Hey.

[The truth is, Buck is actually not very good at setting boundaries in the moment. She's talked about this in therapy, how she doesn't trust her own judgment about these things because, when it comes down to it, her judgment has actually been pretty awful. It's part of why the plan of action she'd come up with had included deciding where they are in advance, when her head's clearer.

She still has to breathe through the urge to say fuck it and ignore all that careful thinking she's done because she knows that's not a good idea.] I'm okay. Just, maybe we should back off a little for a sec?

( he gives her a small smile, gently rubbing at the ball of her shoulder. ) Whatever you need, baby.

( even if this is as far as they end up getting tonight, he's happy. just getting to touch her this much, to see her this much, is more than he thought he might get this soon. and, y'know, he's proud of her for acknowledging she needs a breather. )

[It's not that she'd expected him to react badly or anything - she's trusted him to have her back in much higher stakes situations than this - but his answer still settles something inside her. She climbs out of his lap but doesn't go far at all, just tucks herself into the warmth of his side. That way she can still be close to him without it feeling quite so sexual.]

( eddie lays back on the mattress, tucking one arm behind his head. the other he keeps around buck, palm curled around the ball of her shoulder. it's maybe a little awkward laying with his legs mostly hanging off the edge of the bed, but. it's nice, too. having her curled against him. he tilts his chin to he can kiss the crown of her head. )

[This is - it’s nice. Cozy, even if she still feels a bit bad about having put a halt to things for this. It’s stupid, having a gorgeous, mostly naked guy in her bed and she has to put on the breaks.] Sorry.

You have nothing to apologize for. ( no, really. this was always a possibility. ) We knew going into this that we've both got stuff to work through. You need to stop, we stop. No questions asked, no apology needed.

( eddie rubs at her upper arm in what he hopes is a soothing gesture. he doesn't want this to be something she stresses over. maybe tonight was a bust, but that doesn't mean they're never going to get there. though--he would still be happy to be with her even if they did end up never having sex. )

I don't think we have to stop for the rest of the night?

[Well. She hopes they don't have to stop for the rest of the night. It's not what she was thinking when she called for them to take a moment, even if now she feels sort of weird about it.]

( he kisses the top of her head again. ) Okay. Whenever you're ready, then.

( in the meantime, he's content to snuggle. though he knows buck is probably going to feel awkward about this, so... he gives her upper arm a small squeeze, then places his hand on her waist. )

... You're not ticklish, are you?

Not really?

[She tilts her head and narrows her eyes a little. Because if he's planning to do something that involves tickling, then they might be done with this for the night after all.] Why?

( he was absolutely going to see if she's ticklish. but that idea is going sailing out the window the second she gives him a look. )

Just wanted to make sure I didn't startle you. Your knee is kinda close to my dick.

Good call. [She might not be sure she believes him, but he does deserve acknowledgment for reading the room and immediately dropping the idea if that was the case.] Kneeing it by accident was absolutely not in the plans I had for your dick tonight.

( he laughs. ) Good! I really didn't want to have to put ice on my crotch tonight.

( see, they're all good. the sexy mood may be gone, but the night's not ruined. if she wants to pick things up again she can, but eddie's pretty sure she's not worrying about it right now. )

That'd probably make it the worst case of blue balls I've ever given someone.

[Because blue = cold = ice makes them cold? She's doing great at this.]

( oh, hey, what do you know, it's possible to laugh and wince at the same time. )

Oh, god. Don't make me think about frostbitten balls. ( his hard-on is already gone, you don't have to try and kill it more. )

[Yeah, that's. That's definitely not a sexy thought, he's right.]

Sorry. [She gives him an apologetic kiss on the cheek.]

I forgive you. ( but he is going to tilt her chin up so he can give her a proper kiss. )

Good.

[Because if he’s going to kiss her, then she’s going to twist around so she can lie on top of him and maybe start things up again.]

( oh! well. he's certainly not toing to protest that. in fact, he gets back into it pretty quick. hard not to when he can feel her pressed so close to him, all that skin on skin.

he tangles one hand in her hair, kissing her back enthusiastically. maybe nipping gently at her bottom lip. )

[Is she starting this up again too fast? Maybe. Who knows. She just knows that he was looking all gorgeous and his lips were on hers and she wanted to be closer to him again, wanted to have him under her.

She grins into the kiss before slipping her tongue past his lips. Maybe this wasn't too early. She's definitely feeling pretty good about it already.]

( any thoughts eddie had about making sure buck was good before they got back into this--hell, any thought in general--have all flown out of his head. he's too preoccupied with buck's breasts against his chest, her tongue in his mouth, and just how quickly all the blood in his body is flowing down south.

he palms her ass with one hand, pulling her against him just that little bit more. like if he holds on tight enough they might be able to eliminate all the space between their atoms, like nothing else is close enough. )

[And any worries that Buck had about having permanently ruined the mood for the night are pretty much gone now. It’s clear that, brief pause aside, Eddie’s very much ready to go again, and that does settle something in her chest.

It also kind of makes her want to push things a bit further now.] - So did you still want to be introduced to some of the Buckley Toy Collection?

( he's so caught up in the moment that, when she pulls back, eddie instinctively follows her for a second. and then the words she's saying sink in. )

Yeah, definitely. ( it's only a fantasy literally come to life. no big deal. )

Good.

[She has to climb off him and stretch a bit to reach the nightstand where said collection lives, but she's pretty confident that the view's fantastic and he's not gonna mind. The location of the Collection(TM) isn't hidden, exactly, but the drawer is kind of fancy and doesn't actually look like a drawer. It doesn't have a handle, it's just smooth wood that you press inwards to unlatch, and she might have picked this nightstand primarily because it makes her feel like she's a secret agent accessing a hidden compartment for secret documents or something.

After a second, she comes out with a blue rabbit vibrator and a bottle of lube. Given that she is definitely extremely wet at this point, she probably won't need the latter for herself, but it's there if Eddie needs it, too.]

( it is indeed a very nice view, and eddie is extremely appreciative. it's about to get even better, though, and he is very much ready for it. eventually, he'll probably snag the lube and make use of it, but for now he's just... stroking himself through the thin cotton of his boxer briefs as he watches her get situated.

though after a moment, he thinks better of it, and reaches out to hook a finger around the waistband of her panties. )

Off?

[Once she has what she wanted, she settles back in against his side because she can't exactly be on top of him for this part, but she still wants to be close.] Yeah.

[She was going to pull them off herself, but if he wants to help - she wriggles her hips a little, getting ready to make it easier on him to slide them off.]
