You’re really bad at this, ya know.
Shut up, you stupid cat!
I’m just sayin. He’s obviously in love with you.
She can’t respond to that. Does Sterling really love her? Or does he love her fire? Love the fact that she’s a Queen? There was once a friend, a student, who told her that he would protect her from all the stallions that claimed to love her. That claimed it because they wanted her throne, her crown, her power. She had never been wary of it before, distancing herself from everyone. But the Elementals had to go and screw that right up.
“It’s ok.”
It’s a sigh, a breath, that is lets them fall into silence again. Let’s her feel the way his lips are cool, the way his water jumps. His body is cool and heavy, like a friend she never knew she was missing. But she’s been alone for so long that she almost wants to give in. But her Fire burns her and brings her to her senses. She doesn’t know what to do and it pulls her in so many different directions.
She can’t answer him. She certainly doesn’t feel alone. Not now, not in her desert. “I know.” She mutters again with the wind’s breath.
He really liked Andarin. He really liked it. He should be there. No, he’s yours. Yours to keep, whether he likes it or not. Jealousy rages up in her and she doesn’t know what she would do if she lost Sterling to Andarin, to Fenris. He tells her that, but she already knew. Of course she already knew. But she doesn’t speak this time, just lets her tense body speak for her.
She turns further away from him, not wanting him to see the confusion in her eyes, in her fire. “I’m glad you came back, Sterling.” She heard Fenris had a nice butt. Not that she would know.
Do you love him, ‘patia?
I don’t know.
“The deserts wouldn’t be the same without you. Plus it’s so much better here.” She tries to sound funny, to sound relaxed. She’s failing pretty much miserable. “You had fun up there then?” She doesn’t want to go there. Go to the places that his mind is traveling to. She doesn’t understand it. Doesn’t know what to do.
Hesitantly, she turns her head and places her cool lips on his neck.
