Trailing

[ozwolf]

So, tracking the girl isn't going that well. She was picked up by a blonde, and as far as I can tell, taken back to Wolfram and Hart. I didn't go waltzing into enemy territory alone to be positive, though. I'm stealthy, but I figure they have measures against that, especially since they seem to know that I'm around. I hit Lorne's again, and will

I'm standin' by my window after patrol. It's late, and I'm just lookin' out at the night, tracin' my fingers over the glass. The hotel is quiet; I dunno where everyone is. Didn't see a soul when I came in. Out of the corner of my eye I see my shoes and my stake where I just tossed 'em in the floor when I came in, but I decide to ignore them.

Didn't see her either. She's becomin' an obsession with me. Her with her dark eyes and her big mouth and her air of entitlement. I gotta find out who she is.

I head to Faith's room when I get back, her trail's always clear. I tap on the door, alterting her to my presence. "Hey." I say, voice a little quiet. It's late. I know there's a whole hotel here and people are kind of spread out, I'm not going to disturb anyone, but still.

[_faith_]

"Hey," I reply, my own voice soft, bracin' my shoulder against the wall next to the window as I turn to look at him. "What're you up to?"

[ozwolf]

"Promised I'd come see you when I got back." I say. "So...check it out. I'm back."

"I like you with all your organs intact," I say without thinkin' about it. Whoops, that sounded kinda suggestive, didn't it? In the past I would've said it deliberately intendin' to be, but I really didn't this time. I bite back a smirk. "Yeah, flat-out askin' won't work. We'll have to come up with some other way."

[ozwolf]

I give her the hint of a smirk at her first comment. "My organs are fine." I say. Then back to serious. "...I wonder if you wouldn't come with me to Caritas."

[_faith_]

No smart cracks, Faith. I'd kinda like to find that out for myself at some point, but I decide not to mention it. This prob'ly isn't the time.

"To Caritas? How come?"

I can't say I'm keen on it. I went before and sang for Lorne, and I didn't like how it made me feel. Vulnerable. Laid bare.

[ozwolf]

I just look at her. I don't really have to answer that. She can figure that out on her own, I have no doubts about her intelligence.

I love it when he kisses me first. Makes a girl feel wanted and all that, especially with him 'cause there's a lot of times when I still can't quite figure him out. Keeps things interestin', I guess. I kiss him back a little more assertively than I usually do, enjoyin' the closeness in the dark, silent twilight world of the Hyperion late at night.

[ozwolf]

I can deal with assertiveness, though one has to wonder if she'd ever sit back and let someone else take control. I suppose she's done that with me to an extent, even if it's just in the who's deciding which gear we're in in this relationship. So I kiss her back, letting it draw out for a while before I pull back from her. I don't let go, but I can see her face again.

[_faith_]

I smile at him, a faint one. This is totally different for me. Well, this whole thing with him has been. I mean, I know what I'd normally do after bein' kissed like that, but I've been pretty much lettin' him take the lead. I think that's what I need to do, with him.

I can feel the pulse hammerin' in my throat, and I lean forward enough to nuzzle his cheek.

[ozwolf]

I let her, and pull her in closer so I can lean in and nuzzle at her neck. Scenting, really, I guess. Either way it's nice, and she smells good. I trail kisses along her pulse, then rest my face there, in her neck and hair, breathing for a moment. Just being close.
