for Aurelia - party

[petridish]

Not dresses like this. I got one in the Ingress once: Shorter, easier to move in, doesn't expose my back this much. Branded with my vocational code and colors, weirdly - like my armor.

[With a glance down to Aurelia's hand at her elbow:] I'm okay, but - don't stop.

[And immediately she winces, because that came out far needier than she would have liked. Way to show weakness.]

[diamondslap]

[she raises an immaculate eyebrow, grinning.]

Don't stop? Oh, goodness.

[she trails her other hand gently up shepard's other arm.]

Now then. I think I can do that.

[petridish]

[She draws in a shaky breath, lowered inhibitions and some instinct she was never told about making her lean in. Tentatively, she slides her hand from Aurelia's waist around to her back, watching her for a reaction.]

[diamondslap]

[aurelia requires DOCKING PERMISSION

anyways she leans in too, smirking. unless shepard nopes out there's totally gonna be a smooch up in here.]

[petridish]

[There is no noping here.

[There is also no reaction, at least to start with, surprise, inexperience, and general distrust momentarily paralyzing her. The surprise fades first. The distrust gets swallowed up by how good this feels.

[She closes her eyes, and kisses her back.]

[diamondslap]

[aurelia smiles into the kiss. mostly because the reaction is endearing and she's imagining shepard looking bewildered with a huge red lipstick smear across her face.

it's enthusiastic, but she's still carefully monitoring shepard's reactions. it would be very unbecoming to kiss a lady who's uncomfortable, after all. she nips shepard's bottom lip very gently then slowly deepens it.]

[petridish]

[The slight uncertainty in her movements is only because she so desperately wants to get this right, but for once in her life, it's for herself, not because surely Shepard knows about and has done this. Soon enough, she's following Aurelia's lead with a hunger she didn't know she had, one hand cradling the side of her jaw to keep her close, keep her here.]

[diamondslap]

[after continuing it for another moment more, she pulls back, grinning.]

Now then, wasn't that exciting?

[petridish]

Yeah.

[It's almost more a breath than a word, as she gazes wide eyed at Aurelia and tries to catch her breath. Unconsciously, she reaches up to touch her mouth, where a hint of warmth (and more than a hint of lipstick) from Aurelia's mouth on hers remains.

[The touch draws her out of her reverie, and she slowly realizes what just happened - how dangerously close she's just been to another person.]

... I should go.

[She remembers to lift her long skirt this time as she backs away and makes her strategic retreat (and absolutely does not run away).

[The next night, she will be braver.]
