[ He pulls away and she whimpers, but soon it's evident what he's doing, and she straightens to walk around the bed to the place where he has gotten seated. She clambers up onto the bed, walking on her knees over to him, and straddles his lap, sliding down into it. Without use of her hands she is dependent on him to line himself up for penetration, but this doesn't keep her from writhing into position as best she can. She's breathing heavily, shuddering now with need, and whimpers and bites his ear lobe. ]
[He's as needy as she is, as greedy, breathing heavily now. He adjusts his own position with one hand as he turns his face to try to catch her mouth for a hungry kiss.
A moment later, it feels like he's in the right place. He shifts his hips to press up into her, and when he does, he reaches around to touch the back of her neck, intending to look into her eyes as it happens.]
[ She presses into the kiss, excited, expectant, and impatient. There are none of her trademark bites this time though; she opens her mouth and takes in his taste, groaning.
And then he pulls back and starts shifting his hips against hers. Her mouth goes slack, and she's at a loss for words as he begins making his way into her. When she's directing things she likes it fast and dirty, but this is exactly why she gave him control. He holds eye contact and she shudders against his hand on her neck, remembering his command to make noise for him. There's nothing she knows better coming from a lover than hearing a desperate, wanting moan of one's name, and she doesn't know he's only ever given her a pseudonym. ]
Ryuuzaki, augh...
[ The moan at the end draws out until he's fully inserted into her, and she settles against him, keeping her chest up so he can get a good view. She tilts her head, her eyes fluttering shut, and she bends in so she can lick his ear. Right now all she wants is to hear his voice. ]
[He's lost eye contact with her for a moment, and he sets his hands on her hips just below her waist. Her mouth at his ear causes him to pant, just once.]
Do you know, I've never done that before.
[He doesn't swear much... maybe because he's never been around people who he would have picked it up from, maybe because the words always feel a little weird in his mouth. She's so hot and tight around him, and there's a different, equally pleasurable feeling when he's deep inside and almost all the way out, about to press in again.]
I like the way you you feel on my cock.
[That's experimental. A thought flits through his head that it may sound ridiculous... most of this kind of talk probably does to anyone overhearing it (it certainly has in surveillance)... but he's not a particularly self-conscious man, and it's not hard to begin to come up with ideas, especially if he tries to stretch outside of his day to day vocabulary.]
[ His momentary distraction is no obstacle; she simply makes eye contact with him again, and when he makes his statement she pumps her hips against him and moans. Just him saying that word fuels the desire she has to hear more. ]
[He positions his head so that he can try to hold her gaze as she pumps up and down, then brings one of his hands to her breast. He grasps her firm pink nipple between his fingertips, where he massages and pinches it.]
You know how it feels: it's hot and wet and you'll be the only interesting thing in the world until I come. You have my complete attention. How much did you want me inside you?
[And it's true: he's not even thinking about what he's not thinking about. He hasn't thought about Darcy once since he's set foot in the room, nor has he paused to wish that he'd somehow been with her, or with anyone else.]
[ She whimpers out a string of sounds, tilting her head a little and pressing her chest harder against his hand, not breaking eye contact. Obviously, yes, she had known that answer, but to hear him say it...it adds to the sensations and the intensity of everything and she can't help but answer the way she does when he asks his question. ]
About as much as I want you to put my tit in your mouth now.
[ Hopefully he's picked up better on the fact that she doesn't want a gentle little nibble when he does so, not like yesterday. ]
[Well, that's not an order, and it's not far from what he wants, either. It takes some angling of his head, and the loss of the eye contact again, and a brief slowing of the motion of their bodies, but it's not too long before her nipple is in his mouth.
He doesn't try to lave her with his tongue again. Instead, he sucks hard, then sets his teeth against her and bites down. She'll let him know if it's too uncomfortable, and hopefully he won't slip.
Maybe it doesn't matter to her what happens to this body in the long run. That's an intriguing, unusual thought -- he's used to the innate conviction that you're in the only one you get -- but he sets it aside.]
[ She cooperates with the slowing of their thrusts so he can center his mouth on her, and hums wantingly when he begins sucking. When he bites down she gives into the impulse to cry out, her head tipping back. ]
Yes— Oh...
