Burn

While some would speak of their own relationships as a hot, passionate display of fireworks, their own worked on the premise of a slow burn. It was always there, but not apparent to the untrained eye, lest the pubic cast a freezing gaze of disapproval. Always itching, irritating, simmering and boiling just below the surface. It was like drowning in flames- Choking the air and scorching the back of your throat, leaving you trembling and feverish. Then marking like a hot brand, a searing and painful reminder of all that was sinful, yet leaving you aching for more.

Lips crash together, bodies collide, and limbs tangle in clothes and hair. He hisses softly at the contact long overdue, pressing further against the only person in the darkened room. He fumbles with buttons on the others tan waist coat as he tries to simultaneously shed his own blue overcoat- Hands stop his, pushing him back against the wall.

"You're in a hurry tonight." It comes as a raspy whisper, as if anything louder would suffocate the already thick atmosphere. He doesn't say anything back. He only growls lowly and slams in to the brunette, eliciting a startled gasp.

He is in a hurry- It's been too long, far too long for either of them to stand it anymore. The showy and aloof façade of lies bred to ignore the very real truth dissolves in a dark purgatory, disintegrating into blissful state of carelessness. Things could change in a heartbeat, come crashing down around their ears without hesitation or warning, but for right now it doesn't matter. Now is not the time for hesitation or cautious movements, but for smoldering desire to be let lose.

Why does it continue? For the same reason moths are drawn to flames…

To bathe in light and become one with the glorious heat.

A/N: Alterative title- How much fire imagery can Carolyn fit in to one ficlet?

'Kay. So I was in a slashy mood this weekend. (shrugs) By the way, in case anyone was wondering, Durand totally topped. Listen not to my best friend the Maximilien cosplayer- SHE LIES. It's a long story. XD
