His other hand moved slowly along the parted edges of the gown; his fingertips caressed her bare back to the next button... but he didn't unfasten it. "Avalyn." he said softly and kissed her lightly on the lips. He felt, at long last, that they could take their time... to experience and explore those lovely lips without the need to sneak a hurried kiss before a Sister caught them. They had kissed many times; some of them more than passionate, but always rushed, always as a forbidden act to dare the powers that be to catch them. His desire for her soft lips was no less now for the loss of that daring, but he wanted to take his time to explore not only those lips, but all of her. "My dearest Avalyn." he whispered softly against the lips that he longed for, "I would tell you that I have not experienced all that much myself." He grinned a little, "I feel like a boy holding his first woman and I am far, far more afraid of disappointing you than even thinking that you might somehow disappoint me."<br/><br/>His hand moved up to caress her cheek with hands that were used to the blade, but gave a gentle touch none the less. "You could not disappoint me if you worked at it as hard as you have to obtain the shawl. You are a beautiful woman and I have wanted to hold you for years." He kissed her then, slowly, deeply... letting himself explore and learn how their tongues touched... teased... twined and their hearts beat. Slowly, his hand slipped deeper under the material of the dress and along her bare skin... Until he drew her closer to him and his fingertips caressed the side of her breast.<br/><br/>He paused and groaned softly as their lips parted, "If you keep doing that Dearest, I'm sure that I'll disappoint you for a few minutes at least." he said with a soft laugh. "I'm only a man and my desire for you is already great... Perhaps I should just hold you up in the air." he teased her, but didn't move his hands as he held her.
