[for Adaline; April]
Krem made sure that he had enough time to get home and shower before Adaline would be coming over. He didn't know, really, if she would be baking bread at his place as well, but he wanted to at least have enough time for that. It was a day he had off work, but he'd been at the gym anyway, which meant he'd gone harder than necessary, which meant he needed the shower even more than ever if he was going to have her over.
He was probably acting a damn fool about this. But it was worth making a good second impression. Just in case the first impression was just the wine talking.
Of course, since the lemon cake was a process, it still left him idling as he waited for Adaline to show up. He double checked that he'd texted her the proper building and apartment number, that he hadn't come across rudely. He tidied a little. He took off the cat's collar, just so she wouldn't spook Adaline--after all, there was no reason to assume Adaline would be able to see a ghost cat, like Krem could, so a floating collar would be awful strange. And then, he simply waited between steps of making the cake, as patiently as he possibly could, trying not to be nervous the whole time.

He leaned up and kissed her, sweetly, giving her side a squeeze before he trailed out of the bedroom and left her with the decision of whether or not she'd put any of her clothes back on or not.

"You're wearing slightly more than I am," points out Adaline, watching his ass in his briefs as he walks away from her. She lies on the bed for another moment, her blonde hair tousled across the pillow. Eventually, though, she does push up off the bed. She has a gauzy scarf in her purse; she slips it around her hips like a sarong which doesn't hide things so much as obscure.
"That cake smells incredible," she says, stepping out into the lounge, stretching bare arms up over her head.

He finished dressing the cake and sliced it into equal portions, bringing her a plate with slice and fork. "Coffee or tea? More wine? I should check the lamb, probably."

"We're eating in reverse," she says, teasing as she slides into a chair at the table. "More wine I think, please." She picks up her fork and takes a bite of the cake. Her eyelashes flutter. "If I hadn't already let you see me naked, I definitely would now."
no subject
"Are you really complaining about doing this in reverse?"
no subject
Once he was settled, Adaline lifts long bare legs and slides her feet in his lap while she eats her cake.
"I'm not complaining about anything," she says, her mouth quirking into a smirk as she reaches for her wineglass. "Would I?"
no subject
"You certainly don't seem like you have much room to complain at this point. Cake and wine and all that."
no subject
She'd really only slid her feet in his lap to maintain that sense of contact but she's not going to complain when he starts rubbing her feet with strong fingers.
"Cake. Wine. Company." She smiles. "Nothing to complain about."

"Perfectly acceptable so far," she says, enjoying a pleasurable little shiver as his hand slides over her skin. "The cake is definitely helping." She laughs a little, her hair slipping forward to curtain the curve of one bare breast.

"Definitely had my compliments," she says, chewing another bite of her cake, enjoying the zest of it on her tongue. She caught her hair back and combed it with her fingers, gathering the whole fall of it over one shoulder. It does very little to disguise her nakedness.
no subject
He didn't think he'd ever let himself think quite so filthily about someone before. It was rather nice, in its own ways, even if he found himself getting a little embarrassed as well.
no subject
He blushes; Adaline notices it when she looks up. One eyebrow raises and she sets down her fork, and lifts her wine, smiling a little against the edge of the glass. It really is delicious; she catches herself wondering what it might taste like splashed on skin.
"What?"

no subject
Adaline smiles wider, moving her foot so that her toes brush against the bare skin over his ribs.
"Now I just want to know what you were imagining that made you blush like that."
no subject
"...I suppose I could combine the ideas."
no subject
"I'll allow you to maintain a sense of mystery," says Adaline, swallowing the last little bit of her wine and setting down her class. She leans back in her chair, arms folded loosely across her chest. "But I'm very difficult to surprise."

Adaline bites her lip when he guides her foot into place, pressed snug against the fabric of his briefs. She uncrosses her arms, twisting her hair up into a knot on the back of her head before she lets it all spills down again.
"I can accept that," she says.
no subject
When he'd finally finished his cake and wine, he gently pushed the plate aside, then let up his hand from her foot. He crooked his finger at her a little, calling her toward him.
no subject
While she's flexible, Adaline takes her foot down before she slides out of her chair, the fabric of her scarf whispering around her bare thighs as she slips into his lap instead, curling her arm around his neck.
"Had enough respite?"
no subject
no subject
Adaline tips her head back, giving him all of the room that he could want to move. The fabric around her hips slips lower and she bites her lip at the warm, broad touch of Krem's hand.
