Rodessa: *Sporadically* S-sir?! What are you doing!?! This is highly inappropriate, a-a-a-and-!
Huxian: Shhh~ I’m allowed to reward you from time to time.
Rodessa: *Deep Blush* B-but Sir-!
Huxian: *Tutting, Low Whisper* No buts. Just let me spoil you…
Rodessa: W-we can’t! We’re-
Huxian: *Sigh* Fine…If you’re going to be like that...it appears that I’ll just have to abuse my power a little bit, aren’t I?
Rodessa: *Shiver* What are you planning...Sir?
Huxian: *Dark Grin* For the next two days, Miss Kariudo, I regret to inform you that you are suspended.
Rodessa: *Shock* HUH!?!?!?
*Stark panic broke over the girl’s face, a million reasons darting through her mind, but none of them were even remotely major enough to result in suspension, which only made the panic worse.*
Rodessa: May I ask...w-what...what did I do to des-
Huxian: *Smirk* Nothing.
Rodessa: Then there’s no need for-!
Huxian: Then don’t think of it as suspension. Think of it more as...a well deserved break.
Rodessa: Sir, I don’t need a break. I need to get in more hours. This is the complete opposite of-
Huxian: *Stern* Actually, it’s not as separate as you may believe. Knowing when to take a break is very important. Currently, your management of your men is perfect, your knowledge and application of certain tactics has improved to excellence. However, you still maintain a tunneled vision when it comes to your goals that there is an important aspect you constantly neglect.
Rodessa: *Gritted teeth* And what would that be?
*Almost rolling his eyes, Huxian pushed the girl down onto the mattress, skillfully slipping his hands under the soft fabric of her dress before running his fingers with feather lightness over the contours of her frame, feeling her shiver run through her at the touch. Leaning over her, he gazed at her through his lashes before resting his hand over her chest*
Huxian: Its simple. It’s you, Roza.
Rodessa: *Confused* I… I don’t understand?
Huxian: Hm...let’s put it this way...What do you believe would happen if, say, you were in charge of a campaign and were to fall in battle? If you collapsed during a siege? If you were unable to lead simply because you were exhausted? What would the result be?
Rodessa: *Knitted Brow*…
*Seeing no answer forthcoming, Huxian hummed, wondering if she honestly didn’t realise, or if she was feigning ignorance. As such, he pulled the pin from his hair, the pale locks cascading over his shoulders before he disturbed the both of them, even as his voice, low and husky, continued his scenario.*
Huxian: Can you imagine it? What the worst outcome would be? No, what would surely be an inevitability in such a case? Your men would be leaderless. They would suffer, most likely they would die, scattered and directionless. That responsibility would fall on only one person’s head, the one who failed to be there when needed - on your head entirely. *Lowering voice* And that is something neither of us want, now do we?
Rodessa: *Shakes head* …..
Huxian: *Saultry* Well then, with that in mind, my lady, allow me to spoil you. Besides, we haven’t had much time to ourselves, and I never did get to show you around. This is supposed to be something of a honeymoon phase after all *Teasing*
*Rodessa’s eyes were wide as plates, an almost forgotten scent tickling at his nose and Huxian grinned. He almost had her*
Rodessa: H-honeymoon!?? I.. it’s not the time f-for th-th-that!!! Sir, I really should get to w-work!!! I mean-
*Grin turning that bit more feral as his prey- as Rodessa made to escape. However, he pulled her back from the near half hearted attempt, nibbling at the ridge of her ear. Face flushed, her scent just that bit heavier, she slowly went limp in his arms, though whether from embarrassment or simply submission to his ministrations it was anyone’s guess*
Huxian: Well? Going to behave? Or do I need to be a little more...underhanded?
Rodessa: Eep!
Huxian [Inner thought]: *Chuckle* She never changes. Cute, stubborn brat.
Huxian: *Innocent* Hm? I don’t know what thoughts are running through your head, lovely one, but I have no intention of doing...that tonight.
Rodessa: *Blush* You, You DEMON!
Huxian: *Grin* You called?
Rodessa: *Pout* Jerk!
Huxian: *Snicker* Forgive me, my lady.
*Despite his words, Huxian continued to gently tease the girl as the night wore on until she fell asleep, cradled in his arms. Thankfully, the rest of the night was undisturbed, and so, once morning came, Rodessa had nothing interrupting that would restart the discussion from the night before. As such, they dressed in more casual clothing before making their way down from the training grownds, Huxian easily hiding his non-human features with a spell, allowing them to head into town without unwanted attention. It seemed that there was a market taking place, many stalls filled with colour, arts, crafts, foods, spices, fine cloth and intricate weavings. They spent time looking through the stalls with curious eyes, at one point Huxian couldn’t help but eye some of the cloth, mind wandering to how his love would look in traditional dress, but soon, his attention was pulled away as Rodessa started to drift from his side, nose having caught scent of something that made her stomach growl in longing. Seeing the direction her nose was taking her, Huxian stifled a laugh, putting plans for clothing aside to take the girl’s hand in his and guide her over to the food cart*
Huxian: Ro, you’re practically salivating.
