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

"Uh." Somehow, Clark has lost his train of thought. Again. "Whatever you want to do, I guess."

[eirenikos]

"What if that included seducing you?" It's hard to tell if she's serious or not by the tone of voice, though the way her hand is inching closer to his hip, and the nip to his chin could be taken a certain way.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark has enough presence of mind to know that Eirene isn't likely to joke about that, regardless of the fact that they have now slept together. So while the playful tone is noted, there won't be any dismissing of what she's saying.

"Can you afford to break another bed?"

[eirenikos]

"Yes." She pauses, gaze moving away from his to flicker across the room, then back, shifting focus from Clark's face, to his throat, and then his chest before finally returning to those beloved green eyes.

"Might be safer outside. If the idea was an agreeable one."

[hero_farmboy]

"Outside?" It's obvious the idea's never really occurred to him before.,

[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.
