Emmeline nodded silently as she watched him and listened. The hand on her knee added a warmth to her leg as it rested there. She easily allowed for her own hand to be placed against his neck, to feel the warmth of his bare skin then. Her thumb ran gentle circles there, feeling the soft skin and baby fine hairs.

A simple and sweet smile spread on her lips as his own hand was placed onto her neck and she heard his last words before he kissed her. They'd kissed before, plenty of times, but there was something different about this kiss. She didn't pull away quickly and he didn't seem to plan to either but it was still a soft and sensual sort of kiss and unlike any of their kisses before.

She kissed him back. Not with aggression or fervor, but with a sweet sincerity that someone learning as they went could only provide. An almost inaudible sigh left her, perhaps from the tension that had built up to get to that point as she fed into that kiss. He'd have to be the one to break away because all Emmeline knew and wanted in that moment was for the kiss to remain no matter what direction it went in or if it stayed as it was.

Feeding into the kiss with a sensuality one would give their long lost love as they reunited, Charles pulled her closer as his spare hand rested gently against her knee. His eyes closed though his mouth curled into an almost indistinguishable grin as he felt her breath entangle itself in their moment.

He could tell she wanted more - he did too - though he couldn't give it. The way she didn't move away, the willingness of her body bending to his will; it was mesmerising and alluring. She was almost addictive.

A few moments passed and Charles slowly opened his eyes, pulling away from their kiss. He watched lovingly as her lips parted slightly; his own senses coming to.

And this was his next lesson.

"And always leave them wanting more," Charles began quietly as he stood up slowly with a grin, "Because it would make the next time sweeter, my Emmeline."

Charles then walked off into the fog to go about his business. He turned around briefly with a smile before continuing on with his day. He knew she couldn't see him though had hoped she at least felt his smile.

They both had things to do, after all.
