Closed RP: Stephen and Sarah - The Surprise

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

((This starts Friday morning. Good clean fun with appliances abounds!))


With minimal fuss, Sarah and Stephen had left the school by Floo to seek out a waiting cab in a nearby 'Muggle' village. Their destination, as far as Sarah knew, was Macduff Aquarium in Aberdeenshire, but this whole day just existing was already so incredible to her. They were leaving the castle - and with it she hoped the stress that had plagued them recently - and venturing out into the non-magic world which she had not been in since her arrival. To be fair, she had not gone beyond the castle and grounds except once to Hogsmeade with Stephen, so she was quite excited.

Settled against Stephen's side in the backseat of the cab, she was content to point out things that caught her attention on the drive - and even explain things that might have been interesting to a man from the 19th century - or simply just sit in companionable silence. The familiarity of being in a car after two months was refreshing because it was something distinctly non-magical and not connected to what they had left behind, and it was all that much better for having Stephen, who was already her new 'familiar', right next to her. They both needed this, in her opinion, so she had been ridiculously pleased when Stephen had mentioned the plans. Without knowing it (or so she assumed, as she had never mentioned her birthday), he had given her an early birthday present in this day trip out with him. There was no more she could ask for, and yet...

"Stephen, I think the cabbie's taken us to the wrong place," she said once she had gotten close to his ear to whisper without being overheard. Outside the window of the now stopped cab was a cottage, very lovely but not the aquarium she had been expecting to see. Too preoccupied with the view or with Stephen, she had not even noticed telling road signs that might have led to confusion much sooner.


((R-ish for quite a lot of smut in various places. xD))

"Then we shall encourage one another." Without halting the hand's progress, he ducked his head to nudge her face toward his so that he could kiss her properly.

"Brilliant plan," Sarah murmured against his mouth and then kissed him, looping a leg lazily over his as she pressed her body in for a closer fit.

Certain types of response were, at the moment, a physical impossibility (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_period#Refractory_period_in_sex). That did not lessen by one iota Stephen's interest. There were other ways of indulging, in the meantime; and a significant part of intimacy's appeal now was simply the closeness they had denied themselves for the better part of a month. Even kissing her this deeply was more than they had done for some time before today, which was what made the kiss she had given him in the kitchen so daring and so upsetting. He thought he would never get enough of touching her, anywhere, everywhere. "If it is a brilliant plan," he said between kisses, "that is because I have a most extraordinary muse to inspire me."

Sarah smiled against his mouth at that, matching each kiss fiercely but less frantic than before. He was here now and they were both themselves and, most of all, they had nowhere to go whatsoever. Staying in bed the entire time they were on this vacation truly was an idea Sarah would gladly support.

"I wonder what other nice things your muse could inspire you to think up," she said softly between kisses, running her hand down his arm and back leisurely. This was a closeness that, now she had it, she did not understand how she had gone so long without it. Perhaps it had been than she had still been with Stephen during the time, but now that she had it back she did not want to lose it again. She would give it up if it again became necessary, because she would do anything for him - she just hoped it would not be necessary.

"To be completely candid with you," he said, "I find the present circumstances not conducive to thinking at all." He bit her ear lightly. "In bed with a beautiful woman --" a kiss just below the ear -- "with whom I am madly in love" -- a gentle almost-bite -- "can you blame me, really?"

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

Madly in love. Most might think Sarah completely and utterly ridiculous for feeling so much unadulterated joy at those words when she well knew the feelings behind them already, but she did and was unashamed of how complete it made her feel to know that. She had loved him desperately at every stage from 'not indifferent' to now and each step still thrilled her.

"Not at all, especially as I'm in a similar predicament with a handsome man who I'm madly in love with in return," she murmured, angling her neck to encourage more of what he had done as well as would do. "I'd like to state for the record this is a predicament I will gladly be in at any time."

"Then we understand one another very well."

Of course, for Stephen, 'not indifferent' had been tantamount to a full admission of a growing irrevocable attachment anyhow. He was presently given to more effusive expressions of affection, however.

Ones involving anatomical study.

Presently he was confirming that his bedmate was, in fact, a mammal.

"Mmmhmm," Sarah answered, sound more encouragement for the attention than an answer to what he had said. Her back arched slightly and then more as he continued, her fingers occasionally digging into his back, arms and chest as she continued to touch him. She wanted more and the sounds she vocalized said as much, dropping kisses on any bit of skin of his she could reach.

She definitely was not still enough to be a proper case study.

It was an irregular study. One did not normally use one's mouth as an exploratory instrument. Stephen found it was an excellent tool to test responsiveness, however.

Also, it was fun.

[nopower-overme.livejournal.com]

Fun, at the moment, was likely not quite the word Sarah would have used to be on the receiving end of all of this. Likely though, if she were to use that word, it still would not have been said as she was far too busy making other sounds. Quite a lot of sounds actually, even when the words ran together and likely made no sense. She supposed it only fair, as he had submitted to her exploration of him with lips and teeth, but she wanted to be able to return all he was doing right now even as she pressed into the touches more.

[estebanmd.livejournal.com]

Yes, she was most responsive. A muffled sound denoted Stephen's approval. Odd, Stephen thought, that mammary glands should exert such appeal. Their functionality was really beside the point entirely and should never be tested anyway. What was important here was the aesthetic quality.

He felt moved to stop what he was doing long enough to inform her: "You have exquisite breasts."

And then resumed.
