Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Freya)

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

It was a shame Tari wasn't here, she'd love it. The cold didn't bother Tari at all! Just like heat didn't bother Freya. The only problem being Tari wasn't as involved with the school like Freya was these days... Seeing as she spent most of her time there...

Freya sighed a little, shrugging when he returned the question. "I'm fine, just a few scraps and bumps is all." She wasn't the one that fell off a freaking cliff after all. Shouldn't his injuries be worse then that..... Realization hit. "You died during that Avalanche... Didn't you?" Her expression was hard to read. She wasn't sure if she should be upset he'd died, or relieved that he hadn't pushed his luck and permanently died.

Finally, Freya had it. She rolled onto her hands and knees, crawling over to where Rory lay, topless again. Slowly, she leaned down, softly kissing his cheek, if only because kissing him on the lips would mean losing the second round..

[Rory Ashe]

Rory really did feel better when she explained that she wasn't really hurt. Though he had assumed she was okay because she hadn't been nursing anything that he could notice and had been teasing him since they got in the tent, hurt people don't usually do that. Then she asked the question and had apparently put two and two together. While Rory didn't know exactly if he had died, he didn't remember blacking out for a moment before he hit the ground. If that was the case if would explain why he had minor wounds because all the major ones had been healed after he died.

"Psh... I'm fine." He said awkwardly, completely avoiding answering the question. Though he hoped he had done it slyly enough that she wouldn't persist. He didn't want her to be upset, besides, he was here now. Shouldn't that be all that mattered?

Then he heard a movement from Freya and when he turned to see her crawling to him, he immediately wanted to meet her halfway and kiss her. Apparently she had the same though in mind because she had kissed him on the cheek as soon as she got to him. Instinctively a hand reached behind her head and began to pull her down for a real kiss, but he stopped just before their lips touched. "No! I ain't fallin for it! Ye, almost had me lass, almost." He said with a laugh, feeling as if he was going insane from not kissing her. He folded his arms and rolled over so that he couldn't see her, he knew if he saw her sulking again with those puppy dog eyes he would lose instantly.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Freya fixed him with a 'that didn't answer my question', sort of look. But, since he was avoiding the question.... It meant he must have. At least she didn't have to go through the same sort of 'trauma' as his first death had been. This time, she just felt annoyed that he wouldn't admit it. True, he was there, but for some reason she wanted to know those times he died. She didn't push it though. If he didn't want to admit it, he didn't have to.

She almost smirked as Rory's hand reached up pull her down to meet his lips, but he paused an instant before they touched. Instead, she frowned, suddenly annoyed that he'd caught himself a split second before he caved.

Freya didn't sulk this time though, she just settled where she sat, inches from him, her arms and legs folded in a defiant, annoyed away. A pout was on her lips, that same annoyed look in her eyes. "Drat." How dare he catch himself just before caving! It was bothersome! And now she almost felt desperate to feel his lips against hers! She'd been deprived of it the entire day! And that one time he had kissed her only made her realize just how badly she wanted it.

[Rory Ashe]

This was insane, why would he be trying to resist Freya? Who in their right mind could possibly want to resist Freya? Especially right now, when the only thing that was stopping them was him! This was stupid, he just about rolled back over and grabbed her when it hit him. He was doing this because if he didn't she would gloat over it for the next few days, and besides. It wasn't him who was stopping this, she could give in too!

As he heard her speak slightly he couldn't help himself from glancing over his shoulder at her. There she was, sitting down beside him with a pout on her face that could only be described as cute, and the annoyed look on her face only added to it. He quickly looked away, no, she was doing it on purpose. It was almost a literal pain to keep himself away from her, "So... Are ye ready to give in yet, darlin'?" He asked over his shoulder, it was surprisingly obvious in his voice that it was him who was about to give in.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Freya just stared at his bare back for several moments, trying to fight the urge to forcefully turn him back herself. How was he lasting this long?! He never lasted this long! Never! Even when he had been trying! It was almost unbelievable.

And then, he'd looked over his shoulder. If she'd had cat ears, they probably would have pricked up right then, hoping he'd give in right at that moment. He didn't. She felt like cursing, he was being far to strong willed today! After the avalanche and being separated shouldn't he be as desperate to touch and kiss her as she was?!

