Watchtower

[have_no_mercy]

When they leave Milliways, Tess and Jim enter what looks very much like an elevator. That's because it is. Steel all around with a camera up in one corner.

Smile, Jim, you're on TessTV!

She presses the button for the top floor and then waits.

'That's a shame.'

It's not a shame. He likes that he's the first to have her here, which will probably surprise no one. He stands between her legs and leans in to kiss her, threading one hand into her hair to hold her head in a light grip.

[have_no_mercy]

It isn't something she's really thought about before, because this is the last place she'd ever bring someone to have sex with. Her office at Luthorcorp, however? That's different.

She returns the kiss, a hand coming to rest on his arm.

[just_cant_lose]

Tragic underuse of office space. Shows distinct lack of imagination. It's so lucky he's here to put this right.

He deepens the kiss for a moment, then pulls back when a thought strikes.

'Why are you always so pissed off when your friends think you have a boyfriend?'

Not that her being cross isn't funny.

[have_no_mercy]

She just said she hadn't had sex in here. She wasn't speaking for anyone else. Her brow furrows at the question for a moment.

"I don't get angry at them thinking or knowing I have a boyfriend. However, I don't appreciate the teasing I have to endure because of it."

[just_cant_lose]

'Why not?'

Jim lowers his head to kiss her neck, sounding amused.

'I don't have friends, and even I know that's just what they do.'

It means they care, doesn't it?

[have_no_mercy]

There's a soft sigh as he starts on her neck.

"It's annoying, especially when it's wrong."

Also, Tess never has boyfriends so it's another thing she's not used to.

[just_cant_lose]

'You must be a difficult person to be friends with.'

He's not saying that like it's a bad thing. Just making an observation as he unfastens two buttons on her blouse, and trails his mouth along her collarbone.

'People are always wrong about everything. You should be used to it.'

[have_no_mercy]

"I am. Terribly difficult. It comes from years of not having any."

All observations should be delivered this way, she thinks for a mere moment.

"I'm tired of people being wrong and stupid. Can't we just kill them all"

[just_cant_lose]

'Awww. Poor baby.'

Very sympathy. Much sad. He scrapes his teeth along the ridge of bone, then sucks a mark into her skin. One hand moves under her skirt, curling around her inner thigh.

'And yes darling, I expect we can. Do you want me to design a plan for that as well?'

He could be kidding, but probably isn't.

[have_no_mercy]

"Yes. Poor me."

She gasps as he marks her and slides her hands up his chest and around his neck.

"Maybe after we have the moon sorted out."

[just_cant_lose]

'You're spoiling me, Tess. All these interesting projects.'

He grins, and pulls his fingernails down the soft skin on the inside of her leg. His teeth tug at the top of the cup of her bra.

'If you're left alone on a planet of dead people, you'd go mad. I'd like to see that.' Another tug. 'Pull this down for me.'

[have_no_mercy]

"Someone has to keep you out of trouble."

Which is so not what she's doing. She knows full well that Jim will get into trouble no matter who he's with.

"There'd be a few people left."

Slowly, she undoes one more button on her blouse before reaching inside and pushing the fabric out of the way.

[just_cant_lose]

'Selective genocide. Interesting.'

His mouth closes around her nipple, tugging on it with his lips and then flicking his tongue out over it.

'And no one here has any interest in me being kept out of trouble.'

[have_no_mercy]

Tess closes her eyes and moans softly.

"Why shouldn't I keep a few amusing people around?"

[just_cant_lose]

'Why not indeed?'

He keeps playing, using his tongue, and nudges her legs a little farther apart. He doesn't try to bet under her knickers yet, just rubs her over the top of them with the tip of one finger.

'It'd be boring having to do this yourself for the rest of your life.'

[have_no_mercy]

Her hips shift a little closer, bracing herself with one hand on the desk.

"It would be boring. Very boring. I shouldn't be subjected to it."

[just_cant_lose]

Jim chuckles and straightens up, so he can push both hands under her backside and put it where he wants; right on the edge of the desk, with her top half pushed back a bit. She can hang on around his neck if he likes, or brace against the desk, he doesn't care. He's too restless to do her thoroughly like he did last time, but that doesn't mean he won't make it good.

'At least you know I'll never be that.'

Two fingers slide under her knickers and then into her, as he leans for a brief kiss.

[have_no_mercy]

She makes a small, surprised noise when he re-positions her, though she's smiling when she has her bearings back. Her arms around his neck seem more secure for the time being.

"Does that mean I should keep you around?"

Then his fingers are inside her and she makes another noise, a more guttural one of pleasure.

[just_cant_lose]

'I'm already dead. You can try and kill me along with everyone else, but I don't like your chances.'

And not just because he's already dead. No matter; he looks amused at that noise, and crooks his fingers forward as he rubs inside her.

'It appears your mental exhaustion and concerns about not being into this have gone away.'

He is made of surprise.

[have_no_mercy]

"I never said I doubted... oh, God."

Give her a few moments here.

"You could do this."

In fact, she was certain he could. But she is in a much better mood now, thank you very much.

[just_cant_lose]

Jim bites his bottom lip and watches her face. This look suits her, and it's all the better because he knows not many men get to see it.

Then he's reminded that Eric gets to see it, which is annoying, but he's not about to let it ruin a good time. He doesn't press harder seeing as she obviously likes what he's doing already, but does push the heel of his hand over her clit as he unzips his flies.

'Sort the condom out for me me, would you? It's in my pocket.'

If she can.

'I don't think you want me to stop to do it.'

[have_no_mercy]

Very few men, indeed. She'd be glad to know it suits her but for the moment, her mind is decidedly elsewhere. And that's not on dealing with the condom, though she feels she should be somewhat useful instead of a near quivering mess.

"No, I've got it."

Tess reaches into his pocket and fishes the package out, opening it delicately since she's performing a bit of a balancing act. Finally, she gets the condom out and manages to reach down and roll it down over him.

She's broken out in a bit of a sweat doing this and once finished, she lifts her head in search of another kiss, hands back around his neck.

[just_cant_lose]

He doesn't make it easy by slowing down or anything; on the contrary, while she's busy with opening the wrapper and getting the thing on him, he decides it's the perfect time to add a bit more pressure and speed his rhythm a but. She can have a kiss, though. A long one if she wants it, as he pushes her skirt up to her hips and drags her knickers to one side.

'Hold on.'

He might go slow, but he's sure as hell not going to go easy. He thrusts in hard, gripping her ass to keep her pulled forward, shoving deep and then grinding deeper, watching her face the whole time.

[have_no_mercy]

Why would he make it any easier for her? She expects nothing less and that's why she deserves that kiss. Of course, it's interrupted by what he says and for some reason she feels like she should listen to him, her grip on him tightening.

And then he's inside her, rough and ready. Her eyes flutter closed, her mouth open to accommodate her increased breathing. She can't help but respond, hissing out a breath that vaguely sounds like a 'yes'. Unsurprisingly, Tess likes it a bit rough so she pushes right back against him with equal fervor.

[just_cant_lose]

He laughs, soft but with an edge of something he's never shown her during sex. He likes it more than a bit rough, and if she's up for going down that road, he's never going to say no. He draws back all the way to the tilt, and then snaps forward again, one hand on her ass and the other on her breast, nipping her breath off her lips.
