She was hovering over him. Her palms resting on the soft silken fabric on either side of his head. Legs bent at the knees; pushed into his sides, holding him in place. Aislin didn't know his name, but her iced irises were beginning to know his face. His tanned hide, paling now as soft sea foam green eyes looked up at her. Through her, a bubbly white sheen glazing over them as heavy lids drooped to the sides. Concealing upper portions as chestnut strands trickled around the edges of his worn face. Tickling his flesh as they framed him, outlining his faded eyes.
Her plump pink lips, laden with the ink of reddened stick, curled into a knowing smile. The edges pushed her cheeks up; creating dimples where formerly none had rested. Her eyes sparkled with malicious intent as her right hand rose from the bed; its ruffled sheets. The outline of her fingers crawled across his skin; dancing with the other shadows cast by the flickering flames of nearby candles. Trifectal darks strewn about the room.
Slowly, her fingers fell to the outer rim of the man's visage. The stranger's skin was growing cold against her. Lacquered nails sparkling with a clear sheen. She drew the pointer across the edge of bone; ivory, jutting out against sandy skin. She let it rest; she let them all rest for but a moment, before the appendage trailed back up the side.
Pulling the curtain of hair away from his eyes with her movements. With the lifting of the veil; she saw him again. How he had been before.
"You were weak," Aislin whispered, her voice as smooth as water running over stone. "So very weak..."
