Who: Shae and Kamillah
What: Stairway to...heaven?
Where: The stairwell
When: October 2, shortly before midnight and after this thread
Warning: ...yeah, okay, there's a SMUT ALERT.

Two days, Shae thought as he pressed himself flush against the wall of the third floor landing. I'm gone for two fucking days, and everything goes to pot. He was seriously beginning to wonder if someone at the bar had spiked his drink.

His day was supposed to be done. He'd caught the perp, he'd collected on the bounty- hell, he'd even met an unsuspecting neighbor in the process. It was time to kick back and relax.

So why was he suddenly walking into a goddamn Egyptian tomb? And then some kind of Greco-Roman temple? The stairwell had seemed normal enough that he'd sought refuge there, and he'd been hoping against hope that somehow this elaborate hallucination of his would evaporate by the third floor, but- nope, no such luck.

Shae was usually a logical person. A rational person. Maybe a little gullible at times, and certainly susceptible to a well-planned swindle. But this...this, was out of control. Was he actually losing his mind, or were there trees growing out of the third floor? What would he find in his own apartment, if he could even make it that far without dissolving into a giant puddle of crazy? He was starting to get really nervous, and when Shae was really nervous, he had a bit of an itchy trigger finger. That didn't necessarily bode well for anyone else who might have been unlucky enough to take the stairs...

His hold relaxed and his weight settling atop her, Kami immediately shook her wrists free and looped her arms around Shae's shoulders. His low cry echoed in her ears and she trembled slightly in the aftermath of their combined orgasms. Closing her eyes, she felt his body sink further into hers and a blissed-out smile curved her lips. He was heavy, sure, but it felt amazing, a gift and a reward of sorts. A job really, really well done.

She gave a happy, little purr. "Shae," she breathed. "Mmm, Shae, that was amazing." One hand moved to stroke a his hair while the other trailed down his backbone. They held position for a few more precious moments, bodies warm and sticky. She hardly wanted to move; he felt so natural and good that she barely registered his heavy weight. Finally, she twisted to kiss his temple and nuzzle at his dark hair. Then, ever so gently, she nudged her lover from his position atop her and wriggled until he slipped to the side, nearly deadweight on the mattress. The shift had him slip from within her as well and Kami made a soft sound at the sensation of loss. She rolled to her side so as to allow continued body contact. Somewhere, in the back of her mind, she worried that a full parting would kill the lingering buzz his touch and attention had created throughout her system. Electric was the only way she could begin to think of it.

It was strangely, intensely familiar.

Pushing that notion and the threatening thoughts to follow from her head, Kami pressed a tender kiss to the sweat-slicked skin of Shae's throat. Then she trailed a line down his chest with more gentle kisses until she knelt at his hip. She paused for a split-second to study her new lover and another smile lit her face. Reaching out, she rested her palm low on his stomach. "Mmm, Shae," she whispered again. "Thank you."

Then both hands moved and she expertly slipped the condom from his softening erection, knotting it before dropping it into the little wicker basket beside the bed. Her hand came back to cradle him gently as she laid down and cuddled back into his side. A few more kisses along his shoulder led her even closer and she ended with a final one over his pulse. She felt his heart flutter against her lips, felt the reactionary thrill and melt within her own body. Draping an arm over his chest, Kami moved to press her entire body close against his side and rested her head in the curve of his shoulder. God, he smelled amazing, felt amazing, was amazing.

Feeling the post-orgasmic lethargy settling over them both, she smiled. One thing left to do. "Wanna spend the night, Shae?" she offered with a soft, delighted giggle.

Deadweight, indeed. Shae would be absolutely useless until he somehow managed to open his eyes and roll out of bed, an occurrence that seemed less likely with each passing second. He could feel Kami's touches on his hypersensitive skin, the ghosting brush of lips against his chest, but the heavy fog of sleep was descending on him so suddenly that it took nearly all of his energy just to tangle his fingers absently in her thick locks.

"Nnn," he managed to return to her first breathy compliment, the coherence quickly evaporating from his mind. When he felt her body slip into place beside him, those nearly illegal curves fitting so smoothly and naturally against him, he automatically wound an arm behind her back to draw her closer.

That had been intense. Was this always how it felt with her? For a few moments there it had almost, almost felt like an out-of-body experience, like his consciousness had suddenly just...expanded. There was really no other way to describe the sensation, and he was in no shape to attempt such a thing; he only knew that, as the warmth of her body nestled so closely next to his lulled him into temporary oblivion, he'd never felt so comforted and at ease, as though the woman beside him was merely an extension of himself, or, possibly, that they were both merely pieces of some much, much larger puzzle. Either way, it felt like home.

When her invitation came, it was greeted by the sound of light snoring. Surely that was as good an acceptance as any, yes?

Instead of being insulted by Shae's almost-immediate fade into unconsciousness, Kami laughed softly and let him draw her even closer, snuggling in with her own contented sigh. Her head fit so perfectly against the cradle of his shoulder. It was easy to allow her own eyes to close, sleep edging into her own pleasantly fogged brain. She had only felt that incredibly good once before and, in the state she was in, even the thought of him could not bother her. Instead, her hand trailed lazily over Shae's naked chest and her fingertips walked along first one inked design and then another, moving just to keep touching, loathe to let any of the contact fade. She felt his heart, his pulse, sensed the gentle shift of the breath in his lungs. Beyond that... She still felt the expansive, welcoming peace from that golden moment.

Reluctantly, Kami forced her mind back into functioning just enough for bare practicalities. Sooner or later, the body heat would drift away and they'd be clinging together. Not that that was a bad thing... Separating just enough, she managed to hook the fingertips of one hand into a fold of the comforter, half-fallen from the bed as a result of their passion. A strong tug brought it upwards over them both and she snuggled back into the prone Shae. Tucking the comforter better around them both, she settled her head at his shoulder once more and another contented sigh left her.

She'd shower in the morning. For now, all she could focus on was sticky-sweet warmth of the man sharing her bed and the promise of deep, heavenly sleep. Thank goodness she didn't work until the late shift tomorrow. Kami smiled into Shae's shoulder and felt the dim edge of sleep approach. Oh, she was going to have lovely dreams indeed...
