[She feels now a little like she does after they have sex. Eun realizes this now. This sort of intimate, affectionate way they are together is happening more and more before her release. It's a lovely sort of epiphany to have, which prompts Eun to turn in toward him. To kiss his cheek. To kiss his neck.]
Do you think this is how it is with most couples?
[Has she been missing out on this with boyfriends she could have had? Or does it feel like more, like something special, because it's him?]
[ Even though he does have the edge in terms of age and experience, there had only been maybe one or two instances that were even close to being what it was like with Eun.
Jae reaches to lace his fingers with hers and leans his head against her shoulder, kissing her neck as her lips travel across his body. ]
[Her chin tilts up as he moves to her neck, sighing audibly as she feels his lips against her skin.]
I'm going to say it's better with us. I'm feeling quite competitive.
[Closing her eyes, she draws a leg up over his knees, smiling at the feel of the silk under her skin. Her hand wanders down the front of his robe to his waist, and up the center of his body where it's not covered. Fingers trace familiar scar tissue as she nuzzles into him.]
[ Not that he sees bothered by that at all, further tangling their limbs together. Jae lets his fangs graze her neck briefly as he shivers. His chest has been a bit of a sensitive spot both physically and mentally, though the latter has been less of a problem now that it's been some time since the incident that gave him that particular scar. ]
And what do you think we should do about that, love?
[Eun is careful to lay still at the feel of Jae's fangs at her neck, enough to prevent any accidental biting he didn't intend, but perhaps not enough to hold back the shiver she feels as well. Her fingertips curl against his chest with their short, blunt fingernails, and Eun nuzzles in closer to him with a soft groan of contentedness. What a way to unwind.
And hearing him call her love--well, she definitely hasn't gotten tired of that. Not even a little.]
Keep being excellent together, definitely. [She turns her head to steal a kiss, all easy humor and confidence.] Maybe we figure out how to lean into everything more and make each other delirious.
[ What a way to unwind indeed. Jae licks against Eun's lips when she leans in for another kiss, his fingers tracing along the side of her face. It's easy, it's satisfying, and he can't help but let out a fond sigh. ]
You say that as if we don't drive each other crazy with want enough as it is. Not that I'd mind doing it more often.
Well, we do have plenty of time to explore those options.
[ Jae shuts his eyes as they rest foreheads against each other, his hand dropping to rest against Eun's shoulder, while the other slides down to her hip. ]
[Eun gently brushes the edge of his robe back to expose his side, and gently trails her fingertips up and down the length of that bared skin. She traces idle symbols and nonsense letters over him, savoring the peacefulness of this moment.]
I was considering taking a trip, come to think of it. I haven't gone on a real vacation in years, probably. Would you like to go away with me for a week or two, Jae?
I would love to. Do you have any ideas on where you want to go?
[ Not that he couldn't suggest some places, but he'd prefer to hear what Eun has to say first and then perhaps fine-tune a suggestion from there. IF the places she asks about are ones he's been to, of course. Worldwide travel, admittedly, was at least relatively new to him due to his previous experiences as a vampire forcing him to stay relatively landlocked. ]
[Her fingertips travel higher as she contemplates his question, not hurrying to answer. She's thought about the Where of course, but her list of options is still quite long.]
Paris. Italy. Morocco, perhaps. There are parts of China I'd like to visit, but I should go with my parents to visit family if I do. Maybe Hawaii? Or somewhere with a private beach.
[She grins then, pressing another kiss to his mouth.]
I wouldn't say no to Greece either, for that matter. But I don't have my heart set on one place yet. What do you think?
[ Jae hums into the kiss, nipping at Eun's lips before he responds. ]
Mm. If you really wanted to, I could set something up so we can visit multiple places at a time. But it might not give us enough time to enjoy everything.
[ Which was half the enjoyment of going to those places, at least in his mind. ]
[Eun considers his words for a moment, but the opportunity doesn't quite fit what she had in mind.]
I think I'd rather pick one place with you, and give ourselves time to enjoy it together. And each other.
[She hesitates a moment, mulling over the other thought that comes to her, wondering if she ought to say anything. Their knowledge of the probable future affects things, just a little, and they shape the way Eun thinks about their present more often than not.]
I...I really want to have an opportunity to make memories with you. Lots of them, before we catch up to our future. With you and with me.
[ Jae gives her a soft smile - at the very least they're on the same page in regards to enjoying their trip and their time together. He dips down to kiss her temple. ]
I want to make memories with you too, and enjoy our time together.
[Eun has been kissed by many before, and in many places, but she's coming to find that some of her favorite kisses are the ones that are soft and sweet and no where near sensitive places. Her temple. Her forehead. The top of her head. They're from Jae which makes them that much better.]
[Eun wouldn't say that she's the insecure sort, not with Jae, but neither is she afraid of asking when she needs or wants to hear confirmation of what she believes. That things are good with them still. That they both still want the same future.]
I don't have any regrets either. [Leaning in, she presses her lips to his.] But I like hearing you say that. Almost as much as I love what my life is like with you in that. Have I told you that lately?
[Eun grins. It's so easy with them. The push-and-pull comes second nature to them both. The banter without bickering. All of it. Eun tilts her head to one side, considering what she could say now. What could give him validation...]
Hm, are you saying you'd like your ego stroked more, Jae?
[ The way he smiles and raises an eyebrow clearly says that there's probably something else he'd like to have stroked, but he refrains from saying it out loud just yet to not ruin the mood. ]
[That little eyebrow lift doesn't go unnoticed, and Eun's smile deepens as she looks at him. Admires the intelligence and mischief in his eyes, the sharp line of his jaw and the way his robe lays open, draped over his shoulders.]
Why do I get the sense that you'd rather have a different kind of attention?
[Eun presses forward to steal the barest, softest kiss to his lips. Her hand, however, is far more firm, running from his shoulder down, down to his hip and then slipping closer still. She stops shy of running a hand over his cock through his pants, and pulls away from his mouth just far enough to give him a smile.]
Perhaps you'd rather I stroke something other than your ego?

I say that like someone who for once wasn't talking about sex, though I wouldn't say no to doing it more often either.
[Her forehead presses to his as she lets her fingertips draw away from his scar and instead along the natural lines of his body.]
But I was just thinking, I ought to see how to make you deliriously happy. Somehow.
