Oh, Nadya did keep quiet after that. She had no choice to, for a rebuttal was quick on her sharp tongue, but with the various words she could use to parry with him, all was lost within her storm cloud of a mind. And so she kept quiet, fuming in the deadly quiet as they both eventually settled to...

At the encouragement of his hands at her face, Nadya looked up at him and took a deep breath. The way he looked at her now, she knew he felt what she had always hidden and forgot about. In this moment, she didn't need to say it aloud, but being in his arms reminded her of the home they built...

The fires that burned inside her the moment his eyes captivated her attention were unlike anything she felt before. The kiss last night had been an awakening, the kiss seconds ago had been the confirmation of her feelings for him all along... but that voice... The way he still held her...

Nadya simply scowled at him for calling her small. Talorgan came from a family that were all broad and muscular, just by their blood descended from warriors. Tal was easy on the eyes, just like his brothers, but Nadya always liked him better as he could steer a conversation outside of the proper...

This wasn't the first time they had kissed in recent days, but it was a culmination of movements that stole her breath. The way his eyes softened, telling her his intentions before he could wipe a thumb over her cheekbone. It was as if Cullen was not only orchestrating a tender moment, but...

She would let him. Nadya realised that as angered as she was with Ilir, the kill wasn't truly her's to claim. She had ignited all of this with her own flint and steel, but it was Cullen that rose from those flames after settling to ashes. "Thank you." Was there anything else to say? An apology...

Nadya frowned up at him. "But he came here, Cull. You think someone like him won't go where he pleases?" She stepped forward, needing his embrace as an excuse to move a d distribute that wayward energy into holding onto him tightly. "How do I protect my sisters from someone like him? They don't...

It was eye opening when she had realised how easy it was to escape to her old room. This space was safe, and it was her own. Not even her younger sisters dared to enter it whenever Nadya had been in a foul mood, and all this frustration built up inside her made her wish she could throw...

Working with Talorgan was not new to her, and his silence was met with her own as they trekked further into the brushes and trees. This path was not of civilisation, and therefore treacherous to navigate when they were not armed with large amounts of weaponry. They chose to be observers today...

There had always been an intoxication at being recognised for her skills, to prove herself. It was why Talorgan would have truly lost her to training all day if he hadn't found her at the end of her match. It was a better drug than the feelings and heart racing any lover could do to her. But...

Nadya visibly winced as Talorgan spoke their language, the stark difference in coherence of butchered and native obvious to every ear. For all his worth, the sheer fact Talorgan had made the effort to communicate in a language he had learned made her value him as a human being even more. Despite...

Nadya did not return to change her attire. The loose tunic over her trousers were crumpled with sleep, her hair more than windswept and free, and the boots she at least laced up when she noticed they were undone after Cullen went to ready himself. She didn't need to put her leathers on or summon...

"Good." The smile on her lips quirked. "We always have each other's backs." But her smile fell. Her hands next, upon the memory, or perhaps trauma seeping in, the moment Cullen had thrown back at her the betrayal she committed in even conversing with Ilir that night. "Commander Caliar has a...

Nadya was successful again, this time, her opponent tapped out to be released as she had them pinned to the ground and her spear pressed against his throat. She did so quickly, rolling off of him and moving tk stamd as she caught her breath. She laughed in Talorgan's direction, his hair still...

"Of course I am not going to marry him, Cullen!" She hissed at him, offended he even thought she would consider such a thing. "Let him see you. Let him think he holds all the power. When he gets here and sees you, he will think this is too easy. Taking me from you would sweeten the deal..."...
