And then...
She offers herself to her savior
The kiss ends, but her face remains close, her eyes staring into yours with deep, powerful longing.
"Will you... will you be with me now, as a man with a woman?" she whispers.
"Liesel, this may not be the time -"
"This may be the only time," she replies. "I might have died moments ago, if not for you. Please, I have never felt this way about anyone... and it is not only gratitude, though of course I am so very grateful to you. All my life, since that terrible day, I have had no one; no one to trust, no one to call friend, no one to love. You can't imagine what it is to find someone like you after so many years of never daring to hope you existed... to feel these desires for someone real when I have only ever felt them in dreams. In some ways, I am still the child I was when the last person called me by name, but I know what men and women do together. I have watched from the shadows, when lovers come into the forest and think they are alone. I would share that with you, Xavier, and I want to be with you here, among the trees."
You cannot help but respond to this lovely young woman, and kiss her again, but of course there is still a practical matter to consider! "The man who attacked you may not have been alone, Liesel," you caution her. "It is dangerous for us to linger here, no matter how much we both may wish to do so."
"You forget - I am still the Vixen," she says with a slight smile. "These woods are my domain. If there were anyone else here, I would know. And if that is not enough, remember that your steed waits just beyond that rise, and he would surely alert us to any danger. We are alone... my love."
Will you yield to caution, or passion?