[ She had sat down in his lap with her knees folded, but now she extends her feet and plants them on the bed, alongside his hips, and starts pumping her hips harder, faster, leaning her upper weight into him just enough to get the leverage she needs without being able to stabilize herself with her hands. She needs manual stimulation to get off, she knows this, but the sensations of the thrusting and the biting are plenty to bring her pleasure. ]
[There's so much happening that it's hard for him to process all of it, except as "extremely gratifying." How had he waited so long to do this? Because it involves letting someone get extremely close to him, a degree of give-and-take of vulnerability, and back in his usual life, he had always been so careful not to indulge desires in a way that would leave him with an unguarded flank.
The knowledge that the feelings in his body and brain are all chemical doesn't stop them from being effective: invigorating and electric beyond the way they're leading to a release of the building tension. Beyond what he's already told her, he likes her skin under his fingertips and in his mouth, the smell and the taste of her.
When she changes her position, he grasps the nipple that's not in his mouth and pinches it tightly. He makes noises deep in his throat every time she moves, now.]
[ The lack of use of her hands is frustrating, but in a gratifying way—if she could only touch herself she'd surely be climaxing again now, but instead she's forced to concentrate on his pleasure, and she continues to comply with his command to make noise for him, with more 'oh's and 'yes'es and moans. She spreads her knees more widely to change the angle of her hips, and their flesh begins to make wet smacking sounds as she continues pounding against him.
It's the sounds he's making in his throat that really drive her wild; she can't kiss him properly because of how she's moving but she lands a few random swipes of her lips against his forehead. She's been spreading her hands against her bonds, not really on purpose but because of the range of the motions she's making, and the satin suddenly slides against itself and releases her hands. She makes a sound of surprise and grabs him about his shoulder with one arm, once again speeding in her thrusts now that she has leverage. Her other hand goes behind her back to reach down as far as she can and touch his balls, smacking wildly with her fingertips whenever she can reach them between thrusts. ]
[He hadn't wanted to untie her just yet, but the position had been so awkward when he'd bound her hands to begin with that he's not really surprised that the bonds don't hold up to serious strain.
When she reaches down to touch his balls, he gasps, interrupting the rhythm of his heavy breathing, and his eyes slam shut for the moment it takes for him to force them open again. He loses his mouth's grip on her breast and tilts his head up to kiss her throat, then her lips, still ravenous.
He pushes his fingertips between them to reciprocate. Everything is coming at him in a rush... it really can't be long now.]
Still such a naughty girl. Are you going to come for me?
[This one is spontaneous, not calculated, and he doesn't even pause to think about what he's said.]
[ The word comes out high and raspy, both a response to his question and an encouragement of his act. She digs in the nails of the hand at his shoulder, tipping her hips up just slightly to meet his fingertips with her clit. It barely takes any effort on his part to get her to come, not with all the stimulation she's had. His tongue in her mouth and his fingers on her clit are all it takes for her to reach climax within a few moments. She scratches his shoulder and her hips still as she rides out the waves of sensation, a high-pitched moan on her lips. It's almost a scream. She doesn't consider herself a screamer but with the way he rose to her challenges today and the way he took control over the situation—
She doesn't even think about how strange it is for her to hand the reins over to him the way she did. She barely knows him. This kind of power play should be reserved for someone she trusts implicitly. She didn't even get a chance to try it with Church before his disappearance. But this was her desire, the fantasy she wanted to play out, and as she had tested him he had made it clear he was up to this. And she reveled in it, and now she's reaping the benefits.
After the scream she slams their mouths together, beginning to move her hips again, fingering at his balls. It's his turn now. ]
[It's rare that he's not thinking about anything at all: there have even been times when the solution to a case, the moment where everything clicks together, has come to him in a dream. But as Texas shouts and scratches his shoulder and shudders around him, conscious thought and calculation are gone, replaced with pure sensation.
Her orgasm brings him that much closer to his own. When she starts to kiss him again, his arms go around her back. He presses up into her three times in quick succession, each time a little more firmly. The third time, he holds his postion, shudders all over, and moans into her mouth, more flooded with ecstasy than he would ever have assumed possible.
