[It's times like these that Lucretia can't imagine this is real. To have Lup so warm and close and alive, giving her a look like she always dreamed she would. It doesn't matter what's changed between them. It doesn't matter where they even were. It mattered so much more that Lup was here, and present, and Lucretia didn't know if she could ever take her hands off her again.
She slides her hand from Lup's arm to the caress of her cheek, pressing her palm over top as if to hold her there.]
I-- of course. Look what you've already done, I'm a mess.
[But she's smiling, chuckling in a way that could only be good natured.]
I guess some parts of me are still the same. At least, whatever it is that has to do with you. I feel like we could be back on the ship.
[She wants to live here, in this moment forever, carve a life from memory and bone and the eternity she feels right now. That would be enough. That would be all she needs.]
[Lup inhales, a quick hiccup of a breath, like Lucretia's said something that's surprised her, that's hit her deep. And though her wet lips part, the look on her face so plainly showing there's something she wants to say, Lup's eyes dart from Lucretia's mouth to her eyes, then back to her mouth before she's hesitating, the words right there at the tip of her tongue.
But then the elf is tipping forward and kissing the other woman again, drowning out her unspoken thoughts with a passionate meeting of their mouths.
It hurts too much, to say she wishes that they were back on the ship, with all of their family, with all of this nasty business behind them. No voidfish eating their memories. No Taako not knowing who she is. Just back to the easy days of Barry's familiar warmth at her side. To Lucretia's shy laughter. To their family being whole and happy.
Kissing Lucretia is so much easier than dealing with her hurt.
Lup deepens the kiss, teeth grazing the woman's bottom lip, as she shifts above her, straddling over her hips, her long hair falling down around them. This is how she wants to spend her afternoon, wrapped up in this woman, not alone. She's not sure she can handle alone again.]
[She sees that. Of course she sees that, how could she not? Lucretia has had to get observant, careful, so absolutely certain of people's intentions and ideas towards her in seconds. Of course, her immediate reaction is that she's said something wrong, something that cuts instead of something that comforts. She doesn't want to do that to Lup. Never wanted to hurt her, but of course she has, when Taako is here and doesn't even know her face. Leave it to Lucretia, to have a night of flirting and fun and being in each other's arms only for her to ruin it--
As it turns out, kissing Lup is much easier than dealing with her hurt, too.
She shudders under Lup's touch, inviting her in with an open mouth and a roll of her hips to make it easy for the other woman to get comfortable. This is what she wanted for a hundred years- can't she enjoy it? Can't she be happy, at once, for herself?
Lucretia shifts her hands up Lup's chest instead of thinking further, cupping her breasts and leaving her left hand there as she moves her right up towards Lup's neck to cradle her jawline.
Forget thinking, forget-- forget the hurt. Let herself have this. Let herself have something.]
[At least that's one thing they are wholly in agreement of.
Every movement of Lucretia's screams for Lup to continue, to swoop down and consume the other woman whole, from that teasing roll of her hips, her inviting open mouthed kisses, the way she reaches for the elf's chest.
As incredible as the kissing is, nothing can really stop Lup from speaking, her lips brushing up against Lucretia's mouth with every word, kissing her between syllables.]
Someone's sure eager, huh? When's the last time you got laid, gorgeous? I gotta know what level of desperate I'm dealing with.
[The elf grins there, wide and sharp, smile stretching against Lucretia's mouth before she's diving right in for another hard kiss, hot and long, teeth gnashing together indelicately when Lup's whole body tips forward against hers.]
[She's so stuck between wanting to be swept off her feet and just telling Lup to stop fucking around already. She's been alone for a while, and that's no surprise. The fact she has a shot at this is not going to be lost on her if it kills her.
But still, she finds herself laughing a bit between times where their mouths match, even as she savors the feelings of getting to feel Lup's chest, her body on hers.]
It's-- I wouldn't say desperate, exactly.
[But y'know, Lup, don't try to pull back because she's never letting go, thanks.]
How could I not with you here, I-- how long do you plan to tease me?
[Lup falls into silence after that, pressing close to Lucretia and kissing her hard, hips grinding down against hers while slim fingers dance playfully along the other woman's sides.
She wants to revel in this beautiful feeling, of the two of them finally coming together after decades upon decades of quiet longing, warmth building up in the pit of Lup's belly and spreading out to each of her limbs. For the moment, she feels like she could stay here forever in Lucretia's bed, devouring her over and over and over, and never once feel satisfied.
In fact -
Lup steals another hard kiss from Lucretia, teeth and lips and tongue all at once, before she's pulling away with a laugh, panting softly while gazing down, soft affection lingering between the hunger in her eyes.]
[She has the feeling she wanted to be more subtle about it-- a more put together, more thoughtful response in line with the persona she's built over the years-- but also hey I just had a thought, fuck this. Lucretia is past the point of giving a shit, and Lup certainly harbors no unknowns of her. So yes, definately, absolutely.
Lucretia moves her hands again, palm over Lup's chest, fingers squeezing into soft breast and reveling in the way even that makes her head spin.]
Please. What took you so long?
[She punctuates it with a grin, playful and wanting. They have all the time in the world.]
What, been waiting long to get this bomb mouth on you, babe? I see how it is.
[It's all the permission that the elf needs, Lup swooping in for one more lingering, deep kiss to the other woman's mouth before she's pulling away with a teasing grin, sitting up straight over Lucretia and just taking a moment to survey the gorgeous view in front of her.
Lucretia is as gorgeous as ever, maybe even just a touch more now that she's more woman than girl, so powerful and sure of herself and always ready with a witty retort to throw right back at Lup. There's so much of the years that separate them that Lup doesn't know yet, so much that's happened to make Lucretia into the woman she is today, but looking down at her right now? All Lup sees is the beautiful hunger in her eyes, the comforting warmth of her skin, the attractive way she helps herself to Lup's body.
She's perfect, everything that Lup's ever imagined.]
Mm, get real comfy. [She slips down between Lucretia's legs, reaching out to give her thigh an affectionate smack.] Chagirl's 'bout to rock your world.
[It's ironic in the way she's asking Lup to move but still clinging to her before she does, learning into her mouth, reluctant to let go. Even as she's just waiting, exposed under Lup's eyes, she's left wanting to drag her back to let their bodies find contact. Instead, her arms simply fall back to the bed, hands splayed over the mattress and a grin on her lips. It's impossible to really hold herself back here, and for once, she doesn't want to. Years of reservation have prepared her for this moment, a time where she can simply enjoy what she wants.
So she shifts just enough on the bed to let Lup in, a little disbelieving that this is really happening to her in this moment.]
Well, just be careful of my hip, you know, it can get really rough for an old woman like me.
[She looks very, very serious at Lup on that, and waits to see if the elf will call her bluff. Knowing Lup, she'll understand that it's a goof- or she'll have to show her later, when they're a little more busy.]
