..Drygan..The Trek Continues..

[Rhindeer]

Thank Gods she actually stopped, which gave Hatame a moment to breathe and collect himself, even if just her hand resting against his chest was distracting. Oh well. At least she listened, because that small pause helped! Damn...he really didn't know how some men could do it, hold out that is. Jeez. Either they were eunichs or they were gay or something...that had to be it, because Hatame just couldn't wrap his mind around any other reason.

Fortunately and unfortunately, Sakkata didn't pause for long because as soon as he'd asked that question, she was back at it again, nuzzling behind his ear, making the sensitive skin there tingle and spread down the rest of his neck, cuddling closer to him, and then...nipping a bit harder. Hatame shuddered, rolling his shoulders up as though to try and hide his neck a little, and any second thoughts he might have gained during that brief pause flew right out of his head. Uhhh, yeah, that was as good an answer as any, and Hatame wasn't really in the mood to try and dig an actual verbal response out of her at this point! Body language worked, for sure--he honestly didn't need words right now!--and, well, that settled it. She wanted him, he wanted her. What more was there to it? It was really basic stuff, here...

Maybe he should do like Sakkata and just go back to his instincts. Because they were apparently making her very, very happy!

Finally, all doubts gone, he released the arm he'd been grasping and twisted around in her grip, ducking his head suddenly so he could press his lips against hers abruptly. And it wasn't a light little kiss like the ones they'd shared before. One hand pressed against the center of her back, pulling her tight against him as he worked his mouth demandingly against hers, running his tongue lightly along her bottom lip but not yet entering her mouth. And when he did break the kiss, it was only so he could nibble at her jawline and kiss just beneath her chin, along her throat. Yeah, he'd caved...and he also vaguely, at that moment, remembered the whole "complimenting the tail" thing--which was probably an odd time to remember it, because he just about burst out laughing. And he only remembered it because his hand had sort of wandered a little, just brushing the top of it.

No, he had no idea how sensitive a spot that was.

Was he supposed to compliment it now? Or...something? Did it even really matter?

Whatever the case was, It was really, really tempting to just go ahead and pin her right there, right now, out in the open or not! But, he also remembered where they were, and that that would be a very bad thing. So he quickly quickly put his tail-oriented thoughts on hold; he'd play it safe and do any complimenting when they were inside and the door was locked.

Oddly enough...Sakkata really didn't seem to care if they "mated" right here on the spot...

Yay, hormones!

Pulling back a little and taking a deep breath, he started to get to his feet, taking ahold of her arm to pull her up with him. Though, he wasn't quite so sure how well leading her would work--she seemed pretty intent on the here and now! deal but, hey, if it came down to it, he had no problems hauling her up and carrying her in there.

...Maybe he would anyway. It sounded fun!

[Anonymous]

Sakkata resisted his shoulder as it rolled up to block her from his neck, her tongue darting out to catch the skin on his neck anyway.
And just like his smell, she loved his taste too. Then again, with as hormonal as she was, she loved everything about Hatame just then!
But any resistance he seemed to have been putting up suddenly melted away.

She released him as he twisted around, blinking at him before he suddenly kissed her.
Yay, yay, success!
Her arms quickly wrapped around his middle, fingers twisting into his shirt. She half-watched him through nearly closed eyes, pressed close by his own hand, and loving every minute of that rough kiss.
Obviously Drygans wouldn't be particularly gentle when mating, since they were half dragon after all.
She growled against his lips happily, and it broke into the open air as he moved to her chin and neck, some of the most sensitive skin on her body. She couldn't help but shiver, and the growl dipped in pitch, becoming again that happy lustful mewl.

And then he did it. It may have been on accident, but it didn't matter. He had touched her tail, if even just a gentle brush.
Sakkata immediately bucked and arched hard against him, her tail curling up and practically touching her own back. It stole her breath, and all she could manage was a groan that was more like a growl, from deep in her throat.
If that didn't make it obvious how sensitive her tail was, nothing would.

But then he was moving away, and standing, and Sakki was too fuzzy-brained to do anything but blink up at him.
He pulled on her arm then, and she reluctantly stood, not liking the distance between them. And she wasn't going to stand for it either.
So she nuzzled up to him again, her arms once again catching him around the waist, annoyed by the cloth that got in the way.
He might very well have to carry her, for the last thing on her mind was walking that short distance back through the door.

