A Lesson In Anatomy {Shane}

[Beatrice Fletcher]

It was pretty crazy how fast Beatrice had grown comfortable in Shane's presence. Not that she was the type of girl who took forever to open up and let other people in her space, but still, considering the fact that she'd never had a boyfriend before, she'd figured it would still take a little while before she was fully at ease in this type of a relationship. It was hardly more than a month since hers and Shane's first date though, and at this point, it felt like they had been dating for... well, not forever exactly, but still, a while. Which would probably explain why she had actually gone ahead and sent him a topless picture over break, in spite of the fact that it seemed so entirely out of character for herself that she had all but freaked out once the file had finished sending. In spite of that thought, she hadn't been dubious of what he would do with the picture, and she still wasn't - one of the things that was easy to establish about his personality was that he was a good guy, and regardless of where their relationship would be headed, she had no doubt that the picture she had sent him would never get shared to anybody else. It would stay between the two of them, she trusted him wholeheartedly on that.

Now that they were both back at the Academy though, she couldn't help but feel a tad nervous at the idea of showing the same amount of skin, but face to face instead of via a text shared picture. He hadn't asked for anything at this point - she didn't really expect him to either, at least not in a demanding way, because it just didn't seem fitting for him to do that. Still, she was pretty sure he was hopeful of it, just like she wouldn't say no to taking his own shirt off, but she figured that at some point it would happen. In the meantime, she was perfectly happy with their current activity - which was saying something, seeing as they were studying. It was something that had to be done though, so she'd much rather do it with him than by herself - and she was finding his stomach to be a perfect resting place for her head as she read through her Spanish notes, both of them stretched out at an odd, but comfy nonetheless, angle on her twin size bed so that she could use him as her own personal pillow. "Please remind me that, even though it would be awesome, I should abstain from ever visiting a Spanish speaking country because I'll be way too likely to accidentally insult someone," she spoke a bit absentmindedly as she doodled along the edges of her notebook.

Since Shane had gotten back to school from Canada, he'd been spending a lot of time with Beatrice. Which he had no problem with because she was a very attractive girl and they got along really well together. Which was why they could hang out and do things like homework and it wasn't a big deal. Of course all of his friends thought they had to be hooking up with how much time they spent together, no matter how much he told them that they weren't. It didn't surprise him that they didn't listen anyway, except for Tanner, considering how little time they had to spend with a girl to start getting more physical action with them. But oh well, he they could say what they wanted. He was happy with the way that things were going between the two of them and he was pretty sure that Beatrice was too, judging by the way that she acted around hum and the Facebook statuses that she made. Plus, she was friends with Tanner's girlfriend and though the guy wasn't one to talk about other people, if things were going bad, he'd most likely drop some sort of hint about it his way.

Currently though, he was busy laying back in her bed with his History book, looking over the highlighted areas in the text book as Bea rested her head on his stomach and read through her own Spanish notes. They each had tests coming up, then again, when didn't they? But it was important for each of them to get some studying done. To tell the truth, he was getting a bit bored of studying and he felt like he'd retained all the information that he could about the American government and how it ran throughout history. So when Bea made a comment, he just went ahead and closed his book, laughing as she told him not to let her visit a Spanish speaking country lest she insult everyone there. "Well, I'm sure that you could easily win their good favor back by flashing a smile and telling them 'perdóname'," he told her teasingly. "Though that's a bit informal. Probably better to bat those pretty blue eyes and say 'te pido perdón'." Spanish wasn't something that he'd ever had much trouble with here, probably because he'd had to learn the basics of French in school and they were very similar.

Beatrice was glad that she could spend time like this with Shane - of course, studying wasn't her favorite thing to do, but if she got to do with an awesome person in the room, it at least added a few moments of entertainment now and again. Not to mention, it made study break so much funner. The only downside is that it made those aforementioned study breaks that much more attractive (in more than one way), and so she really had to control herself from putting her books down every five minutes. She didn't really know what was up with her, either - she'd never been one of those girls that just felt so interested by boys and making out, among other things. Girls who just wanted to date all the time because they just needed the physical stuff. She'd never really cared that much about any of those kind of aspects, to be honest - of course, she hadn't been entirely careless about the idea either, but it just hadn't been at the top of her priority list. Maybe it had to do with the fact that she hadn't gotten any experience in said activities until now, but she just didn't think it had been that present on her mind to start with.

