#do me instead

Being a witch really wasn’t as exciting as some people thought. Zoe was fairly new to witchcraft when she was assigned as a council member for Cordelia, and she didn’t have all the spells mastered herself, so how was she supposed to help the new girls with their magic if she couldn’t even help herself? That was the main reason she was flipping through the tattered old pages of the grimoire, silently mouthing the words to spells in attempt to remember them for if the time ever came up that she needed to use them. She’d been so distracted by the old book that she hadn’t even seen Alexis appear in her room, and she even jumped when he sat down on the bed and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her head. Mumbling a soft “Hey” to him, she barely looked up before going back to the book. Alexis frowned at the lack of acknowledgement and started trailing kisses up her shoulder and neck. “Zoe…” He said, lips still pressed against her skin as he tried to get a reaction out of her. Zoe tilted her neck away from him as she flipped the page, starting to memorize an entirely new spell. Sighing when he kept kissing her skin, Zoe bit her lip and reread the same line a few times before getting frustrated. “Alexis, I need to do this.” She said, glancing sideways at him before her eyes fell back on the page she’d been reading. “Do me instead,” he offered with a smirk, licking a small spot on her neck that elicited a small moan from the witch as she reached one hand down to grasp his leg. “I’m not in the mood. I just need to work on these - we have a Gathering tomorrow morning, I don’t have time.” She explained and read the page in a quiet voice. But Alexis was determined not to walk out of there without at least some satisfactory, even if it was only that he was capable of distracting Zoe from important things because, after all, he was better than some book that his mother probably read at some point because it was so old. He reached forward and plucked the book out of her hands, shutting it and putting it behind his back as he resumed kissing her neck. “Alexis!” She groaned and pulled out of his arms, reaching for the book. “You made me lose my page. Give me the book back,” she said impatiently, giving him a look. He grabbed her wrists and pulled her in for a kiss, which she hastily returned for a second before pulling back and glaring at him as she tried to pull her wrists out of his grasp. “Alexis…” She sighed and shook her head. “I need to read.” Alexis had other ideas, though. Slowly pushing her down on the bed, he held her wrists down and kissed her again. Zoe kissed him back again, hoping that if she gave him a little attention he’d leave her alone again and let her have the book back. 

Of course, things didn't go that way with Alexis. His slow kisses turned more deep and passionate, and his grip on her wrists tightened. Eventually, the thoughts of practicing her spells slowly slipped from her mind, but she couldn't let it go. Reluctantly, she twisted her head to the side and squirmed under the Reaper. "Not right now. I told you, this is important." She sighed and pulled her wrists from his grasp, amazed that she'd been able to. Pushing him gently to the side so she could sit up, she snatched the book back and flipped through the pages to find where she'd left off.

Glaring at her, Alexis pulled the witch into his lap and started running his hands along her arms and legs, pausing on her hips. How could she be ignoring him like this? He was better than studying! Once sitting in his lap, she merely rolled her eyes and continued reading, not bothering to fight with him because it would only take up more time she could be using to read. At seeing her disinterest Alexis let out a frustrated growl, pulling her hair off of her shoulder and biting down gently on her neck, which caused her to let out another small grunt as she pursed her lips. If kisses wouldn't work, he'd have to find something else...

He pulled her hair, not enough to hurt but enough to force her head to tilt back a little bit before his hands started wiggling along her sides. Letting out a small squeal as he tickled her, the book fell from her lap and she squirmed around in his lap, finally catching the Reaper's wrists in her hands. Taking a few breaths, she turned her head to look back at him. "Jesus, you're like a child." She said, shaking her head with a small smile as she set the book out of the way and turned to face him. "I wish I could say no to you," She murmured, pressing her forehead against his. 

"So hang out with me, fuck the books. Wait - fuck me instead," He said with a grin, kissing her cheek as he ran his fingers along her back. Rolling her eyes again, she just shook her head. "You're making it really hard for me to get anything done." She said and laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Since you're being so needy, what do you want to do?"

Shrugging, Alexis pressed his lips to hers again and pulled her closer. "I don't know, but this is a good start." He murmured into the kiss before kissing her harder, causing Zoe to laugh and kiss him back.
