Shadow Steps (Closed for Asa)

[raiguy]

Ryan smiled then hugged her close before tilting her head up. He looked into her eyes and then said, "Tell me what you want."

 

[Asa]

I don't know beyond... this.

She tried again to get her mind and body to work together to kiss him and this time she did. He lips softly first.ding his as the overwhelming conflict within her whimpered into the kiss the sensations all so overwhelming to her

 

[raiguy]

Ryan wrapped his arms around her, holding her closer as he let her lead the kiss, not wanting to push her too far or too fast. The kiss completely surprised him, but he kissed back, letting his passion out finally.

 

[Asa]

Whimpering into the kiss she curled closer unconsciously from her fear and desire to bolt from her own home and him out of habit. She had to get past that she knew that and this was the only way.

 

[raiguy]

Ryan took it easy, gently wrapping his arms around Liria. He didn't want her to run away scared, but wanted her to feel safe and comfortable too as he gently rubbed her back, his other hand slowly sliding up to her cheek. He cupped her face softly, letting the kiss get a little bit more passionate as the fires inside him grew higher.

 

[Asa]

She whimpered slightly feeling the increasing passion in his kiss as well as the calming feeling of his hand rubbing her back she reached a hand to his cheek as well as one hand rested on his chest over his heart. Could this really be happening all those soldier born defenses were abandoning her slowly as they continued to kiss. Her body curling faintly closer towards him.

 

[raiguy]

Ryan slowly lost himself in the kiss, letting go of his inhibitions. His hands held her as close as possible, one running through her hair, the other still rubbing the small of her back as his lips continued to mold to hers, his tongue lightly tracing the contours of her lips now.

 

[Asa]

Her lips parted in almost a gasp at all the tender sensations and her own loss of her normal fears and need for distance. She curled closer to him letting all the affection and tenderness continue to destroy her defenses.

 

[raiguy]

Ryan gently broke the kiss, then kissed Liria softly on each cheek, then her nose, then her forehead before kissing her softly and gazing steadfastly into her eyes. He smiled gently at her, his hand gently running through her hair, his other hand holding her close, marveling at this woman he was madly in love with.

 

[Asa]

She smiled looking into his eyes. She didn't understand any of what she was feeling but she liked this feeling.

So... how do we do this?

 

[raiguy]

He smiled and took her hand, lacing his fingers through hers, hoping she didn't get scared.

"One step at a time," he said, kissing her softly, lovingly, on the lips, holding her close, letting her take the lead if she wanted to.

 

[Asa]

Her voice almost a whisper as she repeated what he said in an attempt to further convince herself

One step at a time.

Finding his lips on hers again she pressed into the kiss once more.

 

[raiguy]

He smiled against her lips, then slowly separated again. He looked at the clock and shook his head.

"Damn. You have to get ready for work or you'll be late. I don't want you getting in trouble," Ryan said, wishing she didn't have work today.

 

[Asa]

Oh... right...

Looking at the clock she cursed under her breath and quickly ran back into her room to get ready. Showering and quickly getting dressed ready to get back to her interviews and writing she had to keep working no matter what was going on around that job.

 

[raiguy]

Ryan waited until she was out of the shower then smiled as she hustled out. He stopped her then turned her around. "Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?" he asked. When she smiled, he pulled her close and kissed her deeply and passionately, breaking the kiss before he was ready. He stepped out of the door and then waited for Liria. When she locked up, he took her hand and walked with her to her car before kissing her again just as deeply. He looked into her eyes and smiled before kissing her forehead and then stepped back so she could go to work.

 

[Asa]

Dinner would be alright I don't know how long I will be working today but yeah.

So many kisses with him it was slowly growing comfortable and always welcome as she curled into each one and pressed back into each kiss tenderly. Was she falling... she wasn't sure but its not like she would really know if she was... Maybe she should call and talk to Garrett.

 

[raiguy]

Ryan smiled as he watched her drive to work. He wanted to keep being with her, but he knew she needed to work, and there were things he needed to do to get out of the business he was in. He had the skill set to do multiple jobs, but didn't know what all interested him. He set about to figure that out during the day while she worked, although his mind often wandered to her.

 

[Asa]

Dealing with the two interviews and then stopping by the base to talk to Garrett only to hear his almost gloating I told you so tone about it sounding like she was in love. It was a long day that had her mind bouncing back to Ryan and the kisses they shared.

 

[raiguy]

During the course of the day, Ryan figured out a few things he wanted to do. He smiled as he pulled up to Liria's apartment, he hoped he looked presentable in his shit with flowers. He knocked softly, hoping she was in.

 

[Asa]

She was home sitting on the couch her hair pulled up in a loose bun to keep it out of her face while she worked and relaxing in just a pair of sweats and a t shirt. Walking to the door she smiled seeing him.

Hello come on in.

 

[raiguy]

Ryan smiled, presenting the flowers as he stepped in. He smiled as he pulled his coat off, then hung it behind the door. He looked at her then pulled her in for a kiss, ending it by lightly running his tongue along her lips before finally breaking apart.

"God it's good to see you," he said.

 

[Asa]

Taking the flowers she smiled and softly pressed into the kiss.

You just saw me this morning

She smiled staring into his eyes. This was going to take some getting used to.

 

[raiguy]

He shrugged then looked at her, before saying, "I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss you or think about you throughout the day."

 

[Asa]

She smiled a little nodding.

Fair enough I thought about you too... Even went to talk to Garrett about all of this.

Turning and walking deeper into her apartment with the flowers wondering if she even had anything to put them in

 

[raiguy]

Ryan smiled as he followed Liria into her apartment, hoping to help her find a vase. He had one out in his truck, but didn't know if he should get it. When she found her vase, he smiled and offered to fill it up with water if she wanted to cut the stems.
