The Apartment Above Luke's, Thursday Evening

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy was still glowing from yesterday's museum trip with Anders and now tonight Dante was coming over for the evening, too. She appreciated the lengths they were going to make sure she didn't feel too lonely or lost while she was still adjusting to being back. She'd had a whole evening planned out as a thank you to Dante over it...

But then there had been puppies. She'd come in from her shower and decided to take a minute to refresh her Tumblr before drying off and getting dressed, and then she'd stumbled over a link for a pet adoption website that curated pictures of dogs that needed to be adopted from nearby shelters if you put in your zip code. Which Kathy, more fool her, had done.

And now was scrolling through picture after picture of adorable romping puppies and distinguished older dogs all looking for forever homes and who even knew what time it was anymore, there were puppies.

[For that guy]

"You've got such a thing about seeing me in the bathtub," Kathy said, chuckling. "Some secret fetish we need to discuss in explicit detail?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"I've got a thing about you and a vibe, getting off," Dante said, grinning. "The tub's got nothing to do with it."

[spin_kick_snap]

"You were interested in seeing me getting off under the faucet too," Kathy reminded. "Why all the interest in watching me get off without you?" Her dimples were deep grooves in her cheeks. "Are you going after Anders' lazy title?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"Maybe sometimes it's just nice to watch you feel good," Dante said. "Without having to, like, make it about me."

[spin_kick_snap]

"I never think you're making it about you," Kathy said, giving him a shy smile. "If anything, I see it as making it about us. But when you're watching, I'm usually getting off as much on that as the vibe - so it's at least a little bit about you, too."

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante laughed softly. "No matter what we do, we meet in the middle, huh?"

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy nodded. "Anytime you're involved, even peripherally, you make it that much more compelling than whatever I'd be doing on my own. Even after I come that way, it's just a precurser to how I'm gonna feel, wrapped around your dick."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Mmm, sex talk over fajitas," Dante said, grinning at her. "My favorite."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Liar," Kathy said, snickering. "I'm pretty sure you'd have chaste talk with pizza over sexy talk with fajitas any day."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Ehhh," Dante said, waggling his hand in the air. "These fajitas do have meat."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Of course," Kathy said promptly. "I only force vegetarian on you when you need to be punished."

[rebelseekspizza]

"You know, there's a lot of fun ways you can punish me, that is not one of 'em," Dante said, reaching for another fajita.

[spin_kick_snap]

"If I'm punishing you with vegetarian meals, I don't want it to be fun," she informed him airily.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Then don't do that," Dante said, gesturing at her with the fajita before he stuck one end into his mouth.

[spin_kick_snap]

"I haven't yet, have I?" Kathy pointed out. "I'm keeping it as the most potent weapon in my arsenal."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Don't even threaten with it. Pretty sure it counts as abuse," Dante said.

Because vegetables!

[spin_kick_snap]

"Yep," Kathy said, nodding. "I would probably be arrested if people knew I was threatening to make you eat healthy. They'd be like, 'She's trying to prevent a heart attack, that vicious harpy!'" Kathy did her best to look crestfallen. "How do you have the strength to deal with my tyrannical ways?"

It didn't come from nutrition, that was for sure.

[rebelseekspizza]

"It's probably all the sex," Dante mused, swallowing back another bite.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Oooh, so what I'm hearing is that I can get away with a lot of stuff so long as I keep fucking you but good?" Kathy clambered into his lap, straddling him and kissing his throat. It wasn't much of an attempt at seduction, they were both still eating after all. But sometimes she just had to climb on him like a jungle gym and collect kisses.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Eating, eating," Dante protested, but he held his arms up obligingly to let her on in.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Yeah, but fajitas not tacos, you tease," Kathy giggled, balancing her own plate on her lap while she snuggled into his chest and tucked herself against him.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Well, whose choice was that?" Dante said. "See, that's why puppies are dangerous."

He polished off the fajita fast, wrapping an arm around her when it came free.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Like kitties would have been any different," Kathy scoffed, dredging her fajita through a truly ridiculous amount of guacamole. "Besides, I got the fixings for dinner before I got entranced by the internet, so I can't properly blame them anyway."

[rebelseekspizza]

"But if you hadn't gotten swallowed by the internet, you coulda swallowed me for a quickie first," Dante said.

Ugh, they were running out of fajitas too fast.

[spin_kick_snap]

Was he worried about what came after fajitas?

"I mean, you could have distracted me with a quickie in the kitchen if you'd really wanted one," Kathy snorted. "But noooooo. You were staaaarving."
