Forgiven

[death_glare]

[ No one questioned anything when William suddenly left his office that morning. "I've been called to a meeting" was all the information he gave the rest of Dispatch. To them, it wasn't surprising, seeing as he was the head of the department. For William, however, the summoning came with zero notice. As he made his way to the upper managements' offices, all he could wonder was what issue his subordinates caused that he'd have to clean up after, this time.

It wasn't until lunch break that William returned to Dispatch. The others expected they'd get reprimanded for something, but William remained quiet, his face expressionless as he closed the door to his office. ]

[ Grell's hands still so that she may give him a look with a pointedly quilted brow! ]

What's that supposed to mean? That you'll keep running, despite the conversation we just shared? Or do you plan on going somewhere?

[death_glare]

[ a loud huff and he gives her a good punch to the top of her head. A risky thing to do when she's holding onto his dick. ]

No you imbecile. I was referring to you touching me in that area.

[untodeath]

[ Thankfully for him, Grell just flinches back, hands hovering over her head-- because she can't very well hold it, that would get soap in her hair!! ]

That's what I mean, Will! [ Her quip takes up a pouty tone. ] You'll consider pushing me away again, right?!

[death_glare]

Having minimal sexual interest in having my asshole played with does not mean I'm pushing you away.

[ Well there's a sentence he never envisioned himself saying. ]

Besides, I said maybe.

[untodeath]

[ Grell eases with a blink. ]

Oh.

[ Her cheeks tint. ]

I thought you meant... you know. In general.

[death_glare]

I'm standing naked in your bathtub letting you wash my cock. If I were leaving I'd be out the door by now.

[ Shaking his head at how dramatic she is, he squats down to rinse himself off. ]

[untodeath]

[ Puffing her cheeks slightly, she leans in to rinse off her hands, as well. ]

Yes, well, we've already established that I'm a fool. [ Sigh! ] And I've completely ruined the mood.

[death_glare]

[ Rising, he steps out of the tub, reaching for a towel to dry himself. ]

Go put something cute on. I'll be out in a moment.

[ Apparently he doesn't think the mood is ruined. Just briefly delayed. ]

[untodeath]

[ That's probably the opposite of what she expected to hear, leaving her staring after him with parted lips, while idly wiping her hands on the towel that encircles her waist. ]

Ah-- [ Shaking her head to snap herself out of it, she shifts to her feet, standing up straight to regain her confidence!! ] I suppose I might be able to find something...

[ On her way out, the redhead loosens her towel to fall to her feet, leaving it at the door. He won't be able to see her biting at her lip, all flustered-like!

She can't imagine why he'd like to have fun NOW, after complaining how tired he was, and the embarrassing blunder she'd made... but it isn't as though she'd deny him, either way.

When he returns, he'll find her draped across the bed and playing with her hair, while waiting. She's found herself a sheer robe to wear, cinched at the waist with a thin tie. A lacy garter belt is visible beneath, hooked to thigh-high stockings, and topped off with simple but effectively adorable kitten heels. ]

[death_glare]

[ Since he doesn't have any of his clothes in the bathroom, he exits still fully nude, but dry! There's a brief glance at her as he passes the bed and if she's watching well enough, she'll see him give an approving nod to himself.

Exiting to the living room to grab a new pair of underwear and nothing else, he returns with them on and makes no hesitation on climbing into her bed. ]

Are you honestly planning on wearing shoes to bed?

[untodeath]

[ Of course Grell is watching; she couldn't possibly pass up the chance to look at William in full glory, not ever! The subtle approval comes as yet another surprise, but she's quite proud of herself for it! So much so, that he'll find her posed much more cutely when he returns, arched on her back, with an arm draped over her head!

She rolls onto her stomach to greet him, once he crawls into bed, crawling over so sit beside him, draping her elongated legs over his lap. ]

Well, they're not meant to stay on. [ She states, as though it's the most obvious thing in the world! She lifts one leg to extend, showing them off! ] I wasn't sure what you intentions were, so I gave you the full set.

[death_glare]

[ There's even more approval of her chosen attire when those stocking clad legs are in his lap. He rests a hand atop one of them, running it up to where the clasps of the belt hug the fabric. ]

I was curious what lingerie you owned. [ Apparently he enjoys such things. ] Though, I would still prefer to sleep now, it will be enjoyable to wake up to.

[ With that, his hand slides back down far enough to push her shoes off to the floor. ]

[untodeath]

[ The reaper hums with intrigue, at learning this about him. Perhaps she had a notion before, but it seems far more obvious, now! She could possibly be disappointed that he wishes to call it for the night, after leaving her so curious... but, somehow, she's still smiling as he knocks the shoes off her feet. ]

It seems that I'll need to broaden my selection.

[death_glare]

Thankfully, I got them to change their minds on your pay cut.

[ He shifts her legs off him and pulls the covers up over them both. Flipping to his side, he takes up the position they were in before he'd leaned in and kissed her earlier. ]

[untodeath]

[ Settling down beside him, she's sighing contently as she presses herself close, one hand tucked beneath her cheek, and the other slung over William's waist. ]

Mn, as thanks, I'll be certain to dedicate a portion of my next paycheck to just that~

[death_glare]

Perhaps we can go shopping for it together.

[ His own hand settles on her hip, purposefully avoiding where her wound is. ]

[untodeath]

[ With a gasp, Grell looks up to him, eyes widened with excitement! ]

Really, Will? I'd love that!

[death_glare]

Though, a surprise may be nice, as well.

[ He nods at her question, though, interested in both. ]

[untodeath]

[ A brow raises thoughtfully as she hums. ]

Well, you'll just have to show me the sort of things you like, and I can take it from there♥.

[death_glare]

Very well, then.

[ His hand slides down to rest at her upper thigh, content to have it sit there while they sleep. ]

This escalated far quicker than I'd planned. Though, I suppose once I kissed you, that was inevitable.

[untodeath]

[ Grell hums happily while he touches her in such a way - intimate, but perhaps loving, instead of lust-driven. She shifts to remove her glasses, reaching over to place them on a pillow at the far side of the bed. ]

We've had much lost time to make up for. [ She says fondly, laying her hand on his cheek as she settles once more. ] Shouldn't be entirely surprising, I suppose... but it still very much is.

[death_glare]

Certainly a new experience.

[ Considering how different Grell is from anyone he's ever been with.

No longer needing glasses, he's able to watch Grell with no issue as she settles in. ]

[untodeath]

[ She idly draws her fingertips along the contour of his jaw, and under the definition of his lower lip. ]

Is that a good thing?

[death_glare]

I don't have any complaints, as of yet.

[ He allows her to caress his face, expression calm and content. ]

[untodeath]

[ With a chuckle, she leans in to place a soft kiss upon those lips. ]

Well, thank goodness for that.
