Will could have easily stood there all afternoon just watching Molly work, the muscles working under her clothes even as she used her magic. He could taste the flavor of it on his tongue, could feel Molly's attraction for him heating up the connection between them, and it would have been so easy to blow off this party, take Molly to his quarters and appreciate her in every way he knew how. But he knew Molly wanted to bond with people here, to make friends, and he wasn't going to take her away from that, no matter what he was feeling.

"I trust you know what I'd rather be doing with you right now," he said, his voice a low, husky whisper as he returned to work himself, taking the sledge hammer to the wall to Molly's right. It wasn't how he'd prefer to expend his excess energy, but it was much better to be here with Molly than trying to socialize with mostly strangers.
