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.

Her own heart was racing rather hard, so hard that she thought it might actually burst out of her chest. Settling against him, she brushed her fingers against his chest in a lazy caress as she relaxed against him as well. She was more than sated at the moment, so much so that she was sure she'd start purring if she was a cat.

The same thought occurred to him, that all that was missing was her purring and kneading his skin with claws. He hummed softly in amusement at his own thoughts, tipping his head to hide a smile against the top of her head.

"Penny for your thoughts?" She smiled, tilting her head back to take a peek at him.

"You're like a little kitty cat," Alistair replied with a slight smile, though his voice was barely above the level of a slur. "All curled up and purring."

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"I have good reason to be purring." She pointed out in a soft tone, sounding drained and husky.

He smirked a little, reaching up to run his fingers gently through her hair. "Is that so?"

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"You might have something to do with it." She teased, pressing another light kiss to his chest.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"Just a bit, perhaps?" He chuckled softly, continuing to run his fingers lightly through her hair, separating the tangles.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"Probably more than a bit." She admitted with a chuckle, her eyes drifting closed again as he continued to play with her hair.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"Hm? Well, possibly." He was still smirking a little as she settled back in, his fingers keeping up the steady pressure across her scalp and gentle teasing through her hair.

Yes, if she could, she really would be purring right about now. Letting out a little sigh, she listened to the sound of his heartbeat going steadily beneath her ear. It wasn't long before she found herself drifting with a content little smile.

Alistair let himself drift for a while, but eventually he woke up with a bit of a crick in his neck. Yawning, he shifted Jo in his arms and picked her up with ease, rather sleepily carrying her to the bed instead.

"I can walk." She mumbled a little bit but she certainly didn't mind being carried. There was something kind of sweet about it and it made her melt a little as she let him continue.

"No point in both of us walking," he murmured back to her, carefully laying her down on the bed and all but plopping onto the mattress beside her.

"And I seriously don't think I could carry you." She chuckled, shifting onto her side so that she could wrap an arm around his middle.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"I am a bit on the heavy side," Alistair quipped, yawning and tugging her close enough to snuggle.

[buy-me-dinner.livejournal.com]

"Probably best to let you do the carrying." She agreed, snuggling into his side as she battled back a small yawn.

[its-not-tuesday.livejournal.com]

"My pleasure," he replied around another yawn, running his fingers lightly up and down her back.

She gave him a little nuzzle in response because her mind was covered with the foggy need for sleep. She was gone a couple moments later.
