Well thats, something (heiro/open)

[Carina Dragovetti-BW]

The passion never wained it only napped for a while and during one of those as she lay in his arms talking about nothing important his phone rang. Only two people could reach him on the phone during their escapes and she knew the ringtone for the other so she raised a well-manicured brow and slid him the phone despite his grimace" you know he doesn't call unless it's something important babylove so just answer I'm fine"

As he begrudgingly opened the line the words she overheard had her jaw drop and look at him for clarification. Once it was disconnected she blinked" did he just say.. he was getting married?"

That was one of the last things she had expected Heiros older sibling to call and say tho it made sense since he and the wife to be had just had babies not long before. Maybe it was just time but they did seem to have a strange way of doing things. Tho what was strange when it came to those like them? Her and Heiros relationship was anything but normal at times. So she figured she would just be there for him and distract him in her own way so he didn't go getting on a plane to either stop it or attend the nuptials.

His phone rang and he was instantly miffed. In his head it meant someone was dying or soon would be to trivialize the need. It was Samuels ringtone which meant that death was a very real outcome. He was not privy to Hieros escapes so some small part of his vexation immediately dissipated. Sighing as Cari as per her usual counselled a calmer approach and rationale he swiped open the line preparing a very to the point greeting. Instead he was interrupted by Samuel saying, “You’re going to have a sister-in-law. Call me back in two days not before.” Mouth still agape as Samuel ended the call. He restrained the urge to leap form the bed or dial anyone to make plans. He was equal parts happy for Samuel and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Looking from Cari to the phone he merely dropped it on the carpeted floor rolling atop her as she asked. His answer while audible was also so much physically felt. Slipping home he said " In his way …" Each word while not staccato was met with a slow stretching home and slackening of his shields. He whlie shocked would not question he knew is mind. And instead of being anything more than happy for his brother sought solace from Cari’s touch. Meeting her eyes as he flexed and statically stretched withdrawing enough look down the length of them. Brow raised smirking he drove slowly home again flexing in time to their breathing.

Uncle and brother in law was not a think he’d ever thought attributed to his name but he would take it. While in the moment he intended to by way of taking share more of their vacations pleasure.

[Carina Dragovetti-BW]

The answer was given and quickly forgotten as she welcomed him into her grasp again. Feeling their skin slide and dance she panted focused on the places where they met. Hands cupping his nape under the heavy fall of his dreds.Eyes sparkling as they met his and a smile that no one else would ever be given on her lips.

They knew each other well and true now physically and often mentally enough for her to while focusing on this moment "well, then I suppose we shall have to buy them a gift"

The words came at the head of a whimper again the conversation dropped in favor of their dance. Whiling away the time with him. Building that fire to raging from slow embers. It was some time during their third or fourth change of position in this go-round that her head hanging off the bed him behind she noticed there was an alert on the phone again." mmm so good" "wait who is" "Abel?"

Her sentence broken by his movements against her rear and hips. She was sure they would find out later but he was too driven and distracting at times.

[Hieronymous Banks-Walker]

Taking a second to catch their breathes he lounging face against her hip as she rested head over the bed. Duvet long removed sheets barely connected she asked about Abel. Of course Abel would have his number. He groaned inwardly answering too quickly for his brain to catch-up to his mouth. “Him oh he’s the brother son and guardian demon Samuel wished to but never had. He reminds him of his mothers side of the family.”

He kissed her hip moving lower until he was inhaling a faceful of her scent the contemplations solely about her him and the now. The world could go hang itself as far as he was concerned. Though he did manage “Hmm gifts yes definitely,” before gently though persistently stoking her fires. He had to make up for being pulled away by Mel’s case and for taking the long way back. Business yes but business was to stop unless dire during their datenights. As such he intended to leave them both drained and wrungout as possible.

[Carina Dragovetti-BW]

Eyes widening at his answer with a laugh, she caught the snark and a hint of the bitter with which it was said. Watching him as he moved and shaking her head in mirth that was quickly stolen away at his path. Giving in to the fact that he would not be distracted by outside goings on and that she would just have to be ok with it. She was more than ok with it, lashes like butterfly wings dancing as Heiro delved. Rolling to give him better access feet finding the dip of his spine.

Everything else faded away, the world outside could be getting invaded and they would know nothing of it, it was the singular focus of one to the other. Sore was not a thing she felt often but always with him, after their getaways. Yet she never thought they shouldn't it as of yet hadn't got old for them. Even in repetition, they learned new.

