[indent][indent]The directions Heather had given Natalia had led her to a dirt lane that offered more beautiful scenes of the reservation’s forest greenery. A comforting familiarity struck Tal as she drove down the road, and she found herself smiling fondly as she remembered the feeling of that Tuesday morning breeze on her skin, arms wrapped around her beloved Dolcezza stealing her from her misery and away to their private paradise. Her reminiscences were sometimes interrupted by muttered curse words under her breath whenever her Navigator was victimized by a pothole, but not even that could damper her optimistic mood. With the spirits and best wishes of her mother and Charlie as her guiding light, Tal was ready to take the gamble and give herself another chance at finding happiness.

Even with her slow driving in the bumpy roads, Natalia’s arrival to Silverheel happened faster than she had anticipated. The nerves she’d been brushing off came back in full force as she parked in front of the large ranch home, and her heart skipped a few beats when she noticed Tena’s bike parked beside the front porch. Good; that meant she was home. With this confirmation of her lover’s presence nearby, Tal took a few seconds to reapply her lip gloss and shake off the jitters with a few puffs of her vape before exiting the vehicle, holding the beautiful [url=https://pixnio.com/free-images/flora-plants/flowers/cactus-pictures/cactus-picture.jpg]potted cactus plant[/url] she’d brought for Tena as a gift in her hands.

Mitena arose from her knees, wiping the heavy sweat from her brow with her forearm. Plucking weeds from the dirt was hard damn work, but the front garden was her late mother’s baby, and Tena had made a promise to herself that she would do everything she could to maintain its beauty. The hot summer sun was at its peak above her head and bearing down upon her with his incredible heat. She could feel her form fitting denim shorts clinging to her lower body even more than they were designed to and her loose button down shirt was open to reveal her bra and allow what little breeze there was to cool her body.

Her hands covered in dirt, Tena turned into the sun with a smile on her face. The Silverheel ranch had been in her family for centuries. If the elders of the tribe are to be believed, the first Silverheels settled in this land after the exodus from what is now Edenridge after the youngest of their number, Aponi, was hung, and the indigenous people were driven away by the pilgrim armies of Judge Nathaniel Carlisle. Their name, Silverheel, came from this very spot when they found silver in the Earth; which, when sold to the white man, helped fund the building of the original reservation and moved its people out of teepees and into actual homes. Now in the modern era, there were bigger, more profitable ranches like the Coldwind’s and the Tatanka’s, and Jadyn was using this place for her drug-growing business. But at the end of the day, Silverheel was still helping keep the reservation and its people alive. 

When the sun finally left her gaze, Tena was treated to an incredibly welcome sight when she saw Natalia standing at the foot of the path. This only made the raven haired girl's smile even brighter. [color=BB986B]“Stargirl.”[/color] She couldn’t mask her excitement at seeing the girl of her dreams walking back down her way.

The green-eyed girl watched Mitena approach her with a dumb, wide grin on her face. Even with the veil of lust from the time they first met now lifted, the Native girl was just as beautiful as she remembered. The rays of sunlight radiating down around them did a wonderful job in highlighting the shininess of her dark hair, in illuminating her mesmerizing brown eyes, and in making the little beads of sweat on her sun-kissed skin look like dewdrops on a flower petal. Her blouse was open to reveal her stunning upper body, and her denim shorts hugged her feminine curves perfectly while showing off those toned, thick legs. But it was the way the woman was smiling at her, with such genuine delight and excitement, what made the Eden girl truly weak at the knees.

Wiping her hands on the towel she had hanging from her back pocket, Mitena walked forward to meet Tal halfway. [color=BB986B]“Heather texted me and said that there was a pretty girl asking for me at Aponi’s. I can say unequivocally that I’m very happy that it was you.”[/color]

That declaration about Heather's text made Tal chuckle. [color=7B68EE]"Really? So does that mean there are other pretty girls chasing you or asking around about you that I have to be worrying about?"[/color] The tall girl joked, sticking her tongue out at Tena.

