A spry nip to her chest brought a delicate giggle from her chords, body instinctively leaning in his direction to return the contact in any way - but Kade was already gone. Turning her head ever slightly, her amber eyes caught sight of the man before the second had turned.
Ava knew his body and would know it well, he was formidable and handsome, composed of the kind of power that muscles alone could not create. The straight spine, the stoic stare, all together he was the Guardian. But his dark form, bounding through the berry-sweetened air, moved effortlessly, the silver embroidering of his coat preventing him from slipping into the shadows of the night. And if she could not be moved, Ava would be content to watch him dance in the darkness forever - but she had power beyond that, and a will and desire even greater, to join Kade at his side.
So she did, bounding off into the wild night behind him, feeling every blade of grass beneath the leather of her pads. The cold wind that brushed against her cheeks could not dampen her grin, joyful and certain that she had found the one to run with her forever.
And then they stopped, two shadows entangled in the moonlight and woven between the beads of light that flashed around them. The open air did not intimidate her; in fact, its vulnerability inticed her. That need to touch him back still beneath the surface of her skin, only intensifying as ever moment passed. The heat surrounded her, flames licking the endings of her nerves ruthlessly, she felt no hesitation. Dressed in a sultry smile, Ava inched ever closer and closer, so the two of them could dance again.
