Ruby moaned softly into Pyrrha's mouth as she lay halfway on top of her girlfriend. She could get so lost in the feeling of the redhead's mouth and tongue, her hands roaming across her back in gentle caresses while Blake's hand stroked her arm. She could tell without opening her eyes that the raven-haired girl was kissing along Pyrrha's arm while the other hand played with the taller girl's hair.
Times like this, lazy weekend nights when they had the dorm room to themselves and there were no worries pressing upon their minds… Moments like these, rare enough in the five months she'd been dating them, were the ones the brunette treasured the most, when she could just bask in the presence of these two extraordinary women, in their love and warmth.
Didn't hurt that they were awesome kissers as well.
Her moan intensified as Pyrrha slid a hand under the back of her pajama shirt, gliding her fingers far up and across her skin before dipping back out again.
Wait, what was that? Was that… an invitation, maybe?
They'd had a few conversations in the past, group Truth or Dare sessions notwithstanding, where the three of them had rather frank discussions about where they felt they were with each other, physically. Well, as much as they could with being unable to look each other in the eyes, blushing furiously all the while.
Eventually what they'd come to a consensus over was that they were fine with things as they were, but as had come out during the game last week, both Blake and Ruby were willing to take things further.
Pyrrha, however, preferred to go at a slower pace, and her other girlfriends were more than content to let her set said pace. None of them felt right taking any steps that any of them were not comfortable taking.
But lately, the leggy redhead had been a little more… adventurous in where her hands roamed. Ruby had been very careful to only reciprocate her actions, but sometimes…
Sometimes her hormones got the better of her.
Like now.
Her small hands were caressing Pyrrha's stomach over her nightshirt when the redhead's hand slipped once more, this time across Ruby's chest, ever so slightly brushing up against the bottom of her breasts. The brunette gasped softly at the contact, and her own hands eagerly wandered their way north, only for Pyrrha to suddenly stiffen and pull back from their kiss.
Realizing her error, Ruby quickly shot up onto her forearms. "I'm sorry!" she exclaimed worriedly. "I'm really, really sorry, I just… I got a little carried away, I didn't mean…"
"It's… It's alright, Ruby," Pyrrha panted, her face flushed. Blake was leaning with her head supported on one hand and alongside Pyrrha's other side, looking between the two of them in concern.
"I just… I suck sometimes at cues, y'know?" Ruby mumbled, downcast. "I thought, maybe… you wanted to, um… do more?"
"I…" Pyrrha sighed, chewing on her bottom lip. "I'm nervous."
Ruby's gaze shot back up. "What?"
"Pyrrha, sweetie, whatever for?" Blake murmured reassuringly. "It's just us, there's nothing to be nervous about."
The redhead closed her eyes, a bright blush spreading across her cheeks. "I know you both want more… and believe me, I do as well… I am just not sure… what to do." She puffed her cheeks as she blew out an anxious breath. "And I am sorry if I am sending… mixed signals."
"Don't you apologize, fluffy fox," Ruby implored, bending back down to hug her girlfriend tightly. "Just tell us what you want."
"But that is the problem," Pyrrha whispered despondently. "I do not know what I want."
Ruby let out a sigh as she glanced over at the raven-haired girl on the other side. Blake was gently stroking back Pyrrha's hair, a worried look on her face.
Okay, then. Maybe I just need to… step up.
"Alright." Ruby sat all the way up, straddling one of Pyrrha's legs and with her hands on her hips. "Would it help for you to hear what I'd like? Because I really would like us to all be on the same page here."
Two pairs of eyes, one emerald green and one amber, both looked back at her with equal amounts of love, trust, and devotion. "Go ahead, little rose," Pyrrha whispered with a small smile.
"So, I really like… kissing. A lot. And…" Ruby cleared her throat. "I wanna fool around more. Not like… sex. Yet. But, yeah, other stuff."
Pyrrha nodded slowly and licked her lips. "I… can get behind that idea," she replied, her voice still just above a whisper.
Blake just nodded wordlessly, a small smirk on her face which conveyed more than just acceptance at her statement. It was more of an encouragement to keep going.
