[he doesn't have to answer with words, when he could just return her kiss. his hand lifts to her cheek]

[tenebraecious]

[her eyes flutter shut, putting a hand on his chest then carefully pulling away. she tilts her head forward to press against his]

We ought to behave ourselves . . .

[light, no conviction in her words]

[mind_blown]

Who says this is misbehaving?

[there's a lightness in his voice, and just the slightest of grins on his face, his other hand going to grip her hand on his chest, and he leans forward for another kiss]

[tenebraecious]

[too quick for a protest to even form for her, going along with Jay's lead and pressing up a little further]

[mind_blown]

[it was the perfect setup, honestly. and he's got the leverage to pull her closer for the kiss. he's going slow for now.]

[tenebraecious]

[taking her time as well, now that they aren't caught up in a game or having to figure anything out between them. just enjoying the sensations and exploring, small noise of satisfaction]

[mind_blown]

[honestly, it's better when it isn't a game. but he's going to deepen the kiss, taking the lead on this, if she'll let him]

[tenebraecious]

[absolutely okay with that, winding her other arm up to place her hand on the back of his neck, feeling the nape of his neck, the short hairs and muscles bunched there]

[mind_blown]

[despite the paleness, at least he's warm.

or maybe she's warm. and he's just leeching heat off of her, either is possible. but for now, he brushes her hair back and lightly tests running his tongue along her lips]

[tenebraecious]

[her cheeks are certainly hot, if nothing else, and catching her breath slightly before chasing the kiss again, not as slow as before]

[mind_blown]

[he notes that, and leans forward more, slowly pushing her back, but not letting the kiss break. his other hand crosses over her lap, resting on the bed beside it]

[tenebraecious]

[follows the motion with a soft, oh, and carefully breaking apart to consider him while she's laying down, chest lightly rising and falling . . . then smiling]

Do not over exert yourself. You were injured.

[mind_blown]

I know.

[there's a soft grin there.]

I'll be careful.

[and that was this morning, this is now. and then he closes the distance between their lips again]

[tenebraecious]

Oh, certainly.

[reaching her arms up, going around his neck, and having reset herself to a slower pace now]

[mind_blown]

[he hasn't reset, at least not yet. he immediately deepens the kiss, resting his bodyweight close to her, now that he can]

[tenebraecious]

[what a good parkour teacher who knows not to lay on her. but following his pace, shifting from cautiously eager to more confident, and letting her hands roam slightly. she also brings one leg up slightly, knee resting against him]

[mind_blown]

[well, he needs to be considerate, if he's corrupting this good girl. his hand moves to slide up her thigh, exploring just lightly, and not immediately making any move to shift clothing off just yet]

[tenebraecious]

[she rises to that touch, shifting to make it easier with a soft exhale. then, her hands experimentally dig into his clothes, grounding herself while pulling him closer]

[mind_blown]

[and then his fingers hook under her nightgown, and his hand rests against her skin, pushing it up, as he lets himself be pulled closer to her, his skin starting to warm up to her touch]

[tenebraecious]

[shifting to glance down at that, then relaxing again with a breathless laugh into the kiss. she moves her hands up further, running fingers through his hair to keep her arms out of the way]

[mind_blown]

[if she's going to try to keep her hands out of the way, he's going to pull her night shirt up further, past her hips, pulling away from the kiss just to do that]

Hey.

[look, he's even a little amused at how she seems to be having fun right then?]

[tenebraecious]

[chasing with one brief kiss before letting him go buuut not going to let go of him just yet. she beams at him while flushed, trying to be coy and dignified]

Hello. You aren't planning to have only me disrobed, are you?

[mind_blown]

Well, I wasn't planning, to be fair.

[he he's teasing. but also, recognizes that he's more difficult to undress]

But if you want, I'll strip down for you.

[tenebraecious]

Please, after you.

[she pulls her hands away, one goes above her head (black), the other goes to her breast. go for it, boy wonder]

[mind_blown]

[this is actually-- interesting. he pulls back and shrugs off his jacket first-- it's easy enough. and then his gloves, and the bindings that were under them.

when the bindings are gone, the scars on his right arm are more obvious-- a distinct line on both sides of his forearm.

but he doesn't pause, and pulls his shirt off in one smooth motion, tossing that aside.

and now the scars all over his torso are much more obvious. there's the deep red scars on his chest and shoulder that are very obviously new. but there are many faded scars-- most notably burn scars.

but he doesn't linger away from her for long, leaning back over her]

I think that's about 50%.
