Ascended to Greatness

REXANNA FOR A TIME IT SEEMED TO ME, THAT WE WERE STARLIGHT-TOUCHED. FAILING TO REALIZE THAT WE WERE STARCROSSED, She was glad that he followed her, and that it didn’t take her long to guide him to her room. The look on his face upon entering was enough to bring a smile to her own face as well – but in a different way. She was proud of the things she had done with the room, despite the chaotic result of the rest of it. At least the bedroom was presentable and comfortable looking. And it was quite comfortable with the additions she had made. As she removed her coat, she turned to eye him as he spoke and looked at her – officially looked at her, and she could only smile back at him, a hand raised to lift her hair from her neck to push it all to one side, letting the dark hues settle down her shoulder and her chest. She nodded her head to him but looked at him a bit skeptical in a joking manner. “We’ll see about that.” She hummed to him, a wide grin sparking across her face at the compliment and his confidence in being able to stop. He removed his own jacket, and she also didn’t stop herself from taking all of his torso in – knowing deep down that he wouldn’t look as warm or as cozy as he looked, but she also knew that his mind was the same as it had been that night in the Rathskeller. She moved toward him then, sliding onto the bed and into his arm to lay next to him – her hair cascaded over the shoulder she had laid on when she turned to face him, leaving one side of her neck completely exposed. Her sapphire gaze slipped up to him and she nodded slightly with a soft smile, goosebumps forming on her arms and shoulder in preparation. She knew what was coming, but he didn’t, and that perhaps made it all the more fun and dangerous. Rexanna had always rode that line a bit too tight, but she didn’t mind it in this moment. “The neck would be good.” She offered quietly, an arm raised to rest it over his own shoulder to tangle her fingers in his thick dark hair. THE STARS WERE NEVER ON OUR SIDE.
