''Does that feel better?''
He kissed her back as his hands began to move to her hips, softly running his fingers over them.
He knelt in front of her and began to do the same to her legs, down to her feet, smirking at her, knowing what was likely to be on her mind.

She sighed "Yes, thank you..." she moaned as his hands brushed over her hips, then mock glared at him. "You purposely would attempt to make me go back on my word? Shame on you, Niko." she smiled wryly.

He gave her an innocent look.
''I have done nothing'' he said, as his hands began to move slower, and more gently, causing him to smirk even further.
''If your willpower is that low however then you may be forced to go back on your word''
His hands found her thighs as he began to softly rub them. He wondered if she was breaking.

"You of all people know my will power is strong." she laughed then stood up off the bed and stretched. "The question is how stron your will is to get the thing that you desire." she grinned wickedly and leaned against the wall casually.

''You speak the truth. It is difficult when it is right in front of me. I wish to hold it, taste it.''
He reached out and looked at her, still kneeling. His hand went near her leg, past it and to the bottle of ale on the table. Picking it up he drank, grinning impishly at her.

She shrugged "We both know you love your ale." she smiled and stretched her hands above her head and placed them there on the wall. "We'll have to hold a ceremony for you and your beloved." she teased as he drank the ale.

''No, no I could not do that. I will not share this with the world. It is too special to me'' he teased back.
He took another drink, stroking the bottle, exaggerating the entire action, before sighing in enjoyment.
''That is true bliss''

"I see this." she quirked and eyebrow at him. "A private marriage then?" she arched her back slightly, causing her chest to perk up. "Hm...well, I guess I will leave you two alone then." she winked and began walking to the door, swinging her hips exaggeratedly as she did.

His eyes grew as she moved her chest out and continued to grow as she walked towards the door.
Focus, Niko. Focus.
''Wait.'' he said. ''Take this and think of me tonight'' he winked and tossed her a pillow.

"oh?" she held the pillow to her, raising her leg a bit to hold it. "Perhaps..." she held it out, and placed her hand on her hip, making sure it pulled the top of her nightshirt down just a bit. "Or perhaps I won't..."

(ok, have fun )

He laughed at her attempts. He forced his head back into the game.
''It makes no difference to me. Now if you would be so kind, the ale and I wish to be alone''
He winked, waiting for what she would do.

She laughed "Ok, sir!" she turned and walked out the door and into the spare room where she got under the covers and laid there with her eyes closed, smiling. Her hands went behin her head to support it.

He gawped at her as she left the room.He had not believed that she would do it.
He let out a laugh so she could hear, he drank his ale deeper, refusing to let his thoughts rest on his desire for her. He could do this.

She smirked as he laughed, then let out a shrill yawn, that ended in a moan as she stretched. She turned on her side, satisfied she had resisted him. He had looked surprised when she actually did leave the room. She mentally patted herself on the back for a card well played, and giggled.

Niko set down his empty bottle of ale and reached for another. He was beginning to get a little drunk, and he was enjoying every second of it. He let all the candles in the room burn out and he sat in the dark, taking drink after drink, his thoughts merrily coming about.

She smiled into the dark, and soon found herself feeling sleepy again. She lay back into the pillows after grabbing a drink of water. She fell into a light, peaceful sleep with no dreams.
