@sunlightreverie asked: i'm right here when you're ready. - ot3? :D
a thin ribbon of moonlight streaked through the half - ajar floor length drapes, the late hour proffering a sense of comfortable, time - stopping detachment from the world rolling by outside them. the dim - disturbing glint of it cast itself across the bedroom wall, somewhere past the rise of lena's shoulder, where the low effulgence of bedside lamplight caught the blown - dark emerald in her eyes and cast her in its achromatic halo.
half - nestled against alex's side, one arm still slung across her, @reignthem seemed to emanate a nearly inhuman volcanic warmth; the kind of heat that radiated into the core of her bones by little more than her sweltering proximity. a heat that pooled there, settling into her extremities like liquid velvet.
like an anchor against tumultuous waves.
flanked at both sides, she could hardly summon the presence of mind to care how long they'd been there: how much time had passed since they'd stumbled in, the three of them, any immaterial remnants of wine and dinner and conversation abandoned somewhere in the minimalist scope of lena's lavish penthouse kitchen — and forgotten entirely in favor of her stately suite. all that remained in alex's thoughtless focus was the warm wash of fulfillment and reinvigorated need that'd set the sweat - sticky sheen across every bruise kissed into her skin a - bristle; lena and sam, each a perfect tableau of every want still simmering inside; the way her wrist chafed a little, the skin at her pulse point rouged with friction.
( it was almost surprising, really, that a swatch of satin could hold so well. )
pushing back a disarrayed length of hair out of her face, alex let loose a deep - rooted, contented breath. a sound, low in the back of her throat, that resided somewhere between acknowledgement and a nearly - completely spent sigh. " I am going hold you to that, " she promised. " but I'm gonna need a minute. "
