[for Declan] Can't stop coming in hot

[girlsolo]

In the game of I never, Kate almost always loses. She grew up fast and grew up hard, and she's done all the things people usually ask about and plenty they don't. But if the question was I've never arranged a date for my boyfriend on his birthday, Kate wouldn't have to drink. She probably would drink, because truth isn't an absolute for Kate. It's what she wants someone to know or not know about her.

She's given up lying like breathing but she didn't tell anyone (but the one person who counts) she's never done anything like this before. The whole package. The individual parts are familiar. Like the LBD she put together from scraps of black fabric from the clothing box. The black heels which she hates to walk in, but are fine for standing, eating, and fucking in. The bland beige belted trenchcoat (hand-fitted, but not re-pieced). Even the loose shoulder-brushing curls and hints of kohl around her eyes. All familiar. Dinner reservations, check. Surprise dessert (or breakfast, depending on how they roll), check. Note in his mailbox and on his door, check. It's just putting them all together and making them work she's not sure about.

Not that she's ever admitting that to anyone. What Declan doesn't know, doesn't hurt him. And right now all he knows is to meet her at her place at sunset. Where she'll conveniently not be, just long enough for him to sit down and wait while Kate watches, invisible from behind some nearby trees.

"I know," Declan whispers and it's not cocky or conceited, it's just fact. She's his as much as he's hers and he likes it that way and seals it by sucking against her neck and scraping his teeth lightly to make a mark.

It's enough to tip him over the edge, too, being that possessive.

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

The scrape of his teeth take her with him, that and how sure he is. It's not explosive this time, but a slow, pulsing wave that starts deep in her cunt and sweeps out over her body into the palms of her hands and soles of her feet.

Instead of collapsing back and sprawling under him like she usually does, Kate pushes him off to the side and then immediately wraps her arm around his hips and burrows close.

[duerespectguv]

Declan kisses the top of her hair, curling close around her. He likes this, keeping her close, and it's possibly the best birthday present he could ever receive.

"Feeling all right, Katie?"

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

Kate nods sharply, eyes squeezed shut as she wraps more tightly around him. Like if she can't see it, she's not doing it. If she keeps her eyes shut, she's not practically begging for him to hold and love her.

It's stupid, is what it is. She's not a scared kid. She's a grown woman and it's all completely ridiculous.

She's still doing it.

[duerespectguv]

Declan just rubs her back for a moment, trying to soothe her and make sure she feels safe. It's important that she always feels safe with him, no matter what he has to do to make that happen.

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

"It's okay. I'm fine," she whispers to him, lips caressing along his throat. She doesn't want him to get the wrong idea. "We're good, babe." Too good. That's really the problem. It's too damn good and she doesn't know what to do with that.

"Just..." Her fingers curl against his abs. "You love me." She hopes he understands how huge that is.

[duerespectguv]

"I do," Declan confirms. No sense in taking it back when it bleeds through in every word and every action and since she doesn't seem to be running, it's all right for now.

"I do love you, Kate."

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

Her hair's stuck to her face. She's sweat-slick and her thighs are smeared with his cum. Any makeup she'd managed had to be streaked or running. Somehow she's never felt hotter in her life.

Kate smiles a little, soft and sort of shy, then presses a kiss to his mouth. "No one's ever been in love with me before." That she knows of. Except in that alternate timeline with Will and that wasn't her so it doesn't count.

[duerespectguv]

"Well, I am," Declan says, unable to keep from grinning like a giddy child. "It's probably insane but I don't really care."

Especially not when she'd gone to all this effort for his birthday like he's something special.

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

"Not insane." She sits up, abruptly, and runs her hand down his arm. "It's not insane. Reckless and stupid and I'll probably end up making you regret it like fifteen times a minute, but not crazy." Which is as close as she's coming to telling him how she feels as they're getting.

"Gonna guess we're not going out tonight, yeah?"

[duerespectguv]

"All signs point to no," Declan agrees. "I'm all right with that. We can have a date whenever you like, not just on my birthday. I'm more than happy to spend that in bed with you and filled up with just you."

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

Kate looks pointedly down between her thighs, the back at him, eyebrow high and laughter curling the corners of her mouth. "Unless you want me to haul out a strap-on, I think it's you filling me up, babe." She leans down to kiss his mouth. "Hungry at all for anything that isn't me?"

[duerespectguv]

"Not really," Declan admits. "But I guess we could eat if you wanted. I just don't want to get dressed to do it."

More importantly, he didn't want her to get dressed but he guesses that's a bit implied.

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

"Not even if you don't have to get out of bed for it?" she asks, all playful tease and bright eyes. It could wait 'til tomorrow, but she kind of...it's in her head this way now. "I might have to pout if you say no."

[duerespectguv]

"As long as I don't have to get out of bed or get dressed, we can eat," Declan says, laughing a little. He brushes his thumb against her lower lip, teasing where there would be a little pout.

"I want to see you pout, actually. I think you'd be damned cute."

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

Her eyes roll first, then she shakes her head and pops him in the good shoulder. "I don't pout on command," she snarks and hops off the futon before he can make a grab for her.

She's not going far. Just to the basket along the wall where her fabric scraps are.

[duerespectguv]

"More's the pity. I guess I just need to get you to sulk so I can get the full effect."

Declan doesn't move, mostly because he's admiring the view and he's perfectly all right with staying naked for round three.

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

Kate's totally comfortable naked in front of him. So comfortable she's not even self-conscious about the show she's giving him when she bends over to reach into the basket. She's still swollen and slick and sticky with his cum and she figures that's as much birthday present as any Alpha male needs.

It probably doesn't hurt that she flashes him a sly little smile across her shoulder while she's still head down and ass up. Or that she's got her arms behind her back hiding the bag of goodies (and pushing out her breasts) when she walks back over to him.

"Gonna have to be satisfied with sultry instead of sulky tonight. I'm not in the mood for pouting."

[duerespectguv]

"Now what's this, love?" Declan asks, sitting up and watching her with interest. She's already given him more than enough as far as presents go and he can't imagine what she wants to give him now.

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

Kate cocks an eyebrow at him when he doesn't make a grab for her or slide his fingers against her still shiny thighs. Sometimes he's too sweet for his own good. But she can help him out with that, and does, straddling his lap and sliding the bag around behind him so he can't see it. "Mmm. Guess."

She can smell the pastry in the bag, but chicks have better sense of smell than guys. Plus, she knows it's there. It's hard to smell anything but sex in this room.

[duerespectguv]

"No idea, sweetheart," Declan says, reaching around her to grab the bag. "Are we going to keep playing keep away, though, or have I been a good enough boy for my present?"

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

"Hmph." She lifts the bag up over her head, which doesn't do a lot of good to keep it away from him. It does leave her entirely open and vulnerable to his attacks though. Whatever form they take. "Did you just call me 'sweetheart'?"

She's not annoyed. She's grinning. She's never been anyone's sweetheart before. It's kind of cute.

[duerespectguv]

"Yes," Declan says, taking the opportunity to tickle her ribs and try to make her drop the bag.

"Not being very sweet right now, though, maybe I should take it back."

[girlsolo.livejournal.com]

Kate snorts a soft laugh. "I have a baby brother. You're going to have to do better than that." She drops her arms back down around his neck though and leans in to kiss him. When she does, she purrs at him and rolls her hips against him. "What exactly is not sweet about me, naked, in your lap where you can have me any way you want me?"

[duerespectguv]

"Point," Declan murmurs, sliding one hand up to cup and tease her breast. "You always have good points, though. My sweetheart, I guess, even if you're not being very sweet and you're being a tease."
