( it were times like these she could turn off her brain. channel out spirit, the voices, & be present in her own mind. her own body. perhaps, that's why riley slept around like she did. had so many on & off things, so many one nighters. )

setting her bag down, full of papers to grade for the weekend, the woman sighs as she kicks off her shoes. not two minutes before had she let parker into her house.

he was rambling, going on & on about something. truthfully, in this moment ... after the day she's had ... she didn't want to hear it. respectfully. so, she unbuttons her over jacket to toss it aside. eyes focus on her reflection as earrings are taken off, as the clip in her hair is removed. ❛ listen, man, ❜ she begins, ❛ you can ramble later. ❜ she's very direct, body turning with a raised brow. ❛ we both know why you're ova here, or ... what i want out of it anyways. ❜ hand on her hip, ❛ you gonna fuck me or keep runnin' your mouth all night ? ❜

there's a soft grin that settles at the corner of lara's mouth, something pleased and nearly happy. she's naked under him, skin soft against the sheets of her bed. " mh, i don't know. you do have a jealous streak inside you. " it's something she picked up on within the first six months of working together; the way he stared just a little longer when lara spoke to another man. hell, it's why they're in bed again, parker's teeth marks imprinted in her shoulder and bruises peppering her neck and thighs. it's ... nice. lara likes the feeling of being owned, especially if it's by someone she can finally trust.
