Lutorn, Province of Plains

Aleana lets him take hold of her hips, liking the feel of his hands which were warm against her. She continues to explore him, licking his chest and shoulders occasionally.

(I said wrist not hip or hips for that matter. -_-)

Lock smiled slightly and pulled her closer. He gave her a gentle squeez and stroked her gently. "Mmmm Aleana." He murmrued.

(Sorry.)
Aleana smiles. "Yes my Lock?" she says, laying gently on top of him. "I'm here." she says, still attempting to run her hands over him.

"I love you." Lock murmured as he nuzzled her gently. She smeld so sweetly. He could never get enough of her.

"I love you too Lock..." Aleana says, eyes half closed as she lays on top of him. "I love you very much..."

Lock let out a sond of sleepy satisfaction. He pulled her close and gently nibbled on her neck.

Aleana smiles and wraps her arms around him, hugging him and closing her eyes.

Lock let out a growl like sound and pulled away from her. He sat up and one hand went to his face. His breath came out raggedly and he looked as though he were in pain. His beast flickered over him.

"What's wrong Lock?" Aleana asks, sounding startled. She still runs her hands down his arms, trying to soothe him. "Are you ok my love?"

"Just give me a minute." Lock said with a small groan. He took a few deep breaths trying to get control.

"What is it Lock?" Aleana asks, wrapping her arms around him.

"It's nothing. The beast just tends to like to make himself known. I just need a few minutes to get him to calm down. I should be fine." Lock said giving her a small smile. He reached a hand out and gently stroked her cheek.

"What's wrong with the beast? Why would he want out now?" Aleana asks, seeming curious even as she shivers at him touch, very aware.

"I don't know. I only know that he likes to be known." Lock said with a small shrug. His breathing returned to normal and he relaxed a little. "That is better."

"Will he hurt anyone if he gets out? And isn't he still part of you?" Aleana asks, petting his chest still.

"He wouldn't hurt anyone. And he is like my animal spirit and sometimes he need to get out. He is a little more wild and way stronger. He makes me do strange things like sleep at the foot of the bed or dig in the yard." Lock said with another shrug.

Aleana chuckles. "That sounds oddly... cute. That probably sounds weird but. And wilder? Stronger?" she asks, seeming disbelieving.

"Oh you probably don't remember when I was trying to stop you from killing my family. If you had you may have noticed that I was not exactly in control. I could have really hurt you if I wanted to. Only I didn't. I wanted to keep you safe even though you were a threat to me." Lock said and nodded lightly.

Aleana closes her eyes, although after a flash of pain in her eyes. "I'm sorry Lock." she says, voice tense as if she was about to sob. She buries her face into his chest and begins to cry.

"I didn't make to feel you bad. I just wanted to give you an example." Lock said with a light sigh. He nuzzled her neck gently and stroked her hair.

"I'm so sorry Lock. I wish I hadn't tried to hurt your family..." Aleana cries, running her hands over his chest even as she cries, more in a way of reaching for comfort.

Lock pulled her gently into his arms and cuddled her slightly. "It is all right. I still love you and they are fine. Although Zaria must be pretty upset with me for missing her wedding."

Aleana gasps, "Oh god I'm sorry. I didn't mean to keep you from your sister's wedding!"

"It is not your fault. I have missed out on a lot being king. I seem to be busy a lot and I never get to see my family. That is why it took me so long to track Zaria down." Lock said giving a light shrug.

Aleana smiles. "Well I'm here to help you now if you want."

Lock gave her a bright smile. "I supouse you are. I have never really thought about having a queen. But you would make an excelent one. Not to mention a beautiful woman such as you." He pulled her closer and kissed up her neck. "I love you."