With Shane around though, it was waaay different. And she was definitely trying to have some self control because she didn't want to be one of those people that just flew through the steps of a physical relationship. Not that she thought badly of anyone that handled their relationship differently, other people's business was not hers, but it just wasn't her style, and she didn't want to rush into anything. Not to mention, she just wasn't ready. But she was pretty confident that Shane wouldn't try to push her into anything she wasn't ready for, so she wasn't too worried about it. She giggled lightly as he responded to her statement, glancing up at him and raising an eyebrow slightly as he added the next part. "You think I have pretty blue eyes?" she asked a bit teasingly, closing up her notebook and turning to her side, scooting herself up the bed a little as she propped her arm up and resting her chin into her palm. "Does that mean if I bat my pretty blue eyes at you, I can win your good favors?" she added with a slight grin, batting her eyelashes for effect.

Studying with Beatrice wasn't exactly Shane's favorite activity, but he had to admit that it was better than studying by himself. Sure, they did tend to get distracted a bit more than he would normally but it was worth it. Spending time with Beatrice was just a fun thing, no matter what they were doing. Sure, his favorites things to do were more on the physical side despite not having gotten very far. In fact, even though Beatrice had sent him a picture that he'd been very surprised and very happy to receive, he hadn't gotten that view again since they'd been back together. Not that he'd ever push her for something, clearly she knew that he appreciated the picture and hopefully when she was ready she'd be fine with them doing a little bit more than fully clothed making out. For now though, he was content with what they were doing even if it was just studying, though it looked like they were about to get off the studying and onto the flirting aspect of the day. Which, again, he really had no problems with because it was something he enjoyed too.

Basically, no matter what he was doing, it was enjoyable with Beatrice. He smiled a bit as he noticed her closing her notebook too, effectively ending the study session part of the day. Liking the giggle that she gave in response to his teasing. "Yes, I do think so," he answered as she went ahead and asked if he thought she had pretty blue eyes. He thought that she was beautiful all over but there was certainly something about her eyes that just sort of popped when you looked at her face. With her next question, complete with her batting her eyelashes at him, he couldn't help but chuckle before he brought his hand up for his face and rubbed his chin while looking off in the distance. "Hmm," he said, looking back at her. "I just don't know if I should be telling you that. Who knows what you could do with that information if I just voluntarily tell you." He was teasing of course. But, she probably could bat her eyes at him and win the favors that she wanted.

[Beatrice Fletcher]

To be honest, Beatrice had known upon inviting Shane to come and study with her that it would be a fairly short study session. She didn't mind, though - she'd have plenty more times to study up for her Spanish test, but right now she really just wanted to spend some time with her boyfriend. The term itself made her feel a bit jittery at times - it seemed so strange to her that she even had a boyfriend, let alone one as awesome - and attractive - as Shane was. And it wasn't so much that she didn't consider herself good enough to land a guy like him, but still, most people didn't really pay that much attention to her because she didn't want everyone's attention on her in the first place. Somehow, though, she'd caught his. She still had no idea how that had happened - she blended in pretty well in a crowd, yet he had noticed her, numerous times if she believed what he said, and she had no reason not to. It was weird to think that he had noticed her before she had noticed him, even. But in the end, she was pretty glad that everything had turned out the way it had.

She couldn't help but grin as he responded to her first question, saying that he did think she had pretty blue eyes, raising an eyebrow slightly as he chuckled and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. She gave a light snort as he spoke next, shaking her head a bit before leaning closer to him, her body half resting against his, her face a mere few inches from his own. "Are you saying you don't trust me?" she asked in a soft, teasing voice, biting down on her bottom lip lightly as she kept looking into his eyes before moving closer to press their lips together, her hand lightly gripping at his shirt as she deepened the kiss some, pulling away before reaching the point where she would want to keep doing this for hours. Of course, she'd probably get to that point sooner or later, but not just yet. "If not voluntarily, what exactly do I have to do in exchange for that information then?" she asked, her lips still close enough to his that they almost brushed together as she spoke. She'd never really had the occasion to practice seduction before, but this was as good a time as any to try it out.

