Lexx let his hand drop slowly from Chel's back to her arm, 'I can't explain it, no matter how hard I try.' He knew he was traveling once again into somewhat sensitive territory. 'I feel light-headed and simply happy in her presence.' Chel shivered, and didn't make any move to stop him, even though her head was immediately telling her it wasn't a good idea to let Lexx do anything like this. He might get the wrong idea.
She was enjoying this.
'I just want to run away.' Lexx briefly entertained a random thought as his fingers brushed along the palm of Chel's hand. 'I want to get as far from this game as possible and take Chel with me.' He caressed her fingers, slipping his fingers casually between hers. 'Would she come with me if I did?'
The previous night's conversation was gone, lost in the moment and filed away as something he would forget she had ever said.
