[ Annie has never held issue with telling Mitchell exactly what she thinks, how she thinks it, or when. And yes, it holds true here, even in this intimate moment. She doesn't stop him because she doesn't want him to. When he stops himself, just short of really touching her, she actually feels a little frustration and impatience, radiating enough of it, that he just might feel it too.]
Yes, [ she murmurs against his temple as his face presses against her shoulder. She lets her fingers curl a bit more in his hair, her voice soft, asking how he feels even if she can easily find the answer herself. She wants to hear him say it.] And you?
[He grins, huffing out a little breath, and nods against her shoulder.] Yeah. [Yeah, Mitchell is great, thanks, he feels absolutely amazing right now. He's forgotten how strange it is for her to be so cold against him, almost like he's never known any different, and the itch to touch her is overwhelming. Luckily, she doesn't make him wait any longer, and so he allows those questing fingers to slide forward until he finds her slit, her skin cold and slick to the touch.
It makes him laugh quietly, incredulous, and he presses another kiss to her shoulder as he strokes her carefully, feeling like he's dipped his fingers in a spring or something pure and cool, far from unpleasant but definitely not what he expected.] Still okay?
[Her hips quirk instinctively when he finally touches her, fingers sliding between her quivering thighs, her eyes falling shut with a soft, little moan. His touch is careful, slow and deliberate, and just as she's starting to fall into it, he asks after her.] Mitchell--[ she gasps softly against his hair, her eyes fluttering open for a moment as she tries not to sound annoyed, her voice somehow both firm and gentle at the same time. ] You needn't ask me all the time. [ Even if she loves him for it, adores the way he cares to ask. Owen never asked after how she was feeling. Unfortunately it was mostly a bunch of pumping then he was snoring or slinking out of the house.] I trust you.
I just want to make sure you're okay. [He can't help himself; he's not as different from Owen as she might like to make him be, as much as it pains him to admit it. For most of his life, Mitchell would find a girl (or two) to take home, give her a little kiss, maybe fuck her before biting her, drink her dry as she cried and pushed ineffectually at him, then left her on the floor like a discarded chocolate bar wrapper. He's trying to make up for all his past sins with Annie, trying to take his time and treat her like she's precious.
Because she is. She's precious to him.
But still, now that she's told him to get on with it, he does set to it without any more interruptions, stroking her a few more times before he shifts his hand to slide a finger into her, muffling a quiet groan against her shoulder at the feel of her slick, cold skin. He licks at her neck, mouthing her skin, sucking what would be a hickey on anyone else as he fingers her slowly, twisting his wrist so he can brush his thumb over her clit, ignoring the twinge in his wrist for the way it makes her clamp around him.
And for all that he agreed he'd stop asking, he pulls away enough to murmur anyway,] I'll give you two now, 'kay? [And does just that, pulling his hand free before sliding two fingers in where there had only been one, pressing them as deep into her as he can and sighing into the crook of her neck.]
[ She never dreamed that this was even possible. She honestly had resigned herself to a sexless relationship with Mitchell, that perhaps she'd find a way to get him off but that she wouldn't experience any sort of physical pleasure herself. And yet, here she is, in his lap with his fingers inside of her, coaxing heat through her chilled body in a way she hasn't felt in ages.
It's like basking in the sun, the way it warms her, although this warms her from the inside out, not that Mitchell can feel any of that, despite the groan that spills out against her skin.
He takes pleasure in touching her, she can feel that much, pressed against him, at the way he so eagerly moves his mouth over her skin. Her eyes fall shut with a soft moan, just against his ear when his thumb finds that bundle of nerves, so rarely touched.
She can't help the shift of her hips, the way she rocks into his hand and when he offers her another finger, she nods, eagerly, distractedly.] Yes, [ she hums against his ear, moaning again when he slides them inside of her, make her squirm against her.] God, yeah, Mitchell...
[It does please him to touch her, to feel her shift and moan against him, to know that he's the reason her hips are rocking like that against him, that it's his touch that's brought that breathlessness to her.
He curls his fingers inside her, stroking her soft flesh, and lifts his chin, seeking for a kiss, needing something but not quite knowing what it is he needs from her. His eyes have gone black now, properly black, but he doesn't seem to notice, and as of yet his teeth haven't started to sharpen. Hopefully he'll be able to keep it together for a little while longer.]
