Lucina felt her toes curl in excitement as she wrapped her arms around Adrian and gave him a long, passionate kiss. "Forever?" She asked with a sly smile as she wrapped her leg around both of Adrian's, pressing him closer against her small frame.

"For eternity," Adrian promised as a low moan escaped his lips between kisses. Pressing against her, Adrian's hand wandered to her hip and pulled gently, pulling her closer to him as he tenderly massaged her curves through the fabric of her gown.

"Adrian that's not fair." Lucina breathed though she didn't stop her hands from tugging at the hem of Adrian's shirt and slipping beneath to his warm skin. Digging her fingertips into Adrian's back, Lucina deepened their kisses as her tongue slipped between his lips.

"Wha's no' fair love?" Adrian managed to murmur softly as a low moan escaped his lips as her fingertips dug into his skin. His lips traveling across her jaw and down her neck, Adrian lingered at the base of her neck in a number of tender kisses, his tongue caressing her soft, smooth skin with each kiss.

"Adrian..." Lucina moaned though a bit of fustration leaked into her bliss. "Why do you enjoy teasing me so much." She said with a pout as she lifted Adrian's chin so that their eyes could meet. "Do you have any idea how upsetting it is for you to taunt me so and then stop?" She asked, her eyes flickering with anger.

"I don' mean t' anger ye nor taunt ye," Adrian sighed as he rested his forehead against her shoulder, "Lu.. I stop fer you.. If ye don' want me t' stop, I won'.. But ye told me ye didn't wish t' make love t' me until after we're married nor until ye knew ye weren't goin' back.. I didn' want t' force ye, Lu, it would be very wrong o' me t' do so. Yer so hard t' figure out, Lu.. Ye tell me no, yet yer actions say yes.. I don' understan'..."

"I'm sorry, Lucina..," Adrian whispered against her shoulder, "I'm so sorry.."

"Perhaps it's best I don' kiss ye when we're alone like this..." Adrian suggested as he started to slip out of her embrace.

"How are humans so incredibly fustrating?" Lucina sighed as she wrapped her arms tight around Adrian to prevent him from leaving her side. "All of this is so complicated..." She murmured under her breath. "How can I possibly want two different things at the same time. It makes no sense." Lucina sighed, burying her face in the crook of Adrian's neck.

"It's part o' bein' human, love.. Nuthin' we do makes sense most o' th' time.." Adrian sighed as he tenderly caressed her cheek and leaned back against her, "I'm sorry, love.. I don' mean t' do this t' ye.. It's jus' as frustratin' fer me t' be this close 'n' go so far, only t' not be able t' go tha' far. But I'm willin' t' wait fer ye, Lu, ye don' 'ave t' worry abou' tha'. There's no one in this world I want other than you," he promised with a long, tender, hard, passionate kiss.

"Well you're certainly not making it easy for me to wait." Lucina sighed against his lips, curling herself around him. "It especially doesn't help when your hands are roaming uner my dress." She murmured, putting one ofher hands in his and tangling their fingers.

Adrian sighed as he gave her hand a tender squeeze as he rested his forehead against her shoulder, "I'm sorry Lu.. I'm so sorry.. I promise ye, I won' do it again.. I didn' realize th' effect it was 'avin' on ye.. Please fergive me Lu..."

"Don't apologize." Lucina said softly as she brought his lips back to her's. "I love you." She said as she tangled a hand in his hair, unable to get any closer to him then she already was.

"I love ye too, Lu, bu' I'm still sorry fer not bein' able t' control myself very well," Adrian whispered against her lips as he fought back to the urge to caress her soft skin with his fingertips. Focusing his hands on caressing her cheek and tangling in her hair, Adrian tried to distract himself from the feel of her lips against his and the feel of her body against his for if he let his mind wander, it would be more than he could bare after everything that had happened.

Lucina sighed happily against Adrian's lips, her own leaving passionate kisses on hie jaw and neck, carefully making their way to the base of his neck. "I love you." She murmured between kisses, feeling her toes curl from his kisses.

A soft moan escaped Adrian's lips with a sharp intake of air as her kisses trailed across his jaw and neck. "Lu.." Adrian warned softly as he Brought her lips back to his, "I love ye too, very much.. But yer no' helpin' when ye kiss me like tha'," Adrian explained with a small laugh.

"Like what?" Lucina teased though she kept her lips on Adrian's, letting all coherent thoughts go as she focused only on his lips.

"Lu.. I'm serious.." Adrian managed to whispered between kisses, nearly losing his resolve to not roam beneath the hem of her dress as his thoughts nearly became incoherent due to her kisses and touch.

"I'm sorry." Lucina murmured as she stopp her kisses and simply curled against Adrian's side, her arms loopiong around Adrian's waist with her face buried in his neck.

"Don' be," Adrian murmured softly into her hair as he pulled her close and tenderly caressed her side, "I'm th' one who should apologize.. I love ye Lu. I promise, things'll be fine soon. It's jus' hard righ' now 'cause I'm no' used t' feelin' like this.."

"Tell me about it." Lucina laughed against Adrian's neck, feeling comforted by his arms around her. "I haven't ever felt his way in all of the centuries I've been alive." She said with a sigh, tracing designs on his chest.

Adrian chuckled as he placed a tender kiss upon her hair, "I suppose tha' does give me a wee bit o' comfort, love, especially since yer comparin' me t' a bunch o' handsome Gods who I could nev'r compare with."

"Nonsense." Lucina said as she sat up and ran her fingers over his chiseled muscles. "I think you're more handsome then any God I've met." She said softly. "I think that you're absolutely handsome." She murmured before giving him a long kiss.

Adrian chuckled as he eagerly returned her kiss. "Yer full o' it, love, but I appreciate th' effort in tryin' t' ease th' pain from me pride," Adrian teased between kisses, "I love ye, Lu."

"I love you too." Lucina smiled as a few locks of her hair fell over her shoulder. "Which is exactly why you have no reason to feel envious of the Gods. You are exactly what I want. Even if you are mortal." She added with a sly smile.

Adrian chuckled as he pulled her close for a number of tender kisses. "I'll take that as a compliment, love," he murmured softly against her lips between kisses, his tongue slipping between her lips to caress her own.

"Well I guess that's the better way of taking it." Lucina teased as she returned his kisses with passionate ones of her own, focusing only on his lips.
