They were maneuvered into each others’ paths by the ulterior motives of others, and this particular outcome was unforeseen.
This is a rare moment in which Irene Adler will (briefly) allow herself to be guided. A warm stirring of curiosity rises in her, wanting to see where Sherlock will go and what will be to come. There are little frissons of sensation wherever they touch, spreading warmly out and away, a feeling almost inexplicable in itself.

Her fingers move up from his cheek to tangle in the dark curls of his hair, and a soft sigh escapes from her mouth to the warm air between them. She’s responding to the intensity of his kiss with her own, a mixture of desire and hunger and so much more.
The tips of her toes curl into the carpet and she raises to the balls of her feet to bring them that much closer. There is no hesitation in her steps as she moves with him, further into the room and the dark, slanted shadows.
