The Pressures of Society

"I'm happy to hear that you and Andrika have reunited. I'm looking forward to meeting her," expressed Lyra, enjoying the sensation of Will combing through her hair with his fingers as she enjoyed his lap pillow. She had become even busier since graduating, so whenever they met in private, Will helped to recharge her batteries by doting on her.

"Introducing her to too many people at once might overwhelm her," said Will. "But she'll be staying with us from when I return to when I leave for morning training. You can drop by at any time between."

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind..." muttered Lyra, inhaling deeply as Will used the fingers of his right hand to gently massage her throat. She felt they should be doing much more, but since she had already waited more than two years and Will hadn't crossed the line with anyone, she didn't let it bother her too much.
