How much time? I, of course, have to let my office know that I will be gone for two weeks. "I can leave quick, so the time depends on you, my dear. However long, you need to make the necessary notices and preparations." His hand returned to her thigh, teasing its way up as it shifted to her...

I have never used a portal stone before, but…yes! Let’s do it! She was in. She would forget about the thief for a time. He could gain her trust, gain insight, and the expansion south, could begin. He smiled at her before leaning forward, his lips pressing against hers, gently. Pulling back he...

Those sound like longer trips than just going on a vacation, Finnick. That sounds like leaving Vel Anir and this life all together… "Nonsense! Hire a mage to use a portal stone for us. Bing, bang, boom. Travel is cut down by half. Take two weeks to unwind then come back." It was as if she never...

She started to defend against his first remark, before quieting, and from the look on her face, he knew she had little to say. Little of a remark to make. If she had, it would have been a swift clap back. So what great places would you show me? "The beaches of Alliria, the shores of Elbion...

He just grinned at her outburst. "When was the last time that you actually lived? That you didn't abide by the daily schedule set forth for you by the life you were born into. The life, that was expected of you?" He would laugh. "And not run off with me. Just run off. If you happen to want to...

Oh that small huff.. delicious. His antics had begun to worm their way into her soul and now, now she was haunted by his every move. Both as Ryder, and as Finnick. He watched her then shift so she could set her wine glass down. Finnick... The only true way to get rid of the headache is to...

He noticed the glower and his internal joy skyrocketed, but he would manage a much more neutral expression, even managed to curb his laughter. She would test that resolve on her own when she cracked a joke at her own expense. It was both playful, and yet extremely frustrated. I don’t know how...

"Oh yeah, you think he might have been the one I saw on the rooftops?" He asked as she disappeared into the kitchen. When she emerged, he would stifle a laugh. "You're telling me, that this thief is really just an angry interior decorator?" She would set down the glasses and fill them...

"As you wish, i won't make anything.. too messy." He teased before joining her and taking a seat on the couch. "Oh? What brought about that? A captain telling you to try something new? Or just a personal choice to refresh the space?" He asked before nodding. "A drink would be good, I can do...

Oh that laugh. Such a good sign. Ryder favored her with a smirk as she looked back, guiding him into her den. She took the liberty to set the mood with a few scented candles. "Whaaaat? Not dirty?" He teased. "I never would have imagined." A sly laugh followed. "In order to preserve your good...

A hand rested at her hip, so he could feel the shivers he knew he was inducing in her, that confident grin returning to his face as she spoke. She would take a few steps towards the door, before his hand took ahold of hers and he pulled her back to him, into a spin. His free hand would catch...

He smirked at her suggestion at her place. "Mmm.. perhaps one day." He teased, before leaning in to kiss her cheek. He would pause, allowing his warm breath to wash over neck, his voice but a whisper. "No matter, we could just add to that mess.." his lips pressed against her cheek and he gave...

He saw the hint of her thoughts behind her eyes, so he knew well what strings he was pulling, which ones he was toying with and teasing. So when he broke the kiss, he felt that desire, the hunger for more. Damn you, Finnick, I know you are not going to try to leave me this far from my door...

With her door in sight, he would pause, lifting the hand he held to his lips to place a kiss on her palm, and then a lingering kiss on her wrist. That hand and her hips teased ever more. "Then if that is your decision, my dear, I will honor it." He would then lean forward, pressing his lips...

His free hand would move to take her hand that had looped in his arm, freeing the limb just long enough for it to slide seamlessly around her waist, and pull her side against his. His hidden smile could only imagine the inner battle waging right now. "Well, we are going to go back to your...
