"Cuck."
Kaldani cringed. She cringed the first time, and it's only gotten worse over the months. It was more painful than the ropes biting into her wrists and Elegis's skull occasionally crushing into the back of her head, as the poor woman struggled to keep calm.
Although "keep" might not have been the correct word. Elegis seemed unable to reach any sense of calmness – not even finally arriving at this cesspool of a city had helped her nerves. Still, Kaldani held no grudge against the woman. It's not like she herself came out of the whole mess fully intact.
"Well, well, well... Shoulda paid when you had the chance, ladies. I wouldn't have had to pay you a visit then." Caïros grinned, sharp, impossibly white canines practically glimmering in the dim light of their cellar. Kaldani's mind instantly conjured up a hundred ways to bash in his stupid mug. (Also Asharak and Danis, though she couldn't exactly pinpoint why.)
"Go fuck yourself" she spat. Then, when the man leaned in a bit too close for her comfort, she actually spat right in his eye.
Infuriatingly, the bastard only snorted.
"Hah, stop it, luv. Gonna make me hard if you keep going like that. I know you missed me, and maybe we can have some fun later, but now, daddy's gotta work."
Kaldani's nostrils flared, and she lowered her head, fully showing her horns, while scraping the ground with one of her boot heels. She forced herself to relax, not wanting to mess up at the last second.
"What about the other one? You holdin' up alright over there?"
As their captor stepped over to Elegis, the woman's panic jumped to such levels, she almost made both of them fall over with the chairs they were bound to. Only by Tymora's grace did the small knife Kaldani was holding stayed in her hand. She tried sneaking her tail over to Elegis's in a – she hoped – comforting gesture, but it just made the woman jump a second time.
"Easy there, girl!" Caïros chided. "What, are you half goldfish? My pa used to have them in his pond. Poor buggers always scattered when I tried to poke 'em. Stupid idiots."
"What are you even talking about?" groaned Kaldani and good thing she did, because it drowned out the sound of rope snapping.
"Just yapping away the hours till your friends come home and buy your freedom, ladies."
"I'd prefer silence."
"Then shut your mouth, cuck."
The bastard would be lucky to get away with either of his ears intact, Kaldani mused. She turned her attention back to the knife and the ropes. Eyes closed, she heard her own heart beating a savage rhythm in her chest, Elegis's short, panicked breaths behind her and the sound of water hitting the stone wall of the stellar.
That was new.
Her eyes snapped wide open, and with as little movement as she could manage, she turned towards their captor standing in a corner, legs spread comfortably apart.
A toothy, insidious grin spread on her face, as she slipped one hand out of the bindings and quickly onto Elegis's mouth, the other following closely with the knife.
She pondered about letting Caïros fully empty himself, but the word "cuck" echoing in her mind vetoed the notion. She sneaked behind him and with the force of an hour of bottled up rage, she drove her knee into the smuggler's crotch.
That felt incredibly good.
To Kaldani that is.
To Caïros, the world became a white hot flash of pain for quite a while.
When he came to, he was sitting on a chair previously occupied by one of his captives. Both of them were standing a few feet away – unbeknownst to him, as far away from the corner he had used as a lavatory as possible – and were arguing.
"-out of here." Elegis said, while she rubbed her wrists.
"No, there could still be others upstairs. Cerys, Zorru and Rikka won't be home until sundown." countered Kaldani.
"What do we do till then?" Elegis shot a nervous glance at Caïros, then looked further down and on her face, a tinge of disgust mixed into the expression of skittish anxiety. "Shouldn't we... cover him up? His, uh..."
"I'm not touching his dick." Kaldani scowled.
Caïros grinned, the shadow of the pain still apparent in his features. "What's the matter, cucks, intimidated by such a fine specimen? Come on, Kali, you've seen it a dozen times before, and you damn well liked it."
Kaldani rolled her eyes and huffed.
Elegis frowned, but curiosity kept her gaze on Caïros's member for a few more seconds, before she turned to Kaldani.
"I can't say I've seen many penises. None of my partners had one."
"Really?" asked Kaldani, slightly stunned at how casual this conversation was turning. As if they were sitting at a tavern after a long day of work, with a mug of cold ale or a goblet of rich wine.
"Y-yeah. Not that I had a lot of opportunities since Elturel to really indulge myself in such... pleasures. Not that I had been very active in that regard before that... I mean before the Descent, before we left Elturel. I had other things on my mind during that. Like survival."
