WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: Christmas Eve [Backdated]
WHERE: Greed's apartment
WHAT: Is there something you forgot to tell me?
WARNING: Christmas blues
When Christmas Eve arrived a few days later, Greed kept his vow and went with Zoe to her family's graves. She knew it creeped him out, death wasn't something he had to deal with permanently so she didn't mind that he opted to wait in the car. She wore a long sleeved white shirt with her jeans, and was bundled up in the scarf he got her with a warm top. Very snuggly and sure to keep her toasty. She had three roses and kissed his cheek before she got out of the car and walked to the plots where her family was. She lay one on each headstone and stepped back to just look. She cried because it was who she was, wiping her tears with the back of her hand as she stood there alone. She'd done it when she was a kid and her parents passed and just a few years ago when her grandmother passed and now she was a woman but being in this spot always made her feel like an abandoned child.
_________________________________
She looked so sullen standing there by herself. He watched from the window, making sure she didn't slip and fall on the ice and snow. He did get out to meet her just at the edge of the cemetery to walk her back to the car. There were some patches of black ice on the pavement. A dead girlfriend before he could give her her Christmas surprise seemed such a waste.
He took her arm leading her back to the car, hugging her close for a moment. She looked like she needed it.
_________________________________
She was grateful for Greed, surprised that he got out of the car. When he hugged her close, she snuggled into him, closing her eyes tight as a few more tears slipped down her cheeks. It wasn't that depressing sad, it was that human sad that just was part of her life, something he couldn't erase. But he made it better.
_________________________________
"Do not soak my coat with your leaking," but he held into her a little tighter. "No being sad." He couldn't deal with that. After a few long moments he picked her feet up off the ground. "Come on bambi eyes, let's go."
_________________________________
She put her arms around his neck and hugged him tight, needing to feel him there with her. She did stop crying but hung on like a monkey when he picked her feet up off the ground, "Thank you.." she said quietly as he'd pack her into the car.
_________________________________
He was glad when it was over. This was a subject too tender for him to touch right now, it just made him mad to think about when she would slip through his fingers one day. If not through his own fault than through Death's grubby little hands. That was one thing greedier than Greed was death itself. Now it was time to speed off but he paused. "Are we done with your family?" He had a feeling Theseus was going to rear his ugly head in somehow.
_________________________________
She leaned over to kiss him for being so supportive and said, "Yes. Wait. No.. um.. well, I baked something for my grandfather but I was just gonna drop it off at his hotel later.. and I know you hate him but I wanted to get something for Jonah since he seemed really mad at us last time." she scrunched up her nose, "I think he might move out at this rate."
_________________________________
"I didn't want to spend Christmas Eve shopping for a Virtue...." Greed would be grumbly about that. Some things just seemed all wrong. "What exactly did you have in mind? A rope so I can hang him with it?"
_________________________________
She laughed, "Not quite. But I was thinking... he's kinda like a mother hen, clucking and fussing over me. He's a bit focused on me and my wellfare... so maybe we can shift it to someone more deserving of it..."
_________________________________
"What the hell is deserving of a Virtue?" They were still dirty in Greed's mind. Like a fungus that kept growing.
_________________________________
She smiled, "For how much love and worrying Jonah has to give, I was thinking of getting him a rescue puppy. They're adorable and a handful and so many good dogs need a home. I figure it'll keep his focus on the puppy, training it, caring for it, and less on condemning us."
_________________________________
"You are not putting a dog in my apartment right now..." they shit and peed all over the place, it would be a mess! He was nervous of his car as it was. Maybe on the way home, but right now was his time with Zoe not with some slobbering mutt that she would fuss over until they got it home to Jonah. Greed suddenly felt left out.
_________________________________
She laughed again, "No, not right now... though we could pick one up and drop it off at the apartment for him. Or we could do it tomorrow. I just think he needs something to love and fuss over. I think he's lonely. But I can do that on my own, you don't have to do it with me. I just thought it might be nice to get both guys out of the way so then we can spend the rest of the holiday together without breaks for other people."
_________________________________
"I have things to do today! That stinky Virtue can come later." Already Jonah was starting to steal his time from her? It was a takeover, he was sure of it. Greed started up the car to head to his apartment which smelled of spruce, the tree on, a beacon for the entire neighborhood just through his living room window.
