[He did his best not to make a sound at feeling her touch his wings. He forces himself to relax, letting out a shaky breath. He bites his bottom lip to keep quiet.]
[She tilted her head and continued on her exploration. These scarred wings, so strong, as the male is. She loved his reaction.]
Yeah? Iโll be careful, Cas
[He tensed up immediately, his wings twitching under her touch. He bit back a noise between a grunt and something he didnโt want to admit.]
E-Easy there, sweetpea.
[So hard. She was in awe. Cassian is letting her /touch/ his back. This is crazy. She grinned at his warning. Gentle hands moved to his wings.] oh, if you insist
He was hyper focused on her movements, judt barely dodging the potential blow to his abdomen.
โNice shot.โ He said, with no teasing tone. It was genuine praise.
Then came the smirk.
โTry again.โ
she clicked her tongue in his direction, all the fun leaving while her competitive side peeked out.
Gwyneth took advantage of her elasticity and attacked throwing a fist to distract him and then giving a turn she kicked his stomach.
โIs that a yes?โ She whispered after hearing his sigh. And yes it is! She almost squealed in happiness but held it in.
Sheโs getting a massage!
Leaned back to watch him work. โOh yeah, that feels so good.โ She said breathless.
Cassian froze, one hand still hovering over the fallen bowl as he slowly turned his head toward her.
His eyebrows rose.
โExcuse you. For the record, if my head had fallen, you would have heard considerably more cursing.โ
โ
just as she saunters into the kitchen. perfect timing.ใ pity it wasnโt your head that fell. ใ
a snicker followed, as she casually opens the fridge to reach for an apple.

@belleillyrian โFive more minutes my ass. Come on, or Iโm dragging you out in your pajamas.โ
He wouldnโt of course, but the threat still stands.
โVery well.โ
The amusement vanished from his eyes and face, settling into a battle forged focus.
And he moved, quickly towards her, tearing her defenses. Seeing how she would respond.
โAnd let you observe all my movements so soon? No, thank you. As you are the โmasterโ I will let you start.โ she raised an eyebrow in his direction, with a haughty attitude.
โare too slow to notice are missing.โ
Cassian leaned in just enough to return the challenge, close enough that neither of them had to raise their voices.
โYou collect secrets. I collectโโฆthings. Fortunately for both of us, I donโt think either collection is growing tonight.โ
Cassian held his ground, not yielding an inch as Slaine closed the distance. The scent reached him first, but all it earned was the faint twitch of an amused smile.
His eyes met the spymasterโs without hesitation.
โThatโs a very elegant way of saying you steal things peopleโ
I let my gaze drag over him with lazy consideration.
"Steal?"
My mouth curved.
"Rude. I am a spymaster, Cassian, not a thief. I do not steal, I collect what people are foolish enough to leave exposed. Secrets, weaknesses, loyalties, the occasional inconvenient truth..." +
