Through the length of her gown, Reinette felt her leg graze the edge of her bed, and it was enough to cause her to lift her mouth slightly from the Doctor's own. It caused the strangest sensations within her, and that gave her pause as well. There was more air now. Breathing should be easier. And yet somehow? It was not.
She was a woman accustomed to control, to command, and to decision. She worked devotedly to gain the power she had over her own life, and there was little that might cause her to release it. She knew her world must seem rather small to to the man whose touch was causing disruptions against her skin. But to her? It was a challenge met.
Yet is was often the challenge met. Her marriage was arranged, but a step Reinette understood. Louis? Yet again, Reinette initiated their involvement. Even the lovers that counted the days after her relationship with Louis concluded, and the Doctor arrived? Agaian, at Reinette's decision.
In the Doctor's arms, Reinette felt the singular sensation of being chosen herself. He came once on accident, yes. But she told herself, he did not have to come back.
And yet, he did.
Her gaze lifted from his mouth to the whole of his features, assuring herself this is what he wanted.