_________________________________
"Why don't you drop me off at the dog pound and pick me up from the apartment in a couple of hours? I can give the dog to Jonah and drop some stuff off for my grandfather and that way you won't even have to see them." She couldnt give Jonah a christmas gift after Christmas... it would have to be today or tomorrow.
_________________________________
"And let you out of my sight for a few hours?" This was his day with her. Everyone else could have her later when he had to possibly get ganked by Lust to London the day after. This was his time, they were on his watch.
_________________________________
"Then come with me!" she rubbed his thigh, "What's the matter with you? We're gonna to be together all week except for a couple of shifts I have to work and then it'll be New years." she smiled because "I'm just so excited... we get to finally spend these holidays as an actual couple." she grinned and joked, "Unless you have other plans?"
_________________________________
"I dunno. Lust said something about London but I haven't heard from her in days." He took that as a good sign for him to wiggle out of it. "I'm hoping she forgot." He eyed his phone, sliding his thumb across the LED screen. If he had more time to spend where he wanted then he would happily, and happily make Jonah sit through another late night Zoe and Greed get it on session for the night.
_________________________________
That hand left his thigh as if his leg had caught fire, "What? London? When? And when were you planning on telling me?" her mood had instantly soured and she couldn't keep the hurt out of her voice. She'd almost forgotten about Lust..
_________________________________
"We've been busy the past week. It slipped my mind." It wasn't that he wasn't planning on telling her but if it hung over their heads for the rest of the night by bringing it up he'd rather tell her when he had to leave. IF he had to leave. "I faked sick on Halloween, I've been trying to figure out what to say this time." He wanted out of it because he wanted to not only keep Temp the evil Virtue from honing in on his girlfriend, but he wanted to be with Zoe. "I don't know why she's hellbent on London, probably because her Saint fuck toy is up there." Honestly Greed did not want to spend Christmas getting pissed and mad as she flaunted and flirted with someone else. And she would just to put him back in his place.
_________________________________
"Not too busy that you don't tell me that you might be going to another country." she ugh'd and looked crushed as she curled up against the car window, as far from him as she could get. "That's right, I forgot I had joint custody of you. I got you for Halloween so she gets you for Christmas?"
_________________________________
"She gets antsy when she's pissed and I'm off." And he'd been gone for quite a while, proving that he could handle things without her. The more he stayed away, the less he wanted to be near her. She would destroy everything. He also knew if he didn't step up and pacify her at some point, she would hunt him down and it would turn ugly. "I'm not saying I wanted to go for fucks sake. She's been quiet so she's probably found something new to play with."
_________________________________
Right and Lust could not be angered. She just shook her head, "Whatever." she rubbed her arms and said, "Can you please find out when you're going?" it wasn't a matter of if. It was 'when'. She knew it.
_________________________________
"Well that was like being interrupted during sex...what the hell Zoe?" He signed sending Lust one simple text. London? He dreaded hearing from her now because it might ruin his whole night.
_________________________________
Zoe was upset and trying not to be. She wanted to cover it up but no, they were trying to be honest, "I'm upset that you didn't tell me earlier.. I'm upset that I have to share you.. I'm upset that I forgot we aren't a normal couple.." her voice got smaller and trailed off. She leaned her head against the window as Greed would get a text back from Lust Going with Wrath. Will fuck you before I go though, don't worry. New Years bash still in place. there was no way Lust would miss that party, it was decadence to the point of being nasueating. Everything in excess. Perfect for them.
_________________________________
"I didn't want to ruin tonight with it!" He slapped his hands on the steering wheel. It was already putting a damper on his good mood. He threw the phone into the back seat. "She's taking Wrath."
_________________________________
"Ugh, Chance! Have you learned nothing about keeping things from me??" she held her arms and looked out the window, "What were you going to do if she wanted to go tomorrow? Just say 'oh sorry, duty calls, bye'?" she looked at him a little hopeful, "So you don't have to leave?"
_________________________________
"I would have tried to get out of it. And if I couldn't then I would deal with it." He hadn't been aiming to keep anything from her, he'd just been gunning for a nice Christmas.
_________________________________
"Deal with it.. by sleeping with her." it pained her to even think about and she looked at him, "But so are you going? To London? For Christmas or the day after... or whenever? Are you going to see her?" because when he saw her... he changed. And now that they could sleep together... it was crushing her to think of him having sex with Lust, even if it was part of their deal.
