Abrei

Abrei was struggling to get her hair into a braid when U'kaiah arrived at her door, snarling her frustration as the slippery strands of hair kept escaping her fingers no matter how hard she attempted to keep them in order. "How do women do this every day?" was the first thing she said, letting go of her hair in frustration. "I'm going to cut it all off, I swear."

"Oh, don't do that. You know, I love your hair." Not that _his_ loving her hair was much reason for her to keep it. "Do you want me to do that?"

"Please." She tore her fingers through her hair, tugging the tangled start of her braid out impatiently. "I want it out of my face."

"All right, all right." The bronzerider stepped up behind her and separated her hair into three parts. Now what? Which one was first?
Right or left? Distract her! "So how are things? I haven't seen you in a while."

Abrei shrugged. "Things are... I don't know. I have nothing to do. They won't let me work, they won't let me study... they won't even let me drink."

"Well, I'm sure they let you do _some_ things right?" After all, she was a woman in her prime. Even if she didn't take advantage of that fact as much as he thought she should. Perhaps she wouldn't have developed an ulcer if she had a little more stress relief in her life.

"Yes, I'm allowed to have sex," she replied, twisting her head to make a face at him and effecitvly tugging her hair out of his hands. Then she laughed. "Though you know, they might not approve of how I'm doing it...
M'galec certainly wouldn't."

"How you are doing it?" Oh dear, what had Abrei gotten herself into now?

Abrei shrugged. "The way everyone else in the Weyr does. I don't have anything better to do with my time anymore, after all."

Thank Faranth she was finally trying out other men! U'kaiah had worried about her for a while there... "Then why would anyone disapprove? I mean, its only natural, isn't it?"

"Well, I'm still sort of working out the details..." Hair forgotten, Abrei squirmed around to face him. "Not the sex part, that I understand.
But how you instigate it and how you extricate yourself... I'm having a harder time with that."

"You are having problems extricating yourself from your lovers?" Count on Abrei to describe flirtation, seduction and morning goodbyes in such technical terms. "How have you been instigating and extricating yourself so far?"

"Awkwardly," she replied, making a face. "The instigating part seems to work even when it's awkward, but I wouldn't mind learning how to ask someone to have sex without actually, you know, literally asking them to have sex."

"Just coming right out and asking seems to work well for you." It sure turned _him_ on. "But I can see why you would want to learn more about flirting. Well, give me a demonstration. Ask me to have sex with you, but don't use any words at all."

Abrei stared at him blankly for a moment. Then she shrugged, reached up to wrap her fingers in his tunic and yanked him onto the bed with her.

"Well, that's certainly one way," U'kaiah nodded as he propped himself up on his elbow. "You might think about pulling a little bit more gently. Not that what you just did wouldn't work, but maybe try gently pulling on the hands. Gently pulling the hands is more of a 'let's take our time and enjoy an evening together' as versus the tunic tugging 'take me now'. Can you understand the subtle difference?"

"I suppose." She toyed with the laces on his tunic absently. "Body language is not something I've ever understood, you know. I don't know if it's something you really can just... learn."

"Well, you know, you just have to start thinking how _he_ thinks," he said as he reached up to brush the hairs falling into her face away.
His fingers drifted around the back of her neck, gently massaging.
"See, your playing with the laces of my tunic like that, might make me think that you want to pull at a couple and see what's behind them."

Her eyes drifted half shut as his fingers soothed the tense muscles of her neck. "But I already know what's behind them." Which didn't mean she would mind seeing it again... Her fingers tugged at the first lace.

"See, now _that_ is how you ask for sex without saying the words.
Little things. Or like this," his fingers turned from soothing to caressing. "This is one way I can tell you that I want you."

She sighed in pleasure and tilted her head to the side. "Like this?" Her finger traced the neckline of his tunic, just the barest hint of her fingernail scraping along his skin.

"Yes, this, my dear Abrei, is foreplay. This is how you tell someone you want more than just a chat tonight. You know another nice tactic?
Whispering in a person's ear." He leaned forward and let his lips and breath tickle her lobe as he murmured in a low voice, "It puts you in such close proximity to all kinds of pleasure spots." The bronzerider's lips trailed along her neck in demonstration. Abrei had learned best, he had found, through specific examples.

Abrei reciprocated, letting her lips brush his ear. "So you want me to do everything to you that you do to me?" she whispered, hoping her breath tickled his ear just as entrancingly as his had hers. Just in case it didn't, she let her teeth catch the lobe of his ear lightly.

"Well, I think we're into the sex part now, and I don't think you'll need to much help with that." In fact, he _knew_ she didn't. At least not the basic techniques. "But if you want I could direct you through a couple of the finer points. And you could make a young harper's fantasies all come true."

She pulled back and gave him an amused look. "What sort of fantasies?"

Oh yes... this was going to be _fun_!!!