It's different than the previous night, and far better. He clings to her as he rides it out. When it ends, he stares at her for a long moment, then collapses back against the wall, looking stunned.]
[ She can feel him coming inside of her, and his grip on her is ironclad, making the effect of the whole thing on him unquestionable. She lets out a deep groan that seems to come from her core as he holds on to her, and when he collapses back, she leans in, running her hands over his chest and his neck and arms to soothe him. She sees now that with the way she's been biting and sucking at his skin there are a number of marks on his pale skin. Her breathing is heavy, but beginning to slow. ]
You're so hot.
[ Not a view she had of him when they first met, with his dark circles and stooped posture, but his ability to drive her wild with desire has turned her view of him on its head. She leans in to rest her head on his shoulder, kissing lightly at his neck and running her fingers over his throat. ]
I gave you a bunch of hickeys.
[ It's not an apology, but the sentiment is there in her touch. ]
[Meaning: you might be the one who's hot. Or maybe they are together... at least some of this has to be chalked up to individual chemistry.
His breathing is still going back to normal, and he feels incapable of much thought or movement. He's heavy and relaxed and completely sated, pinned under her, not very interested in moving. How had he never understood before how he would take to this?
When she rests her head on his shoulder, he curls his arm and runs his fingers through her silky brown hair, resting his hand against the back of her head.]
I don't mind the hickeys. Even if I did... they'll probably be gone tomorrow.
[ She lets out a pleased sound at the implied compliment, a slight chuckle. She doesn't mind cuddling with him right here, in this position, and she knows he won't protest it either. She refolds her knees, settling her ass into the space between his legs, and lays on his chest. ]
No point in minding them. I'll probably just end up giving you more later.
[ She closes her eyes at the sensation of him running his fingers through her hair. The sex with Wash had been nice, but sex with Ryuuzaki fits her proclivities so well, she decides right here that if she ends up needing to choose it's going to be Ryuuzaki. Not that shes going to volunteer the fact that she arranged to enter into a long-term sexual relationship with Wash. Ryuuzaki has no reason to be jealous. ]
It depends on the variables. With you... I just can't get enough of you.
[Not today, anyway. He arranges his arms around her, then angles his head down to kiss her.
If he projects theoretical liaisons, he can assume that there are times when he might want to leave someone after a few minutes of winding down, or times when he might want to stay all night... but those are all new thoughts, new ideas. Is his partner attractive, but irritating? Did it go badly? Conversely, if it went well, how well did it go, how much does his partner suit him, how emotionally invested in her is he?]
[ She hasn't had that many sexual experiences, and until the last two days they'd all been with Church, but she wouldn't have thought of herself as someone who needed a lot of cuddling after an encounter. Cuddling with Church meant something else, and she wouldn't have expected that to extend to sexual experiences with others. Yet she doesn't want to remove herself from Ryuuzaki's presence yet, nor from his touch. And her experience with Wash yesterday had been much the same. ]
Maybe you're right. At least after something that good.
[ She nudges his chin with her fingers, turning his head at the correct angle where he can kiss her where her head rests on his chest. ]
I am. Is there another reason why you'd ask me to begin with?
[He lets her turn his head, then kisses her deeply. There had been some of this, earlier, but most of what had happened between them hadn't really allowed it. These kisses are deeper and more apparently intimate.
For the rest, that's how his mind works. He had kissed her, but the night before, he had been too dazed -- and too tired from holding her up against the wall -- to do much more than that, and then there had been a party to get to. If she's asking, then the thing she's asking about is likely to be the thing she's missing. And since he has nowhere to be and no particular urge to leave her, it's easy to give her what she wants... except when it's more fun not to, which is not the case at the moment.]
I'm not sure whether or not this will continue, but I think it might be better if we were on a first-name basis.
[ Which in itself is an odd thing for her to feel, but now that it's been pointed out, it seems that had lined up with her own desires. In that case it turned out to be perfect. She kisses him, and she sighs contentedly through her nose.
