Room 652: Saturday Night (Private for Jim) [6-14-08]

[nomoreinnocence]

He probably thought she didn't remember. Probably thought that even if she had it wasn't something she'd do anything about.

But it was his birthday. And she'd missed so many of them..

She didn't have any idea what sort of things he'd like for his birthday, but there was one thing she knew he wanted. And had been far more than patient about

To be honest . . . Jim had forgotten it was his birthday. For a guy who knew every last detail of his environment, he wasn't entirely sure what day it was.

Which is why he was a little confused when he got home with another new book for Lana and slipped into the darkened room. "Lana?" he called, padding inside.

[nomoreinnocence]

"'M in here," she called, splashing a little so he'd know where to find her.

[junglesofperu]

Jim paused at the door without going in, knocking lightly. "I'm back?"

[nomoreinnocence]

"Good," Lana said with a smile. "C'mon in."

[junglesofperu]

"Are you alright?" Jim asked in concern, keeping his eyes averted like the gentleman he was trying to be as he stepped inside - until he saw the candles and the mood lighting, and he couldn't help but look over at her, off-balance.

[nomoreinnocence]

"Oh, I'm fine," she assured him. "Is the main door locked?"

[junglesofperu]

". . . yeah."

[nomoreinnocence]

"Good," she said with another smile. "So... put down your things and come in. I've been waiting for you."

[junglesofperu]

"I . . ." Jim wasn't about to argue. He set the book down on the vanity and started pulling off his shirt, kicking off his shoes as he did.

[nomoreinnocence]

Lana felt her heart speed up even more as he took off his shirt. She was nervous about this, but it was also something she truly wanted.

She sat up a little straighter, coming slightly out of the bubbles that had been completely hiding her body. "God, you're gorgeous," she said. "Even so much more than when we were in high school."

[junglesofperu]

Jim looked away in embarrassment, flushing a little as he slowed down on the jeans. "Well, I was a kid then . . ."

[nomoreinnocence]

She couldn't take her eyes off of him. "And you're all grown up now..."

[junglesofperu]

Unaccountably nervous, he pushed his jeans off his hips, letting them and his boxers fall to the floor so she could get the whole picture.

[nomoreinnocence]

She swallowed hard, mouth dry, eyes wide, finding it hard to catch her breath.

"God..." she whispered. "Oh, Jim..." Her tongue flickered out, wetting her dry lips.

[junglesofperu]

He walked over to her, that reaction getting a noticeable one from him, and crouched by the tub, reaching out to cup her cheek, pull her close for a kiss.

[nomoreinnocence]

"I'm yours," she whispered as she kissed him. "All yours."
