Echoes of time.

Her hands couldn't help but crawl sheepishly on her waist-fingers melting into the grave curves of her smooth body. Silver orbs glinted quietly, tracing over her lips weakly, then slyly shifting up to her eyes.

"You've never been with someone before?"

Out of bravery-stupid courage to fueled her lips to twitch into a low grin, blonde eyebrows twisted together, arched questioningly. Still, the soft tremble of her fingers was enough of a tell that she was lying. "I have."

Deciding that two can tail at this tender game, her pale hands fell down her own body-tightly gripping hers, lacing their fingers together, pulling them lower-noticing the light widen of those eyes-an amused smirk growing painfully slow on her lips.

"You're a terrible liar." She sweetly called out, voice soft as a lullaby. "But since we're getting brave, I'll go easy with you." Her white eyebrows arched lightly. "Wouldn't want to blow your courage out, would I?"

Her stomach twisted, butterflies swinging wildly in her gut, crushing her walls, swirling into her body-making their way up to her face, resting their wings on soft petals-turning her cheeks red as roses.

A fragile, precious whine tugged out from her lips-her mind overwhelmed by the way her long fingers were dipped into that waist, fitting as a glove, as if they were made to hold onto that delicate curve.

Then again, those vivid, empty silver eyes watched her so intensely, burning with their natural coldness-tearing her soul apart bit by bit, fire screaming under those pale hands-carefully placed over hers, pressing her fingers tighter into her skin.

"It's alright." Her velvety voice murmured, raising herself up in one single second-using her inhumane speed, a pair of cold, sly lips tugged close to her ear. She felt them curl terribly slowly into a strong smirk-moistness rubbing with her own skin as they pressed against her inner lobe. "You can touch me everywhere your precious courage allows you to."
