The way Pestilence pressed his back against her definitely told about his excitement. Equally excited and delighted to be so close to her beloved once again, Uriel clung to him as tightly as he could, wanting to feel his closeness as completely as she could.

Although she was aware of his excitement, and had got quite some evidence of his impulsive nature in the past, she was still surprised as he picked her up before she could even try to get off the motorbike by herself, carrying her up the stairs.

She allowed him to carry her to his apartment, enjoying the way it felt so secure and right to be held in his arms, but once inside his apartment, she decided to slow him down a bit.

Just a bit, though. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her.

"Now, slow down a bit, handsome," she said, placing a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth. "There's no need to rush; we have time. Haven't you ever heard of 'enjoying the moment?'"

Despite her words, the way she pressed herself against him told a rather different message.
