Oh that just her heart skip a beat! It was an amazing feeling to hear someone say that and mean it. Luckily her heart was healthy enough for this, otherwise she'd be dying from it... Literally.
" And I.. I lo.."
Before she could finish, his mouth consumed hers, his tail brushed along her back, his arms wrapped around her. Oh how she was melting in his arms again.
Without really thinking, Rynn jumped and wrapped her legs around Athan's waist, giving her a better position to kiss instead of being so much shorter than him at times.

Athan wasn't too worried that his kiss cut her off, he knew what she was saying and his own heart skipped a beat or two from the thought. And then one of the best things ever happened, she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist. Being a naga he happily shifted his lower half a little to give her some support in this position and held her closer with his arms, finally she was able to wrap around him in a way instead of vice versa... and she was good at it too. Often he forgot how their height differed when he wasn't intentionally lowering himself down on his coils, how they gave him extra height when he didn't really need it. But they were so useful for other things, things he would be demonstrating soon.

It was funny how ones fear became a crush. When Rynn first met Athan, she had been intimidated by how big he was and how tall he could make himself.. In many ways she had been frightened of him. Now she couldn't seem to keep him off her mind.
Keeping a firm but gentle hold with her legs, she encouraged the kiss on, once again exploring with her tongue.
Then out of spur of the moment it seemed that she didn't like how his vest was getting in the way, slowly she worked it off his broad shoulders, hoping he'd get the idea to take it off. Eventually nothing would be in the way of either of them, but let's just start with the vest. If she could encourage that off then everything else would fall into place so easy like.

Oh, right, the vest. Athan's primary (and usually only) piece of clothing. As she slipped it down off his shoulders he carefully moved one arm from her back and out of the vest, then the other, letting it fall to the ground behind him. Yes, one vest down, still a few more articles of clothing left to go. But unlike previous times, no matter how badly he wanted to just rip off her garments, Athan was letting her set the pace on that. Besides, she looked sexy in just about anything but shirt and pants torn down the front wasn't exactly up to the school's dress code.

Having taken off the vest, she resumed her kneading and purring from earlier.
Oh but she would be purring even more if Athan ripped her clothes off, maybe not the pants but she did have tons of shirts to replace the one she was wearing. She wouldn't blame him for wanting to take it slow with her, but in this case she would prefer it if she was dominated instead of taking the lead.
Breaking the kiss momentarily, she slowly removed her shirt, causing her body to stretch and her back to arch as she played the short version of tug-a-war with it, winning and letting it slip out of her claws as she looked at him, then moving in to take over his mouth once more.

Athan could hardly contain himself as she was taking the shirt off, sneaking in a little kiss or two to her stomach and chest before she was "free" again. Once she started kissing him again and he felt her bare fur against him more, the naga couldn't resist. He slid his hands down her sides and started teasing at her last article of clothing, eager to free her of it but not so eager to lose her legs from around his waist. But if they wanted to get to the best part, it would have to be endured for a few moments.

Oh how she ejoyed the moment of kissing on her stomach, the feel of his skin against her fur.
This hybrid was absolutely in heaven, thoroughly enjoying everything right now. When he started tugging at her pants, she couldn't help but giggle as they seemed to cause just a little trouble.
Giving in and releasing his waist, she slowly slid out of her pants, kicking them off as they got stuck around her ankles. Once they were off, she was completely nude in front of him, ears falling back as a blush flushed over her features once again. The way Athan stared made her feel good but awkward as well.

"How did I get so lucky, to find a goddess in my coils?" Athan kissed her deeply and wrapped a smaller coil around her, gently caressing her from her hips down to her calves and back up. Yes, the greatest beauty around and she was honoring him with her presence. Of course he didn't know that others had seen her without clothing before, to some extent at least. Fortunately for him he was probably the first, or at least the first in this area, to be so close to her when she was in this condition. And the best was yet to come.

Smirking shyly and moving close to him as he kissed her, she couldn't help the wave of heat beginning to surge through her entire body. Athan's touch was so much more gentle than what his ever was. Every touch, kiss... embrace..
Everything was so much better, she had to keep reminding herself that he was dead and this one was not him. Athan was kind and gentle, not cruel and abusive to get what he wanted.
Feeling her knees going weak at his caressing, she wrapped her arms around his neck again and hoped that her assumptions would be correct.
Kissing him, she let it all linger, slowly getting her legs to cooperate and wrap around him again.

Athan was only really firm with his coils and his caresses if she wanted him to be. Even then he had his limits, never enough to bruise or break anything. Every second with Rynn was precious to him, the last thing he needed was to spend time with her in a hospital bed because he squeezed too hard or anything. Of course she was free to be rough with him too, he didn't mind losing a little blood... just... again a hospital bed relationship wasn't what he had in mind.

Tonight was not going to be meant for being rough as they had been the last time they were together like this. No. Rynn wanted to be gentle, or rather try to be since she never really had a chance to relax and try it. She wanted to be gentle, but still be able to be stern only when she need be.
Of course, she would have to learn as, when she was much younger, it had been beat into her that being gentle and kind brought but pain. She wanted to escape her old habits, wanting to actually look at a life without having bitter habits hovering about her aura.
Extending her claws out fully, they were near three and a half inches long, something that could truly kill instantly if the right mark was pierced. But she did not intend to use them as such, instead she moved her arms just to tease/tickle his back... And hoping he wouldn't jerk around too badly as she could accidentally hurt him without meaning to, afterall, she had proved it on Blake that her claws were no joke when it came to dragon scales.

Yes, Rynn was beautiful, sexy, and deadly all at the same time. But she wasn't like others, she didn't try to use that beauty to make that third part easier. No, Rynn tried to use that third element to discourage the other two from being commented upon or tested. Mmm, and when she put those lethal claws to good use teasing him, ohh it was perfect. And he never doubted the power behind those claws, or anything else about her. He respected it, respected her, and he also treasured her. He wanted to have more gentle times with her like tonight, not just always doing the same rough play they did last time. Too much of that and neither of them would be making it into their later years without crutches and a few dozen other injuries to last the rest of their lives.

Hard to as it was to keep from laughing as she teased his back muscles with her claws, she could not help but let out a giggle that also sounded alluring.
He seemed so shy about being so near her, yet so confident and eager. He was different, but how different would really depend on how he would react to if she was having a very bad day.
Luckily, no one really got to see her fight on a bad day, those who did were usually at the end of her claws begging for mercy when she would give none.

Pushing those darkened thoughts to the back of the mind, Rynn sheathed those claws and pulled herself closer to him.
Oh this was too good. Wiggling her body in a seducing manner, the hybrid nipped at Athan's bottom lip, growling in that same tone that she had used all those nights ago.

Athan wasn't about to let anything scare him away from Rynn. Even on her worst days he wasn't willing to back off... okay, maybe back off a little physically but not emotionally. At the moment though backing off physically was nowhere near the front of his mind, getting closer was his top priority. Now things were picking up, more like their first encounter and driving him mad with pleasure. He let her seduce him, nibble him, hungry for more. It was about time to get to the best part, if she was ready.

Smiling with a seductive glint to those sapphire eyes, the hybrid couldn't help but bite ahold of his bottom lip. Tugging on it with just a bit of force, she let go, licked his chin and went in for a kiss.
There was not a whole lot more she could say that would foretell her being more ready.
That is without moving a hand down below to play around and tease even more.
No, she was trying to stay calmer than she had the first time. Remembering back on it, she seemed to have been so hungry for that attention she had almost lost herself to it.
