Lutorn, Province of Plains

Lutorn, on the western coast of the continent. The landscape is dominated by mile upon mile of grasslands with no trees in sight. The coastal breeze keeps the whole area warm and there is never a true winter in Lutorn.

(Moved here from Geilinor. Last post:
Lock smiled as he noticed her wake up. He gently flopped on the bed beside her. "It's good to see you're awake my lovely woman. Do you like my bedroom? It is a little big but it is the room of a king?")
Aleana smiles at him, "Yeah it's a little large but it's nothing like I expected. I expected something that was regal but not very lived in. But I love this place because it's obvious you really live here. Your essence is all over it."

"Of course I live here. I might rule during the day but I do spend quite a bit of time here. Besides when I got a lead on my sister's location I would just transport myself there. It is much easier. And you might not have noticed it but it's easier." Lock said and gently kissed her cheek.

"Yes. I noticed. It's very fast and I suppose efficient." She says, thinking about the scientific ways you could duplicate his teleportation and how she could tell her superiors... but then she shakes her head and grips her head. "No, I won't tell anyone how to do it. Ugh. It's so ingrained in me to tell them anything about the supposed 'enemy' that I automatically think about telling them," she says, burying her face in her hands.

Lock gently brushed locks away from her face. "I'm not your enemy. I am your rather attractive lover. I just want to make you happy and you don't have to worry about telling them everything. They hold no power over you here. I am the law here and they can't control you." He said and gently kissed her cheek.

Aleana turns toward him and wraps her arms around the back of his neck. She then looks up into his eyes, her own shimmering with held back tears both of happiness and sadness. "Lock... would you please... kiss me?" she asks, voice trembling.

Lock gave her a smile. "Of course I will my little angel." He leaned in and kissed her gently. He gently wrapped his arms around her and held her close.

Aleana kisses him back gently, pulls away, and stares at his lips. After a moment she presses forward against him and kisses him more forcefully. "Ah gods Lock. I missed you."

"I don't know how you had time to miss me. But would you try to make love again? I am sure last time you didn't enjoy yourself much because you were plotting to betray me." Lock said with a light shrug.

Aleana sobs quietly but smiles a bit. "I'd love to again... if you aren't just doing it out of pity. I did... enjoy it. Quite a bit. That's why I tried to make it last. I tried to get you to stay with me a little longer..." she murmurs and then kisses him again, her kisses desperate.

"I don't pitty you and I wouldn't do it because of pitty. Although I can't see why you would want someone you thought killed your parents to stay with you. So did you first run into me because the gaurds had told you those lies?" Lock asked as he gently kissed down her neck.

Aleana shakes her head, already panting. "No. At first I was just doing patrolling and saw you sort of but not really breaking into that apartment. Then when you told me your name I figured out who you were. And.... even though I thought you had killed my parents I still felt the connection."

"Really?" Lock asked as he kissed his way down her neck and began to rid her of her top. "That is sweet of you and I am glad you actually do like me and weren't just planning to get me killed."

Aleana smiles and helps him shed his own shirt. "I will never again let you get hurt. I will kill anyone who tries." she says and licks his ear gently.

"I am glad to hear it." Lock said giving her a smile. He helped her out of her cloths. "Now I will take my time loving you." He said kissing his way down her front.

(Time skip.)

Aleana lays next to Lock, happily sleeping deeply, all worries momentarily forgotten as she snuggles up close to him, content.

Lock smiled as he pulled her into his arms and snuggled close to her. She really was wonderful.

(Not so bad now huh? : P)

Aleana smiles in her sleep and curls up next to Lock. "Mmm. Lock." she murmurs and nuzzles his chest, breathing in his scent.

Lock smiled and gently stroked her hair. "Are you awake my pretty or are you talking in your sleep?" He asked as he watched her.

Aleana opens her eyes slowly, "I'm awake now," she mumbles sleepily and stretches into him, nuzzling again.

"I didn't mean to wake you little one. I only wanted to see if you talked in your sleep." Lock said gently kissing her head. He stroked her hair gently.

Aleana smiles, "I probably do. Especially since I wasn't quite asleep but was having a wonderful dream about you." she murmurs, laying her head on his chest and drifting back to sleep.

"What do you need dreams for I'm right here." Lock murmured as he gently stroked her hair. He watched her with a tender expression. Oh how he enjoyed being with her.

Aleana smiles, "True. But I like being with you when I'm awake and when I'm asleep." she mumbles, opening her eyes again.

Lock gave her a smile. "If you wish to sleep go ahead. I don't want to keep you if you're tired." He said and gently kissed her forehead.
