"It's beautiful..."

"Where should I put it?" she asked, smiling up at him.

Lucian bent and bowed his head. "Around my neck, tie it and button up the coat," he instructed, his face now close to her with his breath falling against her forehead because of the way he was bent.

She nodded her head in understanding and put the fabric around his neck, her fingers deliberately caressing his neck in the process and he leaned into her caressing with a boyish expression on his handsome face.

"You came all this way from your dressing room to make me do this for you?" she asked as she tied it up like he instructed, as she wasn't familiar with the complicated outfit he wore.

"Hmm. I missed you..." he whispered thickly as his eyes trailed from her eyes to her lips, and it lingered there as her hands paused their movement on his buttons.
