It was nearly palpable, the way her desire unfurled to fill the air around her. Naamah but I wanted her... "Why not your favourite?" I whispered before kissing the skin just beneath her ear. I was coming so close to breaking all the rules. "The Sleeping Beauty."

His lips on my skin brought forth from me a small sound of the most pure desire I had ever felt. My need was a burning, shining thing inside my chest and it made me gasp.
“Adin,” I breathed like a prayer.

"I shouldn't have come," I whispered before kissing her neck again, my lips running along her silky smooth skin. "It was selfish of me, but I wanted to see you again."

“Don’t say that,” I murmured, trying to keep myself from ripping his shirt off even as his lips caused a rush of wetness between my thighs. “I wanted to see you too, so very much.”
I turned my head so that my lips brushed his like a whisper. “Adin,” I breathed again.

The feel of her lips against mine caused my control to crack, and before I knew it, I was kissing her passionately, one hand buried in her hair and the other around her waist and pulling her to me.

I returned his kiss with equal passion, moaning deeply as the taste of him caused everything but desire to vanish from my mind. Distantly I heard the soft thud as the book slipped from my lap and slid down my skirt to come to a rest on the plush rug. As eagerly as waves to the shore, I went to him, molding my body to his even as I caressed my hands along his sides.

I could feel every line of her body, memory filling in what our clothing obscured. By the gods she tasted sweet, the passion between us like a roaring fire. It wasn't until I realized that she must be able to feel me straining against my breeches that I came back to myself enough to break the kiss with a gasp. "I'm sorry," I managed, making myself release her as my breathing came laboured. "I just..."

Just as the moment came where I was certain the next thing I felt would be him pushing my skirts up, he pulled away. There was no thought, just instinct, as my body followed his, pressing to him again.
"Adin," I moaned, my hands cupping his cheeks and drawing his lips to mine again. He wanted me too, I could feel it in every inch of, above and beyond the obvious swelling that told of his desire. "Please.. don't stop," I whispered before kissing him deeply.

She returned to me, and the feel of her body against mine sent a shot of heat through me. I groaned against her lips, every urge telling me to ignore my mind and to make love to her like we both wanted.
But I couldn't.
"Olivia," I whispered, my words punctuated with kisses. I couldn't stop touching those perfect lips. "I can't... I have to be... responsible."

I have to be responsible
His words cut through my desire like a knife. It was one thing to take a risk for myself, quite another to involve him.
With a gasp that was almost a sob, I pushed myself off him, getting up from the couch completely and moving to stand beside one of the chairs. I was weak with need and had to grip the back of the chair for support.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered between ragged breaths. “I don’t care about risking myself. Being with you again would be worth any punishment I might receive, but I am not going to make you take the risk.” my eyes swept closed and I tried desperately to control myself.
Opening my eyes again, I looked at him. “I want you Adin, merciful Kushiel it hurts I want you so badly. But I know the rules, the risk, and I understand. Please, just promise me you won’t avoid me because of this. I will endure this pain gladly as long as I can still see you.”

I never would have guessed that my words would have sparked the reaction they did. In a shot she had retreated, leaving me completely. I sat up and put my hands on my knees, trying to breath deeply and control myself. Oh, and feeling like a complete cad.
"I hate the thought that I'm causing you pain," I whispered, nearly getting up and going to her but stopping myself. She had the right of it, by moving away. It felt that only physical distance would be enough to frustrate our desire. "I wish it were different. I'm sorry Olivia. I... I don't know how it will work, but I don't want to avoid you." It was all I could promise.

“Naamah’s tits,” I cursed, my head falling forward slightly.
The urge to cry washed through me and it was all I could do to keep from giving in. I took a shaky breath and looked up at him again. “I’ll be good, I promise,” I whispered. “I’ll do anything you ask that might make it easier.”

I went to get up again, and this time I followed through. I went to her and wrapped my arms around her, holding her against me tightly. "You might possibly be the greatest temptation I've ever faced," I whispered raggedly. "We'll both be good, and see each other. Alright?"

