Aela watched him to see what effect her words had. His gaze was intimate as if his eyes were making love to hers. There was a long moment broken only by the sound of their breathing. She began to wonder if he was going to answer her. “what do you think?” he asked softly. She was fascinated by his face; it had character. Her eyes lingered on his lips. She raised one hand to run her thumb along his lower lip imagining their first kiss. It would start out softy and deepen becoming more passionate.
He had veiled his eyes seemingly content to let her touch him. She remembered how bold he had been in approaching her. “Now you are shy?” she teased. His eyes caught hers and held; he had the most expressive eyes she had ever gazed into. It was like he was baring his soul, holding back nothing. “Aela you’re so lovely” he said his voice barely above a whisper. She felt a smile teasing her lips “now you’re flattering me”.
She leaned closer feeling the heat radiating from him. Just as their lips were about to meet, Skjor cleared his throat; “how touching! Aela I need to speak with you.” Aela stiffened had he followed her here? She turned to see him standing in the doorway, watching the two of them coldly. Her features twisted slightly. “Now? Can’t it wait?” She asked. Skjor was adamant “It‘s important.”
Aela was in no mood to listen to him. But, he was her alpha. If the pack started ignoring their alpha it could be dangerous. She turned to Reljir “its important”. He started to reply but seemed to think the better of speaking and nodded. She seethed as she followed Skjor into the hall of the living quarters.
Abruptly he backed her into the wall in a show of dominance. She snarled but realized he was not backing down. She had two choices. She could challenge him for alpha or control her temper and listen to what he had to say. She lowered her eyes and lifted her chin, presenting her neck.
A few minuets passed before he seemed satisfied and stepped back. “Aela you do realize you were still under the lust of the hunt?” He asked. She relaxed a bit “At first yes, but it wore off”. He looked thoughtful as if considering her answer. His expression became guarded “So you plan to be with him?". She tried to reassure him “I don’t know, but whatever I decide, I‘m a big girl”.
His face became a bitter mask. “What about us?” He had managed to surprise her. Their brief affair had ended long ago. However, he had been her friend and hunting buddy for years. She didn’t want to hurt him, but refused to give false hope. “There is no us ” she reminded him gently.
She reached for his hand but he shook her off saying “Aela once you sleep with him, he will leave you for the next woman!. He has already been fickle to women in Whiterun even Njada!. ” She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, badly shaken by his last statement. She really wanted to explore this chemistry between herself and Reljir.
Skjor knew he was misleading her but he didn’t trust Reljir. As for Aela, he had her first and didn’t intend to give her up. Meanwhile, her eyes remained tightly closed refusing to look at him. “Aela at least think about it”. he suggested before leaving her there. He needed time to think.
