Paris, France

Narcissa didn't stop Lucius from leaning in closer. She sucked playfully on his bottom lip for a few moments and smiled when she felt his tongue along her lip, teasing him for a few moments by letting her hand move back further into his hair until she finally opened her mouth, granting him what he had asked for. Her other free hand came to rest on his chest lightly as she adjusted herself so that she was even closer to him. That was all she wanted to be, close to him. That's all she really expected.

Lucius smiled against Narcissa's lips, enjoying the feel of the kiss as he moved his hand down to lightly cup her face. He slipped his tongue between her lips as soon as she parted them, a soft content sound escaping his lips as they deepened the kiss. He knew that it wasn't truly his choice to marry Narcissa-- honestly, he'd rather he never got married at all, but if he had to then Narcissa was definitely the perfect woman that he would actually be able to live with for the rest of his life.

Narcissa moved closer as she felt Lucius cup her face. His tongue slipped past her parted lips, deepening the kiss. She smiled as she heard the soft sound escape from his lips, letting out a faint sigh. She let Lucius have control, knowing that he would likely have it no other way. She needed to keep her place in mind. That was the whole point of this. There didn't need to be any love or emotions. It was almost all politics and strategizing. That was what marriage turned out to be in their world. Marriage, relationships, all of it was from a strategic standpoint.

Lucius gently squeezed Narcissa's knee, before breaking apart from the kiss and dropping his lips to her jaw, trailing a slow line of kisses down towards her neck. He sucked lightly at the soft skin, wanting to make sure Narcissa felt comfortable before he even considering suggesting that they move into the bedroom. This was something he had wanted for a long time, and he had no intentions of messing everything up now that he and Narcissa had a real moment alone.

Narcissa gasped quietly as she felt him sucking on the skin of her neck. It was unexpected, but it only surprised her momentarily before she gathered her bearings. She had forgotten exactly how sensitive her neck actually was until now. She leaned slightly to the side, giving Lucius better access. She knew where this was headed, and as frightened as she was, she knew to do what she had to.

After placing a few more kisses to Narcissa's neck, Lucius pulled back and covered her hand with his, intertwining their fingers as his grey eyes looked into hers. "Maybe we should move somewhere more comfortable," he suggested, his eyes never leaving Narcissa's as he waited for a reaction from his girlfriend.

Narcissa looked at Lucius when he pulled back, puzzled as to why he stopped. She looked down momentarily as he entwined their fingers together, but looked back, catching his gaze. His grey eyes bored into her own, but she kept his gaze, hoping that she didn't betray any of her thoughts. She nodded, unsure at first, but then reassured herself, making sure that she couldn't go back. "I think we should," she said quietly. As much as she wanted this, she still couldn't quell the slight bit of fear that accompanied her desire.

Lucius smiled as he stood up from the couch, then led Narcissa into the bedroom, guiding her into the bed with him as he kept their fingers intertwined. The key was to keep things slow and relaxed. Narcissa wasn't just some girl. She was supposed to be his future wife, and he had to get things right with her. He cupped her cheek as he leaned in for another kiss, remaining in the sitting position to keep from making this feel like some sort of business deal. He wanted to make sure it was enjoyable for the both of them, and for that to happen everything would have to feel natural and reciprocated first.

Narcissa followed Lucius to his bedroom, joining him on the bed. It was darker in here, which was better for her nerves. Narcissa leaned into his touch and his kiss, repeating their actions on the couch. She smiled playfully, letting her hand move up into his hair.She knew that she had to do this. It was just a given. She continued what they were doing on the couch, sucking playfully on his bottom lip.

Lucius continued to deepen the kiss as he moved his hand that was cupping her cheek to gently tangle itself in her hair. He then moved his other hand to her waist, carefully pulling her closer to him on the bed. He hoped she wasn't going to freak out over anything he did because Lucius really was not in the mood to have her pull away from him or ask him to stop. He did stay rather gentle with her as he kissed her though, hoping to not freak her out so everything would go smoothly.

Narcissa didn't notice Lucius' hand move down until he had already begun pulling her closer. At first, she automatically tensed up, an involuntary reaction when anyone touched her like that. Soon though, she eased into his touch, relaxing, letting him both deepen the kiss and move her closer. She broke their kiss only to lay gentle kisses along his jawline before moving down to his neck, reciprocating what he had done to her on the couch. She hoped that by doing this he wouldn't have any doubts about her willingness. She smiled against his skin for a moment before she sucked lightly on his neck. "An eye for an eye." she murmured.

Lucius tilted his head to the side, arching his neck as he felt Narcissa sucking lightly at the sensitive skin. He chuckled at her comment and rested a hand on her hip, before slowly slipping it beneath her shirt, tracing gentle patterns along her skin as he tried to remind himself to keep patient and take everything at a slow and relaxed pace.

Narcissa gasped when she felt Lucius's cool hands on her skin but relaxed into his touch, returning to his neck. She sucked a little harder before she stopped and began to kiss her way back up to his lips, toying with the edge of Lucius's shirt as she went. She broke their kiss and leaned up to his ear. "Go on," she breathed, "it's alright."
