[ She sets a pattern, changes it, settles or speeds it up, and Carver just rides with her. He thinks of river tides and what it feels like to get swept up in someone else's wake - a sensation he hasn't felt with another person for a long time, or at least not without drugs to speed it all along. But there's something raw in the way she moves, honest, and Carver can admire that even as he drags his mouth against her shoulder and shudders under her. Falling away to the physical. He can feel her speeding up, the way her thighs clench. Proof that it's getting to her, that he's not the only one fighting for control.

Riley was like that, he thinks absently. Always reaching for something real, committing fully. Carver was always the one who held back. Afraid of losing control - ironic, really, when that's all he ever did out in the world. But that's not a good thought for right now and it slips away before it can become something, slips away into nothing and Carver squeezes her breast again before shifting to catch her chin in his hand and pulling her in for a rough kiss.

He's close, is the thing. But he'll hold. He'll hold as long as he can. ]

[ There’s no hesitation in what she does, in how she moves. She runs her nails down his chest, catching against old scars, and Carver makes a strangled noise as he grabs her hips to match her. He can feel her tense up, the control and then the moment it slips, and still she keeps going. She holds the pace and what can he do except follow suit? Earlier he might have balked at what she says, worried about the practicals, but condoms don’t seem to be a thing around here and she feels good around him in a way that very little does these days.

Carver runs his hands up and down her sides, bracing himself, bracing her, and just lets go. He’s quiet when he comes, muffing the sound against her shoulder. He runs his fingers along her back, tracing out the ridges of ink and scars alike, and just breathes.

For a moment, there are no words. No words at all. ]

[ It slows. It steadies, moment by moment, and Carver gets his breath back. He rests his head against her shoulder just to steady himself, running his fingers along her back. Finding and tracing tattoos in an absent sort of way, wondering vaguely whether they mean anything or if she just liked the shape of them. Wondering how she earned her scars. Some of them echo his own, a familiar toll of violence, and he wonders about that too. Her life and the shape it took before she ended up here, all the things he hasn't had a chance to ask or even wonder at.

She's strange. An enigma, in many ways. But she feels good right now and he likes how she feels on top of him, how she traces out the shape of a scar on his chest.

These things happen.

He squeezes her hip briefly, a fond gesture he wouldn't have made except for the endorphins, and lifts his head to watch her. She's relaxed now. They both are. And he feels settled in a way he very rarely does these days. ]

[ He puts a hand on her hip almost without thinking about, rubbing vaguely. It feels like the thing to do, even if he doesn't move to lie down next to her. He can't do that, can't let his guard down more than he already has. But for a moment, he just exhales and leaves his hand on her hip. Just for a moment.

Just for a moment, as the adrenaline fades.

It felt good. They didn't hurt each other.

Then he shakes himself. ]


I need to go.

[ He watches her for a moment, giving her hip a final squeeze, and then reaches for his clothes. It was a business transaction, to start. He's not certain what it is now, if anything. A moment, certainly. But she has a nice smile and she's relaxed, seemingly content and with no reason to be wary of him.

That's nice. It won't last, but it's nice. So it goes. ]
