[ Nikolai pushes up a little, against her, and moves to smooth her hair back from her face. He smiles back, and lets himself concentrate on her instead of on everything he's been doing for the past week. ]

Did you?

Come here then. I missed you too.

[ He kisses her gently, chastely on her lips, and sighs. He's glad to be back here. Very glad. ]

[ She wraps her arms around him as he moves closer to her, leaning into his hand. He's told her a lot tonight. But it's late and she's not in a mind to process it all, even if it is still on her mind. She needs time to think about it to start thinking of what to do with it.

Besides, she really did miss him. And it feels like a weight off her shoulders to have him back with her.

She leans up into that kiss, closing her eyes and sighing as she kissed him back just as chastely. Just enjoying how good it feels to have him back. ]

[ Nikolai moves his arms around her and holds her, pulling her very gently against him.

He has an awareness of everything about her. The softness of her skin, the way her hair brushes against his hand, the precise curve of her lips, the scent clinging to her that reminds him of the flowers outside, the pressure of her body against his.

It's nice. Probably too nice, but he won't worry about that now. ]

I'm not sorry I woke you. I take that back. This is better than simply falling asleep.

I'm glad you woke me.

[ She curls in against him as he pulls her closer to him, tucking her head under his chin and listening to the sound of his breathing in the silence. This last week the forge was too silent. She was so used to the sound of him working long after she'd fall asleep.

But now she has the sounds of him back. ]

I wanted to see you.

[ She does.

Though it'll be a while before he warms up the forge again. At least six hours, without a doubt.

Resting back, he settles his chin on top of her head, and curls his arm around her waist. ]

I know.

For once I don't think I'll have any argument about sleeping.

I'd hope not since I'm not letting you go right now.

[ She nuzzles in against him, getting more comfortable in his arms as he holds her against him. ]

[ His hand moves up, smoothing idly through her hair. This is comfortable, and pleasant. ]

No, well. As far as I'm concerned, you can stay right there. You won't even have to worry about me building anything explosive, for once.

It was actually kind of strange not to have that around.

This is still better, though. [ Lightly, she traces circles on his back with her fingers, not even really thinking about it. ]

Was it? I'll have to remind you of that the next time you complain I'm working too late.

[ He's smiling down at her, but it's somewhat cut off when he feels her hand on his back like that. It makes his breath hitch and his arm tighten around her, and then he eyes her with some amusement. ]

That tickles.

[ She looks up at him in surprise, as if she was only barely paying attention to what she was doing. ]

What does? This? [ She asks as she traces circles again, this time a little more purposefully. ]

[ This time he laughs, and leans forward to nudge his nose against her cheek. ]

Yes, that. You’re being distracting. Deliberately so, I think.

[ She smiles, but stops as she wraps her arms around him to hug him and presses her cheek against his. ]

Not when I started, but maybe the second time.

[ He shifts a little, sliding his hand up to her chin and tilting it up so that he could kiss her again. Staying close, he smiles again. ]

I didn't say I hated it.

[ She doesn't resist as he tilts her face up, leaning in to kiss him back and sighing as he stops. She smiles a little and starts tracing down his spin. ]

If you say so...

[ Nikolai's smile curves against her lips this time, and he leans into her a little. His arm slides around her, hand moving over her back and staying active. ]

I do. You can consider me distracted.

[ He kisses her again, deepening it this time, and pressing in against her. ]

[ Alina presses against him as he leans in closer to him. Her hands become a little more firm on his back now, less tickling and more feeling him, as she kisses him back. She makes a small sound as he deepens the kiss, sucking gently at his lower lip. ]

[ Nikolai presses gently back against her. His hand settles on her lower back and his eyes close. Feeling her sucking on his lip, he makes a little sound at the back of his throat and tilts his head in against her. He draws her tongue into his mouth and sucks on it, while his arms tighten around her. ]

[ That sends a little thrill through her that makes her shiver in his arms as she holds him close against her. Her hands slide around his shoulders, one moving to cup the back of his head and pull him closer. She kisses him just as deeply, running her tongue against his and holding him to her. ]

[ Feeling that little shiver go through her, he smiles and presses firmly against her. His hand comes up into her hair, smoothing it back from her face and then resting against it. He's leaning slightly on top of her now, chest against hers, and he murmurs when he feels her hand moving. He only separates their lips to take a breath, and then he nudges his nose against the side of hers. ]

Hmm. You really must have missed me. I could get used to this, you know.

[ He separates from her lips and she takes a moment to catch her breath, not leaning away from him as he cradles her in his arms. She punctuates his words with a quick kiss on his lips and nods her head. ]

I did miss you. And I like doing this with you.

[ He'd come in here so tired. Now he's simply unreasonably cheerful, and he's smiling while he brushes his lips against hers again. ]

Do you? Well then, that's lucky. [ His fingers trace a gentle little pattern over her arm. ] Lucky for me.

[ Leaning in, he kisses her again. He nips gently at her lip and then sucks on it, his movements all gentle and sweet. ]

[ Maybe she gets what he meant by how she was being distracting now that he's touching her arm so carefully. And then kissing her so sweetly. He nips at her lip, but even that action is sweet and draws a murmur from him as she presses in to deepen the kiss. She teases his lips with her tongue before sucking gently at his lip. ]

[ He's running his fingers over her arm, and then he brushes his thumb over it too. His other arm moves around her and pulls her closer, while his chest slides against hers and he lets his tongue move against her, following her lead this time. He makes a little sound in the back of his throat and his eyes fall gently shut. ]

[ He touches her arm again and she shivers in his hands as he holds her close. She leans back a little more, letting him settle on her as she kisses him and sucks gently on his tongue. She smiles as he makes a sound and traces her fingers carefully over his spine. ]

[ Nikolai shivers again, and murmurs into her kiss. He sucks on her lip, and strokes her skin so gently. His hands move down onto her body, over her waist, and then finally, he breaks their kiss to look at her. By now, he's leaning partially on top of her, he's out of breath, and his lips are red from all their kissing. He's so aware of her hands on him, and of the rise and fall of her chest beneath him. ]

Alina.

Do you want...? [ A pause. How does he word this? ] I don't want to do anything you aren't ready for.