[ She can't see his eyes with her own being closed, although they do flutter open for a second when she feels his lips seeking hers out. It's a flash of black that she sees but she's distracted enough not to think too much of it, yet.
Her mouth yields to his for a moment before she kisses him a bit harder, her arm wrapping around his neck, urging him closer, rocking her hips into his fingers instinctively, greedily. Now that she can feel it, now that she knows she can.
She whispers his name against his lips, her own curving a bit into a smile.]
[God, hearing her breathe his name against his lips sends a fire roaring through him, need singing through his veins and pricking at his gums in a way he can't ignore, not with the way she wraps herself around him and pulls herself closer.
He wraps his free arm tightly around her waist in return, holding her close as he rocks his hand between her legs, curling and stroking his fingers the way he knows is virtually guaranteed to work, pressing his tongue to his teeth to keep himself from leaning in and biting down on soft, tempting flesh.
He knows Annie's dead. There's no blood coursing through her veins. And yet...
And yet there's something inside him that whispers that all he needs to get that sweet, hot blood is to lean forward and bite down, that the only thing between him and the sweet release of the gnawing pain he manages every day is the thin skin of her pretty little neck. That if he just gives in, just this once, he'll feel so much better. That the clawing need that eats away at his nerves every minute of every day will finally be sated and he'll be able to relax, content and full.
The heavy sweetness of his own blood is cloying as it slides down his throat, too thick and too dark. Not what he wants. Not what he needs. Trembling, he bites down harder on his tongue, forcing himself to turn his head away from her, to tuck it against her shoulder so she can't see his face and the war he's fighting within himself.
[ Annie is lost enough, for a moment, that she doesn't notice his struggle. She feels the tension in his body but she selfishly chalks it up to the strain of pleasuring her, or maybe the need for more. She wants more too, if it's even possible. Given what they're doing now, she thinks it might be. And it excites her, it builds on the heat the grows within her, now at a rapid pace.
Panting softly against his ear as he turns his head away from her lips, she has a fleeting, worried thought that he's turned his head away for the wrong reasons, for something bad. But she's too consumed, suddenly, by her impending release that she doesn't dwell on the thought. Instead, she gasps his name again before she comes undone, her whole body going tense, tightening around his, a soft sound escaping her lips as she buries her face against his shoulder as heat and pleasure overtakes her for the first time in what might be years.]
[He can feel her tensing, knows she's close, and sure enough, it's only a few rocks of her hips later that she's stilling in his arms, clutching him to her before she trembles and lets out that wondering little moan.
Feeling her body flutter around his fingers, the strength in her arms as she clutches at him, the exhalation of air that washes over his shoulder when she tucks her face in against him, it's all too much. He grits his teeth, practically biting his tongue in half, it feels like, and fights down a whimper as he swallows all the blood that's pooled in his mouth, tries to get rid of the evidence before she recovers enough to see what he looks like.
In order to give himself a little more time, he keeps rocking his fingers in and out of her, coaxing her orgasm to last as long as he can so that by the time her eyes clear his tongue will have healed from the way he's shredded it and the only hint at his internal struggle will be the tightness around his eyes.
[ It's a dirty trick, one she'd likely be pretty cross to know about later on. It works, for a time, the way he coaxes on her pleasure, draws it out, keeping her body trembling around his a few more seconds than it normally would. Gasping softly, her eyes flutter some as she presses her lips to his skin, pressing grateful kisses to his shoulder, humming with contentment, completely unaware of what storm brews within him.
At least for a moment, until her senses start to come back to her, she feels the continued tension of his body, although she might be able to tie that to arousal, considering what she feels of his cock, pressing against her thigh. Pressing a few more kisses to his shoulder and neck, she tries to find her way towards his mouth for a kiss.] Mitchell, that was... [ She lets out a laugh, her eyes moving towards his face--] Brilliant. [ Her smile falters just a little as she looks at him, the contentment she feels fading when she senses something's wrong.] Are you alright? [ Now's the time to lie, Mitchell.]
[Luckily for them both — or perhaps not, as the case may be — Mitchell is a consummate liar. It only takes him another swallow and a lick across his teeth before he's able to grin at her, pushing away all the warring he's done, all the pain he's suffered through, everything, so that he can focus on the pride of being able to make her tremble like that in his arms.]
Of course I am. [He leans in and presses a little kiss to the tender underside of her jaw, both to prove to himself that he can without wanting to bite her, and also to prevent her from potentially tasting blood on his lips.
