Florence returned the sly smile Ryan gave her when he asked about Adonijah, a flash of amusement in her blue eyes, "Oh yes, very much so," she said warmly. She didn't feel the need to comment further on the financial aspect of the transaction at the moment, nothing seemed out of the ordinary or unreasonable to her as she set the pricing back on Ryan's desk.<br/><br/>Nicholas spoke of time then, one hour for Atticus, two for Adonijah.. to be certain her desires were fulfilled.<em>'My desires.. An interesting way to put it...'</em>She toyed with a few of the curls of her hair as she considered those words.<em>'What do I </em>desire<em> anymore?'</em>Her blue eyes found Nicholas' face and she made a smile surface in place of her earlier grin, hiding away her thoughts of the moment,<em>'Very few things endear themselves to me anymore.. Carnal desires are passing, short, but there is more to be had in life..'</em>The smile made her eyes seem softer as she looked at Nicholas. If anything at all was a true and lasting desire for Florence, being with Nicholas was it.<em>'How quickly I've grown attached..'</em><br/><br/>The moment passed and she turned her gaze back on Ryan, sure the Master of the House would accommodate Nicholas' needs in regards to lighting. Her mind turned over the information she'd been given about Adonijah.. both woman and man... How did such a thing come to pass? How would their interaction play out? Her tongue stole across her lower lip as she pondered, images flashing through her mind all the while.<em>'This should make for fun.'</em>
