RIPTIDE - Neteyam fanfic

twelve

stelle' had made it to the spot a bit earlier to catch the last bit of the sunset as it set over the trees that surrounded her. She watched with a smile breathing in the fresh air.

She heard Neteyam come and felt as he sat behind her setting his legs to either of her sides and engulfing her in a hug.

She lay her head back on his shoulder with a chuckle. "Hello there"

He kissed her on the cheek and there was a moment of silence as they both watched the end of the sunset. It casted a pink glow on their spot. it was beautiful.

"I miss you when we are in public.", Neteyam whispered in her ear.

Stelle' knew that if it were up to him they'd be constantly holding hands and messing around even as people watched. " I know. I miss you too." She turned her body to face him so now her legs were wrapped loosely around his waist. "But all my parents see is a leader. That is all they care about. They don't see me and the person I love."

Neteyam's heart skipped a beat at the last word of that sentence. He cupped her face with his hands. "I see you." He said it slowly. With meaning. So she could capture every speck of importance and understanding those words held.

She sat looking at him mesmerized by how godly his features looked in the glow of the sunset. Mesmerized by the effect the words he said and how they said them had on her. Mesmerized by his touch. By feeling his legs brush against hers. By feeling his hands on her face. Mesmerized by him.

In that moment she wanted everyone to know he was hers. She wanted to shout it at the top of her lungs and write it on her skin.

She looked into his eyes spotting the love and lust in them which only made her want him more. He wanted every piece of her. He wanted to feel her physically and emotionally. He wanted them to be each other's.

His hands hadn't left her cheeks. "Can I kiss you?"

Stelle' nodded, wanting it more than anything in the world. He brought her face closer to his and their lips connected. Last time it had been slow and calculated. This time it was lustful. Each of them craving each other more and more.

Stelle' sat on top of him, straddling his hips as their lips moved in sync with each other. They would gasp out of breath but resume seconds later, their stomachs doing flips.

Neteyam's lips left hers and began to trail down her neck. He left marks on her perfect skin like a signature. She played with his hair, legs tightening their hold around his waist.

She bit her lip, feeling him on every inch of her body. She moved her hands along his smooth back, whispering in his ear. "I love you Neteyam."

His ears twitched at the sound of her voice. "What was that?" He looked her in the eyes. He had heard it perfectly, just wanted to hear it again.

"I love you Neteyam." She had grown fond of looking into his eyes. She loved getting lost in their beautiful yellow.

He rested his head against hers. "I love you stelle'"

Hearing that made her complete. She wanted to feel what he felt. She had found her other piece and wanted to unite with him. She got ahold of her long braid and brought it in front of her. Immediately Neteyam did the same. He knew what she wanted and he wanted it too.

"Are you sure?", asked Neteyam. After the bond they would be fully each other's which was likely against the wants of her parents. It seemed to have bothered her before, he was surprised it didn't affect her judgment now. 

She nodded. "I'm sure."

They brought their braids closer watching as the tentacles connected, creating the bond, tsaheylu.

In that moment neteyams's emotions were hers and her emotions were his. The euphoric feeling overpowered their senses. The lust was enhanced, the love was enhanced, everything was enhanced. They only craved each other more.

Connecting their lips together again they ignored as it began to pour rain. It was a full on thunderstorm but they remained in each other's arms, feeling each other, loving each other. Stelle chuckled, looking up at the sky and smiling at eywa's timing.

Neteyam watched her. "You are so breathtaking.", he said.

What stelle' felt in her stomach when looking at him weren't nerves anymore, it was pleasure. The rain died down and they stayed there all night, in each other's embrace. And there was no better feeling.

Morning came and they were woken by the sun as it shone over them providing them with a scorching heat.

Stelle' began to trace the patterns on Neteyam's skin and he opened his eyes with a smile as he felt her soft touch.

"We need to go eat breakfast, net."

He groaned, pulling her closer to him by the waist. "I don't want this moment to end."

"We'll I don't know about you, but I'm starving." She stood up with a chuckle.

He laughed at that, standing up too. "Ok ok."

He followed her to the village where breakfast was being served with a smile, recalling the previous night. He thought about it all throughout breakfast and would for the rest of the day.

Stelle' had been called to meet her father at his parent's hut. She was surprised to see Jake sully ,Neytiri, and Neteyam there too. Suddenly she understood what was happening.

"This relationship between my daughter and the eldest sully must terminate. It is not what I wish for my daughter's future.", said tonowari.

Neteyam and Stelle' held eye contact from opposite ends of the hut. Stelle' smiled knowing there was nothing her father could do now.

"Why do you smile, stelle'?", asked her father.

"Because I'm afraid it's too late for that.", she said.

She didn't have to say anything else for it to be understood by everyone that she had mated with Neteyam. Neteyam smiled at that.

Neytiri gasped as she realized, looking at jake who had his mouth open in shock before he smiled proudly.

Ronal held back a smile, happy her daughter had taken action before her father could.

The room had grown silent, everyone in shock. But stelle' didn't care what anyone thought. She was officially Neteyam's and Neteyam's was hers. That is all she wanted.
