Nodding to her words, Zachariel knew she spoke the truth. He had seen the shock of
Ivixa Nera'kas
upon seeing Ingrid flirting with him, had seen how it surprised her. No doubt most in the Empire were similar, with no idea what Ingrid was truly like. Thus, there was an appreciation on Zachariel's face, at the candor of Ingrid between them.
At her next words, he lets out an appreciative rumble, chuckle low. As he responds, his voice is just as flirtatious and purr.
"
Perhaps I shall, I'm sure they'll be lookers if your current attire is any indication."
Not moving under her gentle strokes, Zachariel's grin remained strong as his gaze never left her. As she bites her lip, Zachariel is drawn closer, grin morphing into a smirk as he's lost in her expression. He was about to lean closer when she spoke once more. Her words bring him up short, stopping him as he thinks.
Leaning forward quickly, Zachariel gives Ingrid a quick peck on the lips, deciding to have that fun while he still can. Then he leans back, a smirk on his face, before he lets out a breath. Pulling his head back, Zachariel puts his head on her thigh, head tilted to continue gazing into Ingrid's eyes.
"
As... fun as that sounds..." His hand traces along her thigh, calmly caressing her as he continues. "
I don't think you or I want that, just a way to let loose and have fun outside of work."
Giving her thigh a kiss as well, Zachariel's chuckle shakes Ingrid a bit, even as he lifts his head once more to her. Eyes still looking into her own, Zachariel smiles genuinely.
"
However, I wouldn't be opposed to more personal fun." Chuckling, Zachariel's eyes hold a gleam in them, one of the flirtatious and adventurous kind. His head is leaning forward once more, a smile still on his face. "
And who knows what the future may hold."