Rodessa: N-no I’m not! I’m not even hungry, s-so... Besides, don’t you think we should check on the troops instead of-
*Her voice cut off as her stomach protested loudly - a little too loudly at that. Febally attempting to smother the laughter bubbling in his chest, Huxian merely cast her an amused smirk*
Huxian: *Snicker* Uuuh huuu? It would seem your stomach greatly disagrees with your words, my dear.
Rodessa: *Embarrassed* S-shut up Idiot!!!
Huxian: *Flippantly* Yes yes. Now, my lady, what would you like? Pick something.
Rodessa: *Mumble* Number 4...Please.
Huxian: Ah, good choice. I haven’t had Rou Jia Mo in a while. May we have two of the number four, please?
-Author note Rou Jia Mo: chinese hamburger-
*After paying, they chatted with the cart owner for a while as the food was prepared before Huxian passed gave Rodessa her portion. The two ate their food as they continued to walk around the city, Rodessa relaxing enough that the two of them bought various items from stalls and shops. Finally, Huxian lead them to the last stop of their adventure for the day - a hotel*
Rodessa: *Half Whisper* Hue, we’re staying at a hotel? Shouldn't we be getting bac-
*However, she was interrupted by an enthusiastic front desk man, who beamed at their approach*
Desk man: Ah, my Lord! We were expecting you a little later. Luckily, the room is almost ready. Would you like to check in now or later?
*Placing a hand on Rodessa’s back, Huxian quickly whispered into her ear*
Huxian: Don’t fret for now. Just be a good girl and wait for me, ok?
Rodessa: *Pout* Don’t treat me like a kid.
Huxian: *Peck on the cheek* Never, my lady.
*Faint pink flushed the girl’s cheeks as she waved him off with a huff. There was obviously no changing his mind, so all she could really do was take his advice and relax. She watched as Huxian conversed with the man at the desk and...another staff member? Wait, had that one been there before? She focused, straining her ears to catch any hint of what they might be saying, but it was barely audible. She couldn’t quite be sure if even what she was picking up was right or not*
Huxian: ...That fine. Just so long as everyone knows where they stand…. Yeah, do it tonight… ok, that’s fine.
Staff Member: Mr Yin, your room is ready. Please follow me.
*The female staff member fluttered her eyes at Huxian, much to Rodessa’s fury. It was obvious she found him attractive. Her glare hardened at the two, eyes practically aglow, even as she attempted to compose herself from tearing into them, turning from the sight in disgust.*
Rodessa: *Quiet mutter* Desperate whore...I can’t stand this.
*Anything else was cut off as a strong pair of arms wrapped around the girl’s frame, a head nestling on top of her own. She could practically feel the smirk adorning the other’s face*
Voice: Then do something about it.
Rodessa: *Craning Neck.* Humph. If I were to do so, we would have one dead employee, a warrant for my arrest an a missing persons’ report for you… idiot.
Huxian: Territorial little thing, aren’t you?
Rodessa: It’s the Ashu-Wahari way. We’re territorial over our mates. But right now, I don’t have the luxury of making a scene… We are in public after all.
*Smiling, Huxian kissed her neck gently, just a little over where the long faded mark at her neck once was, soothingly*
Huxian: *Kiss* Then perhaps we should leave the public view. Come, my love, the room’s ready. Follow me.
*Taking her hand, Huxian walked them to a room on the far side of the hotel. However, there was something strange about it that Rodessa was sure she might have missed had she not been so trained - there appeared to be some kind of barrier that prevented them from going further, which confused her*
Rodessa: Hue?
*Offering her a reassuring look, Huxian pulled out a strangely carved gem. As he held it up, it began to glow, softly at first, before shimmering with light. As he did so, the barrier reacted and a door sized hole began to form before stabilizing, allowing Huxian to guide them through. On the other side was a room that stood at the end of the hallway, its door far more ornate than the others. With an almost lazy gesture, Huxian opened the door and Rodessa could only gaze, wide eyed at the sight before them - a lavish room that oozed expense, making her think of the quarters that belonged to a high lord or royalty rather than a hotel room*
Rodessa: Wow. What is this?
Huxian: This is one of the hotels I happen to have ownership of. And this room is my private room. It’s just the basics, nothing too fancy.
*For a long moment, Rodessa could only stare at the room, expression growing increasingly incredulous, before flattening.
Rodessa: Ok, listen, Rich Boy-
Huxian: *Laugh* Honestly, in comparison to what I actually was offered, this really is the basics. But that’s besides the point. I’m guessing the room is to your liking, Roza?
Rodessa: Yea… its...
Both: Beautiful.
Rodessa: Yeah.
Huxian: Oh, well, it’s alright, I suppose, though I personally wasn’t talking about the room… *Gentle smile*
*Whipping around, startled at his words, she found herself staring into his eyes as the man pulled her close, his fingers teasing as her thick locks, sliding through to cup the back of her head, tiling it slightly to uncover the place where his mark had once been. He nuzzled against it for a moment, fangs grazing the soft flesh, making her mouth dry and her body shiver*
Rodessa: H-hue.
