Claude had taken the glass from her hand and Ellory knew where this would lead to. Her heart was beating fast and she felt flustered. A normal sort of reaction to what their interaction was leading to. It was somewhat exciting and somewhat scary. She liked Claude's touch, because it was a man's touch. If she pondered on it long enough, she'd feel awkward that this man was her cousin. So she blocked these thoughts away and focused on the moment. She could feel awkward in the morning. Then, she and Claude could find some spell or potion that blocked the feelings of awkwardness over bedding one's cousin.

Ellory let Claude lead the way and received his touches. She liked the sensations he caused her, especially after the initial pain, but she was a long way before taking control of her pleasure. It would all come with time. After all, they were supposed to be doing this until death did them apart.
