thedispatch | Forgiven

[ Turning from the stove William watches Grell as she readies the wine. It's the first she's shown him this full garment and he likes what he sees. ]

Honestly, I could say the same of you.

Oh-- [ She pauses to glance over her shoulder at him with a quirk of her brows. ] Please do.

[ Playfully, she waggles her harness-clad ass! ]

[ He approaches, sliding an arm around her waist to forcefully pull him to his chest. ]

You look astoundingly sexy this evening. It will be a shame to take this off of you.

[ His free hand gives her ass a firm squeeze. ]

[ With a gleeful laugh, her arms raise to drape over William's shoulders, resting comfortably against his chest. Her eyes scan the detail of his face with absolute adoration-- and a tinge of lust, of course, tongue hooked over her grinning teeth. ]

Don't you worry, we'll see to it that you've thoroughly savoured its pleasures, and I'm certain you'll be ready to see it done away with by then.

[ There's a hum of thought as his hands explore the intricacies of the harness. ]

It's difficult to believe you once wanted to do away with me.

[ Her gaze flicks back up to his, lips settling into am amused, lopsided smile. ]

Well, to be fair, I'd recently done away with myself. You helped knock things back into perspective, I'd say~

[ A bat of the lashes! ]

And while my judgement is still notoriously dreadful, you are the one thing I've done right.

[ William's hands pause in their exploration, instead moving to settle around her waist. Her words have momentarily set aside his thoughts of having a wonderfully erotic evening. Leaning in, the kiss he gives her is soft and sincere. ]

We should talk more on this. Our pasts, and the like.

[ Grell's smile slacks just so, setting aside her silliness whilst meeting his gaze. Quietly, she hums. ]

Mn... We should.

[ While she has never divulged such information to another being, and couldn't consider herself comfortable talking about it, she knows it's something that she should want to work toward-- being open and comfortable with William about anything, that is. He'd shared a bit about himself, in that regard, besides.

She takes a steeling breath, licking over her lips, after the tender kiss they shared. ]

--But not without wine.

That is given.

[ With a calm breath, he slides his hands slowly up her back, pulling her in for another intimate kiss. ]

Perhaps after we play.

[ This particular kiss feels like something of a reward. He's clearly pleased by her response, and knowing that she's evokes just a reaction from him is certainly just that-- especially when she's so skilled at proving the adverse!

Grell breathes deeply through her nostrils, relishing in the tender touches, and craning into his kiss in full. Once their lips have parted, a chuckle rolls beneath her breath. ]

I think that would work quite nicely.

[ Hearing him call it that has her hands winding into his lapels a bit tighter! And it's an idea that makes sense, knowing they'll feel more vulnerable around one another then. ]

Pour us some wine. I'll see to finishing up the side dishes while the meat cooks.

[ And he allows her to pull away on her own, refraining from shoving her towards the kitchen table to follow his instructions. ]

Mn, perfect♥.

[ She leans in for one last peck before doing just that.

Once the bottle has been uncorked, she croons happily while proceeding to pour their glasses - which William will discover are nearly filled to the brim.

With a playful grin, she leans back against the counter, as she holds out his for him to take. ]

Prepare to be-- mildly impressed.

That doesn't boast well for the product.

[ He gives it a skeptical look, but takes a sip, regardless. There's the slightest raise of his brows and he lightly licks his lips afterwards. ]

It is certainly sweet. You weren't lying about that any.

[ Grell chuckles into her glass whilst taking a healthy sip, herself! Humming, she nods, licking over her lips as her shoulders rise! ]

Not unlike a juice-- only better, obviously!!

[ There's a short nod of agreement before he's taking another larger sip, himself! ]

[ One more, herself, and she's slipping away from the counter. There's a shift of her feet, so that she turns as though on a dance floor, free hand slipping about William's waist so that she might step in close, pressed into his back, and kiss the side of his neck! ]

So, why don't we play a little game of secrets? Tell little facts about ourselves, and if must stop to think on a topic, it must also come with wine~

[ Even if she's behind him, he's still managing to give her a suspicious side-eye. ]

And what are the consequences for refusing to answer?

Oh-- [ A contemplative, and altogether interested hum! ]

Then we owe one sexual favour of the other's choice, mmm?

Very well, then. I suggest you start, I will need a moment to think on a question.

[ Since the wine is now playing a role in their game, he pauses in drinking any more. Instead, it's placed on the counter top, and he turns his attention back to the stove top, stirring some butter into the mashed potatoes. ]

[ Grell looks quite pleased, as she sets her chin on his shoulder. ]

Alright then, we'll start easy... How many times have you been in love?

Romantically? Twice.

[ The answer is immediate, proving there's few relationships in his past. ]

[ That brings a smile to her face, though. Genuinely pleased. Nuzzling into his neck, she hums. ]

I imagine it's safe to assume the other was-- your late wife? [ Though that's slightly difficult to say, she discovers. ]

[ He's honestly surprised there isn't more jealousy to those words. ]

Christine, yes.

[ This is Grell attempting be be mature, but it certainly is bubbling under the surface of her awkwardness. She's mentally reminding herself that she'd been the one to ask, the one to say those words-- ]

Mn... Your turn~! [ She chirps with more forced enthusiasm! Time to move on!! ]

[ Ah, but there she is moving on from the topic so quickly. ]

Same for yourself, then?