[Rhindeer]

...Needless to say, Hatame would be remembering her tail, because needless to say, he had not been expecting anything close to the reaction that that light touch had elicited. Aha! Suddenly everything started to make a little more sense. No wonder Sakkata had gotten so pissed off and beat the crap out of him when he'd complimented her tail! Apparently it wasn't just a deadly and painful weapon (as he well knew), but a highly errogenous zone as well! Which made sense on why the heck males would compliment it during mating time. Prior to this little revelation, it had seemed just so...random, and he'd gotten visions in his head of Gryphons complimenting other Gryphons tails. Pet a Gryphons tail and you'd probably just get an odd look; really, it did nothing for them except to serve as a balancing rod and to help in flight.

It was a bit of a relief to learn that Sakkata was so...aggressive, too. Not that he couldn't be gentle, but it was kind of reassuring in that he'd previously been afraid of hurting her or something. Just as Sakkata had been taking cues from him when they'd kissed for the first (or, well, technically third) time, he was taking cues from her now, paying close attention to her body language to gauge her comfort level--and of course to judge what she liked and what she didn't like. That was important, and he'd learned to be flexible--hey, no two people quite liked the same things!

Obviously, she was quite comfortable. Ahem.

And obviously she wasn't too keen on moving. Which he wasn't either, but...they had to! It...it was just a few feet away! They could make it! They could!

Except Sakkata nuzzled up to him again, catching him around the waist, and logical thought was temporarily suspended as he pressed back against her reflexively with a soft groan, dipping his head to catch her earlobe between his lips, since she'd seemed to like the attention he'd given her ear before, and gently running his tongue along the rim and the place just below her ear and letting his breath tickle the moistened skin. His free arm looped around her back, fingers curling into the fabric of her vest--which would have to be taken care of soon, stupid cloth...though he had to admit, as much as he hated clothes, it kind of did make for a fun game of getting rid of them. He pulled her close and nuzzled her neck, loving her scent, her taste and he nibbled along her skin. Wait, wait, damnit, stop, room, go, now! Right...moving...now. He nipped her collarbone once and reluctantly pulled back.

But only so he could scoop her up into his arms, one arm already on her back and his other hand releasing her arm so he could support her legs. At the rate they were going, he was pretty sure they'd never make it to the room, so, here's to being proactive!

After that, it was a matter of <I>feet before he'd crossed back into the room with Sakkata held tight to his chest, catching the door with his boot and kicking it closed because he really didn't want to take his hands off a certain Drygan at the moment. So much so that he didn't even bother with the lock...which may have been a good idea, but damnit, if anyone walked in on them, well, he figured they'd get the picture and leave them in peace, heh. In any case, he was glad the room was small and the bed was close, because, once he set her down on it, they could finally pick up where they'd left off.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, Hatame was probably doing a celebratory dance at this point.

A Drygan's tail had to be a fluke or something. Dragons had thick scales, so nothing on them was particularly sensitive.
And humans, obviously, did not have tails.
...Who the hell knew how that had come about. Maybe it was just the Elementals' sense of humor. Make a species that hardly ever thinks about sex, only comes into heat every so often, and then give them a tail that can make them hornier than a rabbit with one well-placed stroke.
Yeah, that had to be it.

Not that she was complaining right now.

Sakkata hadn't had a logical thought since earlier that morning, so any thoughts of getting indoors were already totally gone. A sharp shiver ran along her body as he went for her ear, tail stiffening out behind her with pleasure. She wiggled against him, hardly able to hold still with the attention being played on her ear. Her teeth grazed against his neck, using her sharp canines to tickle the tender skin. As she nibbled up toward his jaw, she nipped a bit harder a few times, but quickly soothed it over with her tongue.
Right now she was expirmenting as well, wondering just what he did and didn't like, and just how much he could take on the 'love tap' end.

Luckily for Sakki (and probably unluckily for Hatame, since he was the one having to walk), even once in his arms and being carried, she could still quite easily reach his neck. She threw one blue arm over his shoulder, the other used to gently run her nails down the opposite side of his neck from where her mouth could reach.
She gave him a soft, tickling kiss just behind and below his ear, before reciprocating his earlier affection and nipping the rim of his ear a few times before running her tongue along it softly.

Apparently she wasn't going to pause for anything!

[Rhindeer]

GYAH!

It was probably a bad idea for Sakkata to do that while he was carrying her because, while Hatame had gotten fairly used to the attention she'd been giving his neck (and it probably helped that that damned choker thing covered the lower part of it), he had not been expecting her to tease behind his ear before nipping it, nor did he expect the rougher nips, which were very much appreciated! Well...okay, maybe he'd expected it, it was all part of the mating game, but not at that exact moment while he was carrying her across the room. Baaad Sakki!

His breath caught in his throat and he faltered, a nice little jolt running down his body and forcing a soft growl from his throat, and he just about dropped her as a result--though he was quick to tighten his grip on her so he didn't. Because that would be bad. No, not necessarily bad, he had no problems setting her down right here on the floor and going at it, but...no dropping her on her ass. That was bad and owie.