Kaldani stared at her blankly. She figured Elegis was probably just trying to control her panic by saying whatever came to her mind at the moment. Rambling. Oversharing.
A lot of people thought Kaldani a good listener, but really, she was mostly just not paying attention when people kept babbling on. It's essentially how she made it as far with Caïros as she did – the man could talk her ears off with tales of his ventures that one could never follow because he kept calling everyone but himself "cuck" in them. After about the second "cuck", it all blended into the background noise of the city.
"You talk too much, cuck."
Kaldani tensed up. It was one thing to let Elegis's words dissolve into the general white noise of the world around her – letting whatever she was saying flow into one pointy ear and exiting the other without disturbing much in between...
But openly insulting her went way too far for her liking.
Kaldani closed the distance between herself and Caïros in one step and pushed the sharp edge of her knife to his throat hard enough to draw blood. The flames of a roaring forest fire raged in her orange eyes.
"Say 'cuck' again! Say 'cuck' again, I dare you! I double-"
"What's a 'cuck' anyway?" squeaked Elegis behind her, hoping against hope she could stop Kaldani before she painted the cellar red.
The woman shot her an incredulous look before slowly turning back to Caïros, who started sniggering.
"Not a word..." she growled.
"You mean he just made it up?" Kaldani blinked.
"What? No, I was telling him not to dare open his mouth."
"Oh, I see."
A few seconds of gruelling silence followed, broken by Elegis, who seemed to have calmed down, or at least reached a level of panic where she stopped vibrating.
"So... what does it mean? Is it like 'cock', but with an accent?"
Kaldani thought fast, and fetched an especially dirty looking empty sack from the ground, swiftly stuffing it into Caïros's mouth before he could burst out laughing. She checked his binds just in case, then took a deep breath, and spoke:
"A 'cuck' is someone, whose partner fucks someone else with or without them knowing. It can also mean a person is weak and... sexually... unsuccessful. A loser."
Elegis appeared to be deep in thought. Kaldani left her to it, and glanced back at her... boyfriend.
The same insidious smile as before twisted her face into a frightening visage and for the first time today, Caïros's ego seemed to forsake him. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, right where his horns connected to that ugly, thick skull.
"We never did get around to breaking up, did we."
A raised brow indicated the man's confusion.
Kaldani straightened up, and slowly started to unbutton her shirt. Before pulling the two sides apart, however, she turned around and looked Elegis in the eyes, her smile having turned coy in the process. The other woman was just as confused, but seeing Kaldani's cleavage having grown exponentially in size, another feeling, further down, flared up inside of her.
She swallowed: "Are you all right, Kaldani?"
"I just came up with the greatest idea!"
"Better than when you wanted to get tally marks tattooed on yourself for each tree you cut down in the Grove? Two if it really annoyed the druids?"
"Oh, I actually got that."
"Really?"
"Want me to show you?"
Elegis almost immediately yelled "yes", but some nagging feeling at the back of her mind halted the operation.
"Where on your body... exactly are they?"
Elegis didn't think it was possible, but Kaldani's smile widened. She stepped a bit closer, still giving plenty of room for the other woman, not wanting to trap her.
"They're on my upper arm. I can just roll up my sleeve, or take off my shirt altogether. Whichever you prefer."
Elegis blinked to try and refocus her gaze from Kaldani's chest to her arm. Or any other part for that matter.
"Why would you strip down?"
"I could show you how that 'cuck' thing works. This bastard here is still kind of my boyfriend, so everything would be by the book, so to speak."
"You want to have sex with me?"
"Only if you want it too."
Elegis's eyes widened and she looked very much like a deer, frozen in place in front of a horseless cart with a pair of bright lanterns attached to its front bearing down on her fast.
"You want to make him a cuck?" she tried another question, stalling for time, hoping to make heads or tails of the whole situation in the meantime.
"Sure. He's wearing the horns already, so..."
At the man's muffled protests, she kicked him in the shin.
"We have horns too, though."
"Don't think too hard on that."
Elegis retreated into her own mindspace, a fierce debate going on behind her eyes. Kaldani was pretty sure she wasn't usually this red. She chuckled softly as she approached her, one hand reaching out to grab hers.
