Her fingers gently dragging across his skin, this time, prompted a reaction from him. A subtle tremble. Goosebumps on his arms. Her touch was so tender against him, and he had no choice but to allow the quiet contentment to wash over him. It softened his eyes and warmed his spirit in a way he could not say he'd ever truly known, and for an absolute first since so long ago when he'd been taken from his kin, he felt the walls of stone and sand that he'd built begin to crumble into dust.
It was almost fearful for him as he realized how open he allowed himself to be. But it was as though he had no choice, like she'd cast some spell upon him which he knew could not be true - could it? Even if she had, now as she spoke so sweetly to him, teased with her touch, he didn't care in the least.
He almost ground his teeth as her hand came to grasp gently, and no doubt she could feel the tension.
Desire.
A restrained breath. His eyes turned to hers. And they smiled at her, the corner of his lips curling up. She was teasing him.
And, maybe to his own surprise, he rather liked it.
She queried him, but he thought it better if he played too, "you speak as though the choice is mine, but it would seem that I am at your mercy."
And truly, despite his mischievous tone, he was.