And besides, the floor was made of wood. Nice, squishy beds were better all around. Yup. For the love of Gods, they could make it there at least, damnit!

"Jeez, woman..." he managed breathily, unable to really say more than that, not that words even mattered, anyway. And he'd been worried that he'd come across as pushy! My Gods, she'd jumped him and everything! And Hatame was not complaining now, even if he did turn his head a little to try and escape that attention she was giving his ear--and so that he could kiss whatever skin of Sakkata's he could reach from this angle.

Through some act of determination and willpower--because, seriously, with Sakkata giving his neck hell, this whole thing had become so ridiculously difficult for him, not to mention distracting! Damn her for figuring it out so quickly!--he managed to get them the ten or so feet across the room and to the bed. Which was where he finally plopped her, and carefully too since her tail seemed to be so damned sensitive right now--a fact he was going to gladly exploit. He wasted no time in joining her, not liking to be separated for even that long, and he roughly recaptured her mouth with his once he'd crawled up on the bed beside her, and his hand came up to tangle in the hair at the nape of her neck.

His other hand, however, caressed down her back and sought out her tail again, quickly finding it and stroking softly along its length with his fingertips, down and then back up again, slowly. And then, still kissing her, he finally darted his tongue between her lips to taste her for the first time.

Now, it was just a matter of taking care of the stupid clothes issue.

Pulling away briefly to kiss her throat wetly, still petting her tail, he finally decided to do what was really, really tempting to do. Because Hatame was still Hatame, after all...which meant that, even hot and bothered as he was, he still had a sense of humor at probably the weirdest of times.

"...I still think your tail's the sexiest little muscular appendage around," he breathed into her ear, lapping at the tip after.

Yep. Still Hatame.

[Anonymous]

Sakkata, showing some of her personality once again, grinned against his neck in amusement. For a moment there, she was afraid he was going to drop her, but he managed her weight despite the distinct shiver she could feel go through him.
And the growl only excited her more.

The more he reacted like a Drygan, the happier and more eager she became.

He tried moving his head to break her contact with his neck, so she in turn just nuzzled into the junction between his neck and shoulder, shielding anything but her ear.
Which she totally didn't mind if he kissed.
But soon enough, she found herself falling back, and for a moment she froze. That was until she hit the bed, and realized they had actually made it to their desired destination.
For a while there she was beginning to think Hatame wasn't going to make it...

Speaking of, he was quickly on the bed with her, and she was all to happy to practically wrap herself around him. She accepted the kiss and pressed back against him with as much zeal as he, and when she felt his hand at the back of her neck, she felt the overwhelming urge to let her hair down. Her hand was halfway to the tie at the end of her braid when he stroked her tail.
And all coherent thought was lost.
Well, if sex didn't count as coherent thought anyway...

A growl rose from deep within her chest, and once again she arched into him, both arms back around him and pressing his body along hers.
Stupid clothes, stupid clothes...
But she coudln't even think to remove them just then. The touches along her tail had turned her into a quivering mass of pleasure.
She mewled, almost a cry, into his mouth when his tongue invaded hers, and she jumped at the opportunity to try it out for herself.

She growled with displeasure as he broke their kiss, but couldn't help the shiver that tingled along her skin when he moved to her throat. She hadn't known that was such a sensitive spot on her...
Panting, she could feel his breath against her ear, and it took a brief moment for her to understand what he was saying through the haze that his petting her tail was putting over her.

Then she smirked. "Bastard..." And she went for his neck again, almost as if to get him back. She bit along the skin under his jaw, and began to get annoyed by the choker that was blocking access to the rest of his neck.
She wondered if she could bite through it...

[Rhindeer]

Hatame still couldn't help but be amazed at how sensitive her tail was because, seriously, he would have never guessed. After all, whenever he thought of Sakkata's tail he tended to also think "concussion" because that was usually the only reason there was ever any skin to skin contact between his body and Sakki's sexy, muscular appendage. Which was indeed quite sexy right now. But one could imagine that, with this new knowledge in mind...yeah, he wouldn't be letting her live it down. Ever. Not only was it a concussion-maker, but now, in his mind...it was a sex object, or rather...button.

Which also meant that, after she was out of heat...he'd probably be getting another concussion, sadly. Or...maybe even more than one. Oh man...

For now, however, he could live it up and simply enjoy the way Sakkata's body arched against his, his chest pressing against hers, loving the feel, the closeness, and most of all the fact that he could pleasure her. It was kind of odd...he was always on her about being open, always trying to encourage her to trust him. This right here was like, well, the ultimate act of trust and openess, in a way, yet even now, somewhere deep inside, he was a little worried. He didn't want it to just end here; he hoped that, even after all was said and done, even after this whole "heat" thing ended, she could learn to open up about other things, as well. Because, really, after this...there was really nothing left to hide, right?

