I companionably escorted Geraldine out of the Patron and onto the early evening streets of Night’s Doorstep. Once we were clear of the establishment I let my arm slip comfortably around the small of her back. The evening was fresh and clean like spring tends to be and that put a little extra spring in my step. Besides I was happy with this lady beside me. I peered at her with a teasing grin “So any short cuts in mind?”

His steps were full of mirth, matching my own - it was as though we were merely happy and comfortable together, without games or other considerations to keep us guessing. That thought made my heart skip a little beat.
"Short?" I replied, looking up at him. "I'm sure you can think of something," I said with a teasing grin. I let my body press into his side a little - it was still proper, more looking like I was cold, than a sensual act, but it gave me a little of the warmth of him that I was seeking.

I gave her a feral grin and let my arm slide more fully around her body and tugged her to a side alley. There was in fact a short cut this way but it also hid us from prying eyes. I was attempting to be mostly good and behave though. But the fact she made me feel so complete made that so difficult. "You know you really should not encourage me in those directions" I asked in a sultry tone as we started to leave the hustle and bustle of early evening behind us. I grinned at her and held the gaze of those very pretty eyes "I mean you feel so comfortable at my side I really need little encouragement."

I smiled softly, my heart full of wonder at the way our bodies were fitting together so wonderfully. "I agree that we should behave," I said as we walked. "But at the same time, I feel this painful hunger for you, all the time." The moment the words left my mouth, I looked away, embarrassed for being so straightforward.
The alley was a little bit dark, and we were isolated. I looked at him, but did not stop walking - as he said, we were trying to behave.

At her words I paused and turned to face her pulling her into my arms and a snug embrace. "I feel a definite hunger for you as well Dine" I nuzzled my nose and lips against her as I spoke. "And just being near you makes it so very, very hard to behave" and with that I let my lips softly mold to hers then part. My arms tightening around her slightly and pulling her body close to mine our curves and angles melding into seeming one body.

My heart skipped when he paused, and I almost wanted to run away, but the pull of him was stronger, and so I found myself pressed to him into a dark alley, our bodies finding each other in ways natural and comfortable. The tender proximity of his face, the gentle caress of his lips and his breath stole my own a little, and as he descended on me to press his lips to mine, I smiled, my lips parting to receive his kiss.

I delicately stroked my tongue against hers and then let our lips softly part only to meld once more for a lingering moment. Then I whispered against her full and flushed lips "Now that feels much better."

Edwyn's kiss felt like it was a first. The first.
Against him, eyes closed and abandoned, I writhed a little, returning the kiss slowly, tenderly, carefully, as though our lives depended on it. It was a soul kiss, and it was tender and gentle, and quintessentially better than any kiss I'd ever given or received.
His whisper against my lips was echoed by a soft sigh on my part, and a tender murmur, "Yes, it does."

I let out a soft sigh as I felt her writhe against me and pulled her tighter feeling her breasts smashed deliciously against my broad chest and our pelvises work together in a perfect fit. Elua but we were in an alley again and I wanted her again, but it was more than the physical it was all of her. She was the most caring woman I had ever encountered and I craved more all the time. “This may be the most pleasant evening meal I have ever spent” I mused whilst still holding her close. “We have to do this more often.”

I laid my head to his shoulder, smiling softly, and through the fabric I could feel his chiseled flesh, his strength and his manliness. I took in the smell of him, molding myself to him in an embrace that wasn't really sexual, but rather one for emotions. "It is the same for me," I said softly against his shoulder. In his embrace, I felt safe and cared for, protected. I closed my eyes an instant, just seeping in the warmth of his body, listening to his pulse, trying to imagine the sensation of his skin against mine.

I did not add any words but simply let my embrace convey them. Yes, I was terribly attracted to Geraldine but just holding her meant a lot to me. The sweet smell of her hair as I nestled my nose into it. The soft feel of her feminine curves against mine. The simple and warm feel of holding one who cared for me as a real person not just the strikingly handsome adept and amusing bed partner. Sex could be had about anyplace with our race, but real connection was another matter.