[Shane Winters]

Shane had to admit that he was glad that the studying portion of this particular get together was over. Not that he didn't need to study, because he did and he would find time for it later, but if he was going to be with his still new girlfriend, he'd rather spend the time doing other things together. At least they'd managed to get a bit of studying done so he could go ahead and make the statement that they'd accomplished something that was useful outside of their relationship, if anyone asked. And knowing his friends, someone was bound to make some sort of comment about how much time that he'd been spending with his girlfriend. Then again, if he said that they'd just been studying, that wouldn't be met with anything but teasing either. So, he'd probably just have to get used to the taunting that came from being in a relationship, not that he'd never done any of it to anyone else. After all, he couldn't even count the number of times he'd made fun of Tanner since he'd started to date Isabelle and it was all in good fun.

Listening to the snort that she gave with his next answer, he was pretty amused. Not at all complaining as he felt her move to rest her body halfway on his own, taking in the closeness that she now provided as she asked if he was saying that he didn't trust her. His attention shifting as he watched her bite down on her bottom lip, wondering if she was aware of how attractive it was when she did that. Probably, given what he was sure she was trying to do. Not complaining though as she pressed her lips against his own, returning the kiss just as deeply as she'd given it and feeling her grip at his shirt as he moved his hand to grip at her hair. Almost complaining as she pulled away from the kiss to ask what she had to do to get the information. Feeling her lips practically brush against his own as she spoke. "Well, I think I just need some more persuasion to be willing to give up such powerful information," he answered, his voice slightly lower. "I mean, with what you can do with that knowledge, I don't know if I should just be giving it away."

[Beatrice Fletcher]

Beatrice generally did her best not to be a judgemental person - everybody was different, and as such, everybody had a right to their own way of living their lives, regardless of what other people thought of it. However, she couldn't deny that there had been times in the past when she had thought... not badly, but differently of girls who just threw themselves into a physical relationship with another person without hardly even knowing them. And it wasn't that she thought they were stupid or slutty for doing so - it was their own decision and not everybody felt similarly about physical relationships. Not to mention, there were enough guys who had a similar way of thinking, so she wasn't gonna start blaming her own gender for doing things that were more socially acceptable when boys did it. Not that she wanted to start getting into a whole feminist train of thought right now, this was definitely not the time and place. Nonetheless, there were still many inequalities from one gender to another, and she really didn't want to be one of the people who contributed to that way of thinking.

Not to mention, she understood it a lot better now. Watching other people live it and experiencing it herself were two completely, polar opposite things, and boy did she feel horrible for ever having the slightest bit of judgement, no matter of small, toward any person that rushed through intimacy steps. Now she could see where that desire came from, because there was something about the way things felt inside of her when she was close to Shane that made her want to do all sorts of things that she didn't think she was ready for - but if she had been ready for it, she was pretty sure time spent in a relationship wouldn't have affected how soon she'd have wanted to jump his bones. As it was, things were moving a bit faster than she'd ever expected they would, and she didn't feel wrong about it. Even though she didn't know Shane from A to Z, she trusted him. And he was really, really, really hot. She couldn't help the slight shade of red that tinted her cheeks when he mentioned he would need more persuasion to share the information she was after, cursing her complexion as she pressed a light kiss to his lips. "Is that so?" she asked, pulling away slightly and ignoring the way her heartbeat sped up as she grabbed onto the hem of her shirt and pulled it off of her body, hesitating only half a second before getting rid of her bra in a similar fashion, leaning closer to Shane once more, her cheeks still burning red. "How's that for persuasion?" she couldn't help but ask.

[Shane Winters]

Shane didn't know what kind of answer Bea was going to come up with to his suggestion that he'd need some persuasion to get the answer out of him. Not that she couldn't have guessed the answer very easily because she totally could have. Of course her blue eyes were able to get pretty much whatever she wanted from him. How could he really deny anything to someone who was so beautiful? It'd practically be a crime to not give her something that she wanted that was within his power. Not that she had to know that she pretty much had that sort of power already because it usually took more time for girls to get that sort of power over guys but he really couldn't help it. Maybe it'd been growing up with Shannon that made it so difficult for him to say no to girls when they asked him for something. Or maybe it was the whole having two moms thing. Either way, he'd always had a weakness toward giving girls what they wanted and since Beatrice was so attractive, it made it all the harder to even want to tell her no when she made suggestions.

