Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Freya)

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Freya had already pulled off her thick coat and undercoat before even reaching the room. It was warmer down here, so she didn't need them. Entering the room, she tossed them in a neat little pile along with her bag and gloves.

"Hm... I see." She smiled a little, taking her own few steps closer. "Well, I guess I should be thanking you it wasn't more expensive." She raised an eyebrow though, when he gave her that smug look and announced that he wouldn't be giving in to the temptation. After a few moments, she smirk that smirk that always got him to kiss her, her own expression smug. "We'll see how long you last then."

Now it seemed that it'd be a battle to see who could last the longest before finally going to the other for attention. In the case of these two.... It probably wouldn't take that long. One of them would be giving in very soon.

[Rory Ashe]

As she took a few steps closer Rory held his ground, they were very close now, almost touching. Rory didn't give in to his immediate temptation to pick her up and kiss her. "Ay, I let ye pay for a cheap Inn... I thought that was quite nice." Rory said with a grin, making it sound as though he had done her a major favor.

Then she did it, that sly smile of her that drove Rory crazy. She always played that hand when she wanted Rory to fall for her again, and it always worked. His willpower was quickly fading, but he was going to force himself to hold out a bit longer. "Aye, we'll just have to see won't we?" With that, and a glance over Freya, he couldn't stop himself.

As if his arms completely defied what his mind wanted him to do, they reached out and he wrapped them around Freya, pulling her against him. "...Well, that's longer than I usually last" He said with a coy smile and wink. He reached one arm behind Freya and closed the door, before wrapping it around her once again.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

It was funny how long Rory was lasting, but she found feel her own will to keep to herself crumbling as well. Curse this never ending attracting to each other. It was making this near impossible. Her smiling like that might have been a little cheap, since she knew he couldn't resist it, but they hadn't exactly written out rules. Anything was fair in this type of relationship.

"Mmhm. We'll see." It though, Rory's resolve had already crumbled before she even finish speaking, because before she knew it his arms were wrapped tightly around her, like they always seemed to be. "Mmm... Yeah. A little longer then you usually do." She smiled that same smile again as he closed the door.

[Rory Ashe]

Once again Freya was in his arms, but then, she was the only person he wanted to hold. Not to mention whenever they were together she seemed to do anything to have him hold her as well. Such as the Danger Room, she had practically let Rory get beaten just so they would have each others undivided attention. They always played against each other and kept count of "wins", but no matter who won they would always end up in this same position.

"Well, if ye want, I could let ye go and try again." He said, leaning forward to give a soft, teasing kiss. They both knew he wasn't going to let her go now, but he wanted to prove that she wanted this as bad as him. He pulled away only a second after touching her lips, even though he didn't want to. It was amazing the lengths he would go to, to prove a point.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

This wouldn't be the best victory, like the Danger room had been, but at least it was a victory of sorts. It was still a shame that the Danger Room had been cut short like that... And she still wanted to sulk about that perfect, ruined mood. But at least she got to spend who knew how long with just Rory in the Himalayas. How long was it going to take them to to complete the mission? They hadn't been given a time limit. So it seemed, it just might be the two of them for several days.

His teasing kiss wasn't helping her resolve to wait for him to get forceful. How was she ever going to last when he was teasing her like that?! Freya almost seemed to pout a little, smiling softly. "I don't think you'll be able to, now." Especially not after that tease. One of them would crack....

And it was Freya.

As impatient as always, his teasing finally broke the last of her will. She lightly touched his cheek, her fingers tracing his jaw line, before she leaned forwards this time. Her lips found his, a littler rougher then his teasing kiss had been, and far fiercer. She was officially done waiting for him.

[Rory Ashe]

Moments ago Freya looked as though she wanted to hit him, now they were intimately embracing each other. That's how it was though, from their first meeting when Freya slapped him then only days later they had spent hours in the maze kissing. It was something of a love/hate relationship, but there was no true hate. More, it was just a very rough love relationship. They were rough with each other at times, and downright mean at other times, but it was all done in passion.

Rory smiled slightly, she was right. It would have been impossible to let her go now, though he wouldn't fully admit it. "Maybe I could, maybe I could-" Rory wasn't even able to fully finish his sentence when he Freya's touch immediately shut him up. Then suddenly, she was pressing her lips against his, and ferociously at that. Further proving that they were in a "rough" relationship, which neither of them seemed to mind.

As they kissed, Rory matched her ferocity with his own. One moment the kissing had been tender and sweet, not it was the complete opposite. That's why Rory loved Freya, she was always keeping things new and never did the same thing twice. As Rory kissed her he slid his hands down to her waist, then suddenly hooked her behind her knees and lifted her up, though he never paused from the kissing. He staggered forward slightly, unable to see until he suddenly felt he was pushing Freya against the wall while holding her up.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Oh, Freya was still pretty miffed with Rory.... Until they started kissing. When that happened, she just couldn't stay angry with him. It was just a given. And depending on just what mood either of them were in, her distraction level changed. Of course kissing him was always distracting, but when you had your prefect chance ruined several hours before, it left you aching for more, as if having a withdrawal.

