I’m not sure if it counts as sex if we’re not together?
[Oh, it’s so easy to tell that he’s blushing, the same way it’s easy to tell that her smirk has widened.] Unless you’re trying to tell me you called for phone sex.
( you know, eddie's kind of proud of them. for having this conversation and being honest. go them. )
I want more than that too. ( he pauses, then laughs a little sheepishly. ) Probably shouldn't say more right now though. Maybe tomorrow night? We could do dinner first.
Are you buying me dinner so we can talk about having sex or…? [That teasing tone is in her voice again.] Cause I gotta know if I need to break out the fancy underwear.
[When she asked for them to move slow in the sex department, she hadn’t anticipated that it could be end up entertaining just talking and teasing each other about it? So that’s cool.]
( she makes it easy and fun to talk about sex. which is a wholly novel experience for eddie, honestly. but he's digging it. more than he thought he would. )
I want to take you home after dinner. I want to see the nice underwear, if you'll let me. I want to touch you.
[This is probably what Dr. Copeland meant when she said sex can be fun and not necessarily tangled up in all kinds of past trauma and shitty feelings.]
You know what, Diaz, I’m thinking I like your chances.
( truthfully, eddie's a little nervous going into their date. it's been a while since he's, you know. planned sex. but it's nice to be on the same page? to know they're working towards this together. and it'd be a lie to say that the anticipation doesn't add something to the night.
he leans into it, once they're set up on the couple of plush blankets he put down in the bed of his truck. as they talk and eat, he gently skims touches up and down the lengths of her legs. every chance he gets to kiss her, he takes. by the end of the night, when they're walking up to the front door of her loft, eddie feels a little like he's on fire.
as she gets her keys out, he tugs her curls over one shoulder so he can press an open-mouthed kiss to the side of her neck. lips still against her skin, he asks, ) Did you think of something you want?
[Buck spent - well, more time than she's maybe willing to admit to thinking about this. She'd even briefly considered an emergency session with Dr. Copeland, but she ended up mostly just staring at herself in the mirror and asking herself how far she trusts herself to go with Eddie. Because that's sort of the problem? She wants pretty much everything with Eddie. She just doesn't trust herself to have it and not somehow ruin the relationship over it.
Which is why she decided on what she thinks she wants to try tonight before she even saw him, because it's harder to think about reasons why she can't just rip his pants off and ride him in his truck when he has his lips on her skin. She hadn't really thought of the sundress she'd thrown on for their date as particularly sexy (cute, yes, but not sexy), but Jesus, he is testing her resolve with the way he uses the skin it bares as an excuse to keep touching her.]
I was thinking - [She breathes past a flash of nerves.] I'd like to see you get yourself off?
( oh. that's--not something he thought she might ask. the request has him freezing for a split second before he shivers a little at her back. the thought of showing off for her is at once daunting and incredibly hot. he's not sure how good it'll actually be, but-- )
Yeah. ( his voice goes a little hoarse. ) Yeah, I can do that.
( he waits until they're in her loft, door firmly closed behind them, to continue with both talking and teasing her. he leans in to kiss her slow and sweet like molasses. )
Just me, or...? ( is she also going to be getting herself off? and does she want a hand with that? )
Yeah? [For a moment, she's worried that this is - too weird? Not something he'd be comfortable? Actually a terrible idea now that she's said it out loud? But the way his voice changes when he says yes makes her feel more confident that he's into it, just. Probably not expecting that to be the first thing out of her mouth.
She shivers into the kiss and leans into him, her arms slipping into place around him.] Not just you. Unless you wanted it to be...?
No, I want to see you too. ( he ducks his head and laughs quietly. ) I kinda haven't been able to stop thinking about you saying you have a sex toy budget.
( he may or may not have thought about that multiple times since she's said it. it's kind of an arresting mental image. )
