Ambrose heard her question and started to smile when he felt her hesitation. She was scared...he could sense it. Fear was part of his domain...though that side of his changeling things she didn't know. Still...she didn't want to push him away. He understood and his smile widened a bit. Slowly, he extracted himself and stood and then offered her his hand to help her up. "It's much better then laying on the cold damp ground..." he said said with a grin. "But we have to go back to the Willow first. Will you come with me?" he asks softly, more of his blush darkening his cheeks.

Morgana looked up at him as he stood, her heart sinking for a moment and then it slamming back up in relief as he offered her his hand. Taking it, she stood up and pulled herself closer to him, her grip never faltering on his hand. She smiled faintly, trying to hide her sudden relief that he invited her to go.
"Of course..." she said, letting him lead the way. She wondered why they had to go back to the tree first, but she figured it was for good reason.

Ambrose held her hand with a confident grip as they walked back up the path together towards the Willow...the same path they had just been running down and chasing each other. It had been fun...but this was different. Ambrose led her towards the Willow and just like before, once they got in range, it shook once...and then nothing. Ambrose walked over to its trunk and moved over to a specific knot. "See this?" he says to her with a private grin. "Watch..." He presses on the knot...and a passageway opens up that goes under the Willow. Taking her hand, he leads her down into it and closes it behind them.
They walk for a bit, Ambrose having done this on many occasions that he knew his way easily. Soon, he would climb upstairs and open another door...and climb up. Offering his hand to help her up she would soon be inside what looked like a small house. There was a kitchen nearby, a small table with a couple of chairs, an arm chair and then a door that led to a room with a queen bed, an old dresser and another chair.
"Welcome to my second home."

Morgana let him lead her back towards the willow. When they arrived, she watched him press the knot and the door open up. How long had that been there? She looked about as she let him lead her under the tree and then up into the small dwelling. Morgana gaped and then turned back to him.
"I never would have guessed..." she said, her hand still in his. "Much better than a damp spot on the ground." She smiled and putting her arms around his neck, she pressed against him, her eyes closing as she kissed him, her hands movong into his dark hair, his warmth sending chills down to her feet. Morgana pulled back, nearly out of breath and locked her gaze to his.
"Much better." She panted, returning her lips to his as her pulse raced and the pit of her stomach tied in knots and fluttered.

Ambrose wrapped arms around her waist when she pulled him close and kissed her back, parting her lips with his own and allowing their tongues to dance as they shared this moment. When she broke the kiss a moment and locked eyes with him, she could see the storms in his eyes moving fast, whirling with intensity and excitement.
She leaned in and started kissing him again and it spread wild fire into him, his heart beating rapidly as it felt the burn. He pulled her as close to him as he could, gripping the small of her back and glad that they had decided on this impromptu walk.

Those eyes. Morgana felt herself lost in them more and more each time she looked into them. Feeling his hands on the small of her back, she shuddered, her skin breaking out in gooseflesh despite his warm hands. This was far better than just watching him down the table in the Great Hall. If it was possible to press against him anymore, she wasnt finding it.
Breaking away, her breath was labored as she ran her lips gently along his jaw again, lightly kissing his neck and just under his ear, small whimpering sounds escaping her as she moved along. Her hands found their way to his chest and eventually under his hoodie to his bare waist.

Things seemed to be happening quickly. They had been kissing, their lips melded together as their tongues danced around, and their passion had been growing hot when she began to give into that passion. Before he knew it, she was causing him to shiver slightly with desire as she kissed his neck and made sounds that...well that made his body react faster then it already was. Feeling her hands on his bare waist...and knowing what was coming next, a flash of clarity hit him and his hands reached up and gripped her arms gently but firmly.
"Morgana..." he said huskily, his eyes still closed as he bit his lip and breathed, trying to calm a moment. "Not...not that I don't want this or you or..." He shook his head and looked into her eyes. "I don't want this to be something that you regret or like you said...something that burns out. And I don't want you to think that it's the only thing I want either." He cups her cheek with his hand, stroking it gently with his thumb. "I really like you. I can talk to you and be myself around you with no pretense or anything and I hope that you feel at least a little of the same and understand why I stopped us from going farther..." Part of his stomach twisted when he was done. Either she would agree to an extent...or she would feel hurt or rejected. He didn't want her to feel that way...but he had told her how he felt.
Now he just had to wait and see...

