As they sat, Jake rested his head on her lap as she petted his ears; both of them had their eyes closed, Jake's tail wagging slightly. Neither didn't have their masks on, and her cloak was neatly folded, and a stone was placed on top.
"Hey Elena… I hate to bring it up, especially during this, but at some point we would have to talk about it." He said as he looked out onto the city.
"What is it?" She asked as she looked down at him, concern entering her eyes.
"What's been happening in the courts? Have investigations begun?" He asked.
Elena thought for a moment, her mind recalling who she had kept in touch with. "Many nobles are angry that you were able to walk in and out without being punished. Also, there have been 5 investigations started, from what I heard, yet I do not know who exactly they are investigating." Elena murmured; she also knew they would have to talk about this.
Jake thought for a moment, "Has Forrest Young made any moves? His name was on the list." He asked.
Elena nodded, "Yeah, some say he's hiding, while others are just saying he's sick, but his younger brother Gellen has made some moves, although I don't know why or what exactly." She said his head was still on his lap, and she scratched his fluffy ears.
"Gellen, huh? He is also in the trade," he said. Her eyes went wide at the 2 brothers who were in the slave trade. "W-what?" She stammered out, her hands freezing.
"Gellen is in the trade, but he is being forced, and he wants out…" Jake said as his mind started to think.
Elena, knowing his distant gaze as his gears turned and he crafted plans, returned to petting and scratching his ears.
"Yeah… That could work," he murmured.
Elena looked down at him and smiled, "Well, my wolf, what is your master plan that you just created?"
"Well, my fox," his voice was low as he grinned, "The Young house is powerful, but imagine if Gellen betrayed his brother, exposed him, and cleared out the corruption from within, he would be seen as a man who just helped the kingdom. His power would grow, giving us an ally; we shall be the shaft of a spear, while he will be the tip of it. This would be our first strike, and it shall break the shield."
She thought over his plan, but she had a few questions. "How will we expose Forrest exactly? Also, how would we get Gellen onto the plan, or our plan to purge corruption?"
"I got a few ideas, and I also got some loyal people who can help," Jake said, closing his eyes.
"Will these people have to learn about us?" She asked.
"Yeah… They would, I mean, I can try to keep it a secret, but," he sighed, knowing the risk of letting more people know about their relationship. "They would learn about it eventually, and one of them has a Horus Hawk, which will be very helpful."
Elena's eyes went slightly wide at the mention of a Horus Hawk, a rare magical creature known for its stealth and loyalty. He knew a person who had one?
"I am guessing you're gonna use it as a messenger bird?" Elena's voice grew slightly cold as she realized something.
Jake nodded, then noticed she had stopped petting his ears. His eyes finally opened as he saw a hand coming toward him. "Heh?"
She rapidly hit him on the head lightly but with fury. Her fury came from that he had a messenger bird all this time and didn't use it once for who knows how long, leaving them with no communication toward each other for months.
"ow ow ow ow ow," Jake said rapidly at each hit, trying to cover his head.
After Elena felt satisfied with her punishment she dealt to Jake, "Sorry," he murmured.
She sighed as she started to scratch his ears again, "You're gonna tell this person about our relationship, and you're gonna use that hawk to trade letters between us."
"Yes, ma'ma," he said, smiling up at her. She could only shake her head.
He sat up, their eyes meeting, as he leaned in and kissed her. Her mind drifted off from her fury as his lips took hers.
The world faded away once again between them. Elena wrapped her arms around Jake's neck, pulling him closer, as his hands moved to her waist. She moaned at his touch, his hands drifting to the hems of her shirt, as they broke from their kiss, their breaths heavy.
He smirked as his hands slipped under her shirt, Elena closing her eyes, her breath hitching as his hands rubbed her skin. She could feel the intent behind his touch. Her amber eyes opened, glowing with desire, meeting his golden eyes that reflected her own feelings, as she leaned into him and kissed him again.
He let her weight push him down as she climbed on top of him. Her legs wrapped around him tightly, while her hands slid under his shirt. A soft moan escaped him as her hands traced his muscles.
She moved her hands across his body, feeling the coarse yet soft skin, along with scars hidden beneath his shirt. She wasn't surprised by his scars and loved them just the same. His hands moved up her back, over her smooth skin, and stopped at the clasp of her bra.
"Jake," she moaned, feeling the heat radiating from both of them. Their warmth warmed each other on the cold rooftop, alone together in this intimate moment.
He smirked as he unclasped her bra, which slid off and fell, exposing her nipples through her shirt, while his hands cupped her breasts. She moaned at his touch, pulling him in for a fiery kiss as his hands explored her breasts, his thumbs brushing against her nipples.
Her hands reaching his back and her fingers digging into his muscles as her hips moved, she could feel him, feel how hard, feel how hot he was. Their breaths quicken as her hips move against the fabric, the only thing stopping them.
His lips separated from hers as his teeth and lips grazed across her neck, his hot breath brushing against her skin, causing her own breath to quicken. Her hands gripped his back tighter as he matched her rhythm.
"Jake," she whimpered, her mouth opening and closing, at all the sensations: his warmth from his chest, his thumbs rubbing her nipples, his heat against hers as the fabric between them moved.
She felt an electrifying surge building up in her, and she could feel it in Jake as well. It slowly grew as they continued. Their lips met once more, their heated breaths exchanged between them, then, both of them gasped, feeling the surge shooting through their bodies, their breaths shuddering together at the feeling.
Her back arched as she clung onto him, the surging passing through her nerves like fire.
Her body went limp as she tried to regain her breath, her head resting on Jake's chest, his heartbeat and breaths matched hers.
She closed her eyes as she rested against him. They lay there for moments, then Elena chuckled. "Lily will want all the details of this, and I am gonna go mad." Jake joined in her laugh.
"That was a nice show, boss," a feminine voice said as they both froze.
