.R.a.i.n.

Ritsuka was no casanova, no man who knew it all about love, but the man knew that he cared for Elli, and he saw her for more than just some pretty face and body. The young man had no previous experiences with such things, but he followed his gut in these instances, or his heart. His head was left out of the equation. He was moving now on instinct, his heart beating fast, though a bit of excitement filled him. Alone with a pretty girl, and one who didn't mind his presence. Wasn't that, generally, a guy's dream?

The male would meet her eyes, amber orbs looking into his forest-y own. Desire welled within, coaxing him to press on, to take this situation into his paws. Elli spoke a single word, as if vanishing her 'spell' away completely. Ritsuka would circle around her, teasingly brushing her body with his own. He felt yearning so strong, yet the male held a moment of restraint. He wanted to be sure, absolutely sure that he did not do anything the other did not desire. 

"Elli... I... " His breath caught in his throat for a moment. "I want to show you my feelings... to be close to you and no other. But... I want to make sure that it is what you want as well. I don't want to hurt you." Ritsuka had paused, looking back over his shoulder at the female. Gods damn him and strike him down if he ever did something rotten to this woman.
