Gen frowned. “I am not going to turn red. You are going to turn red.” Well, it made sense to her. She started giggling and wound her arms around his neck, rubbing her shoulder up and down to get some skin-to-skin stimulation. She sighed happily. “You would be a good Weyrleader. I don’t think a lot of people like A’ver. I know Kenzie doesn’t. I know Fen and Lyrra don’t. They like you though.” She snaked her way down to wrap her legs around him. He was strong and warm and she didn’t want to let go because what if she did drown?
“How are we going to get me warm, bronze rider?” she purred. It sounded sexy in her head, it came out a bit slurred and slow. She grinned broadly at him (she thought it was a sensuous smile) and got very close to his face. In this position their chests were pressed bare together, and the shiver that ran down her back had nothing to do with the chill in the air.