He rocks his hands idly, as smug as can be, the very picture of a bloke about to get lucky and so very pleased with himself because of it.] See, I told you it'd work. [Whether he did or not is irrelevant.]
[ She believes his lie, she foolishly believes his lie, as she has in the past, and would in the future, until her trust was truly broken. As it is, his smile charms her into believing him, her own smile is one of relief then bliss, joy, contentment. Her eyes meet with his after he presses a few kisses to the underside of her jaw, her hands lifting to tilt his face towards hers, pressing her forehead to his for a moment.] I should have never doubted, [ she murmurs the words just barely before her breath hitches at the way his fingers continue to rock within her.
She reaches between them to pull his hand away, arching her body forward into his, inviting him to take what he wants now. Suddenly, the awkward seductress who is utter rubbish at dirty talk, means to seduce the hell out of him and successfully so.] I reckon we ought to see what else works...
[For a moment, a foolish moment, Mitchell allows himself to think that this will be it. They'll curl up together and snuggle for a little while, and Annie will do that dozing-thing she does instead of proper sleep, and he'll be able to walk away from this moment without hurting her.
But then she continues, and his heart sinks. For a moment, he thinks about telling her no, telling her he's not in the mood, or he just flat doesn't like fucking, but that would be a lie on both counts, and it's so important to her that their relationship be just as normal as any other one... He's gathered that sex was an important part of her and Owen, in that Owen insisted on it, and Annie felt that she was letting him down if she didn't live up to whatever nymphette role she was supposed to fulfill.
He hasn't the heart to hurt her by turning her away.
So instead he grinds down the small part of himself that's crying out for him to put a stop to this, slams a lid on it and locks the door, turning a wicked smirk to her as she reaches between them and murmurs so seductively to him.] I can think of something else we could try...
[ When this so thoroughly falls apart, Annie will hate herself for forcing this upon him, for making him think that their relationship has to be normal when it really can't ever be, not ever. It is important to her, yes, to do things that other couples can do because she wants that with Mitchell, she wants to do things she missed out on, she wants him to have those things too, those normal things. Soon enough, she'll be able to accept that things can't be normal, but for now, she holds out a fool's hope.
Annie Sawyer is a fool, after all.
If he turned her away now, it would hurt a lot less than what's about to come, not that she's aware of the cliff's edge she stands upon. She sees his wicked grin and returns it with a confident one of her own, feeling another thrill race up her spine. As one hand guides his hand to her side, the other moves between them to touch him, to touch the cock she couldn't get hard for the life of her before.
She wonders if it will be the same now, if he'll even feel anything or if it will be uncomfortable to be inside of her. Her eyes drop for a moment as she tries to shake her worries, trying to remain optimistic that this will work as well as their previous experiment will.
So with another smirk, she presses a soft kiss to his lips before she shifts above him, aligning their bodies just so before she slowly tries to sink down upon him.]
[He grips her hip with sticky fingers, dread and anticipation both churning in his gut, and it's harder and harder to cling to that little sane voice in his head that's telling him he should put a stop to this.
She so clearly wants him. She wants him. She knows what he is and she still wants him, why shouldn't he indulge?
He'd be lying if he said he'd never thought about her slender body before, if he hadn't guiltily jerked off in the shower with her name on his lips and the image of her hands around his cock. Just because her hands are ice-cold doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy the touch of them, now that he's felt it, even if he does yelp a little and laugh afterwards, shivering a little.] Cold, [is his only explanation, though he doesn't seem deterred in the slightest, if the way he grips her hips and lets her settle herself above him is any indication.
Her body is just as cold as her hand, but somehow it's not off-putting at all; she's just as soft and wet as she was on his fingers, and when she's pressed this close, he can smell the faint vanilla-earl-grey smell of her so much stronger. He breathes out her name, his fingers digging into her hips, and once again fights against the prickling in his gums.]
[ She wants him, she wants him even more than ever, her body still buzzing with pleasure, heat still warming her from the inside out. However, it seems that she's the only one to feel that heat, given his sudden start and the sound he makes when she arches over him. Her hips stop immediately, her eyes opening quickly to see what's wrong.
