pressed against me I can feel his excitement

We left the stable, now airborn. I'm sitting between his thighs, my legs bare for him to see, the cold air causing my legs to tingle. I can see the goosebumps on them.

See. Marcy. The his is why I prefer pants.

His center was hot pressing on my back. His breath warm and wet in my ears.

"You're pretty good at this whole flying thing"

His voice caressing my ear making it hard for me to focus. I lean back hoping to get a bit more of his warmth. He moves his hand from waist to just at my hem line above my thigh. Fingers dangerously close to my sensitive spots. Feeling flushed but grateful for the warmth I let him keep his hand there. He doesn't push it. But a part of me wish he had.

I yell back to him, "yeah I've been flying since I was practically walking" I was telling him "value here was my first flight, she's my brother Aldreics favorite. He took me on their rides." His thumb now running the inside of my thigh. Feeling the heat wave start from my neck and roll down to where his hand was. Pressing my butt to his pants, I can feel the length of him. Growing larger with each passing moment. His excitement was evident. Woah.

"It sounds like you and your family are pretty close" he said pulling my attention away from his lingering hand.

"Yeah, you can't always tell looking in from the outside, but we are pretty close." And then she asked "what about your family, are you guys close?"

"We're close, mostly. My brothers and I have different mothers." He replied "Talon and Terrance are good older brothers, but their mom died not long after giving birth to Terrance."

You could hear a sort of sadness in his voice, leaning into me now "she was kind and gentle, I've been told, I know her death was a huge loss to my people. She like many of my people developed a blood disease from the rot that's spreading from the south".

"Not long after that my father KingJerard met my mother" he continued "she was high born but no where near the same status as his first wife. Genevieve. But he loves my mother, and so do my brothers since she practically raised them"

The Rot. The rot had taken his brothers mom.

We don't have that problem here yet, but we aren't a border clan like Theos clan was.

Starting to descend they left that conversation in the clouds.

***

As Valie find her landing spot, they hit the ground with a thud. Sending them both lurching forward. Including his hand. She gasps as his hand was now practically under her, stunned neither could move for a second.

"Oh" Theo said with a sharp inhale. "Shit im sorry" pulling his hand away Orion felt a longing for his warm hand.

"It was an accident, I'm not dressed for a ride" she said, "let's focus on food I'm starving."

They sit for a while laughing and getting along.
