"Ah, don't touch that.." Osa groaned as Raven picked up a full vial of fuel. His feathers raised on his neck as he took it back from her and gently set it down back in the case, "We'll take them out when I get the compartments open. I just need to finish a few things first." The two had gotten back just a few hours prior. Both were tired, and soaked, "I just needed to make sure they didn't get wet."
Raven jumped as Osa removed the vial from her hands, earning him a glare. The woman looked at her clothes, "I figured you'd hook them up now why wait?" She sat down in the floor before leaning back against the wall. Oddly enough she felt safe down beneath the water in the ship. Being back, she knew nothing was going to break in or attack them.
"Because I want to be prepared when I send out another signal, and I'm not. There's no reason to use this fuel until I absolutely have to." He pulled out the half vial before taking it over and putting it in the slot, "This though, we can certainly use." He purred softly as the entire ship lit up. Doors that had never opened had a purple glow dancing around them. The Irinaut nodded his head in approval, "It will be much easier to open doors now at least. We can manage that." The Irinaut pulled on his cloak before unclipping it and tossing it at a pile of wet clothes, "I'm going to go wash this stench off me. Your cold shower wasn't quite nice."
Raven understood. She figured he was being cautious, but when he grabbed out the half vial and hooked it up, she was surprised to see the entire ship just come to life, "Why do you need those doors? I've never seen you use them." The woman watched him unhook his cloak. He seemed tired but restless all the same, "A bath? I could use one after you. Just, might need to tie a rope in there for me her something." Raven scrunched her nose at the mention of the cold shower, "I told you it's not supposed to be that cold."
Osa smiled, laughing a bit at her comment, "Mm, behind those doors are comforts I haven't seen in person in quite some time. Things we installed to help with long journeys. I'll have to show you." At the mention of needing a bath herself, the Irinaut gave a soft gesture with his head, a murr rumbled in his chest, "Why don't you come with me?"
"Come with you?" Raven's face blazed, but as she looked up at Osa she saw his was the same. Only instead of a flushed red, his cheeks burned with the gold hue, "What, take a bath together?"
Osa shrugged before pulling on his t-shirt's collar, "Yes, with me." The Irinaut rubbed over the Hollows on his head, "Otherwise I'm going to by myself." He shrugged his shoulders. The Irinaut found himself being rather awkward himself. The male headed towards his room before clicking the door open, "You're welcome to follow."
Once inside his room, the male stretched out his arms. Osa himself was relieved to be back home himself. The male opened the door to the bathroom before removing his top and jeans before tossing them to the side. He sighed before sitting down and putting his legs in the water. Osa braced his hands on the sides before sliding inside and taking a deep breath and diving under.
The male kicked his legs downward, just going before he stopped and turned himself upright. He breathed deeply through his gills before opening his eyes and looking around in the warm star like waters. Osa found himself just relaxing in the depths as he watched the star like twinkles dance around him. Truly, he felt like he was back within the stars.
After a few minutes, he came back up. Osa wiped his hands over his face to get the water off before hearing his name.
"Osa.."
The Irinaut glanced up; seeing Raven holding a towel around her frame. His golden eyes brightened as he cocked his head to the side, "Did you change your mind?"
"I just, this thing creeps me out." Raven turned her gaze off to the side before closing her eyes, "Besides I'm tired and I don't want to get lost in your bathtub." The woman sat down on the edge of the bath in front of Osa, her feet in the water, "You just can't let me sink alright?"
Osa swam up next to her; allowing his cheek to brush her thigh before bracing himself on the edge with one hand, and the other on the woman's thigh, "It's not as scary as you think." He thought for a moment before giving her leg a soft squeeze, "Let me take you down and show you. I'll hold you there and when you're ready I'll bring you back up."
As Osa's cheek brushed her thigh she felt a tingle run down her spine. When the Irinaut grabbed her thigh she felt the blood rushing to her cheeks. Raven shook her head, "Let me get in the water first before I decide anything. Just, don't let me drown." Her breathing had quickened as she removed her towel. Raven had her own scars from cuts to gun shot wounds. It was obvious she was a soldier. Given her attitude typically, she acted frail in this position.
