[SacredArch Hotsprings]Lost in the Music of the Rain(Astrea)

[Dimitri]

Dimitri felt her bury her head in his chest, seeking his comfort. He heard her apology, saw her cheeks blush red. He tilted her chin up, bringing his lips to a breath away from hers, "There's no need to apologize." He continued to dance with her around, keeping his lips tantalizingly close to hers. He pulled her a bit tighter against him, and he could feel the curves of her blooming body through her now soaked dress. This began to set him on fire, wanting him to seek out more, but he kept himself in check.

He could feel their heartbeats thumping in near unison. The wind whistled through, the rain provided a steady tempo. The small falls provided a small rushing melody, their heartbeats an additional rhythm. The occasional thunderboom was thrown in with a loud crash. His eyes grew soft in hers as he felt the heat of her body warm him.

As they dance across the tiny bridge she felt their hearts both beating as one. She felt something…something she had never felt before. She didn’t know what it was though, all she knew was that she felt dizzy and her face felt warm. Their faces were only inches away from each other and his lips hovered just in front of hers. She began to draw in closer to him looking deep into his eyes. Now their lips just barely brushed each other’s and she could feel his warm breath on her face. His arms around her felt warm and she almost forgot that it was raining though the rain felt heavy in her blonde hair. Even though it was raining a cloud escaped from the sun allowing a small amount of sunshine to light up the raindrops like tiny individual crystals. The sun also made Astrea’s golden features glow as her hair caught the rays of the sun and her eyes burned a warm gold. Thunder rumbled in the sky, but Astrea was no longer afraid. She felt so warm, so secure in Dimitri’s arms. She could feel her blood pulse through her veins at an even tempo with him as each dancing step they took brought them closer together. It felt like a fairy tale with the almost glittering rain surrounding them and the warmth that surrounded them both.

Dimitri felt the girl's lips brush lightly against his. This sent waved of heat and emotion through his every fiber. He could feel the warmth of her breath mix with his, while cooling rain drops mingled along their joined lips. they continued to dance slowly and he pressed his lips a bit firmer, albeit tentatively, against hers. He could feel the stirrings of the man within him fighting against the teachings of the Knights. The young man within him wanted to slide the straps of her dress off of her shoulders and see where that would take him. The Knight in him however only allowed him to let one hand drift to her right hip, alighting like a lovers playful touch, and his other resting on her lower back.

He closed his eyes as he deepened this kiss, pressing more firmly against her lips. His inhibitions were on the brink of disappearing. He continued to drift slowly around, not paying attention to his surroundings, but still managing to stay away from the dangerous edges. Though the rain cooled his skin, his body burned with unknown passion, he didn't know this girl, and yet, felt like he knew all he needed to of her. His teenage body craved for her flesh, like a newly captured beast craves freedom. Although Dimitri couldn't see it, the bit of sunlight peering through began to form a rare spectacle. A small rainbow formed a partial arch over the bridge and the dancing pair.

Astrea felt him press his lips to hers and she gladly participated in the kiss feeling her cheeks burn more intensely. She brought her arms up and around Dimitri’s neck drawing him closer to her body and entangling her small, but warm fingers in his damp hair. She could feel her passion displaying itself in a way she had never shown before, yes this was her first kiss and it was wonderful. Never had she ever felt so much pleasure before as he drew her near to his warm muscular body. She intensified the kiss not sure what to do, but everything felt natural to her like she had already knew what to do. One of the shoulders of her dress slipped down showing the skin just below her neck. Their lips parted once as if they meant to say some sweet words for each other, but there was nothing to be said so they continued the warm passionate kiss. With one hand she traced his abb muscles that were perfectly sculpted into his abdomen with her small finger tips.

