Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Crow waited for Olivia to come with the remainder of the chicken. He tore off a wing and took a bite, “You said I’d get first pick of the food if I helped you prepare it.”

“Oops,” the knight shrugged. “Looks like I’ll just have to make it up to you somehow.”

“That you will,” he chuckled. “I take food very seriously, love.”

As the thief ate, he found his eyes wandering back to Penelope. He frowned when he found her sitting alone by the wagon. Why did she go off by herself? He wondered. Suddenly, his chest tightened. Did she see…? On no. Crow paled. He had thought the knights weren’t looking when he kissed Olivia! She must have looked up right when he closed his eyes. He kicked himself mentally. He should have been more careful, but he was too caught up in his impatient lust. It was hard for him to keep his hands off the woman with the way she kept throwing herself at him.

But he couldn’t talk to her yet. It was too much of a risk. He didn’t want to lose his shot at Olivia by abandoning her for Penelope. He forced himself to turn away from her, to not focus on her disappointment. Instead, he watched as Olivia finished the last of her chicken. It was almost time.

“You’re a surprisingly light eater,” the knight commented, noticing how little Crow had taken from the remaining food.

“I guess I’m just not hungry,” he replied with a false air of casualty.

“Well, I’ll save you the leftovers,” she bundled up the rest of chicken in a cloth. “In case you work up an appetite later.” She winked at him and got up, walking over to talk to William. He could hear their conversation from where he sat near the fire pit:

“I’m going for a little midnight stroll,” Olivia’s voice chirped. “And I want to take your thief with me.”

“Why would you want to do that?” William grunted in response. “He’s a pest—” He paused, and Crow could picture him narrowing his eyes at the other knight. “You wouldn’t. Olivia, you’re a knight of Brerra. Don’t disgrace yourself with a criminal.”

“William!” Olivia gasped in mock astonishment. “How could you think that? I only want to talk to him. I’ve never gotten the chance to interview a thief before. I’m interested to hear why he chose such a depraved lifestyle.”

“Good luck getting any information out of him. The king kept that nuisance locked up for a year without learning so much as a single detail.”

“I’ll try my best. So, does that mean I have your permission?”

“Sure,” William sighed. “Just don’t be long, and don’t wander too far off. I’ll have Penelope stay awake in case you need help. She has a way with the thief that I don’t understand.”

“Thank you!” Crow could hear Olivia’s footsteps as she returned to the fire pit. She bent down to whisper, “Time to go, sweetie.”

The thief rose to his feet and grinned at her, “Congratulations on outsmarting William.”

“It wasn’t too difficult. He’s very trusting of his equals. Now come on, you don’t want to keep a lady waiting, do you?”

“Of course not,” Crow followed her to the tree line, casting a final glance at Penelope before they disappeared into the forest. Sorry, love. I hope you won’t be too upset with me for this…

Crow might have made the situation worse if Penelope saw what he just did xD

Olivia continued chatting to Crow about her techniques for cooking chicken in a bonfire while Penelope sat nearby. She occasionally shot the other knight smug glances and touched the thief seductively, brushing his hair from his face, resting her hand on his back, and speaking closely to his face. It was no secret what she was trying to do in his mind: She was showing off to Penelope. They were good friends, but the two women were rivals. It probably frustrated Penelope to see her friend spending time wit someone she disliked.

Crow’s suspicions were confirmed when the knight got up and walked over to join William and Abraxas in their conversation. As soon as she was gone, Olivia’s demeanor changed. She pursed her lips, “Are you still going to tell me you don’t have feelings for Penelope?”

“I told you before, love,” Crow met her dark eyes, leaning in close and smiling coyly. “We’re. Just. Friends.”

“Good to know,” Olivia leaned closer as well, placing her mouth near his cheek. “So we’re still on for tonight, I presume?”

“Of course,” the thief replied softly.

“Fantastic,” she nuzzled her cheek against his, exhaling seductively into his ear. “After dinner, I’ll tell William I’m going for a walk and I’d like you to accompany me. Then, we’ll go back to my camp and… you know.”

