"Ahhh such confidence that you would simply let me win?", she smiled more, as she continued to circle him. Her eyes fell over his back, the strength of it apparent as she muscles readied for the fight.

As Coci approached his left flank, she summon the force to her arm and through to her hand before quick steps moved forward and she struck. Her purple blade arcing toward his back at waist height. Knowing he would sense this move, as now they are eternally linked. However, this man she has never crossed blades with before tonight and so it would be a challenge regardless.

"Or are you hiding a weakness .. Heavenshield", she was employing a method some use in fighting with sabers, but he would know of her jest.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He spun around to face her, parrying her move as their sabers crossed. Blue versus purple lit up the forest clearing, and he took a step back. Then he lunged at her, crossing blades with her. Their faces only inches away, he gazed into her eyes moments before he closed in to kiss her lips hard. It was exhilarating, to display such loving acts amidst the heat of a duel, and hopefully it'd take her by such surprise she'd be left open for attack.

"You are both my strength and weakness", he teased as their lips parted ways.

The kiss had surprised her, but only increased her love of the duel. She gave Thurion a look of approval for the clever move.

Two more strikes left to right as their blades crackled and hissed loud in the clearing. Coci moved in, her feet skipping one behind the other as she blade bunted his hard and through the force with pushed him, hoping to off balance him just a little.

She smiled, "That kiss I want more of", she teased now. In a dummy move her purple blade came around to strike to the arm on the right, however her foot moved forward between his legs and hooked back around to the back of his knee, hoping to drop him to the ground. Not a hard strike to the back of the knee, it is not needed, even in battle.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He couldn't help but feign losing his balance due to her moves, and so he fell over backwards as she tripped him, but not before he reached out and pulled her down with him in the fall. He landed on the soft bed of mosses, arms around Coci as she fell on top of him so as to keep her from getting hurt in the process, despite the lack of danger. That, and he wanted her close. As close as possible.

Now on the ground, Thurion looked up into Coci's eyes and smiled wickedly. "You have me now, she-wolf. I yield..." he teased further as his hands traced her curves down to her hips.

She pushed off the ground with her hands placed on either side of his head. Coci moved her body up on to all fours over him. "She-wolf?", she looked down into his face, doing a feign of her own showing a face of insult. "Such insolence", she could not help but smile, even though she tried too hide it.

"You do not fight fair, and in so doing, you have forfeit your 'spoils' for reward", she said as she pushed up and stood over him. She turned and began to walk toward the pool. Coci disappeared behind a clump of giant ferns, the only indication of her presence there the discarded underwear which now flew in the air and landed on the ground in the clearing.

Moments later, her silhouette could be viewed walking into the shallows. Coci waded in to waist level before she dived into the cool water. The water washed away all the blood and sweat from the chase, rippling over her skin as she glided under the crystal clear water. As she broke the surface, her hair floated around her, only her head exposed.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

As she appeared and stepped into the pool of water, Thurion rose to his feet and began unbuckling his belt and slipped out of what clothing he had left. He then stepped towards the pool, feeling the soft, damp mosses beneath his feet coupled with smooth rocks and twigs. One foot after the other he delved into the pool, quickly submerging himself in its dark waters reaching up to his chest.

It was warmer than expected, in part due to Coci's presence alone. He moved up against her, embracing her as his lips soon found one of her cuts she'd sustained during their chase, on her upper arm. Cleansed by the pool, he started to very carefully kiss her wound, lightly on the surface. His lips then wandered up her arm and across her shoulder past her collar bone, up along her neck until he reached her soft lips.

Coci closed her eyes as his lips traveled over her body. She turned to face him embracing him close to her as she returned his kiss.

The pool shrouded in the dark of night and the soft mist which rose up out of the water, covered them. For any one that was to look upon the scene would see nothing but two outlines moving together as one.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

Both of them exhausted and messy from their time spent outside, the door to her cabin was swung open. Inside stepped a barely dressed Thurion carrying an ever less clothes-wearing Coci in his arms. On their way back they'd gathered up what articles of clothing they could find, but it was far from all of them. When the daylight hours were upon them, they would go out in search for more, no doubt.

For now, however, Thurion would carry her to her bedroom, making sure not to wake Nina on the way. The room was miniscule in scale, but rich in contents; many decorations both on walls and nightstands, with a lovely-looking bed at the centre. Without thinking about it he tossed her onto the sheets. They'd made sure to take a bath in the woodland pool once more to rid themselves of what dirt they'd contracted, but even so she would probably have to change her sheets in the morning.

