Into the Unknown with darkseidofmoon

[have_no_mercy]

It's not unusual for Tess to remain working in the study into the wee hours of the morning. What isn't usual is for her to be waiting for company, even if the hours aren't quite so wee as yet. It's still late and worse, she has little idea what she may be getting herself into.

Which also isn't usual, but sometimes these kinds of risks have to be taken and she's the only one, in her opinion, who can put themselves on the line right now.

That doesn't mean Tess isn't going to be pacing until her guest arrives.

Darkseid, similarly, gives up on focusing on each specific detail and allows everything to happen on its own. So he'll simply cling to her in return, his grasp tightening as everything continues to build in unison. Their heart beats, their breaths, the fervor of each movement. And that most important place where their bodies are joined so perfectly. He may also move his mouth over her face to grope at her neck and chest, doing so almost unconsciously as everything advances forward.

Tess is slowly losing whatever sense of control she had left. Which wasn't much. It feels like his hands and mouth are everywhere, all at once, almost overwhelmingly so. And finally, her entire body tenses as the wave finally hits her, fingers again digging into his skin while she gasps for breath between ragged moans.

A loud, breathless moan escapes him, and his body tenses as well, clutching at her even more tightly as he feels the wave wash over the both of them. All the built-up sensations finally release all at once, overwhelming and intense as long as the breathtaking moment lasts.

Chances are, Tess is going to have some fairly nice bruises in the morning. And chances are, she won't mind a bit.

She doesn't move for the next few minutes, allowing the feeling to completely take over. When it does start to subside she relaxes back against the cushions and smiles lazily up at him, stroking his back gently.

Darkseid slowly allows himself to relax as well, resting his forehead against hers and breathing heavily. And his hands gradually loosen their grip, though one of them remains to rest lightly against her ribcage and the other is lifted to stroke her face.

As he gazes down into her eyes, which remain very close to his own, a small smile will then be given to her in return.

"Well, this definitely wasn't in my agenda for the evening, but I don't think I'm going to complain," she says softly, a finger tracing along his spine. Her voice sounds oddly foreign to her, interrupting the sound of their breathing and hearts still beating faster than usual.

"Well, you did say surprises were half the fun," he replies quietly between breaths, lightly brushing her hair back from her face. "Which was the whole purpose to begin with."

[have_no_mercy]

"That is very true," Tess agrees, bringing one hand up to rest against his cheek. "Which is why I'm not complaining. It was fun and very enjoyable."

"It was," Darkseid concurs, his smile widening slightly. "But what now, Tess?" He trails his hand down her face and along her neck. "Would you like me to leave?"

[have_no_mercy]

"Mmm," she noises quietly, stretching her arms above her head and then bringing them back down to rest on his shoulders. "That's the way it usually works, unless you can give me a very compelling reason why I should let you stay."

"I think that's rather for you to decide, regardless of how these things usually work," he tells her, rubbing his hand across her skin to her shoulder. "It really depends on whether or not the company I have to offer would be appreciated."

"And you see, that's where we run into a bit of a problem," she points out, lifting her chin to press her lips against his quickly.

"I don't know enough about you to be able to decide if the company you can offer would be appreciated." Tess sighs dramatically. "What am I to do?"

Darkseid smiles knowingly, tilting his head to one side without shifting away and lifting an eyebrow. His hand will also slowly make its way downward to rest beside his other. "Don't you?"

[have_no_mercy]

"No, I don't," Tess confirms, terribly innocently. "I mean, 'company' could mean almost anything, including deep and meaningful conversation, witty repartée and ego building compliments." She leans up as if to kiss him again but stops just short. "I'm not sure you can handle all that."

[darkseidofmoon.livejournal.com]

"Oh?" he asks, leaning downward to brush his lips to hers so lightly that it's not quite a kiss. "And what makes you doubt my abilities in those areas, Tess?"

[have_no_mercy]

"Just like I said. I don't really know you."

After a moment, she concedes, "I suppose you can be witty and you weren't bad with the ego building compliments, it's the deep and meaningful conversation that worries me." And again, she's just the picture of innocence.
