SOMEONE *holds* M-E *safe* and {WARM} (((OPEN)))

Sterling shrugged. "I think my great grandma just liked the name rather than the story, and just passed it on through the generations. My sister is Persephone Silver III." he said, smiling.

"And my parents don't really like what they do... wish they would have been full out Healers, who are paid a lot more and get a lot more business... but our family's happy the way we are." Sterling said simply.

Sterling heart fluttered in desire. Oh wow. He envied the flower petal more than life itself... desperate for those to be his lips rather than the petal... "Can I pay double admissions?" he asked hopefully, tucking one of his arms around her shoulders.

"Of course they are." Sterling said, chancing a smile.

She kissed him... yes, finally. He put his other arm around her and held her there, unwilling to let her go yet.

[[Sorry I"m kind of in a rush irl lol]]

OOC: Well, can you post more there, puweeze. What is 'irl'???

[[Irl means In Real Life for future reference here's my new and improved post]]

Sterling frowned. Well, they weren't exactly optimistic about it... they would go to work every day with valiant smiles to reassure the kids, but they were old and mature enough to see through them now. They were too afraid to change. Once again, he kept something trivial from Cat. She wasn't quite able to coax such embarrassing family information... yet. "They enjoy it I believe..." he said uncertainly. He hoped she wouldn't press the topic, but she always saw right through him.

Gazing into her sapphire, irresistible eyes, he immediately felt guilty. "I'm sorry, I lied. Forgive me? They hate it, but pretend to like it. But... I don't think I'm one to step in and tell them they need to find a better job you know?" he said, pleading for her to understand. But she would... she always did...

Sterling laced his arms around her neck gently as she kissed him. He rolled gently toward her and pressed himself against her, biting her bottom lip gently as she had been so greedily doing recently... tempting him to do the same... and now he finally could. It send stabs of fire through his body... wonderful, comfortable, electric fire that offered naught but comfort and ecstasy. He wouldn't let her stop... that wasn't allowed...

Sterling blushed a little. He'd never shared his true ambition with anybody except Davina. He smiled at the memory, then felt a pang of regret as he realized a moment later she was no longer breathing to share such tales with... sighing slightly, he went on.

"I've always wanted to be an inventor... you know, invent spells and potions and such. It's so much fun, and I could be in the History of Magic class if I make any significant enough--" he said, then stopped short at his ramblings. "Although that seems a little impractical. I haven't really decided what I will be." he said.

His heart warmed at her unconditional forgiveness.

Sterling widened his mouth into the kiss... he wasn't embarrassed this time, because there was nobody watching them. His leg lifted and wrapped around one of hers. He ran a hand along her back, up and down repeatedly, as if warming it... wanting her to be sure he was there.

"I've already invented some," he said, thinking back on his meeting with Davina again. The first person in Hogwarts he ever talked to... "One of them is a charm spell that makes things unbearably hot to the touch, one of them slaps you across the face and the other makes your hair really frizzy." he said, laughing at the last one. He tried to remember the incantations he had tried so hard in perfecting, but he kept seeing Catalina's beautiful, curious face and all other thoughts melted away.

Sterling tried his best to increase the intensity of the kiss, pushing his mouth further into hers. He moaned slightly, trying to let her know he was enjoying it... more than anything...
