Stressful was an understatement. The danger of her most recent endeavors hadn’t quite faded yet. A painful scar across her palm wrapped in a bandage was still a bitter reminder of literally coming face to face with death. Somehow, she was spared that fate. It was a jarring awakening back to reality where her life hung in the balance each and every day. One day it was going to catch up to her, and luck wasn’t going to save her and Killian Decker.

It was a beautiful day, especially on top of the tall, Mauville building. The city was stretched out before them to enjoy along with their picnic. Her gaze moved from the view towards Killian when she heard his voice, “I don’t think we have, either,” she agreed, thinking hard on it for a moment. Goldenrod city didn’t have many “pretty” places for a picnic

The question prompted her to look at her bandaged hand. Lex flexed and curled her fingers, the dull pain turned sharp making her flinch slightly, “I liked the idea of being . . outside,” The last thing she wanted was to be stuck inside – trapped like on the submarine. The thought made her shudder before she settled onto the blanket, leaning back on her only good hand and resting the injured on her knee, “Gotta admit it’s nice,” her gaze moved from Killian and back out towards the view of the city.

Killian Decker

Killian caught her attention again when he moved to join her on the blanket. She would have been disappointed with anything less than being wrapped up in his arms. Lex was malleable to his touch, happily settling between his legs and leaning back against his chest. One hand rested on his thigh while the other gently traced lines across one of his arms. To Lex, there was nothing in the world better than his touch. The feeling was only emphasized by the lingering of the kiss he left on her cheek.

Lex nodded in agreement, smiling as the flower pokemon floated passed them on the breeze, “Oh really?” she mused, tilting her head to lean it against him, “That’d be nice if that was true” she grinned up at him. Just like Killian, Lex didn’t have an appreciation for superstitious nonsense, “They are pretty cute, though,” Lex could at least appreciate that as one waved towards them. She only smiled, not wanting to break away from Killian’s touch.

A subtle movement of her head brought his silhouette into view, “How’s your research going?” A broad question, but something Killian had been quite focused on in light of recent events. It had even been difficult to distract him which was something Lex was extraordinarily good at. Lex had been quite busy as well with Rocket increasing the frequency and number of jobs they tasked her with, including a quite big one coming up.

Difficult? Her lips pulled into a frown. That wasn’t what she was expecting. Killian always had tricks up his sleeve when it came to gathering information. She was painfully aware of the resources he left back in Johto in order to more here to be with here. He was forced to come with little, and they dare not go back. She felt helpless as to how much she could offer. She was certainly not as resourceful, but her connections in Hoenn, so far, had proved somewhat useful at least.

Lex found herself a little more comforted knowing that the introduction she had established with Gavin had helped somewhat. She nodded subtly, knowing that no one knew more about Shadow Pokemon than Gavin. She was glad she could be of some help.

Her discomfort quickly dissipated at the sensation of his hot breath on her ear. It was painfully clear Killian had other things on his mind. Lex certainly didn’t mind.

As paranoid as Lex always was, she didn’t miss the fact that the rooftop was empty. Familiar with Killian’s clever tactics, it didn’t come as a surprise either. She was happy for the privacy. She knew that they were safe, and they could wholly enjoy each other’s company without having to divide their attention.

Amber eye fluttered closed at his touch against her neck. The soft brush of his lips and gentle tug of his teeth against her skin made goosebumps swell down her arms. With the combination of the teasing touch against her hips, she thought she was nearly about to explode. Although she had felt it countless times, it never got old.

Fingers curled between his as Killian's hand moved into hers. Lex's other hand slid behind his head, curling her fingers into his hair to encourage the sensual movement down her neck. The way he moved brought his ear dangerously close to her lips. Lex couldn’t help but reach out to nibble lightly on his ear lobe, “What are you waiting for?” she whispered into his ear, lips brushing it gently before slowly moving down to place a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Killian Decker

Killian predictably shivered beneath the hot breath against his ear and the gentle brush of her lips. Years of practice had made them both masters when it came to their salacious games. Lex knew every inch of him with an unmatched intimacy others craved. She knew every little button, and what each one elicited. The combinations were endless which made it that much more fun.

Lex wasn’t the only one with tricks up her sleeve. Killian knew every inch of her as well as she knew him. The pressure of his teeth made her body tense beneath his embrace. A soft, involuntary gasp preceded her biting her own lip in an effort to contain her excitement.

The heat was rising, threatening to consume her with blind passion. It wasn’t a surprise Killian paused to keep it from her. A frustrating tactic, to say the least, but in the end the denial always seemed to make it that much more satisfying.

Cherry lips curled into a playful smile, her head shifting slightly in a subtle shake while he hovered so close. The mischief in his eyes was clear as day. This was one of his favorite games, and two could play at it. Lex wasn’t ready to give in quite yet.

A small move forward attempted to take his lower lip between her teeth, a slow, deliberate tug meant to be just as equally frustrating as the fingers lingering at her hips, “Come now, Killian,” she whispered once his lip slid between her teeth, “We both know I don’t beg,” which was only partially true. Press the right buttons and she’d sing like a Tailow.

E is for the Ecstasy

A lie? Or a well-crafted tease to provoke him into proving it? Her grin grew wicked at his words. “Promise?” Another enticing tease, but a useless question. She knew Killian wouldn’t disappoint – he never did.

His lips met hers in a kiss that quickly escalated into something more. Lex’s hunger for him was insatiable. As the intensity grew, she found herself growing less patient. The tantalizing pulls on her lip made her shudder as all self-control began to fade. Fingers coiled deeper into his curls, tugging in approval to match the increased pressure on her lip. The other hand that tightly held his moved to his thigh as he clutched at her top. Lex’s chest rose in anticipation with a sharp inhale.

The aggressive move simultaneously flung the last of her restraint off the roof. Her entire body spun to face him as she pressed into their kiss with vigor. She refused to wait any longer. Skilled hands moved to rest at his belt. A gentle tug loosened it and laid bare her intentions.

And that’s when the world around them faded, and all that existed was him.
