Thread: Ascension to the Heavens|Descent into Hell(Corsair and Xana)

Clara backed away, because the feel of his body was intoxicating. Because his presence could melt the resentment she carried Already, she could feel herself giving in, wishing he would kiss her. Wishing he was pressing his lips to her mouth and skin, instead of merely teasing her. What was it about this form than made Verrier irresistible? Was it because it was just for her, chosen to appeal to her desires? Or was she imagining that part? I did offer myself, She acknowledged, trying to focus on the argument, to concentrate while her drove her mad. I offered myself in exchange for your protection, so you would defend Monsford, from demons. But you took up my charge because I made you, not because of my offer. At that recollection, she rolled their bodies, pushing him against the wall this time, struggling to pull back from kissing him, from devouring his mouth with a bestial, primal hunger. Afodisia, she started, leaning into his body, holding him in place. It was half an attempt to counter his claims about the Gods, and half a moan, a desperate pleading for more of him. Afodisia offers us power in return for faithful service. It is freely chosen. Yet, even as she said the words, she knew they werent entirely true. In the strictest sense, it was a choice, but it didnt often feel like one. Less so, perhaps, since the threat of the demons diminished. But to turn away from the calling was cowardice. What you did to me, it was a boon, at times. An advantage against the demons, I can admit. But, what its cost meNo one understands. You dont even understand. You dont even care, dont even care to understand. Is it living, to be frozen in time? To watch the world pass me by. Life is change and growth, this existence is none of that. She pushed away and sighed, wiping her eyes. Sorry, I justneeded to tell someone. To say it out loud. Put my loss into words, With another sigh she shook her head. Just another of those silly human things, you couldnt possibly understand. One last sigh and she composed herself, finding herself reaching for his hand. Another human gesture she wasnt sure he could understand. What did you want to show me? Lily moaned, passed between kissing the woman and the man, two people whose names she didnt even know. Didnt care to know. Didnt care who was kissing her, or touching her or who might end up inside her, in the moment. Just wanted to chase that pleasure, as far as it went. A third hand grabbed her arm, with a gentle, insistent strength. Who was this now, another who wanted her? Another who wanted to taste her lips and feel her body and By the Gods, it was her brother! Well, that splashed cold water on her desire, not needing another word to pull herself away from the hedonism playing out before her. She dressed quickly, not bothering with armor at the moment, just fixing her top and breeches. Suddenly Svalis was distracting the priestess, giving them an out from the ceremony. It had been tempting. Too tempting, as she realized they were the only ones declining to join in. I think we have seen enough, Anja decided, taking Lilys hand to pat it comfortingly. And we spent half the day traveling, so we should get some rest. But we do look forward to speaking with you again, priestess. Zamira, She introduced, letting her eyes pass over the group, smiling seductively. The blond man that had been groping Lily turned his attentions to her, not stopping his attention despite the discomfort and building arousal of the group. Perhaps, because of that discomfort and building arousal. I do hope to get to know you all so much better.
