CREATURE.

marcia snorts the gentle hand on his back pushing forward to make room in the tiny motel shower, moving around alec’s body to get under the lukewarm spray of water.

she tilts her head up, pushing her hair back to look him in the eyes. “ last time i let you take a shower first you used up all the hot water. ” her voice teasing as she grabs the soap, lathering her hands and washing the dirt and grime from her body; letting out a soft moan of relief for a moment, her eyes fluttering shut as she feels everything wash off of her.

marcia’s eyes narrow and her lips tighten into a frown as their bodies press together, adrenaline still pumping through her veins from the hunt they barely made it through just moments ago. 

her lungs burn from the chase, panting at the exertion of it all; later when the adrenaline dies down her body will be littered with bruises, sore from the beat down she took but none of that registers in her head at this moment because all she can think about is the stubborn idiot getting himself hurt because he couldn’t be bothered to shut up and listen—

her body moves before she can think. 

hands fisting his shirt, twisting and tugging back until he’s close enough to press her lips against his in a crude semblance of a kiss except it was all teeth and hunger. marcia pushes herself up on the balls of her feet, free arm wrapping around his shoulder, pressing herself impossibly further into him before she abruptly pulls back. 

her body feels like an electric wire. she takes in a shuddering breath, her focus lingers on his lips, then dart up to lock eyes with his. 

she only half listens to him, moving across the room and gently smacking his hand away from the bandaged area over his wound and replacing it with her own. “ you’re the worst patient i’ve ever tended too. ” and she’s serious because she’s met children who were more obedient and listened to their doctor better than the hybrid, but the twitch of her frown gives away her amusement at his foul attitude.

marcia hums, the sound a purr in the back of her throat as cards her fingers through the hybrid’s sandy brown hair. “ i didn’t think you’d actually do it if i’m being honest. ”

she shifts from her spot on the bed causing her shorts to ride up and the coarse material of the cheap hotel bedding against her thighs start making her skin itch but she ignores the discomfort in favor of leaning forwards, her hands slowly moving from massaging her fingers in his hair to the area between his neck and shoulder, repeating her soothing motions with strong fingers kneading and melting away the tension.

“ i’m kinda embarrassed, ” she hums again, voice barely above a whisper, “ i hadn’t planned this far ahead. ” though, she doesn’t sound embarrassed at all; she spoke as if she was a little bit in awe at that gift he’d just given her— the huntress can’t seem to take her eyes off him at all, entranced at the image of him at her feet— as she willfully ignored the familiar heat building up inside her. it’s been so long since someone managed to rile her up like this, she’d almost forgotten what it felt like. “ not really sure what to do with you now that i’ve gotten you down there. ”

her hand on his shoulder pauses in its ministrations as she tilts her head to the side, her gaze locked with his as she slowly moved to hook a finger into the collar of his shirt and gently tugging him forward until he’s nestled nicely between her thighs, the heat of his body doing nothing but stoking the fire of her own. she presses her against his jaw but doesn’t do anything else.
