Her words and her actions seemed to point to different things, and Emrys didn't know what to think. Was she hinting at some degree of exclusivity? Were they back on the subject of other lovers? Or was this a veiled ask for some degree of legitimacy for their relationship? He had never put himself in a position like this one before, since he typically slept with married women and men, neither of whom were likely clamoring to make things public. He was unfamiliar with this type of dynamic, then, and he didn't know what clues to look for if that was what she wanted. She certainly couldn't be implying (at least not seriously) that anything she was doing physically would be too much. Perhaps she was trying to hint at some particularly deviant sexual behavior, which would be a pleasant surprise, but if she was she had given him next to nothing to go on in order to guess what her game was.

Emrys ran his fingertips along her back as she kissed him. He tried to puzzle out what to say, but it was pointless when he couldn't figure out what she was hinting at. Flirtatious subtlety be damned; he'd have to just come out and ask. "Like what?"
