@sweets1n / laurie & michael

     the heavy clunk of laurie's booted foot gives her presence upstairs away before the distant croon of her singing voice, the same that'd drawn the shape in like a telltale heart when she'd turned her back to him on lampkin lane. the sound stills him again, attention drawn from the picture frame of laurie in his hand. an exhale escapes when he replaces the frame's spot on its shelf with the rusted gun that she'd shot him in the face with, still loaded. an accumulation that's ended in a final gift. an offering.

     the shape retreats into the darkness of the living room when she joins him downstairs, home alight from the lull of early morning snow outside the windows of her town home. the leather of a nearby armchair is cold and soft underneath him as scarred palms push over its fabric, then over splayed thighs. the sound of her singing crescendos as she comes closer to him, ambling and as scarred as he still is. when she notices the gun, he flicks the lamp on beside him, theatrical as ever. the worn fabric of his mask seems to curve upward in a smirk as his head cocks, heavy breathing picking up as imagery of his blood, his brains spattered all over her if she shoots him floods him. the idea is as appealing as the alternative, whatever that'd be.

[ TOUCH ]: while touching roxi's waist, enzo's hand briefly dips beneath the hem of her shirt, skimming briefly across the bare skin of her waist. + @sweets1n

he  follows  the  trail  from  his  office  like  some  cartoon  dog,     lifted  right  off  his  feet  by  the  mouthwatering  scent  curling  through  the  air,     tugging  him  in  like  a  hook  through  the  chest.     that’s  when  he  finds  her  -  standing  barefoot  at  the  stove,     stirring  up  something  that  smells  both  heavenly  and  sinful  all  at  once,     and  looking  good  enough  to  eat  herself.     maybe  this  is  how  he  likes  her  best;     nothing  but  a  t-shirt  and  underwear,     her  brown  hair  twisted  into  a  messy  bun,    hips  swaying  gently  to  the  record  spinning  in  the  other  room.

his  hands  find  her  slowly,    reverently.     his  taller  frame  folding  around  her  from  behind,     tattooed  arms  slipping  around  her  waist  like  he’s  meant  to  live  there,     and  he  is.    his  chin  rests  against  the  soft  curve  of  her  shoulder,     and  he  hums  low  against  her  skin,     matching  the  tune  she  moves  to  -  wild  horses  by  the  sundays,     crackling  warm  and  familiar  like  an  old  love  letter  as  they  dance  to  it  there  in  the  kitchen.

his  lips  find  her  next,     soft  and  slow,     brushing  kisses  down  from  the  shell  of  her  ear  to  the  column  of  her  neck  ;   a  trail  of  heat  in  their  wake.    his  hands   can't  help  but  dip  beneath  the  hem  of  her  shirt,  fingers  cool  and  ringed  and  wandering.     the  warmth  of  her  skin  blooms  beneath  his  touch  like  something  holy.     goosebumps  follow  wherever  he  goes,     rising  in  delicate  shivers  over  the  soft  tan  of  her  belly.    he  touches  her  like  she’s  marble,    carves  her  out  with  aching  patience  -  the  venus  de  milo  with  flour  on  her  cheek.   hips.   ribs.   the  full,    perfect  softness  of  her  chest.

“wild  horses…”        he  murmurs  against  her  jaw,     voice  all  smoke  and  worship,     hands  trailing  back  down  in  reverse  like  he  can’t  bear  to  let  go  just  yet.       “couldn’t  keep  me  away…”

❛ — dex, baby, focus on me. ❜ slow, sweet honey of her voice drifts between each kiss. she can taste his mood on her tongue, feel the thunderous rhythm of his heart beneath her gentle palm. a slow writhe of hips taunting him in a private dance meant for no one else. forehead knocked against his with an aching sort of tenderness and hitch of desperation in her breath. she wants to steal it all away, give him a place to hide inside of her. hanna pulls back, with a reluctant hum and parted lips. eyes darkened, the flimsy bit of a slip pulled up and over her head leaving her bare. his hand drawn up as she takes his thumb between her lips and into her warm mouth. her hips stutter over the swell of denim— ❛ i’m gonna take it away, my angel. just say yes, i’ll take care of you. ❜ ( Hanna Jo for Dex )

fingers  dig  into  the  meat  of  her  thighs,  like  he’s  holding  on  for  balance  or  control.  her  skin’s  soft  —  too  fucking soft  —  like  something  he  shouldn't  be  allowed  to  touch.  her  breath  catches  on  the  edge  of  his  jaw  as  she  moves  in  a  slow  grind.  a  rhythm  to  it  —  a  provocation  that  leaves  his  vision  edged  in  white  and  want.  there's  a  tension  in  him  that  never  learned  how  to  let  go.  born  tight,  wound tighter with time.  lips  close  around  his  thumb, wet  and slow.  the  slip  lies  somewhere  on  the  floor,  like  a  flag  laid  down  in  surrender.  but  his  brain  doesn't  register  it  as  peace.  no,  his  mind  splits  —  fractures  —  want  and  violence  circle  each  other  like  vultures.  it's  a  blur.  the  heat  of  her  skin  only  makes  it  worse,  pressing  against  the  line  where  hunger  tips  into  harm.  she  says  she  can  fix  it  but  before  she  can  say  another  word,  both  hands  wrap  around  the  column  of  her  throat  like  instinct.  thumb  resting  just  beneath  jaw,  right  over  he  thrum  of  her  pulse  and  he  feels  it — fast, alive. it makes his cock harden and his hues darken before he nods his head.  “  let me see you take it.  ”

