"it's horrible," louis confirms before pressing a slow kiss against her jaw. truly, a horrendous fate for a man so young — torn between swollen lips and all the parts of her body that for now remain teasingly hidden beneath thin fabric ( and then of course: those steelblue eyes ). how could he ever behave? not delve into rather scandalous daydreams that seek to be made reality? april's embarassment over the forgotten game only adds to his seemingly impossible quest, the red burning cheeks accentuating the shape of her pretty face, making her seem almost innocent, as if she's not the sweetest succubus he has ever met. "oh, i'm sorry. am i making you uncomfortable?" before she can reply, he removes his hand from her boob ( sadly ) and frames her face instead. slowly brushes back caramel strands of hair, extensively beholding her fine features like she is something precious he isn't willing to share . . . another kiss is then brought to her face, this time placed against her forehead.
louis raises an eyebrow at the mention of his eye colour. "really, huh?" reply lacks a bit of quick-wittedness. this time, it's his turn to be embarassed, although the crimson on his cheeks fails to appear. receiving genuine compliments that aren't directly connected to either his cock or oral techniques hits different . . . nicely, and yet a little uneasily. the lack of words doesn't stay for long, his next question drenched in classic louistic smugness, any evidence of said embarassment quickly obliterated: "does that make me more special?" louis then prepares himself for the upcoming round by basically mirroring april's movements, slightly shifting positions and sitting up a little straighter. "dare," he replies. "give it your best shot, missy." his hand finds hers, keeping it on his chest as slender fingers brush across her knuckles.
@ohaprils
“horribly uncomfortable, can’t you tell?” it’s entirely cheeky, given the way she’s so easily perched atop him and melting into every touch — frankly, louis could spend every conversation with his hand encircling her tit, and she’d never complain. he feels good on her, natural and comfortable, and it’s the sort of intimacy that april can’t allow herself to overthink . . . and then he’s kissing her forehead, something so goddamn delicate that she’s briefly stunned, utterly softened. her lips pull into a gentle pout, channeling her bubbling affection into playful frustration with a knitted brow and her forehead pressed against his. “louis belvedere, you are so—” so handsome, so stupidly charming, so annoyingly clever, so ridiculously intoxicating, “—such a pain in the ass.” yet the smile that envelopes her face is entirely fond, warm, and she cements her point with her own lips pressing a gentle kiss against his temple. “of course, you’re the most special. it's quite frustrating for me.” the giggles that frame each word shouldn’t negate the utter sincerity of them, and the slight hitch in her chest when she realizes she might’ve made him a little shy. these are the things they don’t say, but the lines feel a little blurred tonight.
she takes a thoughtful pause to consider their dare, though the way he encloses his hand over hers pinches her cheeks pink, provoking her to lightly bite down on her bottom lip. normally she’d conjure up the craziest dare possible, anything to test the boundaries of their respective comfort zones — but april realizes that she doesn’t want louis to be too far from her, doesn’t want even a fraction of a second where they’re not mere inches from each other. her gaze, heavy-lidded and fond, fixes on his handsome countenance, smirking as the dare strikes her. “i dare you,” she begins, eyes flashing down to his idyllic mouth, “to kiss me like it’s the last time you’d ever see me. to kiss me like your life depended on it.” it’s an utterly indulgent dare, but the tension is thick, and she’s nothing if not greedy when it comes to louis. “the sort of kiss that people dream about. think you can do that?” lips curve upwards, keen on pushing his buttons, “give me your best shot, mister.”

his bite rewards him with a whimpered louis — not exactly what he was going for, he had hoped for a scream instead, but he will take it. the ego boost from having his name called out on air easily surpasses the possible amusement from an emitted cry caused by a bite she wasn't expecting. "oh no," he replies, voice laced with feigned horror. anew, his hands almost automatically find her frame after she repositions herself, stabilizing her, holding her in place. "trapped under a girl who isn't wearing a bra. poor me, how will i ever recover?" where would he be going? to his apartment, to hang out with himself instead? not when he has better options . . . head leans back, slate blue eyes closed and lips slightly parted as he induldes in the kisses placed along his jawline — soft kisses with an underlying hunger that is both sweet and ecstatic. the paradoxic kind of kiss he never expects from men, only women instead.
"actually, i'm just trying to play truth or dare." right . . . the little game she had started and that had brought them in this rather unfortunate position. a low laugh rumbles in his chest as soon as he feels the plump form of her breast filling his palm, making his timbre seem a little deeper than usual, his intentions a bit more devious. fingers curl around the firm flesh, an appreciating squeeze following immediately after. "someone's horny today," louis notes before starting to gently twist her nipple between thumb and index finger. he isn't planning on fucking her here, getting interrupted by her radio host duties every few minutes. however, another plan is beginning to form in his head. "—it's your turn, i believe." ah yes, the game.