"Whatever happens in here, stays a secret. You can trust me." She caressed her palm, running her fingers through the soft pads, leaving enough room so that Elegis could easily slide out of it. She didn't, though. "It can be a one off thing, or we can even start dating."
"But I'm so awfully inexperienced. You wouldn't enjoy me... my company." Elegis was shaking, though this time, it wasn't because of panic.
"That's okay. No one starts out as an expert. We could learn together." Kaldani's smile was now softer, her gaze almost loving. She let those telltale butterflies fill her stomach, not concerned with what it all meant in the moment.
"But I- I never had an orgasm with someone else before. Never managed."
As Elegis spoke the last two words, her shoulders sagged and she cast down her eyes. Kaldani waited a few moments before putting a hand under the other woman's chin, gently tilting it upwards, so their eyes met once again. When Kaldani spoke, her voice was barely a whisper, the words solely intended for Elegis.
"I took me a lot of time as well. And a good partner. If we don't manage today, we'll manage tomorrow. Or after that. Trust me."
Elegis's whole world was filled with her own rapid heartbeats and Kaldani's scorching, yet strangely comforting gaze. She felt the orange irises boring into her gently, slowly opening her up, as she let down her walls to give them passage.
She let gravity pull her closer to the woman, soft bodies melding together in the romantic gloom of their leaky cellar. Their lips met, soft, the shared warmth spreading all over. A tongue tentatively lapped at the small gap between Elegis's lips, which she greeted with her own.
Two warm hands cupped her cheeks, one wandering up to her ear, rubbing the sensitive tip, making her gasp into Kaldani's mouth. She held onto her, grasping to her unbuttoned shirt, so that when they both emerged from the passionate kiss, Elegis was greeted by Kaldani's bare breasts.
She eyed them, then looked at the woman, as if asking for permission. Kaldani answered by shrugging out of the shirt the rest of the way and letting it fall down by her legs, revealing an impressive tally of trees felled – and druids upset – on her arm.
When Elegis started undoing the clasps of her own tunic, Kaldani swatted away her hands and with surprising speed and finesse, took the garment off her.
"You're beautiful" she breathed, leaning in close to kiss her again, as she sneaked her hands behind her.
A minute later she drew back, annoyed: "How in the Hells do you take this thing off?!"
"You don't know how a bra works?" asked Elegis, cheeky smile playing on her lips.
"I never wear one."
"Oh. Here, let me..."
Elegis let out a nervous chuckle, as Kaldani took in the sights, effortlessly slipping back into her groove, flashing a debonair smile.
The dark haired tiefling glanced momentarily at their captor turned captive who, judging by his member, was enjoying the show. A bit too much to Kaldani's liking.
"You want me to turn him over so he can't watch us?" Before even finishing the sentence, Kaldani started walking towards Caïros only to be stopped by Elegis's hand on her shoulder.
"No!" she exclaimed leaving Kaldani momentarily perturbed. "I mean... You said anything that happens here, stays here, right?"
The woman nodded.
"Okay, then... don't tell this to anyone please, but... I've been having this fantasy."
"Go on..." Kaldani perked up.
Elegis swallowed down the rest of her inhibitions: "I want someone to watch me while I... while we're doing it."
The poor girl's face and ears must've burnt hotter than a forge judging by their colour, and Kaldani got ever closer to being hopelessly enamoured.
She stepped closer to her to draw her trembling form into an embrace, feeling her tail wrap tightly around his thigh and calf.
"Why don't you sit down so I can get those pants off you? Here, let me put my shirt under you."
"Won't it get ruined?"
"Maybe I want it to get ruined." lied Kaldani. Coin was still tight, and she bought the garment in question at a bargain she was sure was only a freak mistake on the seller's part.
They ended up using Elegis's tunic, judging it to be of a more resilient material. The dark-haired tiefling sat down, letting Kaldani kneel before her and pressing soft kisses onto her stomach, teasing as she slowly trailed her fingers over the ridges that ran from Elegis's side towards her core. When she reached the woman's trousers, she began slowly – so tantalizingly slowly – pulling them down.
Elegis let her head hang back over the back of the chair, losing herself in the sensations. She almost fell down when she felt hotness between her legs that wasn't her own arousal. Looking down she saw Kaldani staring back at her through half-lidded eyes, her gaze burning, her mouth hovering over the short-haired tiefling's already damp underwear.