To be the dominant one in their relationship.
"Okay," Ruby breathed. "So, you're good with this, my fluffy little fox? And you too, right, my little kitty cat?"
The pair of them grinned at the affectionate nicknames and murmured their agreement.
"Okay then," Ruby began once more. "So, I wanna play with your boobs."
Pyrrha's eyes bugged out, while Blake's head fell back as she snickered merrily.
"I...see…" the redhead mumbled. "Er… that… actually sounds… quite lovely…"
"You sure?" the brunette pressed once more. "I don't want you to feel pressured, or- or- or like you have to do this to, I dunno, keep our affection, 'cause I'm gonna love you no matter what, even if all we ever do is snuggle, I mean, that's fine, really, so long as we're together-"
Pyrrha reached up and laid her fingers over the babbling teen's lips. "Ruby. I am fine with it."
She gave her fingers a quick kiss before they retracted. "Right." She took a deep breath, and with a rapid motion reached down, stripped her top off, and flung it onto the bed behind her.
The reactions of her girlfriends were quite memorable. If she didn't know better, the brunette thought that Blake might have started drooling slightly, while Pyrrha simply looked stunned.
But they both looked very, very pleased with the development.
Her grin widening, Ruby snapped her fingers to get their attention. "Come on, ladies, I want to see fewer clothes here. Tops off."
Ruby watched hungrily as they complied, rising up just enough to slip their sleepwear shirts off. It left the both of them only in their panties, as their nightclothes were one-piece outfits.
"Hmm, didn't think about that," Ruby mused, still grinning widely. "Oh, well, I can work with this." She dropped back onto her rear and shimmied out of her pajama bottoms before resuming her previous stance. "There, now we're even."
Pyrrha let out a breathy little laugh as Blake draped herself back across her, nuzzling into her neck. "Then why are you still up there?"
"An excellent point, sweetie," Ruby giggled, lowering herself down once more and relishing in the feeling of their skin brushing up against each other.
"Oh, yeah," she murmured before her lips caressed Pyrrha's once more. "I am the luckiest girl in all of Remnant…"
A/N: So, yeah, I'm kinda skirting the T rating line here, but I think it still follows the rules. Their relationship continues to improve, physically, though I'm not going much into the details obviously. That's what A Thorny Bind is for.
I tried very hard to portray the three of them as being in a mutually respectful relationship, though Pyrrha is the most hesitant, primarily through her own inexperience and fears. She's willing, but not to make the first moves. So once more we see Ruby as the dominant force in the group, but only so long as she is sure they are all together. And nope, not sex yet, still haven't crossed that line. Yet.
DarthMaine: Patience, Grasshopper… Weiss' future plans shall be revealed in a few short chapters.
ILikeHotDogs: Ha, I'm either a sleepy or depressed drunk. Also why I rarely ever get all the way drunk. Happy buzzes are quite enough.
Demonic Angel C: 'Tis true, the power of the pout is a terrifying and beautiful thing to behold…
NobleMETA: *gasp* Leaving a teaser for Room 205 within a review for another story, isn't that like breaking the fourth wall or something? Maybe the fifth or sixth wall? (You have to be Deadpool to do 16 walls.) I dunno, either way it's pretty sweet. Always love reading Truth or Dare inclusions, and if it does happen to occur… well, the very world might just tremble from what madness the legion might bring forth...
THB4: I think perhaps Coco was merely there to console Velv after her date, and one thing led to another. It's been known to happen.
Boarador: Thanks! I could indeed see Ruby's pout having the power to stop a charging Ursa in its tracks.
Gorsouul: Honestly, writing Purruby has grown on me as well. I started this out just as a crack ship to see who might like it, but I'm having a blast with them. I'm just gonna keep on churning out the fluff as long as the mood suits me. And thanks for the comment about the side stories - I'm trying very hard to keep this plot-free while still tossing in little morsels on how others around Purruby are doing. Also, much thanks for the constructive criticism, I do tend to skimp on the environmental details some within this particular story, but I'll work on fleshing things out a little more. Thanks very much for all the kind words!
Stay shiny!