He is quick to explain and she is quick to feel guilty, to stop her downward movement, despite his grip on her hips. Her hands move to his face.] I can stop. [ Cold isn't exactly the best reaction to hear, even if she knows it must be true, even if he'd laughed after he shivered.] Should I stop? [ Oh, she doesn't want to, it feels so good, to have him inside of her, like this. It's overwhelming, it make makes her shiver, it makes her quake around him. But if it doesn't feel good to him, she would stop. She really would.]
[Yes. He should tell her to stop and pepper her face with apologetic kisses and tell her he'll finger her whenever she likes but it's just too cold for him to keep an erection.]
Don't be stupid. [Obviously, he does the opposite. He tilts his head for a kiss, making it sweet and soft despite the hunger clawing at his spine.] We're only just started.
[The hands he has on her hips coax her down a little more, rocking her hips gently against his, pulling her down onto his cock properly but not wanting to yank in case she wasn't ready yet. He can do this. He wants to do this. It's not just Annie he's trying to please with this endeavor. He wants her. He wants to push her down onto his — their — bed and make her scream his name, he wants to leave bright red hickeys on her skin, he wants to look at her and have her flush all the way down her chest just from the memory of what they've done together. He aches for her, can feel it in his nailbeds, in the space between each inhale and exhale. There is nothing he wants more than to consume her and be consumed in turn and—
He can't. She's dead. He can't even drink from her and then turn her so she'll feel the same insatiable hunger he does. All he can do is press his tongue to his gums and cling to his self control by his fingernails and pray it's going to be enough.]
[ Again, she is flooded with a selfish relief when he insists they go on, when he seems as eager as she is, when he kisses her so sweetly, so reassuringly. Her hands smooth over his cheeks before combing through his hair, letting him pull her down upon him a bit more, the cold of her body clearly not affecting his ability to stay hard.
God, he's inside of her. They are properly shagging. They are doing something she never fathomed doing again with anyone, let alone being able to do this with him. She wants the same as him, although her fantasy is less than his, she wants to feel the rush of him getting lost inside of her, of his lips pressing restlessly to her face, to watch him consumed by the same pleasure she'd only just been consumed with. She wanted to be the one to give it to him. And yes, she'd probably be pretty content with him pushing her down onto the mattress, making her call out his name, and come so hard that she wouldn't be able to walk (or rent-a-ghost) straight for a while.
She aches for him too, just differently, in her heart, with her body. Her lips press to his again as she sinks down upon him completely, only pausing the length of a kiss to enjoy the feeling of him filling her before she starts rocking above him. Her fingers comb restlessly through his hair, her eyes meeting with as she rolls her hips slowly above his, breathless again.] What position do you prefer?
[Of course this isn't just physical with her. He wouldn't have such a hard time telling her no, if this was just physical attraction. He wouldn't try so hard to make her happy if he just wanted a quick shag and that was the end of it.
He loves Annie. He'd do anything to make her happy. And listening to the noises she makes when she rocks down onto his cock makes it pretty damn obvious this is something that makes her happy.
He bites at his lip, struggling for a moment to make words a thing he can deal with before he manages to choke out an increduloug,] Position? [like it's an incredibly stupid thing to ask. To be honest, it kind of is.
Any position where he's inside her is a good position, in his opinion.
His control, tenuous as it is, frays a little bit more, and he finds himself reaching his arm about her waist, grabbing hold of her so he can twist them both, depositing her down on the bed and letting her bounce a little as he crawls between her legs, stealing a hungry, hard kiss as he reaches down and guides his cock back into her.] This one's good.
[ Again, Annie is eager to please. It's not that she doesn't believe he's enjoying himself but she senses something is a little off, despite his incredible attempts to hide it from her. She's just completely off the mark as to what it might be, thinking that maybe it would feel better for him in a different position, that perhaps he would like it better some other way.
And it seems that despite the way he looks at her like she's utterly mad for asking, he does prefer it a different way. He flips them so that she's on her back beneath him, giving her another thrill as he does so, using strength that surprises her. His kiss is as hungry as any he's ever given her, igniting something inside of her that has her moaning into his mouth. Although, that might be the way he finds his way back inside of her, the way he takes control.
He's not Owen in the way he does either. Even as he flips her onto her back, it feels like she has a choice, like this is both of their ideas because it is. He loves her, he would never hurt her, and he wants her to feel good. She trusts in that, trusts in him completely.
