Amelia in turn would be rewarded with another soft and pleased sound when her fingers tightened in his mass of blue hair. Zelgadis’ kisses moved to the level of her jaw, rising a bit to tease the tip of her earlobe with one soft kiss and flick of his tongue. “I live to please, Amelia,” he breathed softly before moving his cheek to the other side of her face and gently nuzzling his cheek to hers.
His hands slid over her gown again, moving now to gently rub along her sides. It took more discipline than he thought himself capable of to not slide them up under her bosom, but they had time. His mouth dipped to press kisses at the base of her throat, giving this other side attention now.
Her skin was warm and intoxicating under his lips, and his head was beginning to spin. Still, he focused on making her feel relaxed and attended his duty of plying the kisses he had promised slowly along her warm and delicate skin. He wanted to draw out this moment, make it last and savor the reality of holding her in his arms instead of in secret dreams.
The hesitation when he stroked her sides was obvious. Amelia knew what he wanted, but he was holding himself back. Pacing himself, for her. It was sweet. It was... Very Zelgadis. Honestly, doing as much as he had was forward coming from him, and she thought perhaps it was time she rewarded him with more than just sounds for his bravery. Her heart raced even faster, because she knew that as soon as she did this, neither of them was likely to stop. But she didn’t even need to ask herself if she was sure, if she was ready, all of the usual things. She had imagined it, night after night, fantasized and wondered what she would do, how far she would go, if given the chance. She had already answered these questions for herself, at least where it concerned Zelgadis. He was her knight, her friend, her first and dearest love. There were few things she was so sure about in the world as this. That she wanted this. And so she turned on her chair, slowly at first as she played with his hair more for him and turned her head to kiss one of his hands, and then his arm, exposed for once. And then she stood. She turned to face him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. She brought a hand to his cheek and brushed her thumb over his soft skin, and after a moment, when his surprise had dwindled and turned into reciprocation, she took her other hand from his hair to take his own hand and lead it up her side and over her chest, purposefully. He could go ahead, she wanted to tell him. She wasn’t about to jump out of her skin at being touched by him... She wanted to be touched by him. She had waited so long to be.
