A Not So Adventurous Second Meeting (Rory)

[Freya Elensar Ashe]

"We'll see." Was all Freya was willing to say on the subject now. They were both so stubborn, it would probably never be as easy a victory as her first. Not while he was on guard now. They'd just have to see who could wait it out the longest.

It wasn't that they were sneaking behind Tari's back. Tari was just... overprotective sometimes. And she hadn't been to fond of Rory since she first met him, having witnessed Freya slapping him. Since then, she hadn't been sure what to think of the man, and with Tari you were guilty until proven innocent... Well the same could be said about Freya, but she'd already 'proven' Rory's innocence. Or he'd proven it. Either way, they were long past the stage Tari was still contemplating at. She wouldn't take the news easily. Best to let her get to know Rory a little better before they told her.

Freya almost let out a moody sigh. She really didn't want to leave. But, at least Rory didn't want her to leave either. Now though... it really was time to say their goodbyes for the evening. Before she could have sighed though, Rory had yanked her into one last passionate kiss. The last for the night. Such a terrible thought that was. But, it vanished, as all thoughts did when they kissed like this. Freya leaned into the kiss, fueling it with as much passion as she could before they were forced their separate ways.

[Rory Ashe]

Seconds seemed like minutes, and minutes seemed like hours as they kissed. Not like he was counting though, he was much too busy to tell how long they held it this time. Though it felt much longer than any of the others had been, which Rory wasn't complaining about at all.

He could fill the passion in her kiss, she was treating it as if they were never going to see each other again. So, Rory did the same, making sure she knew how badly he wanted her to stay and how much this night had meant to him, without ever saying a word. They say all good things must end, and they were unfortunately very correct.

Rory slowly pulled away, running a hand softly down her cheek, "Until we meet again, I s'pose." He said quietly, gently kissing her on the cheek before taking a step back. He assumed she would probably just fly, like she had on the balcony, and as much as he wanted to be close to her he didn't want to be close to her when she blasted off.
