"Ah, first kiss, was it?" He hadn't known this, but when he found out, it wasn't really surprising. She was sweet and unjaded. Perhaps that was what had attracted him to her: a newer face emerging among the same old thing.
Whatever. You just like her. Stop making up reasons why, Kaunth told him.
P'resh, not wanting Amoare to think he was ignoring her, did not reply, though he longed to make a scathing remark.
"Well, as far as kisses go, it was my favorite, certainly," he told her, settling into his own chair once again.

She was not embarrassed that it was her first kiss, no she was rather proud of the fact that it had been such a pleasant one. Seeing him settle back, Amoare attempted to settle herself with another sip of the wine. Adjusting herself so she sat crosslegged in the chair, she rested her head on her hand as her elbow rested on the table. Looking at the bronzer next to her, she was perfectly content just looking at him.
After several moments of contemplative thoughts, she finally spoke again. “Your favorite? Certainly and inexperienced candidate can’t compare to the company of another rider.” she said with a smile. The more she talked to P’resh the more fun she found talking in this playful mannor.

"Oh, you'd be surprised, m'dear," he assured her, taking a sip of his wine as she did. "There are a lot of bad kissers out there," P'resh said, fakely cringing.
"But ours," he said, referring to the one they had just shared, "was different. You are different than anyone else." P'resh smiled at Amoare. "You may be inexperienced...but I think that may have been what I liked best. I don't really know how to describe it without sounding like a wher in the daylight," he added, laughing. It was deep laugh, and had an almost wistful sound to it. P'resh did not like being unable to explain himself.

P’resh’s explanation left Amoare amazed and excited at the same time. In a sudden need to show her happiness with his answer, it was her turn to be the kisser rather than the kissee. Moving a little too quickly because she didn’t want to chicken out, Amoare nearly missed his mouth. Nearly.
Kissing the edge of it, she dared enough to readjust her lips so that they were centricly located over his. After a brief moment, she struggled to pull herself away. Suddenly aware of what she’d done she found herself suddenly shy again. Was she allowed to do that?
Blushing she looked away as she softly spoke an apology. “Sorry… I just wanted to say thank you and that just kinda seemed the right way to do it…”

"Shhh," he said, as he leaned over and once again kissed her. "It was perfect; the best way to say thanks." Looking into her pale blue eyes, he saw a bit of uncertainty, but also a bit of excitement. Well, that was fair. He was feeling his own bit of excitement himself.
"I do. I like you a lot," he said. "But where we continue from here is your decision. I won't push you into something you are not prepared for."
P'resh was shocked once again with himself. There had been few times he had let a woman decide what was next, and all the other times had been in bed. This girl was working some type of spell over him.

Amoare was suddenly lost at P’resh’s words. She’d been happy that he had liked her kiss to him as thanks, and even more so when he kissed her again back as reassurance. It was his next comment that puzzled her and she spoke her mind before she even realized what she was saying. She instantly scolded herself for sounding so stupid afterwards.
“There’s more?” The innocence was apparent in her question yet her face was full of curiosity and astonishment that there could be more, possibly better things than kisses. Her voice held the now-common mix of shock and excitement.

P'resh looked at the girl, shocked. "Surely you've seen other...couples...together?" His lips pursed and eyebrows tightly knitted together gave forth a sight of thoughtfulness. "Oh!" he exclaimed. "You thought I meant...er...nevermind."
"What I mean is, well...I would kind of..." P'resh trailed off here. He wasn't sure how to tell Amoare that he would give up his somewhat "active" sexual lifestyle if that was what she wanted...if she told him there was a chance that she'd be with him, he'd give up the other females. He had never been attached to any of them anyway, so it wouldn't be like giving up anything important...
Oh, but how to phrase it so it sounds like she is important! he thought to himself. All he knew so far was that he did not enjoy not explaining himself thoroughly.
"Okay. What I meant was, if you told me you...liked me," and P'resh paused here, thinking of how boyish he sounded, "I would not see anyone but you. Does that make sense?" he wondered aloud, more for his benefit than hers.

Amoare watched wide-eyed and giving her full attention to P’resh as he attempted to explain something she didn’t quite understand. He seemed to stumble a little over his words which made Amoare all the more aware at how awkward answering her question must be for him. She must have asked a question that most people already knew by her age. She feel stupid.
When he finally managed to spit out what he’d been trying to find words for, things started to make sense. Well, some of it. Seeing him so uncomfortable only made Amoare want to reassure him. Remembering the way he had just reassured her, she stood up and leaned over him, wrapping both arms around his neck she kissed him, moving her lips ever so slightly as she did so to caress his.
Refusing to pull away until she’d succeeded in giving him the longest kiss yet, she finally let go of him and answered him. “I think it makes sense. I think it would be impossible for anyone to not like a bronze rider like you. I do not, however, want you to stop being friends with people.” Taking part of his meaning wrong, her explanation might have sounded a little strange, but she didn’t notice.