And then he pulls back and shares his real name with her and she looks at him with a strange expression. It has nothing to do with learning he's been using a pseudonym with her, though—it has to do with the intimacy of sharing her own first name. Everyone who knows it also knows the history behind that name, and it meant different things when they used it—the sly way York had said it, or the smug way Wyoming had. But with him, none of that would be there. It would just be a name to him, and telling him would be a way to deepen their intimacy, and he's already shown good faith in sharing his. So she can't deny him this. Not after he shared his so willingly.
She swallows, and her expression shifts. She goes from looking nonplussed to something more open and relaxed. ]
Mine's Allison. No one ever calls me that, though. [ She runs her fingers lightly over his lips, looking thoughtful. She can't decide whether she wants to hear that from him during sex or if she'd prefer to remain Tex. ]
[He sees what seems like hesitation flicker over her face, before she relaxes and gives him a name. There have probably been too many people from her world around for this to be a lie, but it doesn't really matter that much if it is -- it isn't a danger to him. He goes through life not telling the whole truth to people and assuming that they may also not be telling the whole truth. The important thing is determining when that's significant. She could be Sadie or Jane or Rosa or Michiko and it wouldn't ultimately affect their chemistry.
It's interesting that she wants to please him. It seems sentimental, for what he knows of her and for the way they've come together, but he likes it.
He tries to take her fingertips into his mouth.]
I'll call you whatever you want me to call you, Allison.
[ She slips her fingers in his mouth after he speaks, rubbing lightly at his tongue with the end of her middle finger. She likes the sound of that in his accent. It makes it mean something different. ]
Tex or Allison. Either's fine.
[ She tilts her head, back to resting it on his shoulder. Her breathing is now normal, slow and even, and she closes her eyes, relaxing. She moves her hand from his mouth to his cheek, and then to his scalp, feeling around for the texture of his skin and hair. She thinks for a moment about how she'd gotten on Church's case for letting his hair grow, how she'd harassed him into getting his hair cut, when it hadn't even been as long as Daniel's is now.
But that's just how things were between her and Church—always combative, always with some issue going on between them. The first time she'd had sex with Church in his human body here in this universe she'd immediately kicked him out of the room, barely even spending any time cuddling with him like this. She'd had her reasons for doing that. But maybe, maybe she shouldn't have. She caresses the side of Daniel's head. Why is she even thinking about Church? Church is gone. He's gone a second time from this universe, and she's left here, and she's making the most of it, enjoying her body's pleasures with no guilt, no guilt at all. She doesn't need to remain loyal to Church when they'd never even solidified what their relationship was.
This line of thought is frustrating her. She thumbs at Daniel's cheek, then sits up and looks into his face. Church isn't here. Church isn't here. ]
Were you planning to go back and work after this?
[ It's going to be immediately apparent what she hopes his answer is; while she waits for him to answer her hand is traveling downward between them and she starts playing with the hair below his navel. ]
[He'll call her Allison in private until she tells him not to. Her hand in his hair, rubbing his scalp and his cheek... that feels very intimate. As her hand moves, there are times he leans into her fingers.
When she asks whether not he's going back to work, he looks at her, eyebrows slightly raised. It widens his eyes and gives him a speculative expression.]
Oh, as it happens, I'm busy with you... I really hadn't made any other plans.
You wanted me to go...?
[That last bit is teasing. It's clear she doesn't want him to leave by the way she's touching his groin.]
I think it's going to be a while before I'm good for anything else, though. Is it possible for us to have dinner in here?
[The natives may be friendly and hospitable, but they haven't necessarily offered room service. What a shame.
More seriously, he doesn't want to leave. There's a temptation to spin this encounter out for hours.]
[ That's a complete lie. She very much meant to wear him out, and her tone is teasing and light, expressed with a smirk. ]
We can go find dinner and bring it back.
[ Strangely, the idea of sitting and having dinner with him is much more intimate than having sex was. A meal means they will be staying in each other's company; they'll probably converse. They'll talk about themselves. It'll be like a date.
Weird.
She withdraws a bit, hooking her feet on the inside of his thighs and scooting back. ]
I have a towel we can use to clean up.
