Re: Later that night....
She saw it coming, she was surprised he hadn't kissed her earlier than now. And yet, despite knowing, and knowing she should stop it, she just let him kiss her. She wouldn't even let Mike kiss her goodnight on the lips. She could be strong when Greed kept his distance, even when he got snuggly or close.. but how could she resist a kiss? She was only human and she was just greedy for one thing. Her lips parted when his touched hers, her hand resting on the side of his neck, the tips of her fingers in his hair as that quick goodnight kiss got extended..
------------------
It had been a month hadn't it? Something like that since he'd had a taste. Every time something dropped right between them something pulled him to her like glue. Her desire perhaps, his neediness, he just couldn't keep to himself. He wanted all of her to the point it made his head explode sometimes.
Getting Greed to back peddle out of that kiss was near impossible. He hung on, diving for just a little more, a deeper taste.
------------------
Somewhere in the back of Zoe's mind she knew this was a horrible idea. This was the worst idea ever but it was all she wanted. She could shove it away all she wanted but all he had to do was kiss her to unlock it. Her hand slid further in, her arm going around his neck to keep him close as they kissed, those feelings of hers rushing to the surface like a bullet train.
------------------
He could feel that whirl hit his stomach like when you walked off a rollar coaster. Woody with a head full of dizzy, like your feet weren't touching the ground. He kept himself grounded, hanging on with all his strength. He just wanted a little more----
She'd pressed him down against her, it was comfortable being there with a warm body where he liked to be. Humanized or not with her, feelings scrambling around, he wanted more. One taste was never enough and his body would eventually reject it.
------------------
Zoe felt like it was her dream but it was so much better when it was real and she could taste him and touch him. He was warm and it was better than a bite of the most luxurious dessert. Part of her knew what was coming.. he'd get sick, hot, he'd have to leave. She'd remember how wrong this was when that happened and this would end.
So she pulled her lips away from his for a few seconds and then kissed just his bottom lip before kissing his lips softly again, she was slowing it down. She didn't know if that'd buy them an extra minute or not.. but it was like the ice cream. Greed gobbled it fast and it hit his head hard but when he took just tastes..
------------------
He'd nestled right into her, his chest starting to feel like it was going to cave into itself---until she steered him at her pace. Her kisses a little softer, getting him to savor a moment. His exploding heartrate even settled a little, following at her pace so he wouldn't overheat like a damn kettle on a stove.
She was teaching him again to take smaller steps, smaller bites, so he could enjoy something.
------------------
Zoe's own heart felt like it was going to explode, she didn't know what she was doing but she took a page from Greed's book and just felt and didn't think. He'd always said he could do slow but Zoe had yet to see it. Whereas on the dancefloor he led and taught her, here it was the opposite. While it was fun to greedily inhale all at once... it also meant it finished faster.
She liked the feel of his weight on her, he was a big guy but she felt warm and safe. She opened her eyes a little as her lips brushed over his. He had thick long lashes, she'd never noticed before but they were kinda gorgeous. She moved her lips over his again, it was a long kiss broken into several smaller ones to let them breathe. She really hadn't done more than just kiss and snuggle with Greed.. but she found more pleasure in that than actual sex with any other guy she'd been with.
