Interesting, interesting What if I wanted you to stay still while I rubbed up against you cause I only wanted to get comfortable Think you could do it? I'm not so sure you could
[ Good thing their quarters are so close to one another. He doesn't knock this time around, just strolls in - Gideon even opens the door for him, which makes Nate look up as he walks through into Sara's quarters. ]
( "my apologies, mr. heywood, but that level of command is reserved strictly for the captain," comes gideon's response, which makes sara flat out laugh as she lifts her head to watch him walk in from her perch, cross-legged on her bed. )
I didn't realize I was getting a physical demonstration for this one.
I dunno about carried away, ( she starts, setting her phone on the side table next to her bed with a small thump. ) Seems to me like you came to a natural conclusion after thinking about my ass. Besides, I like a man of action.
( and sara's gaze may or may not wander to the aforementioned boner that he may or may not have pressing against the front of his jeans before she meets his gaze again, offers a smile that's maybe a little too pleased. )
[ She doesn't have to tell him twice. In three steps, he's standing in front of Sara, hands framing her face as he leans down to kiss her, fingers threading through silky soft hair. When he pulls back, it's only to speak right against her lips. ]
Still think Gideon should not record this, by the way.
( sara pushes herself up onto her knees to meet him maybe a third of the way, lips against his in a kiss that's probably far more tender and sweet than it has any right to be. it comes with the familiarity of this by now, she supposes, even if she still isn't sure there should be a familiarity.
but she doesn't regret any of this, certainly not in moments like these when it's just him and her tucked away into her quarters, when she's free to do more than just steal a knowing glance on a mission, maybe let her teeth drag against her lower lip as if a promise as to what's to come later on aboard the ship.
fingers curled into the soft cotton of his henley — a habit by now — she holds tight as she scoots further back onto her bed, leaves him maybe just enough room to lay down with her. )
Gideon and I had a little girl talk earlier and I think we're on the same page about things now. As long as you don't get on her bad side.
[ Not that he would ever say the words to Sara - or anyone else for that matter - but, in his head, this is a relationship. And she might not be much of a romantic (or at least she likes to pretend she isn't), but Nate is, and it's exactly why they get some moments like these, less about the urgency of sex and more about the comfort of intimacy.
She pulls him in and he kicks off his boots before lying by her side, pressed to her from toes to knees to hips to chest to nose. He chuckles, as his hand slides around her hip, just holding her close. ]
Believe me, I do try to keep her happy, but I just keep on messing up. What page are you guys on, then?
( sara scoots a little to get more comfortable, lets herself relax against him, an arm draped lazily over his middle and her hand grazing idly, nice and slow, against the fabric of his shirt at his back.
in moments like these, she's softer than she'll ever let herself be seen elsewhere, something sara's not quite cognizant of. sure, her wit's nearly as sharp as the knife collection that's just waiting in her bedside table for her to use, but something about all this makes her feel a little silly, like she's that dumb girl chasing boys she shouldn't have back in high school.
the heel of her foot hooks against his ankle, tugs his leg towards hers so she can wrap her calves around him, all tangled and a little clingy. ) Am I sexy cuddling yet?
[ He remembers first coming on to the ship and being faced with Sara's worry for his safety, for his life. Showing heart in ways she hadn't before, a little vulnerable even though they barely knew each other, and he could have used it against her.
But he hadn't, and their relationship had only grown from there. Out of everything they've become, this is the most important thing to him - her trust. He's pretty sure he's the only one to ever see her like this on the ship, and it fills him with pride and fondness, all too happy to let her wrap herself all over him. ]
Well you're incredibly sexy, and we're definitely cuddling right now, so... I'm sure it counts. I imagined less clothes, but this - this is nice.
( there's a huff of laughter at his answer, head ducked low, breath warm against his chest. )
I'm sure you did, ( sara teases as she tips her chin back up, a suspicious eyebrow raised that's counteracted by the smile playing at her lips. ) Considering last I heard, you were getting hard thinking about me grinding up against you.
( but guess who's nice enough to wiggle herself out of her shorts she'd intended on sleeping in, down over tanned legs even if it takes a little finagling to kick them off with how she's got their legs all tangled up. )
Yeah well, clothes or not, that's still happening, so.
[ As if to prove his point, he presses closer to her before she even moves, and then she decides to take off her shorts, his hand immediately moving down to squeeze at her ass, pulling her to him as his eyes roll to the back of his head for a second. ]
Damn, Sara. You know I have managed not to come in my pants for the past 20 years, and I didn't really plan on starting again now.
( toes curl and there's a low hum as his palm smooths over the curve of her ass, gives it a squeeze, and her own palm grazes lower so her index finger can curl into the belt loop at his lower back.
sara would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy the thought of sending him over the edge with barely a single touch — it's intensely satisfying, maybe enough to make her press her thighs a little closer together. )
Maybe you should have to remember how it feels, ( she remarks, voice low. ) Or you could take them off and come somewhere else.
I'd rather really not remember how being a teenager feels like, actually.
[ It wasn't the best of times, honestly. And the rest of her offer is a lot, a lot more tempting.
So he pops the button on his jeans, pulling them down his legs, kicking them off in the most graceful way he can, which is, really, not all that graceful at all. But being in his underwear with Sara plastered against his front is well worth looking like a dork for a second. ]
