OFA: In the library

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola is getting rusty.

But he has a good enough memory that despite the fact that it's been a good twenty years since he sat down at a piano, he's doing a fairly decent job of making his way through Au Claire de la Lune.

He doesn't play well, but he plays with great expression.

Comments

[x_coriare]

She smiles, taking his hand and standing with a little click from her heels on the floor. "Charming."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"I do try on occasion," Nikola says, tucking her hand into the crook of his arm and leading her toward the front door.

[x_coriare]

She laughs a little at that, accepting the gesture and walking with him, free hand in the pocket of her coat. "I get the feeling I should be more apprehensive right now than I am."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Nonsense," Nikola says, steering her inside and down the hallway leading to his bedroom. "I intend to take very good care of you."

[x_coriare]

She looks over at that, caught somewhere between amused and actually assured. "I doubt you could break me, Nikola."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Then you really have nothing to worry about."

[x_coriare]

"You're very convincing," she says, trailing her fingertips over the wall as she walks. "Assuming you don't have plans to fuck me up against a wall yet, I'm not worried. Curious, and a little excited, but not worried."

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Well, not for the first time, anyway," Nikola says, smirking as he opens the door to his room.

[x_coriare]

"In that case I'll let you know, I've been told I don't tend to hold still very well," she smirks back.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola leads her into the bedroom, shuts the door, and pulls her close. "Even better."

[x_coriare]

Raya chuckles at being pulled against him, and loops her arms around the back of his neck, tilting her head back to look up at Nikola better and exposing her throat. She likes what he can do there.

"I seem to remember something like this," she says, rising up on her toes to catch his lips with her own. "Just like deja vu,"

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Hopefully, this will turn out a little differently," Nikola murmurs, kissing her deeply.

[x_coriare]

"Hopefully," she echoes, letting him take control and lazily kissing back. There's no point in denying she likes this, and Nikola tastes...well, right now, like a mix of alcohol and the sugary taste still left on her own tongue.

"I think," she murmurs, pulling away just enough to speak, that one or both of us might be wearing a few too many clothes." She isn't impatient to be unclothed, but getting to watch Nikola strip is entertaining.

[ps_you_look_hot]

"One or both?" Nikola murmurs, dipping his head to drag his lips over her neck. "I think I agree."

[x_coriare]

Raya laughs, and then almost purrs at the feel of Nikola's lips on her skin, curling her fingers around the back of his neck. "Well you're certainly wearing more than I am."

[ps_you_look_hot]

He chuckles softly, the sound vibrating against her skin. "So I suppose it's only fair I lose a few layers." He pulls back with a soft burst of electricity and unbuttons his jacket.

[x_coriare]

"Something like that," she laughs, letting the electric burst take her in a shudder as it dissipates. "I like it when you do that," Raya murmurs, peeling off her gloves and coat as he takes the jacket off.

"Should we strip by turns, then?"

[ps_you_look_hot]

"Mm...I don't know," Nikola says, watching her with interest. "I rather like that outfit on you."

[x_coriare]

"I'd thought you would," Raya laughs. "It's very comfortable, so by all means, if you'd like me to keep it on..."

[ps_you_look_hot]

There's yet another jacket under the first, and Nikola takes his time getting it off. "By all means. It creates a nice aesthetic."

[x_coriare]

"I almost don't want you to explain what you mean by nice aesthetic," she chuckles, leaning back on one hip against the door. "Though I'll take it as a compliment anyway. It's actually less revealing than some things I've worn," she says lightly.

Raya will leave the imagining of that outfit entirely to Nikola.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola arches an eyebrow at that revelation. "Sometimes it's better to be a little more covered."

His shirt comes next, but he leaves the jeans on for the moment, sitting low on his hips.

[x_coriare]

She chuckles at the expression, and watches him undress, liking very much the way the jeans sit well below his waist. "Well, now. What would you have me take off?"

She doesn't particularly elaborate on what they were all wearing, since at the time it had been undeniably awkward for her to walk around in what effectively was heels and underclothes that covered far less than what she was wearing now.

[ps_you_look_hot]

Nikola sits on the bed to take off his shoes and regards her for a moment, considering his options. "Just the skirt for now, I think."

[x_coriare]

"Should have seen that coming," she murmurs, but reaches back to undo the little row of buttons that holds the top band of fabric closed, pushing it down off her hips and stepping out of it gracefully, though one loose piece of her hair falls over her collarbone when Raya bends to drop it where the rest of her clothes are.

She's still mostly covered--in a manner of speaking--but where she does show skin is certainly risque. "I like the way you look in nothing but jeans. Very sexy," she remarks.
