WHO: Mary Magdalene & Huitzilopitchli
WHEN: Monday night (6th)
WHERE: His building
WHAT: Okay, let's try and make this work...

Mary had told the Aztec she would come back in a few days to see him, and in the end it was four days later that she showed up at his door, red hair loose over her shoulders and her dress a pale blue.

It was a warrior that let her in and if he had any opinion at all about her being there, he didn't let it show. Mary had her suspicions that she wasn't entirely welcome by them again, not after last time.

She sat on the balcony as she waited for Huitzilopitchli, the same balcony she'd been at nights ago when she told him she would sell her soul if he asked. That still held true, she knew. (Mary didn't even know if she could give away her soul or what it would mean for her existence, but she'd do it for the chance to be with Huitzilopitchli.)

Mary leaned in, brushing her cheek against his. "Can I stay here with you tonight?" she asked him quietly.

That took him by surprise and he turned to look at her. He raised on hand to run his fingers along his cheek and frowned. "I want you to, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Rushing wasn't such a good idea."

"Then we won't rush, if that's how you want to do it." She didn't want to wait, but that was how Mary always was. How else could she express her affection and friendship if not through sex? But then maybe that was the whole reason everything fell apart for her. Sex was a large part of who she was, but it complicated things.

"But..." she added after a moment, now worrying about the idea. "You do still want me? You're still attracted to me, aren't you?"

He smiled and looked at her, "Yes. Very much so. My body does not agree with my mind for letting you go, but it is best. I went ahead blindly before. I want to figure out you and me first. I want to try and do it right. My mind and heart need to be level."

Although she tried not to let it show too much, Mary's expression was one of vast relief. She could handle him wanting to wait - she couldn't handle the idea that he no longer wanted her sexually.

"I accept this," Mary said. "We'll move at your speed." She leaned forward the kiss him softly, remembering now that she'd coaxed and tricked him into having sex with her in the first place. Perhaps it was better this time that he got to make the moves then. Mary tried not to think about how much she was going to want him until then.

He returned the kiss passionately, because he only had so much restraint, and wrapped his arms around her to keep her near. He kept the kiss for a long time before he broke it, knowing that any longer and he wouldn't be able to push her away. But he needed to trust her first, and charging in blindly again wouldn't help that.

He took a breath and released her, "probably best you go. Before I change my mind."

Mary moaned against his lips as his sudden show of desire, and it was enough to reassure her that she hadn't been forgotten. Now she wanted him more though and she wanted him now.

Mary felt like her legs had weakened and she was glad to be sitting on the railing when he broke the kiss. She bit her lip and swallowed. She wanted to encourage him on, to drag him close to her, to climb onto his lap and pull her dress up over her thighs, to fuck right there on the balcony.

But instead she dug her nails into her thighs and took a deep breath. "If you say so," Mary said, trying to keep the hungry look from her eyes as much as possible.

He turned away and took a deep breath. He'd missed her more then he'd let himself believe, but he was determined to try and do this right, and to let his old wounds heal a bit first.

He rose and gave himself some distance, "it is for the best Mary."

"I'll be good," Mary said, standing up herself with a smile and raising her hands in surrender. "Look, no hands. I can head home though and remove temptation for both of us."
