[ the softness is nice, but when it changes, qi'ra changes with it, cupping his head with both hands so she can brace herself as he holds her against him. when he pulls back to make his request, her hands slide down his neck to his shoulder, then over his biceps as she gives him a full second to contemplate whether or not he should add a statement to it.
[ is it luck if someone wants you and calls specifically for you? that's fate. but the smile on his face makes her happy because she doesn't like to have to ask. having been a graduate over this last year and a half has meant that she can just let it happen whenever it does or seek it out if she wants. asking feelings... different. desperate, even. like she's using someone.
his question makes her laugh and she looks over her shoulder up the stairs behind her. ] There are four, and mine is upstairs, on the right.
[ He doesn't know why he does it exactly. The thought just comes to him and like that he follows through on it. ]
Alright. [ He says it with a little nod, that grin still present, and then moves to swoop Qi'ra up into his arms. He kisses her quickly so there is little in the way of argument as he starts up the stairs, moving rather quickly considering he's carrying someone bridal-style up them. ]
[ to be qi'ra is to command attention and power and to be the one in control at all times. to have someone sweep her, quite literally, off her feet is something that doesn't happen. it just doesn't, not ever, so it takes her by surprise - something that's both visible and audible when she gasps.
the kiss is necessary to silence objections, but she gives in easily. cupping his face, the kiss turns sweet, before she releases him so he doesn't trip up her stairs. tt the top, she nods in the direction of the room, still watching his face as if she's unsure why she's allowing this.
she's not sure, but that's something else, entirely. ]
I can walk.
[ not a complaint, clearly. an observation, before she places a kiss just at his temple. ]
[ He lets the kiss end because he does need to navigate and make sure he doesn't accidentally hurt Qi'ra, but his little grin doesn't disappear. He's feeling good, suddenly but with good reason, and he's not going to hide that right now. ]
Walking is overrated.
[ He counters in this way before nudging her bedroom door all the way open with his foot and entering. He doesn't take the time now to admire how extravagant the room surely is, judging from the house itself, and instead heads straight to the bed. He lays Qi'ra down upon it. ]
she doesn't say it because now isn't the time. in her youth, shoving and scrabbling were the kinds of gestures that happened and, in her adult life, the touches were far less gentle. but this? this is new and she doesn't want to admit that in this moment. it feels vulnerable. ]
A very long time. [ she looks at him and gives a coy smile. ] It will be difficult for me to ride you if you're not in this bed with me.
[ He grins, thinking little of her answer to his question and instead focusing on the clear invitation. He toes off his shoes and climbs onto the bed atop of her at first. Bracing himself above her, he leans in to kiss her. It's downright sweet at first blush, but quickly rises in heat as it progresses.
One hand travels down to her hip, then moves up her body, over her belly and ribs, settling at her breast which he caresses, thumb circling her nipple through the fabric of her clothes. ]
[ having known that he was coming, qi'ra isn't wearing a bra and her body responds to that touch, her nipple tightening under his thumb. the way the fabric moves over it is as much an arousal as the way he touches her and she arches into the kiss, bringing her own hand up and against the back of his head. for someone who'd been new to all of this when he'd arrived, he's been a very quick learner.
she appreciates it.
it's easy for her to lean up, shrug her shoulders out of the top of the jumpsuit, and let it fall down her arms. leaving her breasts exposed to him, she breaks the kiss and gives him a look, sucking her bottom lip in briefly before giving a small instruction. ]
[ He is an exceedingly good student when he puts his mind to it and by now he has had a bit of practice. He takes the quiet responses of her body as encouragement, not to move too fast but to continue as he has been.
Until she takes off the top of the jumpsuit. She breaks the kiss and he sucks in a quick breath, his hand now sliding over the warm flesh of her shoulder, her side.
He smirks faintly and dips his head to her neck to kiss. He begins to move to his knees, kissing his way down her body, leaving traces of his lips down the line between her breasts, to her belly. Then hs is on his knees and undoing the zip holding her jumpsuit in place. He slides the fabric from her hips, letting it pool at her feet. ]

then a slow smile appears. ]
Done.

His hands tighten on her hips briefly before he eases back and looks around. He huffs out a dry laugh. ]
Where is there even a bedroom in this place?