❝ someone WANTED me to find this . ❞ * [ @sweets1n ] it wasn't rare for you to give your card to those that you had encountered while working a case. an offer and promise that you'd be available for any inquires, questions, or to lend an ear as those still processing the trauma of what they had endured. she was no different. cellphone rang in your pocket, slender fingers reach for flip phone in pocket, opening and placing receiver to your ear. her voice floods through immediately rings through. the urgency of something new. a case previously thought solved with a new added twist. ❝ don't touch anything, i'm on my way there now. ❞ with a request to anderson to provide ride there, never one for driving yourself; often taking the train to work to avoid the unpredictability of the open road. within moments of arriving, feed carried you to her door, knuckles tap against the door with three hard knocks.

re: morbid curiosity, status: accepting. @sweets1n asked: do i look like someone who knows what that means ?

cigarette burns low between his fingers as he drags in the last of it, ember barely holding on. his patience burns out with it. the boys are scattered — frenchie coaxing scraps of information out of drunk wankers, kimiko prowling the room at his shoulder, mm talking to the bouncers, and hughie ... — CHRIST KNOWS. thumb taps a slow ticking rhythm against the edge of the table she's perched so neatly on, EYES DRAGGING OVER HER LIKE HE'S SIZING UP A BET ALREADY HALF-MADE. maybe she doesn't know where he is. or maybe she's just deciding how much trouble the truth's worth. he's a betting man — and if he had to put money on it, he'd say she's not as clueless as she's making out. " come on, love. DON'T YOU PLAY DUMB WITH ME. you and i both know you know what happens here better than the rest of the lot working this place. "

he leans closer. close enough that the smoke on his clothes, the bite of whiskey on his breath and the sweetness of her perfume all bleed together. " i'm lookin' for a man. HARD TO MISS. walks around in some ugly green getup, the daft cunt. YOU'D REMEMBER HIM. " word is he showed up here the night before. didn't exactly keep it civil. spooked a few of the girls, put a couple of blokes on the floor. fingers drum once against the table, then still. she's a pretty thing. no doubt that would've had soldier boy's attention the second he clocked her. how she got out of that mess in one piece, he's unsure. AND TRUTH BE TOLD, HE DOESN'T MUCH CARE. " so either i've got the wrong place — which i don't — or you know exactly who i'm talkin' about. "

at the risk of being a cliché, do you want to get out of here? ( for daeron )

the heat is a physical weight, a thick soup of sweat, sex, and a spot of dipsomania for added measure. his vision is a blur of strobe lights and shifting shadows, but the vibration of the heavy bass line offers a constant grounding pulse felt within his very marrow. this is where he thrives, where he wants to disappear to upon all hours of the day, falling deep into this hollowed out trace where the noise outside is finally louder than the dissonance in his head.

a hand reaches out in search for his glass, but finds a tall drink of water awaiting his palm instead. and that's when his mind blearily catches up with itself, muscling through the fog to make him realize that oh, he had come here with someone. or, perhaps she was someone he had just met tonight? it was difficult for him to say at this point.

regardless of who she was to him, the sudden warmth of her body flush against his own catches him off guard. as she pulls him down to her level and the soft caress of her voice burns the outer shell of his ear, he finds himself leaning into the contact, slender fingers instinctively looping around her waist just above the flair of her hip to steady them both.

a lopsided, boyish grin breaks across his face, the kind that reaches his eyes and softens the weary lines of his features. a nod serves as his answer, perhaps a bit too hasty upon its delivery, followed by the softness of a self deprecating laugh. ❝ give me two minutes to gather my dignity, then i'm all yours. ❞

ִֶ ..𓂃 🥀་ ༘࿐ roxi bites enzo ⸻ @sweets1n .

“hey,     now.”        the  smirk  that  curls  at  his  mouth  is  slow,     indulgent,    like  he’s  savoring  the  sting  she's  left  behind,     letting  it  settle  into  something  warmer.     his  voice  drops,     thick  with  it,    honeyed  and  dangerous  all  at  once.     she  almost  slips  away.    almost.    his  hands  catch  her  at  the  hips  before  she  can,     firm  and  certain,    dragging  her  back  into  his  lap  like  it’s  exactly  where  she  belongs,    because  it  is.     the  movement  pulls  her  close,     too  close,     and  he  doesn’t  bother  hiding  the  way  he  likes  the  way  her  skirt  rides  up  when  she's  settled  back  into  his  lap.     his  grip  tightens  just  enough  to  keep  her  there,    to  make  the  point.        “think  you  can  just  bite  an’  run,     babydoll?”        his  words  brush  against  her  mouth,     barely  there,     a  tease  more  than  anything.     not  a  kiss,     not  yet.     he  lets  the  space  linger,    lets  her  feel  it.        “you  know  that  ain’t  how  it  works,     honey.”        his  thumb  traces  slow  along  her  side,     unhurried,     deliberate,     like  he’s  got  all  the  time  in  the  world  to  remind  her.     the  smile  he  wears  isn’t  just  amused  anymore,     it’s  intent,     sharpened  with  something  deeper,    something  that  promises  he’s  not  letting  her  go  so  easy.
