Rekindling Fires (attn: Yrean)

“You be not the only one be thinking that May. It be no an easy thing to love and not be having that love returned. I be thinking it be a thankless road I be walking.”

 

This night was getting stranger by the moment, and Yrean felt like any sense of sanity was slipping through his hands like grains of sand. No matter what he said, or did for that matter, he felt like he was wading a river in the dark and against the current. Now he was sure he was in the middle of the river and had no clue which way he should be going, or even if he should be moving.

 

“May, I be no knowing what you be wanting, so I be thinking we should be sleeping. Be you wanting to share the bed, or be you wanting me to sleep on the floor?”

May laughed, "We just made love and you want to sleep on the floor?" She pulled him up to sit next to her and kissed his hand softly before letting it go. "It would be my pleasure to have you keep me warm." She turned and smiled at him, besides, Cari probably wouldn't kill me if I let you sleep on the floor." Cari didn't care where he slept, but May made it seem like it was a joint decision. He was a free man after all, he could do as he pleased and not even stay here or go to Illian, she was still slight upset at his way of thinking her motivations were to persuade him.

 

May pulled the covers away and lay down, Yrean laid down beside her and she pulled the covers over then, then turned and put her arm and leg over him. It was comforting to feel him next to her. She kissed his neck, "We can talk if you like? While Cari is letting me out, what do you want to know?"

Yrean grimaced slightly as May put her leg over his, it was not her fault and so he saw no reason to mention the cut on his thigh, right in the area where she had placed her leg. Instead, Yrean kept his mind focused on just who this was, he did not want to slip and upset her. We can talk if you like. For some reason that sounded so strange, in all his time with Cari he had never actually sat down and had a proper conversation with her, in all their brief time together, there had been too many serious issues that they had talked about. Slowly Yrean stroked the skin of Cari’s shoulder, making slow circling motions with his hand, just enjoying the feel of her body against his, without the pressure of their usual encounters. For the first time he noticed the scent of her hair, it had been washed earlier and smelled very different to how her hair normally did.

 

“If you be wanting to talk that be nice May, I be telling you about my background if you be interested?” May climbed up his chest and kissed him on the lips and told him to start talking. As Yrean started to speak, May lay her head on his chest, one finger winding though the hair on his chest. Obviously she must know a certain amount about Yrean’s past, but he doubted she would know all of it. Hopefully this would allow her to open up to him later, but if not then that was fine with him, he knew Cari could hear what he was saying, and maybe the words were as much for her as for May.

May listened to Yrean's story, she drifted off to sleep and wasn't sure if he'd done so first or not. It wasn't that his story was boring, but the round of emotions and then the love making was far too exhausting and his voice was soothing.

 

But May didn't wake up in control, it was well before dawn as usual when Cari woke up. She lay in bed watching her current lover, wondering why she was here. He was nothing but trouble. A light fool again she was having feelings for. She wouldn't say she was in love, men were confusing her as of late and she wasn't sure what she wanted from any of them.

 

Sam was the father of her children, he was also her first, but that was a little known fact. Demus was a darkfriend she trusted, and even more than she trusted herself. Demus was alot more than the other lovers despite his age. It always came down to his age when she thought about Demus. And then there was Yrean, a friend but a light fool. Someone she trusted but yet couldn't trust compeltely. Men were completely confusing.

 

Cari rolled out of bed quietly so as not to distrub Yrean and dressed in a dark blue linen off the shoulder blouse and a black knee length skirt that would show the ornate decoration on the knee high boots she choose to wear. Cari didn't have many choices in clothes, and most of what she'd brought was the same type of clothes except for those she would work in later.

 

Arms wrapped around Cari. "Who do I be speaking to this morning?"

 

Cari smiled but wasn't sure how to answer him. "May's still sleeping." She hoped that was enough. "Did I wake you?"
