Bhudo: *leads her up to his wing then stops suddenly in the living room *
Cora: *stops behind him, still looking at the floor*
Bhudo: *turns abruptly and grabs her. He forces her head back with a fierce kiss*
Cora: ....!! * her eyes wide open in surprise soon closing as she begins to melt into his arms*
Bhudo: * pulls her away just as abruptly and picks up her bags. He leads her inside.* Welcome to the Lair Corina
Cora: *eyebrow twitches* What?! What is this?! You just kissed me and all you have to say is welcome to the lair?!
Bhudo: be glad I have a measure of control left woman
Cora: I... I don't understand you at all.... Why are you toying with me this way?
Bhudo: Tosses her bags onto the bed and grabs her again.* I am not toying with you. I am trying not to hurt you
Cora: Trying not to hurt me? Why would you hurt me?
Bhudo: I have wanted you for far too long
Cora: *starts to blush* B-Bhudo...
Bhudo: * lets go and steps back* I will leave you to freshen up. I am next door if you need me
Cora: *her tone serious* Tell me what is going on. This is too suspicious... Cami forcing me to leave.. this is not about work is it? Locke volunteering to babysit for her? This is not adding up. I demand an answer now.
Bhudo: Soulcall Corina....and you are mine......you are the other half of my soul
Cora: *stumbles backwards, hitting the wall but not too hard* ..... what?! *can barely breathe* That.. that... that is impossible. I... I am a human....
B: *advances slowly* My father was human Corina.
Cora: That.... that song... it was you....
B: yes. Calling you to me. You fought hard, I.....but you're here now.....
Cora: How.... long....
B: ......and wanting you has become all consuming..........
Cora: *demanding* How long Bhudo!!
B:......................
Cora: How long.
B: Twelve months on the day after tomorrow, not counting the shortening
Cora: *slaps him hard* How could you Bhudo?!!
*puts her hand to her mouth and looks horrified* Bhudo!! If you had only told me I would have come to you in the very beginning...
B: what?
Cora: I cannot bear to think of the suffering I have caused you....
B: I have not suffered because of you. It was my own doing. * gathering her into his arms*
Cora: What.. what has caused you to wait until the edge of death? Surely I have not been that cold to you..
B: Corina......I love you
Cora: *feels her heart leap into her throat* Bhudo... I...
B: pulls her closer tipping her head back to look into her eyes*. I love you
Cora: *closes her eyes for a moment, looking like she's almost holding back tears and then looks up at him with bright and clear eyes* I... I love you too Bhudo...
B: Then the wait was worth it * bends and kisses her deeply*
Cora: *chokes a little sob but controls herself, her hands reaching his face and caressing his cheeks as he kisses her*
B: *deepens the kiss sinking to the floor and taking her with him. He lays back on the floor pulling her on top of him. Letting his hands run all over her, pulling her into him as much as he can*
Cora: *softly* Is this what must be done to end your suffering..?
B: Join your body to mine and let us mingle our souls.
Cora: *softly, looking down at him, her fingers pushing strands of hair from his cheek* Like this? On the floor? May I bathe first...?
B: yes.....soon. *reaches up to tangle his hands in her silky hair and pulls her down for another deep kiss*
Cora: *, leaning over him* I am a little in shock...*pulls away* I need a moment to process this...*gets up and moves to sit on the bed, closing her eyes and running a hand through her hair*
B: *watching her * Do you refuse me Corina?
Cora: *quietly* These months... It has been you that has called to me...I hadn't any idea.....It was the only comfort I had in the dark nights whne I was alone and frightened and unable to sleep...you comforted me without even knowing it. You were always with me.
B: Lirani ....
Cora: You do it again.... *eyes begin to fill again but does not look at him* and you call me this name I don't know...
B: it means light of my soul * slumps onto the wall* It is how I have always seen you. So much so that I didn't recognize soulcall when it hit. I have loved you so long.... Can you accept me as I am? A jealous creature unwilling to share? In many ways more dragon than human.. You love Vincent. I accept that. I respect and care for him as well. But you are a woman who loves many and I cannot accept that. I cannot tolerate the sight of another near you other than the children, Vincent and Camilla. If you cannot accept this, you are better off without me.
Cora: I have never loved anyone besides you and Vincent, Bhudo...I only have two hearts to give... and I have given them away... are you tossing mine away like it is not worthy? Am I cursed?
B: Oh Elders Corina, I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to force you to bind with me. You say you love me but I'm afraid. If I let myself believe you, I can never let you go.
Cora: I do not want to be let go.... I am not being forced.
B: *sigh* *stands and retrieves his shirt but doesn't put it on*I will go now. I will be in my room until mealtime
Cora: Are you going to forfeit your life because you will not trust my words?
B: *Sits again and looks up at her* no. I believe you. I think it is best if I put some distance between us. My mood is not conducive to not rapeing you.
Cora: I am glad... please tell me what i must do until then
B: go to Vaieh and Taitai
Cora: *eyes soften* hold me... kiss me before you leave...
B: Corina you don't know what you ask *already reaching for her*
Cora: *moves to him* It will be done properly but I need to feel your love before I leave you for now... please...I will stop you
B: Elders I hope you can * crushing his lips down on hers he tries to pull her into his very skin holding hr desperately close
Cora: *sighs deeply, her hand reaching around his neck and holding him close to her, her mouth pressed desperately against his*
B: runs his hands down her back to her hips pull them to his own and grinding his need into her
Cora: *moans before pulling away* We will do this properly... *reaches up, stroking his face*
B: *rises showing her that he truly needs her* I will go now
Cora: *eyelids become heavy seeing him* Quickly or we will both be having the same problem...
Cora: Do not make me a rapist.. yet
B: *turns and is startled to see the Ain Chehei and his brothers heria waiting near alongside his sister and cousin* Chehei.... *pulls Cora to her feet*
Taiho: we thought you would bind without us
Tai'an: Out
Cora: .........
Vai: Come Corina you must be properly prepared. Mlar please bring her.
Cora: *goes to Mlar silently, though her mind is processing something*
Vai: It took me some time....
Cora: *low* how long did you know this....
Vai: I finally put the pieces together yesterday
Cora: *turns to Tai* .... and you?
Tai: I have always known
Cora: *growls* Why did you not tell me!? I would have come to him long before this!!
Tai: * Looking at her brother* He wanted your love not obligation. I could not deny him the chance.
Cora: *quietly* even then... he would not have had to wait this long....
Tai: You needed to be sure. You didn't seem to know, so he prepared him self for me.
Cora: *closes her eyes in anguish* Tell me how this is to go.... I do not want him to wait in pain longer then necessary
Vai: you will bathe with us, be soothed by us and we will dress you and take you to him
Cora: Okay..
Tai: He will be prepared by the men so he will not rush and hurt you
Cora: *darkly* prepared....?
Vai: control yourself tigress. he must be or he wil rape you.
Cora: .... you cannot rape the willing....
Tai: yes you can. Si'or barely survived our first binding. Now stop your quibbling and come.
Cora: *takes Tai's hand* Lead me through this
Tai'an: come then.
