Owl to Daisy (closed RP)

[methleigh]

Severus writes the note very carefully in his patriotic green ink, with additional flourishes and thin double lines on the major stanchions of the letters. He pauses several times to ensure it is worded properly.

Dearest Daisy

Comments

[methleigh]

Is she...

"I love you." His voice and breath are hot. She must be able to feel him, pressed against him as she is. "Not just this. Not just."

Is she...

Really?

Severus closes his eyes as his hands are moved over her softness. Over her body; can he say that? He makes sure his hands are very gentle, his fingers relaxed, his thumbs feeling more as they run over the delicious curves, the silk. And then higher. Oh, Merlin. Her breasts. Carefully respectful, he inhales deeply himself. It must be invitation. She must not mind, must want him to... Slowly he takes them, his eyes still closed. He feels their weight, presses them very gently. His hands are full. The first time, he wants just to feel them, to know through his fingers, to remember, to savour that feeling. Wary of presumption he avoids her nipples scrupulously. Should he guide her hand to his? Is that more, is it less - too much, too little?

Opening his eyes again he smiles back into hers. His lips part and there is a shared moment of quiet, just being together. "It's wonderful."

[daisy_inthesun]

Daisy giggles quietly, and runs her hands over Severus' bare chest. "You're wonderful." She kisses him forcefully, enough to lay him back down on the bed while she leans her chest on his. She takes one of Severus' hands again and kisses his palm before resting it on the side of her face.

"I have not been this happy in a long while, Sev. And it's all due to you." She leans forward and kisses him again. She tilts her head, to lie in the crook of his neck, and rests her hand on Severus' stomach, closing her eyes.

[methleigh]

"I can be happy, too. Really happy." He says this with a small amount of wonder, after the little shiver from the light touch of her perfect fingertips. "Due to you."

He loves the feeling of her head at his neck. Quietly, bravely, he takes her hand and moves it, stroking it with a scarce touch over his chest, even his nipples, his stomach again, with the sensitive little belly button with which he secretly likes to play. He leaves it there on the point of his pelvic bone. He cuddles her close then, her head supported in his hand and whispers. "It's all right?"

[daisy_inthesun]

She tilts her head up, when he mentions his happiness. Because of her? Daisy is unaccustomed to praise. It is usually her beauty that is being awed, or her house, or her family; never her alone, never because of emotion. If anything, it is emotions that draw people away from her. When Severus leads her hand, she does as he wants her to faithfully, pressing small kisses to his chest and neck.

When he questions her, Daisy answers Severus with a soft kiss to the lips, as she runs her hand against his hipbone. Her heartbeat is pounding through her chest, and she is sure Severus can feel it. For once, it seems she is more nervous than he.

[methleigh]

Severus can hear Daisy's chest beating, and his own is hammering as well. Maybe they should just rest a moment. He still does not want to make any assumptions. He presses down the shyness that she is surely able to feel... him. He holds her quietly a moment, kissing her face softly, not just her mouth, but her cheeks, her brows, the edge of her hair, feeling with his lips. Quietly. Softly.

"It feels good. It all feels good." He brushes the outside of her breast with his thumb, a light touch, shivery against the silk and silken skin.

[daisy_inthesun]

Daisy smiles, feeling a little tingle below her bellybutton when Severus touches her. "Well, Sev, what did you expect it to be? Painful? It's supposed to feel good. It's supposed to feel beyond what you think is good. Not only supposed to, it does feel that way." She breathes to him, unable to raise her voice above a deeper whisper.

She slides her hand slightly out of Severus' reach, and with her forefinger, skims the top of his pants slowly. After a moment, she returns her hand under Severus'. She tilts her gaze up to his face, to see what he does, and giggles quietly. "Sweety, I love you. Probably more than I've loved anyone. And when I'm with you, it kind of makes me wish nothing had happened to me before this." She pauses, placing a kiss to Severus' lips, "Sometimes I wish that you were my first time too." Her face turns bright red and hot to the touch.

[methleigh]

"It feels beyond what I think is good." He repeats in a whisper, smiling and nestling. "I don't know that I've ever smiled so much." He hasn't; he rarely smiles. When she touches the top of his drawers his lips part; his eyes crinkle. Despite his shyness, he wants these delicious teasing touches. She is touching his drawers.

With her hand beneath his, he takes it and kisses her fingertips slowly. He imitates her then - it is a way to know what is all right. Reaching around, he traces the elastic at the outside of the leg of her panties, slipping his finger beneath for a second. Knowing they are pink, he blushes.

There is her soft breast, against his chest. His fingers curl a little stiffly, barely knowing they are allowed, then he softens them and gently strokes it again, delicately. This time he has chosen himself to do this, unguided. He is so shy and tentative.

Then he turns back to her, and the security of holding. He moves her hair across her forehead, though it doesn't need it, smiling into her eyes. Too? It is his first time? They will...? Oh, Daisy. Daisy. And she called him 'sweet.' "Darling, this has never happened to you before. Is it your first time with someone who has never done this? Maybe that is a first time, and it is the first time with me."

Dare he address it? Oh, he is so daring. But his voice is low and gentle as he strokes her hair.

[daisy_inthesun]

Daisy bites her bottom lip playfully and grins when Severus sneaks under her panties, happy that he is not only touching her, but comfortable enough to do it without her permission. "Yes, I suppose it's fair to say it's my first time... with you. And it's extremely special."

