He might have carried on kissing her to her wrist, upon her forearm, past her shoulder, up her neck. He very well could have. He, feeling her cool skin under his warm mouth, quite wanted to.
In moments like this, one wished to worship a little.

Her wide, shocked eyes reminded him that her hand wasn't, and would never be, his to kiss.

She said, "We can help each other."
He said, "I know."
She said, "We don't have to like it."
Osric made no answer. He already liked it. He hated that he liked it.

Mordaunt waved a hand. "My mark today did make a stabbing attempt—but he only had a spoon."
"A spoon?"
"He was eating yoghurt," said Mordaunt, by way of explanation.
"You— you killed someone while they were eating yoghurt?"
"Yes. It was good yoghurt, too."
"You ate the yoghurt?"
"After he was dead, yes. He'd hardly touched it. What? What's the matter? Have you mistaken me for someone respectable?"
