“Impossible. I can still count each of your eyelashes…” Kali mused with a hefty, pouting sigh. Sitting back against Sienna’s hips, her slightly-trembling fingertips curiously traced those flushed features, “It’s not fair, you know. I could never get my lashes as thick as yours…and you don’t even try!”
Those same digits lifted to work loose the top few fastenings on her blouse, the heat of the tent becoming a bit stifling from both alcohol and the approaching summer weather. “If you swallowed your pride and bat them at me on occasion, you could get whatever you want, you know that?” Shrugging the garment off, she exhaled in mild relief as her sweat damp skin found the night air, through the thin, gauzy fabric of her camisole. “Mmm…why must we travel in this heat?” A drop of perspiration trickled down the slope of her throat, before disappearing into the flimsy neckline of that barely-concealing fabric — which left hardly anything to the imagination. “What I wouldn’t give to be lounging on a beach, or swimming in a lake, right now…you might even be able to talk me into skinny-dipping, in this heat.”
“Yes, well, I didn’t exactly ask for them. Genetics. They’re really... ah, annoying.” The tigress sputtered out.
Sienna Khan was screaming. On the inside, anyway. Were she of sound mind, not extremely distracted, and not far too tipsy than she had any right to be, then she might have been thankful that her dark skin hid most of her blush. Most being the operative word, given how rapidly her heart was beating.
Those piercing golden eyes of hers, usually so sharp and delighted on the battlefield, now honed in on every bead of sweat that adorned Kali’s skin. It seemed so unfair. Kali didn’t have the slightest clue what she was doing! How... sensual she was being. What all of this was doing to her...
Sienna clenched her thighs, her throat the equivalent of the Vacuan Desert. “I could, ah... Draw up a cold bath?” The fierce warrior asked slowly, trying not to sound like the blushing and bashful schoolgirl she felt like. Images of Kali’s naked flesh, glistening and wet, surged through Sienna’s mind at the very suggestion. She bit the inside of her cheek hard enough to draw blood, if only to distract herself and draw her mind away from such thoughts.
“Or... uh...” She tried so hard to think of a solution, to address Kali’s complaints, but all she could do was stare at her best friend. “...What would you do if I batted my eyelashes at you?” The words stumbled out of her mouth before she could stop them.
