Backdate to January with all the snow! Who: Seraphina O'Sullivan and Shane Sawyer What: Dinner and a movie... turns into more When: January just after one of the snow storms Where: Sera's apartment Rating: PG-13 Status: Incomplete Log
It seemed like the snow was never going to stop. This had to be like the eighth storm this year and it was snowing pretty heavily. Seraphina had, ofcourse, braved the snow to go to class. She loved the music too much to not go to class. However, now it was over. Her piano lessons with her students were cancelled for the day and she had been bored.
While they weren’t exclusively seeing each other, she did like spending most of her free time with Shane. Neither of them were looking for anything other then some fun, but secretly she knew she was starting to really like him. Sera had called him between her classes to invite him over for dinner and a movie. He’d seemed a little reluctant at first, but she convinced him to her will.
Now she was conflicted. Should she wear something cute because she did sort of like Shane or dress comfortably because of the snow? In the end she went with a mixture of the two. Wearing a baggy pair of sweatpants, a skin tight wife beater tank, and a zip up hoodie, she answered the door. "Hey. Hope you didn’t freeze your willy off trying to get here."
When Sera had called him, he was definitely at home skipping any classes he might have had. Trek out there in the snow? Yeah...Shane didn’t think so. It was too cold and there was too much snow to be walking around. Well, at least to go out and learn something. To go have dinner and a movie with a cute girl, well that he could do. Plus he needed some time and some way to get Melia out of all his thoughts.
Shane was definitely not looking for anything other than fun. At least that was what he was telling himself. Truth, he wasn’t really sure of anything. He was just kind of doing what he wanted, when he wanted it. It wasn’t like Sera wasn’t hot or fun because she was definitely both. It was just that especially since hearing about Melia’s dad...he kept finding that Melia was on his mind without him even realizing it.
"Hey," Shane greeted her when she opened the door. He was wearing a simple tee shirt and a pair of jeans and a big warm hoodie. It was casual, but nice of course. Though he didn't really own much that wasn't nice. "Yeah, its a little cold out there," he agreed.
"Only a little cold? Are you kidding me? It’s freezing!" Grabbing his arm, she pulled him into her apartment. It wasn’t like it was taking him out of the elements... he’d been in the hallway after all, but she did it to make a point. Faking a shiver, Sera smirked as she closed the door and locked it.
Instead of ordering food, she’d actually cooked. It was the perfect weather to make up a batch of homemade sauce, meatballs, and pasta. Heading into the kitchen, she asked if he wanted a drink. Sera stirred the sauce and took a small taste. Almost done. Grabbing two beers from the fridge, she handed one to him and leaned back against the counter.
"I hope you don’t mind that I made gravy and meatballs. I just have to boil the water for the pasta and dinner will be ready in less than a half an hour. I was really in the mood for good Italian food."
It was kind of freezing. Though it was beginning to feel like it was warming up a little. That was probably just his mind playing tricks on him or he had enough layers or just a high body temperature. He laughed when she pulled him inside. They weren't in a relationship by any means, but that didn't mean he didn't greet her with a kiss. Once they were inside and she'd closed the door it was his turn to pull her. Shane grabbed her hand and pulled her to him, pressing his lips against hers. One hand slipped into her hair while the other dropped to rest on her hip. A few moments later he pulled back and smiled at her. "Hey beautiful," Shane added. It was a much better greeting.
Shane didn't mind at all. Food was food. He was a guy and he pretty much had a bottomless appetite. He would probably eat whatever was set down in front of him. Though he couldn't dispute the fact that her apartment smelled really good, especially as they got closer to the kitchen.
"Not at all. I'm looking forward to it. It smells delicious," Shane complimented, opening his beer. He brought the bottle to his lips and tipped his head back. Good beer, what he was sure was going to be a good dinner, a good movie and good company. He wasn't really sure what else he could ask for. It seemed like he had it all tonight.
Wow. Sera could definitely get used to being greeted like that. She hummed her approval and took her a moment to compose herself enough to move. When she finally did, her cheeks were pink with a flustered blush. Inwardly she tried to count how many times they’d hung out. Stupid rule. They weren’t quite at the ten times hanging out.
