i_seekgod Movie Night (Max)
Movie night was in full swing. He'd managed to find several John Wayne movies in a singular movie rental store, and while there had gotten microwave popcorn bags and sodas for both of them. He'd stay away from the booze tonight. It was funny how money showed up when he needed it. Jesse wondered if this would always be this way, or if at some point, it'd just stop being there. Something to watch, he supposed.
They'd already watched 'Neath The Arizona Skies, Dakota, and El Dorado. Currently, they were about to get into McLintock!
Jesse looked at Max, grinning.
"What do you think, baby girl? Something you could get used to? Or the most horrible thing you've ever seen?"
The bowl of popcorn was on his lap, he'd popped several bags and poured them into one big bowl, which hadn't been there before. But gift horse, and all.
Kojak was happily nearby, chewing on things. Jesse had taken away the squeaky toy, as it proved to be spectacularly annoying while trying to watch movies.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 12:41:03
"Not the most horrible thing in the world, no. Slowly, I'm being being converted." Max wasn't lying either, they weren't bad movies, and knowing that Jesse actually talked to and got advice from this man made them all the more interesting to watch.
It had proved to be a fun night so far, even with Kojak's company. Max grabbed her can of soda and took a long swig before reaching over to Jesse's lap to grab some popcorn. "It's definitely not horrible, I think I see the appeal."
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 12:49:30
"Glad to hear that, darlin. So very glad."
Jesse opened a new can of soda for himself and shoved a small handful of popcorn into his mouth.
They were sitting on the floor, because it seemed safer than trying to sit together on the loveseat. They could spread out a little more on the floor.
"The Duke would be proud of the conversion, I think. Yessir."
He'd been grinning the whole time. There was nothing better in this world than John Wayne movies. He felt a bit like a kid again.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 13:05:41
Max couldn't helo but grin broadly as well. This was just fun, even if they weren't doing much talking or anything else. That was alright, because the movies were keeping her entertained.
She crossed her legs, having to switch positions because the floor got slightly hard after awhile if she stayed sitting the same way for too long. Still, she didn't mind. It was her Jesse time.
"I'm surprised he hasn't shown up... does he just show up?"
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 16:20:53
"Yeah, he just shows up. But." He tilted his head at her and smiled softly. "He's a real proper kind of guy. He wouldn't just show up during a date like that."
He offered her the bowl of popcorn by shaking it, which inadvertantly caught Kojak's attention. The dog stood and started to wander over. Jesse tossed him a kernal.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 16:57:24
Max laughed, she couldn't help it when Jesse threw Kojak popcorn.
"You know dogs aren't supposed to eat 'human' food," she teased. "And you're totally just gonna make him think that we want him in our laps." She did mind dog cuddling most days, but tonight she didn't want fur in her popcorn.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 17:02:04
"Oh too late." Jesse grinned as Kojak wandered his way over.
"Sit. Stay. Go ... chew something. Go on. Get. Stay out of the popcorn!"
He was laughing now, and couldn't even attempt any other commands. He fumbled with the remote and paused the movie so they wouldn't miss anything while they were trying to fix the dog situation.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 17:08:25
Her smirk said something distinctly along the lines of 'I told you so', as she reached quickly to grab her soda can out of the way of Kojak's back paws. Spilled popcorn was much easier to get up than soda.
She tried throwing a few pieces in the other direction, hoping that the dog would go for them, but of course there was a whole bowl sitting right next to them, so it was was kind of fruitless.
"I'm thinking he doesn't do the whole sit on command thing," Max said, still laughing. She tried pushing Kojak's head away from the bowl. "And that he likes popcorn better than kibbles 'n bits."
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 17:11:12
"Go dog! Move dog!" Jesse held the bowl up away from Kojak's head, far away as he could.
"Make a run for it, Max! Save yourself!" Kojak licked Jesse's face, which just caused more laughter. "And the popcorn! Save the popcorn!"