[color=BB986B]“Oh, sure.”[/color] Tena stopped a few feet away from Natalia and placed her hands on her hips. [color=BB986B]“They usually don’t get here until after I’ve finished my gardening though…but I suppose the early bird gets the worm.”[/color] The indigenous girl tilted her head ever so slightly as her big doe eyes drank in the visage of her Stargirl. Natalia was just as beautiful and as perfect as she remembered her being during their night and day together. [color=BB986B]“Are you here to chase me, Stargirl?”[/color] She said with a small bite of her lower lip and a flutter of her eyes. [color=BB986B]“If you are then you beat me to the punch since I was coming to chase you as soon as I was done here.”[/color]

Although Natalia kept a straight face, the mental arguments had started. The little monster of cynicism that lived inside Tal’s head was quick to snort at Tena's comment about chasing her. [i]I'm sure you were...[/i] the little devil on her shoulder jeer at her. Who in their right mind would purposely set out to seek [i]her[/i]? She wasn't nice. She wasn't kind. She wasn't independent. She was an insecure, jealous, paranoid, doped-up mess with nothing to offer. The angel on her shoulder, though, was quick to silence the negative voices. Why would Tena lie about that-- or anything, for that matter? In the short time since they had known each other, the woman had been nothing but honest and truthful with her. So if she said she'd been planning to chase her, then that meant she was probably going to do as she said. 

Trying to keep her mental angel and the reason why she was here at the forefront of her mind, Tal shifted her sole focus back on the beauty in front of her. [color=7B68EE]"Well it's a good thing I caught you now while you're still gardening, then. That means you'll know exactly what to do with this,"[/color] she replied with a timid smile, presenting Tena with the cute potted gift she'd procured for her and praying it was to her liking.

Mitena’s tongue rolled across her lip as her smile brightened more, her doe eyes gazing upon the small flowered cactus in Natalia’s hands. [color=BB986B]“Oh Tal, is this for me?”[/color] She could feel her cheeks flushing with warmth and excitement. Her heart was bubbling with giddiness as she closed the space between them and took a hold of the potted plant, placing her hands over Natalia’s as she did so. [color=BB986B]“I love it, thank you so much.”[/color] Tena wasn’t going to starve her fire or oxygen. Carefully, she leaned over the sharp needles of the baby cacti and pressed her mouth against Tal’s, breathing in her lips in a loving kiss. 

A wave of relief and excitement washed over Natalia as Mitena expressed her delight with the small surprise she’d been presented with. The gift had been an impulsive purchase made at Hummingbird Creations during Tal’s drive to Blue Hill. She’d remembered seeing a few cactuses and succulents decorating Tena’s room and hearing her mention they were her favorites, so she thought that it would be a sweet gesture to add another to her lover’s collection. And judging by Tena’s reaction and the way she was kissing her, it looked like her move had been the right one to make.

Tena was not afraid of being forward, especially with Natalia. From the moment she saw her in that bathroom, Mitena had held her face in her mind and with every moment since it had expanded to fill her entire being. She was falling hard for the Stargirl, her train had come off the tracks and was careening off of a cliff and she didn’t want to pull that emergency break. This feeling in her heart, she wanted it to keep going, keep growing and never stop. [color=BB986B]“I know the perfect place for this.”[/color] Tena broke the kiss for only a moment to speak before pressing a soft, light peck on Natalia’s lips once more. [color=BB986B]“Follow me, Stargirl.”[/color] 

She turned happily on her heel, looking over her shoulder and back at the alabaster goddess before skipping into the main ranch house. Making sure her lover was behind her, Mitena led Tal towards the back of the first floor, past where Tena slept and the stairs that went up to the second floor. Finally when the girls stopped, they stood before a door with intricate patterns carved into the very wood itself and various decorations hanging from it. The singer pushed down on the handle and allowed the old oak wood to fall open by itself, revealing another bedroom. It was steeped in white and sky blue colors and drowned in fresh flowers and traditional native decorations such as dream catchers and woven quilts. [color=BB986B]“This is perfect.”[/color] She beamed. [color=BB986B]“Go on, find a place for it.”[/color]