_________________________________
"I would deal with it whatever way I needed to. Zoe, shit will go downhill real quick if she sniffs around too long without a scent." Eventually things would get ugly and he needed to have his stories straight if he was to keep shoving Lust off his his trail.
He folded his hands up over the steering wheel with his chin rested on top. "No I'm not going."
_________________________________
"I know..." she said quietly. It was one of those things they had to live with. She reached for his hand, not knowing if he'd let her take it or not so finally just put it on his thigh after he said he wasn't going. "I just forgot... it's been so hard these past few months for us and things finally seem to be going our way... I just... I really liked being first." cause he'd put her before Lust, he treated Zoe like she meant a lot to him.
_________________________________
"You are first...but I can only keep her at bay for so long. And I don't want you to burn because she finds you. For all she knows you're long gone." He took another deep breath, eyes closed as he blurred out what she didn't want to hear. "I won't be here New Year's." He started up the engine and pulled the car out of park.
_________________________________
Her eyes went wide and despite him pulled the car out of park, she tried to open the car door but it was locked. She let out a frustrated noise and looked pissed off as she slumped down in her seat and crossed her arms over her chest. "Drop me off at the dog pound." she bit out. She wasn't first. It had been a nice illusion while it lasted.
_________________________________
"Like hell!" He spat out, speeding up to run a yellow light. Jonah want going to be her comforter now when he'd dropped a bomb. "I don't tell you something you get mad. I tell you, you get mad. Which is it Zoe?" It was too damn confusing to know which direction wa the right one.
_________________________________
"You tell me when you know, not sit on it and drop it on me when it suits you! We are supposed to be a team and right when I start feeling like maybe you understand you run off and do shit on your own again. Keep things from me. Act like I'm stupid. I'm mad you didn't tell me when you knew it first. I'm mad that you have to go. I get it, it's part of the relationship package to you but I won't like it." it was like the night of the company party, she was more protective of him now, of what they had. Lust was a threat.
_________________________________
"I didn't know until now! She'd mentioned it online, but I ignored it hoping she found something else to play with." She ess making him a little crazy. "I'm not keeping shit from you! I wanted tonight and if it was all I wa going to fucking have I didn't want this!" He waved between them. "You pissed off at me."
_________________________________
She looked at him, "That's what I mean. You wanted tonight if that was all you'd have. What were you going to do if you had to go tomorrow? Leave me here with a sorry? Aren't you hearing yourself? Isn't you not wanting me to be mad at you the reason you didn't tell me about Wrath and Poseidon? I told you then and I'll repeat it now, I rather it hurt with you being honest than you ripping gaping holes in our trust." which is what he'd done, he'd repaired some trust with her only to punch a hole in it.
_________________________________
He clenched his jaw not knowing what else he could do that he didn't fuck up. "Why keep berating me if all I'm going to do is fuck up? I wasnt going to go!" and he was going to make damn sure he could wiggle out of it. He slammed on breaks as he swerved into his apartment building parking lot. He needed air now. She was mad he knew she would be, he just wanted this to be then without Lust, without Virtues, without anyone. He got out of the car pretty quickly, sucking in that cold air. Something he didn't need to be doing when he'd just gotten his voice back.
_________________________________
Zoe was mad too but more than that, she was hurt and he couldn't see why. It wasn't even the trust thing as much as it was Lust herself. Things were different now. She wasn't ready to share him. She wanted to live in this little bubble he made for them where it was just them and now that bubble had popped. She let him stamp his feet and get air, she needed some too so got out of the car and started walking away from it, needing some space to breathe and calm down.
_________________________________
He had to catch himself from kicking the tires of his car. Just taking the moment to calm down. He didn't want to share her any more than she wanted to share him. They were getting used to each other again.
He took in another long breath with a little too much cold air in his still tender throat. So that big inhale just threw him into a coughing fit.
_________________________________
She couldn't leave him when he was hurt, she was too soft to do something cruel like that. Before he even finished coughing, she was patting his back and rubbing it soothingly, "You big jerk..." she said quietly. She couldn't even have some time to be mad at him.
_________________________________
He was doubled over until he could breathe again, rubbing his chest. "I know. But I'm a sexy one." He tried to laugh butt it fell into another cough.
_________________________________
She just glared at him and when he coughed again she sighed, "More like a douchey one.." but she put her arm around his middle with a sigh, "Come on... I am not spending Christmas nursing you back to health. We're going inside, getting some tea in you so you can get better and I can go back to being mad. One of these days though, you won't just be able to get me to calm down because you're sick or injured." he pulled that card so often because it unfortunately worked.
