Passion Overrules Sense

Flynn-

Flynn was mentally thanking and cursing every god he could think of, which weren't many due to the fact that most of his blood was now rushing away from his brain. Just lying with Lucy only inches away from his right side, her scent enveloping him was intoxicating. I should've refused, he thought. The stiffness from the chair was preferable to the hell he was currently in. Or heaven, depending which way you looked at it. He couldn't really figure out which side the scale tipped farther.

He desperately wanted to touch Lucy, to feel her soft skin against his, to taste her lips, hear her whisper his name as he moved inside her, watch her face as she climaxed. Oh, dear god, Flynn thought as his pants became very restrictive. What do I do? I'll never fall asleep like this! For a man his age and with his deadly skill set, he was actually panicking a little. Flynn was at a complete loss what to do. He was just thankful it was dark and Lucy couldn't see what was going on with him. Small miracles do happen, he thought.

Like earlier, it was like Lucy could read his mind and knew he was having carnal thoughts of her. "Flynn," she asked a bit timidly.

"Yes?" His voice sounded a bit choked, trying to at least sound normal.

"Do you feel that..." she paused, as if searching for the right words. "Feel that spark, that charge in the air...between us?"

Flynn debated whether he should tell the truth. Maybe if he confessed he did, it would frighten her so she would leave it alone, and he could settle down and sleep. "I do." He left his answer to that, waiting for how she would react. He was shocked when she turned to him, putting her hand on his chest. It burned, even through the material of his shirt. He brought his hand up, covering hers. Neither Flynn nor Lucy made to move.

Before Flynn could think better of it and change his mind, he rolled until he faced Lucy, capturing her lips with his. Her gasp revealed her surprise, but it only lasted a moment and then she was kissing him back. She's kissing me back! Flynn thought before his mind went blank, instinct taking over. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Lucy startled, but didn't stop him, only wound her own arms around his neck, pulling herself even more snug against him.

Dear God, what is this maddeningly, brilliant woman doing to me?! Flynn was absolutely shocked, to say the least, that Lucy was not only kissing him, but that she had allowed him to deepen the kiss and allowed him to pull her closer. Not to mention that she seemed to want to be closer still. This action on her part made Flynn make another decision. Hoping that he wasn't pressing his luck, he tentatively touched the tip of his tongue to her upper lip. Thinking this would probably make Lucy change her mind and push him away, he was pleasantly surprised that she didn't, again. She immediately opened her mouth further and caressed his tongue with hers.

Kissing Lucy was like a dream to Flynn, something he had been dreaming about for some time now, to be honest. Dreams hardly ever compared to reality, and this reality far surpassed any dream he'd ever had about Lucy, which were many. She was just as eager for his kisses, for his touch, as he was for hers. Possibly more so, if the whimpering noises she began making were any indication. He relished every single one, each one making him feel more confident, bolder.

Flynn rolled onto his back so that Lucy was half draped over his chest. Although he shouldn't be stunned anymore by that point, he was when she moved so that she was laying fully on top of him. Positioned as she was, there was no way she could miss the blatant evidence of his desire for her. In fact, she seemed to not mind in the least, for she subtly ground her hips into him. Flynn groaned, fingers gripping her hips lightly. She responded by cupping his face between her hands and kissing him harder.

When Lucy suddenly pulled away, Flynn was sure she had come to her senses and wanted to stop. He was actually expecting a slap or punch, but was amazed when she started unbuttoning his shirt. She can't be doing what I think she's doing, right?! Sure he was hallucinating, he opened his eyes to see Lucy concentrating on her fingers, which weren't shaking or hesitant. Almost as if she could feel his stare, she looked up and met his eyes clearly. There was no guile in them, this wasn't a ruse to take advantage like some women would do. She wanted him, plain and simple. Flynn certainly wasn't going to deny her. He wanted her too badly to even second guess what was happening between them.

Lucy finished with his buttons and pulled the shirt open to expose his chest. For a couple moments she just stared, then slowly laid both of her palms flat over his rib cage. Flynn sucked in a sharp breath, hot fire pokers couldn't have scorched his skin the way Lucy's touch had. She ran her hands up and down his torso, exploring every inch. With each pass lower she came closer and closer to his belt buckle and every time he held his breath. He hadn't exactly let himself think too far ahead of what they were doing. He hoped simultaneously that she would reach the buckle and she wouldn't.

As a man desiring a woman, Flynn very much wanted her to reach it, but as her enemy, he knew it would very much complicate their opposing goals. He shouldn't even be considering taking this any further, but he couldn't bring himself to stop her. He decided that no matter what came of it if they continued, he wanted to enjoy it, to not worry about the bigger picture of what was going on with them. He simply wanted to be a man with a beautiful woman, for tonight at least.

Flynn wanted to touch her badly. He lifted his hands toward her, but caught himself, halting his arms in midair, afraid her would alarm her too much. Lucy stopped touching him and grabbed his hands, planting them on her hips. He was so shocked that he didn't move. When he kept still, Lucy took ahold of his hands again, slowly placing them to cover her breasts. The thin material of the chemise was hardly a barrier and didn't prevent him from feeling her nipples harden. She dropped her hands, silently telling him that it was his choice to continue touching her or not. She obviously wanted him to touch her or she never would've put his hands there in the first place. Flynn wasn't going to disappoint her.

Gently, so gently, Flynn cupped her breasts, fondling them lightly before brushing his thumbs over her nipples, causing them to stiffen further. Lucy dropped her head back while closing her eyes, moaning quietly. The sound shot straight to Flynn's groin. His shaft twitched in response. He knew she noticed when her eyes shot open. Very subtly, Lucy rotated her hips, rubbing against him. Oh, god, he thought as he closed his eyes, fervently wishing there were no clothes separating them, so he could feel her.

With her uncanny ability to read his thoughts on this night, Lucy gathered the hem of the chemise, preparing to lift it over her head. Flynn grabbed her wrists, stopping her. He saw the confusion and hurt in her eyes before she looked away in embarrassment. She thinks I'm rejecting her, he thought. Quickly wanting to reassure her he was doing no such thing, he sat up and captured her lips, wrapping his arms around her. Lucy hesitated only a moment then kissed him back. Their tongues danced together, each still tasting a hint of the whiskey, though the kisses were more potent than the alcohol.

Flynn slid his hands under the garment, trailing his fingers up her back, loving the feeling of her soft skin. Preparing himself, he brought his hands around, cupping her breasts again, this time with no barrier between them. Lucy sighed as she arched her back, pushing herself more fully into the palms of his hands. Wanting to savor the sensation, he gently applied more pressure, rubbing the hard peaks over and over with the pad of his thumbs as he leaned his head down to kiss the crook of her neck. She jumped slightly, but grabbed his arms to steady herself.

Sorry it took so long to update. The last several days have been pretty hectic. Also, I've edited chapters 1, 2 and 5 to correct a few mistakes and add a couple things if you want to reread them. :)