Jesse pushed the dog away with his hand, and then put his foot out to keep him at bay.
"We can win this!"
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 17:18:19
Snickering slightly, Max grabbed the popcorn right from underneath Kojak's nose while he was busy licking Jesse. The dog really was cute in his affection, just not while they were trying to watch movies.
She put the bowl down on the small coffee table and hoped Kojak wouldn't get to it there. Then, still laughing, she stuck out her hand to Jesse. "Come on, as if I'd leave you behind to face the beast by yourself. If you get up fast enough, you might confuse him long enough to escape." Max grinned.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 17:21:56
Jesse clambered his way up, using the couch, and Max, as handholds.
Though, when he got up behind her, with her there being all vulnerable and nice and all that, exposed, he couldn't help himself. The urge came over him, and he tickled her.
Viciously.
No mercy.
He used his leg to trap hers where it was so she couldn't just get up and move away.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 17:31:44
"I was being nice!" Max shrieked as the two of them fell onto the loveseat. Those were her last words. As the tickle assault continued all her breath was used up by laughter and wiggling as she tried to get off the couch.
Max had to hand it to him, Jesse had her trapped rather well, with her legs trapped and her back trapped between the side and back of the couch. And he was tickling in all of the worst places. She was afraid to move around too much because her uniform wasn't really made for extreme squirming activities, so squealing was reall her only other option.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 17:35:33
"HA haha! I've got you now!" Jesse laughed villianously as he continued his tickle torment.
Her hand was getting in his way. All that pushing and trying to hold on. It just wasn't going to work for him. So he grabbed on and laced his fingers into hers, and pinned that squirmy hand against the top of the loveseat, hooking his own fingers around to the back to hold on.
His other hand was busy finding spots around the ribs and at the back of the knee.
Kojak sat on the floor and perked an ear, not knowing this game.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 17:43:40
She knew that Jesse liked to watch her squirm, but really, this was just torture. Fun torture, yes, Max couldn't deny that even though breathing was going to soon become an issue, that she wasn't having fun. She didn't mind having Jesse near on top of her or holding her down.
But still, air! "Jesse--" Max tried, but couldn't finish that time, as his hand started in on a new place near her ribs, bringing about a fresh set of shrieks and laughter on her part.
She tried pulling herself up a bit, and getting back control of her hand, but it didn't really seem to be working.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 17:46:21
"What's this?" Jesse didn't stop tickling. "Do I hear cries of mercy?"
Kojak wandered away, no longer having fun, and no longer with access to the popcorn. Jesse heard the dog flop on his blanket in the corner.
"Don't tell me you're giving in already, darlin!"
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 17:52:34
"I need... t'breath." The words were almost no more than giggles with rhythem. Jesse had an uncanny knack for this.
Max fell back, leaning on the loveseat completely now. She couldn't actually support herself anymore.
"Mercy?" She asked pitifully. She couldn't even muster up puppydog eyes, she was laughing so hard.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 17:54:39
"Well, dang." He stopped tickling finally. "I can't very well go on when you've asked for mercy. So mercy I shall give."
Jesse leaned forward and kissed her, signifying the end of the torture.
He spoke softly now. "Back to the movies then, huh?"
But instead of moving, he kissed Max again.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 18:02:39
If she'd been able to talk (she was still regaining much valued breath) Max might have said 'what movies' after Jesse kissed her. She then proceeded to almost complete forget about John Wayne after he moved to kiss her again.
Max was never one to break their kisses, it was always Jesse, and she wasn't going to start tonight. Especially not when this one felt different. It wasn't the normal soft kisses they'd fallen into the practice of. She felt compelled her to wrest her hand out of Jesse's grip so that she could bring both arms around his neck and pull him closer. And after that to kiss him harder, even opening her lips just slightly.
She just figured he'd pull away. That was what always happened, and while it was sometimes disapointing, Max trusted his judgement.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 18:07:08
But he didn't. Not this time.
