moonlit stroll always helps the restless

damn regret. we'll try to forget.
don't worry about me cause i'm refined.
i'll kiss you on your neck
people will stare but we won't care.

her heat was beating a mile a minute as she waited for his answer and warm tears spilled down her cheeks as she realized what her answer was. she wanted to be there. she didn't want to leave. when her fingers came to brush against her cheeks, she watched in awe as his eyes closed and he leaned into her. it could very well be the alcohol talking. no, it couldn't. this sounded too real. his words made a choking sob spill from her lips and immediately she pulled her hand back and covered her mouth. "don't say that.." she muttered, shaking her head. "you're drunk. you hate me and we both know it. you hate me." her voice was filled of uncertainty and her eyes shut tight as she stood there hugging her arms to her chest.

then, his hand reached out to her face and oh, it felt so good. but his words were so confusing. she wanted to believe him, to trust him, but she loved owen and she couldn't betray him like this.. could she? he would never have to know. but could she live with the guilt? finally she looked over at him and with a deep breath, she lunged forward, crashing her lips to his. eyes closed, she deepened the kiss, arms wrapping around his neck and her tears stopping instantaneously. finally, she pulled back slowly, teeth tugging gently on his bottom lip and hands tugging on his hair. standing on her toes, she let her forehead come to rest upon his and she gently let her nose rub against his. "i want you with me." she breathed softly, finally opening her eyes to look up into his. "if you really care that much then show me instead of treating me like shit. even if it's just for tonight."

in this moment, she wanted nothing more than to be lead to where ever this night would lead her, and to wake up in his arms in the morning.

mikayle shook his head rapidly at her accusation. nothing could be further from the truth, and he had known it for a while now. for the longest time, he tried to ignore it. he had tried to convince himself that he could be content with a proper marriage to arrabella avery. she was everything he had ever wanted in a wife; adoring, biddable, and pleasing to look at. but it was no longer enough for him and he knew he couldn't condemn himself to eternity with anyone other than this perfect creature standing in front of him, kissing him with breathtaking intensity. when mikayle saw tears spill from ellie's beautiful eyes, a part of his heart broke. he wiped them away with a tender finger and spoke in a low, soothing voice. "i've never hated you, elyssia monroe," he assured her. "i never have, and i never could."

he smoothed her hair as she kissed him, and savored the sweet taste of her. he wrapped his other arm around her waist and gently pressed her against him. mikayle's gaze held hers as she told him that she wanted him, and he failed miserably at containing his grin while he responded."i will never again speak to you with anything but the utmost respect...and affection," he vowed. and with that, mikayle bent his knees and scooped ellie into his arms, intent upon carrying her the entire way back to slytherin house, and not allowing her to leave until at least noon the next day. merlin have mercy on anyone who interrupted them.

she couldn't breathe. the air was fading fast from her lungs and she was beginning to feel light headed. this was so surreal. she couldn't speak, she couldn't think, all she could do was stare at him as he shook his head, disagreeing with her every word. as more and more tears came from her eyes, she felt her heart break. as much as she didn't want it, she was falling for everything he was saying. every last word was sinking into her mind and numbing her brain lungs and heart. all she could do was lean into him when he raised his hand to her cheek and wiped away her tears. his skin felt so good. closing her eyes, she took a breath in and placed her hand atop of his and gently gripped it. her eyes only opened once more to connect to his warm chocolate ones when he spoke. her own were still watery, but tears stopped falling. "i don't understand mikayle.. " she breathed, still looking up into his eyes, clearly focused.

then, she was lost again and the world was spinning. then it was gone. the earth.. everything around her but his arms and his lips. everything else didn't matter. it was all gone. it was non-exsistant. the kiss was so powerful. she grew hungry for more and deepened it, wrapping her arms tighter around his neck and pressed the length of her body closer to his, standing on her toes to keep in better sync. she no longer felt completely unsure of him. she simply felt comfortable. oh, she still felt as if she was doing wrong. she loved owen more than anything.. hell, she was even trying to have his child for god's sake! but here, now, for some reason, it was like none of that mattered. it was like she was falling in love all over again. she didn't want to, but it was happening. her fingers ran once through his hair before she had to pull away and then she was back to reality. or.. she thought.

again he spoke and it was so hard to believe that it was mikayle bletchley standing in front of her, speaking those words, yet.. they sounded so sweet. she knew that he couldn't change the way he was acting towards her though. not in front of everyone they knew. someone would know. so, shaking her head, she looked up at him. "you don't know how much i'd love that. but you can't do it when we're in front of everyone. we can't.. not until we- i figure all of this out." she said softly, placing a soft kiss on his lips and combing her fingers through his hair. "i wasn't expecting any of this. so for now, when you see me around.. simply be normal, just not as- horrid." with that, she allowed him to pick her up and her arms once again wrapped around his neck while her lips placed several kisses on the line of his jaw.

((just have them arrive at the hotel or where ever and then i'll skip over in my post ^^))
