do not disturb; au, nsfw
Before they'd even fully stepped into the room, Hope had hung the sign on the door. Sure, maybe it was a little preemptive of him, but even in just looking at Lightning, he knew it would be hours - maybe days - before they allowed themselves to be disturbed.
He had to admit that the hotel room was pretty fancy. Nice decor, it was clean…and the bed was more than big enough.
He eyes flickered over to Lightning. She was gazing around the room as well, taking it in with her ever-observant eyes. It struck him right then just how gorgeous she was - to anyone else, she might have looked ordinary. All she was wearing was a simple, dark tank top and a pair of shorts. Her hair was free and messy, as usual. But all Hope could see was her long, lean legs, her bare neck, and the sliver of skin revealed between her shorts and shirt.
Gods, she was beautiful.
He slid a hand onto the small of her back in a silent question. She respond with a smirk of a smile, her arms reaching up to slide around his neck as she turned, their lips meeting in an instantly heated kiss.
The didn't need words. The only conversation spoken here were their mutual gasps and her long, drawn-out moans.
Somehow, they managed to clumsily stumble to the bed. He eased her down onto the sheets, their lips still connected. Kissing Lightning was always something that filled him with ecstasy, but their fervent bedroom kisses were some of his favorite - it was their way of letting their guards down and letting themselves really feel.
She managed to sneak a hand under the hem of his shirt, and her fingertips teasingly ran up and down his spine. He arched into touch in response, both of them letting out a moan when he reaction caused their hips to press together more firmly. Instinctively, he rocked against her, feeling far too pleased when it caused Lightning to pull away from the kiss with a sharp gasp.
How was it that he found himself wanting her more and more as time went on?
He quickly pulled the two of them onto more of the bed to make better use of it. Hope dipped his head, lips kissing the heated skin of her neck as his hand pushed her shirt upwards. A smile broke out when his thumb brushed her navel ring, but it just made her shiver. Though every time she responded made his need skyrocket, he was determined to linger, to drive them both crazy as he memorized every inch of her body once again until they couldn't take it anymore.
It seemed as though Lightning's patience was already waring thin, if the way her legs pressed against either side of his was any indication, but Hope was nothing if persistent. He ignored her insistence, instead moving his hand upwards as his teeth and tongue continued to ravish her neck. Her head fell back against the pillows with a pleased moan, exposing more of that glorious skin for him, and she arched up even closer when his fingers slide her her bra to tease the underside of her breasts. The way she squirmed against him was telling enough - she wasn't in the mood for his teasing.
Luckily, they both knew that was just a ruse.
In the interest of not frustrating her even more, Hope reluctantly pulled away from her neck so he could tug her shirt off, though the movement was far more clumsy than normal when he saw the blatant desire in her eyes. It never failed to blow him away that she wanted him. It was just another reminder of how damn lucky he was.
Lightning impatiently threw his shirt off as well when she was able to, her hands immediately running up and down his chest as their lips met again in another frantic kiss. A jagged groan escaped the corner of his mouth when her hands dipped just below his waistband, then shot back up over his stomach. She wasn't being shy, he knew - she was blatantly teasing him at this point.
Two could play at that game.
Without hesitation, he undid her shorts and tugged them off along with her underwear, leaving her in nothing but a dark, lacy bra. With a little gasp, he pulled away from the kiss to fully throw her clothes aside, his eyes trailing up her body with a heated gaze.
When he met her eyes, he knew that his plan of trailing along until they both cracked was not going to happen. There was too much love and desire in her eyes, too much pure need. And gods, he wanted her more than anything right now, never mind that there'd be plenty of time later to continue memorizing her body.
He left her bra on because it accentuated her gorgeous figure, but the remainder of his clothes were quickly shed without a care and tossed to the floor in a heap. Now there was nothing to stop and he and Lightning from becoming one…unless he decided to string them along just a bit farther.
Though she was clearly ready for him, he instead dipped his head down and rained kisses on her collarbone, his hands reaching up to tease her neglected breasts. Caressing them through the lace of her bra seemed to make his touch even more pleasing for her…or perhaps she was really just growing that much more impatient. A sharp, deep gasp escaped her when his mouth ventured lower, finally uttering out the first real word either of them had spoken since arriving here.
"Please…."
He knew she meant it. They both did - their bodies were trembling so much it was hard to tells whose skin was whose and their need was so great it had nearly become tangible. He could not deny them any longer.
A moan escaped her when he eased himself inside of her. It took his breath away at how hot and slick she could feel against him, like she was welcoming him. Hope remained there for a long moment, his eyes half-lidded as he stared down at her expression of utter pleasure, only moving at her wordless signal - when her legs wrapped around his waist as though to keep him from going anywhere.
As though he'd move away, really.
Instead, he rocked slowly into her, beginning with a slower pace in the interest of gradually building it up, but Lightning was having none of that. Her hips immediately snapped up to meet his and one arm flung around his neck to pull him down for a frenzied kiss that stole his breath away.
Well, then.
Hope took her free hand in his own, their fingers twining together. It was the last motion of his that could be classified as 'sweet', because everything afterwards was pure need and lust. His hips slammed against hers uncontrollably, his pace quickening more and more at her endless gasps and moans. At one point, her free hand threaded into his hair and tugged roughly, and he responded by lowering his lips to her neck, sucking the skin there with a delicious noise.
His heart was racing uncontrollably, enough to push all of the breath out of his lungs. Simple human functions felt like they ceased to be as he completely gave in to pleasing Lightning, taking in every inch of her and every reaction - to the way her hips quickly rolled up against his in desperation, her cut-off gasps of his name, the moans that continually drove him crazy, the way her hand squeezed his like it was all she could do to hold on -
It was always a sight to behold when she hit in the edge, since it was one of the few times she would completely let go - her mouth hung open in a silent scream as her head arched back against the pillows fiercely, her body completely tense as she clung to him with absolute feeling. Her reaction was always that little bit more he needed for his climax to consume him as well, maybe because it always made pleased to please her so thoroughly.
For a long, suspended moment, it was as though nothing but sensation existed. Even their bodies were simply just along for the ride…and oh, what a ride it was.
The spell was broken when Hope simply couldn't take it anymore and his spent, exhausted body collapsed against Lightning's, his breathing coming out in quick pants. She didn't seem to mind, even though her legs bonelessly flopped down and her hold on him loosened - except for their hands, which remained tightly entwined.
For a long time, they stayed like that, simply wrapped up in each other and listening to their rapid heartbeats. It seemed like ages before Hope had regained any air in his lungs enough to speak, but once he did, it was in a murmur against Lightning's ear. He uttered the only other words that were needed.
"I love you."
He felt rather that saw her smile when her lips pressed against his sweaty temple. "As do I," she murmured into his skin.
Hope smiled as well. Now he could honestly say that tonight had been perfect.
I am terrible at smut. LOL
