Sage hummed happily when she moved to kiss him again, kissing her back and then sort of moving to trail kisses down her cheek and neck, moving down to pepper her collar bone area with light pecks. If she was responsive enough, there would be no harm in a small spat together, if you could call it that. But...it had been a while before they'd had any time to do anything like this ....so he figured it would be nice.

A grin tugged at her lips as he kissed her back, her heart racing with each soft press of his lips against her skin. She couldn't resist, her legs instinctively wrapping around his side, her neck arching to give him more space. Her hands slid from his back into his hair, pulling him closer. They were still just playing around, but suddenly she was just struck with... well... him. Sage. She felt her grin grow, a happy sort of chuckle escaping her as she pressed her collar into him a little more.

(Pre warning that I'm gonna be gone for a couple of days!)

(you're good! Thanks for the heads-up:) )

Sage chuckled softly as the girl pressed against him, his heart speeding up at the small movements. It all really was so nice....knowing she loved and trusted him enough to along with whatever seemed to happen. He knew it would probably just be a small, slow something...but that was ok. That was what the night had been. Slow. Comfortable. It was nice.

(Nws - heading back for Christmas and it's a pain lol)

Mari couldn't help her stupid grin when she heard his chuckle. It was so odd. Something like this, something so simple could make her heart leap. Could make her jump up and down with joy at his very touch. Her hands found their way to his belt loops gently tugging him in. They hadn't really done anything - but they'd spent the last few days just... messing around. She wouldn't be disappointed if things went a little further, she could admit that.

(lol yeah same here. Five hour drive later today to get home from uni)

Sage felt his grin widen when he felt Mari tug him in. Good....it meant she was more than happy to do whatever. He knew if she didn't want to do something she'd have told him by now, of course, but the small gesture did let him know she was receptive. She was enjoying herself. His fingers sort of wandered around after a few moments, sort of just loosening the strings to her dress, nuzzling his way in to find more skin, still just peppering kisses all over her wherever he could reach.

(Feel you. Got a flight tomorrow back to DC, eight hours long)

The woman felt her chest bounce briefly when he tried to move her dress to the side, and honestly didint waste any time slipping out of it. It was still playful, still light... though she found herself anticipating. Her brow pinched together, and sort of gently wrapped her fingers around the base of his neck and pulled him away. She quickly leaned forwards to peck his lips before flopping back, her head slightly cocked. "Sage," she started, her tone curious but admittedly a little amused. "Surprise me," she finished, the comment was clear... and while they were playing around like this, she didn't see the harm in it.

(oof. Yeah, I'm glad to be home for a while but getting there and back is a pain xD)

Sage felt his grin widen when the girl slipped her dress off, though at her comment he paused what he was doing to cock his head at her slightly before kissing her lips again lightly with a chuckle. "Alright then," he sort of hummed, moving to work at unbuttoning his own shirt and such.

It's always a nightmare 😭 hope you got home all safe!)

Mari gave a little grin when the man went to peck her lips, though soon enough flopped back against the bed, and found that her eyes were just... watching him. She'd seen him hundreds of times, had a map of his body burned into her mind and yet... she was still in awe every time she saw him. After a moment or two, she sort of tried to help him pull his own clothes off with a childish grin across her face.

(yeah xD. Hope you have a good travel too!)

Sage sort of cocked his head at her as he worked at his buttons, an amused grin playing across his face as he noted her just...watching. Soon enough though, she'd moved to help him, and he let her tug off his belt and such before sliding out of his pants and then settling back above her happily
