It’s the most amazing thing, how unutterably sweet Percival is. Not just the way his mouth tastes, but the way he seems to see her as a precious thing, to be handled with care. How gentle his heart is, for a knight. There’s fierceness there, she’s seen it roused, but only ever at a wrong done to someone. She clings to his hands and kisses him and kisses him and /kisses/ him, with a slow, spreading warmth.
Percival can’t recall ever having felt quite like this. He holds her tightly, wraps an arm around her, tries to be careful as he tangles his fingers in her hair. Though he doesn’t think he’ll ever tire of her mouth, there’re so many other parts of her he wants to kiss. Starting with the side of her mouth, he works down her neck to her collarbone.
When he begins to move his mouth elsewhere, she trembles slightly. Not in fear, or nerves, but simply because it’s so new, the way the sensation sends tingles over her skin. She can’t help closing her eyes again, tipping her head back as Percival kisses over her throat, hands clenching on his shoulders.