So even if she just kept giving him kisses, he'd end up letting her in on that fact without too much trouble. For now though, he figured that it was best to just try and enjoy however she decided to use her powers of persuasion. Smiling a little as he saw the red color flush her cheeks, wondering if she knew that she actually looked really cute when she blushed. Returning the light kiss she gave before asking if that was so. Nodding in response, the words he'd been about to say dying on his tongue as he saw her reach down to the hem of her shirt. His eyes eagerly and greedily taking in the skin she was showing, though apparently it was going to get even better, as she got rid of her bra only a second or so later. His eyes trailing along her perfect skin and appreciating the view more than words could probably express. The picture that she'd sent did no justice to how she looked in person topless. He pressed a lusty kiss against her lips when she asked how that was for persuasion, moving one of his hands to rest on her side for the moment. Pulling away after a minute or two to answer her question. "I.. haven't ever seen a more convincing argument," he answered in seriousness.

[Beatrice Fletcher]

It was strange just how nerve wrecking one simple gesture could be, but Beatrice couldn't help but be anxious as she sat topless in front of Shane. And it wasn't like she even should worry that bad - after all, she'd sent him a picture over the winter break, but pictures didn't necessarily always show everything perfectly, especially a cell phone picture. She was pretty sure there must be some imperfections about her body that were showing more blatantly now, and if he hadn't noticed them at all on the picture, now might be the time that he would, and that could lead to him not being so impressed by what he saw now. She really hoped that would not be the case, but she couldn't help it. It was the very first time she found herself with so little clothing on in front of someone else, unless you counted bathing suits, but that wasn't the same thing. She didn't mind showing her stomach, it did pretty well as was as stomachs went. She wasn't the most well endowed girl on the planet though, even though she didn't exactly have anything to complain about either, and maybe Shane would be disappointed with that.

Thankfully enough, it didn't take her long to realize that Shane was the further thing from disappointed as he could be as soon as her bra fell off to the ground. Seeing the look in his eyes as he looked her over caused shivers to run through her body, unable to keep a soft moan as he pressed his lips against her own in a lustful kiss, returning it in a deep fashion as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing herself a bit closer against him. She felt slightly breathless - not so much from the length of the kiss, but the way he'd been giving it - once he pulled away from her, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red as he told her he'd never seen a more convincing arguments, unable to keep herself from smiling lightly. It was a bit strange, seeing herself through his eyes - it made her feel more beautiful than she ever had before in her life. "So, does that mean I get an answer to my question?" she asked him in a bit of a teasing fashion, her fingers lightly playing with the fabric of his own shirt - curious about the way it might feel to press her bare skin against his own.

[Shane Winters]

Shane had technically already seen Beatrice topless with the picture that she'd sent him, which had been a big and great surprise to receive. And even though he had a good phone, with a decent size and decent views, it just didn't compare at all. And he'd admittedly spent a bit of time looking at the picture that she'd sent. It'd definitely, uh, come in handy for certain things. But seeing her in front of him now, he knew that she was the most attractive girl that he'd ever seen. Not that he'd seen too many girls topless, but none could compare to Beatrice on attractiveness. There was definitely no lack of mental pictures being taken at this point either. It was really crazy, because it wasn't like it was the first time that he'd seen a girl topless, and yet it felt like it almost. Since he was practically speechless as he tried to gather his thoughts on what was happening, because honestly, it was ridiculous but seeing her shirtless just kinda wiped away all the thoughts that he'd had in his mind. In fact, the only thing he could do was wonder how beautiful she'd be if he got to see her without any clothes at all.

But he wasn't stupid enough to think that that would be something he'd be seeing in the near future. And he was perfectly okay with that. For now, just enjoying exactly what he was getting, the feel of her pushing herself closer to him while he kissed her pretty much indescribable, knowing that it'd have been even better with skin to skin contact and figuring that he could take care of that later. Pleased to see her cheeks turn a deep shade of red when he made his comment, enjoying the sight and knowing how she'd been affected by his words. Listening to her question, he felt her fingers playing lightly with his shirt, wondering if he should take it off but figuring he'd enjoy it more if she was the one to do so. "Yes, I suppose it does," he answered, pressing a light kiss against the side of her neck, his fingers moving to run along her side and take in the feel of her soft skin underneath them. "Though I think you're probably aware of the fact that you can bat those gorgeous blue eyes at me and win whatever favors you'd like."

