CH:37 Ying's First Date

With hand in hand we walk over the last little mound to get to the tippy top. When I look up, all I see is a blanket of stars and my legs freeze. Leo notices immediately that I stopped and looks back to see wide-eyed amazement across my face.

With a soft chuckle he walks up to me and holds me in his embrace. Wrapping his strong comforting arms around my upper back, pressing my body against his chest. Unable to take my eyes off the skies my hands just move on their own until I'm wrapped around his waist.

After a fairly long moment of feasting my eyes amongst the stars, I finally noticed that Leo wasn't looking at the stars at all. In fact he was just staring at me this entire time. When my eyes finally dropped to his, I blush incredibly hard, 'Daaamn, they are as warm and blue as a tropical ocean...' I open my mouth a bit to try to say something but no words would come out as I'm far too lost in the deep ocean of his eyes.

A warm smile grows on his face as he brings his hand up to graze my cheek. He whispers with his soothing cool voice, "Your eyes catch the sparkle of the stars and shine like the most stunning polished amethysts."

I fill with warmth as my eyes water a little at the tenderness of his words, "No one has ever said such sweet things to me..." Before a tear could fall though, he grazes his thumb just under my eye to wipe it away resting his hand cupping my cheek.

"Well, you are my precious gemstone and I plan on gracing you with meny more sweet things."

Sensing a challenge I couldn't help myself, "Oh? Like what?" I ask with a slightly sultry tone and heavy lidded sexy eyes.

His gorgeous know-it-all grin comes back, "Like this." He whispers before he closes his eyes and presses his lips against mine.

My eyes shoot wide open as fireworks go off in my brain. Leo starts to move his lips in a gentle soothing motion and I follow his lead as a moan escapes me. While I'm getting swept away by the delightful feeling, my eyelids fall shut and my legs start to turn to jelly as a fiery heat spreads throughout my body. Mixing with the intense butterfly storm growing in my gut.

I can tell Leo is getting worked up just as much as I am. The hand that was on my cheek is now buried deep in my hair on the back of my head, pinning my mouth to his. While his other hand has fallen to my lower back, holding me tightly to him pressing my large chest against his.

Just when I think this can't get any better, I feel his tongue graze my lips. The sudden contact shocks me and I open my mouth with a little gasp. Leo seized the opportunity and slid his tongue between my lips to begin exploring. Causing me to moan again as a whole new wave of heat and butterflies hit me like a tsunami.

I continue to follow his lead and twirl my tongue around his, causing him to moan deep in my mouth. This just riles me up even more as our tongues are dancing together. I slid my one hand up his side and hook it over the back of his shoulder from underneath, pinning him to me. While my other hand stayed latched to his shell with my claws, making him moan and grunt everytime I scratch him a little.

I don't even know how long we were lost in each other's embraces for. After a while, pretty much right when I finally truly relax and began to really enjoy and give in to the feeling, Leo pulls his face away from mine. Making me sigh as I keep my eyes closed, still enjoying the fading feeling of his lips on mine. As we are still holding each other tightly, I hear him attempt to hide a chuckle before he says, "Umm, Ying? Can you turn down the brightness?"

Shocking me out of the trance he put me in, I opened my eyes to realize I'm glowing so brightly that I'm even illuminating the far mountains on the other side of the river. With considerable focus I relaxed my energy and slowly dim out until my skin returns to normal.

When I'm finally done and heave a sigh, I hear Leo whisper, "Gemstone, I never noticed before but your eyes glow aswell when you light up. You never cease to amaze me. Just when I think you can't get any more beautiful... They looked like outer space..." More or less mumbling the end to himself.

I look up at him with sheer admiration and gratefulness. I give him a quick peck of a kiss on his lips, putting an instant grin on both of our faces... Only to be immediately interrupted by the growling of my stomach making us both burst out laughing.

With a chuckle he gestures to the duffel bag he brought saying, "That's what this is for." He gives me a sly wink before he lets go and walks over to the very top of the mound we were walking up. He pulls out a red plaid blanket and with a flick of his wrist he laid it out perfectly and sat down, gesturing for me to follow.

I sat down a bit nervous before saying, "With my glow-op earlier, shouldn't we probably get moving from this area?"

As Leo pulls out a container from the bag he says, "We're only stopping to have some pizza. Shouldn't take too long." Finishing by handing me two slices as he starts to eat one of his own.

For the next little bit we silently sat. Enjoying the pizza, the stars and the company. For shits and giggles, I acted cold. Since I'm still only wearing that tight tank top with my blue jeans, it was passable and Leo noticed immediately. He scoots closer to me and once he is sitting next to me he puts his arm around, holding me close. As we finish off our pizza, I snuggle into his lap and we watch the stars enjoying each others embrace.

Once we were done our pizza he digs in the almost empty duffle bag once again and pulls out two orange crushes and says, "Courtesy of Mikey" with a bit of a snicker.

After a fit of giggles I say, "Well, if that's the case, then give him one of these next time you see him for me." and I kiss him on the cheek.

"HA! I will not! But I'll take any payment you deem worthy." he says with a smrik as he's holding my drink hostage.

"Oh! Is that so?" I couldn't help but ask with a sassy raised eyebrow.

Just getting a "Mmhmm" in return as his smerk just gets a bit bigger.

With a sigh I say, "Fine, twist my rubber tail, eh?" And I grab his face with both hands, gently pulling him toward me. I see excitement flash through his eyes right before we both close them as our lips meet once more for a sweet light caressing.

This time I pulled away quickly and snatched my drink while Leo was still in a daze. I snuggle back into his chest as I open it and enjoy my sip of victory, while he just chuckles at my antics.

As we are drinking our pops, Leo points out constellations in the stars that he knows. Before I knew it, it's time to go. So, we packed up and started to head back.

Over my shoulder I hear Leo, "Hey, you up for some agility ninja training?"

I glance back at him, "Is that your way of challenging me to a race back to the truck?"

"Maybe it is... Maybe it's not." And with a wink he takes off down the rocky cliff face.

"Oh-hoh, well then. Since your so cute I guess you can have a head start." I mumble mostly to myself as I watch his nimble form bounce down the rocks.

I faintly hear "I heard that!" coming halfway up the cliff so with a snicker I start pouncing my way down.

We move quickly and silently through the hole trail. Launching ourselves across the bridge and rocketing around the lake, until we're back at the Battle Shell. With one final glance over my shoulder at the forest behind me, I jump in the truck and we head back to the lair.
