outworldcowboyIn the few hours since he had seen Skarlet, Erron had made it back to where he was staying to make himself a little more presentable. He'd showered, shaved and dressed a bit sharper than usual. He was careful to match his boots, hat and jacket. He had even dabbed himself with a little Dragon's Blood scented oil behind his ears. He'd always enjoyed how his own scent blended with the that of the resin.
He glanced over his reflection in the looking glass, gave his coat a final straightening, and headed off on his way. He was a little early, but that was a given. You were not supposed to keep a lady waiting...it was a mighty bad look.
The sun was setting and the cool of the evening was creeping in as lanterns were lit. It was a lovely scene and it was a refreshing reminder to Erron why he preferred Outworld with its blend of exotic adventures to his own Realm. It felt like something he'd read about in an old adventure story...but it was real and there...ready and waiting to be experienced as long as he could live.
He quickly found himself waiting across the street from the palace. He wasn't so bold as to knock on the door or ask the guards to let him in when he didn't have an active contract. That would surely make him look a little too comfortable with being there.
Regardless...he was there, ready and waiting.

Skarlett stretched to kiss his lips before she slid out of bed and started the bath. She also took hold of the bell pull to summon breakfast for them. Another benefit of being part of the elite of the court. She was afforded luxuries others were not and she'd been able to prepare with him in mind.
Hot frothy water filled the oversized tub, at least four people could fit in if they wanted, but the scented oil added to the water hinted of cinnamon and spices.

He watched her go, enjoying the view before easing up and following her. He leaned over it and sniffed it, taking in the pleasant aroma and looking forward to how the scent would cling to his skin for days after. He reached a hand into the water to test it and he gave a pleased sigh.
"Skarlet, I swear you spoil me."
Erron didn't sound bothered about that one bit.
He slipped his foot in carefully before easing the rest of himself into the little piece of heaven that was that oversized tub. He dipped his head under the water briefly and came up, brushing his hair back and wiping the sleep from his eyes.

"You are too tempting to try to keep." She knew it wasn't right for either of them, but the idea was sweeter than the wine they'd enjoyed the night before. Perhaps one day if things were different, but as they were now she had to enjoy what she could of their periodic meetings.

He sighed and rolled his shoulders, letting them relax as she sponged his back.
"It is too tempting to want to stay."
Honesty from Erron Black might be harsh, but he'd never lie to her.

He was no delicate flower or flawless skinned model, his handsomeness was real. It came from work and honing his body and his craft.
She admired him, she adored him, she loved him. That made him the most dangerous man in all the realms to her.
"So, knowing I cannot let you stay, and you cannot choose to, we have a short time to enjoy. What would you like to do first?"