Grinning against his lips, her arms move to lazily wrap around his neck, one leg moving to do the same around his waist, drawing him in deeper, hoping it feels good, the tight clutch of her body.]
[She has to know he'd stop if she asked him to. Mitchell is obviously not adverse to getting a little rough in the bedroom, but there's a difference between hurting her and hurting her. Not to mention he'd want to sit down and talk through any and all hurting that might potentially occur if that was an avenue she wanted to go down.
The last thing he wants is to hurt her. She's been hurt enough and he loves her.
For a while, he fools himself into thinking he can do this. This, with her legs lifting to wrap around his hips, her ankles crossing and her calves pressing against his arse, her arms twined around his neck, her mouth open and lax beneath his, this all seems doable. His teeth ache with the need to bite down, but he's keeping it in check for now, he's managing not to lose his rhythm, and the way she clutches at him makes him think he's doing a pretty good job.
He even manages to keep it together for a solid few minutes of this, of rocking against her and drinking sweet kisses from her lips, but then he makes the mistake of pressing his face to her neck, and while the rational part of him know there's no blood beneath her skin, his vampire hindbrain knows there's a sweet artery pulsing just beneath that cold, soft flesh, and before he knows what he's doing, his teeth are out and he's burying them in her neck in one swift bite.]
[ She loves him, it overwhelms her, seizes her heart completely, makes her flush beneath him, makes her want to cry and laugh at the same time. She clings to him as their bodies slide together in the most glorious sort of congress, the kind of thing she used to read about in those trashy novels she'd pick up at the shop. She wouldn't need those now, not now that she had her own tall, dark, and handsome man to please her, to love her, for her to love and dote on.
It all feels so good, the rhythm of their bodies, the friction that makes the lights flicker a little from time to time. It's delicious, utterly, until it isn't. He buries his face against her neck and her hand lifts to curl against his scalp, her breath coming out in pants against his ear, feeling the same of his against her skin. It's perfect, it's utterly perfect until she feels him tense above her and then...
Crying out, she doesn't actually feel that much pain as his fangs sink into her neck, viciously. It's more the surprise of the bite into her that shocks her back into reality, that has her using what supernatural strength she has to push him up and off of her before she rent-a-ghosts away from him. She doesn't make it far, she simply zips herself off the bed, falling with a large thump to the floor, one of the least graceful efforts she's ever put forth.
The moment her body makes contact with the floor, she's fully clothed, not even in the outfit she'd been wearing before they started this, no, she's right back to what she'd been wearing the day she died.]
[He knows, even as his teeth pierce her skin, that this isn't what he needs. He can feel the lack of blood blooming under his lips, can feel the lack of heat, the lack of life, and the vampire in him cries out, anguished, cheated.
The man cries out for another reason.
Annie disappears from his arms, popping straight off the bed, and Mitchell flings himself away as well, landing on the opposite side from where Annie winds up, although he's still tangled in the bedsheets and completely naked while she's fully-dressed again.]
Annie!— [He doesn't know what to say. He can still feel his fangs out, the ache in them, the frustrated need that he hasn't been able to sate.] I—
Oh god, Annie, I'm sorry. [He flails a little, but doesn't try to get up from the floor, afraid if he tried to stand she'd run away from him and that, that would be something he couldn't bear.] I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to... Annie.
[ The moment she collides with the floor, pleasure fades away, giving way to shock and hurt. Anxious, she feels the urge to flee, to zip right out of the room to her own, to get away from him. She goes through a flurry of emotions, shock, panic, fear, outrage then disgust, a disgust that twists her stomach. She is disgusted with him, disgusted with herself even more. Then it's anguish as she backs herself against the wall, away from him, away from what they've done, not noticing that nothing beneath her moves with her, that she simply passes through it, her own figure faded like it used to be.
Tears are already slipping down her cheeks, she cannot stop them, nor herself as she tries to swallow the lump that's suddenly formed in her throat. She holds her hand up] Just... Just stay there. [ She needs a moment to process, a moment to gather the strength to forgive, something she is infinitely good at, except in this moment, she is too shocked to do anything but take in panicked breaths.
What just happened? Had he really bitten her? Did he think... How could he think that she'd want that? Or had she pushed him into losing control? She can't stop the words that tumble from her lips--] Why? [ She'd missed his apologizes in her shock, missed the part when he said that he didn't mean to.] Why did you...

