Putting the science right back in science and fun … [ Laughs, a little breathy, and — ]
[ She's still wearing her scarf. Hasn't really taken it off at all since the heart games, even with the taboo gnawing away at her quietly in the background. The thought of taking it off is like ice down her spine, but the thought of leaving it on here, now, with Donnie … that doesn't feel great. ]
[ ... ]
About - what you said earlier. That you could. If I wanted you to. [ Her hands start to wander, stroking up along his sides and back down again, dipping as low as his thighs ] Don't know if I'd be ready for that just yet, but anything up to that, I - I think I'd be willing to try.
[ What a goddamn tease She nips his opposite shoulder in pointed encouragement — or tries to, because he probably won't even feel it through his clothes. Whatever he's wearing up top gets tugged on, even as she trails her lips and teeth over to his neck instead. ]
[ ... When he says taste - ]
[ She pauses, eases out of a bite that absolutely would've left a mark without breaking the skin. Squirms a little, flustered, curious despite herself but if he means what she thinks he means, she may actually die ] Taste ...
[He's going to squirrel his hands between them to start undoing his jacket. He doesn't need clothes, its warm enough in here.]
I know. In theory, it sounds like a nightmare for me. But I think it'll work out, especially if you keep chirping like that. Turtle instincts may just win.
[ She gets in there to help him with it. Goodbye, jacket. Hello, bare skin for the marking. … Soon. First, she has to wrap her head around the idea of Donnie between her legs, and ohhhhh heck, oh hell, she has to swallow before she can get a word out. ]
I'm — I … [ Wets her lips, squirming. ] I wouldn't be able to start with that, I think ... too embarrassed. Too much thinking. But I'm not saying no, if it's something you'd wanna try.
[Off with the shirt which is really just for more warmth and who needs clothes when he's got his very eager girlfriend in bed?]
You should be in a more chirpy mood for it. Spiny Softshells like to check their potential mates are the right sex, and there's really only one reliable way to be sure. I'm going to see if that will overcome my usual sensory issues.
But being in the mood will help us both. [His hands then move to hers.]
[And then he pushes his chest against her, and moves to pin her and her arms to the bed.]
Something tells me that being in the right mood isn't gonna be a problem on my e-eh! [ DOWN SHE GOES. She blinks up at him, wide-eyed, flushed red to the tips of her ears and breathing just that bit faster. Her wrists flex — gently, testingly, just to see how much slack he's giving her. To see what he'll do, if anything, if she decides to make him work a little harder for it. ] ... end.
And here I thought I was gonna get to touch. Rude, Dokkun.
[ Those soft strokes alone are enough to make her shiver, her fingers curling and then falling loose as she relaxes back against the bed. Her lashes flutter. ]
[ Hums softly, acceptance and encouragement all in one. She can be patient while he thinks through whatever it is he has on his mind. ]
[ somehow, she manages to blush even brighter at the compliment, making a quiet squeaky sound somewhere between a chirp and a coo. w-wiggles. just a little, her wings shifting. ]
The — oh …
[ oh ]
[ OH ]
[ She stills. Not tense, just ... stunned, honestly, that he'd be willing to let her. Let her. ]
I — [ That's an insane amount of trust to put in her hands. Fuck. Her next breath shakes, but she steadies herself, meeting his eyes. ] If you're sure you're comfortable, Dee-kun. [ She has an idea of just how much that shell weighs. It's got to ache, and it'd be good for him if he could stand to wear it less often. ] But, if you're still not one hundred percent … I might have an idea. A suggestion.
[ Understanding softens her expression, which, to be fair, was already pretty damn soft. She gets it — relates to it, kind of, in her own way. ]
And I would. Stop, I mean, the split-second you tell me to. If you wanna try, I'd be honored to try with you. [ Because, honestly? Seriously, and genuinely? The very idea that he'd be willing to attempt this means the world to her. ]
... I'd also be willing to let you tie me to the bed. [ ... She wasn't totally sure about it herself until she said it outloud. Being pinned by his hands is one thing. Having his weight alone over her is one thing. Actually being tied down, though? That's ... a hell of a step. But now that the words are out there, she feels no need to walk them back. ] I'd be close - [ closer than she's ever been while he's had his battleshell off ] - but you'd be in complete control the whole time.
