He chuckled. "Well, at least you didn't think i was in my thirties. Then I'd be worried." He said with a laughing grin.

She laughed softly and shook her head. “No of course not thirty. You’re obviously not that old.” She giggled again and kissed his cheek. “You’re young.”

He chuckled, rubbing her back again, fingers skimming lightly up and down. "Well." He replied with a smile. "First you said older, now you say younger? Make up your mind!" He teased.

She suck in a surprised breath as his fingers trailed up her back, biting her lip and smiling. “Would you prefer me to call you old man?” She asked with a slight smirk. “Because I can, Asher.”

He laughed softly. "Mm. Nope, my name works just fine." He kissed her forehead lightly, smiling. His fingers kept skimming up and down her back, light as feathers.

Arabella relaxed into his touch after a few moments, resting her head in the crook of his neck. “I like your name too.”

He chuckled softly, kissing her cheek. "Well, good." He replied, still skimming his fingers up and down her back, fingers feather light still.

She shuddered, a soft gasp leaving her lips. The breath was hot against his neck, her nose barely touching the skin there. Her fingers found his shirt and gently latched onto it.

He shifted slightly at the feeling of her breath on his neck, and kept running his fingers up and down her back lightly.

She smiled and began to relax slowly. “I’m glad to have met you Asher…” she murmured softly, closing her eyes and yawning sleepily. “I’m glad you’re my husband.”

He smiled. "And I'm glad you're my wife." He replied, kissing her cheek softly. He kept rubbing her back, resting his head on hers and humming softly.

Arabella smiled softly, her entire body prickling and growing sensitive to his touch. She craved more, and only slightly resented herself for it.

This was a huge step forwards.

Asher kept holding her gently, still rubbing her back in soft, smooth lines. He kept humming quietly, closing his eyes.

(Ooh if she falls asleep on him i could totally add drama + a bump in their relationship if you want me to!)

Her body began to relax more and more against him. Her breath grew deep and relaxed. Before she knew it, Arabella was drifting off, breathing in his scent.

(Yeeessss I was planning on having her sleep on him. That sounds perfect!!)

After she had been asleep for a bit, Asher gently picked her up and set her on a small couch off to the side, smoothing her hair out of her face after putting her down.

(Alright!! Ima have one of the women from the office be a little too flirty lol, maybe add some other stuff we'll see)

Arabella looked peaceful as she slept, her arms wrapping around herself when he left her to complete his work.

(Yeee go for it!)

He was working on answering emails again when there was a quick knock at the door. "Come in." He called without looking up.
A woman stepped inside, closing the door. She was different from Arabella in almost every way she could be. Tall. Blonde. Makeup to die for. Curvy. And rocking that business attire, too. "Hello. I do hope I'm not interrupting?"
Asher looked up. "Oh, no, its fine, miss Corrin." He replied. "What do you need?"

(Angry noises towards Miss Corrin XD)

Xio stirred slightly at the voice, but was still a little too far gone to be woken from it. She turned slightly, yawning and stretching.

(angry noises back from miss Corrin lol)

The woman glanced at Arabella, sitting on the edge of Asher's desk. "Well, I was wondering about a promotion?" She said, tilting her head slightly and folding her hands in her lap. "I was told to come see you?"
Asher sighed, rubbing his forehead. "I'm…really not in charge of that, miss Corrin." He replied slowly, keeping his eyes on hers, and not letting himself be distracted by…well. Anything.

(Ahaha. I’m like slightly defensive of my character from Corrin but at the same time I’m like, not. I’m over here like: YEAH SHES PLAIN BUT SHE HAS A GOOD HEART but at the same time I’m also like: YeeeeeeeeeEEEESSS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. SUFFER ARABELLA SUFFER!)

Arabella stood no chance against a woman of such strong curves and style. She was plain and rather boring. To put it lightly, Arabella had no sex appeal. She was pretty, yes, but not hot or sexy. And she was often very self-conscious about that fact. In her mind, if she hadn’t been married off, she would have never found a husband or a man to love her.

(loollll i do the same thing to my characters. I literally told someone in an RP "you can stab my character or whatever, just don't kill them" so my character ended up getting stabbed like six times and i was laughing manically going: iT'S FOR CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MWAHAHAHAHA YESSS LET HIM SUFFER! _{it was for character development i swear lol})

"Please, it's Laesa, dear." The blonde replied, swinging her feet a little bit. "And are you sure that there's…nothing, you can do?" She stood, walking over to Asher and trailing her fingers over his tie. "Absolutely nothing?"
Asher took a deep breath and looked up at her, consciously ignoring the fact that her chest was, well…a little too close to his face. "No. There isn't anything i can do." He replied slowly.
Laesa pouted, her lips red and full. Her finger trailed to the buttons of his jacket, slowly undoing them one by one. "There isn't anything that comes to mind?" She murmured in his ear.

(Duuuuuuude saaame. Like beat my character up fam give them emotional scars it’s for development XD)

Arabella became suddenly aware of another presence in the room. She stirred, hearing two voices instead of just the one she was used to. Her expression furrowed in confusion. She was still too disoriented to understand what was going on. Her eyes blinked open slightly, taking in the blonde hair and red lips.

(yessss XD and i feel like people are too careful in RPs? Like they want to avoid power playing so they avoid anything that could hurt the other person's character and its like "naw man, beat them to hell and back, i dont care!" Like the only thing i dont want my RP partner doing is legit killing my character, otherwise i dont care what they do)

Asher took a deep breath. "No, miss Corrin, there-!" He broke off in surprise as her lips met his, her hand slipping between his jacket and shirt, sliding over his abdomen and over his chest. He made a soft sound as she pulled his coat off over his shoulders, then started unbuttoning his shirt slowly.
Laesa's lips never broke contact with his, giving him no chance to speak as her hands slipped through the now half open shirt, running over his bare skin. She knew that she only had to turn him on enough until the Fae, more animal like, instinctive part of his mind took over. Because while the rest of him resisted, that part, the Fae part, didn't know the word no. She knew that about the Fae. She knew he would take her right there on the desk if only she could touch the right spots, get him excited.

Arabella’s brain and body processed what was going on far sooner than her actual mind did. She hopped to her feet, anger flooding through her body. The first thing the small female did was yank the woman off of Asher by her hair, a scowl and a disgusted look upon her face. Arabella growled lowly under her breath, sleepy eyes now wide awake and murderous.

“I hate slutty women like you. Going after a married man… do you have any idea what it feels like to see your husband kissing another woman? No I know you don’t. You don’t care for love or a happy ending. Get out.” She released Laesa, holding back the tears that wanted so desperately to fall.