[Beatrice Fletcher]

It was pretty weird for Beatrice to have this kind of effect on a guy, and even more so to have the knowledge of it. She didn't have very many body image issues, maybe just a few here and there - but then, who didn't? - but she'd never considered herself to be as beautiful as the way she could see herself through Shane's eyes. The way he was looking at her in itself was enough to make her shiver, and it made her wonder how he could possibly see so much in her body that she'd never been able to see before. It was a bit unsettling, really, because the reality of things was that he was pretty much the first guy to have shown that much interest in her. At least to her knowledge, seeing as he'd been seeking her out for a little while and she'd never even gotten wind of it. But she doubted that was a situation that had occured that many times in her life, and as it was, she didn't mind. She liked being with Shane, a lot, and who knew if she would have gotten the opportunity to be if she had been with other guys. Maybe she'd have been dating someone already that day he finally approached her in Starbucks. Things happened for a reason.

Not that she believed she had stayed single all her teenage years just so she could be with him, that would be a bit far fetched, but at least in the few months before she'd met him. And she still wasn't a hundred percent sure what had even attracted him to her, but she was very happy for it all, because it had made for some very interesting evenings thus far, and tonight looked like it was gonna be one of the most interesting of all. She smiled lightly as he responded to her question, though her mind blurred briefly as he went on to press a light kiss against the side of her neck, wondering if he was aware of how easily he could turn her into a puddle. She had to keep herself from whining though as his fingers kept running along her side, not wanting to ask him to touch her already, but the thought very present in her mind. She couldn't hold back a grin though as he went on to say that she could pretty much win any favors of his by batting her blue eyes, moving to press a brief, soft kiss against his lips. "Well then, I guess it's only fair I tell you," she spoke in a quiet voice, feeling like anything louder wasn't fitting to the situation. "When you kiss me, I just melt," she told him, moving her hand to rest on top of his and moving it ever so slightly toward her exposed skin, not all the way but hoping that would be enough for him to take the hint.

[Shane Winters]

Shane knew it wasn't uncommon at times for girls to doubt that their looks weren't all that or to worry that they might be less than perfect in terms of appearance. And really, who could blame them? With society constantly telling them that they weren't enough as they were that they needed the new clothes, hair and a gazillion different cosmetic products. He knew all about it from growing up in a house literally of all females. True, he had male presences in his life, strong male role models with whom he'd been able to have help with the things that he didn't feel comfortable asking his moms for or that they didn't feel comfortable trying to show him because they simply didn't know how to do it - like play hockey for instance. However, he'd spent years waiting for Shannon to get ready, watching her worry about her looks, watching his moms worry about their looks and spend money on products to make them look prettier or younger or whatever else. And though he wouldn't deny that make up could look nice on girls when worn properly, he'd never really seen the big fuss.

And Beatrice, well, she was one of the most naturally beautiful girls that he'd ever seen. So he figured that he might as well try and share that knowledge in different ways. Whether it was complimenting one aspect of her appearance verbally, or openly showing appreciation toward her beautiful body. He never wanted her (or any girl for that matter) to doubt it when he called them beautiful. Smiling a little in return as he saw her grin when he'd answered her, returning the soft but brief kiss that she'd pressed against his lips. Raising an eyebrow as she went on to speak in a quiet voice about being fair and telling him something, though he had no idea what it was. Grinning in response as she went on and told him that she melted when he kissed her. Feeling her hand rest atop his own and moving it up slightly, which was pretty much super hot. Though she probably wouldn't have known that. Pressing his lips back against her own in another deep kiss and complying to her wishes and moving his hand up to touch her, just brushing against her skin at first, before starting to massage at her skin. Pulling away slightly from the kiss, so that his lips brushed her own as he spoke. "Then I guess it'd still be fair to tell you," he replied, just as softly. Pressing another brief kiss to her lips. "That you're so hot you can easily make me lose my head."

[Beatrice Fletcher]

Even though hers and Shane's relationship was still fairly recent, Beatrice couldn't help but feel - and hope - that it would be something that would last a bit on the longer side. It wasn't like she was one of those girls who dated to marry - which there was nothing wrong with, but that just wasn't her priority as a teenager in high school and she didn't want the fact that she was nowhere near ready to think about marriage to keep her from dating - but at the same time, in spite of the fact that she had pretty much no experience with any type of relationship to start with, she couldn't help but feel like long lasting, meaningful relationships were the best. And while there was no way of knowing for sure that a relationship would be headed in that direction, or to force it to go there, she felt that Shane's personality worked well enough with hers that they could have something pretty good if they kept it going in the direction it was currently headed. Hopefully he felt the same way, too - but then she figured it was a little too early on to start talking about it and questioning if he felt similarly.

