The House In Limbo City, Limbo City, Wednesday Evening

[spin_kick_snap]

It had been ten days since the kids had left and Kathy was mostly back to normal. The fact that it was the end of the semester had probably helped a bit in that regard - it was possible to be maudlin and to study your ass off, but it took a lot more energy than Kathy really had to spare.

Her immediate plans for the evening - more studying, finals started on Monday - had been immediately derailed when Dante had declared it a night off, carrying her downstairs to a pillow pile, made from what looked to be every pillow in the damn house. As if that wasn't dirty enough, he plied her with a mixing bowl full of ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel sauce, a similar-sized sundae for him on the other side of the nest.

Ice cream, blankets, pillows, and boyfriend. The perfect recipe to get rid of post-kid and pre-finals blues.

"When it works for me," Dante laughed. He glanced down. "How bad is it?"

[spin_kick_snap]

Ugh. Making her sit up again and look.

"Not bad," she said, tracing a few sections. "I'm gonna have to redo some, but mostly only the scales."

Beat.

"Not sorry."

Fucking him had been worth it.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Not asking you to be sorry," Dante said, grinning. "Asking you to fix it."

[spin_kick_snap]

"So bossy," Kathy teased, uncapping the marker and rolling over to focus on his abs again. She leaned down to nip the smooth skin there before setting to refix the smeared lines. "I can erase some of the smudged stuff with alcohol."

Beat.

"Rubbing alcohol, don't worry."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Good, 'cause we're almost out of the nice vodka," Dante laughed.

By which he meant the odiously sweet strawberry stuff, obviously.

[spin_kick_snap]

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Kathy sniffed. "We have plenty of the good stuff still."

She most emphatically did not mean the strawberry stuff.

...Of which more was on the way, because she was a sap for things that made Dante smile.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Nuh uh," Dante said, poking her in the arm.

Lazily.

[spin_kick_snap]

"You're gonna make me smudge more and it'll be your own fault," she informed him.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante stuck out his tongue. "Maybe you should be more precise or something."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Or, maybe you shouldn't poke me in the arm when I'm drawing," Kathy said. "And put the tongue back before I make you use it again."

Mmm.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante snickered. "Gonna make me give you head for an hour again?" he teased.

[spin_kick_snap]

"I didn't make you, you volunteered," Kathy reminded him.

...With a shiver which also didn't help her draw a straight line.

"Fuck that was good though."

Look, now you got her thinking about it.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante grinned. "You better think it was good, or I reaaally fucked up my game somewhere along the line," he said, reaching up to brush his knuckles against her cheek.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy nuzzled his hard. "Nah, you still got it," she said, voice gone a little husky.

As he very well knew. He'd had her whimpering and writhing and begging the whole time. Fuck, her sheets had been soaked by the time he'd crawled out from between her legs.

"The skills and the patience to wreck me completely."

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante chuckled, low but soft, and dropped his hand.

He followed with a kiss, instead.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy couldn't complain about that. She even managed to put the cap back on the marker before Dante made her forget about everything.

Which he did with a fair bit of regularity.

[rebelseekspizza]

That had been kinda the idea for this whole thing today, Kat. Weren't thinking about exams now, were you?

Dante's fingers slid into her hair. For all the dirty talk just seconds ago, he kept it gentle.

[spin_kick_snap]

And hadn't been for over an hour now!

What a good boyfriend. "Mmm," she sighed, pressing upwards a bit to get closer to him.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante chuckled, pulling her into his arms. "You can fix the drawing later."

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy went willingly, wrapping her arms around him and pressing her body against his. "I mean...if I'm already gonna have to fix it..." she teased, wrapping a leg around his waist as well.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante laughed, running his fingers down her back. "Make out a little while?" he murmured.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Yes please," Kathy said, looking at him, face soft. She was hard-pressed to think of a time she didn't want to lay about and make out with Dante. "You think you can kiss me breathless?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"I think there's only one way to find out," Dante teased, and kissed her again.

[spin_kick_snap]

And if at first he didn't succeed...

Kathy was willing to spend the rest of the afternoon on this, if they needed. She licked up into his mouth and sighed happily.