Then Kaldani, tightly grasping the other woman's hips, licked a long line over her smallclothes still covering her eager sex. Elegis held onto the chair letting out a wanton whine, screwing her eyes shut.
When she opened them again, her trousers were fully gone, though she still had her boots on. How Kaldani managed that when before she couldn't even manage a bra clasp, Elegis had no clue, but she had more interesting matters to turn her attention to.
Like Kaldani getting rid of her own pants as well.
"I half-expected you to not wear any underwear at all." Elegis laughed, still a bit nervous, but much more enthusiastic.
"Maybe I'll do that from now on. Or maybe not. You're gonna have to wonder whenever you see me." Kaldani teased, putting his boots back on and slowly walking back to Elegis, hips swaying, tail emphasizing the movement behind her.
Elegis thought the chestnut-haired woman was going to get on her knees again – the mere anticipation sent shivers of pleasure throughout her body – but Kaldani instead stepped around her, leaning down for a quick peck, before settling behind the chair.
She kept her face barely an inch from Elegis's, whispering into her ear: "Want to show that bastard how excited I made you feel? Imagine him staring at you, cock aching for attention, as you spread your legs, slowly revealing your dripping..."
Kaldani moved one hand over Elegis's boob, lightly pinching a nipple, while the other hand slid down her smallclothes inch by inch. When Elegis's whole sex was bared, Kaldani swiftly took them all the way off and tossed them onto her shirt folded neatly on a nearby crate.
Then she brought her hand back between Elegis's legs, fingers spreading the dark haired woman's wet lips.
"Look at that cuck" She took great pleasure in speaking the word. "He can't stop gawking at you. Why don't you show him how you like getting off?"
Elegis whimpered as Kaldani's hand left her folds to join the other in fondling her breasts. The dark-haired tiefling, surprising both members of her audience, curled her tail so the spade glided over her own arousal, using her hands instead to grab onto Kaldani's neck.
The brown-haired woman watched in awe as Elegis first teased her hole with her spade, before sliding it up to circle her nub with the tip wet with her own arousal. Kaldani slid her own tail below the chair and gently pushed Elegis's away to take its place.
"That's it, good girl." she purred, mimicking the motions and kissing behind the woman's ear.
Elegis mewled, her whole body tensing and for a moment, Kaldani thought she was coming, but after a few seconds, the dark-haired tiefling plopped back onto the chair, letting out a frustrated grunt.
"I-I can't..." she panted.
"Shh, we've barely started. Focus on enjoying the ride, alright?" Kaldani planted a soothing kiss onto Elegis's cheek, lightly caressing the ridges running along her collarbone. She circled around her, pulling the dark-haired tiefling up to a quick peck on the lips before continuing: "Come on, tell me, what's your heart's deepest desire?"
Elegis hesitated – perhaps because she wasn't sure or more likely she was just afraid to say it. She gathered her bravery soon enough, looked into Kaldani's eyes, and said:
"I want to caress and taste you."
The brown-haired woman blinked, brows raised. She expected something spicy or even dirty, yet she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the sheer simplicity of Elegis's request. And she wasn't about to deny her the pleasure.
"I'm all yours." she said, flashing a sultry smile.
Elegis bit her lower lip which made Kaldani's world spin for a moment and she didn't even hear what the woman was saying.
"What?"
"Could we... turn him around?" Elegis pointed at Caïros, his enjoyment still apparent, and not just on his face.
Kaldani shot him a vile look, before winking at Elegis and kicking the chair out from under the man. He landed on the floor with a muted "oomph" and a thud (Kaldani hoped it was his skull) and before he knew it, his legs were also bound and he was facing the wall and some bottles Kaldani kept forgetting to sort and organize for tendays.
She shuddered as she felt hands tenderly grabbing her hips, turning her around and let pleasure fully overtake her when Elegis kissed her. The dark-haired tiefling was so eager, but also gentle in a way that sent tingles throughout Kaldani's body. She forgot the leaky cellar, the stupid idiot ex-boyfriend, the annoying costumers who refused to pay her fairly for her woodworking commissions...
All she knew in that moment was Elegis, still kissing her, while exploring her body with tender curiosity. She felt fingers running along the infernal ridges on her sternum, then as one of them lightly grazed a nipple, and she gasped, she heard Elegis chuckle softly.
