Okay, let's try this flower thing again. Granted I'm not in the best shape after my, well, Omega's fight, but I look good enough for this. And I feel pretty good. Everyone's been quiet, I think their night out burnt them out on the idea of being in charge for any length of time. Which works for me because I don't need to police them as much. Seriously, that shit gets old.
Besides, I feel like I owe her something nice after all of that. It's a hell of a way to find out your boyfriend has voices in his head. So I've got flowers - nicer than the last bouquet - and a bottle of a wine that I know she likes. I can do this. For her, I can do this. Shit, I even put on a nice shirt and jacket thing. Hell, I can't even remember the last time the Director wore anything other than a uniform.
Smoothing things down and hiding the bruises on my knuckles with the flowers, I reach out to knock on her door.

no subject
Date: 2014-09-30 06:04 am (UTC)So fucking close. I think I almost had it. Someday, I swear to fucking God, I'll get this flower thing right. "It's not a big deal, just some back alley fight, won a bit of cash, thought I'd spend most of it on you." I enter her apartment, trying to smooth things over before she asks too many questions. Granted, she knows about the others now, but I'm pretty sure she'll still freak out if she finds out I'm letting them out a bit. Especially Omega. And let's be honest, I probably shouldn't have done it to begin with but I'm starting to feel sorry for them a bit.
no subject
Date: 2014-09-30 06:44 am (UTC)He's still holding the flowers, and she fully intends to thank him properly for them, but addressing this is more important right now. Saffron goes over to Church and reaches up to cup his cheek gently with one hand. "There's something you're not telling me," she says, because she can't imagine he'd just up and do something like this for the hell of it. "What's really going on?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-02 04:56 am (UTC)So I just shrug my shoulders while I head further inside, looking for a place to put the flowers because obviously they were probably a waste tonight. "It's not a big deal, so don't freak out, but Omega's been pissy so I found him a fight so he could blow off some steam. He wiped the floor with some punk and now he's happy. Well... happy for him, he doesn't really do happy, but you get the idea." He's quiet, which was the whole idea.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-02 05:18 am (UTC)"You know, it's real irritating not being able to kick someone's ass because they're in my boyfriend's body," she says, hands going to her hips. "I"m not going to freak out, I'm just - still trying to figure out how this all works. I know you have to keep Omega in check, I just want you to be safe."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-03 04:01 am (UTC)Tossing the flowers on a nearby surface, I turn to place my hands on her cheeks. "I promise, I'm totally safe. This is my body, remember, and the others totally outnumber him. Hell, the twins usually keep him busy just fine on their own, this was just... I dunno. I felt bad for him. It can't be easy being made of pure anger, you know?"
Except... maybe I feel like I'm lying a little bit because Omega's not the only one that's still seething over what we found in that place. And maybe, just maybe, letting him beat someone up is like me beating them up, too. MAYBE.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-03 04:40 am (UTC)Placing her hand over his, she turns her head briefly to kiss his palm. "Okay," she concedes. "Just remember I'm here for you, if you need me. Maybe you wouldn't want to spar with me, but if you ever need to talk, or - I don't know, anything. I may not understand all of it just yet but you're not alone in this, not anymore."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-03 05:14 am (UTC)Except that's kind of what I'm afraid of. Everyone who gets involved in this Freelancer shit gets killed or at the very least scarred for life. I don't want her to end up like North, shot in the back 'cause he was watching the the wrong person's. And the fact that there's someone out there who's read up on the project, who knows that I exist and what I am scares the shit out of me. They could try and make it work and aren't I just the perfect guinea pig. Practically Alpha already.
"We're all fine in here, you don't need to worry about us. And now that they're all placated, can I go back to pretending to be a decent boyfriend? I get points for actually getting the flowers here this time, right?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-03 05:39 am (UTC)Raising onto her toes, she stretches up to kiss him. "Thank you very much for the flowers, they're gorgeous. And the wine. That was very thoughtful of you."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-06 04:45 am (UTC)"Thank you." I push everything else aside for the moment and kiss my girlfriend, pulling her close to make sure I do a good job of it. Which is how this night was supposed to start. Finally. Jesus Christ, can I catch a break today?
"I owed you the flowers and I get to drink the wine, unless you're not planning on sharing?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-06 05:27 am (UTC)She snags another kiss before pulling back and going to get the bouquet from the table. "I'm just going to put these in some water," she says. "And then maybe we can open up that wine, unless you've got something else in mind?"
no subject
Date: 2014-10-17 04:17 am (UTC)"I've got no plans, sweetheart." And whatever plans I did have almost got burned the second she opened the door so... better not to have any. I mean, it's not like my plans have great track record, but I'm still alive so that's something right? And I'm in the door, which is not something that I expect to happen on a regular basis and yet still happens.
no subject
Date: 2014-10-17 04:57 am (UTC)It only takes her a minute to put the flowers in a vase with water, and she sets it in the center of her dining table, taking a few moments to arrange them prettily. Taking a step back to admire her work and Church's excellent taste in bouquets, she turns and goes over to him, tilting her face up to look at him as she wraps her arms around his waist. "I'll make us some dinner and we can just take it easy."
no subject
Date: 2014-10-20 02:19 am (UTC)"You don't have to cook, we could just order in. I don't want you to go out of your way." I didn't really come here to make her work on anything for me, I just wanted to do something nice for her. You know, since we lost the flowers last time.
I kiss her forehead and pull her closer, "You should just relax tonight."