When she parted her lips, he parted his. And went a step further. Jesse pulled her lower lip inbetween his and let his tongue move across it, just once.
His grip tightened on her hand and the couch, and the hand on her ribs moved to her back.
There was a voice, not that of Genesis - who seemed blissfully absent - and not of The Duke - who was not the sort to intrude - that was telling him that he should stop. It was going to get out of hand.
But he couldn't. She was there. She was... there. And he'd been so good so far. He could stop himself before it went too far, couldn't he?
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 18:17:55
It would have been a lie to say that Max knew what to do at this point. Once she felt his tongue the kiss officaly moved past anything she'd done in the past. The only thing that she knew for sure was that she wanted to get closer. She could take care of that at least, Jesse could lead the kiss.
She'd been rather awkwardly sitting on her side, but she changed that now. Keeping one hand on the back of Jesse's neck, Max used the other to balance herself while she adjusted her legs. She sat right down in Jesse's lap, legs wrapping around him, and never breaking the kiss.
It was comfortable now, though her skirt was a slight obstruction. Before reaching back up, she adjusted it, and then when she was no longer sitting on it, she devoted her full attentions back to the kiss.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 18:22:45
Jesse's hand slid from Max's back to the back of her knee, which he used to pull her closer. Down the couch and toward him. It stayed there, fingers around the back, but not tickling.
He had no desire at all to break away.
His mouth opened further, and he used his lips to encourage her to do the same. It was like fire inside when, for just the briefest moment, his tounge found hers.
Jesse completely let go of her hand, and just used his at the back of the couch to hold himself, and incidentally her, up.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 18:32:31
His technique worked, and Max was soon opening her lips and searching for his tongue as if it were second nature. She wanted more, and she moved in when he pulled her closer until her chest was practically smooshed against his. Her legs gripped tighter around his waist.
She was completley trapped against the back and side of the couch now, right in the corner where they met. One of her hands moved up to his hair as she tried to deepen the kiss and wondered how much closer they could possibly get.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 18:36:15
Jesse moved closer to the couch himself. Pulling himself forward so that he was practically right over Max. His hand strayed of it's own accord. It slid up the length of her thigh and placed itself firmly on her him.
Only there was just flesh there.
She was delicious, and felt so natural right there. He gripped her hip tightly, the bone fitting right into the curve between finger and thumb.
Jesse's kiss became a little more forceful. A little more needy. A whole lot deeper.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 18:49:08
Max felt a sudden shock when she realised that his hand had somehow found its way up her skirt. Whether it was because she hadn't been expecting it, or that she hadn't been expecting it to feel that good, she didn't know. But she didn't want it to leave her body, in fact...
She was moving by pure instinct now. She took her one hand from his hair and put it on top of his, moving it back down her thigh slightly, but in. The heat from his hand felt amazing there.
She didn't mind the force either, and matched it with her own. Her tongue found it's way to his again.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 19:11:12
Oh Christ.
Jesse gripped her thigh, his thumb moved inward, and up. He felt a slight brush of fabric.
Other parts of him were occupied with other parts of her.
Her tongue had found his, and be was busy rejoycing in the feeling. So soft. And she tasted sweet like the soda she'd just had a sip of.
The world was forgotten. Just her and him.
Jesse's fingers dug into the fabric of the couch, he pulled himself closer, pushing against her. He could hear his own heartbeat in his ears. Feel hers against his chest.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 19:25:34
This was new. Very new. Suddenly she was very aware that not much separated her and Jesse.
If she'd been thinking, the hardness pressed against her might have scared her slightly, made her nervous at least. But Max's mind was completely focused on the good, and that was exactly how it felt.
She reached down, completely moving her skirt out of the way and thrusting her hips back against him. It felt strangely right. Maybe not what she would have normally done, but right.
