She felt herself being carried away in his kisses and his hot breath against her skin, sometimes over top of marks he'd created. She enjoyed the latter the most. When he spoke she couldn't help but realize that he was right.. It didn't soothe her nerves much but it helped to admit it to herself.
Cuddling was new to her. She was enjoying it and the way his fingers wandered so softly along her skin. Though if it wasn't Raze behind her maybe she wouldn't be so content. Without knowing it, the days he'd spent with her had shown her how to slow down and enjoy the smaller things.
Malicia reached down to Raze's wandering hand, to see if she could sneakily capture it and curl her fingers with his. If he allowed it, she'd bring his hand up and rest her cheek against it, quietly for a moment with her eyes still closed. She'd stop to remember exactly how he smelled in the moment, how unusually safe she felt, how warm she was and everything possible about the moment so she wouldn't forget it if she never got it again. There were so many things out of her control. So many things that could happen the next day, or the next moment, to either of them.
Though her thoughts on cuddling were cut short when he asked his question."It depends on many factors," she started, keeping her eyes closed. "I believe the most likely outcome is that I will be pressured to face the Eternal either by or before then." Mostly, it depended on their interactions, though so far the Eternal hadn't crossed any lines. "Ideally I'm not. I plan to sit comfortably in my current position for as long as I can to build up as much as I can before I move on. I'm not in a rush to take the Sith throne, partly because it's not a step I'm taking to lord over the council. I will foster each members growth if they allow me and that does not require the throne. What I really want is to remove the last being that has authority over me."
Half-way through her last few words her datapad buzzed with a new message. The message was from one of her cultists and it was letting her know that the throne room was decorated and ready for the ceremony. She turned her head slightly towards it, but didn't reach for it, instead she asked, "Can... I open my eyes now?"
