Taste of the Wild

 “I have three.” Taric answered with a smile. “Thomas, Gerrant and Reyn. They’ve all agreed and Gerrant happily agreed to being best man.” He finished before hugging Nidalee closer to himself. “As for getting you out of here and off of work quickly, I think I have a good idea of how.”

 Taric actually had a few plans in mind for that. Catnip, a few cat toys, packing her bags  into a cart and feigning injury. There were a few more too. He most likely wouldn’t do that last one, but there was that laser pointer trick he could try. The people in Piltover claimed it worked for grabbing an animal’s attention.

"Alright. It shouldn't take me long. I'll choose in the morning and have them come with to help me pick out a dress. I have to ask how you already know they will be your groomsmen. Have you had this planned in advance? I would almost expect you have a holy man ready to wed us at a drop of a pin."

Another delighted laugh, before her purring got louder, content to be with him. For poor Nidalee, he knew her biggest weakness: Her cat like tendencies.

fierce-beauty:

 “Of course I’m nervous.” Taric admitted. “But not because of how soon we’re getting married, I’ve been ready for that since I first fell for you.” He corrected. “I’m worried about how well I can supply you with happiness and comfort. I want you to feel and know that you’re loved and treasured more than any precious gemstone. To know that I love you dearly, and that I always will.”

 Another kiss came, this time to her cheek. Afterwards Taric scooped her up in his arms as he stood and sat on the freshly changed bed with her in his lap. There was much for him to do tonight such as planning their hotel room, getting their wedding location set. Not to mention letting everyone know that tomorrow they have the day off from work.

 “So how soon would you like to go on our honeymoon my lovely feline?” He asked. “You need to figure out who you want as your bridesmaids too. I’ve already got my side figured out. While you do that I can get our venue and hotel nights set up.” There was an endearing excitement in his tone.

"Hm. I have a good idea of who I would like. How many do you have? It's custom to match, correct? As for honeymoon... As soon as you figure out how fast and long you can keep my claws out of work."

A laugh as she sighed, leaning against him, closing her eyes.

 A chuckle came as his fiance pressed her finer to his nose.

 “I dare say you may be the only head maid anyone would believe stubbornly turned me down for a few years before saying yes.” Taric teased before kissing her finger. “But in the end you said yes, and it pleases me more than anything else in this world can.” He confessed.

 He now gently brought her to sit before him against the sit of the bed. From here the nobleman slowly brought his lips to Nidalee’s and planted a loving kiss upon her own.

 “As for our honeymoon spot I do remember.” He answered after breaking the kiss. “It’s still a large tourism spot. It’s an ancient city brought up to accommodate the modern day. It lies deep in the jungles south-west of Mount Targon. I hear they recently finished a road that leads there. I can easily have a honeymoon suite booked.” Taric added with a loving smile.

"That sounds purrfect."

A smile ever on her face, as the former warrior nuzzled against his side. She was feeling particularly affectionate after everything, especially since she was free to now.

"Are you nervous? Entering into marriage so quickly. I thought humans enjoyed courtship for awhile before such things."

“So you can hear me while I am in my feline form? Interesting. What brings you to the wilds, Queen?”

>>💮>> “Curiosity and the excitement of discovering something or someone new. Like yourself. You’re not an ordinary cougar, are you? Especially if you know my lineage.” Luxanna smiled, curtsying respectfully. “Forgive me if I am trespassing, noble one. I felt your presence I could not resist the urge to meet you.”

"You would be right."

She shifted into her human form, standing now to her feet, back arching to stretch out the feeling of having been running around on all fours. She swept her hair back into a ponytail, via a ribbon that had been around her wrist.

"Given you come in peace, you are not trespassing. I have heard many tales of how you help all. Those at peace with nature, please me. I'm sure I can sate your curiosity, if you'd like. After all, I know everything in this first."

fierce-beauty:

 “A cliche hm?” Taric answered with a chuckle. “I like the idea of a tropical region, it makes me think of the day we met. A day that changed my life for the better.” He mused, hoping his honest thoughts might get Nidalee a little flustered. With her skin tone he had no real way to see it, but there was a work around. “Have any specific place in mind?”