Her kisses followed the trail of her fingers, tracing each inch one after the other. Kaldani's breaths hitched, the sensation pleasurably ticklish. She wanted to sneak her hand down into her smallclothes so badly, but soon found another place for it in Elegis's hair, ruffling it as the woman licked over his nipple.
When she tentatively sucked on it, Kaldani brought her other hand up to her cheek to draw her closer, to encourage her. She noticed her underwear starting to slide downwards, with some help from Elegis's not-so-sneaky fingers, and decided to just... let go.
This was unlike her. She liked to be in control of whatever happened to her – a luxury she only very recently started to reclaim – but in this moment, she revelled in handing over the reins.
She was the unexplored wild land, full of secrets and treasures, all for the one brave adventurer that was Elegis. Who climbed her mounds, circling its peaks with her tongue; who mapped out the many ridges that surrounded those mounds, stretching southwards towards her smooth plains, in the middle of which lay a cross-shaped gully.
Elegis explored that as well, from one point to the other, from north to south, from east to west. Then, she scaled the twin ranges that bordered the plains before braving the most hallowed part of this exhilarating land.
Elegis got onto her knees in an act of passionate reverence and let her lips sing a hymn to Kaldani, as she thirstily lapped up the sweet nectar of her spring. Her tongue twisted and turned, pushing into the sacred depths, trying to find the source, that blessed her with such intoxicating ambrosia.
"Elegis..." came a voice from above, perhaps the goddess of the land speaking.
"Hm?" is all Elegis could say, her mouth still engrossed in ardent worship.
Something stirred in Kaldani's depths not even the dark-haired tiefling's eager tongue had reached yet. But she was getting exceedingly close.
"Wait... Elegis..." she breathed, pulling away and beckoning the short-haired tiefling to stand up. Before Elegis could ask what was wrong, Kaldani kissed her once again, tasting herself on her lips.
They were holding onto each other so tightly, their bodies all but melding together once again. Even their tails formed a snug braid. Still it didn't seem to be enough for Elegis, who kept fidgeting, trying to fill in all the empty space that remained between them. It didn't take long for Kaldani to catch onto what she was doing. She giggled into the kiss.
"You know, there are much better ways to do that."
"Do what?" Kaldani had to admit, that sounded almost believable. If only there wasn't that cheeky smile spread across her beautiful, tattooed face.
"Let's get back to the chair and I'll show you."
After some adjustments, sporadically interrupted by everything from light pecks to sensual kisses – with tongues involved – they finally settled down: Kaldani sat on the chair under Elegis, hooking one leg around her hips, as the dark-haired woman lowered herself so their arousals met, eliciting a moan from both of them.
Elegis braced herself, one hand gripping the back of the chair, the other holding onto Kaldani, and started to move. Jolts of pleasure ran through their bodies, as their sensitive nubs rubbed together, making them gasp and whimper. The chestnut-haired woman gripped her companion's hip with one hand, the other sliding first onto her shapely buttock, then to the base of her tail.
As she started rubbing the soft underside, Elegis quickened her pace and almost immediately slipped, knocking her horns to Kaldani's. They first shared a breathy laugh then a sloppy kiss.
Elegis redoubled her efforts, paying no heed to her aching calves or straining ligaments. She could almost taste her own peak. If only she could finally reach it.
"I'm... so... close..." she panted, but her pace faltered and her rhythm became jerkier with every passing moment. "I can't..."
She tried pushing her limits, but her mounting frustration and exhausted limbs made her almost stumble down next to the chair. She was preparing an apology that never left her throat, because in the last moment, Kaldani lifted her, spun around and switched their positions, so Elegis was now sitting and she was back in control.
"Hold on to your... I mean, my butt. I'm gonna ride you straight to the stars."
The short-haired tiefling barely had time, before her companion started moving her hips in a pattern, that genuinely hypnotized Elegis. Not to mention how good it felt.
Up until this point, Kaldani stayed relatively quiet, not wanting to give any more pleasure to Caïros no doubt listening intently on the ground a few feet from them. Now she finally stopped giving a damn and let the sounds of her pleasure escape her throat. She moaned, she whined, she purred, and when she had enough air for it, she called out Elegis's name, whispered sweet, breathy compliments into her ear, and when she felt the woman shiver under her from all this, she took the tip between her lips, and sucked.
