Summary
"It occurs to him suddenly that if he but says the word, she’ll deny her own desires and give him space, bid him a good night and offer him a drink in her sleep - as she always does - before making her way to her own bedroll. He knows she will do so without question. It also occurs to him that he does not desire that. He wants her closer. Her hesitation here, when she is so near that he can catch a hint of the Mermaid Whiskey still on her breath, is a clear offering of power. One he finds irresistible. It sends another pulse of desire through him. She’s always giving him power…without sacrificing her own, he realizes suddenly. The epiphany is…intoxicating.
In a rush, he closes the gap between them, snaking an arm about her waist and drawing her into his lap in a crushing embrace as their lips meet hungrily. He wants this. He wants this. So does she. He cannot imagine anything more alluring and terrifying at the same time."
