[ There is a lack of atmosphere, really, but it does seem tense when skin touches skin. It shakes Riley's nerves for a moment with the cold steel of Steven's rings, but he lightly squeezes his hand to show his eagerness.
Feeling a little daring, Riley brings his hand closer before brushing his lips against the back before grazing it down the base of his thumb. ]
Careful and considerate as always.
[ This is most definitely not a hug, but that's fine. ]
[ he makes sure to keep his breathing as even as possible when he sees riley kiss his hand, hoping to keep his composure. he's thankfully able to stay calm enough to stave off another embarrassing blush, and responds with positioning them both so that they're lying on their sides and facing one another, moving their linked hands to rest between them. ]
I have to be.
[ he doesn't want there to be some sort of imbalance between them, but the fact of the matter is that it's there. he wants riley to know that this is mutual.
his free hand trails up his side, curling around to rest on the small of his back. ]
[ Well, he doesn't mind the change in position at all. With their hands locked, it's hard to care about shifts in power or roles. Riley only pulls that hand back up so he can kiss Steven's fingers, planting one for each digit. ]
You don't have to be, though it is part of your charm.
[ With a half-lidded gaze, he looks up to Steven, lips still tracing over his knuckle. His back does arch to Steven's touch, forcing him to shift a little closer. ]
[ wow. that definitely isn't as conservative as they had started out, and steven has to wonder if things are taking a turn back to where they were last night. the difference is that they're both sober and in control of their inhibitions this time, but how far will that take them exactly?
"however you like" paired with that half-lidded gaze sends a shiver to his core. even if he said that, steven has to ask. ]
You're being... incredibly suggestive, Riley. [ underststement, seeing as he's practically prostrating himself for him at this point. ] Am I misreading that?
[ His enigmatic smile turns mischievous at the question. It would be wrong to deny that he's working his charms, especially now that he's sober and in complete control of his actions. With his free hand, he runs his fingers through Steven's hair, making sure to trail his fingertips down to the nape of his neck. There's something graceful about small, subtle touches—it can drive a man insane. ]
Am I? [ Of course he is. ] All I'm doing is savoring your touch.
[ Retracting his hand, he takes a hold of Steven's with both, opening it up so he can nuzzle into it. ]
[ that mischievous smile is enough to tip steven off that everything that riley is doing now is no accident. his touches are definitely on their way to that insanity - the fingertips at his nape send a shiver down his spine, and that nuzzling gives him horrible ideas.
the hand at the small of his back spreads, trailing upwards. his heart is beating quickly again, but it's more out of excitement than nerves. ]
Actions speak louder than words. Remember what I said about taking responsibility for them?
[ He turns Steven's hand so he can plant another light kiss under his wrist. The muscles in his back tense as he feels the lingering sensation up his spine, almost craving for some kind of relief. With some quick readjustments, he moves closer to Steven until there's only a small gap between their lips. ]
How shall I take care of you?
[ Daring, he even tangles their legs and playfully rubs their ankles together. ]
[ all of the subtle touches work together to make something that can't be ignored, and steven can feel himself starting to get a little impatient. still, he keeps up with the pace of the moment and happily tangles their bodies together. ]
We have plenty of time to work that out.
[ he doesn't quite want to take a passive role in this, but riley is asking him a question... the least he can do is offer a proper answer. ]
But I think that kissing me again is a good place to start.
[ He plays with Steven's hair some more, making sure to curl it around a finger before he lets out a gentle chuckle. ]
As you wish.
[ Craning his neck forward, he grazes his lips against Steven's, strategically tilting his head so that their noses don't bump. It starts off chaste before he takes another step. He dares the edges of his mouth before gently biting on his bottom lip, sweet and playful. It comes with a thoughtful and reassuring squeeze of his hand, too. He wants to present himself as respectable even if his mind is plagued by the thoughts of of Steven's soft lips, the leaned muscles that build his body, and his smooth voice. ]
[ needless to say, riley's actions make him feel like he's going to melt. the slowness and sweetness of it all as he kisses back is addicting, but the funny thing about addiction is that you crave more after your first taste. with a few of those under steven's belt already, it isn't long before his imagination begins to drift.
with a squeeze to their interlocked hands, he untangles their legs enough for him to change their positions again, this time with steven on top of him. their held hands rest next to riley's head on the pillow, loose enough for him to let go without resistance but not parting himself just yet. ]
Will you indulge me?
