[attr="class","aria"]"eccentric, yes. freak? doubtful."

the change of heart is met with a grin. she nods, then rises to fetch them their drinks. she stops by quinn's side and places a gentle hand on his shoulder, encouraging.

"for the record, i think doctor riley suits you quite well."

An embarrassed flush crossed his cheeks as they placed the hand on his shoulder, offering a compliment on his behalf. “Thank you, Aria.” Perhaps she was right, he should take pride in the accomplishment.

Wait a minute, was this flirting?

[attr="class","aria"]her fingers brush along his shoulder as she steps away, parting.

she returns not long after with two glasses of whiskey, both neat. she stands by him and offers him one, then raises hers.

"to new partnerships."

“To new partnerships.” Quinn raised the glass in unison with their toast, a soft crimson still present on his cheeks. As he brought the glass to his lips, hazel eyes locked with her own amber for the first time.

They were pretty, how did he not notice before? Quinn took a drink of the liquor, sucking air in through his teeth at the bite.

[attr="class","aria"]amber eyes meet hazel, locking, and she holds her gaze until he finally parts. only then does she raise her glass to her lips. the familiar burn and warmth that accompanies it are both welcome.

"tell me more about yourself, quinn."

she almost hums her words as she leans against the desk. she crosses an arm under her chest, observing.

"any particular hobbies? interests?"

“Myself?” Quinn wasn’t used to being asked about himself, usually more about the project he was working on at the time. “Uhm, I like reading and swimming.” He’d take a moment to mull over the question once more, realizing exactly how uninteresting he was.

“I like movies, too.” Quinn was slightly embarrassed that he didn’t have much to offer, instead turning the conversation towards her. “How about you?”

[attr="class","aria"]though the turn in conversation is expected, she still hums, feigning a thought.

"my work keeps me occupied most of the time, but i like reading, too."

her finger traces along the rim of the glass.

"how often do you swim, quinn?"

Watching her circle the glass with a finger was mesmerizing, enough to almost miss her second question. “Pretty much every day, if I can. Usually in the river on Route 119.”

The glass raised to his lips once more, delighting in the numbing feeling that was beginning to overtake the sting. “Keeps me in shape, seeing as I sit at a computer all day.” A hand instinctively moved to his stomach, patting the lean muscles through his shirt.

[attr="class","aria"]"i don't think you'll get to go today."

it's a shame, really, but she's sure there are better cardio alternatives.

her eyes follows his hand down to his stomach, wondering.

"are you now?"

she sips, then lowers the drink as she leans closer. her gaze darts up, then back down.

"may i?"

Swimming was out of the question for today anyways, he was far too excited about the potential to track down a legendary Pokémon and far too naïve to understand what she was attempting to convey. “Oh, uhm...s-sure.”

Quinn moved his hand away as she leaned in closer, feeling the heat return to his cheeks as he allowed her access to his torso.

Quinn Riley likes this

[attr="class","aria"]she's gentle in the way she reaches her hand over, perhaps more careful than usual. fabric presses against skin as she places her hand on his stomach. she feels the firmness of his muscles, feels how his shirt outlines them, before she pulls away, hot.

"impressive."

    She places her hand against his midsection and feels a jolt of electricity surge through his body, utterly tantalized by her gentle touch. For a moment, his breath became caught in his chest, not daring to exhale until she pulled her fingers away. “Thanks…”

    Quinn stood up now, stepping close to Aria with a crimson clinging to his cheeks. As oblivious as he was when it came to romance, he couldn’t deny the signs were there. A hand was placed on each of her hips, drawing her gently into his body. “...I…”

    He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers suddenly, unable to resist the magnetic pull of her beauty and grace.

[attr="class","aria"]she peers up when he stands, trailing after his gaze even as she feels his hands on her hips. he's gentle and soft and kind. so she gives in, guided closer to his body. she presses against him, lips meeting his.

a hand runs up his back, brushes over his shoulders, before pulling his neck down for something a little more passionate. her lips part, hungry for his taste.

when she pulls away, she exhales softly, breathless.

There was a moment where time slowed to a crawl, delighting in her passionate embrace for as long as humanly possible before being forced to pull away. Breath was heavy as he looked into their eyes, conveying desire through his own.

“I don’t uhm...usually...do this…” A nervous chuckle escaped his lips as he assured her that this wasn't a common theme with him and colleagues, hands lingering on her waist for a moment before advancing upwards. Gentle fingers slid up towards the bottom button of her shirt, tugging either ends of the fabric to begin pulling them loose, one by one.
