Daffy had managed to free him of his jacket and tugged him up the stairs – though admittedly he had protested little to either – but the kiss at the top of the stairs was rather trying when it came to his desire not to rush her into anything.
So he didn’t pull back from the kiss, but without breaking off tried to manoeuvre them a few paces over, reaching past her to push open what had to be the bedroom door – or, no, damn it, that was a bathtub – distractedly, Elias tried again with the door on the right and was better rewarded for it. He nudged the door open wider with a foot and pulled her in with him, running his hands along her sides before looking for the fastenings of her dress to get her out of it. “Daffy,” he said, hands slowing before his own keenness could get the better of him. “If you’d rather take things slow –” just say; stop me; it’s alright.
Elias had been patient enough with any prospect of this for long enough, so – he could manage his expectations here, if he had to. Daff had teased him about falling into bed before, and there was nothing about her now to suggest she was especially nervous about this, but – although she had had past heartbreak, and might have quietly done this all before – he imagined there was still a good chance that she hadn’t.
