I see us written in the Stars
What else is there? She thinks. He could ask the world of her and she'd do her best to give it, and she knows (is more aware than ever) her power is useable by others. Her power, the kind without a specific name or constant outcome, could be altered and managed by another source. That should be enough to keep him guessing for many, many years to come. She smiled in secret, answering him with a heated kiss instead of telling him anything.
He could have anything his heart desired.
"Now, that's a truly dangerous question." Cheri shivered when he nipped her with his teeth. They definitely weren't blunt, yet she enjoyed the little flare of sharp pinpricks as he peppered them over her skin. This lover's play between them was anything but gentle, anything but dull or boring.
He knew as well as she did how quickly their sparks ignited into flames.
Just the sound of his voice changing into a deeper, more desirous tone caught her attention, and without realizing it Cheri pressed closer to him. Like this, she was flush against the Fae Prince's warm chest and could feel the erratic beat of his flustered heart. Her smile grew.
"For starters, I'd like to make us 'official'." And she didn't mean by way of ceremony or announcement, she meant just between the two of them. A magic bond like she shared with Aela, but more... permanent.
Obviously, she knew Ob's natural response might be filled with suspicion. The dark Prince had always been averse to the stuff, knowing well enough by now how it could easily ruin a life, but it was a necessary thing she was asking of him - otherwise Cheri would've never bothered. After the fall of Loess and everything preceding that, Cheri realized that if some part of her was not kept safe, in a vessel outside of her own flesh-and-blood or otherwise, she could easily perish forever. She'd come close after bringing herself and Obscene back to their intended timeline.
Never again, she swore. If she could literally keep a piece of herself with Obscene, then it would not only be an infinite pledge between them but a safeguard against Cheri expelling too much power all at once.
She took her time explaining all of it to him, before allowing the Lord of Taiga a moment or two to think.
"Then, I don’t know..."
That fire he so loved to stoke was blazing from a wicked thought, not so very unlike his own sordid fantasies. Her eyes were nearly sparkling with it. For his benefit, Cheri withheld from using the phrase "we could make an heir". She knew in her heart as well as her mind that Obscene had a firstborn son already. Obsidio was not a colt easily replaced with another foal, nor would Obscene's Lady ever dream of trying.
“... if you’re good, and I mean really good, I might let you get lucky this season.” She laughed, intoxicated by him.
Her thoughts were fracturing apart, distracted by how heavy-tongued Obscene was getting as he lavished her with affection. The haunting beauty of their nighttime walk went unnoticed in the background. Instead, Cheri let him carry her along while her mind drifted to new places, thinking of where she could let her roots sink deeper and her magic run unfettered.
