Athens, Greece; August 13, 2004

[dovelike]

It's sometime mid-morning when Eirene regains consciousness, staring blearily up at the ceiling and idly wondering what the heavy thing on top of her is for the three or four seconds until her brain starts clearing away the cobwebs and reveals that the object is, in fact, boyfriend-shaped. Which leads to lots and lots of blushing, and a soft, happy sigh at what they did the night before.

Hopefully not loud enough to wake him, seeing as how Clark appears to be still asleep.

Comments

[eirenikos]

"Outside. You, me, no clothing, on a blanket." It's too adventurous for him, she thinks, and leans forward to brush her lips against the center of his chest. "I'll bring it up again sometime."

While her fingers walk back up his stomach, and then detour to glide against the left side of his ribcage.

[hero_farmboy]

"You have neighbours," Clark feels obligated to point out. "I'll be more careful this time, I promise."

[eirenikos]

"Beds are replaceable. The comfort level of my lover is not. If we break this one, I'll get another." It's clearly okay if he doesn't 'be more careful'. And her fingers may turn around and head in a southerly direction.

"May I explore you?" she inquires when her fingertips drift past his bellybutton.

[hero_farmboy]

Muscles tighten under her hand more out of instinct than anything else. This is something he'd barely had a chance to get used to before it stopped altogether. This doesn't mean he doesn't want her to touch him.

"Explore me?"

[eirenikos]

Said hand glides back up along his chest, and past throat and chin, so fingertips can gently brush along the curve of his mouth.

"Just ... touch. Your hair, face, shoulders, arms and so forth. I would stop immediately if it was making you uncomfortable, I promise."

[hero_farmboy]

"Uh, I guess so? I mean if you want to." He's not really sure why she would, but it doesn't sound like a terrible request.

[eirenikos]

"Thank you. Just speak up if you want it to stop at any time, okay?" Eirene waits until he nods before shifting up onto her elbows, or rather, one elbow, her fingers already gliding across his forehead in a slow sweep. There is a very subtle difference in skin texture, depending on what part of the body its located at, and, being an artistic type, she likes to explore.

His chin might get a quick kiss as well, when her hand descends to that area.

[hero_farmboy]

"Okay." She's not going to hurt him, he knows that much, and that isn't even crossing his mind. So he just lies back and watches her curiously, smiling occasionally, especially if there are kisses involved.

[eirenikos]

There are kisses involved, dropped absently across his shoulder once his neck has been suitably caressed explored, and possibly down along the arm she's currently taken captive.

It should probably be noted that 'exploring' might feel suspiciously like 'massaging' but without the firm grip.

[hero_farmboy]

His eyes have closed already, and his breathing, while not laboured, has quickened. He thinks he could get used to this kind of exploration, especially if he gets a turn to do the same to her later.

[eirenikos]

Don't think she can't sense that, either, boyscout. The inside of his wrist, and each individual finger, also receives gentle treatment before her fingertips ghost across his palm and she leans forward to press a kiss in the center of it.

"Steel and silk," Eirene mutters against his skin a moment later.

[hero_farmboy]

"Hmm?" Clark isn't exactly paying attention to much other than the sensations her fingers are creating.

[eirenikos]

"You're beautiful," she explains, before gently dropping his hand at his side and twisting herself around a little more so she can spread both hands across his chest.

Eirene might sit there for a moment, just listening to his heart beat underneath a palm, before she leans over and kisses his collarbone.

[hero_farmboy]

One eye cracks open and he half stares up at her bemusedly. "Thanks. You're not so bad yourself."

[eirenikos]

"Thanks." She sits up a couple of seconds later and gently pokes his side.

[hero_farmboy]

"Hey, now," he grins, taking hold of her wrists gently.

"Come here."

[eirenikos]

Eirene sticks out her tongue, grins, and allows him to tug her over on top of him, which will net the big, loveable alien another kiss.

"Hi."

[hero_farmboy]

"Hi." Clark moves his hands up along her arms, over her shoulders and down across her back. Perhaps not quite in the same way she was just touching him, but he takes his time, fingers tracing lightly over her skin.

[eirenikos]

Eirene braces herself with one arm, the other settled motionless across his chest, and does her very best not to squirm, though each brush Clark's fingertips make along the curve of her back is enough to nudge her heartrate up a notch.

Whimper.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark smiles to himself and retraces over that particular area of her lower back, before letting his hands drift a little lower.

[eirenikos]

Gasp.

Muscles tense underneath his palms the minute they slide across the curves of her rear end, and she just can't prevent her hips from pressing down, briefly, against his.

And, yes, Eirene is very aware both of them are still naked.

[hero_farmboy]

They are, aren't they.

Clark takes in a deep breath and peppers kisses along her throat. "I think I like being seduced," he whispers when he reaches her ear.

[eirenikos]

That elicits an audible groan, as Clark is aware of how sensitive her throat is to being touched or caressed, and she's actually trembling by the time his lips brush across her earlobe.

In fact, it takes a long few moments before she remembers how to speak, and her voice might sound vaguely raw.

".... me too."

[hero_farmboy]

He nuzzles her cheek with his nose and grins briefly, before kissing the underside of her jaw. "So, ready to get up and start the day?"

[eirenikos]

Oh, look. Another whimper. She quite loses track of what they're talking about, much like Clark did earlier, and just peers down at him.

"Huh?"
