[She shifted easily enough as he tugged her closer, parting her lips and deepening the kiss as he'd allow. Her eyes remained closed, but her hand at his cheek moved to the back of his head, fingers threading in his hair.]

[fliesonfour]

[He hummed at the hand in his hair and reached around to better feel the arch of her leg, half-hidden beneath the coat. He had absolutely no trouble with keeping up with the kiss, nor with deepening it; and what a feisty woman, to also not mind!]

[cruelpatience]

[The hand at her leg earned a small sound from her, muffled by their kiss. She would be amused if he called her feisty out loud, but until then, she could only continue their kiss. She enjoyed it more and more by the moment until she had to pull away to catch her breath. Smiling coyly once more, she scratched her nails lightly against his scalp and kept her nose just barely touching his as she admitted breathlessly:]

Yes, these are more than agreeable kisses.

[fliesonfour]

More than...

[He murmured, peeking open an eye, all agreement. Contrary to what he'd imagined, she wasn't very cold, and her lips felt delightful and soft. There was maybe the slight taste of sea-salt, but he'd been so long on a ship, that what did he taste it?

Pressing his nose against hers and nudging, he commented,]

Well. We will have to buy you a dress, it is settled; I think I may mean to keep you.

[cruelpatience]

[Emboldened by their shared kisses, she nuzzled her nose against his cheek, then his neck.]

And I may just let you... But I'm suddenly much warmer than I was earlier, would it be terrible if I was that immodest lady and returned your jacket to you now?

[Inquired as she pressed a few kisses along his neck tentatively.]

[fliesonfour]

It would be terrible, yes. But I am a terrible man, and so, nothing is the matter here.

[Giving her knee a tap, he nodded to the fire.]

I will fetch that for us, and why don't you find yourself a more comfortable spot, upon the bed? If we are being immodest, pardon me; we must do it hedonistically, and be very comfortable, laying down and drinking.

[cruelpatience]

[She laughed and nodded, slipping from his lap to stand up.]

Oh of course, we must go all out if we are to be truly terrible.

[Offering him help up, she made her way over to the bed as soon as he started toward the fire. It was an easy task, unbuttoning the jacket and slipping it from her frame, allowing it to rest from the nearest hook.

When he would turn back to her, he'd find her laying across the bed, watching him curiously, but entirely nude as he'd found her.]

[fliesonfour]

[He got the drinks into two little cups, careful not to burn himself, before replacing the tin somewhere safe. Picking either up and heading to the bed, he felt his breath catch at the very sight of her, before he gave an appreciative nod.]

You are extraordinarily beautiful, you know! Marvelous.

[cruelpatience]

[She shifted a little, smiling bashfully at his compliments as he headed over to her.]

You charm me, monsieur.

[Shifting to sit up, she licked her lips and held out her hands to take the cup.]

[fliesonfour]

Do I just? Well done to me then, eh?

[Smiling, he took a seat by the foot of the bed, handed her her cup, then tapped himself on the cheek.]

At the price of another kiss, if it please you!

[cruelpatience]

Quite well done, yes.

[With the cup in hand, she laughed and scooted closer to him, allowing him a kiss on the cheek.

Then another.

And a third for good measure.]

It pleases me, yes.

[fliesonfour]

In threes! That's good luck.

[Also looking pleased, he went to clink their glasses, before giving her another once-over and quirking his head.]

The sooner the wine is in us, the sooner we shall be in the bed properly. Which is perhaps a shame, as you look lovely above the coverlet.

[cruelpatience]

Is it? Well, even better in that case!

[She didn't shy away from his gaze, she was aware that humans weren't as open with their nudity...]

Then we'll have to drink it as slowly as we can, I believe. How does that sound?

[fliesonfour]

Who could possibly argue that?

[With a merry bob of his head, he took a sip of the wine.]

Tell me if it's to your liking.

[cruelpatience]

[And with another bright smile, she nodded back before sipping her wine...

And her eyes widening.]

This is delicious!

[fliesonfour]

[He gave a giggle at that, and went to tap her nose.]

The way all medicines should be, isn't that right!

[cruelpatience]

Should be, but rarely are.

[Said very wisely. She scrunched her nose when he tapped it, smiling at him with a giggle to match.]

[fliesonfour]

Oh?

[He leaned over her, screwing his brows up, pretending to observe very closely.]

And you know a lot about medicine, do you?

[cruelpatience]

Not as much as your tone implies.

[And she's leaning closer to him, lips quirked.]

I believe our medicine and yours differ quite a bit... Are you a doctor, then, monsieur?

[fliesonfour]

I am a doctor. And it is too bad.

For, you see, I am greatly in need of a nurse to help me.

[cruelpatience]

Oh? Well, I am eager to learn, especially if you intend to keep me, monsieur médecin...

I may need an examination in the meantime, however, to assure that I am in good form as a human.

[fliesonfour]

Oh?

[He took another big gulp of his wine; he did need to to ensure he wouldn't be ill, after all!; before setting it aside on the night stand.]

I can provide such an exam.

[cruelpatience]

[Her smile widened and she took another sip of hers before following suit.]

Can you? How lucky I am to be kept by you, in that case!

[fliesonfour]

Lucky, indeed. I must ask you to lay back... it can be a very delicate exam, after all.

[cruelpatience]

Oh of course!

[With a very bright smile, then, she shifted over a little more and laid back carefully.]