I know you will. Hesitation is less distrust in you, its just...it can be quick. But still, I want to be close, and if its strong enough I can take it off, I want to try while I have the nerve.
Spidershell, headboard. [The arms extend out from the shell and it crawls over to lean on the wall next to the headboard of his bed. Leaving his back exposed.]
[His free hand goes to her side, the other still holding her arm down. Still tracing a slow pattern as he considers her with a lidded look.] It is an idea. How about if it gets too much, I do that? I can give voice commands to the spidershell. It could hold your hands down in an instant, we wouldn't even need to stop.
[ Her lips curve up into a smile, and if she looks like she might be completely besotted right now … Well, that's his fault. Trust Donnie to be able to wreck her right in the feelings and in the science and fun. ]
[ Slowly, she lifts her hand. Cups his cheek gently. ] Deal. [ Her smile brightens. ] Now, before I drag you down here so I can kiss you, I've got one more question.
[That sure is a face. Its soft. Its so very soft even if he can't say what exactly it is. Something positive and fond, he thinks. He'll have to make her have that face more so he can memorize it.]
[He lets out a breath and leans into her touch.] Deal. [A soft murmur, turning his head to lightly kiss her palm.]
[And then there's the chirp and his eyes widen, snapping to her.]
[What was this about dragging down? Because instead he's already swooped down to kiss her hard with a churr.]
[ At least this time she was very ready for a strong reaction. She meets him happily, eagerly, with a quiet churr of her own and a few nips. Not too hard, not yet, but they're not entirely gentle, either — more enthusiastic invitation than tease. ]
[ Playing with fire ... Maybe. She remembers what it was like before, the escalation, the push and pull until they were both so far gone they could barely think straight. But it's worth it. So worth it to have him so eager and wanting above her. She lets her hand slide around to the back of his neck, keeping him close. ]
[And he's all too eager to take that invitation. Nipping and licking into her mouth, almost like he wants to consume her with that simple call.]
[It certainly feels like he wants to. If the fact he sheds before spring, he would think he is in season. He wants her. He wants her badly and is all too eager to take every invitation she offers. Especially when she talks right to his hindbrain.]
[He kisses her deeply for several long moments, pulling back just far enough to speak, his breath trailing over her lips.] You are playing with so much fire. Keep doing that, I need to hear you agree to be willing to hit me or kick me if you want off the ride. I won't be mad, if I'm not responding rationally, I want you to. Agreed?
[ The kiss alone is enough to leave her reeling. She can't quite keep herself from whining when he breaks it, just once, quiet and quickly stifled, but she holds herself back from chasing after him. Patience. This is new to them both. And as fun as it is to direct-dial him in the instincts ... they literally just had a whole conversation about the risks. The very real, legitimate risks. ]
A-Agreed. [ She's already a little breathless. ] Hit or kick. Not bite. [ Definitely not bite, as she's learned from experience. She bites her lip softly, thumb stroking against the nape of his neck. ]
Mm... Do you wanna be able to take your time, Or ... do you wanna teach me how to say "yours?"
Definitely not bite. [He trills softly, tilting his head to the side to let her touch him more.] I want you to feel good. Amazing.
[He looks at her with a lidded look.] That is less not taking my time as working to take you apart as quickly as possible. [His hand moves lower, and slips under her shirt, hand trailing over her stomach.]
It might not be advised to make me lose it that fast right away. But I can teach you later.
[ An answering trill, light, affectionate … and playful. She takes the opportunity to kiss his cheek and along his jaw, with a gentle nip here and a teasing bite there. ]
Already do. [ Hums. ] Getting shoved up against a wall back there was a nice start. [ Risky? Yes. Potentially incredibly embarrassing? Doubly yes. Regrets? None. ] And having you here, like this … [ Trails lips and teeth down his neck, more nips than kisses now but still gentle. ] … knowing how much you want me …
[ She shivers at the cool brush of his hand along her stomach, arching slightly into the touch. ]
Feels pretty incredible. [ Another bite, harder this time — a long, lingering press of teeth over his pulse, enough to leave a mark without breaking the skin. She finally, finally dares to move her hand from his neck to his shell, a firm touch that pulls him in closer. ]
[Soft trills and churrs build in his chest under her attention, hand trailing up to interlace their fingers, squeezing her hand with affection. He shivers as he feels teeth, shifting above her.]
