Aloy walked up the long bridge to Meridian eager to ease her aching backside as she had been riding a strider at an urgent gallop for most of the day. She had ridden hard through villages not caring that she frightened the locals sitting astride a normally hostile machine. she couldn't take it into the city, so she walked. fighting the urge to run. only one question on her mind.
"Would Talanah be there tonight?"
She hoped to come home tonight and reunite with her girlfriend.
Talanah's role as Sunhawk meant lots of meetings and trips to far-flung hunting grounds and hunters, as well as long hunting trips so Aloy would be devastated if she was out today. She longed to see her she quickened her pace she couldn't take the disappointment if she wasn't in.
Talanah would want to stay for Aloys return but Aloy had been gone so long this time and she didn't know in advance when she would return.
Her quest had dragged on and on as though the world conspired to keep them apart. If one more random villager asked her about some rogue machine or lost valuable, she was going to scream!
She was ready for some well-earned quality time with her girlfriend. She wound her way through the narrow streets of Meridian impatiently striding making her way towards the hunter's lodge. She had very pressing business in there.
Talanah Khane Padish the Sunhawk of the Hunters lodge was studying a dense old map on the lodge balcony table when she saw Aloy's distinctive red mane out the corner of her eye. "Could it really be her?" She had a couple of false starts before seeing red hair at the door and getting her hopes up but disappointingly it was always some other girl. so, when she heard her voice as she greeted Ligan at the door her heart leapt. She abandoned the map and ran down towards her girlfriend.
"Aloy!"
"Talanah!" Exclaimed Aloy so happy and relieved to see her after such a long time.
Talanah was wearing her usual blue Carja crop top, and she looked as gorgeous as ever.
Aloy was in a light white spark Worker top.
Her red braids flying Aloy was half jumping, and half being pulled straight into Talanah's arms and immediately they were passionately smooching each other by way of Greeting.
"Mmmmmm." they both sighed loudly and sensually. Embracing Talanah, Aloy forgot all her inhibitions about PDA and was kissing her with all her heart. neither of them even considered waiting for a second longer to find somewhere more private. they had both waited far too long for this.
Talanah poured all her pent-up lust and longing into the kiss.
Aloy was hugging her tightly, before she knew it her tongue was embracing Talanah's.
"Mmm, Hello Aloy" Talanah thought as she felt Aloy's tongue caressing itself against hers once again.
their eyes closed in loving bliss.
their hands running all over each other.
Aloy is busy ruffling her partner's smooth dark hair
before massaging her body. Talanah feeling up Aloy running a hand through her thick thatch of red hair while cheekily groping her ass.
both totally lost in all-consuming desire.
Aloy kissed wildly and happily. tongue gliding all over Talanah's mouth.
Talanah didn't know what had gotten into her normally self-conscious girlfriend, but she liked it a lot. They were of one mind right now and it was amazing, they both wanted exactly the same thing right now to share each other in a wet open mouth kiss with endless waves of tongue. For as long as possible.
They stood there for ages heads tilted, eyes closed and swapping spit but as far as they were concerned the world stood still. they kissed amorously like no one was watching but everyone was, the other hunters were all transfixed by the sight of the audacious couple. They didn't even notice them but then the lodge could have collapsed around them right now and they wouldn't have heard or cared.
Aloys heart was beating out her chest Her pulse racing, she felt giddy with joy.
So excited to be with Talanah again she was buzzing all over.
She still loved the novelty of kissing and being kissed.
She hugged her girlfriend kissing her harder and deeper making up for the lost time.
Their heads were angled as they squeezed themselves as close as possible pulling each other even tighter.
the kiss so intense it made Aloy's head spin.
Even Talanah was a little dizzy she didn't think she'd ever been kissed so hard or so well in her entire life.
both breathless when they finally parted.
"Wow! that was a kiss worth waiting for." said a beaming Aloy
"Mmmmm I'd forgotten what a great kisser you are," stated Talanah proudly.
Aloy blushed, then she blushed even harder finally noticing just how busy the bar was in the lodge.
She coughed awkwardly while looking around. She knew what had come over her and she didn't regret it one bit. It had been Worth it.
Talanah thought "I have never been kissed like that in- well ever."
She had lovers and girlfriends before, but none had ever wanted her, needed her the way Aloy did.
