the budding romance prompts (multiple) / @foundationsbuilt!
there was something different about tonight. there was a certain degree of desperation in the way finnick kissed her. annie was both surprised and curious by this change in him. her instincts told her to kiss him back with just as much fervor. though, she was a bit apprehensive. she was still so new to all of this. she'd hadn’t kissed a single person before meeting finnick nor did she think she ever even liked another person before for him. and the last thing she wanted was to get too lost in the moment and cross a boundary.
before she could even react, his tongue was seeking hers; eliciting a soft moan from the young woman’s lips that surprised even herself. her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she pulled back slightly, her forehead resting against his as she attempted to utter an apology. but he interrupted her, his words reassuring and sweet. that was honestly all she needed to hear before her lips found his again. her hands taking hold of his and then gently placing them against her chest.
everything after that felt like a blur. she was in a euphoric cloud, clumsily falling back on the bed as she pulled him back with her. in the midst, they must have both lost their shirts. she liked feeling his hands on her body. the sensation of his bare skin pressed against hers. the way he caressed her so delicately. her lips never left his until he suddenly pulled away. a small pout formed on swollen lips as she watched him press hot kisses against the exposed skin of her neck down to her stomach.
she could feel the butterflies pooling in her stomach; tickling her with their gossamer wings. a tiny voice in the back of her head called to her, suddenly questioning if this was alright. breathlessly, the brunette propped herself up on her elbows, looking down at him. ❝ you don’t have to do that. ❞ she paused, ❝ i mean i like what you’re doing—but if you want to stop... ❞ i wanna do this. for you. making you feel good will make me happy. her cheeks burned furiously as her eyes met his. ❝ are you sure? ❞
