Lily Leaving Later

Lily gave a wistful sigh as Valyn guessed at how much trouble her girls could be. She felt like equal parts agent, mother, and big sister at times; though the ratio did change depending on the situation. Then there was keeping Anne out from between her legs... Her lips parted to respond to his statement, but words were lost as his lips intervened. Eyes slipping closed Lily gave a soft and contented moan. Instinctively she pressed her body against him, and had she more strength might have pushed him to the wall. Breaking the kiss she stared up at him with a soft and familiarly warm look in her eyes, "C'mon, dessert is waiting."

Hugging firmly onto his arm Lily would guide him away, towards the ascending stairs that lead to her apartment above.

Valyn looked into those beautiful warm eyes of her and nodded his head. He took in a few breaths, as she guided him towards the stairs, smiling all the more as she kept a tight grip on his arm. He looked to Lily his eyes studying her as they walked, admiring her and how beautiful she was. He tried to think of something else to say but his brain was not coming up with anything. So he settled into a content happy silence just being next to her as they headed to the stairs.

In spite of her exhaustion Lily managed the single flight of stairs without much difficulty. She wasn't really sure what she was doing or where this was going, much like their last encounter. Approaching the door to her apartment, a similar looking affair to that of her fighters, she paused. Her head hung down slightly in thought before she dug out her keys and unlocked the handle.

Pushing open the door revealed a studio apartment barely used. It was dominated by a large futon opposite a modestly sized television. There were no decorations, no other seating, and just enough lighting to make the place passable at night. The only thing hung on the walls was a mirror above a small table by the door, clearly for final checks before heading out. "Valyn... are you okay with being friends. With, ya know, benefits?" Her voice was heavy with contrition and she didn't lift her eyes to meet his.

Valyn scanned the room as he walked in, noticing the bare bones of the place. Another wave of wanting to get her out of this place washed over him. Still she said she was getting ready to move them out of this place and he hoped it was soon.  He looked to her noticing her demeanor though what she said surprised him.

He heard the tone in her voice and reached over cupping her chin lifting it so she had to look at him. "Is...is that what you want Lily? Be honest with me here, about what you are thinking...and what you are feeling. " His tone was steady and even though a multitude of emotions seemed just beneath the surface.

As he lifted her chin Lily struggled to adopt a sad smile, her gaze meeting his somewhat mournfully. Reaching up she wrapped her small hand around his, lifting it up to brush her lips against his palm. "You're sweet, Val... Probably the nicest guy I've met since moving here. But relationships... they don't really mix well with the erotic side of this place. Too easy for people to get hurt." She could tell at a glance how he felt about her, and that made this all the more difficult. But how could she even maintain a boyfriend when her job could have her riding someone else's pole tomorrow?

He knew she was right with what she was saying, this place didn't make things easy for true relationships. In the end trying for something more could end up with just hurt feelings and sour thoughts. The knot in his stomach twisted more, it had been a long time since genuine feelings existed like this and the right thing was to put them on hold....He kissed her lips, he kissed then hard and passionately his body pressed into hers his hard chest pressing against her supple breasts. He'd break the kiss but keep his lips close to her. "You are right....I know that, but I want to see were this goes Lily. I know the nature of this place, but I'm willing to push aside logic with you and see if we can make this something more. So...yea there you go."

She waited for his reply with bated breath, uncertain of how he would react to her assessment of the situation. First and foremost she was a woman, but just second to that she was a business woman. Well, maybe second she was a bit of a nympho, but just after that she was a woman of business and sound decision making was key. A soft moan rose up from her breast as he pulled her close and their lips met again, this time more vigorously. She let her arms slip around his neck, hanging her weight upon his shoulders.

When the kiss was broken and Valyn had finally said his piece it was Lily's turn for thoughtful silence. Her trembling breath rolled past moist lips still less than an inch from his. "And you'll be okay with... the things ha- the things I do?" She almost said 'have to do', but she didn't have to do them... she enjoyed them. It was a part of who and what she was. Even if she didn't enjoy every act she performed she enjoyed being that girl.

He nods as he keeps his eyes on her his breath intermingled with hers. "Yes, I will be. It's just part of who you are and I'll accept every part of you." He slid his arms around her waist as his chest went up and down with each breath he took his lips brushing lightly against hers.

Time would tell just how long this would last. Lily feared hurting Valyn with her indiscretion just as much as she feared her compassion would effect her decision making. "We- We'll take it slow. Learn what to expect..." Her dark eyes showed her doubts and reservations, but she still smiled weakly. "Come on, have a seat on the futon... I'll get us some ice cream..." It had been ages since she'd bothered with relationships and frankly she wasn't sure if she would know what to do with one, but she was going to find out it seemed.

It was a start, a slow start but a start. He didn't have any idea were this would go and what would happen but that was fine. It had been years since his last relationship, it had ended right before he got recruited. After that, his life was never the same and having any type of personal relationship wasn't feasible.

He nods giving her a warm smile, his eyes full of warmth and compassion as if to offset her doubts. He gave her lips a light kiss again before sliding his arms from her waist. "Yea ice cream sounds really good right now." His hand would squeeze one of hers affectionately before he headed over to the futon.
