"Saint's sake, Kaz.." she smiled, watching as his hand moved to brush against her lips. Inej always adored when he would openly touch her skin-on-skin.

"Are you coming to Wylan's house for dinner tonight?" he whispered, "I would like if you'd come."

"I was going to clean my knives, but that sounds rather nice." she uttered, threading her fingers through Kaz's hair as they sat in her kitchen.

He almost grinned at the touch. "Yes, then?" he asked softly as he snaked his arms around her torso.

She pressed her forehead onto his. "Yeah, I'm coming." her hands slide from his head to his neck, pulling him impossibly closer as she exhaled and closed her eyes.

Kaz moves to pick her up, her legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. He rests his hands on her back, kissing each of her eyelids.

"We have about an hour before we have to go anywhere," he finally smiles. "Can we just sit and talk? Or rather no talking at all? I'll just hold you."

"Let's just lie down," Inej chuckles. "I'm far too overwhelmed with your touch to form a single coherent thought. I'm surprised I'm able to speak at all."

Kaz nudges the door open with his foot, stepping into her bedroom. "Alright, love. No talking.." he pulls her into his arms, running a hand over her long, unbraided hair. There is no way he would ever leave her willingly.
