Dirty French for beginners
Sweet Pea had known that he was going to regret his decision of picking the same classes as Ruby for his second semester from the get-go. It wasn't just that she was the devil incarnate when it came to studying, but also that she liked a challenge. With all things in her life, of course. She loved having to work hard in order to get something. Something about the reward of success being enough. With Sweet Pea, that wasn't the case. Sure enough, he put his all into some things. His jobs with the Serpents, for example. Pissing off Jughead at every corner, too. He got joy from different activities, the reward of praise or someone else's anger. Doing good in class had never been a priority. Until Ruby, that was.
With her high expectations of good marks, Sweet Pea had been roped into studying more than ever in his life. He enjoyed most of those silly times to his fullest, whenever he saw the opportunity. There were plenty of stolen kisses in between revisions, holding hands at the library or seeking out a secluded spot in between rafters. He especially loved it when he bothered Ruby enough with soft touches all over her body in order for her to abandon her diligent work and jump him, usually quite literally. But, there was one class he regretted taking with her – French III. It was a course meant for juniors and it was positively kicking his ass. He didn't understand the grammar. He couldn't pronounce half of the things in his book. In fact, Sweet Pea had considered dropping the class and taking Spanish II with Toni and Fangs instead. Ruby's love for the language got him to endure the torture of breaking his tongue over the words, though. Sweet Pea had learned quickly that a few select phrases got her into a very bothered mood if pronounced correctly. Sexy French, she explained to him one day. Yet, there was nothing sexy about revising for a test.
"I can't pronounce it. I give up." Sweet Pea threw himself onto Ruby's bed, tossing his book in the direction of the empty spot next to her on the window seat. He'd been trying to read the lesson for the last half an hour, always getting stuck on the same words. That French 'u' was just too damn difficult!
"Oh, come on! You need to try harder, sasquatch." Ruby replied, putting her own book down and getting up. She crawled onto the bed and sat down on her legs next to him, looking at his pained expression in mild amusement.
"Seriously, it's insane. You read next and I'll listen." The French teacher had allowed Sweet Pea to pass his exam if he could read the lesson and translate, for a minimum grade. Ruby had also forced him to learn some proverbs in order to get the mark a bit further up, if possible. He had about half of them down, reading them out loud with her each day.
"I've read the lesson a dozen times already. It's your turn now." The girl grumbled and flopped down next to him on the bed. Even though they weren't touching, Sweet Pea could feel the heat of her soft body from beside him. It was beyond distracting.
"Est-ce que tu es aussi doux que tes yeux?" He asked, turning on his side and propping his head up with his hand. Ruby rolled her eyes and then faced him, as well.
"On peut parler seulement en français pour le pratiquer, si tu veux?" She returned with a straight face to his suggestive comment. When Sweet Pea gave her a confused look, Ruby translated. "We can speak only in French to practice if you want?"
"Si." He replied, drawing from his knowledge of Spanish.
"Oui, in that instance. Si is only used for negative questions." The girl instantly corrected. But, Sweet Pea was on a roll now and wouldn't back off.
"Vous êtes plus belle que dix milliards couchers de soleil." He struggled a bit with the words but figured that the pronunciation was alright when Ruby threw her head back, laughing. "Je peux vous offrir un verre?" He offered cheekily.
"Un verre de quoi?" She decided to play along making the tall biker light up like a Christmas tree.
"D'alcool, bien sûr." Sweet Pea was enjoying her giggling. However, she nodded at his offer of alcohol and he jumped up and off her bed, going downstairs. He'd become acquainted with the layout of Ruby's house on a number of occasions, finding the liquor cabinet easily. The tall biker thanked all the work behind the bar at the Wyrm he'd watched Toni do as he mixed up two Mudslides. Taking up the glasses, he found Ruby still on her bed, but now holding his French book. Sweet Pea resisted groaning at the sight. He would need to try harder. "Tu es une vilaine fille." He tutted at her and handed her the glass.
"Merci, mon petit chou." Ruby shot back as he settled himself next to her, leaning against the numerous pillows. She sipped her drink and gave him a thumbs up at the taste. Good. Now, all Sweet Pea needed was a bit more of her drinking and a few more phrases in French to properly distract her.
"Jetez vos pantalons!" He told her in a dramatic tone. It had the desired result, though. Ruby started laughing so bad that her drink almost spilled.
"D'accord." The girl agreed, standing up awkwardly by crawling to the edge of her bed with her glass in hand. She placed it on her nightstand and then undid the button of her jeans with a coy smile. Sweet Pea couldn't believe that his teasing sentence had actually worked. He placed his own drink on the nightstand, watching as she shimmied out of her bottoms and rejoined him on the bed. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her pastel blue panties with only a bit of lace on the sides. She was trying to give him a heart attack, he was certain.
Ruby crawled over to him and Sweet Pea readily pulled her onto his lap, enjoying the added heat on a cool February afternoon. He wished, though, that he could feel her bare legs on his skin, instead of only getting some second-hand heat through his pants. But, he knew that Ruby liked the feeling of rough clothing on her fresh. So, Sweet Pea decided to make the sacrifice.
He pulled her in by circling her smaller body with his flannel-clad arms, enjoying the soft sigh against his lips before she kissed him. He tasted the Mudslide on her tongue as it coaxed his into a lazy dance. There was just something special about kissing Ruby. She didn't know what she was doing half of the time, which she'd confessed to him, but that didn't stop her from trying new things. Always. She always wanted to test out a new technique she'd heard about.
Sweet Pea's fingers went up and down Ruby's back, skimming over the top of her underwear a few times, but not venturing further down. She broke off their tongue lock, instead opting to give him a few lazy kisses. She grazed his bottom lip with her teeth, pulling it a bit for a moment before letting go and pressing her lips against it. He allowed her to do whatever she wanted. As long as she was sitting on his lap in her underwear and not forcing him to read a French lesson, he was good. With the make-out session, he was even more than good. This was the kind of studying he liked doing with her, after all.
Ruby's eyes opened as she licked his bottom lip, sneaking only the tip of her tongue into his mouth to run across the back side of his teeth and skimming across the top of his mouth. Sweet Pea couldn't look away. Her hands went up from his chest, around his shoulders and tangled in his hair, nails scraping along his scalp. He groaned into her mouth which made her pull his tongue with her teeth before sucking on it gently, making his hips rise to press against hers. Ruby's legs squeezed around him in response. Then, the girl slowly pulled away, giving a few tender kisses before reaching over to grab his discarded French book. Sweet Pea panicked at the sight of it.
"Puis-je vous donner le sexe oral?" He asked in a low rumbling tone which he knew got her attention every time. This one wasn't an exception. Ruby's fingers, which had just grabbed onto the French textbook, threw it off the bed instead of pulling it closer.
"Peut-être." She replied in a teasing, yet breathless tone. But, Sweet Pea knew that that wasn't a maybe, but a yes. His hands didn't hesitate this time, going down her back and grasping the edge of her long-sleeved shirt, pulling it up. Ruby accommodated, her hands going up to let him slip the garment off her body. Then, she was sitting on his lap in only her pastel blue, lacy underwear, dark chocolate hair spilling across her shoulders in soft waves and creating a contrast against her pale skin. Sweet Pea groaned in a low tone and pulled her closer to him, swallowing her gasp with his heated kiss.
"Je t'aime." He breathlessly whispered against her lips when they came up for air.
"Moi aussi. Je t'aime, mon chouchou." Ruby told him with a soft giggle.
