Shadows and Dust

He watched her considering and thinking for a moment and he couldn't really decipher what it was she was considering. Was she not feeling the same way? Was she not interested in a deeper relationship? Or was it the opposite? Was he completely misreading everything and she only wanted the physical part of their time together? Was that why she had set all this up? It certainly wouldn't be the first time he had thought something was more than it was or misconstrued a situation. Finally her words broke his wine muddled thoughts, telling him that they could go as slow as he needed. He gave her an appreciative smile, though if he was being honest going slow wasn't necessarily something he wanted to do, but it was something that he felt like he needed. That was only emphasized when her paw rested on his cheek and told him that she'd be offended if he didn't kiss her - only to kiss her himself.

His eyes widened for a moment as her lips connected with his only to slide closed as he gratefully sank deeper into the affection, the taste of wine and berries on her tongue and the feeling of her lips working perfectly against his lips stoking the fire that he was desperately trying to keep at bay. The soft groan she gave into their connected mouths sent a shiver through him, testing his resolve and restraint. As soon as she pulled away he wanted more and a husky chuckle left him as he blinked open his silver gaze. Gods, she was certainly making it difficult on him, wasn't she? Especially with the wine that they had nearly finished at this point messing with his inhibitions. She made disregarding his previous intentions very appealing.

He glanced to the berry she offered as she suggested how he should eat it with the wine and he smirked as he dipped his head to take it, his tongue lightly swiping across her paw as he pulled it into his mouth. He gave it a few chews before he lifted the bottle to his lips, taking a drink of the sweet wine and letting the favors meld together on his tongue. His brows lifted with surprise at the pleasant combination they made and he grinned giving her a nod. "You're right, that is lovely. Very delicious." He picked up another berry, one of the last few left in the bowl, and held it up to her, a smirk pulling at his lips. Desire pulled at his silver gaze despite all his efforts to keep it in check. "Not as delicious as you, I'm sure."
