When Rhaedalyn reached for his face, R’nya leaned into the touch gently, watching her expression with curiosity and interest, delighting in the way she met his own gaze boldly. He’d watched her grow into herself wonderfully since that first awkward young woman he had met so many years ago. She may not have been aware of it, or even agreed, but R’nya was proud of the way she’d blossomed into herself; she still had moments of insecurities – didn’t they all – but it was the moments like the one where she met his eye and spoke so seriously that truly thrilled him, when she could meet his eye with her own determined gaze and speak her mind. It was moments that proved that despite the hardships she’d gone through, she was so much more.
Echoing her movement, R’nya brought his free hand out to gently cup Rhaedalyn’s cheek, brushing his thumb lightly against her cheekbone, expression soft, though stormy blue eyes widened when Rhaedalyn spoke, not expecting her to be so forthright, despite the forewarning she had given with her eye and physical contact. Lips parted, half in surprise and half to reply to Rhaedalyn, when they were instead captured in a kiss. Eyes widened almost comically before closing as he quickly responded, not wanting to give his lovely lady so much as a moment to question himself or his interest in her.
When he thought he felt Rhaedalyn’s confidence wane, R’nya gently took control of the kiss, easing Rhaedalyn onto her back to be more comfortable, with his own body half covering hers. Gently untangling their hands, R’nya broke the kiss for a moment, using the pause to simply smile placidly down at Rhaedalyn before he kissed the tip of Rhaedalyn’s nose, her eyelids, before returning to her lips with refreshed affection. It wasn’t the first time they’d lingered after a flight, but R’nya felt more hopeful that this time it wouldn’t be simply brushed under the rug once clothing was once more donned.
Leaving Rhaedalyn’s lips, R’nya kissed her jawline below the left ear, murmuring softly “I like where you are, too.” Resting his forehead against Rhaedalyn’s, R’nya brushed his thumb across her lips, entranced by the fact that she wasn’t fleeing or sending him packing; a wonderful change in direction from such a shocking day. Smiling warmly, in no rush, and with every intention to make every moment enjoyable for them both, R’nya began a slow and gentle exploration of Rhaedalyn’s body, affectionate grey eyes watching for her reactions, and those things she seemed to enjoy more, a small smile lingering on his lips.