"Thanks. It’s a secret family recipe. Well... not really secret, but my mom doesn’t really share it with anyone other than her kids." Putting a pot of water on to boil, she turned the big batch of sauce off to let it start cooling down. Was it just her or was it getting warm in the apartment? Fanning herself a little, she took a big gulp from her beer.
"Horror, action, thriller, or chick flick? We just got that netflix thing where it gets delivered to your x-box instantly... so we have a huge selection."
He leaned over the sauce and breathed the aroma in. "Whatever it is, I can't wait to eat it."
It didn't matter what they put on the television. They never watched the whole thing anyway. Once the lights were off and just the glow of the television was their light, he had trouble behaving. His hands liked to wander a lot. "I don't care," Shane responded easily.
Shane hadn't intended to start doing anything just yet, right then in the kitchen. But as he stood there watching her prepare things and move around the kitchen he found himself smiling. And thinking about how attractive she looked right now, even if all she was wearing was sweats. "You can pick," he murmured, distracted.
After she stopped touching the boiling hot pot, he stepped behind her and put his hands on her waist. His body was pressed against the back of hers and he took one hand and pulled her hair out of the way and off to one side. Once her neck was exposed, he grinned to himself. Shane pressed his lips to the curve where her neck became her shoulder. He bit softly and kissed the area again. Lifting her hair up, he kissed his way to the other side moving up and down the exposed area. Perhaps it was not nice to distract the cook but he couldn't help himself.
A smile played over her lips when Shane said he couldn’t wait to eat what she’d made. It actually wasn’t often that she cooked for a guy and if she had, in the past, it was never her mother’s sauce. That didn’t mean anything though... food was food, right?
She’d been so caught up in cooking for him that Sera hadn’t seen the way he was watching and looking at her. When his hands pulled her waist and pressed her completely against him, she let out a soft gasp. However, it was as his hand and lips moved over her neck and shoulders that had her moaning just loud enough for him to hear.
"Mmmm... Shane. Guh... you’re such a tease." Turning in his arms, she pressed her chest and the full length of her body against his and kissed him hungrily on the lips. Sera trailed her fingers up his arms and around his neck before finally grazing them into tangle with the hair at the nape of his neck. God, he was an incredible kisser.
Shane was grinning when he had his red headed companion moaning softly. He couldn't help it, the grin, that is. He could have helped the teasing but he always seemed to fail at self control. It was just never one of his strong suits.
He didn't protest as she turned in his arms and pressed her body against his. He pulled her close, making sure there was no space between them as she crushed her lips against his. "Baby, you haven't seen nothing, yet," he murmured between hungry kisses. If she thought that was teasing, he could do a lot better than that.
Without disentangling them much, Shane started to tug at her hoodie. The rest of their clothes didn't have to go, but their hoods…they needed to go. He chuckled as he struggled with helping her. He pulled back briefly and expertly pulled his own hoodie off. The minute the fabric passed his head, his lips were already back on Sera's as he just tossed the hoodies anywhere. Now that was much better.
Shane pressed Sera's back against the cabinets behind her as he worked over her lips. His hands disappeared beneath the fabric of her tank top and rested against the sides of her hips. His thumbs moved upwards and down, very soft and very light. Each trip down he dipped his thumb beneath the rubber band waist of her sweats and under the top of her panties.
And she thought he was a tease before. And this, this was amateur work. Not even his full potential.
Oh, Sera knew better then to think this was his best work. They’d definitely gone this far before a time or four. It was the sexiest kind of torture there was, but she wouldn’t trade anything for it. When he pulled at her hoodie, she stepped back just enough to unzip it and let it fall to the floor. Once his was off, her hands slipped up under his t-shirt just enough to rest against his delicious abs.
Kissing him hungrily, she moaned into his mouth as his hands and thumbs moved over her hips and waist. Sera slipped her arms around so that her hands pressed into his back, pressing him closer to her. She pulled her lips away just enough to move them down over his neck where she nipped and licked and sucked at his skin.
In the background, she could hear the water boiling but just then she could care less. Pulling his shirt up, she wanted it off. Once it was laying on the floor, her lips and hands moved over his chest as she kissed her away across his broad chest and shoulders. "Shane..."