An aura of peace and cheerfulness seemed to linger in the air and wrap itself around them as Tal stepped into the room she’d been led to by her beloved. [color=7B68EE]"This is a beautiful bedroom,”[/color] she muttered in audible admiration, green eyes drinking in the details of her new surroundings. The choice of colors in the wall made the area feel inviting and cozy, while the selection of flowers and traditional decor added life, charm and character to the space. As she surveyed the area, she couldn’t help but wonder who this lovely spot belonged to.

After some scouting, Talia located an opening on a windowsill that would be perfect to showcase the beauty of the gift. By sitting in between, it would compliment the other two small potted flowers already residing there beautifully. [color=7B68EE]“What about here?”[/color] the green-eyed woman asked Tena, walking over to the spot in question and pointing at it. [color=7B68EE]“It’s got just enough sunlight to hopefully keep it alive.”[/color]

[color=BB986B]“I think that’s exactly where it belongs.”[/color] Mitena traced her fingernails down Natalia’s arm as she placed the baby cactus onto the windowsill, overlooking the rambling field of the ranch, lit bright by the sun and sitting strong beneath the shadows of the Blue Hills. In Tena’s mind, the potted plant wasn’t the only thing that had found its way home. As her big doe eyes looked lovingly at the Eden girl, she couldn’t help but be overcome with the feeling that Natalia herself belonged there too. From the moment they met, the indigenous singer had been head over heels for the brunette and she knew that wherever Tal went, if Tena was with her she would be at home. She loved the Rez and its people with all her heart but anywhere with Natalia was where she wanted to be.

Stepping behind her Stargirl, Mitena wrapped her arms around the gorgeous woman’s slender waist and kissed beneath her ear, right on top of a little freckle that lived there. [color=BB986B]“This was my mother's room.”[/color] She said resting her chin on the taller girl's shoulder. [color=BB986B]“She loved to garden. That’s why we always put fresh flowers in here when we can.”[/color] Tena let out a soft little chuckle as a thought crossed her mind. [color=BB986B]“My cousin Illy has an eye for interior design, hence why it looks so pretty in here and my room looks like a nuclear bomb went off in there.”[/color]

Natalia couldn’t help but smile at Tena’s words as she rested her head on hers. The more she and the Native girl interacted, the more she believed they were connected by forces beyond their comprehension. What were the odds that she’d be shown this memorial bedroom on the same day that a promise to her own mother had led her here? Some people would call it coincidence, others would call it a fluke. Tal was calling it destiny.

[color=7B68EE]“Your cousin’s a very talented girl, then,”[/color] the green-eyed girl complimented the woman, softly kissing the top of Tena’s dark-haired head. [color=7B68EE]“And from what you’ve told me about your mom, I think she would love the way you guys are keeping her memory alive here. I just wish I could have met one of the people responsible for creating the jewel of a woman currently standing beside me. She sounds like she was just as lovely as you are.”[/color]

As kind as Natalia’s words were, there was a hint of sadness washing over Tena as she thought about her mother; Dakota. She was a wonderful woman, a doctor who gave everything she was to her patients. What she lacked in resources she made up for in drive, tenacity and sheer love for her fellow man. Mitena knew some things about her father, mostly whispers. She knew that he had a poet's soul, like her brother and that he sought to help people when he could. The problem for James seemed to be he couldn’t help himself. She had lost both her parents and her brother, yet Tena did not feel alone because she knew they were with her always, watching her and guiding her into the arms of Natalia.

