Red Wine and Moonlight

Romulus was overly dramatic at the best of times and even more so as the subtle build of tension rose between them. It wasn’t a feeling she was used to, though she’d felt in numerous times between herself and her boy. Her own body did not allow the exploration of it, but now here in the moonlight, relaxing against Roman’s chest, she wanted to. There wouldn’t be any forcing, she knew she could trust Roman, he was slow and patient with her, especially now as they teased each other in the darkness. "Off with his head!” She teased him back as the both of them grew more comfortable there on the grass.

Lilith wore a soft grin, her skin rosey beneath her pale fur. It felt like she was permanently flushed tonight. Especially as Romulus offered up the cool bottle of wine. He assured her with a grin that she would enjoy it. She took the bottle from him as he mentioned mead, "Are you trying to get me drunk, mr. Armada?” Lil asked with a playful smile and wink as she tipped back the bottle and allowed the sweet and warm liquid to rush down her throat. It was flavorful and robust, almost too much so, but it had a pleasant after taste and helped to rid her of the last of the nights chill.

The warmth in her belly was quick to subdue her nerves she was feeling, and soon it would whisk away her inhibitions. Maybe for just a single night she could control her illness instead of letting it control her. Lil tried not to think about the night the two of them first kissed, and how close she had been to ruining everything… Garnet gaze drifted from the sky back to Roman’s features as he exclaimed lightly about the beauty of the sky above them. Her cheeks only growing more red as his silvery eyes turned to her, and he took back his statement. Obviously speaking to her own beauty.

She was far too humble for his compliments and he knew it, Lil wouldn’t say it but she loved his teasing. She loved that he thought she was so beautiful, she loved his attention and devotion. Lilith loved Romulus and found herself overwhelmed with gratitude that he was beside her again. The heat of her blush was intensified as Roman’s nose pressed into the soft fur behind her ears and she shivered lightly as his teeth brushed over delicate skin. He sent a tingle down her spine and all through her body as the wine loosened her mind and the stiff feeling in her muscles.

Lilith relaxed against him, embracing the intense feelings he caused with such simple affections. He made her heart nearly race from her chest, certainly he could hear it or feel it? "You aren’t just a dream, right?” She asked him quietly, leaning into his affections, closing her eyes blissfully as she basked in his attention that she had craved for so long. She thought she would lose him and now she never wanted him to let her go again.
