"Hey, Darguni... want to have some fun?"
He licked his lips. "Hey, Quinn..." His eyes tracked away. "Uh, yeah, not today." Jogging off, he caught up with Lydia.
Quinn stood there and blinked. She had to tell somebody.
"Did you talk to mom?"
"Yeah..." Lydia sighed and brushed her hair out of her face. "She's willing to let me practice with her, but no more than the usual schedule. She'll let me do the weapon tattoo, but my dumb self left it at training yesterday. I have to retrieve it."
"I'll go with you."
"Thanks." She sighed. "Now, I have to figure out what I really want to do with myself."
"Anything you want, we'll support you." He put his hands behind his head.
"I feel dumb."
"Why?"
"Because all I want to do is sing and look pretty."
He chuckled. "Well, you've got the pretty part down... and your singing is amazing..."
With a giggle, she grinned at him. "You have any idea how long I've wanted to hear you call me pretty?"
"Yeah, well..." He blushed. "I had to come to the realization that you could BE pretty." He stuck his tongue out.
Without thinking, she stood on her toes and captured his tongue with her lips. He blinked at her, before wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing into the kiss.
"Can't you two keep your hands off each other for five minutes?"
Darguni jerked back. "Dad!"
Grogek shook his head. "You are so your mother."
Lydia blushed. "I... I need my staff." She scooted away.
Jordan was currently reaming Bradly, but Lydia ignored them and poked through the weapon racks. "Sir? Where's my staff?" She bit her lip.
"Bradly broke it."
Her eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open.
Jordan put the two pieces in her hands. "That's why you should maintain your weapon at home, and not leave it with the training gear!"
Holding a piece in each hand, she looked back and forth. "You..."
"Sweetheart, it was an accident... I fell..."
"YOU BROKE MY STAFF?" She shrieked.
"Oh, shit." He held up his hands. "I didn't mean to, it was just a silly accident."
Jordan crossed his arms. "If you'd been listening, and not dicking around, you wouldn't have even had the staff in your hand."
She shot out at him, swinging both parts of the staff. "YOU STUPID ASS! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I OWN!"
"Shit, shit, shit." Bradly tried with some desperation to block her attacks.
"Fight her back!" Jordan called.
"But, I can't... she's..."
"Don't pull that "girl" shit on me. Don't even try the "girlfriend" excuse. When you are being attacked by an opponent, your end goal is to BRING THEM DOWN! If you can't bring down your completely enraged girlfriend, then how are you going to fight in an actual battle?"
Bradly summoned his sword. "FINE!"
Elunara just stood on the platform, staring. "Where the hell did this come from?"
Darguni winced. "Bradly broke her staff."
"Oof."
"Gods, Lydia! I'm sorry! It was a complete accident! I shouldn't have picked it up."
By this point, she wasn't listening, she was just attacking. He tried several times to take her down, but she was lighter and quicker than him. She dodged under him effortlessly, and went for the attack. She cracked him in the back of the head hard enough, that she knocked him out. Holding up her pieces, she went to attack his prone form.
Darguni dove in, taking the hit for his brother.
Lydia blinked down at the pair of them. "What the... what?" She dropped the pieces and held her head. "What have I done?" Her fingers raked through her hair.
"Well, that's going to bruise." He winced. She backed away, before turning to run. His hand shot out and grabbed her by the wrist. "Not a chance, sweet pea."
"What the HELL was THAT?" Elunara dropped down into the ring.
Jordan cocked his head to the side. "If you came to training more often, we could harness that."
"I don't WANT to harness... whatever it is I just did! I just want to be a singer!" Tears ran down her cheeks.
"Move, big brother."
Darguni shifted off of Bradly, but refused to release his hold on Lydia.
Elunara ran her healing energy over Bradly.
"Gods, is he ok?" Lydia whimpered.
"He'll be fine. He'll just have a nasty headache."
"I was just so angry." She whispered. "You can let go, I'm not going to run."
He released his grip on her arm and frowned. "Shit, I'm sorry."
She stared at the bruises on her wrist. "I guess that's the least of my worries."
"Ugh, my head."
"Bradly! Bradly, I'm so sorry!" Lydia scooted closer. "I don't know what came over me."
"Gods, you fight like my mother." He put his hands on his head.
"I think we should put you in personal training." Jordan nodded.
"NO! NO! I REFUSE!" She scrambled up and ran.
Darguni sighed. "She was coming down here to quit." He jogged after her.
Jordan ran his tongue over his teeth. "If we don't train that, she could be a danger to someone the next time she loses her marbles."
"I agree. Help me get Bradly home."
Darguni found her at the top of the hill, crying. "Baby..."
"Leave me alone, I'll just hurt you too." She tugged her legs up and wrapped her arms around them.
"Beauty, I'm made of tougher stuff. Yeah, I'm probably going to have a nasty bruise on my side, but meh." He sat down and tugged her into his lap. "It's ok."
"No, it's not." Curling up in his lap, she sighed. "I don't WANT personal training."
"I'll never make you do something you don't want."
"Everyone's going to be afraid of me now."
He chuckled. "They were afraid of mother at first... now look at them." Sliding his finger under her chin, he brushed his lips across hers. "Besides, I'll never be afraid of you." His face hovered mere inches above hers. "I'm usually afraid of hurting you."
"But, you don't." She whispered.
He pressed his mouth to hers, as his fingers buried in her hair. Her hands went up around his neck and she lost herself in the expert skill of his mouth. Pressing her backwards, he laid her in the soft grass. His hands went up her shirt and his fingers caressed her breasts. Tugging the shit off, he licked her chest. She writhed under him. Again his hands roamed, and he tugged her skirt off. She lay there in the soft grass, her face flush, and her hands against her chest.
"Open up for me, my love." He whispered.
She spread her legs apart.
"Not just that." He tugged her arms up, and wrapped them around his neck. "Like this." He pressed his mouth to hers and danced his lips, taking his advantage when he could. After enjoying the flavor of her mouth, the feel of her skin in his hands, he tugged himself free of his pants and slipped in, inch by glorious inch.
She gasped and clung to him, groaning as he began to move in and out. Her legs came up and rubbed against his soft sides.
"Come for me, Baby." He whispered. "I want to feel you."
Her fingernails dug streaks down his back, as she began to shiver. When she clamped down on him, he released himself with a groan.
He sat with her in his lap, as he licked her neck, he fondled her breasts. "I'm going to say something stupid."
"Everyone keeps reminding me of the family rules." She rolled her eyes.
"I love your breasts. They're so large and perfect for my hands. Everyone else has such small ones, barely any fun."
Blinking, she laughed. "I'll be damned."
He slid his hand down her belly, through her soft curls and to the slick folds below. Pressing a finger in, her gave her a playful growl. "In fact, it's amazing how well we fit together."
She gasped and jerked against him.