[color=BB986B]“Lovelier.”[/color] She smiled at the press of Tal’s lips on her head. The warmth she radiated into her being filled her from toe to crown. Letting go of her Stargirl, not without dragging her fingers over soft skin, Mitena walked to the dresser and rested her hand next to a [url=https://www.theplace2.ru/cache/archive/julia_jones/img/43650055-2735986-gthumb-gwdata1200-ghdata1200-gfitdatamax.jpg]photograph[/url]. [color=BB986B]“This is her. Her name was Dakota.”[/color] She beamed as she looked at the image of her mother. Everyday her face faded a little more from her memory but the love she gave her could never leave.

Natalia took a moment to examine the photo Mitena was presenting. It was clear where her lover's looks came from. The sharp-jawed, slim woman in the photograph posing with a tan jacket off the shoulder was another Native beauty with dark hair, tanned skin and deep, soulful brown eyes. It wasn’t hard to tell that Tena’s radiance came from her, nor was it hard to see what James Decker could've seen in her.

After caressing the image for a second, Mitena strolled back over to Natalia and took her hands between her own. [color=BB986B]“You traveled all this way, so it can’t have just been to see me. What’s on your mind?”[/color]

The Eden native couldn't help but smile at the other girl’s correct assumption. Leave it to Tena to accurately guess her intentions. [color=7B68EE]"It's funny you brought me to this specific room today of all days, because I'm partly here due to a promise I made to my own mom of having her meet you,"[/color] Tal began, caressing the back of Tena's hand with her thumb and tucking a strand of the Native girl's hair behind her ear. It was time to allow herself to be vulnerable and hope for the best.

[color=7B68EE]"You came into my life when I was in the middle of a very dark place. I've been going through some things: some I've told you about, and some I don't feel ready to just yet. And I've felt so alone throughout everything, all because I isolated myself from the people I care about with the way I acted like a bitch throughout the years. But then you came along, when I was least expecting it. For the first time in a while I felt safe enough to be raw and vulnerable about what I think and how I feel with someone. You take my breath away with how beautiful you are since I first laid eyes on you, and every time I've looked at you since. But it's the way you've treated me with such kindness, tenderness and respect that has captivated me since the night we met. I know we've only known each other for a little while, and that I might come off as impulsive by saying all of this, but you haven't left my mind since I met you… And I don't really want you to."[/color] Tal trailed off, taking in and letting out a deep sigh as the butterflies inside her stomach fluttered with nerves. This was it. [color=7B68EE]"So that's why I came all the way here today: to see if you'd be interested in going out with me, and being exclusive. We can take some time to get to know each other and see where this goes."[/color]

She said them. Natalia said the words that Tena had been waiting to hear since the moment they met. She wanted them to date, proper, full on, real, live and in color. Knowing what little she did of her Stargirl’s past, Mitena had no question that Tal saying the words out loud was a huge step for her. She also knew that Silvia did not have long left and that her words would carry an insurmountable weight with Natalia; the native girl knew that feeling. When her own mother passed, Mitena was not offered the chance to say goodbye. Her last living memory of her Mom was not anything significant or heartwarming, it wasn’t cute nor spiritual. It simply was. She was happy Tal was using the time she had left with her Mom better than Tena did.

[color=BB986B]“You have no idea how much I wanted to hear that.”[/color] She spoke in exasperation before bringing her hands to Natalia’s face and pulling her into a deep kiss. With fire in her lungs, Tena savored every second that their lips caressed one another, that they shared one breath and one heartbeat. Staring into Tal’s big green eyes she tried to talk but could only manage a small whimper first before she found her voice. [color=BB986B]“When I look into those eyes of yours, I see potential. I see infinite possibilities in an endless cosmos and I want to explore it with you.”[/color] She traced her finger for Tal’s painted lips, desperate to kiss them again but first she had to say what she needed to say. [color=BB986B]“I see you, Natalia. I see you and I can’t stop seeing you. You’re everywhere. You’ve captured me: mind, body and spirit. I want to do this with you: be with you. The good, the bad, the secrets and scars. I want to share them all. I’m yours, Stargirl.”[/color] 

Tena couldn’t deny how fast things were moving with her Stargirl. But she also couldn’t deny her feelings-- that was one thing she could never do. Being with Tal brought out a fire, a feeling of elation and joy. Mitena had never felt anything like it before. And she had to be honest with herself in saying Natalia was an addiction that she did not want to give up. 