For a moment, he thinks about telling her no, telling her he's not in the mood, or he just flat doesn't like fucking, but that would be a lie on both counts, and it's so important to her that their relationship be just as normal as any other one... He's gathered that sex was an important part of her and Owen, in that Owen insisted on it, and Annie felt that she was letting him down if she didn't live up to whatever nymphette role she was supposed to fulfill.
He hasn't the heart to hurt her by turning her away.
So instead he grinds down the small part of himself that's crying out for him to put a stop to this, slams a lid on it and locks the door, turning a wicked smirk to her as she reaches between them and murmurs so seductively to him.] I can think of something else we could try...

Annie Sawyer is a fool, after all.
If he turned her away now, it would hurt a lot less than what's about to come, not that she's aware of the cliff's edge she stands upon. She sees his wicked grin and returns it with a confident one of her own, feeling another thrill race up her spine. As one hand guides his hand to her side, the other moves between them to touch him, to touch the cock she couldn't get hard for the life of her before.
She wonders if it will be the same now, if he'll even feel anything or if it will be uncomfortable to be inside of her. Her eyes drop for a moment as she tries to shake her worries, trying to remain optimistic that this will work as well as their previous experiment will.
So with another smirk, she presses a soft kiss to his lips before she shifts above him, aligning their bodies just so before she slowly tries to sink down upon him.]

She so clearly wants him. She wants him. She knows what he is and she still wants him, why shouldn't he indulge?
He'd be lying if he said he'd never thought about her slender body before, if he hadn't guiltily jerked off in the shower with her name on his lips and the image of her hands around his cock. Just because her hands are ice-cold doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy the touch of them, now that he's felt it, even if he does yelp a little and laugh afterwards, shivering a little.] Cold, [is his only explanation, though he doesn't seem deterred in the slightest, if the way he grips her hips and lets her settle herself above him is any indication.
Her body is just as cold as her hand, but somehow it's not off-putting at all; she's just as soft and wet as she was on his fingers, and when she's pressed this close, he can smell the faint vanilla-earl-grey smell of her so much stronger. He breathes out her name, his fingers digging into her hips, and once again fights against the prickling in his gums.]

He is quick to explain and she is quick to feel guilty, to stop her downward movement, despite his grip on her hips. Her hands move to his face.] I can stop. [ Cold isn't exactly the best reaction to hear, even if she knows it must be true, even if he'd laughed after he shivered.] Should I stop? [ Oh, she doesn't want to, it feels so good, to have him inside of her, like this. It's overwhelming, it make makes her shiver, it makes her quake around him. But if it doesn't feel good to him, she would stop. She really would.]
no subject
Don't be stupid. [Obviously, he does the opposite. He tilts his head for a kiss, making it sweet and soft despite the hunger clawing at his spine.] We're only just started.
[The hands he has on her hips coax her down a little more, rocking her hips gently against his, pulling her down onto his cock properly but not wanting to yank in case she wasn't ready yet. He can do this. He wants to do this. It's not just Annie he's trying to please with this endeavor. He wants her. He wants to push her down onto his — their — bed and make her scream his name, he wants to leave bright red hickeys on her skin, he wants to look at her and have her flush all the way down her chest just from the memory of what they've done together. He aches for her, can feel it in his nailbeds, in the space between each inhale and exhale. There is nothing he wants more than to consume her and be consumed in turn and—
He can't. She's dead. He can't even drink from her and then turn her so she'll feel the same insatiable hunger he does. All he can do is press his tongue to his gums and cling to his self control by his fingernails and pray it's going to be enough.]
no subject
God, he's inside of her. They are properly shagging. They are doing something she never fathomed doing again with anyone, let alone being able to do this with him. She wants the same as him, although her fantasy is less than his, she wants to feel the rush of him getting lost inside of her, of his lips pressing restlessly to her face, to watch him consumed by the same pleasure she'd only just been consumed with. She wanted to be the one to give it to him. And yes, she'd probably be pretty content with him pushing her down onto the mattress, making her call out his name, and come so hard that she wouldn't be able to walk (or rent-a-ghost) straight for a while.
She aches for him too, just differently, in her heart, with her body. Her lips press to his again as she sinks down upon him completely, only pausing the length of a kiss to enjoy the feeling of him filling her before she starts rocking above him. Her fingers comb restlessly through his hair, her eyes meeting with as she rolls her hips slowly above his, breathless again.] What position do you prefer?
no subject
He loves Annie. He'd do anything to make her happy. And listening to the noises she makes when she rocks down onto his cock makes it pretty damn obvious this is something that makes her happy.
