“ um don’t be a spoil sport. ” he jests back, letting avery lead. “ hm. a devious plan. ” brows slowly raise as avery continues to speak, till a playful look of mischief resides on his visage. “ oh ? what’d you have in mind then ? ” kiernan hums, form looming close enough to where he could reach for the chains of the swing behind avery’s body, arms locking her in place as fingers latch around the icy metal. lips once again descend to give her a brief peck before they flutter to her jaw, leaving faint and fleeting kisses. “ you’re gonna have to lay it out for me. ” one hand pulls itself from the swing to sneak down and rest against her back, fingers pressing into her skin firmly but still retaining a gentleness. he gives a contented sigh. “ i’ve missed you. in more ways then one. ” eyes drink her in, this time though there’s evidence of more than just love and adoration in his gaze. “ desperately. ”
he leans close to her ear now, words soft. “ you have no idea how hard it is to be so close to you in that stupid van. especially when you were asleep. every time i looked at you all i could see was the girl i used to have in my bed every morning. you know you sleep with this look on your face .. and it’s the most beautiful thing, i could have it painted a thousand times and nothing could ever capture it the way it is in my mind. ” digits climb up her back, finger tracing every divot and curve of clothed skin before landing in her hair, where the entangle in her dark strands. “ and when you got mad over dumb things i did, i have to admit i started doing it on purpose, partly because i just wanted you to talk to me, and partly because you’re really attractive when you’re mad. you get really .. worked up. ” a deep chuckle comes from his lips, the sound reverberating in his chest. “ almost reminded me of old times. ” there’s a cocky lilt to his words. “ so tell me princess, what’s on your mind ? ” and then like that, he retracts, arms at his sides and a inquisitive look on his face.
"spoil sport? now come on, who says shit like that." she turned to face him, her face angling up to express her distaste for that specific phrase. reading his face, let out a dry laugh; kiernan knew what he was doing, specifically when it came to avery. "to go to sleep, not with you. you can take a night alone, think of ways to..." her words stopped short leaving her breath getting caught in her throat. "i know what you're doing, it's not going to work." her fingers tighten around the chain, more out of frustration over the effect of his lips lingering by her ear and for a fact avery was weak.
she remains facing, staring into nothing with the warmth radiating from her body inching backwards to press against his chest. a soft hum slips from her lips, unintentionally of course not wanting to give him the satisfaction that what he WAS doing was working and her intentional plan was failing. her body curves against his with the satisfaction of his fingers entangled in her hair but just as she allowed herself to give in completely, retreating from her act to refuse, he disappears along with his movement. she turns to him, a frown in place of where her lips were swelling with the thought of meeting his. he was a dick. "don't tell me that it's a new kink of you to get me worked up so you can turn yourself on?" her fingers leave the swings and wrap around his neck; fingers playing with a few strands as she leans up, lips brushing his briefly. "hmm, what makes you think there's something on my mind." her tone falls into a whisper.
her hands now cup his neck, digits tapping along the skin as she dragged them down along his skin to toy with the collar of his shirt. her lips hover by the curve of his jaw meeting his neck, "nah." her fingers reach back up to tangle up in his hair, jerking his head back with her hold. “you almost got me there, babe.” she smiles at him, raising her eyebrows along with it.