She smirked a little against his lips, finding it a little funny that he couldn't even finish what he was saying. Even if she could have pulled away to respond, she wouldn't have. This was far to sweet. His touch sent shivers down her spin, enjoying the sensation. When he scooped her clean off her feet and pressed her against the wall she giggled, breaking the kiss for only a fraction of a second. She smirked at him, her eyes laughing, before returning to his lips.

[Rory Ashe]

Sure, their time may have been interrupted at the Danger Room, but there was no doubt they were making up for it now. In some ways it was better now than it had been at the mansion. At the mansion he was in pain, and bleeding, now he was rested and full of energy. Though, the downside was that they were wearing quite a bit more clothing than at the mansion, namely the shirt Freya had been wearing; which he missed a little. At least he had the girl that was in it though, and the completely made up for it.

When Freya broke the kiss and giggled, Rory couldn't help but give a broad grin. During the short break he positioned his hands lower on her body, to hold her up better, then leaned forward to meet her as they kissed again. After several minutes of passionately kissing, it occurred to him something they hadn't done. "I suppose.... We should... Read... The letter..." Rory said, speaking only when he pulled away for a breath. He had forgotten all about it as soon as the walked into the room. Though, even though he said they should, he neither let Freya down nor stopped kissing her.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

If Freya had known Rory would be missing that shirt so much, she might have packed it, just for him. Of course, as she saw it, that probably wouldn't be the last time she wore the shirt. Especially with Rory's reaction to it. It was great at distracting him.

She tried not to move to much as he help her back against the wall, one of her hands resting on his shoulder to help balance herself, the other still softly touching his face. It made her smile a little that he'd remembered the letter right in the middle of their kissing, and yet he didn't seem at all motivated to actually go through the with the idea of reading it. "Probably..." Like he had, she spoke only when they had to breath, to not disturb their kissing all that much. It wasn't her resolve that would get them to read the letter. He was the one with the letter after all, not to mention he made no motion to set her down so they could read the letter.

[Rory Ashe]

Rory pressed Freya against the wall a bit tighter, though not enough to be uncomfortable. Then he started to kiss her a bit more fiercly, it was very obvious he had no intention of putting her down any time soon. Come to think of it, Freya didn't have to go back to the hotel with Tari, and it wouldn't be smart to leave in the morning until the sun had risen quite a bit. So that meant they could do this is long as they wanted without a single interruption.

Suddenly, as Rory kissed her it started to feel like her skin was getting hotter to the touch. Then he realized it was getting hotter to touch, but he didn't say anything. It added to the sensation for him. Though, he realized he had put his hands in somewhat of a bad place to keep holding her up, so he stepped away from the wall for a moment to adjust his grip on her; never letting her down or stopping the kiss as he did. Abruptly though, his foot hit something and he stumbled a little. Normally he was very graceful, but if he tried to balance himself he would have to drop Freya.

So still holding Freya to keep from dropping or hurting her, he began to fall. Fortunately his back slammed into something soft, which turned out to be his pile of coats, and when he glanced at his feet he saw he had tripped on his pack. He probably should have put it up right, like Freya did. Not that it mattered though, he was just fine, and because he had been holding her up, Freya was now sitting on top of him again. Perhaps they could continue exactly where they left off at the Danger Room. "...I did that on purpose." He said with sheepish grin, his hands now resting on either of Freya's thighs.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

It wasn't that often that Rory or Freya got this rough in their exchanges. Actually, it wasn't often they went with out disturbances after a little while. Here though? There wouldn't be any students or teachers to walk in on them and ruin the mood. Neither of them had to worry about getting back somewhere by a certain time.

If Freya had been aware her body temperature was rising again, she might have stopped it. As it was, she really was preoccupied. Rory probably hadn't noticed in all their exchanges before now, but moments like these had a bigger affect on her then they realized. Her skin would start to get hotter and hotter, how hot was unknown. Right now, she was at a feverish temperature, hence why Rory had caught on.

She ignores much of his shifting around, until she felt him run into something and trip. The kissing was broken temporarily as they landed, Rory flat on his back, cushioned by his pile of coats, and Freya sitting on top of him, straddling him. His words made her laugh a little, softly smiling herself. "That's good to know. Because no way could the Great Rory trip on something." She was teasing him. Sometimes, it was so easy to do.

Smiling even more, she leaned down to kiss in again, softly resting her hands on his chest. It wasn't like their exchange moments before, softer, shorter. When she pulled back she was smiling. "No wonder you just left your coats on the floor. All according to your plan."