There was... one last thing she could do, hopefully to finally push him over the edge, but if he didn't cave, she would. She shifted positions, reaching over and forcing Rory onto his back. Brushing her hair off of her shoulders so it wouldn't get in the way, she placed both her hands on each side of his shoulders, as if to block his escape as she leaned over him, only a few very short inches away. "Yeah. But I'm not going to." She smiled a little. "You forget, I'm better at playing this game then you are."

[Rory Ashe]

Rory was starting to think he could make it now! The less he looked at Freya, the less pronounced the urge became. Especially after he started taking calming breaths, as if to control himself to keep from losing control. He was going to prove to Freya that he was far more strong willed than her! Not only was he going to prove it, but he was going to prove that he could play this game as well!

Then suddenly, he felt hands on his shoulders, pushing him onto his back. He could have easily fought against them, but for some reason he couldn't. Then there she was, leaning over him. As if that wasn't bad enough she started getting closer until they were close enough to kiss without hardly trying. "We'll see..." Was all he could manage to get out.

Rory had no doubt that he had more self control and will power than Freya. Unfortunately, she was better at seducing him than he was at her. So only a second after speaking, Rory was broke. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers, seemingly expressing all the passion that had been building up in him all day, and had no intention of breaking the kiss anytime soon.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Freya had almost stopped breathing at how close she'd gotten to him, fighting the monstrous urges to just throw the 'competition' out the window. Just a second, she had to last only a second longer then him! She could do that!

... Right?

Freya hadn't shown much self control in their relationship so far, what she lacked in the field though she made up in just being able to drive him crazy. She payed attention to every little reaction he had to things she did, looking for the things that seduced him, even as silly as that sly smile of hers.

He had spoken then, but before she could even register what he'd said his lips were against hers, trying to convey all the days missed moments at once. All attempts to try and figure out what he'd said vanished. All the days emotions and feelings surged to the surface, driving Freya to press even harder against his lips.

[Rory Ashe]

It felt incredibly refreshing to finally kiss her. From the exhausting climb today, to the avalanche, to losing Freya and then finding her again it had been somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster. Now though, all if it didn't seem to matter anymore. In fact, the competition didn't matter anymore, he no longered cared that technically Freya had won. Why? Because he was the true winner, being able to kiss Freya finally.

Freya definitely had him outclassed at seduction. In fact, when she wanted to, she could be the absolute most seductive thing in the world for Rory. When she wasn't trying, it didn't matter, she still seduced him even if she wasn't trying. It made it impossible to resist her, but then again, he didn't really want to resist her all the much.

The kiss was amazing, perhaps one the best yet. Just like he was sure Freya could feel his, he seemed to be able to feel all of her emotions throught the day. From Rory's side of the kiss there seemed to be a built up energy that he was finally able to release. Though the kiss was more than enough, Rory wanted more, he wanted to touch her, hold her right now. However, because she was holding his shoulders down he could only move a bit of his arms, which he did. Positioning one on the only part he could reach, the lower part of her thigh.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

Not even the cold seemed able to ruin this moment, But it wasn't like either of them seemed to notice that Freya was no longer heating the inside of the tent. Instead, the heat was radiating from Freya's body... again. This time though, somewhere deep in her mind that wasn't occupied by their intimate moment seemed aware of the change, and was carefully keeping an eye on it. Don't get not enough to burn, that was the goal.

The rest of Freya's consciousness though was putting everything she could into the kiss, as if she'd been starving. In some ways, she had been, Rory's touches and kisses were intoxicating and addicting, going most the day with little physical contact... Very much starved and deprived.

She felt his hand touching her lower thigh, and realized right then that she was holding him down, stopping him from touching her. Completely shocked at herself, Freya instantly moved her hands off his shoulders, finally giving him the freedom that she'd been enjoying far to much.

[Rory Ashe]

Rory hadn't realized how much he missed this until he started kissing her again, then it all came back to him. Her touch, her kiss, every bit of it seemed to electrify his body. Not to mention he was starting to feel actual heat from her, which added a whole other layer to the sensations she was causing him. It was probably safe to say, Rory himself had been starving for this as well, he just didn't know how much until now.