That's how he looked at it.

He could feel the tremors that ran through her as he stroked her tail--which was surprisingly soft; truthfully, this really was the first time he'd touched it--and just as Sakkata seemed to enjoy that little growl of his, he loved hers, and of course the little mewls. After all, he was a Gryphon, technically...he liked those kinds of sounds, and they really only served to encourage him. Especially when she had kissed him back...

A hoarse laugh escaped him, breath puffing against her ear, when Sakkata smirked and called him a bastard--ahaha, still his Sakki, even now!--and he was content to continue nibbling on her ear when, once again, she attacked his neck. Then it was his turn to growl as she bit the skin beneath his jaw, his breath catching in his throat and a shiver coursing through his body, and he reflexively tilted his head back so she could better access his neck, now having no need to resist since there was no longer a threat of dropping Sakkata or something. Finally, the hand that had been caressing her tail paused, and he lowered his hand from the back of her neck, but only so he could place his hands under her rump and pull her up and into his lap. Any distance, he'd decided, was too far

He'd just let his hands stay there for a while after, too...

As for the collar...if Sakkata asked him, he would honestly say he didn't know. He couldn't; it wouldn't let him take it off, because there was a binding spell woven into it. The most he could do was slip his fingers under it when he washed, but any attempts on his part at removing it failed. He simply couldn't...but...someone else might be able to.

He'd never thought to ask.

He did, however, think to take care of the whole clothing issue, and as Sakkata busied herself with his neck, he slid his hands up her back and around to her front, hands caressing lightly up the sides and over her still-clothed breasts, letting the fabric rub against her skin to act as an extra stimulant. Then it was just a matter of finding the buttons or clasps or whatever it was that held the vest closed--why did women insist on wearing such complicated clothing? Tilting his head down so he could see what he was doing, he finally managed to find and undo the first button, and he dipped down so he could nibble at the newly exposed part of her chest. Then he went for the second one.

"You should let your hair down..." he suggested randomly as he unbuttoned her vest, kissing each inch of skin as he exposed it, right down the middle. Then he paused, raised up, and licked the patch of skin right below her left ear, running his hands up to her shoulders so he could start to push the vest off her. He smirked against the side of her neck.  "...I'll let mine down, too..." That was meant purely as a joke, because he had tied it back in a ponytail earlier, but...hey, he would do it!

[Anonymous]

Sakkata would not be happy when she found out Hatame intended on using her tail against her loooong after her period of weakness was over.

The bastard.

Her skin was incredibly soft, especially considering it was far tougher than human skin. And best of all, he was touching the most sensitive part of her tail, up near the base.
Obvious why that is.
She shivered as his warm breath washed over her ear, and she grinned against his throat. But it was purely because she was happy to have made him laugh.
...Weird.

His head tilted for her, and she continued to nip and nibble, licking at his skin whenever she bit alittle hard to sooth the sting.
And still that damn collar...
But before her train of thought could follow into 'must get it off!', Hatame's hands had wandered rather boldly to her rump.
Sakki squeaked lightly in surprise as she was lifted up and onto Hatame's lap.
Wow, she ended up there alot didn't she?

She got over it quickly enough, and quickly went back to his neck, her tail waving lazily above them. At first she paid little mind to his wandering hands, only noting that it felt good and nothing more.
However, she jerked slightly with a growl as his hands passed over her clothed chest. Being the type of creature that doesn't wear undergarments, that vest was all that seperated his hands from her skin.

The first button came undone, and Hatame was off. Sakki shivered all over, greatly anticipating every new button he opened.
She realized then that he was talking to her, and that he wanted her hair down.
However, with her bracing on her arms so he could get to her chest, it wasn't the easiest task to accomplish.
"You let mine down," She breathed, having a hard time talking around the caught breaths he was causing. "And I'll let yours down."

Damn that was distracting!! And oh...! He got her ear again...or rather, below her ear, but that was one sensitive patch of skin...
She sat up then, and half wiggled out of the vest on her own. She thought nothing of sitting there, bare chested, before him.
And the question can be answered here and now...
...Drygans do not have tan lines. She was the same pale blue all over, except (pardon this) her nipples, which were a darker shade.

"Alright, your turn." Um...how the hell was she gonna get his shirt off? She supposed he'd just have to sit up....

[Rhindeer]

Hatame actually laughed again, even if it was throaty and hoarse with breathlessness, at Sakkata's answer. "Heh...sounds like a plan...you do me and I'll do you," he purred into her ear, still teasing.

