I was thankful that the ride to the town house was short and exited after Janyx. Silently we moved through the halls and I guided us to bedroom. As we entered I pushed the door shut and pressed myself to Janyx, my lips finding his and cupping his face in my hands.

Willingly I returned her kisses. Gods the mere taste of her was enough to set my heart pounding. But we had things to speak of. Reluctantly I pulled back, sweeping errant strands of her dark hair behind her ear.
"Evie. We do need to talk." helplessly I pressed a kiss on her smooth neck. I didn't really want to talk, but things had to be said between us before we lost all sensibility.

I sighed and furrowed my brows softly. "What is it Janyx?" I asked in fear.

I ran my hand through my hair and tried to think of what I had originally wanted to say. It was all nasty and wooing, comical almost now that I was here and she hadn't scorned me.
"Well, that's what lovers do after a fight, yes? They talk. So- I'm confined to my quarters for however long my Dowayne sees fit. I caused a bit of a scandal after I left you that night, and for three nights after. She's not pleased. And- I'm sorry, and I'm not. Elua take it, I had a perfectly dashing, diabolical speech all practiced and I can't even think of it right now." I pulled her close and rubbed the frown lines formed between her brows. I hated hearing that note of fear in her voice.

I looked up at his beautiful face and smiled. "I'm sorry Janyx, I was stupid please forgive me. I'm done playing games, your too important to me to let go of." I pressed my head to his chest.
"Please stay Janyx." I whispered softly.

"With you Sparrow? For as long as we can stand each other, and remain alive. Although I fear one day one or both of us will end up dead from one of our fights." I smiled wryly but kissed the top of her head lovingly.
"But I cannot stay with you tonight, carriad. I still have a living to make at Heliotrope, and Valeraine can only be pushed too far before snapping, even with me. Especially concerning me. I try the patience of a saint. I hate the idea of money passing between us, but the only way she'll let me free is through a contract. Come tomorrow. As is , I needs must be getting back before I'm discovered." I grit my teeth a little, biting down the anger. I felt like a damn school boy not a man grown, sneaking about to steal a moment with my ladylove.

I leaned over pressing my face to his chest.
"Alright." I said in a sigh. "When tomorrow?" I looked up at him and caressed his face with my hand. "I don't think I can wait that long." I smiled saddly and kissed his jaw.

I clasped her hand with my own and brought her palm to my lips. Gods, I had to enjoy this sweetness while I could.
"Afternoon, an hour or so before dinner, Valerain is usually most receptive then, she usually has a nap and wakes much refreshed. I know it seems a terribly long time, but Evie, this has to be done right. Until I find something else, it's all I have to offer you besides myself." Never more had I wished I wasn't a landless, nameless bastard abandoned and forgotten. this beautiful creature loved me, and I was not nearly worthy of her, or her bloodlines. And yet I loved her anyway, would stay with her even though it would cause us both pain eventually.

I furrowed my brows.
"What do you mean Janyx?" I asked feeling confused slightly.

I sighed and ran my hands through my hair in mixed frustration and habit.
"Sparrow, I have a little money set aside, maybe enough to buy a small house outside the City. Otherwise, I am completely dependent on my House, and the living I make as an adept in the Night Court. If I anger Valerain excessively, I have nowhere else to go, darling. No family. Few friends, and I would never impose on anyone else. I may be fully marqued, but I still need the income being at Heliotrope gives me." I felt my jaw stiffen and a curling feeling of embarrassment and pride coil my gut.

I shook my head and stepped forward pressing myself to him. I would have suggested he live with us but I knew he wouldn't find any comfort in that proposition.
"Then go so it will be tomorrow sooner." I whispered, my face pressed to his chest.

I held her close, just taking in the feel of her in my arms, the scent of oranges and vanilla drifting from her hair. I was such a fool, mad too and no doubt setting myself up for ruin, and her as well. But I hardly cared.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Sparrow." I kissed her, full and lingering before tearing myself away. As much as I wanted to stay, peel her gown off and lose myself in her utterly, I held on to my sanity. I left her standing in the middle of her bedroom and wished that just once I didn't have to leave. But I had to, and made my way swiftly back to Heliotrope before I was discovered missing.
