It was going to be an eternity alright. Who knew when or if they would be able to have moments like this at all between now and then. That thought gave him a little jolt and though he enjoyed her company in any capacity, this more intimate alone time else be what he craved and he knew it.

Eugene slid one hand to the back of her neck, fingers tangling gently into the loose hair as the intensity of the moment reached its boiling point. He could feel the thin fabric of her chemise as he held her against him, fingers bunching up the light material to keep him somewhat grounded. Any longer and this would get some kind of embarrassing for him.

Finally after a moment longer than he should have, Eugene found the willpower to pull back, resting his forehead against hers as he tried to catch his breath. He was not the kind of man to take liberties with a woman he cared about, no matter how enthusiastic she might be at the time. "Let's go warm up closer to the fire." He suggested, thinking they needed some space before anything got out of hand.