The green eyes that were locked with Mitena's brown orbs had filled and overflowed with tears of happiness as Natalia moved to embrace her [i]girlfriend[/i]. Any worries or second thoughts that remained in her heart about Tena not feeling the same way she did had vanished as she listened to the other woman’s beautiful words. She spoke with such certainty and conviction in her voice, showing no signs of doubt or hesitation about wanting to commit herself to Natalia. To Tal, it was admirable how the other woman had the capacity to open her heart out to her so freely and  openly. She was not afraid to say how she felt; and, more importantly, it was clear that her statements were honest and true. Tena [i]wanted[/i] to be with her-- wanted to [i]be[/i] hers…

[color=7B68EE]"Just like I'll be all yours, too, Dolcezza."[/color] she replied to Tena out loud as she pulled away slightly from their embrace, holding her close and briefly kissing her lips again. [color=7B68EE]"Even if I'm absolutely fucking terrified about not knowing what happens next."[/color]

[color=BB986B]“Not knowing what comes next is what makes life a great adventure.”[/color] Mitena smiled brightly as she took a hold of both of Natalia’s hands and stepped backwards to lead her out of her late mothers room. Turning to face the other way but keeping their fingers interlocked, the singer coyly looked over her shoulder with her doe eyes shining with playfulness. [color=BB986B]“Feel free to watch my ass while we walk, girlfriend. It’s yours now.”[/color] Tena swayed her hips to tease her lover as she guided her towards the small bedroom towards the front of the property, her bedroom. Once inside, she closed the door behind them and stood silently for a moment as she watched Tal explore it in the light of day.

Much like her older brother, Mitena’s room was a tragic mess of organized chaos. Beyond the clothes strewn across the room, there were old records littered everywhere, she had several guitars both attached to the wall and simply leaning up against dusty amps that hadn’t seen the light of day in years. On the window overlooking part of the farm, trophies from her time in gymnastics and track. The walls were adorned in traditional hand made native decor and one wall was covered in photographs of Tena with people from her life, the center photograph being of her mother with a space next to it.

The last time Natalia had been inside this bedroom, there hadn't been much time for dwindling on its contents. Both her and Tena had gone inside of it in the middle of the night with a purpose, and it [i]wasn't[/i] to linger around doing show and tell. Today, with the afternoon sunlight illuminating the room, the taller woman took the opportunity presented to her to get a better insight on her newly designated girlfriend.

Like in Dakota's bedroom, the native decor on the walls gave the room charm and personality. The clothes on the floor weren't a turnoff for Tal-- the only time there wasn't at least one garment on the floor of her own bedroom was when there were anticipated guests coming over. She'd been told about Tena's penchant for collecting records (like a certain someone they both knew), but she was surprised with the amount she could see scattered about. More impressive than that were the amount of gymnastics and track awards by the window, because when their conversations had shifted to discuss their athletic abilities, Tena had been pretty modest about her accomplishments. But it was the wall of photographs that captured Tal's attention the most.

The Italian girl felt a stab in her chest as she stared at the pictures of people she did and didn't recognize, all frozen in the middle of times from the past and the present. It was these moments when wished she hadn't spent so many years at odds with those she cared about; that she'd made an effort to forgive any transgressions committed by or against her in favor of cherishing the relationships. Maybe then she could look back at the times of yesterday without so much guilt and even more regrets. 

Instead of dampening the mood with her retrospection, Tal chose to push the thoughts aside to dissect another day and focus on the present. [color=7B68EE]"What's this space here for?"[/color] she asked her girlfriend, pointing at the blank space next to the heartfelt photograph of a younger Tena with her arms wrapped around Dakota.

