Susan let out just the slightest muffles of protest as he lifted her up off the ground, but she started to smile against his lips.
She wasn't sure if it was something about his scent, or the way in which he kissed her, but being so close made most of the worries go away.
His hands were in her hair as her own were against his chest, her hands toying with his robes as her fingers brushed against the clasps. She gave him a look that was filled with promise, even if she started to feel nervous. "Promise you'll go easy?" she said, sounding very much like a scared little girl.