He couldn't help it, it was amusing. Either Sakkata took his hair letting down joke seriously, or she was just playing back. Either way, though, he had no qualms about it and he’d play along because, well, that was just how he was; hell, he'd even do a sexy hair fluffing thing afterwards and everything, just for shits and giggles. Smirking a little and lightly biting the side of her neck before sucking on the skin gently, he let her take over stripping the rest of the way out of the vest, a little surprised at her boldness (after all, sex crazed now or not, she was still his prudish Sakki! Even if she wasn't prudish now...which he was not complaining about in the least!), and his fingers ghosted over her bared shoulders and down her equally bare back as she soon discarded the vest completely.

About damned time. And, needless to say, he stared, his breath catching in his throat. Damn, she was beautiful...it wasn't like it was the first time he'd seen her naked (or, well, half naked). There had been another time, but those had been far different circumstances, and even if back then he hadn't known (or maybe had ignored) his feelings for her, he'd always thought that of her. Especially when she really let her personality show, and when she smiled. It occurred to him then that he'd never actually told her that, though; he'd always thought it, but he'd never said it. It was just one of those things...he was bad with words; he was naturally more physical, and what was totally obvious to him...probably wasn't all that obvious to her.

He had to remember that...

Pressing another rough kiss to her lips and exploring her mouth with his tongue, he stroked along the base of her tail again before finding the tip of her braid and making short work of the tie that kept all that pretty hair contained. Tossing the tie off the bed to land somewhere on the floor, he ran his fingers back up her back and through her braid as he kissed her, carefully undoing it and letting the long strands fall around her shoulders and back freely before running his hands over her shoulders and down her arms, and back up again. Operation: Take Down Sakki's Hair complete (and here's to hoping he wouldn't end up tangled in it; that would be awkward), he grazed her bottom lip with his teeth, nipping and running his tongue over it. Then he pulled back a little, but only so he could press his lips first to her shoulder, biting lightly, and then along the inner slope of her right breast.

Then he paused.

He'd almost missed what she'd said.

Looking up at her, he licked up along her breast and over the nipple before, with some reluctance, he lifted his head. "Mm?" His turn...oh! Right! Clothes. Aw, damnit, he didn't want to leave her boobies, though...but...it was only fair and it had to be done sooner or later!

With some reluctance, he pulled away completely then and sat up, moving his hands from her shoulders and back and to the hem of his own shirt. Sakkata wouldn't have to worry about how the heck she was going to get it off him, because he started to do it for her, hooking his thumbs in the fabric and starting to lift it up, finally exposing some of his own dark skin, including the claw-made scars that slashed up from his hip. There were more scars, too, including another four slashes, also the work of a Gryphon's talons, that crossed over the right side of his chest. Old wounds long since healed.

However, that was when he paused again and let go of his shirt before smiling slyly at Sakkata. "Oh yeah...you gotta do me..." he breathed, absently caressing just under her breasts and down the flat of her stomach, just teasing for now. He slipped his fingertips just under the waistband of her breeches down the front, then slipped them back out to work on undoing them. "Hope you're not disappointed...I'm kinda flat-chested..." Then he winked.

[Anonymous]

She snorted at his response. That sounded suggestive...
Screw suggestive, they were already on the verge of having sex as it was! But she hadn't gotten the 'let your hair down' joke because...well...she just wasn't human enough to understand it.
So instead, she actually went for his hair tie, pulling it from his hair as quickly as she could. She liked long hair, obviously, as all Drygans naturally had it. No Drygan would ever cut their hair.

Oddly enough, she hadn't expected him to stare so...awe-struck at her naked torso. It actually made her blush for the first time during this entire thing, and she was tempted to cover up just from the intensity of his eyes.
But instead she let him look, and met his mouth with hers as they kissed. Her tongue mimicked his, learning fast in an effort to be able to make him squirm as much as he did to her.
Of course, there was no substitute for her tail.
Growling, she grabbed Hatame closer, nails biting into his arms as her tail once again arched up with pleasure. Ah, that was so not fair...!

A shiver ran down her spine as he undid her hair, working out the braid so that her scalp tingled as all that long white hair was let loose. She gasped, her breath hiccuping, as he trailed his mouth down one breast.
This teasing had to stop, she couldn't take it!
Her long-fingered hands again convulsed on his arms as his tongue trailed up, not at all expecting the amount of pleasure that one little motion had caused.
He leaned back from her, and began to take off his own shirt, her eyes watching as more and more of that wonderful dark skin was exposed.
And then...he stopped.