@ohaprils
“god, i know, you must be suffering,” april taunts breathlessly, always keen to trade jabs with him even when a solid percentage of her focus is fixated on all the things she’d like to do to louis — it’s always been this curious game of push and pull with them, perpetually getting under each other’s skin while indulging in the sensual delights of all they could do to each other’s skin, and then some. and when louis brings her attention back to their little game, april’s cheeks pinch bright red with only slight embarrassment that she’s gotten herself so swept up in their intimacy. “fuck, right, truth or dare,” she laughs, sitting up somewhat and trying to maintain some semblance of control . . . given the swell of her lips from their crushing kisses, her flushed cheeks, and slightly unkempt caramel tresses spilling over her shoulders, she imagines she certainly don’t look the part. before he can get too smug, she quirks a brow at him, “somebody’s horny, he says, with his hand on my tit.” like she’s not the one who led him there.
“alright, alright, since someone would clearly rather play a game than get any action,” she trails off playfully, sitting up a little straighter in his lap, though slender digits are still lightly curled at the back of his neck in her endless quest for physical contact with louis, “— you’re back in the hot seat.” her gaze locks on him for a moment, quietly admiring the way he looks when he’s wrapped in her, especially his eyes and their languid warmth. she cracks a small smile, wholly sincere and fond, as her fingertip drifts to trace the outline of his mouth, “your eyes have a little bit of gold in them.” yes, they’re deep blue, almost oceanic, but when she’s this close, gifted with delicious proximity, she can’t help but notice the burning gold amidst the midnight blue. her cheeks burn crimson, ducking her head bashfully. “right, back to the game,” she giggles, smoothing a hand over his chest, “go on, then: truth or dare?”
@cherripicked
"i surely am," he mumbles, breathing against her skin. impossible to behave like a decent human being, quite certainly impossible to love, and yet . . . "—and yet i'm holding you in my arms, keeping you company during work. how dare i." a lazy smile accompanies his words, accentuating the wrinkles around his eyes, making him look a little tired. he is anything but, a night owl at heart, his attention entirely and absolutely focussed on the girl in his lap — how could he be tired? "you—" indeed, he was about to reply with some classic louis-isms, but gets shut up quite effectively. not that he would mind . . . at the end of the day, he is just a guy, isn't he? easily prone to physical touches and female assets. hers, in particular. big hands automatically find her butt, palms possessively cupping both cheeks as they kiss each other as if they are starving, as if they have never kissed each other before.
unfortunately, the kiss ends too soon. tongue licks across his bottom lips to gather the last remnant of her taste, saccharine and peccable, followed by white teeth digging into the swollen flesh as well, his eyes drawn to her lips for a moment before he locks gazes with her again. "i can leave, if that makes you feel better. wouldn't want you to get fired because of how distracting i am." ah, there it is — those louis-isms that make him look like an asshole while he keeps holding her like the sweet boyfriend he definitely isn't ( ? ). he is impossible, and he makes sure she knows. his hands roam her back, up and down again, tenderly clinging round her petite frame. he then leans in, finding the small crook of her neck again, greedily soaking up the familiar warmth of her skin. a lazily hummed "mhm" is all he gives her when being asked for advice. frankly, he doesn't give a single fuck about that dude's dating life. he does, however, give a fuck about april's cleavage, and that's where he practically buries his face. the grip on her back thightens as he bites her breast through the fabric of her shirt.
@ohaprils
that little mhm, so dismissive and resolute, is so quintessentially louis that april can’t even bring herself to be annoyed in the slightest — frankly, with his ravenous touch encompassing her, she’s having difficulty culling any sympathy for their unfortunate caller. when his teeth grazes her breast through the thin fabric of her shirt, her chest unencumbered by any bra as usual, she’s putty in his grasp, and she can’t resist whimpering his name before hanging up the call - she’s confident that she’ll receive some reprimand for this from the station manager come tomorrow, but it’s such a minute concern in the grand scheme of things that she can’t even pretend to care. she keeps a firm grip on the front of his t-shirt when she reaches aside to continue her queued playlist, promising them another few minutes of uninterrupted fun. once she hears jeff buckley’s voice croon over the radio waves, she shifts her focus back to louis - this time, though, she straddles herself on his lap, thighs draped on either side of him and bracketing the boy in place. “for the record,” her voice is low, breathless, “you are not going anywhere.”
her body aches for him, loathed as she is to admit it; there’s not a single inch of skin that doesn’t crave his mouth, his touch, his attention and when she’s gathering him in a lingering, all-consuming kiss, she can’t resist digging her nails into his shoulder, her hips lightly grinding against his and gasping into his mouth at the delicious contact. “fuck, louis,” she sighs, peppering kisses along his jaw, his neck, until her swollen lips are brushing along the shell of his ear, “are you tryin’ to get me fired?” then again, he’s capable of kissing her with a ferocity she’s never known before, catering to the troublesome little minx inside of her that frankly doesn’t care what happens to her job so long as he keeps touching her like that. as her teeth graze at his neck, she guides his hand beneath her flimsy little t-shirt so he can get a proper feel of what he’s been biting at.

“hey, so not to be a nosey nancy or anything, but that silver fox in the corner over there has been very boldly checking you out for the last twenty minutes,” april offers coyly, mustering any semblance of subtlety as she nods at the nearby voyeur. “you could be their long lost relative and they’ve come to offer you millions — or they’re building the courage to ask you for a drink. not a bad wednesday night either way, if you ask me.”
