"Please, take your shoes off here," Rowan said, gesturing as he closed the door. "I got into the custom a few years ago and enjoyed it, so it stuck." He knew that some people, especially in places where it was common to wear shoes all day, were uncomfortable removing them, and hoped she wouldn't be offended.

Oh how adorable! Normally Shianni would have shied away from such an act of casual comfort, but for Rowan she slid off her low heels and nudged them straight with her toe. "Oh this is so very you," she said, then smiled brightly as her bare feet touched the plush carpet. "Oh, my." She felt as though she could purr, but that certainly was not something she should do.

Rowan smiled at Shianni's reaction, warmed by her obvious appreciation. "Have a seat," he said, gesturing to the couch. He drew his wand to summon the wine and two glasses from the kitchen, making a bit of a show of the ease he felt doing so. He opened the bottle without issue, and the rich purple-red liquid poured gracefully into each glass. He caught one out of midair and bowed slightly as he presented it to Shianni.

Shianni giggled. When did she giggle? Surely that was a childish thing that had always been frowned upon, if not by her mother then by herself. Even more childish, she tucked her legs beneath her as she sat on the couch, settling her floating dress around her as she settled in and took the glass. "I thank you very much, sir. That was quite impressive."

"I can do quite a bit with a wand," he said, taking the other glass and sitting beside her. He didn't realize at first how that could have sounded, and when he did, he chuckled lightly. "You'll think I've been confuddled, but I honestly meant that in the most innocent way possible." And yet that discomfort was assailing him again. He sipped his wine.

"Oh, I am sure you did," Shianni said with a knowing smile. "I would love to see what all you can do with your...wand." Her cheeks flushed and she lowered her eyelashes. She was so unused to saying such things and was unsure just what had come over her to make her wish to say them.

"Would you?" Rowan mused. It was an interesting idea, and at the thought of it, his desire to do something doubled. She was beautiful, and yes, he wanted... something. His gaze dropped to her lips, and in an uncharacteristic moment of impulse, he leaned close and kissed her.

An unexpected thrill raced through Shianni. This was quite possibly the exact opposite of how she had planned on spending the evening, but she could not think of a better way to spend her time. She was incredibly inexperienced and for that she was uncharacteristically unsure in her movements as she returned the kiss.

Rowan was in near raptures, despite Shianni's hesitance. At the heart of it, he was a teacher, and he knew how to kiss, however passionless it had been before tonight. Oh, how it changed things to feel so connected, to want! It was slow, exploratory, but it felt almost unbearably intense.

It didn't take long before Shianni was responding, sliding a hand into Rowan's hair and venturing to explore on her own. She was unable to put her finger on just what was different between this and her previous experience, but soon marked it down to this being more real and feeling so very natural.

Rowan knew he wanted, but beyond being drawn here or there, he wasn't at all sure what to do. His hands searched, and his breaths quickened, even as he cursed not having read about it, or even paid much attention when other people talked about it. "I want to... make love to you," he murmured. But what comes next?

A shiver trickled across Shianni's skin at the soft words. "I have very little experience," she warned, almost shyly. Granted, her first time had been with a rather experienced man, but she was unable to truly learn from only one such lesson. "I would gladly be with you, however."
