The seats were close, everything here was closer then normal thanks to the cramped quarters of any boat. His hand reached out his index finger lightly caressing her wine stains lips eventually bringing the single head to his own tongue. "Like Vitae every drop can be precsious." He spoke his eyes still upon her his mind utterly caught up in the moment.

The Blood Rose held Aurelio’s gaze, wide with embarrassment, suddenly aware at how close he was.

“F-forgive me... I’m not usually so clumsy..” she whispered. She felt hot, but wasn’t sure if it was being so close to the Doge or the heat of the room. She shifted to remove her jacket, and moved to stand so she could slip it off.

No sooner did the jacket fall from her form did the Doge pull her close and bring her to sitting in his lap.

"I hope you can forgive me but I think this is a better way for our conversation to continue." He had a blush on his face now as one hand caressed her soft skin.

“Um... Tha-that’s fine.” She stammered again, her lightweight coat hea[ed on the floor. Selene became acutely aware of Aurelio’s body beneath and next to her. She pulled the shorter left side of her asymmetrical skirt down a fraction of an inch as she felt perhaps it was too much skin and not at all appropriate for this surprise meeting. On another hand, however, Selene was melting to his gentle touch.

"So tell me what thoughts are running through your mind my sea Lilly we finally have time to have one another without interruption." The Doge spokeand his words were calm and soothing his caress filled with countless years of longing, thoughts of the negotiations were a distant thought.

“I cannot think straight...” she admitted sheepishly, timidly lifting hand to touch his cheek, “I can’t believe it’s really you...”

Her turquoise eyes moved slowly, etching every detail of his face into her mind, “I cannot count how many times I played  the memory of our time together after the incident... Waiting beside the coast for two weeks with only each other’s company. When I started to cry after coming out of delirium the second night, you pulled me outside into the moonlight and we danced on the beach until nearly dawn.”

She blushed her gaze meeting his.

"It was so many nights ago yet to me it feels as if it were yesterday, even now I imagine us back on that beach with nothing but one another." He held her closely as they brought up the past. "I never thought I could know happiness like this again." His hand delicately ran through her hair.

Selene closed her eyes, reveling in the feel of his hand. Her eyes fluttered open after a few moments, to meet his gaze with a dazed gleam in hers.

“I still fantasize about the night... Dancing to no music but the notes in my heart, and laughing in way I had never laughed before nor after... Falling asleep in your arms as dawn shattered the night.”

"Perhaps then I might interest the lady in a dance." He offered with a smile his hand lightly caressing those areas where he could feel her skin.

A shiver of delight ran up Selene’s spine at each caress. She brought her hand to hold his cheek and leaned forward, kissing Aurelio softly on his lips, her eyes barely open to watch his reaction.

It took the Doge no invitation for him to return her tender affection and after savoring every delicate desire he was able to bring them both to a standing position his hands found their place for them to dance to the song in their hearts for the music that played through the speaker vanished from their minds.

Selene smiled and followed his lead, moving gracefully as she was an expert dancer. She almost expected the world to melt away around them and be back on the beach where he had stolen her breath away so long ago.

"Tell me how do you feel in this moment." He asked as the two of them slowly made their way around the room and with some kind of grace his eyes never looked away from hers as they moved

“How am I to find any words to describe it.” She replied with a carefree laugh, “It’s almost like having been transported back in time to a different world that somehow became more beautiful than this one.” She was able to maintain eye contact with him finally as they swept over the room, “What about you? What are you feeling?”

"Words are inadequate, let me show you." With that he brought his lips again to her kissing deeply his grip was tight as he pulled her against his body. He operated in the realm of instincts and simply gave himself over to the deep affection and allowed it to carry him where it would.

Selene melted against the daring captain, parting her lips for him to taste her as he pleased. He hands gripped him for she was certain her legs had already given out from the moment his lips claimed hers in his passion.

He did not break from the kiss not for so much as an instant as his passion only intensified. His hands grew more adventurous then they had been the Night of the Masquerade one running down her leg the other strayed up and down her back. He was losing himself to the moment and a blisshe never thought he would have.

Selene’s body reacted before she could even think of what was happening. She arced her chest forward against Aurelio as his hands wandered over her body. One hand remained braced on his chest while the other traced along his jawline with an inviting touch.

It was not long before his passion brought her against a wall although it was hard to notice given the melodic rocking of the ship the added support allowed his to be ever more adventurous with his desires. His free hand eventually found its way to just under her shirt, not in any Great intrusive way but just to feel the softness of her skin as his lips clung to hers his eyes looking over her as the sailed in to one another's desire.

Selene murmured through the deep kiss as he felt her torso. In her mind she knew she had been pinned between Aurelio and a wall, but her body didn’t care. It was like heaven to share this moment with him, even as much as to let her tongue lick at his lips.

He pulled only slightly from the close lip lock.

"Selene, I hope it is not overly forward, I found resisting you to be an impossible task but being this close to you I almost feel alive again." He spoke his breath brushed against her.

In response, she held one hand over his that was on her side beneath her shirt, “Then let us feel alive.”

Selene watched him, wanting more of his kiss.

He needed no more invitation then that before he again took up her lips with a deep affection his hands grew all the more adventurous taking all that was said as simple encouragement. He began breathing at a rapid pace with warm ties returning to his skin, Selene brought the Blush of life to its forefront.

Selene slid her hand over his shirt, feeling his chest through the garment. She tried to dulol her moans as Aurelio’s touch grew more wanton, but she failed, her mounting desires obvious.

The room shifted and bent around her there was no way to tell if this was the passage of time and passion, some trick brought about by Obfuscate, or her own senses growing lost to the passion she found herself in a room of silk and warmth and his wandering touch tamed only by the growing fire of his kiss.