The embrace lasted a while, and eventually I looked at him and kissed his chin lightly. "Shall we, sweet Eddie? Or do you wish to dance in this alley?" I smiled - he made me feel happy inside.

I chuckled and kissed her back "I seem to recall I enjoy dancing in allies with you, but since we are behaving I think it means we should." I reluctantly disentangled but kept my arm about her waist.

"I really, really would prefer it be otherwise," I said sincerely as I pressed myself to his side, and set to a walking motion. "But tempting fate twice in a row.... I don't know, really..."

I set off with her and nodded "Yes, this is true" I added with a sigh. "Though I suppose since we are both adepts and the like we are not likely to die from lack of attention in the bed chamber. Or really have lack of attention for that matter." I frowned a bit as I looked down "I would rather it be you though."

I sighed, "Well, you are free, so I wouldn't doubt it. But I... I haven't played these games since the Coronation," I said in a sad whisper. "Were it not for you, I would have had to wait until the L'Envers wedding to have another bit of attention."
I shrugged. Such was my life, what could I do?
"I'd rather it be you as well," I said under my breath.
Thou, and no other.

I rubbed the small of her back and made a light cooing noise "I was referring to assignations. Though I do not take many anymore to be honest." I let out a soft sigh of breath "The occasional partner and friend but then we saw how that had me feeling before we met."

I shrugged, and looked up at him with sincerity. “Far be it from me to tell you what to do with your freedom, Eddie. What use would it be to you otherwise?” I leaned my head on his shoulder a short moment, and added, “We are Naamah’s servants, what other fate could we have? Besides, I will be having my share of patrons, no doubt – I want my marque done – I’ve delayed enough.”
Besides, we'd only known each other a day.

I tilted my head an looked at her and smiled ruefully. Her words made sense of course as they always did. Level headed, the thought suddenly slipped into my mind and it made me smile. That best described Geraldine. Well when we were not coupling like frenzied animals in an alley. "Sound advice my level headed friend" I spoke softly and grinned. "I want your marque done as well."

I nodded, grimly wondering if I would ever dare go back to Darien's shop to get my marque worked on. "I usually am, when I'm not over my head in wine," I replied, trying to keep my tone light. "It seems you bring out of me the wilder girl, really."
I stayed quiet - I didn't want to speak more of it. My house cannon was exclusivity, Edwyn likely knew that. But I didn't want to be unfair... and I didn't want to get hurt. After a moment, I said under my breath, "I'll just ask you not to..." I paused, in my words, but not in my steps. I wasn't sure what I wanted in that respect.

I heard the words as well as the tone and I stopped and let my arm tighten about her. And waited till she looked at me before offering a reassuring smile and asking "Ask me to what Dine?" My tone was soft and with her House I could guess a bit of what she was about to say.

"I'll just ask you not to hurt me," I said in a careful whisper. "I don't want to act proprietary - it's unfair to you, and unworthy of me. Just... don't make me feel cheap, please."
I wasn't even sure what I was asking him to do or not do - it was very confusing. The only thing I could keep thinking to keep a cold head, was that I had only known him a day - and that patience was a great virtue.

I smiled and leaned in softly kissing her lips with my eyes on hers "I shall not make you feel cheap and I will treat you like the fine and gentle lady you are." I meant it also. We had not known one another long, but I could tell when her marque was made the service was probably not for either of us any longer.

I kissed him back, attempting a smile, and succeeding for it. "I will trust you," I said against his lips, before I kissed him again. My gaze didn't leave his, a token of my earnest. We were getting to the end of the alley, and I sighed, though I kept a happy face. "We're almost there," I said gently.

"Yes we are" I began our journey once more and soon stepped back out onto the street. From there it was a short block and we were at White Hart. I paused and held the door open with her and put on my best courtly tones "After you my Lady."