Talanah realised that in her excitement she hadn't even registered that Aloy was wearing an Oseram outfit she must have been fighting some electric machines earlier.
the simple white tunic was really pleasing to her eye. She interrupted Aloys embarrassment.
"Welcome back Aloy!" Talanah said smoothly not caring a jot about just passionately kissing her in public, talking as if nothing had happened.
"Grab a drink and sit down with me. I want to hear all about your trip
We simply must catch up." Both happily skipping up the stairs to the balcony.
"What's that?" asked Aloy as the huge map on the desk caught her eye.
"Oh, don't mind that we are just looking at a revamp of the old hunting grounds and potential new locations." Answered Talanah grabbing a flagon to pour Aloy a drink. Aloy pored over the map automatically wanting to help Talanah "Perhaps I could help I've been all over from Mother's Heart to Sunstone Rock by now. "She thought.
"Let me have a look maybe I can help out the lodge for you. Though if you can't figure it out and I can it makes me wonder why I'm not the Sunhawk instead." She offered teasingly
Talanah thought "Fuck! Aloy is just so kind and selfless. She's always thinking of helping others. I can't keep track of how many favours she's done for random strangers in Meridian. And always so quick-witted too. What a catch!"
Aloy pondered the map thinking of all the places she'd been. When she looked up Talanah was gazing at her with a warm dreamy smile still appreciating her.
"What is it?"
"It's so good to have you back. She said with her normal voice then she
whispered, "I really missed you Aloy."
"I missed you too." Breathed Aloy,
"Then prove it," ordered Talanah grinning, pressing herself up close
and holding her then swooping her low till Aloy was almost lying in her arms.
draping herself over Aloy giving her one more slow and steamy kiss full of yearning.
Locking lips like this she couldn't have said "I want you" any clearer than this. she drew it out revelling in her captive audience and kissing partner. tickling Aloys mouth with her tongue.
Aloy loved being held like this. Loving being kissed like this too.
Aloy briefly opened her eyes and noticed people's gaping mouths and stares.
a few were trying hard to look the other way now.
"Mmmmmm." groaned Talanah eyes closed savouring this hot tongue action.
she managed to find the willpower and strength to pull herself away from her impassioned lover.
"Ahem- Uhm Talanah everyone can see us." warned a blushing Aloy.
"I don't care." asserted Talanah kissing Aloy again despite her protestations.
Stealing any self-control Aloy had left. Then she was on her. Pushing her hard against one of the wooden pillars on the lodge balcony. So, the whole lodge had an even clearer view of the two of them. This wonderful girl was all hers. And She wanted to show her off. Make them jealous.
"There's no shame in making out with a beautiful woman." Talanah reminded Aloy
How could Aloy possibly resist her? Talanah pinned her wrists up against the thick pillar.
and gave Aloy another kiss. Open mouth with plenty of tongue.
It was thirsty and demanding but also the kind of deep loving kiss Aloy craved and deserved.
Aloy gave in quickly, easily and happily kissing back with a generous tongue.
Aloy loved kissing with tongue it made her feel so close to her lover.
Talanah let her go of wrists and Talanah's hands quickly found her tangled thatch of hair instead.
Ruffling it and feeling its soft texture. Now they were both intensely openly kissing with tongues out in front of the entire lodge.
Who were all watching with shock, interest and a little bit of envy.
this was not the done thing in the stuffy old lodge. but neither of them cared right now for traditions (not that they ever really had). not caring what anyone thought of them.
nothing else mattered now anyway. not the lodge, not the shadow Carja, not the world.
Only each other.
Talanah was so happy that Aloy was kissing her the way she really wanted to usually in public this passionate smooching was usually reserved for when they were in Talanah's bedroom.
Aloy was always a soft and gentle kisser (just in public that is!) and a quick smooch had her turning crimson with embarrassment at any public display of their affection, not anymore though it seemed. Talanah's hands were still totally lost in that thick red hair, and she completely lost any awareness of time.
Aloy forgot all about her quests, the watching crowds and the endless pressing threat of the corrupted machines.
Talanah switched between making out with her and whispering sweet nothings to her.
"You're all I could think of since you've been gone," she muttered into Aloys ear
before tugging at her top and kissing down her bared shoulder then back up to her lips.