He collapsed beside her on the bed, tired but extremely satisfied by the night's carnal pleasures. They were now closer to eachother than ever before, and for every moment spent together their love increased. He was hers, and she was his; body, mind, and soul. Lying on his back he turned his head to the side to look over at his lover, a hand reaching to clumsily caress her cheek. "By the Force, I love you", he whispered, a weary smile constantly on his face. "But let's not do that again for a while..." he smirked. "Some of us has to regain their stamina."

She was trying to find words that would describe Thurion as she carried her back to the house. Her eyes looking over his face, tired but happy. Much lays behind those brilliant blue eyes, that very few would know, if any. Except her. Extraordinary, gentle, powerful, graceful, those and many more words she could use and all of them and more would apply. She felt the cold now, now that her body had cooled from the nights pleasures and she cradled within his arms to drink his warmth.

Through the door and to the bed room he placed her on the bed, she laughed at his throwing her there but no energy would be left to do more then sleep. Their bodies still held the signs of the night, the caked mud and bits of forest entwined within their hair. But this is the happiest Coci had ever known.

She moved across to the other side to give Thurion room to lay next to her. The covers pulled over her body to warm and place them beneath to feel the comforts of each others bodily warmth and drift to the realm of dreams.

"Come and sleep with me here on the bed, and I will hold you in arms that love you more then I could give voice to", she said as she looked at the man she loves. "We do not have long before Nina will awake and there is much to do for her, I want to show her the berries of the forest".

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He moved to nuzzle into his beloved, planting his lips upon hers before nestling his head into her chest, above her heart. The rise and fall of her breathing cradled him to a much needed and well-deserved sleep. The softness of her and the warmth of the sheets and covers made it a heavenly experience.

Sleep quickly took them. That perfect warmth enveloped them as well as they did with each other. Although she is fatigued Coci did not sleep deeply, the stirrings of the day had began and the light of day would soon approach. Already outside in the forest the avian creatures awoke and began their morning praise to the Sun, their song crisp on the morning air. The living force pulsed and sent its message to all things to stir, and so to did Nina. Although the girl had not awoken fully, Coci sensed that she would soon look for her father.

It was four of the best hours of Coci's life. Here under the covers, entwined with him. Her breathing deepened as her eyes opened. The scent of his hair filling her sense immediately and his warm breath she could feel on her skin. She lay there for a moment just taking in the time as soon it would end.

Coci looked down into his face, peaceful and kind. Her hand reached to his face and gently traced along his jaw line playing among the hair of his beard. She would wake him gently as she sensed Nina would soon open her eyes to the day. The softest words fell from her mind into his, as gentle as the whispering breeze issuing through the open window.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Sonnet 18 - Shakespeare

She placed a kiss on his lips.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He could hear her words within his mind, reciting poetry of the gentlest kind there was. In truth he was surprised to learn she was a student of such an art form, but it was a pleasant surprise. Once she'd finished the faintest of weary smiles appeared on his lips, briefly before she placed her own against his. He tried to return the kiss as best he could, but fatigue still had him in its grip, unfortunately. It did manage to wake him up somewhat, and with a deep breath he opened his tired eyes, squinting at the light of day as he was met with the most beautiful of sights.

"Mmm... morning..." he managed as his embrace of Coci tightened, feeling his strength recovering quickly. "You're a sight for sore eyes."

She lay enjoying his embrace, the warmth of the day filtering into the room and the curtains fluttered on the soft breeze. "Good morning to you my love", she whispered, as she rested her cheek on top of his head. Her hands moved gently over his back, working in a motion to sooth the body.

"I have a fresh shirt for you, the one I borrowed from you, it is there for you if you wish it", she said. Her head turned to look out the window and smiled. The forest would be in all it's glory this morning and she wanted to show them both.

"I will arise soon and prepare breakfast, I hope Nina will come with me into the forest to collect it?, do you think she would?".

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He wouldn't let her go just yet, and instead he rolled over on his back and pulled her on top of him, their naked bodies connecting from top to toe beneath the covers. A hand brushed away some hair from her beautiful face, and he smiled. "Not yet", he whispered.

Their lips met once more, full of passion and love. He inhaled her sweet scent and relished the taste of her soft lips. He wanted her, all of her.

She laughed as Thurion pulled her over him. His kiss showing her his feelings once more and so she returned them equally. Her hand moved up to his face and held him gently as her shoulder blades pushed inward.

