[There is something happening here that is holding her interest far more readily than the image on the screen. She doesn't get the chance to turn her attention back to the movie because his lips are on hers again and that's all she can think about. Her fingers curl against his cheek and then stroke across it as she flattens her palm against his jaw, the tips of her fingers pressing in just slightly behind his ear and at the very top of his cheekbone.
Movie? What movie?
There might as well not be a movie on at all, because she's closing her eyes and parting her lips against his, shifting in closer to him.]
[ He smiles against her lips, exploring and pressing his tongue against them. He's asking for permission that he's certain that she'll grant. He supposes that there is a movie, but it's forgotten now. She's getting closer and he moves an arm around her waist, moving his hand to settle on the small of her back, pulling her in towards him.
He's certainly far more interested in this than he is anything.
He can't be certain exactly as to where this is going to go or what is going to happen here, but he doesn't really care. He is a simple man:
He likes Jane. He wants to be with her - close to her - in any way that he possibly can. She seems to want the same. He hopes she wants the same. ]
[There's only a moment of hesitation - shyness, more than anything - before that permission he's seeking is indeed granted. It's easy for her to go along with how he pulls her in towards him with the pressure of his hands at her back and she rests up against his chest, pushing the hand at his cheek up into his soft hair instead.
Her fingers play idly with the little 'wing' she finds there.
The fluttering in the pit of her stomach is far more of an encouragement than anything that might persuade her to stop. If there was any doubt that she had the same idea as Hypnos perhaps it would be dismissed by the way she so readily leans her entire body into him.]
[ He likes the feel of gentle fingers in his hair. The way she presses into him and gets close. She seems to be into what is happening, which is nice to know. They've kissed many times before this, of course. He's affectionate and he likes that she is affectionate with him, too.
She's so good. And she chose him. And he really never wants to ruin that. He's careful in each of his movements, every action is considered in a silent question before he does anything. He explores her mouth with his tongue.
His free hand settles on her cheek, fingers brushing delicately there. This is warm and nice and he doesn't want to let go. It wasn't why he had invited her over, but he's not disappointed by the turn of events, of course. His hand moves, brushing through her hair. He doesn't know if he's ever done that before - let his fingers get caught in the locks.
He's much more confident it is okay by the way she leans into him and seems to be getting comfortable there. He has one more bold question, so he'll reluctantly move from the kiss. ]
Do -- you want to stay the night?
[ Because regardless - having her close as he sleeps sounds amazing. ]
A couple of years ago she might have laughed, nervously perhaps, made some comment about how a lady shouldn't spend the night in the bed of a man she isn't married to... But times have changed - she has changed - and Jane no longer feels bound by the protocols and restraints of her time period and social class.
So she smiles, tilting her head into the sensation of fingers in her hair. He never has done that, though Jane has always been quite bold about pushing her hands into his own soft white curls. She likes it.]
I'd love to stay the night.
[As for what they get up to while she's staying the night... it does feel as if things are moving in a certain direction. Not a direction she minds in the slightest.]
[ He feels his heart flutter at her answer. He does have some idea as to where this is going, but he would want her here regardless of it. Waking up next to someone you care about is amazing and he wants to have that with Jane. He moves his hands to cup her cheeks and leans in to place another kiss on her lips. ]
I'm glad.
[ Truly, genuinely. It's not something he thought he'd get. If someone told him a year ago that he'd have something like this, he probably would have laughed it off and made a self-deprecating joke about how it's easy to wake up next to him - he sleeps everywhere. ]
Then I'm going to keep doing this.
[ The kisses, the gentle touches. Feeling her out and exploring gently. This time, when he kisses her, he moves in to deepen it within only a few moments. ]
[It's an exciting feeling, but she feels strangely calm about it too as she wraps her arms up around Hypnos and leans into the kiss as he urges it deeper. She keeps one hand in his hair while the other falls to the faint curve of his narrow hips and rests there.
What does she do next? She has to breathe, though, and when she does pull away to do just that she's flushed and her pupils are dilated, and she pinches her lower lip in between her teeth for a moment before she dares attempt to speak.]
[ It hadn't been why he had invited her over. It wasn't why he asked her to stay the night, either. But the thought of having that sort of intimacy with Jane - it's something he has thought that he'd want with her eventually. It's not that it's a big deal where he's from, being what he is, but he's also -- it's not like he's had many chances. And his family isn't exactly known for intimacy.
The question surprises him less than he thought it would. He simply blinks and moves a hand up to settle on her cheek, fingers shifting to move through her hair. ]
I'd really like to but --
[ He's serious - a rare moment where there's no jokes or teasing. ]
But only if you'd like to, too.
[ He doesn't want her to feel like that's where it has to go - not that he doubts her. She'd absolutely speak up if she doesn't want something. ]
Exciting, but also a little scary. It isn't as if the eventuality of this one day happening has never occurred to her but she could have never anticipated that the first time she would be in a position to want to do it, it would be with somebody like Hypnos.
She cups one hand against his cheek and looks up into his eyes, her cheeks flushed lightly pink and her heart fluttering in her chest.]
I think I'd like to. Or--... at least, I'd like to keep going.
[And see how far things could be taken. She trusts him to stop if she asks, no matter what they're doing at the time.]
[ He's glad for her answer, and she's right to give it as she does. He doesn't know how things will progress. Sometimes it just... happens, he understands. And he's glad he gets to experience this with Jane of all people. She's... something else. She's special and spectacular and he hopes he's made her feel that way so far. ]
We can see where it goes.
[ Don't make plans. Just see what happens. It's nice to know that at least she doesn't seem to object now, but he absolutely will stop should either of them decide it's not what they want. He's more than glad for that. He moves an arm, shifting it so that his hand settles on the small of her back, leaning over her. ]
I'm going to kiss you again. And again. And again. As many times as you could ask for.