*The trembling voice was all the encouragement he needed at bite down once more, remarking her, eliciting a shivering gasp at the almost intoxicating pain, her nails digging deeply into his back as the scent of pure want seemed to fill the air, blocking out any other scent but that of her. Soothingly, he ran his tongue over the mark, easing the last of the pain, coxing the last of the pleasure, his own eyes practically glowing as he finally pulled back, licking his lips before easing them both to the bed, pressing her back into the plush blankets*
Rodessa: *Wanting eyes* Hue…
*A growl that no human could accomplish rumbling in his throat, his eyes gleamed, more animalistically than usual, though his expression was strangely serene, calm as he gazed down at the woman pinned beneath him, his fingers stroking over the newly re-marked spot*
Huxian: *Sensually* I have exercised a great deal of self control, Roza, in order to allow us both to do our duties. However, now that we’re alone...I almost find myself at a loss...There is so much I want to do...And even a saint may have limits to their self control...I don’t think I’ll be able to….but, perhaps, just a taste should be fine…
*Rodessa, far from being spooked, practically shuddered at his words, even as Huxian closed the gap between them, capturing the girls lips in a long but passionate kiss, even as his fingers continued to stroke over the still sensitive mark, making her whisper into his mouth and grip at his hair. Continuing to tease at the bite, he dragged his other hand down her side, over the dress she wore before sneaking underneath to trail his nails over her skin, her back arching against him. Taking advantage of the gap between back and bed, he dragged the dress up, breaking the kiss just long enough for him to pull the dress off before claiming her mouth once again, dragging his tongue against hers, even as the dress was tossed somewhere in the direction of a vanity and promptly forgotten in favour of something far more tempting.
Once he was sure Rodessa was practically breathless, he pulled back enough to begin to kiss at her jaw, her neck and once again over the sensitive mark, sending chills of want and need lancing through her body, but every time she arched up for more, he pulled back, making her whine, lapping at the exposed skin, only never to give her that extra bit to push pleasure into ecstasy, forcing her to grasp at the blankets in pure needy frustration*
Rodessa: *Whining* Hue! stop! You’re...being mean...let me...
Huxian: Hm? Let you want? What do you want?
Rodessa: *Teary eyes* E-every… I w-want…
Huxian: *Dark Grin* Hm? Say it clearly, love, or how am I supposed to know?
Rodessa: *Deep Blush* Every...t-thing… Anything…. Y-you.
*His smile was practically devilish as he toyed with his prey, his eyes dancing with excitement*
Huxian: Good enough. I suppose I’ll let you have a your reward then.
*Untwining her fingers from the blankets, Huxian wrapped her arms around his neck to give her some support as he changed their positions, finally exploring her body just that bit more, breathing in her scent. She seemed like putty in his hands, still not used to his touch the way she once had been. However, Huxian knew. He knew every mark, every place that would make her shiver, ever part that would make her moan and writhe in need. The night could be long if he willed it. He could take all the time in the world until both their energies would spent*
Rodessa: Hue, you’re being mean today.
Huxian: *Smirk* Am I? I hadn’t noticed.
Rodessa: *Pout* Humph!
*Giving her only a near mysterious smile in response, he bucked his hips, leading them in his rhythm and whatever annoyance or grievances the girl had seemed to flee her mind with every giration. He hummed, guiding the girl’s hands to explore him in return, kissing her teasingly all the while.*
Huxian: *Between kisses* We’ll keep going to you’re used to it again.
*Barely clinging to reason, Rodessa could only nod, but even that was swept away by a shuddering gasp as Huxian’s skilled fingers dragged over her skin, lighting fires in their wake. She clung to him, pressing against him. When had she managed to pull the clothing from him? Had he used a spell? Had they removed it piece by piece? Had she torn it off, she couldn’t recall, only that their skin brushing against each other, his warmth bleeding into hers as they pressed closer only made her want that bit more, her own hands, slowly learning what to at his instruction beginning to explore him back just as eagerly, wanting him to gasp and groan and shudder in return, to feel the same hot desire run through his veins as she did.
Neither paid any attention to time, just continuing to explore each other until the girl was spent and she cuddled close into his arms, her head on his chest, dozing to the sound of his heartbeat. Cradling the half asleep girl in his arms, Huxian leaned back into the bed, content with his work at remarking his mate (it might not be truly official but he was sure they both knew). Absently, he tilted his head to where a clock at on the bedside table. It was still a few hours before evening meal, giving them time to rest before the had to move*
Rodessa: *Soft howl sleep talking* Feral beast, perverted fox, way too much stamina… hips hurt… *Grumble, Grumble* Zzzzzz.
Huxian: *Soft laugh* But weren’t you the one who begged for more? The blame is with you, too, my sleeping princess.
*He kissed her lips softly, setting an alarm before tucking them both in.*
Huxian: But it's fine. I intend to spoil you rotten, my lady.
