❝been there, done that. it’s not as appealing, or as easy, as you may have heard.❞ laughter catches in his throat; her nails scrapping down his neck leave a trail of electricity in their wake, a mix of pleasure and pain that has him stifling a groan. ❝ha~ but if you keep doing that, maybe i’d be willing to try again. if you insist, of course, since it’d be against one of my principles to disappoint a lady.❞
he’s just about to kiss her again when her words stop him in his tracks. a single eyebrow quirking upward at the remark, a combination of amusement and regret. ❝oh, that’s cruel, isn’t it? i confide in you my secret and you use it against me?❞ he pushes out a chuckle, leaning down once again as if going for another kiss, then he pulls back abruptly, this time slipping out entirely from her arms. he doesn’t move back to his side of the couch, but he’s out of her reach now.
❝and i was going to say: forget the concert; ever done it on top of a skyscraper? but, now,❞ he pauses, shakes his head, clicks his tongue as if he’s disappointed. if only he was better at keeping up the façade—the amusement still shows clearly on his features, downplaying any attempt at sounding serious. but he keeps going despite it. ❝—maybe you don’t deserve either.❞
“Shame. I had been excited about trying something new.” Catching his reaction, she looked at him with a spark, and noted down to herself that apparently nails worked very well if she wanted to get a rise out of him. Smirking, she used her nails again. “Oh? This? I would love to do this and more, but if shower sex isn’t all it is said to be, do you have any other suggestions?”
As swiftly as the kisses had began, they ended, and all she raises an eyebrow at his unexpected departure. Lowering the hands that had been on his neck, she glanced at him steadily, before answering, her amusement obvious on her tone. “All is fair in love and way, darling.” Letting the term of endearment roll on her tongue, she sent him an air kiss.
“Oh?” Now that was interesting. Playful tone noted, she deliberated a couple of seconds before deciding how to continue. A thought floating into her head, she sent him a filthy smile and allowed her tone to turn promising. “What if I promise to make it worth your while? I am splendid company, I assure you.”
