"Alma! What are you doing?" Adeline exclaims with a laugh as the woman tackled her on the floor, tickling the woman's sides as she straddled her with a grin.
"This is what you get for not listening to me at dinner!" She says and continues, Adelines laughter filling the room as she layed against the floor in the parlor. The children were already tucked in and asleep by now, both the ymbryne and her staying up late to chat. Or at least that's what Alma told her, she wasn't expecting to be pushed on to the floor.
"Alma, Alma! Stop!" The woman laughed as she tried to move away from her hands and the older woman chuckled as she finally eased off. Adelines laughs eased off, her cheeks bright red and a smile spread across her face. Alma brought her hand down slowly as if she was about to do it once more, Adeline bursting out laughing as she tried to squirm away.
"I'm not even touching you!" Alma grins and the woman still laughed from underneath her.
"No more!" Adeline laughs, wiping her tears away from laughing so hard. Alma smiled and eased off of her, still straddling the woman as she looked over her. Adeline let out a small breathless laugh as Alma rubbed her thumb over her cheek, looking down at her fondly. She watched as the ymbrynes gaze kept falling on her lips, brushing her thumb lightly over them with a small tilt of her head. She leaned down a bit further and Adeline wrapped her arms around the woman's neck loosely in case she wanted to pull away, but she didn't.
Suddenly she felt the woman's breath against her lips, leaning in to fill the gap and Adeline could taste the vanilla on her lips. Alma hummed as she towered over the woman, kissing her deeply and running her tongue over her lips, demanding her entrance. Adeline obeyed, allowing the woman to slip her tongue through her mouth, tasting every part of it. The younger woman ran her hands into the woman's hair, messing up her usual tidy style as Alma pulled away for a moment to catch her breath. Adeline looked at the woman, her cheeks a bright red and heart racing as she looked at her ymbryne.
"Alma." She says quietly and the woman looked over her, her features changing as she looked at the woman fondly, Adeline feeling her stomach flutter at how the woman did. This wasn't just the two of them joking around like before, this was real. This woman was truly in love with her.
Alma leaned down once more, meeting her lips again and Adeline let a small noise slip from the back of her throat, feeling the raven haired woman smile against her lips as she deepened it.
Adeline leaned forward to kiss her back, her hands grabbing the collars of her jacket to keep her down against her. Alma hummed out of satisfaction as she continued tasting the woman, craving the woman's lips. Adeline was just as desperate, enjoying the taste of the woman she craved for so long. It felt blissful, her heart fluttering at every touch and the fire building in her lower stomach.
Alma gently trailed her lips down to her jaw, nipping slightly at her ear with a smirk when Adeline gasped slightly at the action. Her lips met her neck, feeling the heat radiating off the woman as she kissed her. Adeline felt her heart rate beating fast, intoxicated with the love she had for her ymbryne as Alma returned her lips to hers, her hands cupping the sides of the younger woman's face to deepen it if that was even possible. Her hands tightened their hold on the woman's hair, feeling the pressure rising from the adrenaline and she accidently bit down on Almas lip, the older woman pulling away but her lips only inches away from hers.
"Sorry." Adeline says out of breath, letting go of the woman's hair as she tried to take away the pain in her palms. When she did though, she felt herself let out a quiet gasp, seeing the red blossoming on the bandages. Alma noticed and gently got off the woman helping her up off the floor and smiling slightly when she seen the woman stumble.
"Let's fix those bandages and check the stitches." Alma says softly and kissed her forehead, surprising the younger woman. Adeline followed the older woman upstairs and Alma let her walk into her bedroom first, Alma coming in afterwards. Adeline hadn't slept in her room much and it still made her heart beat faster at the thought.
"Sit down on the bed love, get comfortable." Alma says softly as she went into her bathroom to get the first aid kit. Adeline felt the heat rush to her cheeks at the term of endearment and she smiled slightly to herself before sitting on the woman's bed. She watched the woman come back out, sitting the kit on the bed as she sat beside her and gently took her hands.
She watched as the headmistress skillfully unwrapped her previous wrapped hands and check the stitching, thankfully not having to restitch them.
"You're doing good with keeping them intact, I'm impressed." Alma praises her with a small smile and Adeline blushed with a bashful smile as the woman cleaned them. Her hands slightly twitched but Alma was quick with her work, wrapping them with a clean bandage before putting the kit on her nightstand. Adeline watched the older woman head to her vanity and blushed when she took out two nightgowns.
"You haven't changed into yours yet, would you like to borrow one of mine?" Alma asks and Adeline knew the woman seen how red her cheeks were when she nods. The ymbryne smiled and set the nightgown in her lap, looking fondly at her and when Adeline met her gaze, she pressed a gentle kiss against her lips and then one on her forehead.
"I'll change in the bathroom, you may change I'm here." She says softly and Adeline nods, the woman leaving in to the bathroom. The younger woman quickly undressed, trying to finish before the woman came in, but Alma must have forgotten something and stepped out to quick get it, stopping short when she seen Adeline taking her shirt off and tossing it aside. She couldn't help but have her eyes fall to the younger woman's chest when she leaned over to get the nightgown, her gaze snapping up to Almas when she noticed her and her eyes widened slightly, her own face growing red.
"I'm sorry, I forgot..." Alma trailed off before looking off to the side confused. "I can't remember now." She says, her cheeks pink. "Sorry, dear, please continue." She says quickly, heading back to the bathroom before she grew too flustered. Adeline felt herself burning up, oddly liking the way the headmistress looked at her.
She finished changing and took a seat on the bed, Alma coming back out in her nightgown, still some of the pink remained on her cheeks.
"Alma?" Adeline asks and the ymbryne glanced her way, catching her eyes with hers. "I found a book in the library, but I can't understand what it says. Would you mind helping me?" She asks and Alma scolded herself for letting her mind fall into the gutter at the question.
"Of course dear, what is it?"
"It's written in French." She says and Alma felt her shoulders tense. "There's a note in the beginning and I recognized my name, but I'm not sure. I can't read it." She says softly and Alma immediately felt a bit panicky for leaving that in the study room. She should have taken it out, but it was the only well hidden spot she could keep it.
"Ah, I see." Alma says and cleared her throat. "I would help you, but I can assure you that you won't find it the slightest bit interesting. It's just a guide to the peculiardom which I know you know pretty much everything about."
"Whys my name in it then?" Adeline asks and Alma tried thinking of a good reason but failed.
"Let's get some rest, I'll tell you more tomorrow." She says and despite Adelines curiosity, she nods.
The headmistress went and brought the covers up over her, looking at Adeline with a small confused smile.
"Aren't you laying down? I won't bite, I promise I'll keep myself contained." Alma says with a smirk and Adeline rolled her eyes with a smile as she brought the covers over herself and layed down next to her, Alma shutting the lamp off before laying down herself.
Adeline looked over the woman's features, Alma smiling at the woman's gaze and ran her talons through her hair. Adeline was nonetheless confused at how the woman was acting with her, but didn't think about it much. She wasn't complaining, it felt nice.
The older woman placed a soft, gentle kiss on her forehead before running her talons down her back, her chin propped on her head as she held her close.
