Getting clothing off was definitely the next order of business, but helping too much with that process by, say, pulling his arms out of sleeves meant taking his hands off Phryne. Being skin-to-skin with her was a worthwhile reward, yes, but not taking full advantage of a mostly-naked Phryne writhing against him still felt like too high a price.
Still, once his shirt was off, an actual thought managed to intrude. Was he really going to allow his first time with Phryne to be a desperate-if-satisfying encounter on her couch? When the full space of her bed was so nearby? No. Obscurely, it was important that taking Phryne to bed involved an actual bed.
Fortunately, that was a simple enough matter. He slid his arms around her and supporting her, incidentally encouraging her legs (bare legs, God, soft skin and firm muscle) to wrap around his waist, before picking them both up.
