Acho had star's atlas open in their lap though star wasn't really paying attention to it, instead he was zoned out, watching the landscape go by on their return from a terrible beast quest.
Owen smiled from her place at the wheel, admiring the younger Denholm brother with a fire in her heart at the sight of love bites along star's neck.
Those bites had come from a random traveler who spent one less than lonely night on the Isle with Acho, no strings attached, just mutual pleasure.
What neither knew was that they had the biggest crushes on each other.
Owen loved the way Acho spoke, the way star's eyes would stare him down.
Acho loved the way that Owen's conducted herself, his bubbly personality and flirtatious behaviour.
Owen sighed gently, grabbing her anchor and throwing it overboard to anchor his boat down, this was her chance to confess to Acho.
Acho blinked slowly, bringing themself back to reality, "Is everything alright?"
Owen moved down the boat and pushed star against the bow, "What if I kissed you right here, right now? I could give you new bites better than the ones he gave you?" There was a jealous twinge in his voice.
Acho turned a bright shade of red, looking down at star's feet, muttering a reply that Owen couldn't hear.
"I didn't quite catch that babe, could you be good and speak up for me?" Owen ran a hand through Acho's hair.
"I'd love that but... aren't you with Gabe?" Acho was a very deep shade of red by this point, it only made the purple on his neck stand out more.
"We are very open Darl, he's actually out on a date at the moment so I'll be missing someone in my bed tonight. So, Mr Denholm, may I?" Owen hooked Acho's chin with his index finger, tipping it up so they were making eye contact.
Acho nodded softly, "Gods yes!" Star replied.
Owen pulled Acho forward gently, pressing their lips together with such care and kindness.
Acho, with no ounce of hesitation, kissed back, opening star's mouth to let Owen's tongue slide in.
Owen spent a few minutes working her way through every crevice in Acho's mouth before moving down the side of Acho's neck, biting down gently to leave a new layer of hickeys.
Acho gasped, star's knees bucking beneath him, "Oh!" They bucked up excitedly.
"Is this better than whatever he did to you Baby?" Owen bit down harder, drawing a small amount of blood.
"Yes!" Acho yelped out, setting himself down against Owen's knee, grinding up against it.
"Aww, look at how pathetic you look, can't even wait to get home can you?" Owen teased, moving both hands, setting them on Acho's hips, "What do you want to do my dear?"
"Both! Here! Bed! Good!" Acho could not articulate sentences, whimpering as Owen forced star to stop bouncing.
"Come sit down on my lap and you can do anything you want on the rest of the sail home, but you may not touch yourself."
Acho nodded again, moving to sit on Owen's thigh after she had pulled the anchor up.
"Bounce for me. Do not touch, do not release, do not hide your pretty little noises until we get close enough to the docks. Those are my rules, follow them and I'll reward you, break them and I'll punish you," Owen explained, turning the wheel.
Acho could do nothing more than to nod yet again and exclaim, "Yes Ma'am, I understand!" As they continued to move against the Heron's clothes thigh.
The closer they got to the dock, the louder Acho became until Owen placed a harsh slap on star's thigh, "Hush, this is your only warning."
"Yes Ma'am, sorry Ma'am."
"Good boy. Come now, we are heading to my place, and don't worry about needing clothes, you can borrow mine or Gabe's."
