Her hand was light on his as she led him into her darkened quarters. She was very aware of all the places their bodies brushed against each other's, his arm against her side, her shoulder against his chest...his fingers slowly removing themselves from hers to trail up her arm...
Her heart began to beat faster as, blushing, Nialyn turned around to look up at him.
"Can I take your jacket?" he murmured, his cheek brushing hers, his fingers slipping under her heavy winter coat's collar, sliding along her shoulders down along her arms, helping her shrug out of the heavy fabric. She still smelled of the chilled night air, but he could feel the hint of warmth as the blood rushed to her face. As her coat fell to the floor he brushed his cold fingers along the back of her neck, tracing icy lines across the skin insulated by her long blonde hair.
Nialyn shivered - but it wasn't _all_ from the touch of his cold fingers. Shards... Her body swayed a little closer to his, her fingers twisting together before hesitantly reaching for his waist. She glanced up at him, her blush deepening.
A slight flicker of doubt flashed in his eyes as he whispered, "Nialyn, have... have you ever been with a man before?"
"Of course I have," she murmured, though the blush spread from her cheeks down to her neck. "We're in a Weyr, after all. Birigundi..."
She was still blushing, and he wondered just what it was that made her so nervous. "If you just want to call it a night, Nialyn, I would understand," he said gently.
She shook her head, her fingers tightening on his jacket a little more. "I...want you here." And she did. She may still have some of those holdbred inhibitions, but she wasn't sharding _blind_! He was quite attractive, and though she knew of his reputation, it just didn't matter. Not with him looking at her with those eyes...
"Good," he smiled, "'cause I really want to stay." He kissed her softly, not wanting to scare her more than she already seemed to be.
At first, she just let him kiss at her lips, but when his hold on her began to lightly tighten, she had worked up enough confidence in herself to slowly kiss him back. It was obvious she hadn't done this as much as he apparently had, but she was learning. Shards... Her fingers gently plucked at his jacket, unconsciously asking for more.
Lucky for her, Birigundi was never one that required much encouragement.
His jacket soon lay on the floor, quickly followed by his shirt, though he kept the kisses gentle and teasing.
Their lips broke suddenly when the back of her knees bumped up against the edge of her bed. Blinking, her gaze hazy with building desire, she gazed up at him before coming closer to kiss his neck. She was growing more confident now...
Birigundi had no hesitations as he eased her onto the bed, banishing her inhibitions with her fingers and drawing out her confidence with his lips. She was exactly what he had hoped for - beautiful, soft and sweet, and he was determined to make the most of their night together.
