[@Ace of flames] As she embraced him and cries into his chest a sudden wave of gratifying relief washed away all the hidden stirring worries and doubt, the sudden explosion of emotion caught in his chest and caused a tear to swell in his eye. Such a simple gesture had hit him so deep and on so many levels. He struggled to contain himself as he clasped his entire body around her holding her tight as though he feared she may slip away. Holding her in his arms he breathed her in like a lost drug. His warm breath ran shivers down her spine, which his strong hands quickly chased away. He slid them slowly down her back, dragging his fingers firmly across the fabric on her skin, as if trying to claw his way into it while pulling her in as close to himself as possible. His touch was both firm and gentle with a hint of ravenous desperation and desire. His chin rested on the top of her head, he sought comforting words but his mind traced the details of her form pressed against him. Instead all he could offer was the solace of his silence and presence. His mind divided took control of a hand each, his right slowly eased up her back massaging the tension along the way only to entwine itself amongst her hair and comfort her head while the other crawls down to embrace her upper thigh. Both hold her tight. He can feel the beating of her heart, it resonates like a drum against him, her breath almost burning against his skin. Dorian fights every cell in his body, every shadow, every thought, every demon and maintains his composure until he can hold it no more, his heart still swathed in darkness cried out with desire and his blood still burning with the acid of his previous form flooded him with lust. In a sudden motion the hand around her thigh scoops her up off the ground, wrapping that leg around himself. With one hand beneath her butt he holds her there as the other takes to hair and turns her head to face his. Forehead to forehead they share the space between themselves as the rest of the world fades away. Eyes lost in eyes their heavy breaths shared entwine and become one. [b]"Me too."[/b] Dorian opened himself to a venerability he had never before accepted and then he kissed her. He moved in slowly closing his eyes and let his lips part hers as their mouths pressed together. This was not like the kiss before. It quickly grew to match his yearning for her. All that tension and suspense built since the ball washed away as he kissed her with a fiery passion so deep that their souls would meet and entwine. He embraced her so tight, hands exploring her body, that the two threatened to become one. He let go of all inhibitions as he surrendered himself totally to her. Void of all focus and thought he gave way to carnal nature but the only thing that was wild was the enthusiasm in which he embraced her. Her taste, smell, feel, movements were all in perfect harmony and he needn't a thought towards how to act or what to do. It all came natural, guided by pure instinct, somewhere a part of him replaying an old game as if they had played it a million times before. It was meant to be. His lips trace her neck in soft kisses and bites as he suckles on her skin then contained himself long enough to look her in the eyes and run a hand through her hair in attempts to undo the mess he caused to it. [b]"please come with me. To New York."[/b]
