New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

Yeah, we have a lot of options for what we can do later. I'm excited for all of it! Super glad you hopped back on the site and we're continuing the story :)

Also I was busy dealing with a family issue tonight so I'll get my reply up in the morning!

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

I'm not totally sure yet, but I want to get one around October or November, most likely :)

She looked really cute in her collar!

Yep, it'll be a mess, haha. I can't wait cx

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

As Iris broke away from his lips to reach for the hem of his shirt, Cas took a moment to catch his breath, slightly lightheaded from the intensity of the kiss. His heart stumbled with excitement and his pupils were dilated with the intoxicating sight of her exposed skin underneath him. She was the only one he’d ever been this close with before, so every sensation lit him up like fire. It was especially true with the knowledge that unlike the pub, where they didn’t have a way to be safe, and Miles’ bathroom, where his friends had interrupted them, there was nothing stopping them from exploring the fullest depths of each other’s bodies.

He closed his eyes as the shirt came off and her lips painted a burning trail from his collarbone up the side of his neck and finally captured his mouth. A soft sigh escaped from his throat, and he pressed into her again, wrapping one arm around her shoulders while his other hand wandered the topography of her curves. He could feel her fingers migrate from his chest down the front of his torso to his pelvis, where she stopped to unbutton his trousers. Shifting his weight, he leaned up slightly to give her better access, wanting to be rid of the now-bothersome article of clothing just as much as she was. However, just as he did, he heard a distant knock on the door of their suite.

With a groan, he pulled away from her lips and let his head drop against her shoulder. In the heat of the moment, he hadn’t realized just how much time had passed. The dinner they had ordered was already here. “Hang on,” he panted breathlessly, reaching down to catch her hands in his before she could remove his pants. “Food’s here… I’ll get it.”

Disentangling himself from her, he climbed up from the sofa and jogged over to the door. Before he opened it, he paused for a second to look through the peephole, checking to make sure the person who had delivered the cart was gone. He didn’t want to waltz into the hallway half-naked with his trousers unbuttoned and hanging precariously from his waist. Fortunately, from the brief look he got of the corridor, it seemed to be empty, so he stepped outside to retrieve the dinner cart and pulled it back with him into the suite, closing the door behind him.

The food under the stainless steel dome covers smelled delicious, and his mouth watered at the aroma. However, he didn’t want to cut things off with Iris when they were finally about to sleep together for the first time, so he forced himself to abandon the dishes by the door and strode back over to the sofa. “We can eat later,” he decided with a grin, reaching down to take her hand and pull her to her feet. “Let’s take this to the bedroom upstairs.”

That's good because I usually send people lots of pictures of Kai and Frosty xD I'm also getting another puppy after I move (yay!) so expect my Instagram to be flooded with those pictures in a few months

Exactly cx It'll add another level of drama later, since Cas will be struggling to acclimate to being king while also dealing with all the rumors about who he spent the night with at the hotel. I'm sure it'll be a lot for Iris to handle too, being labeled as his dirty little secret

New World Contention [AnnaWinters & Summer]

Yeah, I could see that, since Artemis has already expressed that she finds Azdrei'in visually fascinating. He thinks the same of her but doesn't have the mindset of looking at her like a potential lover at this point. That will come later, after he gets better at her language and they start talking more and forging a connection :)

And I saw that we talked about including other immune humans too. Our characters will run into them later, after Azdrei'in starts going out again to continue his work clearing away any threats to his people.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Glad you liked them xD She was stalking me because I was pacing by the bar counter, and she hates it when people pace for some reason. Every time I walked by her, she tried to swipe at me lol

Exactly. That's what I was thinking too. They'll need more than just one night, since they probably won't be getting much sleep xD I also have a mini idea for this part, since Cas got overly excited before their food even arrived. Before they take things to the bedroom, I was thinking that they could be briefly interrupted by a knock on the door. Cas would get up to bring the cart inside, so it isn't left sitting in the hallway, and unbeknownst to either of them, the girl who dropped it off would see him (probably in a state of partial undress) and sneak a photo that ends up getting circulated by the media and starting the gossip train about him having a secret lover.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

When Iris told him that she didn’t really wear dresses in the districts, Cas couldn’t help but think that was probably a good thing. She was more beautiful than she seemed to realize, and he wouldn’t have been at all surprised if some of the men in the rebellion had noticed too. While he would never perpetuate her insecurities, it was lucky for him that she hadn’t taken advantage of the fact that she could have any man she wanted if she tried. Of course, she had technically been with Ethan when they had met, but he didn’t really count that. Her ex was one of the most condescending, manipulative people he’d ever seen. Silently, he vowed to treat her much better than that scumbag ever did, because she deserved to be made to feel special.

