( pepper smiles and melts into his kiss. he makes it so easy to forget all the stressful stuff in her life and just enjoy the here and now. ) How about we stop by the park on the way to the museum… and then afterwards we can hit up the move rental place and pick out a little something to relax to. ( she is conveniently leaving out the skating rink, because, no, she can’t skate and she’s not looking to make a fool of herself. ) Oh, and along with the movie we can order some take out. Kind of sounds like the perfect evening to me, mm?
Any evening where I don't have to burn food is always perfect.
[ Note that Jim says 'burn'--he's absolutely hopeless in the kitchen. But he's smiling too, happy to murmur oh-so quietly against Pepper's lips as he tucks her properly against him. ]
We can sleep in, wake up late, go to the park after breakfast... or lunch, I'm not picky. [ He shifts to rest his cheek against Pepper's temple, relishing the simplicity of it all. ] But you know, with plans like that I definitely have to take shots of you with the camera. So don't be shy.
Or... [ and jim might be hopeless in the kitchen, but pepper's determined to change that. eventually. maybe. ] we could pick up a few things from the store and I could make you something special. [ since she seldom had time to cook, what with her busy schedule. ]
Oh, [ she hadn't even thought about that. sleeping in sounds absolutely amazing. her smile widens as snuggles that much closer, her hand coming to rest on his chest. ] Let's skip breakfast.
[ it's been a while since she's had time to wind down and relax, and it feels like it's been even longer since she's got to spend and evening ( let alone a whole day ) with jim. tomorrow, no matter what they do, is going to be perfect. his company is really all she needs. ] Only if you let me take a few shots of you too.
Definitely. [ A beat. ] I'll make sure to look extra handsome just for you.
[ And because Pepper is looking up at him like that and has his hand on him like that (or maybe Jim's just making excuses up in his head--either option is viable), he lets his hand slip a little towards the small of her back so he can kiss her.
There's just something about making Pepper happy. More than that, there's something pure about the excitement in the pretty blue of her eyes, so rare and exotic. Jim can't take it, so he always gives in: touches their lips together, fits their mouths, smiles because she's always so lovely. When he pulls back he brushes the tips of their noses together, that smile still nicely in place. ]
I know you’re not going to have to try all that hard. ( when his hand finds the small of her back she leans in that much closer, their noses brushing briefly as they share another kiss. )
( she hums, lips curving into a smile as she doesn’t move away and, instead, tries to coerce him into a few more. she can’t think of anywhere else she’d rather be. jim makes her happy and she hopes she makes him happy too. sometimes, though, she can’t help but worry about whether or not he’s going to continue tolerating her schedule. )
Let’s sleep in and skip breakfast. I get the feeling I’m going to be too tired to get up early… ( she snickers, trying to keep the blush that’s forming on her cheeks at bay. ) Sound good?
Sounds very good. [ Cupping her cheek with one hand, the other on her back strokes the tips of its fingers a little lower--teasing, subtle. ] You're so smart, Pepper.
[ But down Jim goes to kiss her once more. He didn't miss the way she leaned a little further, the way she seemed to be asking for more; honestly, if Jim can't say no to when Pepper looks at him, what more when she actively tries to get something out of him?
Jim sucks at her lower lip just as his fingers drift under the hem of her blouse, a pleasant hum in his throat. ]
( and pep is glad when he’s manages to catch the subtle hints and clues she’s dropping because they’re both awarded with a kiss. her fingers curl in the fabric of his shirt as she pulls him impossibly closer, her eyes becoming lidded as she lets a moan slip. )
Jim… ( it’s soft spoken, quiet, and just barely there as his hand slips beneath her blouse. pep shivers, breath hitching if but for a second as her gaze drops in between them. )
Let’s make tonight something special too. ( sinking into him she strings several kisses along his neck as her fingers slip in between the buttons of his shirt, working them open as best she can. )
'Special', huh... [ Jim's smiling as he says it, though, his heart beating a little quicker the more Pepper touches her lips to his neck. His own hand slips higher up her blouse, and with his middle finger he puts enough pressure to trace her spine and all the little knobs there. ] How're we supposed to go about doing that?
[ The moment Pepper's got her mouth off him he brings a hand in her hair, fingers curling in just enough to pull her head up for another kiss. Where his hand is on her back he brings it around to trace over her stomach, and then a little higher towards the edge of her bra. ]
Mm. [ she hums in response as she feels the beat of his heart pick up its pace. her lips continue their descend downward, stopping only as she reaches his collar bone, because, it's at that time, that he runs his finger along her spine. a gasp leaves her lips, the warm puff of air hitting his skin as she presses infinitely closer. ] I can think of a few ways...
[ she sits up to make it that much easier for their lips to meet again and it's hard not to smile behind the kiss. she's so glad she's got jim. he's like the light at the end of the tunnel... something she can always count on to keep her going and make her happy. ] It looks like you've got a few ideas too.
If that's you telling me I'm allowed to get this blouse off of you, [ Jim emphasises his comma with a kiss ] then thank God for psychic Pepper.
[ He's grinning, though, and now it's Jim's turn to fumble with the tiny buttons she's got. Such one-handed endeavours used to be so difficult for him, but since dating a woman who wears a lot of them, Jim's learned to adapt.
It's fantastic because it lets him cup Pepper's face--lets Jim feel for himself how the muscles there move when she smiles, when her lips part as his knuckles slowly, gently stroke up her bare stomach. Jim sighs a little bit himself; it's always such a gift to be able to touch her. ]
[ she's about to respond when their lips meet for another brief kiss. for a moment pepper loses her train of thought, but his comment has her chuckling not even a minute later as she dips her head. ] I wish I was psychic, but... no, just call it intuition. [ leaning in she sets her forehead to his. ] Besides, I know you can read me just as well as I can read you.
[ as soon as he's finished undoing the buttons of her blouse she shrugs it over her shoulders and presses closer, because the sudden burst of cold air has her shivering. her fingers continue to move in between them, finishing the work on his own shirt as she snuggles into the crook of his neck. ] I swear I could stay like this forever.
