The House in Limbo City, Late Wednesday Afternoon

[not_every_mage]

Anders was cooking dinner for Kathy.

That wasn't exactly an unknown even, but it was still rare enough that he kept double-checking the recipe for tofu tacos as he sliced and seasoned. There was already dish of black beans and a basket of chips and salsa on the table, and plenty of cold beer in the fridge for them both.

He poked at the tofu in the pan one more time, satisfied to see a dark sear forming on the underside, and called up to his girlfriend.

"Dinner looks like it's almost ready!"

[OOC: For the girl, please!]

"Don't worry," Kathy said with a grin. "We can just send him to snuggle Dante. He'll love that."

[not_every_mage]

"Dante, or Ronin?" Anders wondered. "Or both of them?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"Dante, entirely," Kathy said, eyes dancing with mischief. "Who wouldn't love eighty-pounds of dog draped over them?"

[not_every_mage]

"At least it'll mean he's not spending the night alone," Anders grinned at her. "I love when we're all together, but sometimes it's nice to get you to myself."

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy couldn't stop her smile. "Exactly," she said, her hand settling over the one he'd placed on her knee. "Sometimes I just don't wanna share. Not you or your attention."

[not_every_mage]

"I feel the same way," Anders told her, feeling a thrill from the warmth of her hand. "You deserve my undivided attention once in a while."

[spin_kick_snap]

"So, any plans for that undivided attention after dinner?" Kathy asked, bottom lip caught between her teeth as she smiled.

Anders finished his beer before he answered. "Get you naked and use my tongue on you until you scream?" he suggested. "If that works for you."

[spin_kick_snap]

"And here, I was thinking small, like waiting until we were watching TV before going down on you," Kathy said, not bothering to hide the heat that leapt into her gaze. "But I'm willing to go along with your idea."

[not_every_mage]

"If you want to watch TV, we could," Anders said, voice mock-nonchalant even as his eyes matched the heat in Kathy's. "I haven't watched the new season of Dark Reflection"

[spin_kick_snap]

"You know?" Kathy said, thoughtfully. "That sounds like fun, but I really think you were onto something with your first idea."

[not_every_mage]

"I thought you might like that one," Anders said, glancing over the table. "Let's have dessert now, and clean up later."

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy finished her last taco, scooping up the remnants of guacamole off her plate, and then pushed her chair back. "So which one of us is dessert?" she asked, leaving her chair to eel into his, straddling his lap with a grin.

[not_every_mage]

"How corny would it be if I said you, because you're sweet?" Anders wondered, hands moving up Kathy's thighs.

[spin_kick_snap]

"One day, you two nerds'll catch on that there's nothing too corny or too sappy to make me happy," Kathy teased, nipping at his ear.

"...Though now I realize you might have literally meant dessert and need to pause in case there's cake or something I hadn't noticed."

[not_every_mage]

Anders shook his head, feeling the soft brush of Kathy's hair against his cheek.

"I think we still have some ice cream," he offered. "But to be honest, I want that almost as much as I want to watch Netflix."

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy chuckled, continuing to kiss down his neck. "Ice cream and chill can come later," she murmured. "After you and I do."

[not_every_mage]

"Well-played," Anders murmured, and brought his hands higher yet on her legs, feeling the smooth skin under her skirt.

[spin_kick_snap]

"May not be quite the cunning linguist you are," Kathy said with a smile far too gleeful than the jokes necessarily deserved, "but I've gotten a little bit of practice in, here and there."

[not_every_mage]

"You're a good teacher, too," Anders praised as his fingers edged toward where the hem of her underwear would be. "You have me speaking in all kinds of tongues."

[spin_kick_snap]

"I like your tongue," Kathy purred, leaning down to kiss him, her hair falling around them like a dark veil.

[not_every_mage]

"It likes you," Anders said, and then he lost himself in the kiss, feeling Kathy's hair surround them like silk. His lips parted as he deepened the kiss.

[spin_kick_snap]

And her tongue took advantage of that, slipping inside to meet his again. She settled further onto his lap, lightly rocking against him, the bulge of his pants notching against the soft cotton of her underwear.

Her kiss was a teasing one, full of promise and exploration.

[not_every_mage]

Anders matched the ardor of her kiss, lips pressing more firmly and then receding, pressing his teeth in now and again. He had to fight the urge to rock more firmly against her soft warmth.

He'd get there. But not yet.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy slid her hands under his shirt, hands skimming over his chest. One thumb came up to to play with his nipple, the other slid around to clasp him tighter to her. Her breasts rested sweetly against his collarbone.

Better than dessert.