 The tub had finally been scrubbed clean and a sigh of relief came from Taric as he stood up. Cleaning it had been a chore, but at least it was done. What had come of its use though also served as a reason to smile. The bath had broken the ice for them after all these years. With the tub and the floors taken care of the bathroom was now completely in order so Taric began drying the floor in the bedroom proper. In hindsight he realized that perhaps he should have started with that floor and worked his way into the bathroom. There was an upside though as cleaning the water off the bedroom floor meant he could constantly steal glances at the beautiful feline woman who would be his wife as of tomorrow.

"Hmm... Do you remember the place you visited the trip before last? Where you brought me that beautiful carving? How about there? You said it was a high tourist spot, yes?"

It took her a bit of work to speak without seeming flustered over his statement hence why she avoided addressing it completely. With a final flourish of a pillow case place on the last pillow, she declared it to be done. She then moved to kneel down in front of him, pressing a finger to his nose.

"I dare say you'd be the only nobleman anyone would believe the stories of hearing him do housework to assist the head maid."

fierce-beauty:

An endearing smile was returned when the head maid smiled his way. Once she was gone Taric got to work in the bathroom. He got the floor taken care of first thing so there was no risk of either of them slipping. Nidalee was the least likely to slip and fall between them.

 Once the floor was dry Taric began work on the harder part; scrubbing down the tub. The bath salts made for a slightly more rough cleaning, but nothing too hard. The nobleman was happily humming a tune to himself as he worked. How could he not? He had proposed to Nidalee and this time she said yes. The two had finally bed one another and overall his feelings were being accepted. There was much joy to be had by him.

 “Finally, everything I ever hoped and dreamed for can be attained.” He beamed. “Now to set a goal we can aim toward together. Something that would bring happiness to both our lives.” Taric thought aloud. “Ah, I’m getting ahead of myself. Wedding, honeymoon and then I can think about such things. I wonder where she’d like to go for our honeymoon.”

"How about someplace tropical, like what you've told me about?"

She commented as she reentered to the room, promptly stripping the bed of its covers.

"It seems like a pleasant enough place to be. Warmth. Water. Some exotic things I haven't seen before. Besides, I think we can manage a classic honeymoon cliche."

fierce-beauty:

 A smile and chuckle came from Nidalee’s words and actions. Taric was more than pleased with the fact he had made her happy. So much that a satisfied hum left the nobleman’s lips as he too got off of the bed.

 “I’m glad I have. I’ve wanted the opportunity to make you happy in a romantic manner for so long.” Taric admitted as he stretched a bit. “Would you like help with the bed or would you like me to start in on the bathroom?”

"Go ahead and start on the bathroom, I got this under control."

Truth was, she'd probably have the bed taken care of I less than five minutes. Changing the bed was like nothing to her. She flashed him one more smile before quickly scurrying off to get clean sheets.

fierce-beauty:

—≪🐾≫”Hm… That is true. You’ve been waiting for so long and I’m a woman of little patience… Tomorrow. Let’s be wed tomorrow. I’m sure I can have a dress made by the morrow.”

 “That would take you the entire night Nidalee. You wouldn’t be well rested. I’d prefer, if you’re willing, that you buy a dress in the morning and not worry about the expenses.” Taric suggested. “That way we can have this whole night to clean up and share a bed until dawn.”

 Taric had a tuxedo ready. He’d bought it a few years ago to have it on stand by if she should ever agree to marry. Now that she had his purchase would pay off, but it also meant one less thing to prepare for tomorrow. Even though they would share a bed for their years to come he still wanted her sharing his bed tonight. Even if it felt a little selfish.

"If that is what you wish, My lord - - um. Taric. Then I shall stay with you. The early tomorrow I will hunt for a dress while you make arrangements for us to be wed. You have... Made me really happy. Honestly."

She nuzzled his cheek once more, before moving to start changing the bed sheets.
