The wait was almost more than he could bear. His hand was always on her somewhere--her shoulder, her back, her waist, her hip. He couldn't remember the last time he had been able to touch her so freely or so often. The last years together hadn't been all cold, but she hadn't welcomed his advances with nearly as much warmth or excitement. The drive to her home was over before it even began, and the ride up was punctuated with little squeezes and smiles and kisses. When she pulled the buttons of his shirt open he felt a rush, a thrill that almost made him feel young and new and fresh to the whole experience.<br/><br/>"The hotel wouldn't dare," he murmured. "Not with how much I paid for that damnable room." He waited for the click of the door to open and pushed in behind her, close against her as they entered the condo. The instant they were both inside he twisted and pressed her back against the door, his hands at her waist as the latch clicked loudly shut. "Hera," he breathed, nosing into her hair, along her ear and her jaw and her neck. The scent of her perfume was sweet in his nose, pomegranate and lilies mixed with the subtler spicy undertone of sandalwood. He pressed in closer before he could help himself and bit her neck, gentle but possessive. His hands clenched at her sides, tugging the sweater down further to expose more of the swell of her chest.<br/><br/>He withdrew and stepped backward a few paces, his eyes hungry on her form before he turned away to look at the place she called home. His hands lifted to his shirt and unfastened each button as he took it in, panting softly and licking his lips. "I like this place," he told her as he shrugged out of his jacket. He draped it over a hangar on the wall, then turned to her again, pacing back to her as he unbuttoned the last few inches of his shirt and pulled it out of his pants. He grasped the front of her sweater and tugged her in close, his hand releasing to smooth up her chest and collar and shoulder, then the side of her neck up to her jaw. "Show me the bedroom before I discard control entirely and we make a complete mess of your entry hall."
