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. ]

Calm yourself, I'm not going to leave. Not without bringing you along.

[ There's a short exhale through his nose, almost as if he laughed at the absurdity of Grell ascending to Heaven. If only the slightest. ]

[untodeath]

[ Grell's lips pucker into a pout somewhat, but after glancing at William, the corner of her lips pluck into a smile once more. ]

That was almost sweet.

[death_glare]

It's simply the truth.

[ There's a short shove with his elbow. ]

Where is this shop, anyway?

[untodeath]

[ There it is-- her heart is fluttering again! At least the jab - and the yelp that ensues from it - is enough to insert some 'normalcy' into the situation and keep her on track. ]

We're here, silly. [ Rounding the corner to the next street, she gestures to the open market-- although the vendors are much more sparse this late in the evening. Looping an arm into his elbow, she seems more excited, now that their grocery trip has begun, and thus, is nearer to ending.

Once their bag has been filled and list depleted, they teleport back home. Grell stands on toe to reach into the bag and grab what she can, to start putting away the perishables. ]

So, what shall we make tonight~?

[death_glare]

Beef Wellington.

[ As he states it, his hand rests atop hers, stopping her from moving the steak to the ice box. ]

It will take a bit of time but it should be quite good once finished.

[untodeath]

[ With a purring hum, she pauses indeed, instead leaning in close. ]

Mn, fancy~♥

[ And she briefly kisses him, lingering for just a moment longer. ]

We've got a few things to satiate our appetites, in the meanwhile...

[death_glare]

Go unpack our other purchases. I will get this in the oven. Then we will have a bit of time to relax.

[ There's quite a bit of prep work to do. And William is left searching the kitchen for various tools. But eventually he's at the point of sliding the pastry wrapped steaks in the oven. ]

[untodeath]

Yes, darliiing~♥

[ With a fleeting nuzzle, she slips away to do just that, placing the plethora of goodies they acquired at the toy store. When she returns, she's removed her coat, leaving only the racy little number she's been hiding beneath it - and has definitely touched up on her makeup and perfume. ]

My word, that looks divine.

[ And she's holding the bottles of alcohol, placing them upon the counter as she goes about getting them some wine glasses and locating the cork screw. ]

[death_glare]

[ 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.

[untodeath]

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! ]

[death_glare]

[ 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. ]

[untodeath]

[ 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.

[death_glare]

[ 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.

[untodeath]

[ 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.

[death_glare]

[ 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.

[untodeath]

[ 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.

[death_glare]

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.

[untodeath]

[ 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. ]

[death_glare]

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. ]

[untodeath]

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.

[death_glare]

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.

[untodeath]

[ 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!!

[death_glare]

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

[untodeath]

[ 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~

[death_glare]

[ 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?
