Cassiel's beach house

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 1:59 am

((((after the office)))))

Jubilee walked in and tossed her purse down. "I'm going to take a shower." she said, one of the first things she'd said since they'd left the office.

"All right," Cassiel said easily, with the same 'everything is great' attitude he'd been silently wearing since leaving the office. He set down his briefcase on the table and waved a hand vaguely at the television, turning the news on.

"Or, y'know, we could have sex first. If you're interested."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:09 am

"Quite the generous offer there," he said dryly. "Almost sounded like you wanted to."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:14 am

"Sorry, but I'm not in the mood for another round of 'I get teased past my limits, while you sit there and say no', thank you very much." Jubilee replied "If you want to do it, we'll do it, if you don't we won't. I got the message. So, tell me when you're ready."

"Excuse me, but what do you expect when you start coming on to me at the office?" he said, glancing back at her. "I told you... the school is one thing. I can't get away with that here."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:22 am

"And I was teasing." Jubilee snapped "Not that I wouldn't have taken you up on it, but I wasn't totally serious, right up until the point where you decided to get me all worked up. And then, when I suggested that we leave, you got all pissy."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:23 am

"You didn't suggest it, you pretty much demanded it. 'Or else.'"

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:26 am

"You'd gotten me to the point where I was about to jump you." Jubilee pointed out "Also, getting teased with no hope of relief is kind of annoying."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:32 am

Cassiel shrugged. "Lots of ways around that. I mean, really, I was ready to leave with you until the attitude started."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:34 am

"You sure as hell didn't seem like that." Jubilee shot back "It seemed like you weren't interested, I wasn't going to push it."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:39 am

"Yes, I'm pushing your pleasure points, but I'm not interested," Cassiel mused, rolling his eyes. "And when you made it clear you'd rather just go take care of matters yourself instead of 'deal with' me, I decided I should stop imposing."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:40 am

"That wasn't remotely what I meant." Jubilee said, rolling her eyes.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:46 am

"But it sounded that way. Which was why I asked to make sure, and the answers were oh-so-helpful."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:47 am

"I said please." Jubilee pointed out "I just couldn't take any more games right then."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:54 am

"And I would've called off early if it'd seemed like you really wanted me to," he said, shrugging. "I'm holding you up from your shower, though, I think."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 2:56 am

"I don't have to take a shower right away." Jubilee said, coming close to him and wrapping her arms around his neck.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:04 am

"Mmmm... now you want me?" he mused, turning his head to glance back at her.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:09 am

"Yes, I do." Jubilee said, resting her head on his shoulder.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:10 am

He chuckled slightly, reaching back to run his hand through her hair. "Then go get in the shower," he said coolly.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:11 am

"Ok." Jubilee said, giving him a little kiss on the cheek before she headed upstairs.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:13 am

Cassiel waited, counting to twenty, before he got up, heading upstairs himself at an easy pace.

((Quite a while later))

Cassiel, out of breath and looking more than a little dazed, carried Jubilee from the shower toward the bed. A couple quick telekinetic passes over their bodies left them no longer dripping wet so much as damp. With a great effort of self-control, he carefully lay her down and lay down next to her instead of just flopping the both of them down.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:56 am

"God, do I love you." Jubilee said, snuggling against him.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 3:58 am

"I love you too," he murmured back, giving the sheet a lazy yank up over them. "Let's not have that particular spat again, shall we?"

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:05 am

"That sounds like an excellent idea." Jubilee agreed happily.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:12 am

"Good," he whispered, kissing her forehead and pulling her close, a little tighter than usual.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:14 am

"Whats wrong?" Jubilee asked, after a moment "It was just a stupid fight."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:16 am

He nodded quietly. "It was," he agreed. "It's just... unbalanced me a bit."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:18 am

"Sorry." Jubilee said "I wish it was easier for you to see my mind."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:20 am

He shook his head. "No, that's all right. It's a bit nice to have a little surprise in the relationship. It's just... well, complicated, I guess."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:21 am

"I'm listening." Jubilee said, snuggling against him tenderly.

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:28 am

He chuckled slightly. "It's... confusing to have my power, at the level I've developed it to," he said. "There are a lot of walls that it brings down, and a lot of lines that it blurs. A lot of people define themselves by what they feel on various things... I can't do that. Too much chaos, too many other feelings in my head for me to use that to keep things straight. So I have to use other things to keep my head ordered. Sometimes, I have to use what I am to people and what they are to me to keep straight what I feel, instead of the other way around like a lot of people would. It's like a shield of faith... the more certain I keep my mind, the easier it is to keep ahold of myself."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:32 am

"That makes sense." Jubilee replied "And when I don't react as you'd expect,it messes with that certainty?"

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:36 am

"Not on everything," he was quick to correct. "Just... if it gives me any doubts about who or what I am to you."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:41 am

"You're my love." Jubilee replied "I might get annoyed with you, but thats not going to change the fact that I love you, and I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm sorry if I made you doubt that, even for a second."

by **Michael Asters** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 4:44 am

"I'll learn, don't worry," he said, leaning in and kissing her nose lightly. "It's not something I want to put on you... It's not a responsibility anyone should have to carry all the time."

by **Jubilation Lee** » Mon Mar 22, 2010 12:02 pm

"Did you miss the part where I love you?" Jubilee asked "That means that you are my responsibility."

by **Michael Asters** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 12:57 am

"This is a bit above and beyond the call of duty, though," he admitted, pulling her on top of him as they talked.

by **Jubilation Lee** » Tue Mar 23, 2010 1:26 am

"Why do you say so?"
