"Now you told Kegy you had to do this by yourself right? No help from her?" Trellyn had thought she'd seen a dolphin fin off to her right a few minutes ago as she'd looked over the bow of the small sailing boat the two had taken out for today's sailing test. Ednan needed to prove that he could man a ship, follow a map, and navigate around a designated island all on his own... and he couldn't do that if the young dolphin was giving him directional hints.

"Yes, I told her. Beside she and her dam were going to go hunt to the south," Ednan replied, his voice slightly annoyed.

Shards, he didn't have to be so defensive about it... and _shards_, now that the morning rain had cleared out everything was so hot and sticky!
She eyed the seat Carry was sleeping on and reflected on how shiny her hide looked as she propped her feet up and leaned back to sun. If she had to be hot and sticky, at least she was going to be comfortable!

Ednan tried to watch her without making it obvious that he was staring.
Being so close to her and not be able to touch her made him irritable.
Among other things too. His thoughts kept returning to that kiss on Turn's Beginning. The apprentice felt sweat trickling down his back. He didn't know if it was the weather or her proximity.

Trellyn felt the slight turn of the boat as Ednan adjusted the sail, and took the opportunity to peek at the man. **It really should be against the law to look that good without a shirt on...** she thought as she watched his muscles pop when he pulled on the line. She had told herself, and him, that their little indiscretion on the beach could never happen again; but each time she saw him, talked to him, touched him... it was just harder and harder to convince herself that they could stay apart.

Ednan picked up a towel and wiped his brow. "Man it's hot today," he remarked. He thought about putting his shirt on again, but it was too hot. Unfortunately, as a red head, he had tendency to burn easily.

"If you ever find the island, we can take a break and go for a swim..."
she tried to tease him but her head was suddenly very full. She recognized the source as Carry's emotions, and looked down to see her golden beauty very much awake and stretching.

"Ednan?" Trellyn's voice quavered as she instinctual grasped the man's arm for support. Her eyes were locked on the queen as she shot into the air and headed for a group of islands off in the distance.

"What's happening? Is she..." Ednan's sentence was interrupted when wave of...something...hit him. It wasn't as strong as in dragon's mating flight. (Living next to the weyr, he had felt a few of those.) But it was unmistakeably mating lust. Not that he needed any more to arouse him.
"Maybe we should head for the land."

Trellyn nodded but couldn't let go of his arm, she needed him, she needed his support. She shuddered slightly from the waves of need, lust, and desire, and tried to remember what she'd been told about gold firelizard flights. She could go back to her room... go and take care of the feelings in the privacy of her own room... only she didn't have a room here. Or she could just ignore them until they passed...
Shards! Could people really do that? It was too much to just ignore!
Or she could share it with someone. Release those emotions and energies with someone willing...

She could feel Carry calling to the males from the nearby islands.
They were coming, and she was ready for them. Trellyn looked at Ednan, fire and hunger in her eyes, would he be willing? She wanted him so badly, and she knew it wasn't just from the flight, but did he want her too? She clawed her way up to him and kissed him, a fevered needy kiss, and hoped he wouldn't reject her as she pressed her body against his.

Ednan lost all sense and conscious-thoughts when she kissed him. Only thing he could do was to respond to it with fever of his own. Did he want her? Did dragons flame Thread? "Shards, yes," he muttered, his hands exploring her body.

Trellyn stumbled while trying to undo Ednan's pants and she gave him a sly smile while she focused her hands on removing the small amount of clothes she had on. She knew she would regret this in a few hours, but as she watched the young man and she felt her queen's exultation as she wrapped tails with her chosen, Trellyn didn't care. He was going to be _hers_, at least for now!
