*Hannibal suppressed his smile.*
"He must be an intriguing fellow indeed to have you so...aflutter."

Oh, my...
*She gave a nervous little laugh*
"Well, some people just leave very strong impressions on you, and it never quite goes away."

*Hannibal took one decisive step forward.*
"And this...man...he...moves you?"
*His brow arched slightly.*

*She had to fight the instinctive urge to take a step back. He's behind bars, he's behind bars, can't reach me...
But wound up meeting his eyes, instead*
"Ah...yes."
*She swallowed*
"And makes me wish that he didn't."
*She blinked. Why had she said that?*

*Hannibal was perfectly still, his eyes burning in hers.*
"And why is that? Are you afraid.. of such intimacy?"

*The gaze sent a shiver straight through her. Hard to look away. He DID have pretty eyes.*
Stupid, stupid, stupid...
"He does scare me. I'm afraid of him and--"
Why are you telling him this?!
"--he draws me in."

*Hannibal didn't seem to move, although he took another step closer.*
"A moth to a flame, eh? I admit..."
*He sighed for a moment, though his gaze did not break from hers.*
"I can see why he would want such a hold over you, as lovely as you are..."

*A blush brought back color to her cheeks, unbidden*
"He doesn't know me."
*She started to say more, having lost some willpower thanks to the magnifying eyes*
SHUTUP!
*She opened her mouth to speak, and closed it again, letting the sentence hang there awkwardly*

*A faint smile curled Hannibal's lips and his dimple began to show.*
"Are you...certain?"

Why must he be so attractive?
"Um...yes. We never really met. I think it's more of me being silly than anything. I don't know what I'd do if I actually met him."
*God, why did her heart have to beat so fast?*

*Hannibal allowed his eyes to wander over her curves, drinking her in with his eyes.*
"Well...I would assume that your pulse would quicken...your breaths to shallow...your lashes to flutter slightly in nervous...anticipation..."
*His eyes returned to hers.*
"But how terrible it would be for you, for surely he would be a dangerous man...for your self control."

Run, run, he knows, he KNOWS...
*But, of course he did. It was Hannibal.
Trying to distract from what she was feeling, she only failed to do so when she raised a hand to brush some hair out of her face and discovered that the hand was trembling. She quickly dropped it back to her side.*
"Dangerous would be the word, sir."

"Ah..."
*Hannibal pursed his lips gently.*
"Are you at such a risk...of falling to temptation?"

*Another blush. Good lord, if she didn't scream or faint or something, she was going to explode.*
"I...don't know. Such an opportunity never, ah, has presented itself."
Why are you still talking to him? Leave!
*But her feet refused to move*

*Hannibal's lips parted gently, as if he didn't want to tell her something...something too secret.*
"And...if it did? Would you..."
*His gaze dropped for a moment to her lips and back.*
"...want to submit? To the temptation."