The way she clutched at his shirt and then slipped her hands underneath the thin fabric made him shudder, and a grin crossed his lips as she whispered suggestively into his ear. He supposed anyone who thought he’d booked the suite to have a secret affair wasn’t that far off their mark after all. Although he hadn’t been thinking of Iris when he’d first made the call to the resort, it hadn’t taken more than twenty minutes after they’d arrived before he’d almost forgotten about the fight with his father completely. It was difficult to think about anything else when he was tangled with her on the sofa, alone with nothing and no one around to distract them.

When she moved in again, he kissed her deeply and leaned into her, using his weight to push her back onto the couch until he was hovering over her. Her rough touch was exciting, different than what he was used to in the best of ways. He’d had zealous make out sessions with women in the past, but the high borns he’d dated had always been overly careful with him, nervous to do something “wrong” or injure him because he was the crown prince. So, when he felt her nails press into his chest, his heart fluttered wildly in response. It wasn’t so much that he was a masochist as it was that he liked that she didn’t hold back with him. Between them, there was no underlying fear about saying or doing anything wrong. Knowing that also made him more eager to take things further.

As he pressed his lips against hers, he ran his hands down her sides under he found the bottom of her black dress. He pulled back from the kiss briefly to slide the garment up over her body and then her head, letting it fall carelessly to the floor before he sought her lips again. “I love you, Iris,” he breathed in between kisses, gripping her bare, supple waist firmly in his hand. There was still a faint twinge of nervousness in the pit of his stomach, since they were approaching territory he’d never explored with anyone else before, but it was quickly being drowned out by his desire for her. The feeling of her soft lips on his and her hot flesh beneath his fingertips drove him crazy and desperate for more.

Yay! Glad you got everything sorted out ^^

And they do! I decided that they have just as wide a spectrum of emotions as humans. They don't choose mates out of love though. When they were still on their home planet, it would have been more common for couples to choose each other based on infatuation, but because they're dying out, their "spouses" are chosen for them based on the likelihood that they'll be successful at bearing offspring. So there are no expectations of love or romance, and Azdrei'in doesn't expect to ever fall in love with anyone. It'll be interesting for him to navigate those emotions if he and Artemis become more than friends later on :)

I'll try to get a reply up today for you! I went back to reread our OOC posts too, so I could remember what we had planned for the scenes coming up.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Cats are weird like that xD

Definitely. I'm thinking I like the idea of giving them one extra day before Cas turns his phone back on, since I doubt they'll get much talking done during the first night lmao

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

As Iris explained herself, Caspian got the impression that she was an even bigger people-pleaser than he was. He had habits of conforming to groups to try to fit in too, disliking when anyone treated him special or different because of his status, but he’d never gone so far as to pretend to like food that actually turned his stomach. Now that he was aware of how sensitive she was to the way other people perceived her, he was going to be much more careful about how he approached her when other people were around. Privately, he also made a mental note to check with her sometimes when they were alone, just to make sure she wasn’t hiding her opinions from him as well.

Sitting beside her on the couch, he laughed softly at her playful remark and leaned into her touch as she caressed his cheek. “I don’t know. I like both, honestly,” he shrugged, indulging himself with another sweep of his gaze over the black fabric that currently adorned her curves. Red may have been his favorite color, but it wasn’t the only one he found attractive on a woman. The dark satin dress she was wearing now was alluring to him in different ways. He liked the contrast of the outfit against her fair, rosy skin as well as the way it cinched in all the right places to draw his eye from the hem above her knees to the teasing glimpse of her chest at the top. It didn’t have to be a shade of scarlet to elevate his heartrate to a dangerous pace.

Her hand fell to his thigh, and his eyes lifted to her face just as she whispered to him, and he leaned forward to meet her halfway in a kiss. “I missed you too,” he breathed just before their lips met. At first, he kissed her tenderly, relishing the excitement that stirred in his chest at simply being this close to her again. As they pressed into each other, though, the exchange grew steadily more heated. He let go of her hand to wrap both of his arms around her body, one behind her back and the other holding her by the hip. In one smooth motion, he pulled her onto his lap without breaking the kiss and tangled his fingers in her long hair.

“You know… we have this room to ourselves all night…” he murmured with a mischievous smile as he peppered her jaw and neck with a few more kisses and trailed his hands down the length of her back. Both other times they had been alone, at the pub and in Miles’ bathroom, they hadn’t gotten very far, but this time, there was no one around to interrupt them and no reason to hold back. He would have been lying if he’d said that the thought hadn’t crossed his mind to take advantage of the solitude, and he hoped she felt the same way.
