It’s easy, almost dangerously so, to forget the world when he gets wrapped up in her. Maybe that’s something they can’t afford to do, can’t afford to get used to. But already, this place makes it easier, and he understands the look in her eyes.
That doesn’t mean he’ll be able to hold onto the understanding; it doesn’t mean he won’t question it all again. Not her love for him, but how far it can go, and where, and when.
Just now it seems like it’s about to go very far indeed. He always wants her, but this has crept over into wanting her now, and the way she’s trying to tug him away tells him he’s not alone in this. He’ll be cursing all his layers of leather in a few minutes, when they find a place, but for the moment, he’s grateful for them.
“Where?” he murmurs, pulling away from her mouth just enough to ask.