“Can’t wait,” he shivered as she planted a kiss on his cheek. Oh, how he had missed the touch of a woman. It almost melted away his discomfort with making Penelope upset. He glanced at the other knights to make sure they weren’t looking—he didn’t want to ruin their night by alerting William to their true intentions—before he placed a hand on Olivia’s waist and pulled her close. She giggled. The thief traced his free hand along her jaw to tilt her chin upwards towards his face, speaking slowly as he did so, “How about a little teaser, hm?” With that, he pressed his lips against hers. They kissed passionately for a moment before separating again.

“Mm,” the knight sighed. “Not bad for a man who spent a year in a prison cell.”

“Darling, that’s just the beginning,” he said with a wink.

“Show me what you’ve got, thief,” Olivia smirked. She bent down to check on the cooking chicken. “Perfect timing. It looks like dinner is ready.” She took the food off of the spit it was roasting on and brought it over to the other knights, “Who’s ready to eat?”

Oh, nice. I think one of my other friends is the same as you.

Got my reply done! Olivia is so blunt about her intentions xD

“That’s good,” Crow said when Penelope told him about how her shoulder didn’t hurt as much as it had the day before. He gingerly touched the burns on his arms. They still pained him like a bad sunburn, but he didn’t think they would hold him up when he went to raid the Younisian king’s palace. He looked back at the knight. He knew it would be too much to expect her to perform at one hundred percent so soon after getting cut by a sword—whenever he had wounds that severe, it always took him a month to fully recover at least—but he hoped she would at least be able to keep up with him if she had to.

“Guess who’s back?” Olivia’s sing-song voice cut through the silence. The knight had changed clothes. Instead of the cloak and masculine clothes from before, she now wore a very form-fitting shirt and a calf-length skirt. She held up a plucked chicken by the legs, presenting it as if it were a trophy. “And I brought dinner!” Her eyes fell on Crow and Penelope, who were still sitting together by the fire. She pursed her lips for a moment, as if an unpleasant thought crossed her mind, then returned to her usual bubbly self. She stepped over to the two, putting herself between them, and crouched down to look Crow in the eye, “Want to help me cook it? I’ll let you have first pick of the meat if you do.”

The thief hesitated, torn between his desire for Olivia and his loyalty to Penelope. He frowned, a bit surprised by his own thought. Loyalty… that was a word he never imagined he would use to describe himself. He had always been a loner, looking out for no one but himself. Whenever he wanted something, he would take it without a care as to how his actions would impact anyone else. But now that he was friends with Penelope, it was hard for him to get back into that mentality.

But still… Crow bit his lip, his green eyes fixed on Olivia’s attractive body. It wasn’t everyday a beautiful woman wanted to spend a night with him, and he couldn’t deny that he wanted to be with her. It had been so long. “Alright,” he answered her, glancing back at Penelope for a second before climbing to his feet. As guilty as he felt for choosing Olivia over Penelope, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Besides, why should he ask for permission when he could always ask for forgiveness later, right?

“Wonderful,” the dark-haired knight exclaimed happily. She tossed an unrestrained smirk at Penelope before inching closer to the thief, brushing her shoulder against his. “Now then, I’ll teach you some tricks to make it taste better…”

Sorry for not having my post done by now! I got into a lengthy debate with a friend from college about evolution and climate change xD
I'm an ENTP (Debater) personality, so I love arguing with people about stuff.
I didn't realize we were going at it for so long though, my goodness. I'll get started now!

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

Thanks, haha.
I have diverse taste in music. I'll listen to pretty much anything except for bluegrass and heavy/death metal (much to the bf's disappointment lol), so having a playlist with lots of different genres works well for me :p

I think EDM is my favorite and probably makes up at least 40% of my playlist though

Ooh, I've heard good things about Hamilton! I have some friends from school who are obsessed with it, but I've never seen it, myself. I think my favorite so far is Phantom of the Opera because I saw that one live on Broadway. It was amazing <3

Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

A lot xD
I currently have 370 songs; about 22 hours of music on Spotify
I just added some Nick Jonas, Jonas Blue, Fitz and the Tantrums, Yellow Claw, Major Lazer, etc...

I never take anything off, and I've been working on it for like a year, so it's almost stupidly diverse xD

There's everything from country to rock to electro swing to metal (courtesy of my bf, who's a metalhead) xD
I love it

Right now it's playing "I Would Walk 500 Miles"
