Note: this is slightly out-of-character for Sophie ;) She'd never get herself stuck in a situation like this. Lok though, if it really came down to no other option, would do anything to save her; he'd just need to get past any embarrassment issues first. Sequel to A Moment Alone
When Lok awoke the next morning, he found Sophie stretching in their apartment, completely dressed in her usual clothes, minus the shoes.
He watched her for awhile, as she seemed oblivious to the fact that he was awake. He was glad that she was trying to remove all traces of soreness from her body; that little episode had been trying for both of them. Though as he watched, he thought back to that one moment where he'd been touching her butt... what would happen next now that she knew he could think like that?
And on a side note, he marveled at the fact that no matter what way she twisted herself, her skirt never once showed anything off. "Must be a side-effect of the Casterwill family magic" he thought, chuckling silently.
Sophie stood up straight, stretching her arms above her head, head turning a bit. "Ah good, you're awake"
He was surprised, but he smiled and got up anyway. "It's good to see you're okay, Sophie" he said gently, watching her turn toward him.
Her expression softened, then she glanced down, walking closer. "I've been meaning to talk to you, Lok, since yesterday's events" she said, sitting down on the bed.
Yesterday's events = the window incident... even though he didn't know exactly what was gonna happen next, he was nervous as he slowly sat down beside her. "Talk about what?"
She was silent for a moment, then she glanced at him, her cheeks gaining the slightest red tint. "In all the time I've known you Lok, before and after we've kissed, I've thought you were a bit slow on romantic matters" she said, her tone normal. "But due to where your hand was yesterday, I've begun to think that you've been holding out on me!"
He was startled a bit by her sudden tone, but he didn't back down. "Well, Sophie, I'm not a complete idiot" he said, gesturing slightly as he went on. "I may prefer to solve puzzles and traps, but I'm not unaware of love. They're just never seemed to be a right time, or there were other matters that demanded our attention... I don't know; I guess I was just nervous"
"Nervous to make the first move, you mean" she said, slowly reaching out and touching his fingers with hers. "You were supposed to be studying that one day, but you asked about the Chinese Finger Trap instead. I had to say a few things before you came around"
He chuckled a bit, his fingers slowly intertwining with hers. "I remember" he mused. "But if I remember correctly, I said a number of interesting things first... like how you were more interesting than studying"
Her cheeks turned a little red, and she giggled as she sat a little closer. "You did" she admitted, then gave him an amused expression. "But you still said them like we were just friends, even though that's not exactly the type of thing 'just friends' say to each other"
"Well it's not like I knew that!" he exclaimed lightly. "There's not exactly a book on these things"
She smiled in response, and she squeezed his hand. "No, there's not" she breathed softly, leaning forward. "It would be nice though, for both genders"
Lok made a sound in surprise; Sophie was leaning against him, holding them close. "Sophie?"
"Can we just lay here for the rest of the day?" she breathed softly, snuggling against him. "Please?"
Lok raised both eyebrows, thoroughly surprised. "Uh, Sophie, you feeling okay?" he asked, a little worried. "That doesn't sound like you"
Sophie moved against him, and to his surprise, quite literally had them laying on the bed together. She sat up slightly, her legs on either side of him, and her expression still amused. "True" she said. "But then again, I am messing with you"
He blinked once, then chuckled as his hands slowly slid up her arms. "But you know, we can lay here for awhile" he whispered gently. "To kiss or whatever"
"Well, if that's all you want, then okay" she whispered back, leaning down, eyes half-closed.
Lok barely had enough time for his eyes to widen at what she meant, then her lips touched his. He was surprised, but he quickly kissed her back, which pleased her, especially when his hands began to wander onto her back. Thinking back to Lok's occasional bold moves, she lightly sucked on his lip, feeling her heart-rate increase fast... especially when Lok's hands instinctively gripped her butt, this time with both hands.
She gasped, surprised, but she found that she really liked it. She dug herself deeper into the kiss, actually moaning slightly from the feeling of his hands.
At the same time, her hands were busy; wandering over his chest, and digging into the buttons of his white shirt. Whether by accident or intentionally, they seemed to come undone under her fingers. She didn't remember pulling that shirt out from under his back, but perhaps that was because she was far more focused on the kiss; they'd progressed to tongues now.
They both made a lot of little sounds, pulling away to pant heavily.
"Oh, wow" Lok breathed, with a slightly dazed smile, then he slowly noticed himself. "Wait, when did I lose a shirt?"
She giggled slightly, her face heating up a little. "Well, I guess it doesn't matter" she breathed, leaning forward boldly and kissing his neck multiple times, her hair tickling his face. Lok made a sound in surprise, one hand digging itself into her hair (something else she really liked).
"Sophie... remind me to have you do that more often" he whispered gently, making a slightly sheepish smile.
"Done" she breathed, her fingers already digging into his remaining shirt.
He felt this, but he didn't stop her as she pulled it off his body. He wasn't overly muscular, nor had she expected him to be, but all the practice and experience using Titans, spells, the occasional martial arts training and so on... it had left him nicely toned. He shivered a bit when her hands wandered over those details.
"Oh, and that too" he breathed, with a shared chuckle between them.
Of course, her hands weren't the only ones that wandered: Lok's hands moved across her body too, but he was more hesitant about moving to new areas. For right now, he was content with simply moving across her legs, arms and back... all of which was pleasant, don't get her wrong, but he might need a push in the right direction soon if she wanted more.
And as they kissed again, a sloppy deep wet one, she definitely wanted more.
