She had been almost close enough to reach out and touch, and in fact Dira had planned on doing just that. a sort of ‘tag, you’re it’ gesture. But everything suddenly flipped when she had to deal with the log and then, of course, Zoi herself. A small cry of surprise as Dira suddenly found herself falling. Breathing hard, Dira found the one who was captured and her dark eyes gazed down at Zoi in surprise. Delighted surprise, but still surprise. “I should…” But she couldn’t even mentally finish the thought. Should, could, would. Who knew at this point. It wasn’t resistance or unwillingness that keep her from immediately leaning in to kiss this magnificent woman, but the reminder that she had a duty to take this just a tiny bit more cautiously, even if they both had already cleared the air over the matter.

Zoi laughed as she caught Dira by surprise both literally and figuratively. They were both breathing hard from their sudden sprint as their bodies pressed together by the log. Zoi’s arms were strong, holding Dira to her. Even though it would have been really easy to let herself control go in this moment, to kiss Dira passionately against the log they both had vaulted over until they were breathless and entangled in each other, Zoi was more disciplined than that. She looked up into Dira’s eyes and nodded.
“You should, I should, and we will. But I caught you so I think…” She grinned. “Yes, I deserve a reward.”
A shiver crept down her spine again, even if she didn’t know what Zoi had in mind for her ‘reward’. That could mean so many things and while Dira could have tried to read the other woman’s mind, she chose not to. There was something to be said for letting each other communicate what they wanted (or didn’t want) in a moment like this.
She leaned forward as she pulled Dira closer, closing her eyes a bit as her cheek brushed ever so softly against Dira’s and then down the woman’s neck to place a soft, barely there kiss on the delicate skin where her neck met her shoulder. It was hard not to continue, not to drown herself in the scent and warmth of this person, not to pull her closer still and do all that she wanted without regard for their surroundings or lives. Yet she relaxed her arm’s grip and pulled herself away anyway.

Breathing in Zoi and revelling in the closeness, Dira felt an unbidden wash of disappointment when Zoi pulled away. And yet… she was glad as well. Though there was space between them, Dira reached out and brushed the back of her fingertips across Zoi’s cheek, taking a step away as she drew her hand back to herself. “I’m going to go for a shower now,” she said, willing herself to take another step away. It was almost painful and yet, there was the spoken promise between them that the next time… well, there were things to look forward to.

Zoi took in a deep and shaky breath as she stepped back fully. Her arms slipping with the last hint of need from Dira’s waist. It had been hard not to lean into the delicate caress of Dira’s hand on her cheek yet she powered through her desire to keep at least some distance between them for now. She almost about to say “Want me to join” when she bit it back but let the idea of the possibility hang on her forward thoughts. She grinned as she took a few more steps back.
The thought had crossed her mind too, but it seemed both of them were willing to let the game continue for awhile longer. Just how long they could keep it going was a very good question and one she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted to test out to its full potential.
“Excellent idea after a run. I’ll…” Zoi bit her lip and allowed herself to check out Dira’s body in full. There could be no mistaking her thoughts. “See you soon I am sure.”

“Hopefully sooner,” Myqian said with an unabashed grin. Escape. Leave now! she told herself knowing that despite the space between them, every part of her wanted to toss all their efforts at restraint out the airlock.
Grabbing her water bottle and stepping off the running space, Dira turned and walked out of the gym, grabbing her belongings. She didn’t date look back.

Zoi watched her go with unabashed appreciation and then turned back to the trail. She had a lot of energy to burn and the run would be almost as necessary as the cold shower later. Even though her running was usually filled with a fairly quiet mind after some initial clearing, she couldn’t keep her mind clear today. If things continued between her and Dira the way they had been, there was going to be a lot of hope in her future.
She grinned and sped up her pace.
