She laughed again at the toast taking a sip of her wine, allowing the taste of it to remind her of the kiss she had against her lips minutes ago. The scent of it filled her nose before she set her glass down at her side. She wasn't even hungry at the moment, probably the butterflies in her stomach taking up whatever space she had thought was there earlier. It didn't even matter really, she'd always gone for a run around midnight and ended up grabbing something from the kitchens, she wasn't too concerned with it at the moment
( ... )
Jim couldn't remember the last time a girl felt so good...warm, silky skin beneath his fingers as one hand ran up the center of her bare back, light and delicate and yielding as her body fitted so perfectly against his. He could feel the hints of scars and old injuries that came from a combination of delicate skin and military service, and he liked the combination. One minute she was a hardass, the next this delicious armful of warm, gently squirming female...but beneath it all was a fairly complicated person. Maybe as knotty as he was.
Maybe this *could* go past one night. At any rate, Jim would at least give it a try.
Another genuine laugh escaped him as she started walking him back towards the bed, mouth wandering eagerly over his skin.
"Obvious? Naaah...but most shit's obvious to me." Jim drawled, then at the last minute spun around and fell backwards onto the bed, dragging her down atop him before digging his fingers ticklishly into her ribs. "Like you bein' more than a little ticklish right *here*..."
Aedeline was pretty sure that she enjoyed hearing his laughter as much as he enjoyed wriggling her own out of her. It was comforting to be that at ease with him, and even though there were so many unknowns she couldn't even see them at the moment. Everything just seemed laid out in front of her, with a clarity she hadn't felt in a while. Things were usually so complicated, and this felt anything but.
He pulled her atop him, pressing a finger to her ribs making her eyes widen and her jaw agape in slight shock, before finally caving in with a fit of laughter. "Ty troop!" The slip of Russian came out of nowhere, as it usually did, and her eyes were a bit wild with fire in them as she glared at him once she had gotten a hold of his hands. "I could have thought of such a better application for those fingers, but now? Oh... you are in such big trouble
( ... )
Jim just laughed harder at her mocking threat, settling back to watch her as she calmed down, stretching out over him and regarding him with a strange look on her face...like maybe she was giving him more serious consideration. Like maybe this was a little more serious than a good time...hell, they barely knew each other, but the pretty obvious chemistry?
Maybe she wanted to change that bothersome little fact.
"Wish I knew, milaya moya," he drawled with a small smile, "but I could think of a few things. Not *all* of them involve sex, but I must admit that the ones which *do* involve sex are looking pretty good at the moment. You want a rundown?"
Jim's own slip of Russian arched Addie's eyebrow a bit before she placed a quick kiss to his mouth. Pulling back for a moment she eased back up to her seated position upon is lap, a sly smile curving into a devious smirk played on her features as her hands ran along his chest down to the buckle of his belt, tugging on the leather strap until it came loose and then undone
( ... )
Jim wanted to answer her, but being that she was busy trying to strip him down, and being a horrible tease about it, he was finding it a little difficult
( ... )
When he charged at her she shrieked in delight, barely containing her laughter for the moment as he picked her up and brought her to the bed. The playful drop created more giggles from her that were probably nearly infectious as he laughed along with her. Her sides hurt a bit from all the laughter, and as she sighed loudly trying to calm herself down a bit she inhaled deeply eyes widening in an extreme effort not to start laughing again, but still finding it a bit difficult. She went to slightly protest his request for silence, but didn't mind the interuption of his mouth to hers
( ... )
Jim made a soft sound against her skin as her fingers trailed over his arm, tracing the lines of ink along his forearm, making him smile. He liked the feel of her hands on his skin...but that innocent little touch lightened the burden of what that ink stood for, just a little. Instead of remembering everything he'd done to earn it, he could think about her touching it instead...and maybe because of that, the flaming bulldog pattern on his skin would stop being such a badge of shame, and more a badge of honor...
"Yer distractin'." he finally murmured, shifting to kiss her bare shoulder as his contented langour caused his accent to surface. "Ye got any tats? Or 'm I gonna have t' do an inspection t' satisfy my own prurient curiosity? 'Cause I so will, ye know..."
Addie grinned at his accent, rolling in his arms so that she faced him, pressing a soft kiss to his lips once again, then shifted onto her back, still liking the feel of his arm behind her neck at his fingers laced into hers slightly.
"I like being distracting, gives me something to do you know, not that that wasn't something to do, because that most definitely was something we should do more often," Addie teased in all seriousness though, of course
( ... )
Jim flinched as the alarm caught him off guard, laughing as she cursed and reached over and across him to shut off the alarm, at which point he promptly reached up to grab her around the waist and pull her flush atop him, smirking up at her.
"I say, if it's cardio you're after' if *anything* is goin' to get your heart rate up, it'd be doin' somethin' like what we just did. Again." he teased, leaning up to kiss her warmly, running a hand through her hair with a deep, contented sigh. "I mean...I ain't *surprised* you set yer alarm to remind you 'bout an evenin' run, but I believe I was warned about pointing out that stuff, so..."
His smirk was absolutely adorable looking up at her, as she was pressed against him. She rolled her eyes slightly at his suggestion for cardio, not that she wouldn't mind another go, but she could see that her routine was going to be severely off-kilter that evening. She moaned slightly into the warmth of his kiss almost forgetting that she had rolled her eyes at him mere moments ago
( ... )
Jim felt a little hopeful at that as he enfolded her in his arms, one hand running through her hair. "Yeah? No shit?" he asked with a grin, resting his chin on her head for a moment before relaxing back into the bed.
Grinning, he settled himself in comfortably, shutting his eyes. "Well...that's good, 'cause I ain't movin'. Least 'not until 0900, 'cause I got an offworld assignment about then." he declared with a smirk.
"Mmmm-Hmmm," she replied in earnest to his slightly brash statement that wasn't as brash as it could have seemed if she wasn't already slightly used to him at that point. Her own eyes were finding comfort in not opening, while her finger still traced along his chest slowly.
"0900? Do you want me to set the alarm?" she asked almost teasing with eyes still shut and a big grin on her face.
"Nah...I'm always up at seven anyway for my workout." he murmured, absently trailing his fingers along her back with another deep, far sleepier sigh. "I'll wake ya 'fore I go...y'know...so's y' don' think 'm boltin' or nothin'." he slurred drowsily.
"Mmmkay..." she barely breathed as her hand had stilled against his chest falling slowly to sleep in sync with his breathing. Aedeline hadn't been expecting it, she hadn't planned for it, and she probably barely realized it herself, but she was falling for him. Falling hard, and just being able to fall asleep without so much as a single flutter of panic or fear, was something she missed more than she had admitted to herself in a while.
Addie would eventually shift off of him, letting his arms wrap around her in their sleep, holding her beneath the top sheet from her bed. Aedeline was content, and for the first time in a while she felt good about the situation she was in.
