Lenally looked at him as he took her hands again, still catching her breath. There was a shake to his grip, but she almost couldn't feel it over her own trembling. "I....it's.....it's fine." she said dropping her gaze until she felt his hand at her cheek once more, such a gentle touch. She felt him pull her into his arms but this time for some reason she couldn't stop him. Being there she felt something new, exciting. Frightening.<br/><br/>"I....I'm not beautiful." Lenally said, the normal tone of her voice changed from her surprise. She wasn't used to being called beautiful, she wasn't used to being a woman as she acted more like a man half the time. She looked up and saw Lorenso's deep gaze into her eyes. She gulped a little, wondering if she'd done the right thing in coming but knowing that Lorenso would never harm her or force her. She attempted to relax in his arms, still trembling. She felt an urge to punch him but his sudden kiss shook her senses somewhat.