Closing his eyes to her kiss and kissing back, he dared and pulled her into his lap when he felt her arms slip around his neck.
When she mentioned him not being friends with anyone, he sighed into a chuckle. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were making this hard on purpose.
"No, Amoare, I mean I wouldn't see other women. Meaning, I'd be all yours...to kiss, or whatever you want," he added, grinning mischievously. "Yours for the taking," he said melodramatically, thorwing his head back for good measure. P'resh wanted to keep this as lighthearted as possible, and keep it comfortable Amoare.

Falling, she’d tightened her arms around his next in reflex, but instantly relaxed when she found herself in his lap. She was suddenly very aware of the strong muscles in not only his arms but the ones in the back of his neck and the legs that were now beneath her. Hearing the accusation of being difficult, Amoare couldn’t help but smile at the idea even if she hadn’t been.
Realization finally dawned on Amoare as she realized what he meant. The idea of being able to kiss him whenever she wanted; the fact that it might last longer than this night. It was exciting and she found herself actually liking the idea.
Seeing him offer himself by throwing his head back, Amoare couldn’t help but cause mischief. Kissing his lips again, it was a shorter kiss but it was quickly followed by another one that landed on his cheek and another that landed on his now-exposed neck. The last kiss landed again on his lips and she finally backed her answer with words.
“I’d like to be able to kiss you whenever I wanted…”

The kiss that landed on his neck was the one that made him shiver and gain a new set of wherry-bumps. At her words, he looked up at her, almost surprised.
"Oh?" he said, for he had half-expected her to say no, to reject him. "Really?" Mentally, he chided himself for such foolishness.
He was sure now that the veins in his arms, entwined around his new flame's thin waist, were showing, but he no longer cared. This would be something new for him...an actual relationship with someone who cared for more than "tonight." It was good.
"Well, alrighty then," P'resh told her. He stook out his hand. "Shall we shake on it?" he asked. Outside, Kaunth, unable to hold in this bursting explosion anymore, bugled.

Amoare felt him shiver beneath her and she suddenly realized that he just felt the same feeling she’d felt earlier when he’d touched her neck. Remembering how it hadn’t been an unpleasant feeling, she put that shiver in the back of her mind for later use. If it was a ticklish spot she might need it later.
Finding his hand between them and offered, she took it with a rather large smile on her face. Noticing how much smaller her hand was in his, she stretched it to the fullest hoping to not seem so tiny. It was the first time she realized just how small her frame was compared to his, yet with his remaining hand still touching her back, she couldn’t help but feel secure with him.

"Oh, you silly girl," he said, pulling her hand toward him, placing it on his neck, and kissing her. "We don't need to shake," he said, teasing her again. He sat with her for a few moments, feeling both the warmth of her bottom and the fire still flickering in the hearth.
"So, how bout a trip to meet Kaunth?" he said. "Or is it time for bed?" he asked. He was interested to see how she would react to both questions, but particularly the latter.

Smiling at his teasing words, she was happy to kiss him back, rather amazed at just how easy it came after the first. Leaning more against him in the following silence, Amoare thought about what all had happened this night and was very thankful that she hadn’t gone straight to bed without dinner.
Hearing his voice break the silence, she smiled at him. “Bed? I’m so excited I could go all night.” she said happily, not realizing the play on words that she spoke. “I’d love to go meet your Kaunth.” Lifting herself out of his lap she finished off the last drop of her wine so she wouldn’t feel wasteful and waited for him to lead the way.

After having had a hearty chuckle at her play on words, he said, "I bet so, but follow me."
Kaunth, where are you? P'resh asked, eyes fading out of focus.
I'll meet you and your new friend in the Bowl, P'resh, replied his ever faithful friend.
"Okay, when we get out there, be careful...because it's dark outside, and I don't want you to stumble or anything," he told her, babbling. He didn't want to seem motherly. He lead her out of the caverns into the Bowl.
Kaunth's lumbering body came from a local shadow and rumbled.
I didn't know where you were coming from, Kaunth told P'resh.
"It's no matter," P'resh told Kaunth happily. "Kaunth, this is Amoare. You'll get to see a lot more of her if i have my way.
"Amoare, this is Kaunth."
