Her fingers skimmed along her skin, and it sent my whole arm tingling. She apologized almost immediately, pulling away and blushing. My other hand caught her now free on, and squeezed it lightly. "It's alright, it felt... it felt very nice," I whispered.

“It’s just so hard not to touch you like I want to,” I confessed softly. I glanced at him and then back down to our tangled hands. “For the first time in my entire life, I wish I wasn’t an adept. Then I could do what I wanted.”

"But if you weren't an adept, I wouldn't have met you. And I certainly wouldn't have a sun prince outfit to impress you with," I jested with a soft smile, trying not to think too hard on her words for I wished for a scenario with the same results.

His words made me smile softly and I looked at him again. “I’ll agree on that we might not have met otherwise, but you certainly don’t need the outfit to impress me,” I said. I squeezed his hands softly.
A pair of younger adepts went by the open door, chattering noisily to each other. I glanced their way and then back. “Have you ever been here to Valerian?” I asked him.

She smiled at me, and it made me smile in return. "Just Midwinter. Otherwise, I've never gotten any further than this room," I replied.

In an effort to try and be good, I had been trying not to think of Midwinter and him in my bed, but then again that was like someone telling you not to think about elephants; all you can think about then is elephants.
“If it wasn’t so cold I could show you around the gardens. I think they are lovely even in the winter,” I said. Think of innocent things…think of innocent things… “The library is very nice as well; I spend a lot of time in there. Would you like to see it?”

"I would love to," I replied with a soft smile. Really, I just wanted to spend a few more minutes with her, and a quiet library sounded perfect.

“Wonderful,” I said, smiling wide with happiness. Keeping hold of his hand, I stood. “Shall we?”

I stood as well, smiling to see her happy. "Of course, lead on."

Walking as close to him as I could without drawing too much attention, I led him out of the room and down the hall to the library.
“What’s the library at Alyssum like?” I asked him.

"Very quiet. The shelves are all dark wood, and there's a reading area at one end with plush chairs. But I think my favourite part of it are the windows. They're half grown-over by ivy, so the light comes in almost green at times," I told her as we made our way through the halls. Occasionally we would pass one of her Housemates, and I would blush when their eyes would dart to our laced fingers.

“Oh, that sounds so lovely,” I said, looking up at him with a smile. The smile faded some when I saw him blushing and noticed Darine and Joshua whispering and sneaking glances back at us as they passed.
“I’m sorry,” I said softly, taking my hand back and lacing it with the other in front of me. “I wasn’t thinking. I don’t want to get you in trouble.”

She pulled away and while it made me more comfortable on one level, I also didn't want to let her go. My now free hand came up and brushed lightly against her back before dropping again. "It's alright, really," I murmured.

The brush of his hand on my back nearly made me moan as it sent desire crashing through me again. Merciful Kushiel, I wanted him. This was a new kind of torment I had no training in. Desire and need were like living things inside me, scratching and clawing hotly with their insistence on being satisfied, making even my skin feel as if it was burning.
Fortunately we reached the library, it was deserted at the moment with adepts taking their freedom from classes, and I could try and focus on anything that would distract me. “Here we are,” I said with a smile, a little shaky but a real smile, looking at him again as we entered.
The room was large and as one would expect, dominated by books. The shelves went from floor to ceiling and covered almost every bit of the walls. There were chairs, a couple couches, and some floor pillows. I glanced at the windows, wondering if any vegetation had begun to encroach on ours, but they were leaf free.

I closed the door behind us before looking around, immediately noticing that we were alone. Perfect. "It's lovely," I said before looking back at her. I wished that there was a lock on the door, then immediately berated myself for such a thought. Though the idea was very appealing... "Do you spend much time here?"

"I do," I answered, smiling a little more calmly this time. This room was a familiar sanctuary for me. "As I was growing up here, this was one of the few places my mother could get me to be calm and settled. She would bring me here and read to me." I moved over to a chair by the fireplace. "This was her favorite place to sit."

"That's a beautiful picture," I said with a soft smile. How I wanted to go behind her and pin her lightly against the back of the chair to kiss her neck... "Did you have a favourite story?"

'I did," I answered, my smile softening with memories and turning tender. "The one about the princess who pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and falls asleep for years and years until her true love the prince gives her a kiss and wakes her.'

"If I had known I would have kissed you awake," I replied without thinking, then went bright red. "I'm sorry."

My smile brightened and I crossed to where he was. Lifting my hand, I gently stroked his reddened cheek. “Don’t apologize, that is very sweet to say and a lovely image,” I said softly.
Ah gods, I wanted to draw his lips down to mine. Instead, I let my hand fall to my side and stepped back. “Do you have a favorite story?” I asked, still smiling.

The touch of her fingers to my cheeks sent lower parts of my body into overdrive, and I had to take a moment to get myself fully under control again. Thankfully I could appear like I was thinking. "I always loved Jacques and the Magic Bean," I told her.

"Fe fi fo fum!" I said, imitating the deep voice of a giant and then breaking into laughter. "Mother only read that one to me twice, she ws afraid of giving me ideas."

Her attempt at sounding like the character made me chuckle, and the joy in her eyes made me smile. "I have the feeling that you didn't need a children's story to give you ideas," I told her teasingly.

“I have no idea what you mean by thank,” I replied with a grin.
I moved to the section of the shelves that held all the fairy tales and after half a moment of looking, found the one I wanted and took it down. “This one had lovely engravings to go along with the tale of Jacques,” I said, carrying it to the couch and sitting. I motioned for him to sit next to me and then opened the book on my lap so that he could see.

I sat down beside her, far closer than I really should have, and my arm went up to rest along the top of the couch. "You remember that from all those years ago?" I wondered aloud.

“It wasn’t all that long ago,” I said, laughing and smiling up at him. “You make me sound ancient.”
I turned to the page with the engraving of Jacque climbing the beanstalk. “Isn’t it lovely?”

Her words suddenly reminded me that she was a young adept with a bright future, and that I was being selfish by taking up her time. "Very lovely," I agreed quietly. My conscience might be twinging, but still I didn't move away from her. If anything I wanted to press my lips against her neck. "No wonder you remember it."

The side of my body that was next to him was a great deal warmer than the other side. It was all I could do to keep myself from drawing his head down to mine and kissing him deeply.
Instead, I turned to another page, this one with an engraving of the golden egg laying goose. “This is my favorite of them,” I told him. My finger lightly touched over the detailed work that showed the layers of feathers on the goose’s body. “I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to get this right.”

Almost as long as I want to lock the door for, I thought to myself. Unable to help myself any longer, I brushed my lips against her ear. "Will you read me a story?" I whispered, my body taut with desire.

“Yes,” I moaned breathily, knowing that at that moment I would have agreed to anything he asked me. My heart was hammering inside my chest and a rush of heat moved through my nether region.
“Wh..which one?”