Break in hand once more he windedly moved to their bar retrieving the 1811 Chateau d’Yquem he’d purchased with her in mind he poured her a glass careful to not spill any. She enjoyed white wines and had intended to present this one as a gift with the three bottles of 1920 Cohce-Dury Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru as what he’d ply her with as they rubbed, massaged, tasted and lapped each other into an inability to walk for long. He’d absently grabbed the 181 opening it without looking as he watched her stretch first one calf then the other pointing her toes skyward. Looking down as the slightly sweeter wine hit the air and his nose almost simultaneously. That was unexpected but in the end he merely hoped she enjoyed it.

Moving back to the bed he brought along the bottle of Black Maple Hill 23-Year-Old taking the cork out with his mouth sealed wax tape and all he huffed it onto the nightside table. Taking a deep swig of the almost honeyed essence e handed Cari her glass. “I hope you like…”

[Carina Dragovetti-BW]

Carina knew he was watching, smirking softly she made sure to lower her legs slow. Giving him a show of sorts, rolling to her side to take the drink she blew him a kiss and then sipped the liquid proffered. "Hmm little fruity kinda nice"

Her skin was lightly sheened in sweat and her hair was an outright mess. she hadn't bothered with the flat iron he sweat it out every time. Drinking she snagged his phone and held it up to him" its a Video message?"

Letting him unlock it for her and then opening the video for him, She watched his brother stand at an altar with a woman in robes, then the music started and family walked in and took seats. As they watched it panned out to a woman in a gown" wow that's a gorgeous dress"

She whispered enraptured by the going on, She moved to him and took his hand and the ceremony started. Rini looked at Heiro quickly to see what his face was doing. The vows were said and she even sniffled a little her self. The seemingly happy couple waited for the rings" oh my god they are wearing the outfits I made and they look so adorable"

She couldn't help her excitement, then watching them all walk back up the aisle after the kiss and then there was some soft fumbling and the message ended. Agin she looked to Heiro to see what his face was doing over the top of her glass.

[Hieronymous Banks-Walker]

He chuckled at her appraisal of the wine. Wine was never his thing. He drank it on occasion but as infrequently as possible. He’d take a decent beer over a wine no hands down. He’d spent a little effort broadening his palate to be able to discern good bad and midline but beyond that it reminded him of Sabin and Samuel far too much. "Fruity can be good I hear." He chuckled his mood lighter on the surface despite his internal storms.

As she handed him the phone he sat down his bottle longer enough to unlock h the phone saying, “I rarely have a lock good for anything than keeping out those who don’t know me. Its always my birthday in reverse. Oh-Eight-Nine-One-Nine-Two-Two-Oh unless it’s a specific bit of security then it’s the persons who its intended for birthday.” As he unlocked and she opened the video. Where it was taken from made him aware as to who the camera man was. He watched raptly only sipping twice from the bottle. The largest sip coming when Mel said his vows. They were perfectly him. They were spoken from the soul deep down beneath the rock like exterior. She’d done what none could actually manage. She mattered to him. And despite himself he was touched by something in the now that was not Cari.

It was only once he brought the bottle back down that he caught Cari eyeing him watching him while not as often but nearly as raptly as the video. He smirked big and bright. Saying aloud, “that was a surprisingly beautiful ceremony bt I guess its hard for any party that you have a hand in to be anything but.”

[Carina Dragovetti-BW]

He was deflecting a bit with compliments but she wouldn't pick at him for it, his wish to not get overly emotional over something his brother had done was understandable. Instead, she smirked and sipped again" I know right I mean the babies so stole the show"

Hugging him from behind gently her front to his back her chin over his shoulder cheek to cheek." so, you've brought three bottles not counting this one are we bathing in it? On a liquid diet?"

Teasing him gently because they always ate well and kept hydrated when they managed to get away from the bed. That also some times led to things happening against walls or on tables. They had learned the floor was bad tho. Gulping her wine and putting down the glass she wrapped her self around him giving him a slow massage" I got invited to fashion week Jamaica and Brazil, I don't think I want to do Brazil they would be too hard to get in and out safely"

[Hieronymous Banks-Walker]

Brazil brought all sorts of thoughts to his mind. Namely Cord and a few of the more militaristicly bent Pride members who were on campaign in the region. What most didn’t know was that the Abstract in idea had originally been a multinational idea. It was originally a sword used to lance away the bad apples. Those Rexes that cling to the old. It was a highly nuclear option designed to instead of shield destroy the more problematic of lion kind.

It also helped channel the energies of those who couldn’t escape the natural physical avenging violent urges into something useful if not good. He was the bankroll and marching orders assigner. So Brazil was a gut punch. He didn’t bother to hide the small dread.

Saying instead “uhm yeah staying away from South America is a good thing.”
