The long road

Deathbelle had long felt the shift in their meeting and she realized she was thankful for her foresight to sit with him in the common room instead of inviting him into her bedchamber. Though she wouldn’t deny how much she wished she could lead him inside and forget the world with him. The knowledge that were she only to suggest, to press him very lightly, they would both give in to primal desire. The temptation was severe, but she felt just as terrible for entertaining the idea as she did for not acting upon it. The passionate fire she held for him burned brightly as he stood there with their gazes entwined like their bodies could never be.

The moment broke as the decision was made yet again to abstain, though she felt disappointment there was also relief as his haunches hit the ground. She knew it would have been a great betrayal of Zee, however much she wanted him. Deathbelle wanted badly to throw caution to the wind and finally listen to her heart and body. She could never be with Sirius though, that fact had long been branded in her brain. It wasn’t her brain that wanted to make the decisions though.

”We should get out of here.” She spoke softly, unable to send him away despite the tension inside. She wanted to be close to him, but she had to be in a situation where she wouldn’t be tempted so heavily. ”Patrol with me?” They could enjoy each other’s presence and ignore the heavy feelings between them.