"What...?" She shivered as his hands romed around her body, down her stomach, to her pants. That...that wasn't...he had to stop teasing her...
Panting alittle, she grabbed at the hem of his shirt, and forced it off of him. She grinned at him even as she went for his chest.
"You're the one who's supposed to like boobs..."
And then she returned his affections, letting her tongue trail across his chest and his own nipples, wondering if he could have nearly the same reaction as she did.
She wasn't even clear-headed enough to realize he was actually, finally, undoing her pants.

[Rhindeer]

Haha...so she really had been serious about letting his hair down. Heh, not a problem! He just...well...hoped that there wouldn't be some sort of weird disaster between them given that they both had long hair. His only came down to his shoulder blades, though, while hers was, well, all over the place! Still, you never knew...but truth be told, he wasn't even thinking about hair. He was more focused on the way she reacted to his touches, her growls and gasps, the way she arched against him, the way her claws bit into his arm--which he didn't mind in the least; if anything, it only sent a thrill down his spine, even if it did hurt a little, in a distant sort of way. He'd been around her for a long, long time, and he knew good and well that she had claws. He also knew good and well that, during this little romp, he might end up getting mauled.

Not a problem. It wouldn't be the first time--he was a Gryphon, after all--and if he got another scar or two from her, he certainly wouldn't mind it. Not if it was from her.

And truth be told, he really doubted he'd even notice a little pain in the midst of all of this. Truth be told, he kind of liked it.

Hatame had to pause in undoing Sakkata's pants when she grabbed for his shirt and forced it up, and he lifted his arms to make it easier for her to remove it. The air wasn't as stuffy as before with the window opened (...nice one, Sakki) but it was still hot out, not that he noticed the heat in the least because, well, he was already quite hot for a different reason, his breathing coming in light pants and his heart racing. Still, the slightly cooler air made him shiver a little as it cooled along the thin sheen of sweat that had gathered along his skin, and he playfully shook out his hair once he was completely freed of the shirt so his black and white hair fell messily around his shoulders. See? That's how women's tops should be! Nice and easy without all the funky buttons!

Shirt taken care of, he was free to finish what he'd started and work on getting Sakkata fully naked. Well...if Sakkata would let him, at least, because that was when she went at him and those plans were temporarily put on hold.

Oh...wow. Apparently Sakkata really was following his lead in all areas. Because, just as he'd started to lave attention on her chest, well...there she went. Straight for his. And if Sakkata had been wondering if it could have the same effect on him as it had had on her, well...let it be known that, indeed, even on a man that was still an extremely sensitive spot! Hatame was taken so off guard he actually momentarily forgot about getting Sakkata out of her breeches, jerking in surprise and inhaling sharply through his nose. Unfortunately and fortunately (and it was only unfortunate in that he was trying his damnedest to take his time), the shock also made him buck a little, briefly grinding their hips together and sending a pleasant shockwave through him. Gah...dear Gods she was a fast learner!

He could only snort softly at her words, hands going up to shakily grip her upper arms, almost out of reflex. "Ah...I do..." he managed to gasp, shuddering and closing his eyes briefly as he leaned back a little, trying not to squirm too much and failing miserably. Aw, damn. He grinned weakly yet wryly at her. "And...apparently so do you..."

Finally working through his current distraction and trying to catch his breath, he let go of her arms and went back to her breeches, working at getting them undone with a bit more determination than before. They soon came undone and he carefully pushed her back onto the bed, soon falling in beside her so he could work on shucking her out of her breeches. Which was exactly what he started to do, peeling the pants down over her hips, exposing more of that light blue skin that was so beautiful to him. Of course, getting them off past her legs would be a bit of a joint effort unless he decided to get out of bed to yank them off completely, which, well...comfy and half naked next to an almost naked Sakkata as he was, it was something he was reluctant to do. From here, it was her job to kick those pants off!

So, to give her a some more incentive (as if she needed any more) to wiggle out of them faster, he slid one hand down her belly, tickling around her naval and brushing over her hip bone, before slipping down even further, between her legs and past the crisp curls, for now. He caressed lightly up and down her inner thigh, just below where the leg connected to the rest of her body, sometimes trailing up higher but only for a second. And while his hand worked on teasing her lower body, he went back to give her chest some loving and leaned over her so he could press an open-mouthed kiss to her other breast, first circling his tongue around the areola before drawing the nipple into his mouth and applying gentle suction.

Yeah, he liked her boobies, all right.

[ooc: ...wait...do Drygans even have belly buttons if they come from eggs? >_> If not...ignore the naval part! *dies* XDDD]

Sakkata felt a slight surge of triumph as he reacted to her mouth a tongue on his chest. To be honest, she hadn't really expected him to...
Oh...!
His buck had caught her completely off guard, and she gasped before growling in pleasure, her teeth grating rather roughly against his skin. She smiled softly against his chest at his words, then licked softly at the welts she had caused him with her teeth.
But any further affection to his own 'man boobs' was going to have to wait, for suddenly he had fipped her off of him and onto her back.
She was so surprised, she just blinked at him for a moment, until she felt her pants finally sliding down her hips.