She couldn't say she was in love yet - three months and a half was enough for some people, but she was just too unfamiliar with the idea of it to even know what to expect from the whole idea of being in love. Which in a way, could go the other way around too - maybe this way she felt toward him was what it was, but then something told her that even without the actual knowledge of what it felt like, she would know when she got there. Besides, right now, there was a completely different set of feelings that she was busy dealing with, and they were of a completely different nature. The deep kiss he pressed to her lips was enough to make her insides feel tingly, but once his hand finally moved up to massage at her skin, she couldn't help the soft moan that escaped her lips, pushing herself closer to him as shivers coursed through her entire body. She looked at him a bit dazedly as he pulled away slightly to speak once more, not really catching all that he said, but it was more than enough for her to crash her lips right back to his own, wrapping her arms tighter around him as she tried to pull herself a bit closer still. She was done talking now.

___________________________________________________

[Shane Winters]

Shane knew that things with Beatrice were going slowly by some other people's standards, since they'd already been together for three and a half months and just now he was getting to see her topless but he knew that the two of them were going fine in his book. He'd never complain about the way that things were turning out, at least. Nor did he hear her complaining about it either. They were working at their own rate and he was happy with it. The only thing that was a bit of a downer was the fact that he knew the two of them were going to have to try and make something work long distance if they were still together by the time the next school year started. And not just like.. brief long distance either, but the distance between Northern British Columbia and Gordon Parks'. Which, he supposed would be up to her to feel like if she was willing to go ahead and make a long distance relationship work like that. And although he'd want her to if things kept in the direction that they were currently going, he wouldn't be able to begrudge her if that happened to be the case.

But he didn't really want to focus on that right now. Instead, he was much more into the current happenings then what was or wasn't going to happen in the future. Because at the current moment he had his girlfriend pressed against him, topless. The moan that she let out as she pushed herself closer to his touch just made him want to get even more sounds to fall from her intoxicating lips. Almost smirking as he saw her look at him in a daze, more than pleased with teh way that her lips crashed against his own, feeling her arms wrap tighter around him as she pressed closer. Moving his hand to the other side to make sure that he didn't neglect any of her perfect skin, deepening the kiss a bit. Continuing to kiss her eagerly until he was running super low on oxygen, pulling away slightly to take off his own shirt. Pressing his body back against her own and his lips down her neck, trailing rough and eager kisses along her soft, perfect skin and teasing any of the weaker spots that he'd found in their past makeout sessions.

[Beatrice Fletcher]

Beatrice had a pretty good idea that hers and Shane's relationship would get to a point where they would need to take a slightly more serious decision sooner than some other couples had to. She had no illusions that, once he graduated from the Academy, he would be going on to an American college - while some students did come around to the United States with the intention of trying to form a future for themselves here, she was well aware that Shane loved his own home country. And since they'd only just met this year, it wasn't like she could even try to be a valid reason for him to want to stick around - not that she figured she would have been that important if they had started dating a few years before, but it was a possibility. The problem at this point was that their relationship was a bit too young to really know where it would lead. But this wasn't really the right time to be thinking about this anyway - they were having a good time, and there were still a few months before they got to the point where he would leave to head back to Canada and they would have to start a long distance relationship.

That wasn't an appealing thought at all either, but neither was the idea of not being with Shane at all. Which was why she pushed this whole issue out of her mind for the time being - she was with him now, very much so, and even if she had wanted to start thinking about other things, his actions were making it practically impossible for any thought or idea to stay in her mind for more than a couple of seconds at a time. Her brain was just turning to mush and she didn't even care. Feeling the way he deepened the kiss making her feel a bit dizzy as she returned it in the same fashion, her fingers trying to grip onto his short hair as she pressed herself closer still until he pulled away from the kiss, a soft whine escaping her lips in spite of the fact that her need for air was probably as great as his. She definitely couldn't complain though once he went on to remove his own shirt, her eyes greedily running over his body until he pressed it back up against her own, tilting her head slightly to give him more access as he started trailing kisses down her neck, gasping softly as he started teasing at her skin, her fingers digging down into his back.
