Pulling back with knowing eyes, Selene felt a stronger ache work its way throughout her at the look on his face. He looked flushed, red rising high up on his cheeks. Eyes bright and hazy, similar to the look he would get whenever he started to get tipsy. She raised a finger to run it across her own bottom lip as her eyes dropped to stare at his, feeling the place where he had lightly nipped. They were both becoming heated and lightheaded the longer they stared at each other, and she regained enough of herself to push away thoughts of pushing him further in this place.
Her breath hitched in her throat, and she swallowed. He had just unknowingly let a curse rip from his lips, and it felt so damn good to know she had just affected him that way. She was warm all over, particularly between her legs, at the implication of his words. It was difficult to get her mind off of the mental images it aroused, or to block out the memories of his throaty growls and shudders. She caught his shoulders as he pulled her close, biting hard into her lip. He was almost unbearably hot, his pulse beating so strongly that she could feel it. And the way his shoulders flexed underneath her hands, as if he was straining to hold back...
Taking a few seconds to regather her quickly fleeing focus, she dragged her hands from his shoulders to his upper arms, kneading there. "As long as we're discreet, I think we can get away with a few things..." Selene couldn't quite wrap her head around being the one to propose this. But she didn't want him to stop, didn't want to stop what she had just started. It would kill them both to ignore this. She raised her gaze to meet his. "I just want to..." Daringly, she leaned in quickly to nip on his lip. "Show my appreciation for everything."
Because she understood what the ring stood for, and the promise it held. Despite the haze of lust, her eyes softened as she watched him. This perfect man. Even for all his worrying, he would suddenly just come out and surprise her with this. She stepped back, taking a deep breath of the cool night air to calm herself down a little, and offered her hand to him. "Besides, don't you think you'll have less of this until we are properly wed?" Knowing how it would throw him off-guard, she shot a teasing smirk at him as she pulled him along. She didn't know if he wanted to marry yet soon, but thoughts of it had come to her with the arrival of this night and his gift.
A longer park visit would have to wait until another time. They stumbled into the apartment soon enough after fumbling with the door and their keys, pushing each other inside with a renewed playfulness, eager to tease and coax the other. Crow was already in his own room, likely studying, when they rushed past his door. Upon reaching their room, she shut the door and locked it behind her before pulling the fire demon in for another kiss that quickly deepened until both of them were red and gasping.
