Prompt: "Sleepover" (TLC Mini Ship Weeks 2015)

Pairing: Cress x Thorne

She knows she shouldn't.

His reputation twists like a vine, tangling around too many other hearts. Her own is already in danger of being entwined. She's got a lock around it, the fear of getting hurt too great. But he's a thief and he's found keys that have been hidden away before.

It's those eyes.

Their piercing blue twinkles against the dim light and she catches the challenge dancing within them. She can't look away and he knows it; he's daring her to break the connection. But there's a hunger there that she's never known before, one that's making it impossible to stop staring back.

Then those eyes are slipping shut and so do hers of their own volition. She melts against him like wax, the fire burning too strong to keep them apart any longer.

Her lips are shy at first but he coaxes the confidence out of her slowly, gently - calling up her passion until it bubbles over. Hands tangle in hair and breaths come shorter, quicker, heavier.

Between urgent kisses, he whispers one little word against the hollow of her throat.

"Stay."
