After the Party
Anya entered the luxury suite her family always had reserved at the Four Seasons and went straight for the bar. She grabbed a glass and a bottle of vodka. She poured herself some and downed it one gulp. Her hands were shaking and she poured herself another glass and downed that one as well.

	He lets her do that, lifting a hand to pet her hair gently. "Its ok, let it out. I'm here for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya didn't say anything or move. She'd breakdown into tears if she did and she wasn't going to let that happen. He would win if she did. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He's pretty sure the tears were going to come sooner or later, but he's not going to force the issue either, just holding her and being a physical presence for now, until she indicates needing or wanting something else. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quite a long time later and no tears Anya pulled back a little. She had needed the contact and presence of another person since she didn't have a lab to get lost in. She gave him a kiss and put her forehead against his. "Thank you," she whispered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods, giving her a light squeeze. "Of course, hon. Let me know if there's something you need. I'm here for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My lab. A drink. But seeing how neither is probably good for me right now, you're already doing what I need by being here for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Both true, and you have a big day ahead of you tomorrow, and I know if you get into a lab, you'll disappear a while. I'm glad I was here though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am too," she said. Anya glanced at the clock. She had managed to sleep three hours. It would be good enough to get her through a day. "I think I'm going to watch a movie if it won't bother you if you want to go back to sleep." She gave him a small rueful smile. "I know everyone can't operate on three or four hours of sleep."

	He chuckles, disentangling himself and heading for the TV, getting Sneakers set up. Might not be his favorite, but he likes it, and he has a wild guess it might be something that'd play to her interests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya climbed out of the bed and went into the other room to grab a bottle of water for each of them. She returned to the bedroom and climbed back in the bed. The fact that Sneakers was coming on didn't escape her. She gave him a big smile and offered a bottle of water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes the water, then slides up to sit with his back to the headboard and leaving space for her to sit between his legs and lean back against him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya slid in between his legs and leaned back against him. His chest was hard muscle beneath her and it made her smile. She put her hand on a thigh and patted it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He reaches around, resting a hand on her stomach and otherwise just settles in comfortably, not at all seeming to mind the general familiarity. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her other hand came up to hold onto his. A smile crossed her face. The night had its ups and downs, but if this it were how to end she wouldn't complain much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gives her hand a squeeze, paying more attention to her than the movie, but glancing towards the TV enough to follow it, anyway. He seems quite content to just let her relax here as long as she likes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Anya returned the squeeze and tried to focus on the movie. She had seen it enough times to have the whole thing memorized so her mind started to wander.

She thought about the feel of his body against hers and the warmth it generated. Though the main focus was on him and being close to him. Was something happening or was this just a night of comfort between friends? She tried to not entertain thoughts on the former, but it was hard not to.

	There remains every sign that it might be something that can turn into something. He was firm on the idea that that night wasn't the time - a trauma of that degree is a terrible time to try and start anything meaningful, but he's still holding her, still kissed her back, however lightly, and has been happy enough to flirt.

	Whatever it was, or wasn't, there would be time during the next few days to figure out things. They would be spending quite a bit of time together and Anya would be able to figure out what was going on. But for now she concentrated on the movie and the feel of him against her.

	"Let me know if you want that massage at some point." he offers, a good twenty minutes later. "No hurry. If you're good now, I'll give you an i.o.u." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya smiled and sat up a little. "Now's fine." She let the nanties on the upper half of her body be reabsorbed leaving just her bra on from the waist up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That actually gets a pause, and an admiring gaze. That's... quite a sight. "Ok, though if you're really persuasive, you might be able to talk me into another one, sometime... maybe." he teases, reaching forward, resting his hands on her shoulders, working his fingers in gently, while doing most of the work with the tips of his thumbs, working in small circles as the juncture of her neck and shoulders.
