A Not-So-Blind Date [Attn: Tia Tomosan]

[Bella]

Although he wasn't sure that he had truly believed she had regrets, given how they were in that moment and how she was acting, there was still relief when she said that she didn't. If one of the top things one didn't wish was to go to bed with someone and later regret it, it would be worse--to him--to do so and have them regret being with him.

"We will have to move eventually," he said, with amusement and pragmatism. "The Tower will have need of our return, and there will be questions about what we found in the village..." Notably, he wasn't moving. "However, that doesn't mean we have to move right now..."

Tia Sedai

The Green laughed softly, “Why do you have to go and be all rational, and what not? She winked at him, “Though the best thing you saidin all of that was that we don’t have to move right now.” She propped herself up on an elbow and kissed him as her other hand slid to the back of his neck.

Tia had every intention of taking advantage of their time together, and part of her couldn’t stop grinning like a fool. She was swimming through heady emotions, some of which were entirely new to her and they were hitting her with an intensity she didn’t expect. She broke the kiss and pulled back to look at him, studying the intensity of those blue eyes.

Three words danced on the tip of her tongue, and with those three words, new desires came swelling up. Surely it was too soon to. . .

Finally, she offered Bryn a warm smile and whispered, “Definitely no regrets.”

[Bella]

Brynmor smiled warmly at her, further relieved by her response. He reached up and touched her face, brushing his thumb along her cheekbone before leaving up to return the kiss. Brief and light. He left his hand on her face as he pulled back, wondering about all the feelings that had been dredged up and pushed around on this trip.

"I certainly have no regrets either," he said quietly, his voice still a little hoarse from the energy and emotions expended. "In truth, if the Aes Sedai was willing, I would be happy to do so all again." This time, the warm time turned a little crooked with cheekiness.

Tia Sedai

Tia nuzzled into his hand, not taking her eyes off of his. The headiness of the moment, and the excitement and anticipation swirling with new emotions made her feel more alive than she had since. . .well, since Jaryd, though what she felt now seemed even more intense. His crooked smile caused her to laugh softly.

Without hesitating, the Saldaean rolled him to his back and returned his crooked smile with a smirk, “I’m pretty certain the Aes Sedai is more than willing.” She didn’t give him a chance to respond before leaning down and kissing him once more.
