@vspra: ❝ they'll listen to your command, ❞ vesper's reminder rumbled in his chest, and he let experienced hands slip over kafka's shoulders as he made to unclasp the harness keeping her coat draped so elegantly over her back. ❝ they just need time to think on it. they'll come to their conclusions soon enough, mm? ❞ slipping the fabric away from her body, vess stepped back to hang it carefully near the door, rubbing the sleeve between thumb and forefinger for but a moment. ❝ let me take your mind off it. ❞
it wasn't long before vesper scooped the hunter up by her hips, wrapping her legs around his waist without a second thought. he didn't carry her far, only to the chaise against the far wall, but the position made it smoother for him to move to his knees, leaving her perched on the edge of the lounge. after leaving a darkening hickey just under her jawline, argyros sat back on his heels and let viridescent eyes scan the shapes and curves of her body. he was hungry for her, he was sure she could tell, but that was not his first priority.
❝ i can't imagine these are the most sensible shoes... ❞ nimble fingers felt along the thigh of her boot, roaming over the leather curiously. ❝ but you wear them like they're nothing. ❞
kissing down the inside of her knee, vess unbuckled, unzipped, and carefully removed each boot, stretching each calf out and setting the shoes aside. he pressed his palm to the ball of her foot, finally shifting up again to drag split tongue over her stockings, up her inner thigh, spreading them further apart despite the fact that she was still almost entirely clothed. both hands found her calves, massaging the muscles there for a few long moments before they crept further up her legs. he sighed against her skin, covered mostly by nylon, but no less kafka by feel, by scent.
❝ how valuable are these stockings? ❞
ㅤㅤㅤ𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐢𝐭 was practically what they were made for - and worst come to worst, she could always make them. yet, their fearless leader had been in a somewhat mercurial mood, leaving kafka less than privy to every aspect of the script as he was wont to do. she blamed it on the occasional failed mission... regardless, it meant extra work for her, extra hours cleaning up messes or expending bullets and despite it all, kafka was just a woman. sometimes she simply wanted to be home by dinner, and not have to wash a blood stain out of her coat the next day. was it too much to ask? for elio, perhaps so. it left the huntress in a somewhat cantankerous mood... though it was hard to tell, for anyone that did not know her inside and out. still, it was why she'd summoned vesper here - a call to her private chambers, as absurdly opulent as they were, because sometimes she didn't want to think too much - or if she did, it was much easier to do so with the feeling of his body against hers.
ㅤㅤㅤ❝ ⸻ i could just force them to listen. i am being benevolent. ❞ silken tones are wrought at the edge with her frustration, but it's hard to focus on her thoughts with the movement of large hands about her body, discarding the velvet of her coat and regarding her flesh as if it wasn't but a simple wrapping for murder and mayhem. she regards him with contact-less eyes, vivid red pupils trained on the handsome being as he scoops her up as easy as breathing, and she falls into his embrace without a second thought. she does not mind the queenly treatment, especially from him, and is even reluctant to remove the wrappings of her svelte legs from about his body... but does so, if only because vesper on his knees is possibly more exquisite than any professional painting.
ㅤㅤㅤa soft, husky breath of pleasure murmurs past her wine-colored lips, and the huntress tilts her head back then, silken tresses fanning lightly over the back of the chaise not unlike spilled liqueur. his fussing - the steady slide of fingertips, it earns him the vaguest of smirks, and perhaps she does not realize it - does not know it - but that is definitely her legs spreading wider the second the he speaks again. call it reflex and anticipation.
ㅤㅤㅤ❝ fashion over comfort, vess. beauty in all things is the most important factor. including my shoes. ❞ and yes there was something satisfying about running someone through with her heel, but she didn't intend to ruin the moment, especially not as boots fell away from dark nylon, and fingertips caressed sore feet and tense calves. she was just a human after all - peak physical condition or not, the relief of pressure felt amazing, and earns the man before her a soft, low groan. arms raise to sprawl across the back of that chaise, her gaze drifting shut momentarily - before pinning the hunter before her once again. she was practically purring, unable to resist the vague quiver of anticipation at her core... but she doesn't touch him, not yet. perhaps later, when he'd unworked the tension from her system like a stuck gear.
ㅤㅤㅤit's the tongue that gets her, the promise of where it could go and what it could do... oh, yes. she is just a woman after all. ❝ a few hundred credits at least. would i wear anything cheap ? ❞ it's supposed to sound nonplused, but it comes out a little breathless, especially as her gaze flashes, pink tongue darting wantonly over petal soft lips. ❝ shred them. ❞
