Marianne closed her eyes at the touch of Raoul's strong hands holding hers. She didn't want her feelings for him to make her lose her head and do something rash.
"I forgive you," she whispered, opening her teary eyes and gazing up into is. "But please - don't do this again. I couldn't bear it."

*Raoul beamed and pulled her to him in an embrace. He whispered into her hair.*
"Never, Never, Never."

Marianne sank into his embrace, her fingers pressing against the fabric of his jacket and her head nestled beneath his chin. He smelled of fine cologne, she realized. She took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of him as if never to forget it.

"What do you wish to do now?"

His words sent a tremor through her. "What do you mean?" she asked, a puzzled look on her face. "Are you talking about the ball? I don't think there's any more dancing, I believe a fight has broken out. You're involved, but let's forget that for the moment."

((Oh yeah... sssh))
*Raoul looked surprised.*
"And I didn't get to dance with you at all!. And you look so lovely in the dress"
*He gazed at her transfixed.*

Marianne blushed and glanced down at her gown. "Thank you," she replied with a shy smile. "I was hoping you'd like it." She had been a little hesitant about wearing the revealing gown, but she had to admit the off-the-shoulder sleeves and dipping neckline looked beautiful.

"I love it!"
*He placed his hands on the off the shoulder parts and stroked gently.*

Marianne shivered at his touch, her heart beginning to thud ever so slightly. "I... like your costume too," she said quickly, trying to concentrate and ignore the feeling of his hands on her.

*Raoul felt himself become quickly distracted from the conversation. He cupped her face in his hands and lowered his lips to hers.*

Adrenaline shot through her as she felt the brush of Raoul's lips on hers - she froze for a moment, then sank into him, her arms moving up to curl around his neck.

((Ah Sues, sluts every one of them bless'um.))
*Raoul pressed himself further into her and loosed the curls at the back of her head so they came loose from her hairstyle.*
"Oh, Marianne."
*He pulled himself down so she was sitting on his lap.*

Marianne gasped at his boldness, but found herself pressing into him. "Raoul..." she murmured his name into his lips.

*Raoul pulled back*
"I think I had better stop before I cannot stop myself."

Part of Marianne's mind felt disappointed, but the other half felt relief. She did not want to go to far and lower Raoul's opinion of her. "You are right," she replied. She was quiet for a moment, then gave Raoul a cheeky smile. "Now that you have ruined my hair, you must help me put it up again."
