Her hands caressed his face and Ceridwen climbed up onto the
chair he sat in, kneeling so that she was astride him. Hope and joy and sadness
swam in her eyes and she trembled as she bent to kiss him. Their lips brushed
only lightly at first, reacquainting themselves, and then she kissed him deep
and long.
His heart had seemed to stop before, and now it beat with
such speed and vigor he thought it would burst. His own hands trembled as they
slid over her back, tracing her body from the softness of her hair to the
extraordinary spot at the small of her back where his touch had always made her
shiver.
"Meanwhile," she whispered, drawing her face back
only inches from his, her profile illuminated in moonlight, her small breasts
still pressed into him. "Focus on me."
Ceridwen began to undo the buttons of his shirt.
Arthur decided that, for this evening at least, the world
would have to wait.
