Asha gave a little shake of her head. "My father would kill you no matter who or what you were. Any time I spend with men is strictly chaperoned. Well, our lessons obviously aren't, but at least half of the interruptions you've seen are my father's doing," she told him frankly.
"You really don't have to apologize though. It didn't really occur to me that you were holding back intentionally, but it isn't as if you've done anything wrong. And you have a good point about our demons. I've been distracting and compromising with mine to keep her from getting too rowdy."
Then, suddenly, Asha couldn't help laughing. "Oh, insisting are we?" Asha teased as she returned his kiss and pressed closer, barely balancing on the edge of the bath now, a little noise of protest leaving her when he pulled back to speak again.
As his words registered however, her eyes softened a bit, and she let one of her hands drop from his hair to caress his cheek. "I want that too," she reassured him.
"I know I might not seem it right now, but you can thank my horny demon for that, and I'm hoping she'll settle now that she's finally getting what she's wanted the last three months. I'll even sit down and see what I can come up with for a schedule so we can balance things, if you'll let me know your availability."
"That explains quite a bit," Xarakas chuckled as she explained that her father was responsible for the interruptions in her training lessons, offering her a faint smile as she explained that she'd been attempting to distract and compromise her own demon, much like what he was doing with his own. "I'm sure we'll be able to get a handle on our demons eventually."
"Yes, insisting," he teased with a laugh, committing to taking her in his arms again, hands resting underneath her thighs to support her as he kissed her again, offering her a smile as he leaned his head into her touch.
"I know, Asha. But there's no need for a schedule. My schedule is dependent on what my patron requires and expects of me, and the arena schedule, so I might not know my availability in advance," he explained, pressing another kiss to her lips as he tugged her close. "But enough about schedules."
"He's not very trusting of anyone outside our family," Asha said apologetically, nodding as he spoke about their demons. "Hopefully," she said, wrapping her legs around his waist when he picked her up again to help alleviate some of the weight he had to support.
"Well, if you're insisting we need to be physical, I'm going to insist on something myself," she said, lifting her hands to run her fingers into his hair again as she pressed a deep kiss to his lips.
