linger a little too long

[He laughs, closing his eyes, slipping an arm around her waist and getting comfortable.] Well, there is that, too. It's fun to have a secret.

... Although Ruby might have caught on. Just a heads up.

[sh_manlytears]

[His eyes widen and he starts looking like he's prepared to run away.]

No.

[Instead of tickling him, Mina steals a kiss -- and the sheet, leaving him bare on the bed as she leaps off and down the hall.]

[sh_manlytears]

Wh- Hey! [He jumps to his feet, taking off after her. He at least has the decency to try and cover himself with his hands.] That is so not fair!

[freewheeliing]

[She grins at him over her shoulder, hurrying along before ducking into the bathroom., tossing the sheets somewhere at the very last minute. She turns on the shower and peeks through the curtain.]

[sh_manlytears]

[He follows her into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.]

I don't suppose you'd like some company.

[freewheeliing]

I thought you'd never ask. [She steps aside to make room for him.]

[sh_manlytears]

[He grins and steps inside next to her, admittedly a little giddy.] Do yo still want to go to breakfast after this?

[freewheeliing]

Of course. We've got to feed the hungry beast after this.

[She steps back under the warm water, combing her hands through her hair.]

[sh_manlytears]

[He laughs softly, setting his hands on her waist.]

The beast does get hungry.

[freewheeliing]

I hope this morning's left you satiated for now.

[She kisses his chin quickly, blinking water out of her eyes.] Suppose we should get clean and not naughty.

[sh_manlytears]

Probably. [He sighs, returning her kiss.] We can always get naughty again later. Tonight?

[freewheeliing]

[She reaches for the shampoo bottle after a moment, lathering the liquid into a foam.]

I'd invite you over but - well dad is having people over for drinks. We probably shouldn't go back to your place for a while.

[sh_manlytears]

[Graham makes a face.] You're probably right. At least if we really want to be good at this whole discretion thing.

[He sighs.] I suppose I can live without your company for a night or two, though it will be very hard for me.

[freewheeliing]

Hmm.

Will a visit at work tide you over?

[sh_manlytears]

I think that might be an acceptable bargain. [He leans to kiss her softly.]

Do we have to arrive at the diner at different times so as not to appear we're going there together? Are we going that far?
