Say I'm clean, I'm clean

the intimate bathing meme;

Grooming is an important part of many species' rituals. It keeps them clean, healthy, and content. And a good bath? It can change the whole tone of a day from terrible to relaxed and blissful. But nudity is sometimes viewed as a weakness - and it is almost always sexualized - so bathing is often kept a private matter. If you do share these moments with someone, they're almost always a significant other or a sexual partner. Like you're doing now. Whether it be after a battle or after sex (or before sex, even), the two of you are going to get clean. Be sure to help each other out with that, won't you? After all, there are places on the back that just can't be reached... HOW TO PLAY: Comment with your character, your prefs, etc. If there are other grooming-related practices or kinks you'd like to include, like shaving, hair washing, mention them! Reply to others!

Well, uh both of those ideas actually turn me on. One visual gets me harder than the other.

[secondshift]

Why don't you take this.

[Karen smiled, maybe a little mischieviously as she handed him the washcloth.]

And you do whatever you want, and we'll see where this takes us.

[He took the wash cloth and smiled. He slowly began washing her back, hands moving along her entire back, rubbing over the small of her back.]

[Karen closed her eyes and let herself focus on the feel of his hands on her body. How different it was and what else he could do with those hands if he wanted to. She enjoyed her foreplay and she liked this back and forth between them.]

So if we did start working together then I suppose I'd need to indulge any fantasies of mine now.

[wegavethatup]

Only if you can't separate work and off the clock.

[He worked a little tension out of her back, just enjoying her skin beneath his fingers.]

[secondshift]

Oh I've mastered that.

[But now she was just going to try and push his buttons, or at least see how he reacted to that more wild side she had alluded to. He could always tell her to stop, but she was curious.]

I was just thinking about me sitting on your face. You bending me over your desk.

[wegavethatup]

Well, you would look good bent over my desk. Your ass up in the air for me to play with.

[secondshift]

[Touche. Now Karen knew she didn't have to worry about offending him with her often inappropriate sense of humor.]

I'm well aware my ass still looks good. Just wait until you get the full frontal view.

[wegavethatup]

I look forward to that view. The one I have now is perfect.

[She smiled to herself at that. What woman didn't want to hear she still looked good at her age. Plus between his hands, the water and the wine she was feeling pretty good about herself anyway.]

You might not have meant to seduce me, Jeffrey, but you're doing a nice job of it.

[wegavethatup]

Good to know I can still do so, and honestly? I'm enjoying this with you.

[secondshift]

Me too. It feels good to know I can actually connect with someone again. And to just do something impulsive without thinking three steps ahead about it.

[Chuckles.]

Are you okay? Water's not getting too cold, is it?

[ooc: btw, don't know if you'd be into it, but this just went up and I could totally see that being a hilarious follow-up to this.]