"Not yet?", she whispered between caressing touches of her lips on his. Then her back arched to look down into his handsome face with a smile. "Master Jedi what more do you want?", she asked knowing the answer well enough. But she also knew they would not have time and he knew it. Then in a sudden move, Coci pushed off the bed. She stood and stretched to fatigue from her body, and walked the door leading into a bathroom.

She turned back to look once more over him, "I need a shower", she said as her head turned with a smile.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He watched her as she stretched, enticed by every part of her; every movement she made, every muscle in her body forming such perfection. When she stepped into the bathroom, he would continue watching her as she did. After a few moments the sound of running water was heard, and he crawled out of bed to join her.

The shower took longer then expected. However, they both emerged minus the dirt and grim of the previous day. Coci had dried and dressed in her white linen dress. She gathered the white shirt for Thurion and placed it on the bed for him.

She walked to the window and looked out on the day. The sun had climbed over the tops of the trees and now shined down upon them. Coci ran her fingers through her hair to dry it naturally. She could hear Thurion behind her and turned to look at him. She face held a smile.

"I shall go to the kitchen now, and this time I will make it". she jested.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

He pulled her in for a last kiss before she left for the kitchen. "Fine, fine..." he said, acting disgruntled at her leaving, a sly smirk showing on his face as he watched her curves walk out the room, wearing nothing but her white dress, more resembling a less-than modest nightgown. He then turned to the bed, noticing his shirt on it. Luckily his pants from yesterday were still intact, and so he got dressed. With all that had been going on since the two left for the woods last night, wearing clothes made for an odd feeling, slightly so.

Once somewhat presentable he stepped out into the living room and made it to the kitchen where Coci was already in the act of making them breakfast. Again he came up from behind to put his arms around her and kiss her neck, inhaling her sweet scent once again. He loved the way she smelled in the mornings - there was something so naturally beautiful about her fragrance that he couldn't get enough of. But the cuddling didn't last for long, as he felt obligated to go make sure Nina had slept well. "I'll go see if Nina's awake", he said softly, reluctantly letting go of her as he made it to the guestroom where Nina had spent the night.

There she was, still asleep and breathing softly; she had always been a quiet sleeper, not surprising taking her being mute into account. He tip-toed over to her bedside and knelt down, caressing her white hair with the back of his hand, then doing the same to her puffy cheek. Her delicate lips formed a weary smile as she stirred, and slowly she opened her eyes to meet the gaze of her father, and immediately put her arms around him to feel him being close. As Thurion was about to carry her up and out of the bed and into the kitchen, she lingered for a moment before finding what she was looking for. It was the glass sculpture Coci had been her, and she had taken it with her to bed.

With a kiss upon her forehead, father and daughter emerged from the room.

It was one of those treasured moments. As he moved up behind her and placed his arms around her, she turned her head to find his hair, she loves the feel of it against her cheek. It is these moments that live in the heart. But all to soon he had to go.

Coci had already prepared most of the breakfast, she had mixed some cereals in a large bowl and placed it on the table, with blue milk and breads. The Caf pot brewed for her, as she can not begin the day without it. There was only one thing left to gather before she would sit to partake of the meal.

As Thurion and Nina came back to the main room, Coci gathered up a basket and went to the door, "Come with me", she said to him and with a good morning smile toward Nina. The little girl looked far more alive and full of energy then they, having had a full night sleep.

She walked out the door and turned to the right, to the side of the house is a small garden and there they will pick berries and fruits for the morning meal. Coci went to a berry bush and crouched down to begin, one large berry was plucked and popped into her mouth.

 

[Thurion Heavenshield]

As they walked outside into the garden, Nina tugged gently at his father's shirt. He rubbed his nose against hers before lowering her onto the ground, her bare feet touching the soft grass. Her hand sought his as they followed Coci, at first just watching her pick the berries and putting them in the basket. She then turned her head to look up at her father, who smiled and nodded in return. Without any words between the two she let go of his hand and pattered up to Coci, eyes wide with wonder and amazement.

She reached out to grab hold of Coci's white dress, and as the woman turned to look down at the little girl she managed a nervous smile before nuzzling her face into her side. Thurion watched the two interact, and before long Nina was helping Coci to pick the berries and put them in the basket. He soon moved to join them, kneeling beside them both. With the three of them helping eachother, the basket was soon filled to the brim, even with all the ones that ended up in their hungry mouths rather than the basket.