"Lok, you know I can't be the one who does all the first steps" she breathed during a break in their kissing, feeling a little warm.
"Hmm?" he sounded at first, then blinked twice. "Oh, sorry about that... I got a bit distracted there" he said, sounding a bit embarrassed, his hands moving up her arms. She giggled in response, giving him another kiss, at the same time feeling him gently pulling at her detached sleeves, which came off easily.
"Perhaps, you'd like to do more?" she breathed in his ear, moving his hands onto her back.
He gasped, his grip tightening. "Sophie..."
She closed her eyes, laying her head in the crook of his neck. "You were thinking along those lines yesterday Lok, when you touched me" she whispered, her pulse increasing rapidly. "Even if it was only to help me out of the window, I was nervous, yet excited... just as I am now. I want to; do you?"
He was silent for a few moments, except for the small pants. Then he gently brought up her head, and gave her a deep loving kiss, she making a 'Mmh' sound in response.
"We both love each other, don't we Sophie?" he asked, soft yet aware of what he was asking.
She actually blushed, bumping her forehead against his. "More than anything else" she answered, knowing it to be true as she smiled.
He smiled back, his expression nervous yet excited, much like she felt. "Well, in that case" he breathed, his fingers caressing her cheek. "How I can deny what you want?"
She didn't answer that with words: merely pressed her lips to his, and her body against him, just wanting to be close. They both moaned from the passion, gripping each other tightly, even as she began to kiss and lick his chest muscles. He shivered in delight from this, but his hands remained busy, working on her back beneath her shirt... then eventually gripping the edges in his fingers.
She didn't notice at first, not until she felt her shirt pulled halfway up her back. Her heart beat faster and her blush intensified, but she didn't resist... in fact, she slowly raised her arms to make it easier for him. But despite that, she got a sudden rush of shyness, and subconsciously covered her bare breasts before Lok could see, the shirt blocking his view for the time being.
Lok tossed her shirt off to the side, and only then did his gaze return to her figure. And when he did, he gasped in surprise, much to her embarrassment. Mostly it was his wide-eyed staring, but still, she fidgeted a bit in place. "Um, sorry if I'm shy, Lok" she breathed, thinking that was the issue as she glanced away. "It just suddenly came over me"
"No, that's not it!" he said quickly, which brought her slightly-red gaze back to him. Lok was nervous, but he appeared determined at the same time. "I was just caught off-guard" he admitted, chuckling weakly. "I was expecting you to, you know, be wearing more underneath than that"
Her eyes softened, then she shifted her arms a bit, covering herself better and preventing any 'views' if she leaned forward. "There's really no need to, Lok" she breathed, nervous herself: this wasn't something she'd told anyone who didn't serve the Casterwills. "All of my outfits have built-in support"
He blinked once, then he glanced upward, humming a bit. She looked at him, wondering what he was thinking.
"Built-in support, huh?" he said, making her blink: his tone was playful. "Knowing that, and knowing the short skirt you wear... it seems you look modest, but you're actually quite adventurous, Sophie"
She blushed more, feeling both nervous and happy that he said that. "Lok" she breathed, subconsciously leaning forward to hover over his face, really wanting another kiss.
Lok merely chuckled a bit, and judging from the lack of extra nervousness, she must have succeeded preventing any views of her cleavage. "Come here" he breathed, which she did eagerly; another deep loving kiss between them, his hand digging into her hair.
She gasped into the kiss, thrilled when their tongues battled again so soon. Of course, she wasn't content with keeping her arms where they were, so she moved them in the heat of passion, her hands wandering up his chest. Lok shivered a bit, but he responded well, his hands running over her bare back (which also sent shivers down her spine, literally).
"Mmh" she breathed into the kiss, both from the tongue battle, and Lok's hands running over her stomach. They didn't stay there though...
She actually moaned when Lok's hands found her breasts, which were a bit on the small side, but still modest and plump. And quite 'bouncy', from the simplest movements of this fingers, which was sending electricity through her btw.
"Too soon?" Lok breathed, despite his voice having a slight wanting tone to it.
She shook her head, looking at Lok with her own wanting gaze. "You should have done it earlier" she breathed in his ear, feeling completely warm, and loving every second of it.
An hour later
Lok and Sophie lay together in bed, still panting a bit and slightly sweaty. Still, they were clothed exactly how they'd been an hour ago: both bare from the waist up.
"I hope you didn't mind me stopping for now, Lok" Sophie whispered, her head resting on Lok's chest. "But I don't think I'm ready yet to do more"
"No" he breathed lightly, then chuckled just the slightest amount, holding her closer. "No, really it's okay, Sophie"
"It is?" she breathed, holding his hand in one of hers, even as she held him close.
"Yeah" he nodded, gently kissing the top of her head, which made her feel warm again. "I was feeling nervous when I saw you'd taken off your shirt, so I uh... I don't know how well I'd have done if we continued. But I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway"
She smiled softly, then moved up slightly, resting her head just under his chin. "If only we could fall asleep like this" she said, somewhat playfully.
"Much as I agree, it's still only noon" he said lightly, and they shared a laugh.
"I know, but I don't want to let go of you just yet" she breathed, closing her eyes.
"You'll have to eventually" he said, and she smiled in amusement; now he was being playful again.
"Don't think that will work" she said, playing his game, which she enjoyed. She'd always enjoy it, just as Lok instinctively liked games that challenged him.
"Oh I'm sure it will, and I'll have you know-"
Well, hope you all enjoyed the sweet moments that happened here XD
A bit late (and mature) for Valentine's Day, but hey, these things happen