[color=BB986B]“I’m not sure yet.”[/color] Mitena smiled as she came up behind her girlfriend, wrapping her arms around Tal’s gorgeous waist and pressing soft, light kisses to the warm skin of her exposed back. [color=BB986B]“Every picture on the wall means something or shows a moment or a person that I wanted to remember exactly as it was. I thought maybe if I could I’d find a picture of my Dad or maybe even Charlie...”[/color] She trailed off for a moment as her thoughts lingered on her lost family. Tena did her best not to dwell on the life she didn’t have and focus on the one she did, yet it didn’t make it any less difficult when those thoughts popped into her head.

At least with Charlie Jay, Mitena was finding out more each day. From Natalia and Penelope and his other heart pieces she was finding out the man her big brother was. Her dark eyes glanced at the book on her bedside table, his novel, his innermost thoughts and feelings transformed into one of the most moving things she’d ever read. When it came to her father, James, there was so much Tena didn’t know, so much that she wasn’t allowed to know because he had brought great shame to their tribe and been labeled craven. He had been expunged from their society for his actions and the love of a father had been taken away from Mitena before she was even born.

Yet none of that mattered as much anymore. The heiress to the Silverheel had found someone whose love could fill her up in ways that she had never imagined before. The alabaster girl wrapped up in her arms shone a glorious, supernova of light onto Tena that completely enveloped her in its warmth. Together, they would float amongst the stars and write songs of infinite love. 

Posturing up on her tiptoes, the native girl's teeth teased Natalia’s ear with a light nibble, a joy of being smaller than her Amazon lover. [color=BB986B]“I might have to start a separate wall for everything you and I are going to do together, Stargirl.”[/color] She whispered before resting her chin on Tal’s shoulder and removing one of her arms to trace circles over the Eden girl's pale, befreckled back with her fingertips. 

Although the unexpected mention of Charlie did momentarily take her by surprise and tensed her up, Tena’s teasing was quick to pull her back to the present again. [color=7B68EE]"I just hope I don't disappoint you,"[/color] she heard herself muse out loud without really meaning to. While her Dolcezza's optimism about their newly officiated relationship was heartwarming, Tal couldn't help but let her insecurities momentarily get the best of her again. She cared about this girl so much: wanted to love her, protect her and bring only happiness to her life. But was she capable of doing such a thing in her current state?

[color=BB986B]“Enough of that talk.”[/color] Mitena turned Natalia around in her arms and used her hand to cup the beauty’s face. [color=BB986B]“I know this can be scary-- starting fresh, starting something new.”[/color] Her husky voice was gentle and soothing for her lover, her palm caressing Tal’s cheek with every word. [color=BB986B]“It’s just as terrifying for me as it is for you: I can promise you that, baby girl.”[/color] Tena starred up into those big green eyes and found the hope and the strength she needed inside of them, inside of Tal. The Italian woman would be the source of her strength and resolve because Tena knew that she was worth every second. [color=BB986B]“I meant what I said. I want to be all yours, and I want you to be all mine, and I want us to be [i]us[/i], together and striding forward into the future. [i]We are together[/i]. That’s all that matters. You found me, how could I ever be disappointed after that?”[/color]

Before Tena knew it, the hands of Natalia that had been resting on her hips as she spoke now moved to cup her face as the Belmonte girl passionately captured her lips with hers. How was it that this girl had an innate ability to pinpoint her necessities and give her what she needed? How was she able to find the perfect words to validate her feelings, sympathize with her and alleviate her concerns in just a few sentences? The idea of soulmates was one that, after so many failures and disappointments, the Italian girl had long since stopped believing in. Finding Mitena had changed that. She [i]was[/i] her soulmate, and she was so fucking excited to have found her.