A mewl rose from her throat as his hand brushed over her stomach, the skin along the crest of her hip far more sensitive than she could have ever imagined.
But it wasn't until his wandering hand went even lower that she clutched at his arm with one hand, the other grabbing his shoulder tightly.
"Ah..." She arched her hips slightly, trying to press against his hand, almost unconciously.
He was teasing her again....
But...she couldn't get her pants off like this, they were tied at her ankles!
Just as she was about to say so, he went back to pleasuring her chest. Ah, no...!
She squirmed, moaning for once instead of growling, unable to control her body for a brief moment.
"Ah...wait...Hatame...I can't..." She gasped, he skin heated but not with the sheen of sweat that Hatame's own had.
"My pants....they're tied...at my ankles..." And she couldn't get to them with him doing...gah...those things to her...
She was surprised she had even managed to get the words out!

Yeah, right now, little important details like, oh, where else her pants were tied were kind of lost on him at the moment. He probably would have figured it out sooner or later--later was probably most likely--but hey, it was nice that she told him! Even if it was unexpected, because when someone says "wait, I can't...!" in the heat of the moment, usually it means something totally different. At least, that was his experience. So when Sakkata finally gasped out that her pants were tied at the ankles, and once it finally registered, Hatame paused, blinking a moment, and was for a second torn between laughing and groaning--laughing because he liked ridiculous moments like these, and groaning because damnit, that meant he had to both stop and move!

Instead, he settled for kissing Sakkata hard on the lips. "Oh...heh...okay...okay, I'm on it, hold your horses..."

Reluctantly, he pulled back, gently prying himself free of her grip and trailing his fingers over her hips and down the sides of her legs, and then he went for those blasted pants! He worked on the ties to one ankle first before going for the next, Yeesh, who tied pants at the ankles? Thank Gods she didn't wear undergarments though! You win some, you lose some he supposed! Finally, he got both ties undone, and for a moment he had the strangest urge to tickle her feet while he was there. Probably some latent urge for revenge or something, given how she'd exploited his weakness only a few weeks earlier! He resisted under the fear that it would kill the mood and instead focused on tugging the pants off the rest of the way without having to get out of bed. Just because he was stubborn like that.

Which was a bit difficult, but with perseverence (which he certainly had), he managed to get them off and discard them on the floor. "Have anymore hidden ties I should know about?" he teased softly, looking her over slowly, though it was quite obvious she didn't, given she was naked now. Or...er...he hoped she didn't have any hidden ones, considering--no, no, not going that route! Anyway. While he was up, he undid his own belt, unlooped it, and tossed that to the floor as well, just because he knew how pesky fumbling around with those things was.

That done, he rejoined Sakki, reclaiming his previous position and nipping along her neck and shoulder, and down her chest, a bit more forcefully as though to make up for the time he'd lost while fiddling with her pants. And that other hand continued back down over her belly and to her legs, caressing up and down the inner portion of each thigh before he slipped his hand between them, remembering how she'd arched her hips as though to press against his hand. He'd take that as his cue. Palming her softly first, he finally stroked her gently with a finger before searching for what would be probably one of the most sensitive spots on her, aside from her tail. Or more sensitive. Ah, he didn't know how the tail thing worked, and it didn't matter! He'd find out for himself either way, and either way, he planned on pleasuring her first, and making sure she was good and ready.

It was only right, right? It was important to him, anyway...as far as he knew, she hadn't had any, well...good experiences, and this would be their first time. He was perfectly fine with making sure she enjoyed herself first and foremost, and most of all, that he didn't do anything before she was ready. Yeah, so he was still a little worried even now...who could blame him?

He kissed along her throat as he soon found the spot he was looking for and stroked it, and he watched closely for her reactions. After the tail thing, he was still kind of undertain if everything other than that still worked the same on Drygans. Kind of a funny thing to wonder at such a time, but...there you go!

Sakkata would have loved to grab the back of Hatame's head and force him to continue kissing her, but she knew that nothing was ever going to get done that way.
Well...no, it would probably still get done, but yeah...
She wanted her damn pants off!
She couldn't help the fact her pants were tied off at the ankles. It was the only way to keep them out of the way of her draconic feet. A lot of Drygan did it that way. She just never thought of how much of a pain in the ass it would be during sex!
As if Sakki would ever think about sex anyway...

