As he pressed more kisses to her neck, Maric's hands began to wander back up until they had reached the underside of her bosom. A little more cautiously now, his hands slowly gripped her firm flesh until he finally worked up the courage to knead them. When she turned around, he was almost disappointed that she had broken his contact. Nimue's kiss however, which seemed almost hungry, sated him. Breaking the kiss between their lips, Maric one again began to kiss lower ever so tantalizingly slow, but this time he had a specific target in mind. He had overheard others in bars bragging about being able to please woman, and he was sure that this was something they said woman loved. His hand slowly began to slip down the cleavage of her gown and carefully slipped one of her breasts from it's covering. Leaning back, Maric took in the sight of his lovely Nimue as she lay back on the table, his eyes full of love and a little of something else. He almost didn't realize that Nimue was holding him back from what he was about to do.<br/>"That was partially because of who my patron was." Maric explained once Nimue broke through the haze that had clouded his mind. "But I've been thinking. You have devoted yourself to the goddess of the earth, and at the moment, I am a part of the church. I think that we should fix that, and maybe have me take your goddess as my patron?"<br/>After pausing to hear what she had to say about that, Maric leaned down and kissed her brow.<br/>"I know that I said that I wish to give my body only to one woman." He went on. "What I thought I meant at the time was that I'd only lay with one whom I was vowed to live with forever and always. Now though, I think that I do not need that extra assurance, for I know that we will always be true. You are the woman I want to grow old with, the one I want to raise a family with. And nothing, not even an official ceremony can  make that feeling stronger than it already is. I will marry you. Soon. And when we do we can make love as much as we can if that is what you wish. But I know you've been wanting this. To tell you the truth, I have too for a while now. I just didn't know how to say it.<br/>"Now, if you are still intent on marrying me before we proclaim our love in the most sensual of ways, then we'll march right up to a priest in town, or even Lady Vivianne to marry us together.<br/>"Or, we could spend the rest of the night demonstrating how much we love each other, and plan one of the largest and most extravagant weddings you could possibly imagine another day."<br/>At this, Maric bent down to place another set of kisses tantalizingly close to the top of her breast, his arm tracing alluringly down her side before cupping her bottom and pulling her against his now tented trousers<br/>Maric would respect whatever decision she made, but Nimue was making it incredibly difficult to resist.