Pressing myself to him, I buried my face against his chest and held tight to him.
“Yes,” I whispered. Desire throbbed through me still, but I could ignore it for now. Now all that mattered was that I was going to see him again.

Damn it all, I wanted her so badly that my body was aching. I hadn't been drawn to someone physically with so much force in a long time, if ever. Now I had to draw on the discipline that I had learned as an unmarqued adept, before I was freed of many of those rules.

The longer he held me, the more difficult it became to ignore the throbbing desire within me. I took one last deep, deep breath – inhaling his scent s much as I could – and then slowly stepped back.
My smile was genuine if a little shaky as I looked up at him. “How about I put the book back and then we go somewhere with more people around?” I asked.

My arms fell to my sides and my body mourned her heat as she stepped away. "That's probably a good idea," I agreed, despite the fact that I wanted to curl up on the couch together and have her read to me. Her suggestion was much safer, so I straightened my shirt to make sure I was presentable.

Trying desperately not to think about how my body was tingling where it had been touching his, I picked up the book and replaced it. I knew my skin was still flushed with desire, but there was nothing to be done for it.
“Where shall we go?” I asked. My room… oh Naamah I want to take him to my room again. “Have you eaten? We could go to the dining hall and have something. Or the great room will have people, we could play a game.”

"Why don't we go play a game?" I suggested. I would control myself, for her. I would be good and remember all that discipline I knew I had in me. "Unless you're hungry."

Oh I was, but not for anything they were serving from the kitchens.
“A game sounds perfect,” I answered, my smile a little steadier. “We can always get something to snack on while we play.” I stopped myself just barely as I nearly reached for his hand; instead clasping my together in front of me. “The great room is back towards the front, shall we?”

I nodded and very nearly put my hand against the small of her back as we left the room, the motion unconscious until my hand had risen half way. I forced it to fall again and followed her back out into the hall. "What would you normally be doing now, if I hadn't stopped by?" I asked, wanting to know more about this woman that had nearly entranced me. No longer could I blame the magic of Longest Night.

I had to think for a moment about what it was I had been going to do before Adin showed up. I was having trouble thinking of anything beyond him.
“I…uh…,” I said, searching. “Oh, I was going to try and get Loren to give me some extra dance lessons.” I smiled up at him.

It was on the tip of my tongue to offer her some pointers, but I didn't think dancing with her in this state of mind was the best thing for us. "What dance?" I asked, my voice a little ragged.

There was an edge to his voice that caused my blood to rush.
"Some of the faster waltzs mostly," I answered, desperately trying to focus on safe subjects. "I haven't mastered them enough that I can dance and hold a conversation, I focus too much on my footwork."

I couldn't help but notice that her skin was flushed, though I made myself look away. Oh, this was going to be so tough. "Yes, they can be difficult," I said, forcing my mind back on the conversation. "I still have to practice them."

"Truly?" I asked, unable to keep the surprise from my voice. I remembered how skilled he was when we had danced. "I would never have guessed." I smiled at him as we turned the last corner before our destination.

"Thank you, that's quite the compliment," I said, returning her smile. I looked up to find ourselves in the great room, and immediately felt out of place. I swallowed down my nervousness though, knowing that we had to be in a public area to keep us out of trouble. "Where's a good place to sit?"

I glanced around, checking each of my favorite spots, then a thought hit me and I looked towards the nearest corner.
“There,” I said, indicating a table with low chairs near the window. “We can see the gardens from there.”

"Oh good," I said, appreciating her choice immediately. I could hide in a corner and see greenery, two things that would help me from turning red. We went over to the spot she had suggested, and I glanced out at the gardens as we sat. Peace, even if it was a bare sort of beauty, the plants caught up by winter.

I felt a little rush of happiness when I saw how much he liked my choice; I was beginning to get to know what he would like.
“Once spring comes, I will take you on a tour of the gardens and show you my favorite things,” I said, keeping my voice low and private as I sat.
