Back in the (Proverbial) Saddle {Kai - M}

[Malachai Roen]

Kai was quite aware that Noa was 'winning' this little silent competition they had going on, but to be fair, it really wasn't fair - she all dressed up (or rather, having not all that much dress on at all) in her performing attire, tempting flashes of skin popping up every once in a while. Kai knew he looked nice, but at least he was fully clothed... For now.

Still, his teeth flashed in a small moment of victory at the sound at the end of her laugh, also glancing at the driver - he hadn't seemed to notice anything. However, as Noa began to speak, her revenge became obvious, and Kai let out a small, unwilling grunt as his body responded even more to her movements. He saw the flash of the driver's eyes in the rear-view mirror, and knew he'd heard. "That's... Good," he breathed heavily, his grip on her leg squeezing a little more tightly. "Nope, not that I'm aware of," he replied with a tense smile, looking outside as they turned onto his familiar street. Thank God. "I can't promise I'll be... Gentle, though. I hope that's alright."

If it wasn't... Well, they would just have to find out.

"Right here," he told the driver as they reached his apartment, quickly paying him with a very large tip as he popped the door open and helped Noa get out, thankful for the darkness to hide certain... Things. Once more, he wrapped an arm around her, leading her inside and motioning up the stairs. "I live on the top floor," he explained, his hand slipping down her back a little as they made their way up. Fortunately, the top floor wasn't all that high (this was a small town, after all), and it wasn't too long before he was pulling his keys out of his pocket and fumbling it into his lock, tugging the door open and ushering his sexy little thing inside.

His hands were nearly shaking as he put his wallet away and gave Noa a moment to take in his apartment, which, as one might expect, was as lavish as he could afford (which was a lot). The entire theme of the room was navy, umber, and off-white, the atmosphere dim and almost geometric in its rich simplicity. There was a single couch in the living room, with an exotic-wood coffee table sitting before it. It was the perfect location for drinking a glass of wine, but...

Kai was tired of putting up his act.

"If it's alright, I think we'll just skip the wine..." he said slowly, turning upon Noa with a purr in his own voice and a dark spark to his eyes. He walked up to her, backing her up until she was standing against the wall, whereupon he leaned down and pressed his face into her hair, taking in a deep breath of her soft scent. "I can't keep my hands to myself any more..." His fingers trailed back to the base of Noa's spine as his lips planted themselves against the smooth, silky skin of her neck, waiting to see her reaction before he continued.

[Noa Reese]

​Noa stuck her tongue out a bit as she elicited a small noise from Kai, and bit it to keep from snickering. Ha: she was so totally winning.

​"That's... Good."

Damn right it is, Noa grinned, and took a long deep breath to keep from making an audible reaction to his sudden tightened grip, though her eyes met his in a challenge.

​"I can't promise I'll be... Gentle, though. I hope that's alright."

Noa held her tongue, offering only a hint that she had something to say in the way her eyebrows raised and she pursed her lips mischievously, and scooted a little closer, each of their respective limbs becoming that much more dangerous to the silence of the other.

Once they reached Kai's building, exiting the car, Noa took the opportunity, as he leaned down to help out, to murmur; "I can assure you, I'm not as delicate as you seem to think." She would've outright stated that she liked it almost as far from gentle as one (or two, really - or more) could get, but there would be time for that later.

It felt funny, walking with Kai's arm around her. She almost felt like she was in some sort of Pretty Woman ripoff; the trashily dressed girl, all cozied up to this sophisticated man. It was... odd. But she wasn't exactly oppose to it, either. Especially she was currently winning. The dark didn't hide things quite as much as he may have thought.

Noa kept that small, wicked smile on her lips as he fumbled with his keys. It was adorable, how excited he was. Now she just had to keep pushing it until he cut loose.

She wasn't entirely surprised by how nice the place was - she'd expected something of the sort - but she was certainly impressed. Compared to her three-person shared location... Yeah, they weren't even in the same stratosphere. She took a few steps inside, curious as to where she might stage her little tease-

But apparently that wouldn't be necessary.

"If it's alright, I think we'll just skip the wine..."

Well fuck, Noa was pretty sure she'd never heard those words said with quite that level of lust in them before. Her mouth opened slightly, subconsciously, taking in one hot breath before he was practically on top her, her heels hitting the wall just a second later. She had wanted to say something - something witty, or sexy, or both - but her mind hand gone blank for just a moment. She felt pinned. It was possibly one of her favorite feelings.

"I can't keep my hands to myself any more..."

Finally. That was what she'd been waiting to hear since they started their little game. Somehow, even though he was the one making the moves, she knew that she was the one who'd made this happen. Not a bad job, if she did say so herself.

But she wasn't going to say so herself, because she wasn't exactly capable of speech at the moment. All she could manage was a shallow moan. Oh, wait, there were the words, coming out in a sigh; "What are you, a fucking mind reader?" He'd picked out her sensitive spots perfectly, his hand on her back making her arch toward him, pushing her body closer while her head leaned back against the wall, giving him space to work his magic on her throat.

She liked this Kai fellow. Very much.
