[Later, or another time when she wasn't being distracted by him kissing her collarbone, Alex would say that both could be true (and that both were true) but instead she just breathlessly said:]
[Okay, that little sigh is slightly more frustrated, and she bites her lip for a moment in order to try and come up with something more intellectually stimulating.]
There's... There's a difference between acting nice and being nice, anyway.

no subject
Date: 2018-09-07 03:12 am (UTC)[And Alex is just going to close her eyes and moan softly again, because god damn it, Richard.]
If they're under the age of like sixteen.

Date: 2018-09-07 03:16 am (UTC)[Richard remains completely composed, choosing strategically where to attack next.]
no subject
Date: 2018-09-07 03:19 am (UTC)[Okay, that laugh is way weaker than it would be, and she let out a tiny whimper.]
Besides, he had scotch.
no subject
Date: 2018-09-07 03:21 am (UTC)[This is what you get for trying to argue with him with your shirt off, Alex.]
no subject
Date: 2018-09-07 03:28 am (UTC)It wasn't [another whimper.] niceness. It was asshole comradery.
no subject
Date: 2018-09-08 05:06 am (UTC)That seems more like splitting hairs.
no subject
Date: 2018-09-08 05:12 am (UTC)[Yeah, that's it, that's all she can get out.]
no subject
Date: 2018-09-08 05:21 am (UTC)[He's enjoying breaking her argument far too much.]
That's hardly an argument.

no subject
Date: 2018-09-10 04:50 am (UTC)[He'll just pay more attention to this spot right here.]
Everyone wants something based on how they're perceived. Being nice is just another way to gain what you want.
[He'll refrain from mentioning that Alex is the exception to that comment.]
no subject
Date: 2018-09-10 06:35 pm (UTC)[Damn it, why is this so hard to think right now?
Oh right, partner and mouth and not thinking.
It honestly isn't fair how easily he can wind her up like this.
Still, Alex does manage, in between soft moans:]
I'm not nice to just get what I want.
no subject
Date: 2018-09-13 05:17 am (UTC)[He'll just find that shoulder right there and focus on that.]

Most people are nice because of niceness!
no subject
Date: 2018-09-14 04:48 am (UTC)[That may have been a bite]
no subject
Date: 2018-09-14 04:54 am (UTC)I give up, I cannot engage in an intellectual debate with you like this.
[Nope, she's not flushed and breathless, not at all.]
no subject
Date: 2018-09-15 02:20 am (UTC)Oh?
no subject
Date: 2018-09-15 02:37 am (UTC)Your control is better than mine, is that what you want to hear, my love?
no subject
Date: 2018-09-15 02:59 am (UTC)Mmm.
no subject
Date: 2018-09-15 03:16 am (UTC)As if that was ever in any doubt.
no subject
Date: 2018-09-15 03:59 am (UTC)[Except that Richard wasn't being very eloquent anymore. Just focusing on kissing Alex.]
no subject
Date: 2018-09-15 04:21 am (UTC)And she's just going to keep kissing him back.]
