rain meme for
marriageable
( It's been a few weeks since he'd met Daphne trying to clear debris from the big storm that basically wrecked all of September and there's another storm coming down but at least this time it's rain and not sticky lorasses or something even more unpleasant. It's not the best weather but he's still glad he managed to get the roof and sides back onto his house before it came up; being outside in this is not his idea of a good time.
That's why he's incredibly confused when there's a blurry figure outside in this weather. There's a crack of lightning and he can see a little more clearly - it's Daphne, soaked through her sky-blue dress and her hair plastered to her head. He throws his door open and motions her inside. He had rebuilt his house a little bigger than he'd found it but it's still small so they'll be close but at least she'll be dry. )
Why are you walking around in this? You could have called or something.
( It's not said with admonishment or anything like that. Daphne's a grown woman and perfectly entitled to walk around in the rain if she wants to but she looks smaller, somehow, with all her clothes dripping with water. She doesn't even have a hat. Damn. )

You’re acting ghastly, you know. I don’t know what any of these words mean.
[ She thinks about it, though, and gives a small shake of her head. Simon has barely looked at her since she forced his hand into marriage. ]
Do you promise it’ll feel good?
no subject
( This, he's sincere about, because he wants Daphne to trust him. )
no subject
[ Thinking, she presses her lips to the tip of his nose, struck as she does that everything she’s done since she climbed into his lap has been unprecedented.
Everything here will be new to her.
She drops another kiss to his mouth. ]
Okay.

Once they're upstairs, he lays Daphne on the bed gently. )
You can tell me if you want to stop. That still applies, all right?

He touches at her underwear and they're damp from the rain, sure, but he thinks they're damp from want too. )
I'm gonna take these off. You're okay with that?
no subject
Quietly, closing her eyes, she lifts her hips to help. The cool air against her needy cunt makes her clench around nothing, wet and messy. Her heart races. ]
no subject
He kneels at the edge of the bed and slides his hands under her to pull her close to his mouth, her legs over his broad shoulders. He nuzzles her thigh before sliding his tongue against her in a first taste. She's perfect. )

James—
no subject
You're all right. I wouldn't do anything that feels bad, I promise.
( He dips his head again to taste her, slow so he doesn't worry her or make her feel afraid, and he reaches for her hand with his left to hold it. )
no subject
He promises.
She believes him.
The next slide of his tongue is slower, less of a shock; this time he gets her hips rising a little, pressing into his mouth. ]

He keeps sucking at her while moving his fingers, trying to get her to come and let go of all the tension he can feel strung up in her body. )
no subject
The building tension is familiar now; she knows what’s coming, and she lets it happen, panting harder, unable to take her eyes off him.
She stills quite suddenly, and tips over with a cry to punctuate her undoing, squeezing his fingers. ]
no subject
He doesn't lift his head until she's stopped trembling and when she does, he gently eases his fingers out. )
You're pretty perfect, Daphne Bridgerton. You know that?
no subject
She can only laugh, cheeks flush with dew. Her fingers stroke his hair. ] So I’ve been told. It’s hardly true.
no subject
( Her hand is in his hair and he rests against her thigh for a moment before gently shifting her legs off his shoulders so he can stand. She looks good in just his shirt and nothing else and Bucky wonders if he can just freeze this little moment in time. )
I think I'm overdressed for our party.
no subject
Languidly, Daphne rises to her elbows. She looks fairly fucked out already, especially with her hair down and air dried. ]
I am in agreement. You are terribly overdressed for the occasion. [ She’s not sure she could undress him if she tried, though, so she will simply watch. ]
no subject
Do you want to come help me maybe? I might have trouble getting undressed with such a gorgeous woman in the room.

( He's intending to get hers off as soon as he can, after all, so it's only fair. )