Dimitri continued the passionate kiss, his restraint barely held back by his knightly code. The hand resting on her hip began to grab at the fabric, tugging at the fabric, only being restrained by the right strap of her dress. His other hand began slowly drifting south, hesitantly, from it's spot on her lower back, stopping just before reaching it's goal. Her dress was completely soaked through by the wet rain, was now transparent, and sticking to every dip and curve in her youthful body. His hand slide down the fabric, gently over her backside. He took a slight risk and cupped his hand, gently squeezing her youthful flesh.

The rain began pouring even harder, darkening the sky even more. Dimitri stopped kissing her lips and slowly moved to behind her left ear. Then he gently pressed kisses, slowly, down her jaw line. He then pressed deep, nibbling kisses down her neck, and ending at her exposed shoulder. He then kissed his way back and reverse and renewed his fervor onto her lips. He was a river of passion bursting at the seams, taking the risks he would never think of outside of this situation.

Astrea could feel his hands trail down her spine sending excited shivers through her whole body. She had never felt this way before and in a way it felt thrilling. It was almost like she was being immoral, but she didn’t care. This was too pleasurable not to experience. Her breaths became uneven as she felt his display of affection for her, but then she broke the kiss looking into his eyes. “I don’t know you, but yet I feel like there is nothing else to know about you.” She whispered her lips still hovering just in front of his and brushing them as she spoke softly to him. She tenderly stroked the side of his face taking in every detail of him, his slightly curled and damp blonde hair, and his fierce eyes gazing down at her, and the muscles which with her other hand she was blissfully tracing them. “I have never felt this before since I have been sheltered for so long.” She almost spoke in a dreamy almost drunken way her words slightly slurring in way that showed that she was so dizzy from these overflowing emotions bursting inside of her.

OOCI figured one more post from you to finish up, we can do more threads later to build on this if youd like.

Something stirred within Dimitri. Something engulfing the feelings of lust and attraction. He didn't know what was happening but he was suddenly filled with doubt. While this was fun, something didn't quite click. He stepped away from her, the song of the rain crashing into chaos. He looked at her, his face quite confused. He didn't know what to do, but this wasn't feeling right any more. He'd never felt self regret before, and wasn't sure if thats what this was. All he knew was the happy innocence was gone for an unknown reason.

"I must be going. Be safe milady."

Dimitri grabbed his shield and shirt, and began heading back to Syliras. He looked to the clouds, hoping the rain would wash away these foreign feelings, to cleanse him. He knew the girl would be hurt, and it pained him to know that, but still he walked away. He hoped she would be okay, being so young and innocent. Maybe she was too vulnerable, maybe he thought he was taking advantage. He hoped to see her again, but not this way, not this time.

Astrea watched as he walked away. Did she do something wrong? She stood there in the rain not sure what to make fo this situation, all that passion was displayed and all he did was walk away. She let out a breath and then turned to walk down the trail she had just come from. It didn't matter anyways, they would probably never meet again. She walked over to the edge of the bridge and grabbed her muddy shoes and then began to walk back towards the orphanage were she got cleaned up at set for the night, but during that whole time she couldn't keep her mind off of that amazing moment at the springs. "Dimitri..." She whispered to herself as she replayed the images in her head of his strong muscualr body and golden piercing eyes. She wanted nothing more now then to see him again, but she continued to deny that they would ever meet again.

Illumination of Development Dimitri +3 Dancing +3 Seduction Lores: Waltz (Basic), The music of rain, Almost going over the edge Care to see more? : Pretty much straightforward, Dancing and Seduction experience for the dancing/flirting/seduction. Astrea Rose Griffin +3 Dancing +2 Seduction Lores: The music of rain, Feel of Dimitri's abs, The pain of longing Care to see more? : Pretty obvious for the rewards, but a little bit less Seduction experience for mostly being reactive rather than aggressive. Notes:Cute little thread with a bit of heat at the end. Astrea, just one note: Please read up on an area before posting about it. Syliras doesn't really have streets, as most everything is located in Stormhold Citadel, and you couldn't just stumble onto the hotsprings from Syliras. As Dimitri posted, you'd have to leave through the gates and wander out into the wilderness for 15 minutes to find the springs.
