It's My Turn
"A good reason to stay alive then? You are giving me everything and I shall give you nothing less. If you betray me, then I will hunt you down and make you regret it.... I hope the feeling is mutual."
Mevia's heart had been pounding, but steady. Except, when the threat came. She had just betrayed the Enclave, and now he was telling her not to betray him? And yet, the tone sounded different than a threat at all. She realized that even in that, he was telling her that he was intent on giving her his word and trust.
Surely, he was not displaying any red flags right now.
But he shook his head a moment later, certain that she was far from a hypocrite.
"One day, the descends of those who call you a traitor now, shall call you a hero to the mandalorian cause."
Mevia paused. It didn't make her feel any better, but it still assured her that in his eyes, she was right. They were right. And the prospect of a united Mandalorian culture, where she and Elise were on the same side once more, filled her with hope.
"I accept the trust you place in me, and I shall protect you, you too shall have the protection of my vod."
He smirked for a moment, then added.
"Should you prove yourself to be worthy of course"
Mevia smirked in response, applying a slightly stronger grip on his shoulder to quickly remind him of the strength that made him recruit her. She would be more than worthy, she would be legendary. She opened her mouth, to give him a confident response as such, but his next actions stopped her. Once again, he moved his hands across her. Mevia's heart pounded even harder as her blush grew once more. His fingers pulled at the back of her shirt, trying to feel for her bare back. She stiffened, suddenly self conscious of the fact that they were in a public bar. She turned her head to get a look around, to see if she should be embarrassed or not, but his firm grip on her chin pulled her head back to face him. She gulped, feeling strangely nervous, even as he placed his forehead against her's. Her eyes darted around them, she tried to stammer that they were standing in a public area, and that she did not know him enough to go this far. But he dominated the situation, something she had mixed feelings over, and spoke again.
"I can't promise you it will be easy, that would be boring anyway. But I can promise that if uncertainty is something you fear, then I shall be very clear with you."
He breath was on her face. Her breathing stilled. Her eyes settled on his as he leaned closer. She did not shy away, she could not. And she did not know if it was simply the force of his prowess keeping her, or if it was her genuine desire.
"Welcome to the Death's Hand, my vod, my Mesh'la."
His lips pressed against her's. Mevia's red eyes flew wide, standing completely still. Her lips were limp, letting him control everything about the kiss as he grew more passionate by the second. She stood there, her grip on his shoulder completely lost, as she struggled to even process what was happening for several long seconds.
"Mesh'la!..."
Did he really mean it? He wasn't toying with her like Emam had, wasn't he? He genuinely wanted her, genuinely thought she was a strong warrior worth recruiting. But a... partner? He knew a lot about her already, but she knew nothing about him. Could she even consider it? She certainly wanted to. She blinked, as her own presence began to return to her, as he continued to press his lips aggressively against her's. Her eyes drooped, as she made her first attempt at actually returning it. She wanted to know... what it was like...
She closed her eyes, humming. She had long forgotten about where they were, and was becoming enamored by Caesar's every move. He had his head start in controlling the kiss, but Mevia was also an aggressive sort. She gripped his shoulder again, pulling him closer still. Her other arm wrapped around his back, gripping his thigh, as she pressed forward as if in a blade lock. In a battle of physical strength, she tried to push him into the looser position she had been in moments prior, gaining her own dominance. And if he fought back, well, it only added to the absolute exhilaration she was experiencing.
Eventually, she ran out of air. Whether or not she won, she had to break away. She pulled away from his embrace, pushing him back as she panted as if she had just ran laps in the Si'kayha training yards. She gasped for air, steadily regaining her breathing. Eventually, the blushing Chiss looked to Caesar and dared to ask.
"What are we?"
She hugged herself, visible fear in her eyes as she looked away. Realizing that this entire scene had played out in a pub, she blushed even more. Looking back at him, her longing was evident as she stepped closer once more. Foregoing her self consciousness, she reached for his chest.
"Does your loyalty to my place at your side extend to my place at your side?"
Her eyes begged him to say yes. Her expression begged him to say that he saw her as more than some fling. Despite the circumstances, despite this only being their third meeting, she wanted something deeper. Would it remain to be seen? Or was he already certain that she was the one?
