More like him? That was an interesting thought... "Well, you're welcome here in Alkara, Tori... I hope you find it fitting enough to be your home." She was interesting enough, disregarding the caressing...

Thankyou She wrote and smiled, rising, she gently pulled him up with her. Her lips met his as she kissed him gently, her hands on his cheek. In a flash, she was walking from the room, the door closing behind her gently. She had never done that before...She was raised as a seductress..But it never really worked with her..She never had taken to it well...And in her past....It was onlt filled with hurt..I guess she just never had the urdge to seduce anyone..But he made something click, something that made her feel..a new feeling..She liked it.
Her kind eyes took in the hall gently as her finger tips barely brushed the wall.

A little more then suprised at the kiss, he smiled politely and watched her leave the room with a hurry. "Well... That was interesting..." Clearing his throat, he turned back to his friends and sighed. "Well now... Where were we?"

Alura blinked away, a look of deep hurt blazing in the depths of her bronze eyes. Why did she feel so... Jealous? She was just his friend a friend, nothing more than that.... Right? She blinked away, her heart feeling asif it was sinking into her stomach. Tears burned behind ehr eyes, but she fought to keep them back-- and did it very sucsessfully until she saw the smile on his face. It shouldn't matter! She shouldn't care!
...But, no matter how wrong it was for her too; she did.

Her lips tingles lightly as she walked, her eyes as kind as ever as she moved with grace along the hall, admiring the walls of gold and such. She stopped to admire a particular painting...That of Lemartes...Standing over a vampire..A blade running through the vampires heart. Her hand coverd her mouth as she looked at it. Her other hand gently ran along the outline of the two...He lied to her. Her bronze eyes flashed with a deep hurt as she looked at the painting.

Seeing Alura struggling with her emotions, he paused. "Alura, are you alright?" Not so keen to detect the hint of jealousy from her, he placed a hand on her shoulder, a worried look on his face. "Is something wrong?"

Silent for a moment, fighting to stableize her voice she blinked away. "Never better." Her voice held hurt in it, as much as she had tried to mask it. She closed her eyes, so her wouldn't be able to see her tears, although the salty scent was in the air.
She wanted to step away from Lemartes, but found that she couldn't.... How could she feel this way for him?! It was... It couldn't. She couldn't believe she'd caved into her emotions... But it wasn't surprising that something like this could un-lock such a deep feeling.

Worry and concerned dominated his features, and he placed he held her other shoulder gently as well. "Alura... What is it?" Her pain was evident, in her tone and expression... But what had caused it to happen so suddenly?

She didn't know wether it was his obliviousness to th cause of her pain-- or his care that cut her so deeply... How could he be so clueless?
She frowned as a tear slid down her cheek. She gave up on attempting to mask her pain; Slearly he could see it. She opened her beautiful bronze hued eyes, wich mirrored her hurt, glazed with tears that continued to spill.
Remaining silent her eyes searched his face... She couldn't possibly tell him.... Not now-- Not ever... Could she? She looked at the floor... Why him? Her closest friend...

In the back of his mind, he thought he knew the root of the problem... But he didn't want to admit it to himself... "It's Tori, isn't it..." Speaking softly, he forced a weak smile. Indeed... They had been the best of friends since day one... It hadn't occured to him that their bond went deeper then that... Perhaps they both knew what they really felt, but was never brave enough to admit it.

Alura looked up at him, forcing herself to keep her lips from quivering. She frowned as two more tears dropped from her bottom lashes. "I...It's...." Her voice was un-stable and she was trembling slightly... In all honesty-- she couldn't believe he'd figured it out.
"Lemartes...I... I-I can't... I feel..." She continued fighting to keep her composure, still trembling... She had to say it.... She had to...

He might not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but he could at least connect the dots... With a sigh, he looked away for a second. "Tori... It was nothing, I'm sure... She was just thankful, that's all." Looking back at Alura, he tried to smile again. He wasn't supposed to fall for his guard, because then that involved numerous risks during times of war... But, he couldn't lie to himself. He had indeed grown quite fond of her.

She looked up at him before closing her eyes and frowning "Lemartes... It shouldn't matter.... I... I this... You... How?" She opened her eyes and look up at him, hating how weak she felt "I...." She kept trying to say those three little words... But found she couldn't...

With a sigh, he wrapped his arms around Alura in a tight embrace. "I can't explain it either, I'm afraid... But there is only room in my heart for one..." Her lips were so close, but still he hesitated for some reason..