As soon as Freya released his shoulders, he immediately pulled Freya on top of him, pulling her hard into his kiss. One hand was still on her thigh, but was squeezing it a bit harder, while the other one rested on her back and began to rub up and down it as he kissed. The kiss itself became a bit rougher, and a bit more fierce, it was becoming obvious how much Rory had wanted this.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

No words seemed capable of expressing their emotions anymore, that starvation both experienced driving Freya mad. Even now she just didn't seem to get enough. Every moment that passed, she seemed to grow more passionate, more desperate, even if it didn't seem at all possible!

If this were any other moment, Freya might have giggled when he instantly pulled her on top of him when she'd released him. Now wasn't one of those times. She couldn't spare that moment she would have taken to giggle. Even Rory seemed to be unwilling to spare any moments on anything but their kissing. If Freya had spared a moment to think though, she might have started to wonder, with nothing to interrupt them, just how far would their desperation take them?

[Rory Ashe]

Rory could feel the passion in Freya's kissing, and if he wasn't mistaken, it was getting stronger. In fact, the longer the both of them kissed, it seemed the more they wanted to kiss each other. It was as if they were getting more addicted the longer they went, and Rory was.

The thought actually had crossed Rory's mind of how far they would go. With how frantic they were now, it seemed there would be no stopping. However, they wouldn't go that far, they had only been dating each other a little over a month, they had self control, right? Rory finally broke the kiss for only a moment, just to catch his breath, and he was breathing harder now. "I guess this means ye win?" He asked with a raised brow, "What do ye want fer yer prize?" He asked with a sly grin and wink.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

The days events could probably be blamed for their desperation. The game to begin with, the avalanche, being separated with no idea where, or in what condition the other was in, that joyous reunion... Everything today had just been pushing for this sort of reaction from both of them.

They might have only been 'dating' a month, but time didn't really matter to Freya. They'd announced their love for each other on several occasions, verbally and physically, actually most who had dated such a short time as them rarely were at the same stage as them. Guess their all to similar or complete opposite personalities not only drew them even closer to each other, but it also drove them to move much faster then others. But, did that really mean they'd go that far?

Freya was more then a little disappointed when he suddenly broke the kiss, but her lungs were grateful. Finally she took the time to catch her lost breaths. "I'm sure I can think of a few things..." With out even realizing she had near quoted one of the first things Rory had said after they shared their first kisses. She matched that sly grin of his with her own smile.

[Rory Ashe]

Perhaps it had been the crazy ride and adventures they had been through today that caused such desperation between them, but perhaps it was something more as well. Rory couldn't explain why, but it was as if because they were alone and couldn't be interrupted, they were making up for all the times they had... And perhaps experimenting with how far they would have gone every other time. Or maybe, it was a mixture of both.

Rory and Freya were definitely not your average couple. Both in the way the acted individually and the way they acted together. They were one of a kind with the kind of passion they showed for each other, as well as how mean, teasing, and playful they could be. Perhaps they were moving fast, perhaps what they were doing wasn't normal speed for a couple, but neither Freya or Rory were normal or average by any means.

"Ye can, eh?" He asked with a mischevious smile, recognizing what she said was almost exactly what he had told her after their first kisses, the night that started it all. "Well don't think about them... Do them." He held the same smile, but how he had said it made it almost sound like a challenge, as if daring her to do what she was thinking. After all, she had won the game, he would let her be in control... For now.

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

No, you couldn't call Freya and Rory a 'normal' couple. Not just because of their personalities though. After all, Freya tended to burn stuff when she got angry, and Rory did come back from the dead. Such an odd pairing they were...

It was a little unfair that he wanted to leave the situation in her hands though. Actually, it was completely nerve wracking! Sure, she knew how to flirt and seduce Rory, but that was as far as it went! Not only that, but the way he'd spoken was as if he were challenging her! A completely lost expression touched her face, as if asking 'What the hell am I supposed to do?!'. Rory might not have known it, but everything that was happening was completely new to her.
