*Luc had followed her to her hosue ot drop her car, then driven them both out to his house. He parked now in his garage and led the way out to the grass by the house* So you are finally back here....without worry.
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 10:48:40 PM)
"I am... and I am -very- happy to be here..." Portia smiles, she carried the smaller of the two bags. "... though... perhaps not without... some worry.... We still await the return of the tribal elder... Though, I know that in -no- way can she find either of us lacking...."

(Posting, was shooing kids to bed)
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 10:55:15 PM)
Well, *he lifted her bag from the car* We need her okay for the official mating. We have your guardian's approval to 'date' officially. That is jsu twhat this is
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 10:56:10 PM)
"Yes... he was... quite... enthusiastic.... if you can believe it of Steven..." she laughs. "He is becoming more encouraging. I like that..."
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 10:57:12 PM)
Enthusiastic? *He looked amused* I can just imagine. *He leaned down for a soft kiss* Will you want to move out here?
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:02:19 PM)
She kisses him, her mouth lingering against his. Surpise seems evident on her features as he pulls away. "You... would not wish to keep my house in the city?" She seems to think this over for a few long moments. ".... we will live wherever you think best."
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:07:20 PM)
I do not wish to give up your house no. I suspect that we will be sharing our time between them? *The closeness of her wahed over his senses and he debated the urge to sling her over his hsoulder and carry her off into th ehouse*
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:08:27 PM)
"This ... I think is a perfect plan..." Her smile was bright as she beams up at him, her arm encircling his waist and her cheek falling against his side cuddling close as they move together.
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:09:32 PM)
We are taking the boat out (I am assuming it is day sicne that is hwen we intended to go). That spot in the picture? That is where we are going, assuming I can get out of this house *He grinned*
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:14:13 PM)
"I think that's a great idea... I packed reasonably... jeans... boots... the sort of things that will keep me from being soaked and snake-bitten...."
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:14:42 PM)
"I've been waiting to hear this story for a very long time you know...."
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:15:30 PM)
I know. *he unlocked the door and let her go in first* Get changed. I'd better stay doen here or we on't leave this place for a few hours
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:19:09 PM)
She rolls her eyes and moves swiftly. She was excited at the prospect of a boat ride. Jeans, a camel leather jacket, matching calf high boots, and a white, organic cotton blouse with a bit of lace for embellishment. She left her hair flowing loosely around her chin as she exits. An adventurous glint shines in her eyes, and she begins to tug on a pair of soft leather gloves in a blood red hue that matches her scarf.... A bit of brightness in case by some unforseen chance they become separated in the woods. One never knew.
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:21:53 PM)
*He smiled widely at her* Good enough to eat. YOu know, Portia, I think I like this side of you.
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:26:06 PM)
"Good... because... I like boats. I've no fear of the water... only heights..." she teased.
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:29:00 PM)
THos one is low. *his black eyes held hers a long moment, desire bold in them. Finally he spoke* Let's go then. *Taking he rhand he led her out and down a path to the dock that snaked out over the water*
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:32:09 PM)
She moves along with him, taking in the scenery. She walked along with him... staring out over the scenery. "We should do this more often, maybe?"
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:32:24 PM)
(sorry, dog)
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:32:27 PM)
(lol)
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:32:43 PM)
(I thought I lost my post)
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:36:11 PM)
Portia? I will do anyhting with you. I was afraid this day, when Steven agreed, might not come. *the boat was tied up, a wide flat bottomed one good for marsh running. He stepped in, then lifted her doen easily into it*
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:36:57 PM)
"Why?" She seems surprised. The ring on her finger was studied. "When I am determined to want something... anything.... no barrier will stop me..."
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:38:12 PM)
Nor I but he seemed so...hesitant. Still, it's a thig of the past now. *His gaze swept over her burning like fire. Finally he turned and started the boat, released the line and slowly coasted out into the narrow channel. *
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:40:19 PM)
Her smile widened and she looked in Lucien's direction. She settled into comfortable silence lulled by the motion of the boat. The churning water as the small vessel sluiced forward and the ripples left in its wake were magical in itself. The sun warmed her flaxen hair, despite the remaining chill that lingers in the air.
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:43:00 PM)
*They cruised along, Luc watching the water for gators and otehr animals. A few smaller ones floated by, soe large water snakes, the odd twig or branch. Soon they veered off into another inlet, followed it for a time, then around another bend. It was almost like a maze but ghe seemed to know exactly wehre he was going. The moss grew thicker in the trees handing low now, and it was quiet as the trees themselves grew thicker. even Lucien seemed to draw inward, his gaze darkening*
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:45:54 PM)
Portia moves closer, she sits as near him as she may, her hand on his knee and her cheek on his shoulder, if space afforded it.... She turns and lightly brushes her lips against his ear and shares the warmth of her body. She seemed to enjoy it. "In New York.... you can take the Ferry... but... it... is nothing like this...." she breathes. "It's like another world.... the kind you only see on the Discovery channel... isn't it?"
Lucien Moreau (Jan 11, 2011 11:49:17 PM)
IT is, that exactly. *He leaned in to her as she kissed his ear. Even his tone was more solemn now than usual. THey turned, moving beneath a waterfall of moss into a small cove, hidden away. Where they entered was the only access and on the dar side, a slight rise and thick trees hid it. Even dound seemed dampened here and she woudl recognize it form the photograph*
Portia Denton (Jan 11, 2011 11:57:54 PM)
Portia grew silent. Expectant. She remains poised against Lucien, offering comfort... and the solace of her silence. She knew that what he would say would be important... for him... to them.... Her lips purse. The gravity of the moment was not lost on the woman and she with empathetic awareness understood that this must be difficult. Perhaps it was regarding the woman.... his first love.... or some other mystery of his person....
