Outside Milliways

It's a nice day outside, sunny and still but not too warm, and Kaidy has had a long and busy (though not entirely unproductive) week, so she's doing something she always finds calming: she has targets set up on the lawn outside the bar and is practising with her handgun.

She's not a bad shot but it doesn't come naturally to her, which means she has to concentrate. It used to frustrate her that not everything came easily, but these days - now that she's got the knack - she actually quite enjoys having to concentrate on something in order to get it right. It's an opportunity not to think, and the mechanical repetition - load, lift, aim, pause, fire - is oddly soothing.

So she's smiling to herself faintly, as the bullets march closer and closer to the bullseye.

Martin is somewhat poleaxed by Kaidy at the best of times, and this is definitely one of those times.

He leans and there is Kaidy's taste-smell in his mouth as the kiss deepens and her hands seem to be everywhere, sliding hot and fierce over his skin and he's not entirely sure how.

Her voice curls in his ears and his chest and it's beautiful and she's beautiful and wonderful. He clings on for dear life, pressing kiss after kiss against her lips, her cheeks, and he's pretty sure he kissed her eyebrow at one point, but it doesn't matter because it's Kaidy, and right now he'd really like to kiss her all over, eyebrows included.

He draws back for a second, breath shaking and looks at her, and he's pretty sure now is the right time for some statement or declaration, but he's equally sure that anything he says right now is going to be unintelligible gibberish because he's not entirely thinking with his brain. So instead he just looks, taking in how lucky he is, smiles, and presses back in for another kiss...

Martin's pretty sure he's making some very odd noises. He thinks he can hear himself breathing oddly, and there's a hitching gasp that he knows is him when her lips meet his throat. Mostly though he's focused on listening to Kaidy, trying to store up all the half-words and things she's breathing out more than she is saying.

She calls him Red and he's convinced that she means his skin. He can feel the heat fizzing below the surface, and he's sure he's lobster-red all over, but he doesn't care. One hand strokes gently across the softness of her stomach, curves around the rise of her hip and settles, fingertips just skimming the place where he knows there are words inked into her. He rather hopes to get a chance to find out what they say.

He recognises the word shower, but then she scrapes a circle around his nipple and fuck that sparks inside him, static lightning jumping between two points, and he sucks in a shock of air and loses the thread of her voice. He bites down hard on any noise that threatens to squeak out of him, and also on his bottom lip. The noise still escapes, curling through his treacherous throat. His lip isn't so lucky. His fingers squeeze at her hip, grip clenching for a moment, nails scraping across skin.

He ducks his head and presses his forehead against her shoulder. He gathers himself for a second before he attempts to speak.

"Shower?" He asks, grasping hold of the last intelligible word left in his brain.

The word 'want' falls from her lips and into his head, and yes, there's a lot of that going about just at the moment.

He tries to keep up with the hard kisses that are almost bites to his lips, but can't help having to gasp for air, it's as overwhelming as it is fantastic.

Martin's too busy to think, which is probably a good thing.

He leans into a kiss, pressing hard and trails it from frantic scrambling to an easy caress of lips. He draws back, breathing heavily.

"Yes." He nods. "Um. Shower, yes. Right." He kisses her again quickly, a graze of lips, just to show himself he still can. "I-" He's not really great with words right now. Sentences are entirely beyond him.

Oh now that is just unfair.

He can't help that he reacts to the 'Sir', it's built in. He can't help the flash of it across his brain, the hitch in his breath, or the slight reflex tightening of his grip for a second. He's not sure how noticeable it might be, but he's sort of stuck.

She kisses him again and he's drowning in them, drowning too in her words, spilling out of her lips to fall straight into his. So many in such a short time, he hardly has time to breath, no wonder he's gasping all over the place. Or something.

She tugs him by the hand and he follows off the bed, definitely not tripping over bedsheets at all, and he certainly isn't having issues walking. Difficulty or not, right now he'd follow her just about anywhere she wanted to lead him.

As they half-fall through the doorway into the bathroom, more touching than not, Martin concedes that maybe there is something to be said for him being almost the same height as Kaidy after all.

In an almost unprecedented moment of smoothness, Martin manages to kick the door shut behind them. He doesn't bother letting go of Kaidy for long enough to actually lock it, but he's a little too preoccupied to care.
