cael!
What was she doing, what was she doing, what was she doing?

Pinned down in-between the fluffy upholstery of her couch and a warm body, Cecilia Hooke could not help but to wonder what chain of events had lead her into this situation she was in now.

It wasn't like she was complaining by any means, of course. She liked Cael Gray enough, he kissed more than well enough, and certainly she had been enjoying the last few weeks being filled with his company. She just wanted to know how somehow, despite all of her walls and aversion to men in general as of late, that someone had managed to get her into anything resembling a snog... much less many times over.

Many, many, many times over.

Breaking out of a long kiss, she slowly opened her eyes and sent him a sultry smile, all the while reminding herself that this was just for play. Whatever he might have thought this was--which, honestly, worried her more than she cared to admit--, to her this was just a... what? A game? A release of pent-up sexual tension?

Yes, it was something like that. Whatever it was, it was not anything having to do with a legitimate relationship, no matter how much she enjoyed the time spent with him. After all, she absolutely couldn't do that again.

He couldn’t help the way his brow crinkled with confusion as he watched her fumble around with her words, trying to pick and choose which ones were the most appropriate. He followed her gaze over to the vase of flowers, and then looked back to her, watching her despite the fact that she was making it very clear that he was the last thing she wanted to be looking at while she expressed the smallest desire for him to stay.

“Well…it’s quite simple, actually.”

He stood to his feet, and took a few steps closer to her, though he stopped before he was near enough to actually touch her.

“If you’d like for me to stay…I’ll stay. Otherwise, I’ll take the hint and get outta your hair for the night.”

He smirked down at her, hoping to lighten the situation by putting into his own terms. He reached forward to angling her face towards him, wanting her to look at him again.

“If you’re worried about hurting my feelings, don’t be.” His eyes drifted down to her lips, his hand lifting to tuck some of her hair behind her ear, the backs of his knuckles grazing the gentle curve of her jaw on the way back down towards her chin.

“Just tell me what you want.”

Of all the things she had been expecting him to say and do, they were admittedly an enormous departure from the reality of what was actually happening at that point in time.

Confusion clouding her eyes, Cecilia allowed her gaze to be drawn back up to him reluctantly, and she was stunned by the... what were these emotions he was projecting? Understanding, gentleness? Her mind was spinning in that moment, and the sincerity in his words and soft touch were enough to stun her where she stood. Had she wanted to look away again, it was likely that such an effort would have been wasted. Whatever the words were for how Cael was acting, it was certainly nothing that she had been trained to expect out of a man.

She opened her mouth to speak, before realizing that she knew even less what to say now than she had just seconds ago. Even so, staring up at him, Cecilia knew that the answer was painfully simple. What could she do, about this? This was not supposed to happen.

"I, ah--" Mentally cringing and yet entirely pleased with herself at the same time, she took a deep breath before reaching up to lay her hand over his. "You should... stay."
