"That would be wonderful, I haven't been to a fete in a long time, let alone at the palace. And it would be wonderful to dress up and have fun together. Let us make the most of the night then we can do as we wish afterwards." I grined wildly, the idea of spending The Longest Night with someone I loved, body and mind, without reservations was a thrilling thought - and as I thought about it I was awed to realize that I hadn't truly loved anyone this much in a very, very long time.

"Good," I said. "Very good." I leaned in and kissed her again, her love washing over me like a wave. I was getting the hang of this mind-reading thing, so I posed a question without saying it. Your place or mine?

I giggled as she kissed me again, it was wonderful to feel so free with her. Then her mind touched mine with a question. My eyes got wide for a moment, surprized at her quick grasp of the mind link and an instinctive knowledge of how to use it. She probably didn't even know what she was doing it, untrained as she was, but I smiled and replied sweetly, accepting her mind into mine; 'I think you will like it if we visit my place for the Longest Night, but until then we can visit yours and spend some time together planning our costume gowns for the fete.'

I laughed against her mouth, taking delight in our secret communication. Then let's go. Heliotrope is not far, and I want to get started on planning with you. Something deeper, more primal, was stirring within me, a fierce, wordless desire to be with her. Pulling out of the kiss, I took her hand and tugged it gently. "This way," I whispered, my breath caught in my throat.

Being wrapped fully in her was so very intoxicating and I wanted nothing but for it to never end. However I let her kiss me until she pulled away, knowing what was on her mind... and laughed with her. "This will be a night to remember don't you think?" I said breathlessly, as she pulled me away through the town square.
Feeling her emotions race to the surface of her thoughts I followed her and we began running, hand in hand through the streets like children, laughing and bespeaking eachother with the same goal in mind. And since speaking to her like that didn't take any breath I spoke to her along the way...
'I haven't planned for a ball in Years! Though it must still be everything I remember.' I thought to her, our laughter rinning in my ears and joy enveloping my every thought. 'My father left me his estate when he died and I have barely even touched my inheritance. So who shall we hire to make our gowns?? I don't care what the cost I want this to be a memorable occaision.' Heliotrope was not far really and we were almost there before I realized it.
'Wait!' I said to her as we slowed at the end of a streed, stopping in my tracks as we rounded the corner, knowing Heliotrope House was just around the next bend, and pulled her to me. Wrapping her in my arms I tilted her mouth up to mine to kiss her again, to taste her sweetness in a stolen moment; savoring each breath we shared as one.
'I plan to spend more than just Longest Night with you, sweet Maeve. Let us enjoy this gift Elua has granted us to the fullest.' I thought, drininking her in, pressing her body ever close to mine, our hearts racing...

I ran with her, laughing like a little girl. Having been raisen the Night Court, I had never known true freedom, and this was a taste of it. She had given it to me and I loved her all the more for it. I am not marqued, and I have no estate, I do not think I can afford a new gown, I thought. But I will come with you when you have yours made.
When we slowed and she kissed me, I drank deep of her, tasting her honey-vanilla lips with eagerness. Yes my sweet, my love, thought, kissing her back with all the passion in me. Someday, when I am free, I will make my life with you. I will find us a home, and we will be a family, with a child or two. Let us begin to make our life together. Taking her hand, I led her around the corner up the stairs to Heliotrope House.