Date: 2014-10-24 04:15 am (UTC)"C'mere, then, we'll chill out on the couch, listen to some music for awhile." I gently guide her over to the sofa, hoping she's in the cuddling mood. Not to sound like a puss or anything, but I could use a little extra comfort these days. I'm still a little unsettled from everything. We all are.

Date: 2014-10-26 07:15 am (UTC)Yeah, that's never a good sing, right? What the fuck did I do now? But I play it cool, or, you know, cool for me I guess. "Oh, really? What?"
It's kind of lame, but what else am I going to say while I'm putting my arm around her. Not really anyplace else I can go with it. Or would since she's practically on top of me, a position she knows I'm more or less helpless in when it comes to the things she wants.

Date: 2014-10-27 04:49 am (UTC)"Shit, you, too?" I must have just missed Helen if she was at the coffee shop, too. Man, what a mind-fuck. "I gotta say, I'm used to weird shit, but that's weirder shit than usual." My face, my voice, well, kind of, but seriously, dude's even got my name, not that I go by Leonard here, but it's still... weird.
"He seemed... nice, I guess. In a freaking weird kind of way."

Date: 2014-11-02 07:13 am (UTC)"Ran into him today, actually." Not that it's something I'm thinking about a lot because, dude, it's so weird. "Not really such a big deal, I mean, he's not me." I've got enough splinter mes running around already, he's just... a weird Halloween costume of a person.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-05 06:58 am (UTC)She cups his cheek with one hand. "I sure as hell wouldn't do this with him, for one thing," she murmurs against his lips before kissing him.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-14 03:53 am (UTC)Dear God, I hope not because that's a boner-kill if I've ever heard one. Not that I have one right now, but it totally would be. It's just so freaky to think about, someone with my face, maybe some of my tastes? Shit, I don't want to think about that, I'll never stop and that's sure as hell not a way to spend a night. I came here for something different, after all.
And honestly, she keeps kissing me like this, I might get what I wanted. Well part of it, I'm not a total jerk, I do like spending time with her without clothes on. But you know what? fuck it, I keep kissing her as I slowly back her up against the nearest wall, working my way down her neck and finding the places I know she likes as my hands work their way over the gorgeous curves of her ass.
"Feel like working up an appetite before we get to the wine?"

