Leave it to SYLVIA, of all deities, to tempt fate with such a brazen game of chance... but he had been no less of a fool to let his brother goad him into trying his luck with the goddess of life.
When the dice rolls into a 1, he's too busy mentally sputtering at the odds of it all to notice her making her move. The strangled cry of surprise that escapes him when Sylvia grabs him by the shoulders is promptly silenced by her mouth, her lips pressed against his.
Soft. Warm. Intoxicating. It's like the world suddenly stops on its axis. Everything else ceases to exist, blurred and indistinct as he focuses on only her and the sweetness of her lips. His hands twitch and flex, eager to take hold of her, but they never get a chance to.
Before he can muster another coherent thought, she's gone, leaving him feeling cold and just a little bit helpless. Damn it.
Guess she already regrets it...