Hm, you do like it when I get demanding. You get this look that is so intoxicating. You look so cute....and so very inviting. [His hand trails over her skin, a slow trace over her stomach, up along her side. Further up to cup her breast, thumb feeling for her nipple through the bra.]
[His breath catches as he feels her teeth, a deep churr rumbling through his chest, squirming above her-]
[Only to freeze at the hand on his shell. He breathes in sharply and deep, a hard shudder going through him. He grips her hand a few moments, then presses closer to her.] Fuck....
Inviting, huh… Good, 'cuz I'm yours for the taking.
[ It's brand new territory for the both of them. His hand on bare skin, sliding higher, making her shiver and squirm with nervous anticipation. She isn't scared, not in the slightest; she wants this, wants to know how it'll feel, to explore it with him. But still … getting to hold his hand settles something in her, both her shoulders and wings relaxing back against the blankets. She squeezes gently in return —
And gasps softly at the first touch of his clever fingers over her bra, nipple pebbling under the brush of his thumb. She can't feel all that much through the fabric, but what she can feel is — good, definitely good, she likes that, despite that niggling little voice in the back of her head that urges her to apologise for how flat she is. ]
Good? [ Her voice drops lower, a heated whisper. She keeps her hand still for a moment, the pressure firm, consistent, letting him get used to being touched. ] B-Because you're doing amazing for me, Dokkun.
[ She arches higher, pressing up into his hand on her chest; a shudder runs through her wings. Slowly, but still firm, and only after he's moved closer to her, she strokes her hand a few inches down and then back up again while she bites her way down to his collarbone. ]
[Mine. A soft, needy chirp, over an underlying churr.]
[She just keeps inviting him in and its truly intoxicating. Overwhelming in the best way. He doesn't know why he suddenly needed her so badly, maybe it was hearing her talk about him like that. It would make sense, he does have a praise kink, it had just hit so strongly.]
[But despite that, she was here, letting him continue and he just wants to push. To explore more of her, what makes those pretty little gasps, or her voice drop, or arch just so.]
[Even as her hand moves over his back, his mind doesn't scream to run away, cover up, protect himself. It helps that the touch is firm, flat, not a squirming digging spreading sensation.]
Hmmm. Good. Like that...like that works. [His voice is shaking a bit because its still a lot. He's only been touched a few times since his wounds healed, mostly his brothers laying over his back and once Hunter when the nightmares came before Leo arrived. But that had been just a touch of a weighted blanket, not a somewhat exploring touch, not a hand trailing over his shell, the tough leathery texture with so many scars. It was different.]
[The praise doesn't hurt either.]
[She arches him and he feels the teeth against his collarbone and he churrs louder.] Yeah. Yeah, that's good. [He squeezes her hand again, and his hand moves over her breast, having stilled as he processed the sensation. Just a gentle massage for a few moments, slowly tugging up on the material.]
[ She lets out a soft breath in … relief, wonder, curiosity? All of those and more. It's still hard to believe that he's letting her do this, even with the evidence right there under her hand. She'd been prepared to wait weeks, months, years; would've understood and accepted it if he'd decided he just didn't want her to go there ever. But — he wants this.
Wants to try.
With her.
God, her heart is so full.
So she lets herself explore a little. Lets herself feel, taking in his shell's tough, leathery texture and its myriad of scars. Similar and yet different from the scales she's gotten familiar with over these past few weeks. She keeps it slow; keeps that same firm, consistent pressure, always. ]
Have — [ A shuddering breath as he resumes his own explorations ] Have I ever told you, how much I love it when you churr? I like every sound you make, but that one, that one might be one of my favorites … [ She presses another nip against his collarbone, another kiss, another bite, marking her way across his collarbone and up along the other side of his neck. ]
… Like you touching me there, too. [ That's a little harder to say, but she gets the words out eventually, murmured against his scales like so many kisses. ] Been wondering what it'd feel like. If you wanna —my bra, if you wanna move it …