Everything that left Elegis's mouth was an incomprehensible mess. The most she could do was hold on without digging her claws into Kaldani's back and butt. When she felt the woman's lips on the tip of her ear, the whole world around her went blank.
Only Kaldani remained, and an ever mounting sensation, that left her breathless and wound her up to her breaking point, where it washed over her in great unstoppable waves. She cried out Kaldani's name over and over again, the chestnut-haired woman doing the same with Elegis's name in low moans.
They clung to each other throughout it all, only descending from their peaks when the last drop of their strength ran out, and Kaldani all but collapsed onto Elegis. It was a miracle that both of them stayed on the chair.
When their breathing calmed down a bit, Kaldani spoke first:
"I'll get off of you in a moment... just, need to check if I can stand." she chuckled hoarsely.
"No, you can stay... Just let me move my left leg a little. Okay, we're good."
"We're great."
They laughed, both of them still a little breathless.
"Do you think we can have the bath tonight?" Elegis sighed.
"Sure hope so, after all we've been through." groaned Kaldani though her heart wasn't really in it.
Elegis giggled and gave her a tender kiss on the temple.
"Sooo... about this guy..." She nodded towards Caïros, still lying pathetically on the floor.
Kaldani thought for a second. "Let's try that exhibitonism thing with someone less irritating. How about Rikka? She could bring Lia, they'd watch us while we..." her voice trailed off as she noticed confusion settling onto Elegis's handsome face.
"I meant, is he still your boyfriend or..."
"Oh! Oh, uhm, no. He's barely been my anything for a tenday now, but it was never really said out loud. But I'm saying it now. I'm breaking up with you... cuck! Eugh, I'm never saying that word again..."
"Good, I've had enough of it for a lifetime."
"Why do you ask by the way?" asked Kaldani coyly.
"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"I thought you'd never ask. Of course."
They giggled and kissed each other again, their tails curling contentedly below the chair, spades brushing lightly. They were so lost in the moment, they didn't notice the frantic steps upstairs rapidly approaching the cellar door which, in the next second, flew open, first revealing the point of a scimitar, then Cerys.
The scout jumped down the stairs and then froze on the spot as she tried processing the sights. Elegis sitting naked on a chair; Kaldani sitting in her lap, naked as well; on the other side of the cellar, a tiefling man lying on the ground tied up with his...
Cerys had many questions. Some, she wasn't sure she wanted the answers to. Some, she was sure she didn't. She settled on the most reasonable one: "Are you all right?"
"Yeah." Kaldani said dreamily. Elegis just nodded, the awkwardness of the situation seeping more readily into her lustful mind than into Kaldani's.
Cerys nodded back, cautiously proceeding to the next question.
"Did he..." she pointed a thumb at Caïros.
"No! No, gods, nothing like that." Elegis responded.
"Good." Cerys still felt like she had no solid ground under her, but slowly started to regain her footing. More questions vied for her attention still.
Elegis, sensing the inner turmoil of the scout, offered an awkward, apologetic smile: "It's a... a long story."
***
After getting rid of Caïros – generously letting him pull up his pants – and two of his accomplices, who had been standing guard (horizontally with eyes closed) until Rikka arrived home and fetched the others...
After all that, sinking into the hot, soapy water of their shared bath was pure heaven for Kaldani. She couldn't imagine it getting any better than this. Right until she felt tender, dextrous fingers weaving into her hair, slowly massaging some scented shampoo into her scalp.
She positively purred eliciting a chuckle from Elegis: "I take it you want me to continue."
"Gods, don't even think about stopping." Kaldani sank deeper into the tub, sloshing some of the water out onto the floor.
"Maybe we should've used less water."
"No, it's perfect."
A few blissful moments passed, which stretched into long minutes. Elegis started humming a soft tune, and to her surprise, Kaldani joined in.
When the last rays of the sun disappeared over the horizon, plunging the bathroom into greyish darkness, and the water grew lukewarm, only then did Kaldani spoke again:
"How long until you open your salon?"
"A few more tendays, perhaps."
"You can practice on me in the meantime."
"I don't want to ruin your hair. It's so beautiful."
"Only because you made me that special shampoo."
"All right... but only if you truly want a new haircut."
Instead of answering, Kaldani just turned around, pressing her lips to Elegis's, softly cupping her cheeks. As they looked at each other, their orange eyes glimmered in the pale moonlight, their stomachs full of butterflies.
