Sitting up, Emelaide's hand clutched his shirt while the other slid into his hair as she deepened the kiss. "Mmm, it may be letting me off easy, but definitely worth it," she murmured softly against his lips before kissing him once more.
|
Marreck pulled Emelaide against him by the small of her back. He moved one of his hands up her spine, wrapping around the back of his neck as he deepened the kiss. Pulling away softly, Marreck moved his lips to her jaw, leaving a trail of kisses to her ear. "Very worth it." He murmured, nibbling gently on her earlobe.
|
Emelaide blushed at his kisses, which unfortunately made her magic begin to fluctuate the temperature of her body. Removing her sweatshirt, Emelaide tried to keep her magic in check, not noticing that one of the thin straps from her gown and slightly slipped off her shoulder.
Unfortunately, all it did was keep her skin cool to the touch. Blushing, Emelaide whispered as she tried to pull out of his grasp, fearing that she would repulse him by her coldness, "Sorry.. I can't control it.. I thought maybe if I took my sweatshirt off, my magic would stop decreasing my body temperature, but if anything it simply stabilized it at this temperature.. I'd better not get too close.. surely it's too cold for you.." Emelaide added in a saddened tone as she bit her lower lip in frustration. Every time Emelaide kissed Marreck, tingling sensations would rush through her and cause her magic to run hay-wire as it was doing at the moment. It frustrate her to no end, for surely it creeped Marreck out caused him to think her strange. |
"Of course not." Marreck said, taking one finger to pull the strap of her gown back onto Emelaide's shoulder. "I don't mind in the least." He said, pulling her close for a small kiss. Her tempature was a lot less comfortable for him but kissing her was completely worth it in his Marreck's hand pulled her closer to him so that his forehead could rest on her's.
|
Emelaide blushed at his movements and asked softly, a hint of shock within the tone of her voice, "Are you sure, Marreck?"
As her cool fingertips gently caressed his cheek, Emelaide couldn't help but grin in happiness as her fears were washed away simply by the look on his face. As her arms slid around Marreck's neck, Emelaide pulled herself as close as she could to him and kissed him tenderly, passionately, showing just how much she loved and adored him with every move she made. |
Marreck wrapped his arms tightly around Emelaide, pulling her closer as they kissed. He moved his lips to kiss her forehead, her nose then back to her lips. "I love you." Marreck whispered into Emelaide's lips before kissing her once again.
|
"I love you too," she murmured between kisses, "so very much.."
As they kissed, Emelaide moved so that she was sitting upon his lap facing him, her lips tenderly kissing his cheek, his jaw, his neck. Her hands slipped from around his neck, one hand moving to his chest to softly trace his sculpted chest after unbuttoning his jacket while the other slid around his waist, her nails digging into his back as she kissed him. |
"Em..." Marreck whispered against her neck, where his lips had traveled to. "We should stop now." He said. Though his body betrayed his words as his hands moving up her spine, seperated from her skin by the thin fabric of her nightgown. He moaned softly as her lips caressed his neck. He brought his lips to meet her own, giving her a deep kiss as his tongue explored her mouth.
|
As he kissed her, the hand that was on his chest slid into his hair as she pulled her self against him, her chest pressed against his as she returned his kisses.
Breaking away gently, her lips softly caressed his jaw, his cheek, the corner of his mouth, as she murmured softly between each kiss before returning to his lips and placing a tender kiss upon them, "If you think such thoughts, then why are you still tempting me so much?" |
"You're not exactly one to talk about tempting." Marreck said coyly. "I wasn't the one to take off your shirt." He teased, placing a light kiss on her nose before resting his forehead on her's. "You know I don't want to stop. But we need to before things go to far." He said.
|
"I told you, I was trying to stabilize my magic. If I hadn't done that, my magic would either be making my skin ice or causing it to burn to the touch. So which would you rather have, those extremes alternating, or my temperature simply cool like this?" she retorted with a smile, which soon turned into a frown as she spoke next, "And who says we need to stop? If I don't want to, and you just said you don't wish to, then why must we? Because you fear what others will think of you if you bed with a Winter Elf?" Emelaide inquired as an after-thought as she slipped off of him.