He bites at his lip, struggling for a moment to make words a thing he can deal with before he manages to choke out an increduloug,] Position? [like it's an incredibly stupid thing to ask. To be honest, it kind of is.
Any position where he's inside her is a good position, in his opinion.
His control, tenuous as it is, frays a little bit more, and he finds himself reaching his arm about her waist, grabbing hold of her so he can twist them both, depositing her down on the bed and letting her bounce a little as he crawls between her legs, stealing a hungry, hard kiss as he reaches down and guides his cock back into her.] This one's good.
no subject
And it seems that despite the way he looks at her like she's utterly mad for asking, he does prefer it a different way. He flips them so that she's on her back beneath him, giving her another thrill as he does so, using strength that surprises her. His kiss is as hungry as any he's ever given her, igniting something inside of her that has her moaning into his mouth. Although, that might be the way he finds his way back inside of her, the way he takes control.
He's not Owen in the way he does either. Even as he flips her onto her back, it feels like she has a choice, like this is both of their ideas because it is. He loves her, he would never hurt her, and he wants her to feel good. She trusts in that, trusts in him completely.
Grinning against his lips, her arms move to lazily wrap around his neck, one leg moving to do the same around his waist, drawing him in deeper, hoping it feels good, the tight clutch of her body.]
no subject
The last thing he wants is to hurt her. She's been hurt enough and he loves her.
For a while, he fools himself into thinking he can do this. This, with her legs lifting to wrap around his hips, her ankles crossing and her calves pressing against his arse, her arms twined around his neck, her mouth open and lax beneath his, this all seems doable. His teeth ache with the need to bite down, but he's keeping it in check for now, he's managing not to lose his rhythm, and the way she clutches at him makes him think he's doing a pretty good job.
He even manages to keep it together for a solid few minutes of this, of rocking against her and drinking sweet kisses from her lips, but then he makes the mistake of pressing his face to her neck, and while the rational part of him know there's no blood beneath her skin, his vampire hindbrain knows there's a sweet artery pulsing just beneath that cold, soft flesh, and before he knows what he's doing, his teeth are out and he's burying them in her neck in one swift bite.]
no subject
It all feels so good, the rhythm of their bodies, the friction that makes the lights flicker a little from time to time. It's delicious, utterly, until it isn't. He buries his face against her neck and her hand lifts to curl against his scalp, her breath coming out in pants against his ear, feeling the same of his against her skin. It's perfect, it's utterly perfect until she feels him tense above her and then...
Crying out, she doesn't actually feel that much pain as his fangs sink into her neck, viciously. It's more the surprise of the bite into her that shocks her back into reality, that has her using what supernatural strength she has to push him up and off of her before she rent-a-ghosts away from him. She doesn't make it far, she simply zips herself off the bed, falling with a large thump to the floor, one of the least graceful efforts she's ever put forth.
The moment her body makes contact with the floor, she's fully clothed, not even in the outfit she'd been wearing before they started this, no, she's right back to what she'd been wearing the day she died.]
no subject
The man cries out for another reason.
Annie disappears from his arms, popping straight off the bed, and Mitchell flings himself away as well, landing on the opposite side from where Annie winds up, although he's still tangled in the bedsheets and completely naked while she's fully-dressed again.]
Annie!— [He doesn't know what to say. He can still feel his fangs out, the ache in them, the frustrated need that he hasn't been able to sate.] I—
Oh god, Annie, I'm sorry. [He flails a little, but doesn't try to get up from the floor, afraid if he tried to stand she'd run away from him and that, that would be something he couldn't bear.] I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to... Annie.
no subject
Tears are already slipping down her cheeks, she cannot stop them, nor herself as she tries to swallow the lump that's suddenly formed in her throat. She holds her hand up] Just... Just stay there. [ She needs a moment to process, a moment to gather the strength to forgive, something she is infinitely good at, except in this moment, she is too shocked to do anything but take in panicked breaths.
What just happened? Had he really bitten her? Did he think... How could he think that she'd want that? Or had she pushed him into losing control? She can't stop the words that tumble from her lips--] Why? [ She'd missed his apologizes in her shock, missed the part when he said that he didn't mean to.] Why did you...
