want it you have to earn it."
Tal was confused but had no time to ponder what Milla had said before he ducked a punch. Clearly Milla wanted to fight and this obvious fact made Tal even more puzzled. One moment Tal was ready for his first kiss and the next moment he was dodging punches and kicks.
"What are you doing Tal attack back, don't you want to settle one last score?" Milla raged.
Tal couldn't believe what he was hearing. Milla wanted Tal to fight to settle a score? He had thought that they were past this. There was a small pause where Tal had time to consider what had been said. When Milla advanced Tal fought back surprising Milla with his skill and gentle ferocity. They both fought in the corridors of the violet tower. Parrying blows and countering.
Neither one looked ready to give up. They fought on and on and after what seemed like an eternity; Tal managed to get Milla in a lock from behind that seemed inescapable.
"I'm...still...waiting...for you...to...hit me," whispered Tal in a mocking tone that seemed to drip with admiration or was it affection? Milla smiled and stamped on Tal's foot and while he recoiled in pain Milla elbowed him and he fell onto the floor.
"Like that?" mocked Milla still in her fighting mood that seemed to wane and start to give way to affection for Tal as the night went on.
As Tal lay on his back on the cool marble floor he smiled and flipped back up with a speed that surprised both fighters.
"You're good," commented Tal while cracking his neck and knuckles. "But not great,"
Then they started to fight again. They fought for hours. Only pausing to whisper kind taunts into each others ears. When the fighting actually stopped, they found themselves in Tal's living room. Feeling exhausted Tal and Milla made their way to his bedroom and collapsed onto the large size bed.
Both Milla and Tal were in a state of ecstasy combined with adrenaline from the night's events. As they laid on the bed, Tal's emotions got the better of him and he leaned over to kiss Milla's forehead. Milla didn't flinch or make any move to stop Tal, so he took it as a sign to continue. He slowly moved his lips down towards Milla's.
Milla felt unsure of proceeding further but as Tal finally planted his first kiss on the nape of her neck she submitted to his will. Emotions were high from the consumed alcohol at the party. One thing led to another and the night was alive with the sounds of love being made.