Her hand pressed down on his again, keeping it in place on her thigh as she thrusted. She wasn't ready to give up the feeling yet.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 19:37:07
Did she know what she was doing to him? Not likely.
Jesse caught her lip in his teeth, gently.
His thumb moved along the edges of the cloth and slid under it. The soft skin where her leg joined her body was enough to drive him mad.
He dove into another kiss, moving against her, with her, gripping tightly with both hands.
Jesse drank her in through the mouth, trying to pull her closer. Perhaps even inside.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 19:54:52
Something told her that as good as this felt, there were ways that it could have felt better. Max just didn't know how to get them there. She quite at the stage where she would start trying to strip Jesse down.
Still, there had to be something. She refocused on the kiss for a moment with renewed energy before her mind went back to the hand on her thigh, and the fingers, and the movement.
Max shifted slightly, bringing her body up and then settling back down as much as she could straight on him, forcing his hand slightly further in. From there she continued moving with him, noting that in this position every feeling seemed to have trippled. She was practically rubbing straight up against Jesse now.
Somewhere in his mind she wished he would ditch his own jeans, but she couldn't communicate that without moving her lips, and she very much loathed that thought.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 20:00:32
Things tugged at his mind now, more than they had been. Promises made. Things he needed to remember.
It sort of hit him like a bag of bricks what was going on. And it was exactly what shouldn't have been. Not now. There would come a time for this, and this was not it.
He broke away from the kiss and buried his face in her neck. His hand pushed her down, and away, forcing her to stop the movement.
"God." His voice was a harsh whisper, and he couldn't make it louder. "Max... stop."
Too far. He'd gone too far. And as much as he wanted to continue, it had to stop.
Somehow, he pulled himself away from her, and sat back on his heels. He had to catch his breath, and did so with his eyes closed and a hand on his forehead.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 20:11:50
No, that wasn't the reaction she'd wanted. He was pulling away, and not to pull of his shirt, or his jeans. He was just pulling away.
Left alone, her eyes opened completely and the room and Jesse came back into focus. Max looked at him feeling very self concsious... along with quite a few other things. Frustrated came to mind, as she gulped and looked down at herself. Biting her lip, she closed her legs and pulled her skirt back down. It didn't help much though.
"Jesse, what's the matter?" she asked nervously, wondering if she'd done something wrong. It was possible after all, she'd never done all that before.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 20:14:46
He sighed. Shook his head. Then leaned forward and gave her a small kiss on the cheek.
Somehow,he managed to stand, even though it was incredibly awkward and hard to hide the obvious bulge in his pants.
"Nothing's wrong, baby girl." He said quietly. "That's kind of the problem."
Jesse walked behind the couch and to the kitchen, close to the door.
"It shouldn't have got that far." He shook his head again. "I need to take a walk."
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 20:23:52
"A walk?" Max repeated, the confusion evident in her voice. "Jesse, I... I didn't mind. You weren't forcing-- I mean, we could... finish."
He couldn't just leave, no, not with her feeling like this.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 20:37:17
"Max, darlin, I made promises. To you and to myself. I know you didn't mind, believe me. I can tell that you didn't mind what was going on at all."
Jesse ran a hand through his hair.
"I don't intend to break any promises. Not to you, especially. I love you, Max, and I can't do this. I have to take a walk. I'll be back. I just gotta cool off. You just. You stay put, alright? I'll be back, I swear it."
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 20:47:39
Max nodded. She didn't completely like it, but she nodded. She sure as hell wasn't going anywhere, that was for sure. Her eyes locked on his waist for a moment, before looking down at her own and biting her lip.
She probably needed to cool off too. She found herself nodding again, letting out a small groan. This was not going to be fun.
"I'll be here," Max finally said. "Just... hurry?"
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 21:00:46
Jesse nodded once and went for the door. He didn't say anything to her about how long it would take. He had no idea himself. He just knew that he had to get out and away from her, or it would go a lot further than it should.
