Entwined

Chapter 4: Slower Pace

Adruinna

We all sit outside on a picnic blanket, sprawled out as we eat snacks from a giant basket Levi brought. I sip my juice as I stare at Ravana, not being able to take my eyes off her. Admiring Ravana as she talks and laughs with the others, the sun basks her in its light. God, she's beautiful. I really won the jackpot, shit I won the fucking lottery. I look over to see Asten walking by, this is the perfect opportunity.

"Asten!", I yell, getting his attention and waving him over.

"What's up?", he says with a bright smile. Damn, if I wasn't a lesbian I'd want a slice of that. I don't think I've seen someone with straighter teeth, it's like he's a Ken doll.

"Well, I know you're new here so I figured you could hang out with us. You know us who are in Pragma but I don't think you've met Levi", I say smiling as I look over at him.

"Hi Levi", Asten introduces himself with a smile, "I'm Asten, it's nice to meet you."

"I-it's really nice to meet you too", Levi says with a nervous smile. This is adorable. Look at me setting them up, I'm a good friend.

"Hey, Asten", Ravana speaks up, "I just realized, you're in Pragma but I've yet to meet your mate. Did you find yours at the Blue Moon ceremony or after?"

"Oh, I haven't found mine yet. They'll come sooner or later."

Neutral pronouns. Green flag for Levi.

"Don't worry about it Levi hasn't found his mate either", Ania pitches in.

I need to go pee. "Be back in a sec", I say as I get up. Heading to the bathroom I slow down near the door as I feel eyes on me. Turning around I see Mrs. Kanikeri approaching me.

"Hi, Mrs. Kanikeri!", I say putting on a smile and friendly tone.

"Hi Adruinna", she greets me in a cold voice not bothering to feign a friendly conversation. "I know what was going on this morning, I'm not dumb. I saw the hickey on her neck. Here's whats going to happen. You're going to stop pursuing Ravana, she has potential and can't be corrupted by your advances."

"Excuse me!", I say already riled up.

"She's not here to be with the likes of you, so back off."

"Are you kidding? Listen I don't care about the rivalry between our family's me and Ravana are mates. You can't keep us apart if you wanted to", I spit back.

"I can and I will. I've already found someone suitable for Ravana, I believe you've met him", she says with a twisted smile, "Trust me you're just another phase of hers that will soon bore her. When it does she'll throw you aside for something better."

Clenching my jaw I ball my hands into fist my claws digging into my skin. Control yourself. Don't bitch slap her.

"Darling your eyes are glowing. There's no need for anger, I'm just telling you the truth", she says with a sugary smile.

"Oh, its not from anger. I was just thinking about what I was doing to your daughter this morning", I say with a polite little smile before calmly walking away, leaving her pissed.

I head into the bathroom slamming the stall door shut peeing in absolute anger. I chuckle to myself, pissing while pissed. You know what? She isn't worth my anger. The best way to get back at her is to continue growing my relationship with her daughter. Why spend my time angry, when I could be spending my time angering? I calm myself, finishing my business and heading back to the picnic.

Taking my spot next to Ravana she leans over to whisper in my ear, her breath fanning my skin. "They're getting along well, fangirling over runes", she whispers.

Goddamn being in heat is getting to me, its like every little thing she does gets to me. "That's adorable", I whisper back. She smiles at me, my eyes falling to her full pink lips. Is it possible for someone to be this gorgeous?

"Do I have something on my face?", she asks.

"Nothing but beauty", I flirt with a smile.

"Oh stop", she says with pink tinted cheeks.

"You guys are so cute!", Ania squeals, "Arent they a cute couple?"

"Totally", Asten admits, "She's exactly Ravana's type too."

"Oh, really? And whats Ravana's type?", I asks waiting intently for an answer.

"Dominant and extroverted. With a sprinkle of feistiness of course", he explains.

"I wasn't aware I had a type", she says looking away.

"Yep, though the last girl you liked was a bitch. Glad Adruinna's nice", he compliments.

"Yeah, Adruinna had a trend of dating mean girls too", Ania comments.

"Good to see they both have bad taste", Asten jokes.

"Yep", Ania agrees.

"Hey, I think she has great taste", I defend.

"Yeah she taste good-Wait no that came out wrong", she fumbles over her words turning pink-faced, "I meant she has good taste!"

They all burst out laughing and though I find it funny I can only think of the faces she was making this morning. All pink-faced and moaning. Moaning and whimpering, I want to hear those pretty sounds as I'm making a mess of her. Okay Adruinna, calm your horny self down.

"I hope you know I won't be able to erase this from my memory and will tease you relentlessly", Levi says still midlaugh.

"I figured", she says laughing at herself. She has a nice laugh.

Soon enough our period ends and the day starts to fly by.

I walk into the lockeroom quickly getting changed into gym clothes. Heading back out the coach grabs all of our attention with a loud whistle.

"Listen up, I'm gonna partner ya'll up to practice these defensive and offensive moves. The examples are on the board. Partners will be Trixie and Mino, Adruinna and Ravana.....", the coach shouts projecting his voice throughout the gym.

Spotting Ravana heading towards me, I stay on my mat letting her come to me. "You ready?", I ask with a smile.

"Yeah", she says correcting her stance, "Do you wanna go first or...?"

"Nah, you go."

She nods. Jumping up she wraps her legs around my waist using her bodyweight to flip me onto my back. Her hands pins my wrist down as she sits on top of me. I could get used to her being on top, it's a nice view. Stop it you horndog.

"Are you waiting for me to fight back or do just like being on top of me?"

"Well, this is Defensive Arts, defend yourself."

I smile as I easily turn her onto her back pinning her down. One hand on her thigh as the other holds her wrists. "Like that?", I ask leaning in.

"Just like that", she says her gaze flickering between my eyes and lips. "We should move on to the next exercise."

"Yep", I agree hopping up. Don't go to fast. Got to let this move at a comfortable pace for the both of us. No matter how much I want her right now. We should get to know each other before doing anything...again.

"Do you want to go to the movies-well i mean just watch one in our dorm?", I ask as she perfects her stance for the next exercise.

"Sounds nice and I don't seem to have any homework today either. Sure", she says coming at me.

I use her weight against her flipping her onto her back. "Great!", I exclaim glad she wants to hang out. Just take it at a slow pace. Get to know each other, get comfortable. I don't want to mess this up with her.