[ it's a legitimate question, whispered as their kiss breaks. even with both of them bearing themselves as respectable gentlemen, he finds himself wanting to test how they can bend that conduct. ]
[ Riley is rolled onto his back with a familiar weight on top of it. This is feeling extremely familiar and stirs an intense primal desire. His hands rest free at different parts is the bed, but occupy themselves soon after. They cup Steven's face, holding him still so he can kiss him again right after his question. There's no kick to it just yet, instead he kisses the corner of Steven's eye before dipping into the crook of his neck, then trailing up to his ear. He makes sure to ghost over the outer shell with a heated whisper in return. ]
I can if you would be so audacious to command me.
[ Rather than an invitation to an authority role, it's more of a challenge. Riley, despite his default calm disposition, holds a strong competitive spirit. Those hands? They're occupied with running down Steven's back, one tracing down a thigh while the other indiscriminately caresses his rear. His lips form a rather complacent smile as he gives his hind a bold and possessive squeeze. ]
[ he has to stifle a small gasp that threatens to leave him as he feels riley's hands roam and touch him, but showing complacently right after being asked to be audacious isn't good form at all. he idly bites his lip, one arm propping himself up just above riley while the other traces his jawline and down his chest. ]
I think that's a fair trade-off.
[ he leans down to steal a kiss; it's both a validation of their agreement and a sign of appreciation. ]
Though if it's any consolation, you're doing wonderfully on your own.
[ Riley practically sinks into that kiss, pining after it like a plant thirsting for sunlight. It feels like the very path of Steven's hands leave a burning sensation, but it doesn't deter him at all. Instead he feels this flood of warmth in his chest as he looks at the man that caught his eye, practically purring from all this attention. He almost feels spoiled. ]
Thank you. I can only hope that my best is enough.
[ His hand spiders from his hind up his side and under his shirt, nesting there before massaging his waist with affection while hiking the fabric to expose bare skin. ]
I can't say I've had experience with a man before—something to keep note of.
[ even if riley had asked him to give commands, seeing him so receptive to each way he moves makes steven just want to spoil him. he's definitely seeing why he was so keen on inviting him back to his room in the first place.
he leans down, sighing gently at the feeling of his hands on him as he moves equally gentle kisses down riley's neck. there isn't too much that he can get at from his high collar, but it's a start. ]
Your confidence hides that inexperience well. You almost had me fooled.
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it if I was doing so well.
[ It's a little embarrassing now? Riley squirms a little to Steven's kisses, especially the ones running down his neck, indefinitely ending the purring. Praise his turtleneck for sparing him the sweet sensation of tingling skin. It'll have to be removed eventually and he plans on it, but it's difficult when he's on his back fiddling with the buttons of Steven's shirt. ]
I'm glad that you did. It means that I'll be all the more attentive.
[ whatever "this" is, steven wants it to be a pleasurable experience for him. he pulls away when he sees that riley's reactions have changed, opting instead to gently press their foreheads together. there's no need to rush. ]
Not necessarily.
[ depending on how comfortable they are with one another, they can bear themselves to each other completely... or bear nothing at all. ]
[ There's a thoughtful hum when he hears those words and notices the overarching tone. His fingers are still latched onto the bottom button, not yet undoing one let alone all of them. It makes him reconsider what's happening and decides that he may have been too eager, that he must have been blinded. There's an apologetic smile as their foreheads are pressed, only hanging onto the hem of his shirt as a piece of solace.
He has always been weak to sweet, subtle gestures like these. ]
I'm grateful for your attention and do want to apologize, but unfortunately I would like some compensation for the state and situation I'm in.
