Finding a Reason (Private, Lani Obliv, Mature)

Lani: She blushed further, but reached over, placing a hand on the back of Claire's head and bringing her in for a gentle, forgiving kiss. "You've gotta live a little, babe." Jazz shot her a wink. "Just promise you'll keep me safe?"

Claire blushed, but gave a firm nod and an affectionate smile. "I-I will... A-And promise you'll keep me wild?"

Jasmine grinned wide, winking at the girl. "So wild you won't know what to do with yourself."

Behind them, Antonio was rolling his eyes, reading instructions and cooking more food than the three of us could probably manage on their own.

Claire blushed, but gave her a quick kiss, smiling to to herself. She turned her attention to the movie as the opening credits began to roll, her grip on Jazz tightening some.

Jasmine smiled back at her before returning her attention forward, leaning her head against Claire's shoulder.

Claire leaned her head on Jazz's head, her cheeks taking a permanent rosy tinge as she cuddled with Jazz.

They remained like that for a long while, a new couple just relaxing and trying to enjoy the adrenaline rush that was Kill Bill Volume 1. It was strange how watching such violence and tragedy didn't seem to harm them as much as either would have thought. There were no flashbacks, no bouts of anger. Both of them just seemed completely detached, two spectators watching behind the lens.

After a time, Jasmine moved to partially sit up, leaning against the back of the fort with her arm draped across Claire's shoulders when the other girl moved. Her fingers toyed with the strap at her girlfriend's shoulder, absent-mindedly, and unfocused, her attention on the screen, her head leaning against Claire's.

Claire's cheeks flushed a bit darker as she felt her girlfriend's hand press against the strap of of her top. She bit her lower lip for just a moment, focusing in on the movie if only to distract herself from her hand for a moment.

Jasmine spent several minutes like this, not even aware of what she was doing, until she looked away from the tv, wincing at one of the battle scenes. She was more than a little thankful for being a ranged weapon, and offered Claire a bit of a sheepish smile, cheeks flushed at her embarrassment over being squeamish.

Claire smiled at her, giving her a brief nuzzle and wrapping her hand around hers. Her other arm squeezed her closer, a bit mischievously.

Jasmine's brow raised as she watched her, eyes pointedly shifting from the girl's hands to her face. She said not a word, merely allowing the slight action to speak for her.

Claire leaned in, giving her a gentle kiss just as the scene in the final fight in the snow garden began. She squeezed her hand and her side, smiling into the brief kiss.

A slight smirk tugged at her lips as her fingers danced along the girl's shoulder, letting the strap slide down Claire's arm. Her free hand reached back, burying itself in the girl's hair as she held her, intensifying the kiss, teasing with her lips, tongue, and teeth.

Claire's cheeks became a swath of red, yet still she pressed on, her tongue lightly pressing against Jazzy's lips. She felt the strap slide part ways down her arm, and felt a surge of panic, but she let it pass, confident in the pillow fort and Jazzy's arms. She wrapped her arms around her, squeezing her tighter.

Jasmine didn't push any further than she already had, lips parting to allow Claire to explore and play as she wished. Her own face was burning but she didn't care, merely kissing and holding her girlfriend.

Claire's tongue slowly slipped between her lips, finding Jazzy's tongue and tentatively playing with it. She rolled onto her back, pulling Jazz with her, forgetting about the movie for the time being and simply enjoying their kiss.

Lani: Jasmine let out a soft gasp as they fell to the pillows, bracing herself with one hand wile the other tangled in Claire's Hair, lightly pulling. She continued to let the girl lead, however, merely wishing to see just how far her wild Angel would go.

Claire's hand pressed almost roughly into her back, and the longer the kiss held, the more confident she seemed to become with her tongue. Her hands started drifting down her back, finally resting on and squeezing her hips.

Lani: Her girlfriend giggled behind their lips, flicking her tongue in and out of the girl's mouth, teasing, testing.

Claire gasped softly, giving a sudden squeeze to her hips, before flicking her tongue back, gently hitting Jazz's.

Lani: Jasmine giggled again, a sound barely picked up by Tony, who was rolling his eyes and plating the food. Her tongue retreated back, beckoning Claire close as Jasmine began to rise off of her, slowly, tauntingly drawing away.

Claire followed, releasing her hips but almost desperate for more. Her eyes were lidded, and her breath came in soft pants. Her cheeks and the top of her chest were a soft red, and she neglected to fix the strap that Jazz had pulled down.

Lani: Jasmine let her eyes open as she watched the girl drawing closer, and stopped almost suddenly. Tony was at the side of the tent, tapping one of the chairs that held it up before coming around. Jasmine rolled away, sitting up and straightening her clothes.

Claire paused for a moment, then quickly pulled the strap back up, running her hands down the front of her top to dispel any sort of overly disheveled appearance. She cleared her throat softly. "Y-Yeah?"

Lani: Antonio chuckled, walking around and kneeling to offer them each a plate. On it was a homemade plate of shrimp linguine alfredo, along with a collection of broccoli, just about the only vegetable Jasmine would eat. She smiled at him, albeit nervously, and took her own plate with a bow of her head. "And what will you have to drink, my ladies?"