[Rory Ashe]

Even after falling, and lying there for a while, Freya didn't get off Rory. She had stayed straddled on him, though Rory didn't mind in the least. In fact, he didn't want her off of him at all. Sure, the fall was annoying and had broken up what they were doing, but he still had Freya in his embrace... More or less, and that was all that mattered. Really, she had him in the embrace, and had him pinned. This was one time that he didn't mind being the one pinned, however.

Rory laughed a bit when Freya spoke, "Exactly! The Great Rory doesn't trip on things, things trip on the Great Rory." He said with a broad grin. Did it make that much sense? No, it didn't, but it did help him with his story that he had intended it. Even though he knew Freya wasn't fooled for a second, it was fun to tease a bit.

It was amazing the different feelings Freya could make him have just through a simple kiss. Moments ago she was driving Rory wild with how fiercly and rough they were, but now the soft kiss completely calmed him down. He had no doubt that Freya had him wrapped around her finger in more ways than even she probably knew. "Yes, it was all part of the plan.. Pretty nifty, eh?" He asked with a smirk, slyly he reached up and grabbed a handful of her shirt, then pulled her down to him again so that he could kiss her.

Like hers, this kiss was much softer, as well as a bit sweeter. It was almost as if Rory was saying how much he truly cared about her, all in a kiss. Not like he would ever be able to say it in words anyways. He did realize though that he was laying on top of the same jacket he had worn up stairs, the same one he put the envelope in. So as held Freya's shirt, continuing the slow kiss, he reached under him with his free hand and pulled out the envelope. He didn't open it yet though, or stop the kiss, he would do it after they stopped.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Things tripped on him? That did not make any sense. Freya just raised an eyebrow, trying to figure out just what that was supposed to mean. After a few moments though, she had to give up. She rolled her eyes then, still smiling. "I have no idea what you just said." It didn't bother her though, Rory said a lot of things she didn't understand. Only this time, at least it'd been in English.

It made her smile a little more when Rory seemed to calm down, quite literally. Before, their kisses had been wild and passionate, as if both of them were starving. Then, it was as if the beast had been soothed. It almost made her laugh, how his mood had changed so quickly, almost as quickly as her mood swings. "Pretty nifty." She repeated, nodding and agreeing with him. It was pretty fun that they had landed on the coats.

Freya almost giggled when Rory pulled her back down to his level to kiss. A somewhat rough action, with soft sweet kisses. In moments like this, no words were needed between them. Rather interesting though, neither of them had verbally expressed how they felt for the other. Guess they were both physical like that.

She could feel him shifting under her a little, but paid it little mind... If only because she couldn't bring her mind to try and figure out why he was moving so much. After a few moments though, she did break the kiss, a questioning look on her face. Looking over, she saw he'd been rescuing the letter from under them. With a small smile, she finally rolled off of him. It was about time they opened it... "Well, let's see what the little snitch wrote."

[Rory Ashe]

Rory had to admit, his statement made very little sense to him either. In fact, it was almost confusing, of course, he wouldn't admit that it was that bad; only that it was dumb. "Me either, really... It made more sense me mind." It had, before he spoke he thought it sounded witty. After it came out though, he realized that it wasn't so much. Freya didn't seemed to bothered by it though, and Rory didn't care, so it didn't really matter.

If only Freya knew how much she could do to Rory without even trying. Sure, she knew a few tricks to toy with Rory, but there were so many other things that greatly affected him and he was sure she didn't intend them to. Such as something as simple as a kiss making Rory respond so differently. Though, over the month or so that they had been together, Rory had noticed that there were at least a few things he did that had the same affect on Freya. It was just she knew how to use them better.

When she did break the kiss, Rory sighed slightly, and looked a little disappointed when she rolled off of him. There were priorities though, and what this letter said was one of them, "As ye command." He said teasingly, with a slight wink. He sat up and leaned his back against the bed, still laying down mostly, and wripped open the envelope.

Three pictures fell onto his lap, one looked like a picture of a building covered in snow, and the other two were mug shots of a man and a woman. Rory hadn't even noticed the pictures though, instead he reached into the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper. It looked like a post-it note and had very little writing on it. Rory shook his head as he read it and his expression grew concerned, "According to this, Xavier was wrong. Cain was never here, this says something about a couple of people that work for him as intelligence or something... They're the ones on the mountain... It also has some coordinates for some location, looks like latitude and longitude."

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Freya's interest wasn't in the little note they'd been given, her attention went to the three pictures. Quickly she scooped them up. The building was probably higher up in the mountains. The mug shots weren't as interesting, just two seeming normal people. But obviously they must be the targets... Wait a minute! Hadn't they come for Cain?! Great...

She sighed after he read the note. "Well, if you can't take out the head, go for the limbs." She shrugged softly. If they could get these people, Cain would be crippled a little. Not to mention... They'd know where Cain was holed up, along with other secrets. "It may not be Cain, but this is just as promising. Even better then Cain, actually." Cain wouldn't be easy to take down, even for Freya. Especially in a climate like this where she would be severely restricted. "The more we can learn about him from them, the faster he'll go down."