She rests her head against his chest, tracing random patterns against his skin with her finger. After a moment, she quickly sits up, shaking her head. "Oh my, I'm terrible! I mean, if you want it to be your first time. It doesn't have to be now, it can be whenever you want." She pulls her knees to her chest, shaking her head, and blushing crimson. "I'm so stupid sometimes."

[methleigh]

Startled, Severus retracts his hands and arms as she rises. He sits up next to her, the sheet clutched instinctively by his bony curled fingers at his collarbone. He is also red, ready to be ashamed. Had he done something foolish? How can it be his first time, at 37? Thank goodness he has stored enough virgin's blood and virgin's... essence... to serve him indefinitely, to keep him if ever something further should happen here. No, he must speak to her, somehow reassure her, let her know he knows what he is doing nevertheless, how he wants this, how he wants... her. Wanting has always been folly, and at that thought there is a slight tremour of the clenched hand again. Does she need reassurance?

"Daisy," He takes a breath slowly and makes himself relax again, the other hand moving to touch her arm again. Will. "I would be honoured, touched and... enchanted. You are neither terrible nor stupid. It's all right. Really, it's all right. And look! I am now Anatomy Master as well as Potions Master."

A joke. Jokes soften things, he has been told (repeatedly.) Was that a joke?

[daisy_inthesun]

Daisy tilts her head towards Severus when he speaks, offering a small smile when he attempts a joke. Though it's not funny for her, she understands why he would think it so. She turns her whole body to face him, and pulls the sheets down from his hands. She leans forward and kisses his cheek, closing her eyes slowly along the way.

"Do something for me?" she whispers into his ear, then kisses the corner of his lips.

[methleigh]

Severus reaches out and draws her to him again, to his bare chest, even though he feels shy. "What is it, dear?" He snuggles her down into the blanket with him. When she kisses him he brushes his head against hers. He pauses a moment and then asks her rather than telling her. "Are you all right, Daisy?"

He feels a little better looking after her, making sure she is comfortable; he feels a little less at a loss.

[daisy_inthesun]

She leans back with Severus and nods, smiling a little more brightly. "I'm fine. Just a little sleepy. But," she pauses, gathering up what strength she has to ask him. Blushing, she begins to trace the random patterns on his chest again.

"W-What I want you to do is... to take off all your clothes." She mumbles her words, hoping he'll hear her and she won't have to repeat. But she elaborates, to escape being asked anyways. "I-I will too. I don't want to do anything. Just k-kind of be together with each other. Y-You can say you don't want to, and I won't be offended." She nuzzles into his chest, attempting to hide her face.

[methleigh]

Having had no idea what she might request, this seems both easier and harder. But he agrees, still shyly. This removes the nervous pressure, and at the same time makes his disrobing immediate. He has always been very private and modest. But she is nervous, so he is serious, sincere, and keeps his voice low and warm. "Of course, darling. Daisy. Okay?" He smooths the hair back from her forehead, against his chest. He isn't exactly sure why she is nervous. But maybe something is new for her. He is very gentle. "You can say you don't want to do anything either. I won't be hurt. It's all right.

He thinks of something. "I won't hurt you, I won't do the slightest thing you don't want." He hugs her close again and kisses her head. Then he obediently disentangles and shyly turns to take of his drawers. They are long, made of soft linen, reaching to his knees, with six buttons at the front. No one is embarrassing him ever again. His body is white, almost ghostly reflecting the light. When he turns back he resists the strong urge to hide himself with his hands, but looks down to the side, trying not to be embarrassed.

[daisy_inthesun]

While Severus disrobes, she pulls her slip over her head, throwing it to the floor, as well as her panties. She lies on her side, facing him, and smiling when he complies. She holds out a hand, taking his and pulling him towards her, pushing their bodies together. It has been a long while since she was this intimate with anyone, and certainly never this personal.

"I love you," she whispers and kisses Severus, shifting her body a little higher up than his. Her hands run over his shoulders and down his back, as she continues her kisses. "You did this for me, and I want to do whatever you want. This is certainly a first with me. I-I've never had to deal with feelings when it comes to sex. It's often only just for the... the physical."

[methleigh]

Coming willingly back to the relative cover of the bedclothes, Severus allows Daisy's hand to invite him, though this time there is the smooth cool cotton of sheets against him and oh! soft living skin and.... He blushes. All right. She can feel him now. And oh! He blushes more, feeling her so warm as well.

She is so good with him, so gentle and patient, and this shyness in her helps as well, lets him feel less awkward with his own. He kisses her, above him this time, so it is her neck, and a picture of cords and major blood vessels flashes through him. But it is just a flash and his lips find softness, nuzzling the hollow there. "I love you," he tells her. His voice is deep and low.

But he has to admit. "It is for me as well, because I want to be happy with you... for you to be happy with me, for it to be easy between us, and it is all new. Delight..." Oh, he is so shy saying such words. "I have feelings too, it's new to share them like this."

[daisy_inthesun]

"I am so very happy with you, Sev. I could not be happier right now." She smiles down at him, and kisses his forehead, brushing his hair back out of the way. She slides back down so they are at eye level, and leans him back on the bed; she is draped across his chest, smiling.

The friction of their skin is unbearable when she moves, and the small fire in her stomach rises again, warranting her eyes to close. But she does not want to push her luck; she already has Severus naked, and that is as far as she will go, without him to do something first. "How did I get so lucky, Sev? You are wonderful. It's a mystery to me that you have been passed over and left in pristine condition for me and me alone." She giggles, and is once again herself entirely. She is quieter for Severus' sake, but most of her nervousness is gone, and she hopes he follows in her steps.
