Chapter I part one – Duncan -
Duncan caught me alone leaning at one of these ruined pillars hiding myself from the rest of the camp. Distant fires draw funny patterns in the dark. I sensed him more than I could see him. Was this because of the taint?
It felt like hours just gazing. Finally, he spoke "Are you running away?"
"Just trying to get my head cleared."
I smirked at him.
The dark haired the Warden moved into my direction. "Susana," he said "I understand that you need some time, but…" "It is not time what I need." I whispered.
The space between us became smaller with every pace of him. On the other hand, I didn't move at all. Eventually, he was so near, I could easily touch him. What an exquisite idea.
"You know, what I desire." I told him. Duncan answered hoarsely ". "I think I do."
"Then, for Andrastes Sake, please help me. I'm burning." Goodness, was that really me pleading for his touch?
"Who could deny a lady such a demand?" He muttered and softly touched my chin. Maker, a shiver ran through my spine. I pressed my body to his.
Damn this armour, I wanted to feel Duncan, not the metal of his cuirass. But before I could say anything, he pushed his lips onto mine. I let him enter my mouth and our tongues danced desperately.
