Pegasus Nights

Path of Radiance - Tanith/Sigrun


If Tanith was completely honest with herself -and she usually was- she really should have expected Sigrun coming to her room wearing one of her most elegant dresses. As it was, she had expected Sigrun to visit her in full armour. Or perhaps she'd only hoped she would. It would've made things easier, after all.

"Commander," Tanith greeted her, nodding curtly.

Sigrun swept into the room and Tanith tried not to notice how the white fabric and green embroidery of her dress enhanced her already considerable beauty.

"So formal still, even though you are no longer my deputy commander," said Sigrun.

"I do not recall being relieved of that post," said Tanith.

Sigrun smiled sadly. "You are to leave with I- with General Ike tomorrow, placed under his direct command. And yet you claim to still serve me?"

Tanith turned away from the woman and continued packing her things. "Nevertheless, I remain your second-in-command."

The brunette quickly realised what a mistake it had been to turn her back on the woman. Sigrun embraced her from behind, pressing against her back. Tanith's treacherous body relaxed instantly.

"And you remain the woman I love," Sigrun whispered.

"We cannot do this Sigrun," Tanith said. "It would only cause..."

"Complications. Yes, I know. And I agree... under normal circumstances. But you are heading off to fight an army superior in both numbers and experience while leaving me behind. So please grant me this, at least."

Tanith closed her eyes. "We cannot. We should not. If we renewed our bond today and I were to fall... I know it would cause you more grief than I could bear and I would not be able to rest easily."

"Yet if you turn me away now it would grieve me even more. And can you honestly say you would not come to regret it?"

"You know I can't."

"Then let me stay here tonight."

Tanith sighed. She prided herself on the fact that she was a sensible woman and common sense told her that it was not a good idea to get involved with a superior officer. But the last time she'd shared her bed with Sigrun had been on the night before her promotion. She couldn't quite remember when that had been. Too long ago, at any rate.

"Very well," Tanith whispered. "You may stay."

Tanith's black breastplate clattered onto the stone floor. Without her really noticing it, Sigrun had already started undoing straps and buttons. Tanith didn't smile, since she was not the smiling type, but her features did soften somewhat. Those who saw Sigrun's kind, gentle demeanour and thought they knew her, didn't. Not really.

Tanith turned around to face Sigrun, slipped the white dress off her shoulders and saw it fall to the ground. Sigrun had been stark naked underneath, which didn't surprise Tanith in the least. She leaned forward to lick a nipple. The feel of it, the taste of it caused memories deemed long forgotten to flood back. Of two young girls training to become pegasus knights whispering to each other as the barracks slept, of shy kisses stolen in the shade of trees, of clumsy, awkward lovemaking.

Sigrun took Tanith's hand and led her to the bed. Lying on her back, Tanith looked up and saw Sigrun towering over her, her knees roughly at either side of her hips. There was adoration in her eyes, as well as naked lust.

"Feeling eager?" said Tanith.

"You have no idea how much I've yearned for you," said Sigrun. "How much my body cried for you every day."

"I think I do, as a matter of fact."

Sigrun carefully positioned herself, her legs entwining with Tanith's, before lowering her body just enough. Electricity shot through Tanith's body as Sigrun rubbed against her, both their juices flowing together. Tanith remembered this too. One night, they'd pressed their pussies together almost by accident and the sudden shock had given them both an orgasm. They'd experimented with the position since then trying, and often failing, to recreate that feeling. They found it again eventually, perfecting it, relishing it. There was something strangely animal about the way they ground their bodies together, stimulating each other in the exact same way at the exact same time. They never did it like this when they wanted to spend a lazy afternoon making love to each other, only when they overcome with lust with each other. Or when they really needed each other.

Passion blurring her sight, Tanith reached up, took Sigrun's hand and gripped it tightly.

The two women found a common rhythm, their bodies moving together with such perfection that it was difficult to tell where one stopped and the other began. In a way, there was no difference, both feeling the other's arousal and pleasure filling them both, lifting them up.

Tanith bit down on her teeth, Sigrun threw her head back and screamed and still they didn't lose their rhythm. No matter how aroused, how filled with ecstacy, their cunts kissed and danced, quickly, frantically, desperately.

Tanith could feel the pleasure building in Sigrun and knew it would not take much longer for the woman to come. Awash in a sea of bliss, they kept a hold of each other's hand as if letting go would mean being lost forever. Tanith's knuckled whitened as she increased her grip and pressed hard against Sigrun, shocks and shudders running from their shared place, setting her alight.

They came together in a wave of pleasure that belonged to them both. Sigrun collapsed on top of Tanith, but the brunette hardly noticed her falling onto her. The only thing she really noticed was good it felt to have Sigrun's body so close to her own again.

Sigrun reached up and softly kissed Tanith. "Thank you."

"My motivations were purely selfish, I assure you," said Tanith.

Sigrun smiled. "When you return from Daein, I promise you we will take our time. Entire hours, just for the two of us."

"When I return from Daein, I will be-"

"You will be my lover," said Sigrun. "I do not wish for our relationship to be purely professional once again. I do not think I would be able to bear it."

"If you put it like that, I suppose I cannot refuse."

Sigrun kissed her again. "I love you Tanith."

The green-haired pegasus knight closed her eyes and sighed contenty. They hadn't let go of each other's hand yet.

And, when they fell asleep, they still hadn't.