_________________________________
He let her help him inside, flipping on the lights, the tree blinding them more than the sun itself with a mound of presents underneath----half of them addressed to himself. The coughing fit had ended but the soreness lingered. He rubbed it gingerly.
_________________________________
The tree had a few gifts under it for him, from her. She had to be strategic about it so he wouldn't rip into them upon sight. She helped him into the kitchen where she took out the kettle and filled it up with water, "Set out the mugs and pick which tea you want." she never did things for him if she could help it. She knew he wasn't invalid so he could do his part.
_________________________________
Greed was obsessed with Earl Grey. He tripped over himself to get to it and pull down the whole box. She would get a bag and he'd get two. He liked it strong. He put down the cups and settled into something more comfortable than a suit. "Tea," he rubbed his throat, "then presents."
_________________________________
She took off her scarf and coat and shoes so she was left in her jeans and long sleeved white shirt. She put the mug with more force than necessary in front of him when he was changed, "Tea. Presents tomorrow on Christmas. Or now, not like you need to consult me on it or anything.." a passive agressive jab at him as she took her mug and walked out of the kitchen to go sit on the sofa and sulk.
_________________________________
Greed gave her the stink eye over the top of his mug. That was just mean. Just for that he would make her wait. Santa was so leaving coal in her stocking.
Padding his way into the living room, he settled Indian style right in front of the tree. He looked at her over his shoulder with his tongue sticking out. She was being a killjoy. "Santa isn't bringing you anything."
_________________________________
"He never does.." she said quietly in response and sipped her tea. She was blue. Her boyfriend lied, again, and he was leaving her, again. Christmases for Zoe were always lonely and sucky and it looked like this year wouldn't be any different.
_________________________________
She was being unreasonably depressed. He started stuffing through the gifts, making a pile beside him until he found the biggest box he could. What was inside was a box at least five times smaller with her gift inside. "I dunno it looks like there's something with your name in it..." He succeed it towards her feet.
_________________________________
She put her tea down, not even wanting that. She curled her knees to her chest and was a little depressed ball in the corner of the sofa. She wasn't mad anymore, she was just... sad. She didn't even look at the box as she put her head on the cushion, just said, "You can have it..."
_________________________________
"I don't think it'll fit me." He rested his chin in the box watching her with acute precision. "What is wrong with you?" He got up and huddled beside her, grabbing her into his arms.
_________________________________
She was a lump but still struggled a little in his arms before sighing and just letting him hold her, "I bought a new dress..." she sounded close to tears like she was talking about someone dying.
_________________________________
"Zoeeee" he whined, her adding an extra syllable to her name as he curled her in tightly. "She's going to know something is up if I bail out again. I don't want her to come after you." Why couldn't she understands this was to help keep her safe. "Unless we move outta New York." But he'd just gotten a new job with promotional potential. "We'll move to Vegas or something." He'd lived there for years before coming here. He'd do it again if it meant keeping her out of Lust's reach. She would mangle Zoe, rip this prize right from his grubby little hands.
_________________________________
She gave a watery laugh and her eyes shone and not just from the tears that threatened to spill, "You're serious, aren't you..." she touched his cheek, kinda moved by that. She knew they wouldn't. But she also knew that he wasn't just saying it.
_________________________________
"As a heart attack." He wasn't grinning or had a special catch, Greed would go to any length and she knew better than to argue that. He wanted her away from harm and his sister's influence.
_________________________________
Sometimes she did wish for it. If they could just get away like they'd discussed briefly before, live in Kansas... she knew it would never work. He needed his siblings, he needed excitement and a big job. He needed his space. But him saying he'd be willing to give it all up for her soothed her tormented mind some. She rested her brow against his, not pulling away now, coming closer as she whispered, "I'm scared..." he hadn't been around his sister in months.. Lust changed him. He reverted to more of the Sin and if he became the monster at the con again...
_________________________________
"Why?" He knew, he just wanted her to tell him. He couldn't assure her that nothing would change. He wasn't sure himself. One thing was certain though, she had the Sin and the boy on her side.
_________________________________
She put her arms around his neck, her voice still hushed, unable to meet his eye, "Every time you go... you become different. You haven't even left yet and you're already hiding things from me again even though you said you wouldn't. What if this time I'm not strong enough to change you back?" he was different than what he was before.. but it could just as easily make things worse for them just as it could make things better. They had no way of knowing.