Date: 2014-11-15 02:24 am (UTC)Kissing her again, harder maybe, trying to get her motor running as hot as mine's starting to. I run a hand up her back until I read her hair, running my fingers into it so I can gently pull her head back to give me more access to her neck. All I focus on is her, how she smells, how she tastes, and those little sounds she makes when I find something she likes. I can't even explain what she does to me, how glad I am that she didn't completely freak out when she heard about everything.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-15 04:58 am (UTC)Words seem like too much of an effort, so she just hums softly as he presses her back against the wall, his lips on hers before they travel down to her neck again. Saffron pushes forward against him with her hips, her hands sliding up beneath his shirt as his find their way under her dress.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-16 01:06 am (UTC)Doesn't take much for me to get the hint and I pull away long enough to unbutton and strip the shirt off. One less thing for me worry about later and as I go back to kissing Helen, my finger find the fastenings to her dress so I can undo them and feel the skin of her back against my palms. Sure I could just leave it on and fuck her against this wall, but where's the fun in that? I want access to every inch of her skin while I fuck her against this wall. Guy's gotta have some standards, right?
no subject
Date: 2014-11-16 02:50 am (UTC)Her hands roam over his bare torso while she drags her lips down his neck to his collarbone. She leaves a little love bite before continuing along, pressing kisses to his chest as her hands move down to the waistband of his pants.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-17 07:06 am (UTC)I groan, placing my palms on the wall behind Helen as she works her way down my chest. Yeah, this night's turning out alright, even though I know she can see the bruises on my chest from the fight earlier tonight. Although I am feeling no pain right now. Nope, pretty sure I don't have the blood flow to feel anything bu those sexy lips on my skin, it's all gone to where she's heading.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-17 08:01 am (UTC)She sees the bruises, and for a moment wonders if she shouldn't have added to them just now. But then something possessive rises in her as she continues kissing and licking his skin and she's glad she did. It's like Church said - this is his body, not any of theirs, and he's hers. For as long as she can have him, he's hers.
"Any sore places I should avoid?" she murmurs, her touch feather-light as she skims her fingers across a bruise on his side over his ribs.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-22 10:38 pm (UTC)"Huh?" It takes almost a full minute for what she says to penetrate the haze of pleasure she's wrapping around me, but when it does I manage a short grimace. I really should have thought this night through a little better. "Right, just the ribs, everything else is all yours."
Reaching out, I cup her face and draw her close, kissing her long and deep. 'Cause it's true, I know when I'm beat, well, most the time, but I haven't just lost myself with someone else since... Alison. Which technically wasn't - fuck it, close enough. I love her and for a minute I don't know if I'm talking about Alison or Helen.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-23 12:02 am (UTC)"Got it," she murmurs, and then everything fades away as he kisses her and she melts against him. She hums softly, her hands roaming over his skin, skimming carefully past his ribs on their way down to start unfastening his pants. She wants all his clothes gone, so there's nothing blocking her from full access to his body.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-23 06:25 am (UTC)"Now you, sweetheart." I reach for her, cupping her ass before I slide my hands inside her underwear, pushing it off over her hips, sliding my fingers between her legs to tease her, see if I can't make her shiver, moan and shake.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-23 07:08 am (UTC)With the rest of Church's clothing gone, Saffron reaches behind her to unfasten her bra and tosses it aside before going to help him with the removal of her underwear. But she stops, her breath catching as his fingers find their way between her thighs. Her palms curl around his arms as she moans softly, and she's sure he can feel just how badly she wants him.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-24 03:59 am (UTC)I rub her a little, smiling when she moans, feels good to know I can do that to a woman like her. God knows the kind of life she's led, the lovers she's had. I'm not so stupid as to not have noticed the marks when we were first getting together, but now she's with me and I'm pretty damn sure it's just me. I suck at her neck, marking her like she did me before I dip, picking her and pushing her back against the wall and pulling her legs behind my back.
I'm hard as fuck and it's not long before I'm inside of her, groaning from the god-awful pleasure of her, hot, wet and tight. "Fuck you feel good, sweetheart. Gonna make you feel good, too."
no subject
Date: 2014-11-24 05:14 am (UTC)She wraps her legs around him as he lifts her, moaning soft and needy at the incredible feeling of him pushing into her. "You feel amazing," she breathes, sliding her hands over his shoulders, up the sides of his neck. "And you always make me feel amazing." She wants to return the favor, to get him more turned on by her than he's ever been by anyone, and she pushes her hips down against him, worrying her bottom lip.
no subject
Date: 2014-11-27 06:05 am (UTC)As much as I want to rush this, I won't. Maybe it's a little masochistic, but waiting always works better. I rush into plenty of things, hell, sometimes I feel like I rushed into this relationship, but this I always try to take slow. At least to begin with. So after I remember how to breathe again, I slide my hips slowly, in and almost all the way out before repeating the process, over and over again.
I'm holding her up, hands on her ass, squeezing it a little as we move while my lips find her neck and her chest. "So good, baby."
no subject
Date: 2014-11-27 05:50 pm (UTC)She moans again and manages to gasp, "You're gonna make me come so hard," as she feels herself building gradually towards the inevitable.
