Title: Closer Rating: R Word Count: 164 Pairing: Team Bend-a-lot (Jon/Zahir) Round/Fight: 1/A Summary: Zahir only seeks to get closer to him, even if it means betraying him. Warning for sex.
----
Zahir could drown in her essence, in her heady scent of exoticness that was not so very different from his own. Her skin is like silk to the touch as he traces her soft, full curves and strokes the long, endless legs moving restlessly against him, but when she runs her hands down the hard planes of his back he can feel the callouses on her palms.
She is not a gentle lady, but she is not a man, either.
When he buries his face in her hair, breathing in flowers and K’miri sunshine, he only thinks that his hair is black, too. When he captures her mouth in a rough kiss, he imagines that his lips had touched this mouth, too. When she sprawls naked on the bed she shares with him, Zahir can only think that his bare body has touched these sheets, too.
This is the queen beneath him, he reminds himself for the hundredth time. It is not his king. QC by: inthefire

Love the imagery! And I'm quite fond of fics where Zahir's darker side shines through. The third turtle is particulalry awesome! ;D

I love how preoccupied Zahir is, and how he's more using Thayet for the connection than anything else.
True, but you really put four exquisite turtles together here. (Can you use 'exquisite' to describe turtles?)