_________________________________
"Zoe I'm not hiding. I just wanted time alone without Lust or Temp or anyone else butting in. I just wanted this." He pushed her hair back, his thumbs rubbing circles on her cheeks. "I'm not promising anything because I know no better than you what will happen. I do know you have both of us." He meant the sides of him he usually split. The sides that were slowly but surely merging into one.
_________________________________
She slowly raised her gaze to look in his deep baby blues. She wanted this too, just them. But they'd been through hell the past few months, starting with Poseidon and ending with the aftermath of the con, they were starting to get back on track and it felt like it was going to just all derail again. "What if you change..." she asked quietly. He was doing it already, he was hiding things from her and it was scaring her. She felt she wouldn't know what to do if he reverted back to how he was. She was overthinking it, letting her fears lead her emotions.
_________________________________
"Then we'll deal with it like we do everything else." He kissed her cheek. "I'm not letting go that easy." Greed wanted to come back to her.
_________________________________
She nodded and her arms around his neck brought her in a little closer, "You still hid it from me... you said you'd stop doing that. I guess not seeing me in my new dress is the universe's punishment for you..." her nose touched his, "It's green lace." her voice was kinda sad and disappointed still, she had been looking forward to starting the new year as a couple and now she'd be starting it alone.
_________________________________
"Lace?" He whimpered a little. That was a slap. A little boy bring told he'd been bad so he got no hot fudge for dessert. This not saying shit right away was a thorn in his side.
_________________________________
She nodded, "Lace. And if you'd told me earlier then I could have got it for a different occasion..." but he didn't, so he was going to miss out on it. She looked good in lace, she knew he liked it on her. He hadn't told her because he wanted to enjoy happy times with her withut her being mad or sad and ruining his fun. That didn't work out. And now he was also missing out on the dress. When he hid things, he always had it blow up in his face.
_________________________________
"Can't you try it on before I leave?" He tugged at the hem of her shirt, knowing he'd lost the ball on this one. He missed out on a lot and he hated it.
_________________________________
She shook her head, "I can't.. I had to special order it and it won't be here till New Years Eve." she rested her brow on his and hoped that this stupid Lust thing would at least teach him (again) to not hide things from her.
_________________________________
"Do I get it after?" He wasn't doomed to never see it was he? This was turning out to be a horrible Christmas Eve.
_________________________________
She uncurled her arms from around his neck and snuggled into him, "Yeah, I guess." she picked up his hand, tracing the dove tattoo on his wrist. "I just thought it was the perfect dress to wear to get kissed at midnight."
_________________________________
"Can't we have our own New Years? Like as if we were in some other part of the world completely. Then I still get to kiss you on midnight and I get to see lace." New Years didn't have to be particular to just the United States, or everyone else. This was their own imaginary world, they could make up their own day.
_________________________________
She furrowed a brow, still outlining the tattoo with her finger. It really sounded like he was trying to get both things but she had to admit it sounded tempting. She scrunched up her lips and narrowed her eyes at him, "Maybe...... but that doesn't mean you get off the hook about hiding things in the first place." she still eyed him, "How would we have our own...?" they hadn't really made plans for new years.
_________________________________
"Just pick a day. I find a bright shiny disco ball to drop full of confetti and New Years hats and non-alcoholic drinks and sex. Lots of sex." He was trying to get her to lighten up and warm to the idea of something new.
_________________________________
She seemed to be considering it and poked him when he said lots of sex. Then she frowned, "Non-alcoholic drinks? Isn't it traditional to have champagne on New years?"
_________________________________
"Considering the last time I put drinks and drugs in front of you I was going for something light. I can have the alcohol though." He grinned never a fan of the watered down versions. She on the other hand was delicate, pumping her up with a virgin drink seemed the perfect solution.
_________________________________
She gave him a look, "Don't dump it down my throat like last time and we'll be fine." she gave him a lopsided smile, "You worry about me a lot." he was always fussing over her drinking, she'd never had a boyfriend or friend that did it. Not even her grandfather noticed how much of a lightweight she was when it came to drinks.
_________________________________
"I told you before---" he threw them back on the couch so that she toppled onto him, hooking his feet between her legs. "I don't want to see that night again." It haunted him what he'd done and how lifeless she'd been. It was a sight Greed saw many times, but when it was with his things it triggered something inside. He hated breaking his toys.
