(Warnings!: Sexual Themes ahead! Do Not Read if you are uncomfortable with these themes!)

Few months later...

   Emme didn't know why she had agreed to going to the Gala with Ashe knowing Coriolanus after everything.  Maybe she still had feelings for him and wanted to make him jealous or maybe she had truly gotten over him. She didn't really know but here she was nonetheless standing in front of a mirror brushing her hands down her dress making sure she looked presentable. She head a knock echo throughout her small apartment that she had gotten after being kicked out and took a deep breath and grabbed her purse opening the door to reveal Ashe with a smile on his face. She gave him a sweet genuine smile back.

"You look beautiful.." He said holding out her favorite flower to her. Her smile grew.

"You remembered.." Emme said taking the lily from him. His face reddened a bit.

"I know it's corny but I remember you saying lilies were your favorite." He said.

"It's not corny. It's.. romantic." Emme said pressing a small kiss to his lips. He smiled holding out his arm for her and she gladly accepted it.

  Once they arrived the mansion was bustling with paparazzi, people all glamed up for the event and of course Lucky Flickerman interviewing anyone who caught his eye or that was important. Emme's anxiety flared a bit as a camera flashed before her. Ashe held her hand sensing her anxiety and guided her through the crowd. Once they got to the main hall they got caught up with the friends that they had.

  While talking to Lyssie and Luestres. Emme couldn't help but feel a very heavy weight of being watched. She had a suspicion that Coriolanus had arrived and she turned her head to confirm her suspicions to lock eyes with the blonde man she had once loved (still does) so dearly next to a few senators.

  Emme quickly snapped her gave away trying to focus on the conversation but her mind still somewhere else. How could she still love or care for him after everything? It's not like he had ever truly cared about her just another object for him to possess. He had made that clear when in a conversation with Clemensia and Marcus that he was taking an interest in Livia Cardew.

  Emme eyes almost blew out of her sockets after she had heard that and then seeing it in the tabloid. She couldn't believe that the same girl Coriolanus would complain and rant about how much he hated the' manipulative shrew' his words not hers. Is now the one he's flaunting over.

  Emme was soon snapped out of her thoughts as Ashe held out her hand asking her to dance. She smiled placing her glass of wine on a near by tray and let him lead her to the dance floor not missing the eyes that were burning through her skull. For a moment and only for a moment she had forgotten those eyes in her as she danced with Ashe one of her best friends and now turning into her lover was suddenly interrupted by Evan Ansly one of his Colleagues with an urgent matter with one of his patients.

"I'm sorry that I have to leave like this. I can-" "Ashe it's okay. I understand perfectly! I'm sure I can catch a ride by Lyssie or call Mrs. Figgs." Emme said fully understanding the situation giving him a soft smile of reassurance. Ashe sighed in defeat before pressing a quick but soft kiss against her lips.

"I'll call you later?" Ashe said. Emme gave him a smile nodded giving him one last kiss before he went off with his colleague. Emme went off grabbing another glass of wine. Not noticing the angry possessive eyes on her from across the room.

  Coriolanus's blood was boiling. How Ashes lips collided with hers and the way he looked at her and held her. It was all wrong.

  The night went on as more people danced, conversed, and drank. After an interview Emme had gotten pulled into and conversing with her old and some new fellow class mates and friends she needed a break so when she was alone. She sneaked off to a room that happened to be library that conveniently had a balcony attached to it far from the party for some peace and air. She sat her purse on a table next to a couch and went over to the railing of the balcony taking in a deep breath as she closed her eyes as she relaxed.

  Emme jumped slightly at the sound of door to the library closing and footsteps behind her to lost in the peace. She quickly turned around freezing in her spot as she came face to face with the man she did not want to see.

"I knew you'd be out here.." Coriolanus whispered as he took in her appearance the moon light making her look ethereal.

"What do you want Coriolanus?" Emme asked, a bit frustrated

"I've missed you.." Coriolanus said looking over at Emme.

"Yeah, sure seems like it." Emme scoffed rolling her eyes. "I've heard your flaunting over Livia now."

"Do you really think I'd seek out that Manipulative pathetic shrew? Even if her parents would help me gain access." Coriolanus said bitterly.

  He had thought about it? Yes, but how could he go for someone like her the woman that drove him mad the one Emme had heard him complain about over and over again and especially her not being Emme. Not even close..

Emme looked at him in disbelief and scoffed before trying to leave but Coriolanus was closer grabbing her arm and pulling her into him. Making her and him be chest to chest or well almost.

"Please don't go." He whispered his lightly falling in his face. She pushed off him looking at him with hurt.

"W-why shouldn't I?" She asked him as unwanted tears started to form.

"Because I want you." Coriolanus said looking into her eyes. She knew he was telling the truth of course he was. She was the only one he did that with.

"H-how can I trust you? You killed Sejanus your best friend and Lucy Gray MY best friend. And for what?"

"Why?" Emme asked through tears forming in her eyes. "I loved you.. I trusted you.."

Coriolanus hand came up to her cupping her cheek she flinched slightly. His eyebrows furrowing. Before capturing her lips she pushed him off staring at him with.. what she didn't know whether it was the wine she had been drinking pretty much all night or her feelings still being as strong as they were back in 12. even if it did make her sick to think of him that way still after everything..

  She kissed him as much so without a second thought. He kissed her back immediately bring her body fleshed up against him as he deepened the kiss as her body collided against the cold wall of the balcony. If anyone would came in they would be sheltered. He grabbed her leg and it on his hip as he bunched up her dress. Panties pushed to the side. Neither of you said anything more. Yes, there was a lot to say but nothing could compare to the raw passionate love that had been not fully lost was now renewed. The only sound was from both of your lips. Whether it was from splotchy wet kisses or the pleasure becoming overbearing. You both came undone a short while later.

   After their little rendezvous on the tares both lost in a drunk high. Emme more than Coriolanus. He took Emme's hand before riding in his car back to his apartment. She was already drunk enough and not thinking straight. Her senses once their now complete gone the second his lips met hers she melted once more as her back was pushed against the elevator wall her arms pinned above her and his lips on her neck sucking and biting.

  In a haze of drunken lust the next thing she knew was on her back being pushed against something plush and soft as silk. Her dress was now discarded on the floor along with his shirt and trousers. He continued to kiss and worship her whole body mumbling how much he missed this. How he missed her and her body. How she was his. While he left more dark blue purple spots all over her. Before moving back to her lips and slipping the rest of her garments off as well as his. As she threw her head back as she was brought into an evening more hot steamy evening.
