It's been a couple of weeks. Tess has been impressed by how quickly Steven's adjusted. Still, idle hands...

Tess's came through the communication system to Steven. "Flash? Gym, please. Now."

"Not too much for this. In 1917, England was at war with both Germany and the Ottoman Empire, the latter of which was ruled by the Turks and included many different Arab tribes." She climbs into bed beside him, smiling. She knows he was looking. Blast it, that shouldn't feel so good, but it does. "The gentleman who dies in the credits is T.E. Lawrence. Excellent minimalist dialogue will fill in the rest for you, but pay attention to the funeral scene. You see them all later in interesting contexts."

He's pretty open in admiring her, and in taking in everything. Meanwhile, he's not particularly shy himself.

The only question comes in getting situated - so, given that its her movie, she's deciding how much attention they should be paying, and, at the moment, her comfort level, he just settles in as best he can and lets her situate herself.

"Ok, WWII was prominent enough in the minds of my parent that I'm aware of it... more than a lot of modern history. So Germany I get. I'll keep the rest in mind."

	An affirming sound as she curls an arm behind his back and nestles in with him. She pay close attention to the screen when there's talking, and nuzzles at him when there isn't any. Every once in a while, she recites very quietly along with the screen. " ' The Trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Much as he enjoys admiring her, there's a fascination with the movie as well. He can watch it, absorb it, and still feel her next to him, as he nestles back in with her. During one of the longer pauses, he even finds a leg somewhat twined with hers as he gets more and more comfortable with this situation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tess isn't, honestly, all that experienced, and when they get intertwined she shivers just slightly. As the screenplay dropped slightly by the wayside while the director showed off his love of sand dunes, Tess kissed at his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He turns towards her a little, to make the nuzzling and exploration of her hand more easily possible, while continuing to trace with his fingers, careful to quite where he goes - there is still a movie on and all, and he agreed to watch it... but he can certainly appreciate the snuggling, nuzzling an bit of mischief benefits in the meanwhile.

And her hand is running along his thighs by the time she suddenly looks up because the good part is back on.

"And here we have Sir Alec Guinness in a performance that belies the makeup," she said, trying to return her voice to normal, though she keeps her hand on him. "He always said Feisal was his favorite role, even though he's more famous in America for Star Wars."

	And after some fascinating character development and quiet heroism, the silence -- and the kissing, begin again. Tess's hand slides across his legs to curl around him...almost nervously, not that she'd ever admit it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah," she says softly. "There's a few things, eventually, that could be real... relaxing." Is she blushing again? Blast. She'd really been bad about that today, but then, it was quite a day. And ah, good. Saved by the dialogue, as Lawrence defied most people's concept of possible human endurence to save one of his men. "You know, the real Lawrence trained for stuff like that when he was really young. Practice fasts, high-stress hiking... He basically wanted to be an archaeologist and Achilles when he grew up."

	Don't think he doesn't notice the evasion, even if it was very well timed evasion. They can get back to that. "That's rather impressive... well, except in your family, where its probably called Tuesday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, yes, there is that." And there's more talk, as Lawrence rallies the different tribes, wins his first major battle, agonizes over the people he kills and the people he can't save, deals with racial issues, and Tess loves this movie, but she's beginning to look forward to the boring stare-at-the-sand-dune bits.

And, of course, they do eventually reach more sand dunes. This time, he's turning towards her, kissing her neck, nibbling lightly at her ear, and tracing small circles with lazy fingertips at her stomach.

Amidst the nuzzling and nibbling, he gets back to the question she evaded.

"What sort of things would you find so interesting and relaxing?"

And then there's more nibbling at her earlobe.

	"We should probably work on the basics before we get to the Advanced Relaxing stuff," she says, almost pouting as she squirms at her mouth against her ear.

"You do realize, moving a bit quicker than most is one of my specialties." he whispers back, breathing into her ear amidst the nibbling.

He loves that blush, that heat. This side of her few others see.

"And... I'm totally willing to start with the basics." he continues, teasing at her earlobe with breath, tongue, lips and light brushes of his teeth as he talks. "But I'd love to hear any and all ideas you have... for eventually."

He knows she's an exhibitionist, to a degree. He knows she likes this idea of being tied up. It doesn't surprise him that much to find that the girl who is so buttoned up and in control publicly would privately like someone else to take some of that control... and he does.

He captures her wrist in his hand. Not exactly hardcore bondage, but some sign of strength, control, and most importantly, restraint.

Much as he'd love to jump her right now, they also both had an agreement... and he wants to exercise some of this growing complexity in their new relationship.

"One, finishing what we started. We were going to watch the movie... and we should. But for the rest of it, as a brain exercise, when it slows down, I want you to tell me the things you picture me doing to you, in addition to watching you. After the movie, we can consider implementing some of the ideas... but whatever they are, however weird, kinky, personal... I'd love to hear your ideas. You have an amazing mind... I'd like to know what all is on it aside from business."