[ But she doesn't pull away any further, wondering whether he's quite ready to disengage. She's not going to lean in to kiss him but if he pulls her back, she won't protest. ]
no subject
What do you want to see?
no subject
Everything.
[He's as needy as she is, as greedy, breathing heavily now. He adjusts his own position with one hand as he turns his face to try to catch her mouth for a hungry kiss.
A moment later, it feels like he's in the right place. He shifts his hips to press up into her, and when he does, he reaches around to touch the back of her neck, intending to look into her eyes as it happens.]
no subject
And then he pulls back and starts shifting his hips against hers. Her mouth goes slack, and she's at a loss for words as he begins making his way into her.

Talk dirty to me?
no subject
[He's lost eye contact with her for a moment, and he sets his hands on her hips just below her waist. Her mouth at his ear causes him to pant, just once.]
Do you know, I've never done that before.
[He doesn't swear much... maybe because he's never been around people who he would have picked it up from, maybe because the words always feel a little weird in his mouth. She's so hot and tight around him, and there's a different, equally pleasurable feeling when he's deep inside and almost all the way out, about to press in again.]
I like the way you you feel on my cock.
[That's experimental. A thought flits through his head that it may sound ridiculous... most of this kind of talk probably does to anyone overhearing it (it certainly has in surveillance)... but he's not a particularly self-conscious man, and it's not hard to begin to come up with ideas, especially if he tries to stretch outside of his day to day vocabulary.]

It's interesting that she wants to please him. It seems sentimental, for what he knows of her and for the way they've come together, but he likes it.
He tries to take her fingertips into his mouth.]
I'll call you whatever you want me to call you, Allison.

Tex or Allison. Either's fine.
[ She tilts her head, back to resting it on his shoulder. Her breathing is now normal, slow and even, and she closes her eyes, relaxing. She moves her hand from his mouth to his cheek, and then to his scalp, feeling around for the texture of his skin and hair. She thinks for a moment about how she'd gotten on Church's case for letting his hair grow, how she'd harassed him into getting his hair cut, when it hadn't even been as long as Daniel's is now.
But that's just how things were between her and Church—always combative, always with some issue going on between them. The first time she'd had sex with Church in his human body here in this universe she'd immediately kicked him out of the room, barely even spending any time cuddling with him like this. She'd had her reasons for doing that. But maybe, maybe she shouldn't have. She caresses the side of Daniel's head. Why is she even thinking about Church? Church is gone. He's gone a second time from this universe, and she's left here, and she's making the most of it, enjoying her body's pleasures with no guilt, no guilt at all. She doesn't need to remain loyal to Church when they'd never even solidified what their relationship was.
This line of thought is frustrating her. She thumbs at Daniel's cheek, then sits up and looks into his face. Church isn't here. Church isn't here. ]
Were you planning to go back and work after this?
[ It's going to be immediately apparent what she hopes his answer is; while she waits for him to answer her hand is traveling downward between them and she starts playing with the hair below his navel. ]
no subject
When she asks whether not he's going back to work, he looks at her, eyebrows slightly raised. It widens his eyes and gives him a speculative expression.]
Oh, as it happens, I'm busy with you... I really hadn't made any other plans.
You wanted me to go...?
[That last bit is teasing. It's clear she doesn't want him to leave by the way she's touching his groin.]
I think it's going to be a while before I'm good for anything else, though. Is it possible for us to have dinner in here?
[The natives may be friendly and hospitable, but they haven't necessarily offered room service. What a shame.
More seriously, he doesn't want to leave. There's a temptation to spin this encounter out for hours.]
no subject
[ That's a complete lie. She very much meant to wear him out, and her tone is teasing and light, expressed with a smirk. ]
We can go find dinner and bring it back.
[ Strangely, the idea of sitting and having dinner with him is much more intimate than having sex was. A meal means they will be staying in each other's company; they'll probably converse. They'll talk about themselves. It'll be like a date.
Weird.
She withdraws a bit, hooking her feet on the inside of his thighs and scooting back. ]
I have a towel we can use to clean up.
[ But she doesn't pull away any further, wondering whether he's quite ready to disengage. She's not going to lean in to kiss him but if he pulls her back, she won't protest. ]
