His gaze on her was so intense that Aria thought for a brief moment that she was going to be lost in them. Then slowly he tilted his face downwards towards her face as though he was going to kiss her. She had already braced herself for that moment. He was almost there, so close to grazing his lips against hers, his breath smooching the tenderness of her skin, and the tip of his nose crushing against hers. A certain kind of tingle ran through her spine causing her to jolt slowly.
Ramiel's eyes travelled from her eyes down to her chest where she held the blanket. Her hands on the blanket tightened and with his hand, he gently placed it on hers and to her surprise, she didn't resist him. There was only a slight change in her breathing but it was steady, steamy and calm. As she felt his hands on her fist formed hands, it loosened a bit and slowly he pushed it downwards, trying to make it release the blanket from her grip.