[ And so his hands lock onto the top button to undo it, giving Steven's neck more exposure. It's preparation for Riley to chomp on his neck like a brat throwing a fit over being seduced and swept up so easily—some playful retaliation to change the tides to something more comfortable for the both of them. ]
[ taking time to pause has steven pondering the same thing - hadn't he said only awhile ago that he wanted to get to know riley more, only to throw that aside for the potential of intimate contact? it's a little embarrassing (and hypocritical), but he keeps his reservations to himself for now. ]
--!
[ he was looking to question riley's desire for "compensation", but it doesn't look like he'll have the chance. the sudden bite has him letting out a small cry in both surprise and pain, but it doesn't deter him. he moves a hand to reflexively squeeze his arm, but he soon relaxes with a sigh and finds himself tilting his neck so that riley has a little more room to explore. though it's unintentional, he's arching into him a bit more as well. ]
Keep your marks below the collar...
[ it's said in a breathless tone, but it's need-to-know information. he can't just go around sporting hickeys, you know. ]
[ Some guilt and embarrassment almost settles... What kind of man throws a fit like this? It's immature and juvenile, but he's saved. First, that noise was cute. Not all too refined and regal, but still cute. Second, Steven's request catches him off-guard. He stops biting and chuckles into his neck instead, smiling ear to ear.
This is such a confusing dance... He wishes there was some guide to this. Despite that, he welcomes him with a hug, squeezing him fondly. ]
I don't think I've earned the right to do that. However—
[ He bites another area of his neck this time, closer to his throat. The next is on the opposite side. Then he holds Steven close so he can sink his teeth into the nape. There's no end to this abuse, but at least they're not harsh enough to leave marks. ]
[ hugs don't exactly go hand-in-hand with necking, but somehow riley's warm chuckle and continued ministrations make it work. even without a guide, he seems to be doing just fine on his own. there's a slightly warm, familiar feeling spreading through steven's body, but he isn't about to readily admit it - that's spoiling the fun.
even if they aren't leaving visible marks, the sensation on the most sensitive parts of his neck have steven biting his lip idly to avoid making any more embarrassing, overly-eager sounds. now he's really starting to wonder if riley was lying about his lack of experience, but doesn't vocalize it. ]
[ He... wasn't expecting any affirmation, but he's elated to hear that. It's hard to believe that he has found some kind of place in Steven's mind, but he has to accept it when it comes from the man himself. The biting assault comes to a full stop when he feels Steven's body tense.
That's enough teasing for the day. He has indulged himself quite enough with his silly antics, grateful to Steven's patience as usual. ]
We've lazed around for a long time now. Maybe we should be productive? [ He hums again as he tousles Steven's hair a bit. ] A date?
[ it seems like he's gotten a little too comfortable with things again, because steven finds himself letting out a breath he didn't even know he was holding when riley stops. it really has been too long if this is enough to rile him up... it's more than a little embarrassing, but no one needs to know that. ]
Have you been told before that you are an incredible tease?
[ he smiles and gives riley's temple a short kiss before they part. when they do, he finds himself running his fingers over the spots on his neck that were bitten. as promised there aren't any marks, but the sensation is echoing.
all the same, it's only made him want to spend time with this young man even more. ]
[ Arms now resting around Steven's waist, they're comfortable... As comfortable as two men can be sleeping in on their vacation. There's a small part of him that's scolding himself over this sloth, but it's fine. A date is promised!
That question earns Steven a hearty laugh. ]
No. I actually have not. Were you suffering? I'll be sure to make it up to you today.
[ There's an apologetic, but amused smile plastered on his lips. There's a hum as he ponders their destination. ]
How does participating in a double battle at the big stadium sound as a start?
[ He raises his eyebrows at that since it must mean Steven enjoyed it. What a strange thing to hear and forces his head to tilt to one side as he looks at him. ]
I could do it now if you had any groceries in the suite fridge of yours, but I'm assuming you don't.
