Sometimes this whole whirlwind with Clint surprised her. They'd kept themselves from this for such a long time, it was a bit difficult to take it all in. That was especially true given Clint's new found enthusiasm with loving her. Settling comfortable on the couch, his body moving over her own as he teased her. She smiled as he nuzzled her stomach, her fingers slipping into his hair. An cuddly and affectionate Clint was rather endearing ... even if that wasn't what had intended for.
"I never was very good at following the rules," she murmured, her eyes following the gradual progression of those sinful lips. "I wanted to see you." She always wanted to see him, but she'd particularly wanted to see him after that stupid gossip article. She couldn't put it into words why that poorly written garbage bothered her. It wasn't even that big of a deal. Katie was right. It was their unusual intentional slight and she didn't care what other people thought of her. She hadn't cared in such a long time. There was no reason for it. She would have preferred some nonsense about an Ex or some torrid affair rather than this sheer dismissal of what they meant to each other. In the end she really shouldn't complain. They were bound to get around to those notions sooner rather than later.
Those thoughts were easily brushed aside for the moment, as Clint's lips and hands moved over her, coaxing and drawing every last bit of her attention to him. Drawing his lips up her body, Lexi instinctively responded to his touch, her skin heating up beneath each press of his lips. When she could reach his lips, she lifted her head from the cushion and stole a slow kiss and simply let their combined desire rise between them.
