Lucien chuckled in response to the bumped fist against his chest. He had noticed the faint blush on her face - it didn't matter that she was red-skinned, he watched her so often that he could tell. As usual, she didn't allow herself to be swayed for too long and retorted back. The elf shrugged with a lopsided smile drawn across his face. *"Well, I truly apologize that the case is such, my dear. I'd like to say I'll let you go if you wish and act like a gentleman. But, if I'm honest, holding you, controlling you... It gives me such pleasure that I'd rather be selfish. Although, judging by your smile..."* His eyes dropped onto her curved lips. *"... I don't think you exactly mind it. Let the people look all they want, so what?"* He raised his gaze again and inhaled sharply as her breath warmed his face. It was clear to see that it enticed him, although he did his best to control it.

Thankfully, she distracted him with another tease. He grunted nasally at her remark. *"Tsk. Try to break me, if you so wish. I might not compare in surviving damage physically, but you know nothing can keep me down for long mentally. Especially... When you're here."*
There it was, again. The same temptation. Her kind tone soothing him, her warmth tickling him alluringly. Without noticing, he had raised his chin a little - exposing more of his neck near her mouth and giving her more to play with. Despite his great mastery over emotions, Ikari was his weak spot. He gritted his teeth intensely, his jaw tightening in the process. The massage she gave him while nearing him even more, it all irritated him. Many intrusive thoughts invaded his mind, all related to him surrendering to his urges right there, on the street. Realizing what she had made him feel, he chuckled. *"I don't mind being this way, if it's pleasant to you. But your point only contributes to mine. I'm the stronger one, you're the hardier one - you're built to receive, and I to give."*

*"Ah, was I caught red-handed already? My, that was quick..."* He grinned. Gradually his grip on her tightened, his palms merging more with her body. His fingers would traverse her shape, still, caressing as much as was possible while grasping her in place. Whenever she curled up more into him, he helped by adjusting his arms and chest. She could feel Lucien's excited heartbeat. *"Naturally, if only a chat was my intention, we could have that right here. I don't remember ever hiding from you how much I'd like to see you without that villain in the way. Your armor, I mean, for it is an enemy of my satisfaction."* He smirked after the tease. *"And what better place to first experience the sight of it, but in the hot waters of a spring?"* The one who carried her seemed much more comfortable sharing his thoughts. Never had he spoken so openly about his feelings, not before her taunts at the very least.

Lucien hissed quietly as he sunk deep into the spring. The waters exhaled steam consistently, moistening the clear air in the area. Aside from the pool wrapped in rocks of various shapes, light grass and a wooden structure kept the two separated on the hill. The elf had paid in full for them to have the night for themselves, obviously not reserved when it came to spending for Ikari. Despite the building that surrounded them in the wide open area, no roof obscured the light blue sky from sharing its serenity with the two. *"Hot, hot, hot..."* The vampire muttered. Heat wasn't an experience one of his kind could ease into immediately, but eventually he relaxed. His equipment and odachi rested nearby - the two could never be too safe. Lucien spread his battle-hardened arms on the boulder that held his back. He breathed out slowly and audibly. His eyes were shut and his neck folded as he leaned his head back.

Feeling much more present and at ease, the man smirked and turned his gaze towards Ikari. She was yet to join him in the spring and was also hidden behind a wall. *"You've been back there for a quite a while. Did you get nervous now, all of a sudden?"* He teased.

"..I'm not nervous!" She'd hiss in response, stepping out from beyond the wall as she cast her gaze down at the steppe elf. Her crimson form was somewhat hidden by the steam that filled the air, although that wasn't to say it was particularly hard to make out how she generally looked. The oni was muscular and incredibly fit, though that wasn't to say she was entirely masculine. Muscle, while a large part of her weight, definitely wasn't all of it and the oni possessed more than her fair share of curves.

The demon strode over to the spring, a confident smirk present on her face as she lowered herself in besides the man, submerging to her chest in the water. She'd meet his tease with another, "At least I didn't take 5 minutes trying to lower myself in while hissing and complaining about how hot the water was. It's not even fire or the sun, it's not like it's going to actually hurt you, big baby." She'd move closer to the man as she spoke, a hand lightly caressing his face and pulling his head over to hers as she met him with a kiss, her free arm taking the time to massage his upper shoulders as she did so.

Assuming she was allowed too, she'd lightly pull away after a time. Her eye met his as she spoke, her tone filled with snark as she simply asked, "Did that make it better?"

Lucien chuckled at her remark, a smirk apparent on his face. It slowly dropped, however, as she came out. For the next few moments the elf was speechless, gawking the oni's shapes. There was not much else he could see, considering the mist in the way. He realized that he was essentially staring and turned away nervously. His urges were strong, yet he tried to remain composed. It became much harder to do so as she eased herself into the pool besides him - his gift of enhanced periphery served the opponent's purpose.

*"Hey, now, any form of hot is in out weaknesses list. Don't you see how weak I become around you?"* He shot back with his own flirt. *"I don't know about me being a big baby, but with all of this right next to me, I'm feeling like doing something related to 'bab—"* His any attempt to compose himself in the duel of teases was thrown out of the window as soon as their lips met. What had gradually been happening finally overcame him. His lavender scent began spreading - a hint of him freeing the vampiric urges inside him. From under the water, Ikari could feel the vampire's hands grasp her waist. Even in the spring, they maintained a certain level of cold that would perhaps agitate her. He pulled her against himself, not letting her escape the kiss for a while.

His hands slowly traversed her body down, not skipping even an inch, before they reached her thighs. He folded them and pushed her feet behind himself to wrap her legs around his hips. The elf pulled his lips away, his hand still savoring her frame. He chuckled once she asked her question. *"I don't know... This hot water, it's making me feel exhausted..."* The vampire leaned closer to her, eyes set on her neck. The charmer breathed into it softly, before his tongue teased it. *"I might need some blood to recover."* He whispered.

Lucien sunk his fangs deep into her neck. After a sudden sting, the sense of euphoria would follow. His breathing grew heavier and he closed his eyes. In the meantime he used his hands to massage her body - her back, chest and whatever else was in reach. Not only was he enjoying her after wishing to for so long, but he was also purposefully provoking her without holding back.
