At the Ball

You take her hand in yours once more and guide her outside to the castle garden. The night felt cool and fresh compared to the stuffiness of the castle. The moon was shining and you saw several stars winking at you.

You both walked in silence for a while, just enjoying the feel of the night against your arms.

You look at her, and feel an even stronger desire for her than before. You had to use all of your will to keep from pushing her down on the wet grass and giving her the best night she ever had.

She shivered, and you wrap your arms around her without a thought. She does not resist your touch, but sighs contently when you do so.
