Re: Casper & Fiona - the next morning
He couldn't help the way he nodded so enthusiastically at her request - hold her he could do. And she wanted him to! He could have soared on the feeling of being needed, even if it had come at a terrible time.
He moved to just behind where she sat on the bed and settled in with his arms around her, his legs spreading to give her space between his thighs. "Is this okay?" he asked, his voice low and his mouth close to her hair - but not touching her, just in case. She had asked him to hold her, but that didn't have to include intimacies like speaking low into her ear or breathing in the smell of her hair. That was up to her.