_________________________________
She let out a sound of surprise as she fell on him and looked down in his eyes and she could tell he meant it. She still couldn't tell when he was lying and hiding things anymore and that hurt... but she knew he was being sincere right now. She kissed his lips softly, sealing his silent promise of never doing that again and then she folded her hands on his chest, "You know... you still didn't ask me to be your date for this fake new years."
_________________________________
"Am I supposed to? I usually don't do much in asking for anything...." especially dates. It was more of a deep lingering glance an a smile an he'd wormed someone onto his arm. Greed didn't ask for anything if he could just take it.
_________________________________
She grinned at him, "Oh that's right... you seduce. Or you manhandle." She sat up on him and looked down at him, "You did a bad thing, so you're going to have to either ask or seduce or manhandle me to be your date because hiding things means I don't automatically be your plus one for the night, buddy." she poked him twice in the tummy.
_________________________________
He rubbed the spot she poked tenderly. "Oh, you want me to seduce you? I have no problems with that." All he had to do was lower his lashes and smile. His lips could also be very convincing. She knew better than anyone. His hands played up the back of her shirt, lips just a breath hanging by her ear as he whispered in it---nothing naughty----but something simple and sweet. "I just want you."
_________________________________
She shivered a little when his went up her back and his breath was on her ear but she only smiled at his words, "Mmm.. that's a good start..." she wasn't easily seduced. Well, she was. But she never made it easy for him.
_________________________________
She was jello when he kissed her. It was more like a slow tackle. She saw it, knew it was coming but he didn't give her the attention right way. He brushed his nose across her face, her cheeks as if it were nothing more than a feather and watched her eyes fall heavy. She had done that once, touched him as if she were just a soft breath of wind and it sent shivers down his spine. It had let loose a hundred tiny prickles across his skin. With his fingers dragging up and down her spine he waited to feel that same prickle of flesh on her naked back.
_________________________________
It didn't take long for goosebumps to form on her back that he could feel, her hands even rested on his shoulders because he was going to melt her into a puddle otherwise. "Something tells me this isn't how you seduce the other girls...." she murmured. This was slow... this required patience.
_________________________________
"You aren't other girls and you know it. You take a little finesse." He bit down on her lower lip, tugging on it lightly, his fingers making that happy trail down her back to reach the edge of her jeans. He still hadn't kissed her yet, that was next when she still put up a wall, IF she could hold out that long and for both their sakes he hoped she didn't.
_________________________________
Her words were muffled and sounded like noise since he had her bottom lip and her crotch bumped against his when he got to the waistband of her jeans. Her hands gripped him a bit tighter but she was trying not to fall into that foggy haze he always threw her into when he smooched her.
_________________________________
"Still nothing?" he nuzzled her face with his nose again, his tongue a viper as it lined her upper lip, his hands very blatantly diving down a little more under the waistband. A little touch there, a taste, she wouldn't be able to keep saying no.
_________________________________
She gasped a little as his hand dipped down lower, "Your hand seems to be slipping..." she murmured but her lips were trying to kiss him, "Maybe I feel a tiny something..."
_________________________________
"Do they? I hadn't noticed. They have a mind of their own...." He still waited a moment, lingering before he claimed her lips, hopefully claiming her of that willfulness to keep him at bay. It wouldn't work much longer, he was determined.
_________________________________
She didn't give in right away but the longer he kissed her, the more she kinda just swooned. She couldn't help it. It wasn't just he was a good kisser but the way he kissed her.. it felt like it was a kiss just for her. Her hands went from his shoulders to around his neck and finally she kissed him back.
_________________________________
"Score..." He hummed against her lips. That was what he'd been aiming for. Not this 'I won't give into you' role she tried to pacify him with. His hands still traveled, scaling the edge of her undies.
_________________________________
She squirmed against him as his hands started to find her undies, "You still didn't ask.." she said against his lips, giving him several kisses. Sometimes it became hard to remember when they weren't at her place, they couldn't do long passionate kisses.
_________________________________
"Do I need to? My hands are already doing the asking for me?" He dived in a little too quickly to those kisses which would burn him up hotter than a skillet on fire.

She leaned back a little just so his kisses couldn't be so rapid fire and end up killing him. She looked at him through lowered lashes, eyes heavy with desire and she gave him a soft smile.