For her, time seemed to freeze... Their lips were so close... His words made her heart race. Being in his arms felt so right... But at the same moment fear ate away at her insides. She wrapped her arms around Lemartes and found her eyes slowly closing, and her lips moving closer to his... How could this be wrong.... When it felt so right?

Slowly, he leaned his head down and closed his eyes as well. And soon, his lips were pressed gently against hers... He thought his heart had skipped a beat or two when they kissed, but he managed to keep the contact steady, in accordance to his feelings. Surely time had played them for fools, keeping them so close, but far apart as well.

In that instant, Alura felt asif her heart had soared up into her throat, beating hard as their lips met. Complete bliss engulfed her, dulling her senses-- making her heart feel asif it would burst from the feelings deep inside for him. She moved a hand to his cheek and the other to his neck.
Everything seemed so.... Perfect-- But...How?

Lemartes didn't question their good fortune, he was just thankful for it. A part of him was beginning to believe he was going to die without experiencing the most life had to offer him. But here it was, in front of him all this time... Putting their passion on hold, he broke the kiss, more out of breath, then anything... His calm smile remained as he leaned his forehead against hers, speaking softly. "I think that got the message across rather well..."

Alura blinked at him, completely breathless. She smiled, her heart racing; this all seemed so surreal. "I think so..." She closed her eyes, breathng deeply, and feeling so safe in his arms.
She laughed as a rose hued blush spread onto her cheeks, hardly believing this was happening...

Not really knowing what to say, he simply smiled, still catching his breath. His relationship with Alura had always been a pretty laid back one... He never imagined it turning out like this... But, it was a good thing, he knew... Larkin had been right after all. What he felt for Alura was more then just simple friendship.

Gently stroking his cheek Alura smiled; this feeling was... amazing. She blinked at him, her bronze eyes filled with passion, longing and affection. She'd kept these feelings at bay for so long... And once they were revealed... Things had worked themselves out.

Evennow, he had trouble saying 'I love you.' Why, he didn't know... But it felt right to him, and he hoped Alura felt the same... Mustering up his courage, he gave her a brief kiss, before taking a deep breath and smiling. "Alura... I love you..." There! He said it!

Tears of joy burned in the corners of her eyes "Lemartes; I love you too..." She smiled and looked deeply into his eyes, her heart feeling as if it was pumping two or three times faster than usual.
They'd both said it... It was out there, and accepted.

Smiling still, he nodded. Good... Now that part was over with... Leaning his head down again, he pressed his lips against hers in a more passionate, meaningful, kiss.

Alura smiled and accepted the kiss, returning it with the same amount of passion and desire. Her fingers laced themselves behind his neck and she pressed her body against his, closing the very small space that there was between them.
And in that moment, it felt like there was only him; only they exsisted... Nothing else mattered... Life was good.

Had he known about her feelings earlier, Alura probably would have been his wife right now... But, that was alright with him. Love didn't need to be rushed, and worked its magic in many unexpected ways... As she pressed her slender body against his, a light blush tinted his cheeks, but quickly faded as he found himself enjoying the lack of space between them. But, even now it seemed that they were still too far apart. As one arm rested comfortable wrapped around her waist, the other sent its hand to the back of her head as the kiss continued.

Every muscle in her body loosened, and her stress evaporated. Her firm feminine frame stay against his masculant one; making her feel... Protected, which for Alura was somewhat odd, seeing as she was usually the 'protector'.
The heel of her right foot left the ground, leaving the tips of her toes touching-- but only barely.
And, she couldn't help but want this moment to last forever.

He had rarely seen Alura in such a 'feminine' state of mind. Usually she was the one to first volunteer for missions, tag along with him nearly everywhere, and watch his back quite diligently in fights. However, this was not a bad thing, and Lemartes found this side of her very enticing, and to his liking. Filling their kiss with more enthusiasm, the shifter took his time, the yearning for this moment to remain like this forever also bubbling in his thoughts and mind.

While the kiss deepened in feeling and meaning; thoughts and memories began to twine in Alura's mind. She never really imagined this happening; But couldn't deny that she'd had feelings for him... Long before now.
Somewhat annoyed with ehr self she shoed the thoughts away, leaving her again-- with him and this moment of pristine emotion... Something she'd never forget.

Had it not been for Tori, Lemartes probably would never have found out how she felt for him. As far as he thought, Alura just liked him on a friendship level, nothing on this large of a scale. But, the outcome had pleased both him and Alura, it seemed, so all was right in the world, he supposed. Focusing on their moment of passion once more, he ignored the burning sensation in his lungs when he forgot to breathe... Drat... Breaking contact with her lips for a quick second, Lemartes took a inhaled a lungful of air, before resuming their kiss.
