Reinette turned slightly, allowing the palm of one hand to rest against his chest. Her fingers curled slightly. Intimately.
This was a game, she knew. But she could do no less than fully engage in it.
"Did you know I am a great patroness of the arts?" She smiled warmly. "I have taken a great many of them under my care. At some point you must give me a full demonstration of your skill."
