Compared to him, the guy was the complete package... Maybe it was that she was really holding out for someone like him... Maybe he was a simple placeholder.<em>'But... Do stunning ladies really spend three years on a placeholder...?'</em>He was silent as he looked into Nerissa's eyes, and maybe she could tell; He was in another internal debate with himself... However, his hand reached up to gingerly cradle her head, dragging his thumb against her cheek. His eyes softened, seemingly as he reached a satisfactory answer, unbeknownst to what she said to him.<em>'No... She is the right one for you. She crossed over from a whole new world, and was by your side for three years. If that isn't the clearest sign that fate had plans for you and her, then you truly are a lost cause. I will not regret my choice at all...'</em><br/><br/>Blinking slowly, he'd missed out on what she told him entirely, but at least managed to catch the next sentence. "I don't know... It's certainly seen a fair bit of damage..." the white-haired male hummed, before he grinned. "You thirsty little thing... Making me feel better than I have any right to be, and I'm enjoying it..." He breathed quietly, moving his hand behind her head to brush gently. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do with you when you make such lewd remarks, and then follow up with such heartfelt things... But I will treasure it, Nerissa..." He finished, before her lips closed in to seal the unspoken promise, his fingers closing gently behind her neck as he parted his lips to allow her to kiss further. This time, it was his turn to gently snag her lower lip with his teeth, dragging his tongue along the flesh before he released it with a wink.<br/><br/>However, she was a different beast entirely with that cube of ice... "I like to think of it as getting lost with you in the passion..." He laughed, before blinking as she pulled his shirt up. "Hey, wait, you better not b-ah...!" This time the shocked gasp was more audible now, his mouth forced open as his breathing staggered, long enough for her lips to lock to his and force a very cool tongue into his warm mouth. Moisture built in his eyes just from sensation along as he hungrily dragged his tongue against hers, trying to steal that coolness for himself.<em>'Neri, you're going to break me at this rate... Turn me into some mindless beast for your amusements...'</em>His mind was shaken a bit, but thankfully she slipped the cup of ice into her cup.<br/><br/>"Show me...?" His brain was still trying to catch up to his mouth, while his body guided his hand to take hers before his brain could ponder what she was leading him into. There was excitement welling in his chest, but he didn't expect anything major to happen... The walls were thin here, weren't they...?
