Neil made a sound of understanding, lips pursed in playful contemplation as he let his gaze sweep over her--even while his breath stuttered at the gentle sweep of her thumbs on the insides of his wrists, finding both electric pleasure and a strange sense of safety in the way she touched him so innocently and yet so intimately. Those little reminders of how close she was, how little defense he had against her were a heady mixture of comfort and excitement that were their own kind of seduction, pulling desire from him like a loose thread from a sweater, unraveling him stitch by stitch.

"So I guess I ought to seduce you more often." he mused with a little smirk, turning his hands up as they swept down along her legs again until he could catch her hands in his. "Might need a primer, though--there's a lot I don't know about seduction."

Playful words, but honest at the same time--he'd never had cause to seduce anyone before, not when he had money to pay for his pleasure and no other woman had ever caught his eye. Love he could profess easily, he felt too much of it not to let it spill free from time to time in looks and touches and now blessed, beautiful words. So much of Regina was a mix of sex and emotion that was still so new to him...seducing her could be a lot of fun if he didn't feel a little shy about it sometimes.