He headed right out, not paying attention to where he was going. Out the door of the room. Out the lobby doors, and into the cool night air. It helped. Not a lot.
Cigarettes were found, and one was lit up. He wished he'd worn his jacket, there was that flask in there, and that might help. Or it might not. One never knew with booze.
He walked quickly, to burn the energy that had built up. Soon he found himself at a fountain. Jesse knelt, set the cigarette on the edge, away from himself, and splashed the cold water onto his face and the back of his neck.
That helped a lot more.
So much to think about. How would they handle this now that they'd gotten so close... and. Sleeping? Were sleepovers even going to be safe anymore? He didn't want to lose those, but he wasn't exactly positive that he could continue to hold himself back like this. Not with her so... ready... and willing. It didn't make anything easier.
Jesse sat on the edge of the fountain and picked up the cigarette. He smoked it down and lit another. The same thoughts rolled through his mind over and over again, until they were obscure and almost meaningless. Until he was tired enough to think that if he went back, it'd be alright.
It was a good half an hour or more by the time he walked back through the doors of the hotel lobby, but even then, he didn't go directly to his room. He needed a bit more time.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 21:23:58
Max stayed sitting on the couch for a good ten minutes after Jesse left. She didn't know what to do about the slight throbbing sensations that kept going through her body, though she had strong hunch that had they continued they wouldn't still be there. Or at least they wouldn't be leaving her feeling unfulfilled.
It wasn't until Kojak came over and rested his head on the loveseat near her foot that Max came back into some semblance of reality. She blinked several times and looked around the apartment, realising that Jesse really had gone out for a walk.
Even though it was just her and Kojak she tugged down on her skirt before standing shakily and making her way back to the bedroom. Something told her she needed to get out of the uniform by the time Jesse got back. And perhaps a shower would help too, to get rid of the heat.
Max stripped down quickly and grabbed her pajamas, noting that she'd thankfully brought along bottoms this weekend. She didn't always.
The semi-cold water of the shower helped, as did completely lathering up and washing over the spots Jesse had gripped. If she could get rid of the feel of phantom fingers, maybe she could bring herself down more, which she had to do before he got back. It was a must.
Fifteen minutes later Max stepped out, cold and dripping wet. She toweled off and put on her baggy tshirt and boxers, then went back into the bedroom. She sat down on the edge of the bed and started braiding her hair, trying her hardest not to think about what had just happened.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 21:29:25
Quietly, Jesse returned to the room. He opened and closed the door with barely a sound. Max wasn't on the loveseat anymore, and the movie was still paused.
He hoped, sincerely hoped, that she hadn't gone and done something silly like strip down and hide herself away in his bed for his discovery upon return. Because he'd never stop then.
But the place was filled with the smell of warm water and soap, and it was returning some rather perverted thoughts to his mind. Alleviated only when he stepped around the half wall to the bedroom to find her sitting there, fully clothed (in pajamas, but still completely covered).
He breathed a sigh of relief. Leaned against the wall.
"Sorry I took so long."
Jesse moved to the other bed and sat down, facing her.
"I think it might be best," He paused to consider. "If we talked about this."
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 21:42:39
Talk about it? Max had just done everything to get rid of what she'd been feeling, and he wanted to rehash? She tied off her last braid, and then looked at him nervously. There was a concsious effort not to chew on her lip.
"Probably," she said finally after thinking about it for a few moments. He was right. "'m sorry, didn't mean to push it that far."
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 21:49:37
His face softened and he shook his head. "No, darlin. No. It wasn't your fault, love."
Jesse moved toward the edge of the bed. "Don't you go feelin bad about what happened just because I made us stop. I had to. You just got no idea how bad I want you, baby girl. God help me, but I spent a good ten minutes just cursing my self control."
He closed his eyes, trying not to conjure up the mental images of what had gone on between them on the loveseat.
