Who? Darcy & Ashley
Where? The park on wheel 3
When? Friday afternoon
What? A riding lesson
Open? No
Rating? Ummm plenty of sexual tension? And excessive touching? TBC.

Darcy really was looking forward to seeing Ashley again. After the strange onesies and ice cream event, he had quite deliberately given her a little bit of space to be with her family and grieve. He was always just a call away, and he had checked in with her every evening, just to let her know that she wasn't alone. He would have dropped everything and anything in a heartbeat if she had suddenly needed him.

As it was, she was stronger than she gave herself credit for. He was happy to provide something of a merry distraction for the afternoon. From his own experiences with grief, he knew that there was only so much time one could spend locked away indoors before the sorrow threatened to drown you.

He had headed down a little early to kit Annie out for the lesson, make sure she was well and happy, and let her have a wander about the park with minimal supervision to get that need for independence out her system a little. As for himself, he was also kitted out for riding, complete with a top hat that had successfully dried out and retained its shape after his dunk in the lake a month earlier.

	"I don't know about wonderful but I try." She smiled and put a hand on his cheek as he kissed her. "I really do love your smile." She lightly ran her thumb over his lips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her compliment made his smile a little wider, and she even managaed to get a slight blush out of him. “Thank you,” he said softly. “You will see it much, much more often than anyone else in the universe.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Then I feel very privileged indeed." She grinned and kissed him again, lingering a bit this time. She really could just keep kissing him. It was always wonderful.

"I have been wondering something these last couple of minutes." She chuckled. "With everything you wear up here." She put her hand on his chest. "How many layers are you wearing down here?" She moved her hand to rest on his hips. Working his lower back had been interesting.

Everything in the world just felt right when she kissed him, which was definitely quite a feat on a space station 200 years in his future.

“Yes, dear?” he rested his head on one hand as she explained what she was wondering, when she got to the point, there was a split second pause as he realised what she had on her mind, and then he laughed a little, cheeks flushing again with slight embarrassment.

“Oh, that’s what you were wondering?” he teased lightly. “Two,” he told her, and then gave her a bit of a cheeky look. “You?”

Ashley felt rather victorious that she'd managed to make him blush. And his laugh was music to her ears. She made herself a promise to make sure that happened more often. She let her fingers lightly dance along his hip as she spoke.

"Okay, two isn't so bad. That's normal." She chuckled. "Today I have two. There are some days when I have as many as four layers and others where it's just one." She smirked.

	“Oh, how pleased I am to be normal for once,” he chuckled softly. He was very aware of her fingers moving lightly at his hip. “Highly variable, how mysterious of you,” he smirked a little.the days of one layer were intriguing, but four? “You sometimes wear four? And you were concerned about my overheating. Why four, dare I ask?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ashley laughed softly at his joke. She had been expecting more than just two layers.

"Four is only for a certain look. I have my underwear, then tights, then either a slip or a petticoat depending on the look I'm going for and then the skirt or dress over top." She smiled. "My legs rarely overheat so it's not a problem but I keep the layers up top to a mininum." She nodded. "That's just for very special occasions, though, when I'm going for extra fancy." Like for their wedding was the next thought in her head.

“That doesn’t sound so much when you explain it,” he admitted. He did not say that he was thinking the skirt and petticoat scarcely counted since they could be just lifted out of the way. Where had that thought come from? He just couldn’t control his imagination around her.

“I had noticed about the layers up top,” he reminded her. He’d had very close contact with those layers. Oh, now he was thinking too much about what was under her clothes. He really couldn’t be trusted to handle himself around her.

Ashley laughed softly. "I usually have two up top, but some outfits make undergarments a little ridiculous. Kind of like this one." She looked down at her blouse. Yes, she could have worn a strapless bra with it but she didn't see a point. She let her hand just rest on his hip as she smirked at him. It was a bit if a tease and she wondered what he would do with the information.

Darcy had been curious about her current outfit, but he wasn’t the sort of man to outright ask about a lady’s undergarments. Then again, if said lady happened to be your fiancée, maybe such questions were entirely reasonable.

He caught the smirk, and knew what she was doing. He ran his fingers down one side of her neck, they danced along her exposed collarbone. “Yes, I see what you mean,” he said softly, before pressing a quick kiss to a bare shoulder. “This is a rare occasion, then. We have exactly the same layering right now.”

Ashley shivered a little as he touched her and licked her lips when he kissed her collarbone. She wanted him to kiss other places as well.

"That's true. Though I think my layers are a little more easily removed than yours." She chuckled softly. Ashley shifted a little closer to him and then rolled onto her back. She put her hands behind her head, causing her shirt to move up a bit, exposing her midriff.

It was one of those moments when Darcy had to wonder just how far his own willpower could be stretched and still hold strong.

Her layers were easy to remove. A skirt could be hitched up, the top was barely holding on anyway. Christ, he had to stop staring at her body. His mind was busy remembering having her in his lap, and thinking about the way she had shuddered and moaned for him earlier that afternoon. If they could do that to each other while fully clothed...

He had to remind himself that they were actually still in a public place technically, and they were not yet married. Still... there was no harm in just letting his fingers run along the little strip of newly exposed skin.

Ashley closed her eyes and just relaxed. Even just laying there beside him, neither saying a word, was enjoyable. And she let her mind wander a bit. Her muscles tensed slightly when he touched her but it lasted only a second. She hadn't been expecting it.

And then she found herself wanting his hand to move in one direction or another. To touch her and make her moan again. A little smile played on her lips as she was silently thankful that her arousal wasn't quite so obvious as his.

When he felt her tense, he almost pulled his hand back and apologised, but the reaction passed as quickly as it appeared. He looked over at her expression, and she was smiling a little, her body relaxed again. So, he let his fingers trace delicate shapes across her exposed skin. His thoughts were very similar to her own, his fingers teasing along the waistband of her skirt for a moment before he stopped himself.

	"It's okay." She whispered softly before looking at him. She so desperately wanted him to touch her. Of course she also wanted to touch him but they could get to that. While they were in a technicality public area, they were in a part of the park that didn't get much foot traffic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Darcy looked back at her for a moment, thinking about it, considering what he so desperately wanted and weighing up his options. This shouldn't be such a dilemma. He should have the strength to just refuse, but he only knew that he should refuse for her sake. But she was looking at him like that, and it was hard to convince himself that she needed protecting from him.

After an agonisingly long time, he shook his head lightly. "I really do want to, but... you deserve better than this," he insisted. A secretive fumble in a park didn't really seem right for someone he loved. He moved his hand, and propped himself up a little to look at her and consider their options.

"Walk back with me. If, by the time we get there, you still want me to, you can come in and I will do... whatever you please. Or if you find the walk and the passing of time has made you change your mind, then it's fine, you can stay for lunch, or say goodbye and leave it at that," he suggested. "Or if you have already changed your mind, you can have a sandwich and I'll make pointless comments about the lack of weather," he joked a little. He just wanted her to be sure, not caught up in a moment that she might end up regretting or feeling badly about.

Her heart was pounding as he stared at her. She could almost see the struggle in his eyes. And then he said all of those wonderful things and she wanted nothing more than to pounce on him right there.

"Oh my god." She said softly. Ashley sat up and put her hands on his cheeks, looking into those beautiful brown eyes. "Could you possibly be any more perfect?" She smiled brightly and actually felt herself tearing up a bit.
