Was it for the best to give in to her impulses?  Alice not sure.  In this new world, she felt lost and misplaced, but he had managed to make her feel like her vulnerability with him was not a total waste.  A thousand thoughts spun in her head as his lips again connected with her lips, this time he was the one to bring them together, to advance them forward into whatever kind of intimacy they might share.  As their bodies shifted and she suddenly found herself beneath him, some of those spinning thoughts were lost, but some that conflicted remained.  Alice knew where this was heading, if they continued she would end up in bed with a man she barely knew...but his hands felt good against her form, perhaps they even felt right against her body.  The kind of hands that touched her in dreams.  The kind of dreams that left her with sensations that would cause her to wake feeling both content and so needy at the same time.<br/><br/>Alice again pulled back and allowed her eyes to meet his.  For a moment, that latent power with in her seemed to shimmer to the surface, giving off the faintest feeling of what lay within her, what those cultists wanted so bad.  She was not sure exactly what it was or what it could do, but she was suddenly and acutely aware that it was hers and it was not like the human batteries he had mentioned.  She was something else.  Something pure and untapped by this world.  Alice starred up at him and for a moment she wondered if he had seen the power spark as well, but before either could remark on it, she curved the subject back to what was about to occur between them.  A part of her thought that perhaps this was all just an elaborate dream, due to jetlag and odd time zones...But deep down she knew it wasn't.<br/><br/>"Clearly the desire is mutual, but Emlyn, I am just trying to find my place in this world..."  She whispered up, her lips just a breath away from his.  "Is there more to what is happening here?  Or is it use desire, as you said?"  The question felt weighty to her, but it seemed to depend on his answer.  She could not help but be curious, with all the oddities this world had shown her so far.  With the strange way Azure had commented on creating her wardrobe.  She did not feel as if she had been lied to, but she did worry that she still had so much to learn about this world.  This place that would be her new home and the man that controlled it all, the house, the city.  She brought her lips up to his again, this time in a chaste, gentle kiss and awaited his answer.