[color=7B68EE]"You're amazing,"[/color] Tal murmured fervently after breaking the kiss, her forehead momentarily pressed to her girlfriend's before she locked her lips with hers deeply again. [color=7B68EE]"I'm so happy you said yes."[/color]

Mitena couldn’t hide her smile as her newly minted girlfriend kissed her. With every grace of their lips upon one another, the feeling inside the indigenous girl grew higher, stronger. The magic inside was indescribable and the more time that she spent with her Stargirl the more Tena couldn’t deny the fact that she was falling in love. She had never subscribed to the idea of love at first sight but in their all too brief encounters, Tal had done more to open Mitena’s mind and heart than anyone ever had before. 

[color=BB986B]“You think I’m amazing now?”[/color] Tena’s mouth lingered over Natalia’s, her dark eyes flickering with playfulness. As her hands dropped down from her lover's face and traveled down to her perfect hips, she would pull their bodies together tightly, getting a smile from the taller girl in response. [color=BB986B]“Baby you ain’t seen nothing yet.”[/color] Leaning back on her heel, Mitena pushed Tal backwards against her wall and allowed her hands to wander freely over the Italian temptress’ firm body, whose green eyes watched her intently with bated breath and her lower lip between her teeth. [color=BB986B]“If you really wanna impress me, how about taking me on a date?”[/color] She leaned and kissed her Stargirl’s neck on alternate sides between every word, earning herself a small whimper from her lover. [color=BB986B]“Hm?”[/color] Tena cocked her eyebrow inquisitively. [color=BB986B]“Show me off to your friends?”[/color]

One of Natalia's favorite things about Mitena was how bold and assertive she was with their physical affection. She could be the softest girl around one moment, tenderly wrapping Tal in her arms to cuddle her, caress her and kiss her gently. The next moment, she could be flipping the switch: letting lust and passion take over her actions and bringing her to submission. Allowing herself to surrender to the native girl's sensual authority was exhilarating to Tal: a high that took her places nothing else could. Letting Tena push her to wherever she wanted to, touch her however she wanted to, kiss her anywhere she wanted to… It was a feeling she couldn't get enough of, no matter how many times they made love to one another.

[color=7B68EE]"Only if you come spend a few nights back in Edenridge with me,"[/color] came Tal's suggestive response, letting her own hands travel down from Tena's back and to firmly grab the round curves of her behind. Smirking, the taller woman leaned forward and whispered a little afterthought in Tena's ear. [color=7B68EE]"[i]So I can show you off in the day and eat you out in the night…[/i]"[/color] before lightly nibbling on her earlobe.

As a hybrid combination of a giggle and a moan came up from her throat, the sensation of Tal’s lips on her ear and her hands on her rear forced the fog in Tena’s mind to clear. She had often wondered what Edenridge was like. There were few places that she wasn’t allowed to go as a younger but Eden was one. For years, she was told it was because it just wasn’t a good place but Mitena knew later on that it was likely that her tribe wanted to spare her the heartbreak of spying through the looking glass at the world and the skies that darkened her past. The difference was now she was a fully grown woman-- and Tena was a [i]strong[/i], grown-ass woman. She was a [i]curious[/i], grown-ass woman. She would allow Natalia to take her anywhere and she would follow her anywhere, but the opportunity to finally meet a past she never knew? That was too intriguing a chance to pass up.

[color=BB986B]“Sounds like a date to me. I guess I better pack…”[/color] Backing away from her lover, with kittenish eyes staring back at Natalia. Tena glanced down at her own skin, dirty from her time in the garden. [color=BB986B]“I’m so filthy.”[/color] She peeled off her already open button down shirt slowly, big brown eyes locked deep in worship of her Stargirl as her head tilted ever so slightly to the left. Flinging the garment over her shoulder, Mitena, fingers danced across her soft chest, sailed down the middle of it and to her toned stomach until it reached the waistband of her Daisy dukes. She turned on her heel, making sure that Tal drank in every inch of her visage and understood that as of now, it was hers and it belonged to her. Mitena was Natalia’s now.
