The two words she wanted to hear more than anything. 'Then stay.' It was hardly a real option. Gardenia knew that. She know the world would be flipped upside down if she remained away. Knew that things would go wrong and be ruined. All she could think of though, all she wanted, was Varian. Gardenia got married for someone else, lived her life as someone else. Was she the perfect proper lady? Or did she want to run naked through the forest on full moons? Gardenia pulled her hair over one shoulder and leaned back to look at Varian, look down between them.
"Yes, we can be different together. Live out dark desires together," though she didn't know what that entailed, the idea of there being more sent a flash of fire in her belly and her muscles clenched at the idea. Chewing on her lip, Gardenia turned a little shy before she slowly untangled herself from Varian, shivering at the loss of him inside her while she stood up, water dripping from her body. Gardenia walked backwards, stepping from the tub, her hands resting on her stomach like she was about to hide herself. Forcing her hands to her sides, she brushed her long black hair over her shoulders while she dripped water all over the floor.
"If you catch me you can do whatever you want to me," Gardenia whispered, a hint of a smile on her lips, before she took one daring look at the door and glanced back at Varian, fully intending to bolt for the outside. Also fully intending to let him catch her. It was a secluded cabin. Find a nice tree to get caught beneath. "Unless you're worried you can't keep up," She drew a finger up along her hip and side before cupping her breast and shifting her stance, like she was presenting a prize.
The second Varian moved to get up, she'd bolt for the door and the games would begin. Gardenia felt her belly clench and she chewed on her bottom lip, excited for the fact that she might not even make it for the door. While it was a sharp contrast to her most recent mood, Gardenia couldn't handle being sad anymore. So, full on into irresponsibly making a creature of the dark chase her to have his way with her was the next best choice.