"You feel right to me. You fit into me perfect, just like you said. But this is a promise I really think needs keeping. For a lot of reasons. For us, and reasons outside of us. And I certainly don't want you to think I'm the kind of guy to lie about things to get what I want. And that's sort of what it makes me into, if we went ahead and did....that... before May. Call it stupid pride, but it's a part of me."
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 22:05:49
"S'not stupid," Max said softly, glancing down again. She understood, but that didn't mean she had to like it. "It's just... a long time."
Before tonight, when she'd been naive and mostly nerves at even the thought of sex, it hadn't seemed to matter so much. Now, well she still pretty much naive about the subject, but they'd done plenty to eliminate the nerves.
She supposed it was time to start working on her own self control, because if Jesse hadn't stopped she wouldn't have.
"I wouldn't think you were a liar if we did, but you're right mostly. I just don't know if I can," she paused, considering her words. "You're gonna make me feel like that all the time now, y'know."
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 22:10:13
He laughed a bit. "Do I know? Are you kidding me? You and your little skirt and your hair twirling? What did you think I was talking about when I said that was killing me, hm?"
Jesse stood and moved to the other bed, where she sat. Feeling it was safe now.
"Darlin." He gathered her into his arms, bringing her close. "I don't mind the wait. It gives me time to get to know every other part of you. And while, yes, I might get frustrated now and again, and I can't rightly promise that we won't have a repeat of tonight, I think we should do our best. To wait." He grinned. "Besides, I've got ammo to drive you crazy now. How can I resist months of using it?"
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 22:22:17
"You use too much ammo and I'm not making any promises on my self control," Max said, the corner of her mouth turning up a bit as she allowed herself to lean cautiously into his arms.
It was comfortable, and slowly she untensed slightly. They wouldn't be fooling around anymore. Not tonight. "Okay, we wait. I'll try, at least. Every other part of me looks forward to getting known in the mean time. But once you're done with that, you're mine. So you'd better make it last." She was smiling now, looking up at him.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 22:25:28
He kissed the top of her head. "Warning acknowledged."
Jesse sat up a bit. "So, continue with movie night, or call it quits and try to get some sleep? Either way I think I need a cold shower before."
They could do this. He had faith in them. There were boundries, and maybe they'd play around awful close to the borders, but they could keep from crossing over before the time had come.
Or. So he told himself.
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 22:35:33
"Sleep. Please." On cue, Max yawned. She wasn't faking; the night had ended up being more exhausting than she'd expected. Intense emotion tended to do that to a person. "We've got tomorrow to finish the movies too."
She scooted off of him and onto the bed, moving up towards the headboard. "I'll wait for you here."
She wasn't sure how this was going to work tonight, but whatever the sleeping arangements ended up being, she figured Jesse would know what he was doing.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/03/2006 22:38:53
He nodded and scooted off the bed. The pajama bottoms he'd found previously were crumpled on the floor near the foot of the bed, because normally he slept nude. But. That wasn't really something to share right now.
The shower he took was quick, just a get clean, plain cold water, calming down sort of thing. He even made sure to keep his hair from getting wet so that he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Sleepily, he crawled into the bed next to max.
"Come on." He lay on his back. "Curl up with me."
From: [info]i_assist Date: 02/03/2006 23:05:07
She didn't hesitate, if he thought it was alright then yes, she would. Max rolled over close to him and snuggled in against his chest. After two weeks if sleeping next to him she could easily move into her favored comfortable position.
"Do we have enough control to kiss each other goodnight?" she asked. A yawn slipped out at the end, and she smiled tiredly.
From: [info]i_seekgod Date: 02/04/2006 18:51:07
In answer, Jesse manuvered them both so he could kiss her softly. When he didn't immediately feel the need to flip her over and molest her wildly, he smiled. "Yeah. I think we do."
He settled back into the pillow.
Jesse hugged her tightly, relaxed and happy to be here. Happy that he didn't feel a need to send her home early.
