Wordlessly she urged him to touch her, arching into his hold the moment his hands spanned her narrow waist yet all the while seeking more of his touch. There had only been one other person she had craved to feel like this and it was a brief struggle to ban the vibrant brunette from her mind lest the blonde nymph drown in her grief. Setting her will to scrub away all that remained of her Mistress from her heart and soul in order to find piece, she banished all thoughts of Eirene from her mind. Instead she threw herself into focusing on the gentle lilt of her husband's voice, the sound a seduction in itself.<br/><br/>Her poet had returned to her and with very word that left his lips her heart soared. In silence she listened, her head bowed ever so slightly to watch him from beneath her eyelashes. Blue eyes sparkled as brilliantly as the ocean behind them yet they remained fixed on her husband with no small amount of admiration. Daphne couldn't honestly say she was deeply, madly in love with Orion but it was a step closer she happily took.<br/><br/>When the last words finally rolled off his tongue and the hand on her neck urged her forward she complied with a gentle curl of her lips. Without a word she rose to meet his lips in a slow explorative kiss that sent shivers racing down her spine. Her heart raced and her breathing hitched and still she clung to him with a desperate fervor. This went past the need to feel alive after their narrow escape from becoming two more souls lost in the crowds of lost souls on the Acheron's riverbanks without payment for the ferrier. This was not about losing themselves in one another in order to escape from the direc reality they faced alone on this seemingly forgotten island. Daphne merely embraced Orion with a soft sigh and a welcome smile, holding him to her as she should have done upon their departure from Athens.<br/><br/>Pulling back ever so slightly she met his gaze warmly as a delicate blush dusted her fine features. Tender, feminine lips brush against his own with a passionate tremble when she finally spoke. "Orion, that was beautiful beyond words. The Mousai must have blessed you for surely the muses themselves must smile at your words." Again she offered her lips to his own for another soulful kiss, her hands clutching into fists behind his back in an effort to draw him closer to his bride.
