[ Squirmy and restless is nothing but the highest of compliments, particularly given how composed she typically is. He can't stoop enough to get further than her collarbone, which is truly a shame, but he's nothing if not creative. Certainly rushing would be it's own sort of insult, so he slowly, deliberately works his way back up her neck, taking his very sweet time and lightly grazing his teeth over her jaw on his way back to her mouth. Once there he takes a good, long moment to get her lost in the kiss and everything she's feeling before he needs to fiddle around with the unfortunate matter of logistics. ]

[ Shrugging off the wool coat jacket that had been hanging open, he reaches behind him to fold it once and then drape it over the observation tower railing. Not as a clothes hanger, or at least not only that. ]

[ His hands circle her waist to draw her close again, less restrained this time, and lift her against him so he can take a few steady steps backwards and seat her down on the now-padded railing, which should be comfortable enough for a moment. It won't do for long, but he doesn't want to stop and negotiate anything more complicated. If she'll part her knees for him he'll steps in close again, palm sliding down the silk that's draped over her leg. ]

[ However delicate and sharp his features, his build is that of a broad-shouldered field hand this is literally in The Lightning Tree not just being self indulgent honest, and a winded one at that. Normally he's a bit less affected than this, but there is the entire trip over to consider, and that in his arms is someone whose company he genuinely enjoys with no ulterior motives at play. ]

[ He huffs when she speaks, breath shuddering even though he doesn't. Though Gent is a patient one, her impatience is fascinating. But giving in, tempting as it is, would do her a disservice. If she has one game in this body, perhaps, the experience should be worth her while. ]


I intend to show you. [ His voice is lowered to a near-baritone, which he purrs against her cheek. He stoops forward to kiss her neck again, at the pulse point, while a hand rustles with the silks that cover her leg, aiming to get beneath them. ] It takes time to do a thing properly.

[ His hand curls on the small of her back to yank her flush against him. ] But you are a wonder, so you'll forgive me if I might be tempted to reconsider my patience, now and then.

[ If his hand finds a path beneath her silks then his eager fingertips drag up past her knee, halfway up her thigh. ]

[ He smiles against her neck as his hand slides beneath layers of underskirt and petticoats -- how like her to dress as a noble. Royalty, really. Fortunately, his capable hand is accustomed to such obstacles and deftly finds its slow, teasing way across the top of her thigh to her hip, making a swirling path that aims to touch of much of her skin as possible. ]

The only sure way is to do as you like. I'm yours to explore. [ As ways to say "get as handsy as you like" go, it's as elegant as any. He kisses her mouth again, more urgent and insistent now, wanting her focus on many things other than words. ]

[ His free hand skims down her soft curves, seeking whatever ties or fastenings hold the topmost layer of silk in place and making quick enough work of it, the sweeping rustle of cloth as he opens her dress a delightful backdrop. The hand beneath her skirts releases her hip so his fingertips can slide down the crook of her thigh, so close to where she must want them. Slowly, his touch light and teasing, his thumb circles closer, greedily awaiting her responses. ]

[ He's able to untie and unravel her various trappings with one hand and without so much as glancing down -- capable hands, indeed. Not his first time contending with the many layers of high-ranking women's clothing, he rather enjoys it actually. He makes the process its own seduction, slowly unwinding and peeling away the cloth, delighting in each new inch of skin. Her skirt is slowly rucked up by his other hand, bunching around her hips. ]

[ When her fingertips find where his wings meet skin he gasps against her mouth, unprepared for that particular spot to be sensitive. His feathers fan out and curl around them, encouraging and eager. ]

[ Once as much of her clothes are away as is possible just now he pulls her against his chest, this being the most efficient way to touch as much of her as possible. His mouth trails down her neck again, nipping at her skin in a path along her collarbone to her shoulder. He's forced to consider the need to once again move -- the floor seems less than ideal, cold and uncomfortable, but there isn't much for it. He wishes her to move freely, he wants that skirt off, and he has plans this railing will not suffice for. He'll have to ensure he warms her and distracts her sufficiently. And his wings are flexible and comfortable enough to rest beneath her once he coaxes her onto her back. ]

[ Very well, then. He hooks his hand behind one of her knees to pull her leg up around his waist, hoping the other will follow. With one hand wrapping her waist again, the other sliding under her ass and lifting her from beneath her skirt (which is a pleasant resting place if ever there was one), he plucks her off the railing and into his arms. ]


