*Rochester stared at her for a moment, indifferent and a little confused.*
"Oh...well...thank you."
*He arched a brow.*
"Were you looking to try both of us at once then?"

*A slightly strangled sound escaped her before she could stop it. She stood up.*
"I'm sorry I said anything," *she said.* "I don't know why I came."

*Rochester caught her by the wrist.*
"There now...no need to be hasty. I wasn't saying no..."
*He gave a lecherous grin.*

*Shadi looked down her arm at him.*
"That's not what I came here for," *she said, trying to keep the quaver out of her voice. Still, the feel of his hand on her skin... It electrified her. She hated herself for being so weak.* "I made a mistake."

*Rochester's dimple deepened.*
"Well..." *he said coyly.*
"If you're on a roll, I'd love to make another one..."
*He tugged her gently towards his lap.*

*She came, but reluctantly.*
"You're really not upset," *she prodded.* "You still... like me?"

*Rochester looked her over wolfishly.*
"What's not to like, darling? Get all you can, in my book."

*Something was so very, very wrong. She couldn't imagine what had happened to make him like this. Had even she been taken in by wishful thinking and romance? It seemed so unlike her. And yet there was a decidedly disappointed cast to the inside of her heart. She'd had him on edge, and while she'd felt a little guilty about the power she'd wielded, she'd reveled in it as well.
To think, everything people said about men was true.*
"You're the expert," *she said.*

"Well..."
*Rochester grinned and shrugged.*
"...yes. But you are such an apt pupil."
*He rolled her onto her back, kissing softly up the fabric of her dress.*
"Or have you forgotten your hours of study?"
((Evil!Rochester is killing me. Real!Rochester is threatening to kill me in my sleep... O.o))

((Do you want to set things right soon?))
"No... I haven't forgotten."
*She turned her head to the side, remembering what it had been like. Before. She felt his lips and hands on her, and there was that familiar tingle, but...
No. This was wrong. Something was wrong. This wasn't what she'd come here for, and no matter how much she loved Rochester, this wasn't the man she knew. And she didn't have to let him do this.*
"No," *she said, sitting up.* "This isn't what I want."

*Rochester stared dumbly for a moment.*
"Isn't...what you want? Are you sure, darling?"
*He got a lecherous grin and slipped his hand under her skirts, drawing it slowly up over her knee.*
"Will I believe that in a few moments?"

*Her body betrayed her; she trembled at his touch.*
"I don't know what you'll believe," *she said.* "You're different."

*Rochester laughed gently.*
"Maybe...but my guess is that you still...appreciate me."
*He leaned in to kiss her.*

*She didn't want to. Appreciate him. But she was almost schooled to; she didn't know what she wanted anymore. She wanted him back the way he was. She wanted away from him. She wanted to flip him over and make him beg for her. Make him love her again.
She turned her head away, gazing absently over his shoulder. The painting. Her own face looked out at her, mocking her. Her smile was cruel and exacting. That wasn't what she remembered. But it was right; she was everything her father had feared. No better than a bitch in the streets. Her eyes focused more closely.*
"Rochester?"

*Rochester's lips planted inviting kisses up her neck.*
"Yes, darling?"
