it's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes (closed to Jo)

continued from here.

"That's very merciful of you." He dug his room key out of his pocket as they walked down the hallway, and finally reached the room number that was his. "Now remember, you said no peeking," he warned, giving her a narrow-eyed look, hands poised to unlock and open the door.

"Why on earth would it be a bad thing?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at her as he sat up enough to tug her shirt up and off of her body. "Well, aside from the fact that you're utterly wicked, but I don't mind that quite so much."

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure someone would think it is." She shrugged one shoulder casually before sitting up so that he could pull her shirt off, revealing the light blue lacy bra underneath. "I'm starting to get that you rather enjoy the whole wicked thing."

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"A bloke would have to be mentally damaged not to enjoy it, I think," he admitted with a snicker, dropping her shirt to the floor in front of the couch, and since it seemed only fair (and he was already up) he tugged his own shirt up and over his head to let it join hers on the floor.

"Well, maybe if they've taken one too many hits to the head..." Her eyes dropped to the sight of his naked torso and she smiled in appreciation. Since he was still leaning up, she took advantage of the position; sliding her fingers over his chest, she teased her nails against his skin.

"Admittedly that has happened to me a few times," he remarked, letting her hand wander for a moment before he caught it gently and tugged it to his lips to press a kiss to the inside of her wrist.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"It's happened to us all." She replied, watching as he caught her hand to stop her wandering. Her eyes softened for a moment as he pressed a kiss to the inside of her wrist, causing her pulse to flutter once more.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"Has it? Well, that makes me feel a bit better about it." He smiled against her skin, then stretched out over her again, kissing her lips and treading one hand through her hair.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you should have been there when I got this one concussion..." Not that she was at all interested in telling him the story. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she allowed herself to melt a little as she kissed him back with another low hum of pleasure.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

He would've been happy to swap stories with her, but his blood supply wasn't really running to his brain, currently, at least not in full.

"I'll hear about it later," he murmured against her lips, letting his free hand run down to trace over the soft skin and curves of her body.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"Okay." She certainly wasn't going to complain. Sliding her hands over his shoulders, she shivered and arched into his touch. Maybe he had been innocent in the beginning but he was a fast learner since he seemed to know exactly how to make her shiver now.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

Well, he hoped he was learning, it wouldn't be at all fun to always be hopelessly clueless.

Shifting a little further down her body, he pressed his lips to the swell of her breast, nuzzling the soft skin that peeked out above the line of light blue lace. His hand paused to cup her other breast, thumb gently tracing over the firm curve of flesh constrained in that very pretty lace.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

Oh, he certainly wasn't clueless anymore.

Another shiver rolled through her as he continued to tease her. She couldn't really recall someone ever being so gentle and tender with her but that seemed to be his way. Watching with a small smile, she curled her fingers around the back of his head, toying with his hair as she enjoyed his ministrations.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

Well, he was certainly glad that she thought so.

Leaning up a little, he nudged the strap of her bra down and off of her shoulder, kissing the newly exposed skin. "Do you mind?" he asked, shifting to slip his arms around her and find the clasp of her bra at her back.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"Not at all." She smirked, arching up a little so that he would have an easier time with the clasp.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

It took him a second, but he managed to get the clasp undone. He slipped the straps down and off her shoulders and laid the bra down on the floor with her shirt. Rather than continuing his downward path, he leaned over her again, keeping most of his weight off of her but pressing close enough to feel her bare skin against his.

Sliding her hands over his back, she pressed a little closer as well, enjoying the feel of his frame against her own. Pressing a kiss against the curve of his neck, she nuzzled him softly. "Have I ever told you how good you feel?"

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"Do you know, I think you've neglected to mentioned that." He smirked a little, threading his fingers tenderly through her hair, tracing the curve of her cheek with his thumb. "Though since I've neglected to mention the same thing I suppose we're even."

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"I think we're making up for it." She smirked against his skin, pressing another kiss to the spot behind his ear.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"That's a lovely thought," he murmured, ducking his head to resume kissing a path down her neck and chest, one hand trailing up her body to cup her breast. "I'll take it."

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"I'll take it too." She replied breathlessly, arching into his hand.

Sex, Alistair was discovering (and not without some measure of amusement in said discovery), wasn't all that different from fighting. Pay attention to your opponent's every move and reaction, counter as necessary, turn weaknesses to your advantage. Same principle, really. He paid attention to reactions and reacted appropriately, brushing the backs of his fingers across the peak of one breast while he ducked his head and swept his tongue across the other, feeling the skin tighten, the little goosebumps raise automatically all along her skin.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

She didn't mind that he compared sex to fighting because she could certainly look at it the same way, especially since it was working so well for him. Her breath shuddered as his tongue swept across her breast, causing her nipple to tighten further and goosebumps to rise up. She squirmed, feeling the heat start to grow between her legs as she shifted against him, her fingers still wandering to caress his skin wherever she could reach.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

He felt the way she squirmed against him and picked up fairly quickly on what she needed. He let his hand slide down her body to unbutton and unzip her pants, shifting to tease her other breast with his mouth as his fingers slid inside her panties to find her sex with a careful, testing touch.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

She moaned his name ever so softly, shifting her legs further apart to give him easier access as she rocked her hips to get closer to his fingers. Tilting her head back, she strained to catch her breath as she closed her eyes and tightened her fingers around his shoulders as though he were the anchor keeping her there.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

Fascinated by her reactions, his slid his fingers through her slick heat until he found the little bud of nerves, the pads of his fingers massaging the sensitive area with a delicate touch. He pressed a kiss to the hollow of her breasts, then further up until he found her neck again, pressing harder, more heated kisses to the long, exposed column of her throat, lightly scraping his teeth across her skin, repeating things she'd done to him that he'd enjoyed.