Let us find somewhere with more freedom to move, hm? [ His voice is short-winded, low and muffled against her. While he has her up there he keeps her held tight against him, pressed flush from shoulders to hips, which is delightfully distracting. ]

[ He shifts her full weight into one arm and with the other he grabs the railing so he can settle himself down in a seated position on the floor with her atop him. There now; his hands skim up her flanks to cup her face and he kisses her again, full and unrestrained. With her hips pressing his down there's no mistaking his interest. ]

[ There cannot be enough said for Peak Conventional Attractiveness, as far as he's concerned. (And he sort of is himself, so. Magical beings make fucking pretty humans is the takeaway here.) His hands, soft and strong and nimble, skim over her, drinking her in. Everything from the graceful arch of her back to the lush curves of her hips (perfectly suited for a hand, in his opinion) to the swell of her breasts against his chest to the softness of her hair is well worth some time to revel in, and he does just that. ]

[ She's more than welcome to his pants and everything beneath them, which includes not a stitch of clothing ALSO CANON which I point out because it's incredible. He hums against her neck and shifts his hips toward her touch without the slightest hint of shyness. Modesty wouldn't suit him at all. Whatever plans are flitting through his head -- and there are many -- can wait until her curiosity is well satisfied. ]

[ In the meantime he huffs slightly heavier breaths against her ear and gently pulls the skin of her neck through his teeth, never one to waste time idle. ]

[ He laughs a bit as she stills and gropes around, too charmed and amused to take things seriously at the moment. Welcome to Human Anatomy 101, please take your seats and write down three things you want to learn this semester. ]

Something you need answered, my Lady?

[ Mmhmm sure ]

[ But he's here to satisfy her curiosity as well as other things, so he slides onto his back and lifts his hips just enough to get his pants off them while he works on kicking off his boots without disturbing her. ]


Look and touch all you like. Trust me, it'll prove useful. [ He'll just be waiting to jump back in when she's out of Observation Mode and back into Experimentation Mode. ]

[ The amount of time some mortal men spend obsessing on these very questions. Needless and pointless in his mind. ]

More or less. [ Quite literally! ] I usually have concerns other than measurements. Though I suppose you could host a survey if you're curious. [ Who does he need to bribe to make this happen?? ]

[ He sits up again, one palm on the floor to support himself and the other wrapping around her waist. Reacting to her touch with a catch of his breath. ]
It's nothing you need worry about. Humans were built for this to work.

[ His demeanor softens considerably. ] My thanks for the trust. I'll be a good steward of it. [ For all his amusement, he knows what it means for someone to be exposed (ha!) to something new. She'd have been within her rights to change her mind, so it's up to him to make her glad she hasn't. ]

[ He seems like he might have said more, but his words fall away when her hand moves. He leans forward, nuzzling into her neck, making a quiet but distinctly approving sound. For someone unfamiliar, she sure dives right in. A few thick exhales and he finds his voice again. ]


I mean to ensure you're... prepared. [ He's not going to be able to explain this in euphemisms, and the normal terms might not mean much to her, so here's hoping that trust extends a bit more into the unfamiliar. ] If I might lay you on your back?

[ He fans three of his wings out against the floor. He didn't mean plop her onto the cold ground, absolutely not! ]

[ It's far too much to ask that she not think about what they just discussed, so he won't bother. He has no intention of rushing anyway. ]

[ Curling over to rest on one elbow, he rests his hip on the floor in a pose which makes it quite evident that he isn't about to press into her. Instead he leans down and kisses her, slow and intense, only aiming to get her thoughts elsewhere and the mood properly suited once again. He expects this might take some time, he's prepared to offer as much as necessary. His other hand rests on her waist, gentle and patient. ]

[ He lives to be unexpected, and also not unwelcome if he can help it. He's not about to act like a drunken mortal boy in his fifteenth year taking his first go at a woman. Fortunately, his attitudes about sex come from a different culture entirely so he believes she deserves for this not only to not be unpleasant, but for it to be very pleasant. ]

[ He scoops up her hand and rests it on his chest, which she liked exploring before. His mouth leaves hers only to lavish kisses over her jaw and down her neck, teeth grazing the harder turn of her collarbone. His hand moves to rest on her hip, sliding down her thigh. Slow and lazy. ]