Osa's eyes were locked on the woman as she dropped her towel. The male made a soft clicking noise as his feathers ruffled along his neck and shoulders. He couldn't help but admire her fair skin, the stories it told. Her breasts were on the larger side, and her nipples a deep rose color. Osa hadn't taken the time to look previously when she had been nude before but she hadn't told him not to look.
As she slid down into the water, her hands clung to the side, and she quickly turned around to brace herself against the side, but Osa was right there. His arm wrapped around her frame before pulling her back to his chest. He held her with ease, "I've got you, you can let go." He breathed deeply before brushing his lips against her ear, finding his own natural urges difficult to control, "You don't have to be in here with me, Raven."
As Osa wrapped his arm around her and pulled the woman back against him, the woman let out a soft gasp. As the two were skin to skin, she couldn't help but feel a that tingle return, running from her toes into her stomach. When the Irinaut's lips brushed against her ear, a moan escaped her lips, "Osa I want to be in here with you.." Hesitantly, she brought her hand back and held his cheek. The Irinaut's hand that held her rubbed up and down her torso, only making her breathing quicken, "If I let you show me you promise not to let go?"
Osa smiled into the nape of Raven's neck as he rested his head there. As she rubbed her hand over his head it only caused his grip on her to become more firm, "I promise I won't let you go. The moment you want to come back up just give me a few taps." He reached up and took her hand in his, "When you're ready, just let go of the side. When we get down there, just open your eyes."
Raven took hold of his hand tightly. She had to think it over, but in an instant the woman took a deep breath and let go. Just as she did Osa dived down and pulled her with him. The warm felt her chest tighten as she got nervous, but once she felt Osa pull her to his chest, she knew she was alright.
As she peeked her eyes open, she finally got to look at the what Osa loved so much about these waters. As he held her there, she really felt like she was floating around in space with the stars. Her arms wrapped around his shoulders before she looked up at him.
Osa hadn't been looking at the endless star like water as Raven was, but was staring at her. As their eyes locked with one another's, Osa brought he hand up to her cheek before lifting her towards him and pressing his lips to hers.
Raven jumped softly as he kissed her. Her entire body just melted in his arms as she caressed her lips against his. Osa's glow only growing brighter. Though it only lasted a few moments, it felt like a blissful eternity.
After a minute though, the woman found herself needing to breathe. She pulled back from Osa before giving his arm a few soft taps, and he obviously understood and quickly brought her back to the surface.
Raven took a deep breath before holding on to the edge of the pool of water once again. The woman looked back at Osa, whose pupils had become slit. She pulled herself from the water before she finishing washing off while Osa did the same, but his eyes were locked on Raven.
After they finished, Raven made her way into Osa's room before falling back on his bed. The woman's towel still wrapped around her frame, "Osa! Where are those shirts you let me wear?"
Osa walked into the bedroom, but he hadn't dried or even dressed. The male walked over to Raven before looking down at her. His alien member was partially erect, his cheeks glowing, and his demeanor almost feral, "I don't think you should wear anything right now." The male got down on his knees and sat for a moment in front of Raven before climbing up overtop of her. The male used his hands to brace himself over her, "Raven, would you Lock with me?"
As Raven saw the Irinaut hovering her, completely naked, her eyes widened. He had a knot at the base, and it spiraled with ridges. The woman shut her eyes tightly. She heard the Irinaut climbing over top of her. When she peeked her eyes open to look at him, his question through her off, "Lock? I'm sorry, but what is that?"
Osa's eyes widened a bit, seeming nervous to say, "Locking, it's like, breeding, but when a Irinaut locks we are bound to that person." Truly, he was doing everything to control himself. The male hummed before brushing his nose to hers, "I want to have that connection with you. I've never wanted it with anyone, until I met you."
Raven didn't know what locking consisted of. It wasn't a subject Osa explored with her before, but as he mentioned wanting that connection, she truly felt the same. The woman wanted nothing more then to feel him close to her, and he wanted the same, "I will lock with you, Osa. Y-yes."
