Frustration and confusion had an icy grip on him, one urging him on and the other holding him back. He wanted to lose himself in her scent and her touch and her warmth, but the fear of what might happen kept him from letting it go on. She moved away the very moment that he paused, split seconds before he would have returned to that small spot beneath her ear, and hazy eyes sought out her face, scolding himself in silence. "If..you want.." There was a faint reluctance in his voice, the quiet sound of disappointment, though the only one he was disappointed in was himself. "Just for tonight." He agreed then, nodding faintly. If anything at all, he could wait until she was asleep and sneak out, just to make sure that she was safe. It was the very least that he could do for her after he being so kind to him. |