"That's it, isn't it.." she accused before turning away from him and started walking back to her room, "Fine, have it your way. I'm going to bed. Goodnight," she added as she slammed her door shut. Slipping out of the gown and undergarments she was in, leaving her body completely unclothed, she walked over to her dresser and began taking out undergarments and a gown to change into. |
"Emelaide..." Marreck called after her, leaning against her door. "I'm not ashamed in the least." He said, his forehead on the door. "I just don't want you to do something you'll regret." He said, his voice fading though he knew she could still hear him. "I don't want you to feel like I'm taking advantage of you. Please understand." He said, slightly begging for her to understand.
|
As she finished dressing in a cotton gown the shade of bubblegum pink that reached to mid-thigh in length and had thicker straps than her previous gown, as well as a semi-higher neckline, Emelaide stalked over to the door and threw it open as she spoke through gritted teeth, her voice rising with each word she spoke, "And just what the hell would I be regretting Marreck? And how the hell do you think you're taking advantage of me if I'm kissing you and returning your affections like I just was? So no, I don't bloody understand!" she screeched before slamming the door in his face once more.
|
Marreck sighed, though there was a large smile on his face. He knew he should feel angry but instead he felt almost giddy as Emelaide happened to very adorable when she was angry. "You know, Em. You're alot more attractive when you're angry. Please let me in." He said, an idiotic smile still on his face.
|
"Well with you around I'll be angry more and more often it seems!" she screeched through the door. Stalking over to her bed she added, "And forget it! I refuse to open that door!"
Climbing into bed, her mood still furious, she grasped the blankets and drew them close around her as her head hit the pillow. |
"Emelaide." Marreck sighed. "Please open the door. I don't enjoy talking to inanimate objects." He said. "Why are you so angry?" He asked. "I'm trying to not be a jerk and protect your virtue and I'm havig doors slammed in my face. Let me in, love." He said softly.
|
"Get use to it! I refuse to get out of this bed just to open that door. And why the hell do you think I'm angry? If you can't tell than figure it out and don't speak to me until you have!" added Emelaide, her temper getting the best of her as her magic caused the fireplace to spark back to life in full-force due to the temperatures going haywire throughout the room.
|
"That's it." Marreck said, barging into the room. "Emelaide. You're going to talk to me. Face to face." He said, walking over to the bed. "What if we were to concieve a child? What would you tell people? I want to be with you but I want to wait until the timing is right." He said, kneeling beside her. "I'm just trying to protect you." Marreck said, shaking his head.
|
"If I did conceive, I'd be more happy than I could describe in words! I'd love nothing more than to be able to have a part of you for the rest of my life. As for what I would tell people, I would tell them the truth - that I'm having the child of a man I love with or without marriage and I don't give a damn what they think about it because I'll be so happy that nothing they can do or say will change that," Emelaide said through gritted teeth before she turned over so that she wasn't facing him and pulled the blankets tighter around her.
|
"And how would we raise this child? Where would we live? Who's powers will the child possess? We're still young. There's centuried for us to make love and have a family. If not tonight there will be plenty of nights. Why should we rush? Are you unhappy just being with me now?" Marreck asked.
|
"With my magic, we could live anywhere and be perfectly alright. As for the child, what does it matter what magic the child possesses? If it possesses both Elimlee and Winterglade magic, then it will simply train with both Kingdoms and work with both Masters; there is always a compromise to every situation," Emelaide replied softly as she turned over to gently caress his cheek with her fingertips, "And how could you even ask such a thing? How can you even suggest that all I want from you is to make love? Is that really what you think of me?" she inquired as her voice grew thick and her eyes glistened with tears.
|
"Not at all." Marreck said, resting his face in her hand. "But I don't want to rush things with you, Emelaide. I want to treasure every moment with you. And when the timing is right I'll make love to you. But the timing isn't right." Marreck said. "I love you. That's why I don't wish to move things to fast. I wish you could see that."
|
"Of course the timing isn't right, you ruined that about ten minutes ago," Emelaide said softly with a sigh, "And I do see that, I just.. I love you, Marreck, more than words can describe. I've never fallen this much for anyone in my entire life. You.. you just.. you make me feel things I've never felt before, and wish for things I've never wished for.. I just.. I... Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you? I know I'm not the most articulate person in Antronesia, but I'm trying my best to tell you how I'm feeling and what my thoughts are.. but words just don't seem to do them justice nor express them fully.. I.. I don't know how to express them except to show you.. but.. you don't wish for that, so I'm trying my best.. And now I'm just rambling and causing you to think me an idiot, so I'm just going to shut up and turn over now," Emelaide finished with a blush as she turned over and wrapped the blankets around her, burying her face into the blankets.
|
"I understand pefectly." Marreck said, laying on the bed next to her and wrapping is arms around her. "And I love you to. More then you know." He said, kissing the back of her neck. "So let's just be happy by being together. Just not that together." He said into her hair, taking in her sweet scent.
|
Emelaide nodded as she turned towards him, slipping her arms around his waist and burying her face into his chest, "I'll be perfectly happy with just that, dearest, I promise you, as long as you promise me you'll stay right here with me. I won't be able to do anything tomorrow, and I don't know how much longer I can hold out before I go back into the state I was in yesterday, but for now I just want you to lay beneath the covers with me and hold me, please?"
