For some reason in the course of a few short hours, Owen had learned how to get under the queen’s skin. Unflappable on the docks and refusing his arm had changed to fidgeting and hanging on his every word. Owen liked the seemingly devastating effect he was having and was curious to see how far he could push it. He wanted to keep holding her in that place where she seemed to need him for something. She, for some reason, hadn’t noticed yet that she had a similar effect on him. Though, to be fair, he simply had a better poker face than she.
“I suppose we’re both lucky I exist then.” He joked as she took his arm. He brought her hand close against his side tucking it firmly between his forearm and ribcage. Stepping in time with her, he matched her gait ensuring he didn't take strides too long. They strolled easily together as dusk set in.
Owen gazed down at his companion, that same devilish smile as ever on his lips. “Sure Julianna.” He said testing her name out again sans the formalities. “But it’s still Fleet Commander Hart to you.” He arched his eyebrow playfully indicating his intention to keep her in that reactionary state which emphasized his sway over her. The give and take of his flirting like the ebb and flow of the tides. Just when he got her to rescind the formality he insisted otherwise daring her to defy him. And he hoped she did.
The smell of fruit wafted to Owen as they approached the castle. Though he had been eating all afternoon and into the evening that didn’t stop him from gently guiding Julianna over to one of the bushes. Without letting go of her, he bent to help himself to a strawberry. Pulling the green leaves from the fruit, he considered her proposition much as he had before with an impassive stare. “I don’t know.” He bit into the ripe fruit juice leaking out onto his lips. “Which floor do you occupy?” He asked licking his lips of the strawberry’s syrup that lingered on his mouth.
He gave no indication of whether he would follow up with a request to share her floor. He finished off the rest of the fruit while he awaited her answer. Owen bent to pick another berry, holding it before her lips, just as he had the candy.
Apparently he couldn’t resist reiterating the metaphor of having her eating out of his hand.
