"Looky what I stole!"

"Come on, I can't drink the whole thing by myself." Her eyes flashed mischievously. "Well... I can, but..."

“You don’t…have to leave. Please.”

The Meme

     It seemed to always happened this way; Elijah would seem to be sleeping, but as soon as she moved out of his arms to disappear into the night he would stir. He didn’t always stop her, but he always knew.

     She didn’t want to leave, she just had learned from experience that waking up to a rushed morning and strolling back to her room in the same clothes would lead to more questions than she cared to answer. Now that she was supposed to be broken up over the courtship with Sam falling out, the other women were more annoyingly consoling than usual. She didn’t need the rumors of her and Elijah to start up again since they’d finally been squandered.

     Katerina sighed a little and sat up in bed, no longer trying to be sly. “You know I must.” It sucked, especially when he pleaded like that, but it was the reality. “I will see you soon.” Soon, but possibly not the following day, or the next. She gave him a light kiss goodbye before continuing to head out, all her clothes already on because of his ‘rule’. The snuggling was warm and nice, but she still couldn’t stay all night because of it.

10. A hug

   This gesture was kind of strange to Stefan, mainly because he wasn’t used to anything this intimate. He had become accustomed to quick touches and kisses that didn’t have any meaning to it. But when Elena wrapped her arms around him, there was something warm and pleasant that buzzed between them and he couldn’t help the smile that formed on his face, as he buried his face in her hair. This was something he could grow to like.

Send ღ for a first kiss between our muses.

    Katerina could scarcely believe even her good fortune. She’d only just arrived at the bottom steps by the grand hall when no less than the King himself emerged from it, looking worn from whatever miserable event it contained. He seemed to be taking a moment to himself to breathe.

     She observed for a few seconds, then turned off the first step and went towards him. “Your Grace..” She broke the silence to make him aware of her presence. “Are you well?” The threat of poison was still among many potential treacherous plots against him. When he nodded, she offered him a little smile. “Wonderful. I thought for a minute there the Prince made a sudden move.” By that reference alone, she could be sure he knew which triplet she was.

     Still, he didn’t look exactly content, and Katerina glanced to the large doors. “If you so desire, I could pass along that you were not feeling well and decided to retire for the evening?” She suggested playfully, trying to ease whatever tension there was out of his shoulders. She thought she saw his lips tug at her mischievous proposal, but she never imagined he’d take the bait.

     It wasn’t until they were walking together did she realize what a perfectly presented opportunity it was for her to alter their relationship. She had flirted with him since their very first meeting, and it certainly boosted her ego when he complimented her and flirted back. She brought the subject around to games, revealing how she loved to play chase and learning he loved chess.

     ”Typical.” She teased, coming to a stop at his door and eyeing it for a beat before turning to him with the odd feeling that they’d just returned from the world’s shortest date. At least he didn’t look so wretched as he had before. At least he had smiled a few times, maybe even genuinely. A moment of silence overcame them, but Elijah didn’t go inside nor did he say goodnight, and her chocolate eyes slid to his lips for half a second before going back to his face.

     Katerina felt as though Fate was backing her at every turn, and with that hike in confidence she rose up on her heels to steal a shallow kiss off his lips. It lasted the length of a good breath, just long enough for him to feel it and throw her off if he wanted. Her feet fell flat on the ground, and Katerina looked at him on the off chance he became offended. What she saw instead was a new set of eyes meeting hers… slightly darker, a suppressed sort of longing breaking through the fractures in his impressive self-control. She loved to elicit that kind of reaction from men, tempt the wild side out of an otherwise polished gentleman, but even so… seeing it in Elijah made her inner beast stir too.

     It took less than two heartbeats for her hands to find a home on his jaw and his neck to bring him down for a significantly fiercer kiss, feeling him kiss her back with equal vigor and his hands snaking around her waist. Katerina broke it suddenly, but only to open the door to his chambers, tug him inside, then quickly shut it behind them.

Katerina stopped the cart and knocked briskly on the servant's door to the Princess's bedchambers. "Your Highness? Are you decent? I've brought your morning meal."