Morgana tensed slightly as Ambrose took hold of her arms, her eyes shocked at first. Her heart seemed to stall at the sudden intervention and then go into a flat spin. Oh what had she done?
Here it comes, the old 'its not you, it's me' line, she thought Just when it was about to make her bolt, she heard his words. Was she hearing him right? It took a moment for her to process just what he was getting at. She felt a little put off, but now it made sense. She managed to find her heartbeat and her breath again and gently rested her head on his chest, her eyes closing as her pulse pounded along with his. She was quiet and slowly jostled around to get her arms free and pulled them into her chest.
"Thank you." She said, nuzzled against him like she may be swept away again.

Ambrose had held his breath for a moment as she seemed to be contemplating. But quietly, slowly, he felt her head against his chest where she could hear his rapidly beating heart. Ambrose put an arm around her waist and one against her head gently, hugging her to him. "Of course..." He stood with her there for a few moments quietly, just comforting her.
After a few minutes, he stroked her hair a moment and spoke softly. "So...I have this bed here. And it is late. Would you at least like to spend the night? We could just...sleep next to each other or...maybe cuddle a bit?" Was he asking too much?

Morgana didn't say anything, she just cuddled into his embrace further and gave a nod against his chest. She was happy that he had intervened, but felt a bit foolish for having been so hasty. She was tired and suddenly a bit chilled from running and rolling around in the damp night air. There was nothing she wanted more than to get warm. It had to be better than her dsrk, dank chambers.
Finally she lifted her head and looked up at him slightly. "I think that sounds like a grand idea." She said, a small and sheepish smile crossing her lips.

Ambrose smiled and lifted hands to cup her cheeks, kissing her lips softly, sweetly. He then took her hand and brought her to the room where he kicked off his shoes and stretched slightly, tossing aside his hoodie and shirt on the dresser. There he was topless, kind of a lean figure, skin a bit pale with scars on his torso. He moved the blanket and looked over at her, the storms in his eyes calming down and whirling a little less. He holds out a hand for her as he leans against the bed and puts a knee on the bed, waiting to see what she does.

Morgana went to the bed and tried to remain a little respectful as he removed his shoes and shirt. Taking off her stocking cap and pulling her jeans off, she donned black boyshorts and a grey cami. She took his hand and climbed onto the bed, her legs feeling the backlash from running. She smiled slightly, not really knowing what to do.
Finally she sat down and put her feet under the blankets, looking directly at Ambrose finally and yawning. She was warmer already just thinking about a decent bed.

Ambrose smiled as he watched her hesitate and then finally climb in under the blanket. He chuckled when she yawned, thinking about just how cute she was. Climbing in wearing his jeans, he moved to lay next to her and on his back, just like when they were outside. He then looked over at her and rubbed her back gently. "All good?" he asked softly in the darkness between them.

Morgana felt him get into bed and her head sunk into the pillow. She sensed her head going deeper towards sleep as he rubbed her back. She sighed audibly and smiled into the darkness. "Yeah." She said, rolling over and putting her arm across him, her head nestled in his shoulder. She had been shivering slightly but his warmth soothed that down almost immediately. She wasnt sure how cold she felt to the touch.
"I am glad we came out here tonight." She said, yawning again. It felt warm, safe and welcoming.

Ambrose smiles and lets out a small yawn himself. "Me too. Thanks for asking me out..." he says softly and kisses her forehead before leaning his head gently against hers and closing his eyes. He had had a great time tonight, not at all expected as he was only looking forward to a talk. What ensued after he wouldn't forget and as they lay there, drifting off to sleep, he last thoughts would be about how they could have more moments like the ones they had tonight...

Morgana made a cooing noise as he spoke, aggreeing with him as her mind started to drift into the darkness of sleep. His breathing matched hers as she lay there, hearing his heartbeat like a lullaby.
She gave one final deep breath as she fell asleep, finally able to do so for the first time on a long time...