She shivered lightly as Hatame's eyes wandered up her now naked body, and once again she felt that slight embarrassment of before, her cheeks turning a soft shade of purple. But of course, Hatame said something stupid to make it all better, and she laughed alittle, shaking her head. No, no hidden ties...
She was completely bare for him.
Her amrs reached for him as he came back to her, wanting to touch and be touched again. Her body was hot, her breathing heavier, and they hadn't even done anything substantial yet. She couldn't help it...just looking at him excited her.

His teeth met her skin and she growled, hooking her arms around his shoulders and arching her body up so she could press against his naked chest. Just so she could feel their skin together...
Gods, what a sensation...
By now his hand had wandered back to the join of her legs, and she gasped as soon as he placed his hand against her.
Oh...
Yes, that was definately her most sensitive spot! She squirmed for a minute, unsure what to do with the sensation, though her body made up its mind soon enough when his lone finger brushed over her. Her arms tensed, bringing him closer, her nails nigging now into his back as she mewled softly at him, almost pleadingly.

Oh yeah, she was ready alright. There was no extra stimulation needed here. With her body as pumped full of hormones as it was, she had started to grow wet as soon as he had reciprocated her affection.
Yeah Hatame, ready when you are!
Let's make a baby!!

Damn...Hatame couldn't help but growl as Sakkata's claws dug into his back, eliciting a pleasant shudder and a sharp intake of breath as the sharp points indented his flesh, and he in turn pressed closer to Sakkata, heated skin against heated skin, his chest against hers--which, in and of itself, was unbelievable. Somewhere in the back of his mind it had already clicked that, yep, he was going to get mauled but he didn't care...partly because he sort of liked it, heh, and he'd gotten a bit scratched up already; there were already quite a few welts from her teeth along his neck and chest, and red scratches along his arms and shoulder where she'd tightly gripped him. Maybe by the end of the week, if Sakkata kept this up, he'd care when he could no longer sit up on his own because his back was gouged out, but, psha, like he was thinking in the long-term right now (not to mention that he hopefully wouldn't lose that much flesh and blood)! Hell...it hadn't even fully clicked that this was Sakkata's mating season, so to speak. Or at least it had, but the full implications hadn't.

Because what did mating mean in the animal sense of things? Why did animals mate? C'mon, Hatame, you're a Gryphon, you should know this one.

But he was also very human now, too.

Nope. No long-term thinking for him! And besides, he always had lived for the moment. It was the lifestyle he'd adopted when he'd realized life might be short, and he had yet to break out of it.

Sakkata's pleading mewl didn't go unnoticed, nor did her gasps or squirming, and he was quite aware of her own readiness as he continued to tease her. Damn...and they hadn't even done all that much! She really hadn't been kidding...she really wanted him, as though that hadn't been obvious to begin with by the way she'd practically jumped him--okay, make that literally jumped him, she'd only taken him down by clinging to him and assaulting his neck! He kissed her roughly again, tongue stroking against hers as he pressed his body against her firmly for a moment, even working a finger inside her, knowing that in a second he'd have to move and worry about his own breeches. But, psha, that wouldn't take long--he was pro at losing his own clothes!--and after that, there would no longer be any barriers between them.

Well...if she was ready, so was he. Of course, it didn't take much for him (as apparently it didn't take much for her) and he'd been ready, but that was beside the point!

Withdrawing his hand from her, he hurriedly went to take care of his own pants, which were easy enough to get undone one-handedly, especially since he was kind of determined not to have to get up again--maybe he should have lost the pants when he'd stripped off Sakki's, but he hadn't exactly been thinking of his own pants when his mind was in "get Sakki naked NOW, dammit!" mode! Oh well. It wasn't too bad. No Buttons of Doom there, because they laced up for easy access! Well, not really for that</I> reason...entirely. Ahem.

Laces undone, all that was left was wiggling out of the pants--stupid human clothes--which, blessedly, wasn't too difficult considering his pants were nice and loose and roomy. He had to kick off the boots first, though, the heavy things thudding to the wooden floor, and he did have to raise up briefly to get the pants off so they could go hang out with the boots and everything else. And no. He didn't wear undergarments. He never did get the point of those things except that they were implemented by prudes or something--and that they were there to be annoying. Whoo! Less stuff to remove! Always a good thing in his mind, for less was more.

Now as bare as Sakkata, Hatame shifted a little a little so he could move one knee between her thighs and then the other, gently nudging them apart, and he trailed his fingers up and down her legs, caressing under the backs of her knees and over her thighs. He kissed up her stomach and over her breasts, biting at the side of her neck where the neck connected to the shoulder, and ended at her ear, trailing his tongue along the outer rim. "Ready, Sakki?" he breathed huskily against her ear, one hand planted near her shoulder for support and the other still stroking along her leg. He shifted his hips a little so he could just press against her slightly, but he didn't make any moves.

Forget about babies, let's screw!
