[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of this month.  Because not everyone is into parties, ok.  

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt. ]

[ as soon as charming makes a move to help her with opening his shirt, amara seems joyfully convinced that he's 100% on board with all of this, and ... crit fails even further, finally just ripping the last few out of frustration (str 15 damn gurl). her hand slides up his bare chest greedily, her kisses growing more insistent as she rocks against him down south. her mouth slips down his throat, licking and kissing and nibbling at his skin the whole way. it's all very sexy and... overwhelming. there's no beat of hesitation anywhere in her actions, only that confident desire. ]

[uncease]

[His eyes fly open wider as she tears the last few buttons. He can hear the distant sound of them striking various pieces of furniture in the room. He sits up straighter, as if to try to say something, possibly even to stop her. But her mouth is against his skin then, and her hips keep moving... and there's no way he can form a coherent sentence, let alone try to ask her to stop. (will 9)

His hands slip to her waist, then creep up around her back, holding her against him. His fingers curl, gripping at her clothing lightly as she finds a particularly sensitive part of his neck. He's not quite ready to rip her clothes off but he is very aware of them.]

[besmitten]

[ she smiles against his skin and then slides back up his chest to look at him, reaching gently for his arms, as she moves back to her feet, tugging lightly on him to join her. she casts a look over her shoulder at the bed, and then affixes him with an all too sultry come hither expression, hand moving to his as she starts to draw him that way (charisma check 23) ]

[uncease]

[AND HE FINALLY GETS A WILL SAVE IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS!!!

... but it's still not enough to beat that charisma, god damn.]

Maybe we should- [But as she takes his hand and tries to lead him back to the bed, his mouth goes dry and he can't remember where that sentence was going. Standing in his now-open shirt, he steps forward with her with a dazed obedience. Too bad it's not a curse- it's just a boner.]

[besmitten]

[ amara caresses his chest once as she turns a wide-eyed expression on him at his hesitance. ] Should... what? [ her voice trails off into a sense of husky innuendo, as she reaches a hand up to unclasp her dress at the nape of the neck. with a quiet whisper, the fabric slides away, and then she's standing half-naked in front of him looking at him expectantly. ]

[uncease]

Should... uhm- [He stumbles as he looks at her, all that beautiful skin exposed to his eyes. He looks at her, unable to stop himself from raking his eyes down, then back up again. He doesn't know how to answer the question because he can't formulate the same train of thought he had a few seconds ago.

Instead of trying to find words, he steps up, fingertips grazing the exposed skin at her waist before he pulls her closer. For the first time of the evening, Charming is not merely allowing it to happen, but making a move. He wants this- or at least his body does, and right now, common sense isn't shouting loud enough to be heard.

Bringing his lips to hers, he presses forward, walking them closer to the bed while he kisses her.]

[besmitten]

[ she shivers slightly at his touch, and happily pulls him down on top of her on the bed, hands gripping his open shirt and pushing it off his shoulders as he sinks over her. A very pleased noise escapes her throat as she returns the kiss, clearly glad to be apparently past his words and potential reservations. ]

[uncease]

[The mattress yields for them, but Charming barely realizes the contact beyond the fact that he's holding himself up above her. His shirt falls away and he takes the opportunity of the shift in his arms to run his hands along her sides, feeling the curve of her body as her returns to her mouth.

And with one last will save to give Charming his fighting chance to come to his senses, he gets a whopping... ten. So I guess it's showtime.]

with her con check, apparently amara is all but insatiable in bed, since she can't get enough of charming. she's tender and skilled, and goes out of her way to please him in ways he apparently never even knew he wanted with that wisdom/dex check too...

and through it at all, she takes great delight in worshipfully repeating his name as she winds herself against him, and there's such a light of happiness in her eyes every time they meet his that it's easy enough to fall into the illusion that she'd painted for him: that she's not, in fact, cursed, and that her feelings are as real as the lips on his. ]

What we have learned is that Charming is really pretty to look at and definitely wants to keep going all night long, but he's clumsy as fuck and not very intuitive to this particular partner's needs. But she is blowing his mind right now (and maybe blowing other things???). The way she moves and speaks, how she looks at him and makes him shudder with her name on her lips. He's certainly not thinking of any curse now. Whenever they manage to be tired of each other, he lays back to catch his breath, sheets and pillows moved all around from their romp.]

...Wow

[besmitten]

[ her hand slides across his chest as she turns to gaze upon him, absolutely glowing with contentment. ]

I certainly thought so.

[uncease]

[His hand reaches up to hers, covering it with a light hold. In his post-coital haze, he could only dwell in the feeling of satisfaction for now. But there's an uneasy feeling of guilt that is slowly building. Maybe by morning he'll realize that this was probably not a great idea....]

[besmitten]

[ when he doesn't respond, she just lays her head on his chest, and lets out a sigh... and then throws out there: ] I think... [ she reconsiders the word, speaking more certainly: ]

I know...

[ very softly, and happily ] I love you, David.

[uncease]

[Well... that brings him back to reality in a hurry. He freezes, because whatever he had felt during this whole encounter? He would never call it love. He clears his throat, because wow it is suddenly really warm in here...]

Amara, I... [And he just trails off because he was not expecting that and he doesn't want to lie to her.] I don't know if...

[besmitten]

[ she lifts her eyes to regard him cautiously ] Don't know if what?

[uncease]

[He pushes himself up slightly to half-sit.] I don't know if now is the... best time to talk about this. I should- I should go. [He shifts again to sit fully, then moves to get out of bed.]

[besmitten]

Go? Is there somewhere you have to be? [ she draws the blanket up over her chest as she sits up as well ]

[uncease]

Yeah, I need to meet with someone. Guess I forgot. [And in a surprising twist of events, Charming actually tells a possibly convincing lie. (bluff 20 total)

He pulls on his pants and grabs for his shirt next.]

[besmitten]

Who? [ she watches him cautiously, and there's a slight edge to her voice, her tone quiet. ]

[uncease]

My mentor- Fred. [He slips his shirt on and starts to button it, finding the lie slipping just slightly (bluff 18). He grabs his socks and his shoes without putting them on and walks back over to the side of the bed, not touching her but feeling bad to cause her alarm.]

We'll... talk later, alright? [Later after he's thought about what he's done and probably banged his head against a wall a few hundred times.]

[besmitten]

Very well. [ her words are so even that they barely sound natural at all considering how happy she was moments before. her eyes slide up him as if debating whether to try touching him herself and deciding to hold off. ] Soon?

[uncease]

Yeah. I'll... call you. [Wow did he really just say that? Cringing slightly at how dumb all of this sounds, he glances around the room and does his best to give a reassuring smile before heading for the door.

HE THEN PUTS HIS SHOES BACK ON AND FINDS A BAR IN THE CASTLE, WHERE HIS MENTOR MEETS YOU ANYWAY SO HE'S NOT EVEN A LIAR. SO THERE.]
