Fourth Times The Charm

[Cyril Kingsley]

Cyril had been finally been invited over to Reid's place for their fourth date. Their fourth! The first had been amazing and the second was the whole restaurant style, followed by the third being out on the lake sitting in a boat together. Each date had been amazing from Cyril’s perspective and it was not just because there was a lot of kissing and being close to one another. It was a little bit difficult at first with how his mind would wonder into the gutter and wants more by when the third date rolled around he felt like his 'dog' side was a lot more under control. Even in the days between since their first date he had made sure to drop of scones at her work place once he found it. Thankfully he didn't have to get arrested to find the place and the directions he was given were spot on. Reid had helped him get the lay of the town as well so thankfully when she described where she lived he didn't get too lost. Even if he had left his place hours before just to make sure that he had enough time in case he did get lost.

Still he found the place in time and waited to be on time before he showed up at her door to spend what he figured would be yet another wonderful date with Reid. He was slightly surprised that they had as many dates as they did but it was all good cause that meant she was not getting bored with him. She even made dinner and while he was expecting like 'the famous American woman’s cooking' that some friends back home told him about, he was shocked to be dinning on cheesy ramen. It was something he never had before but he didn't complain, said thanks and made sure to eat every last bite of it. His parents may have had bad dealings with one another but his mother had been good on teaching him manners and it was important not to waste what was made for you. Plus he brought scones as well so he had that to fall back on just to be safe and Reid loved them so it was win-win.

Now that dinner was done they were settling down for a movie that Reid had suggested and Cyril was more than happy to agree to. It had been a while since he had time to just sit down with someone and watch a movie. Plus it meant that they were not just having dinner and then saying goodnight. They could at least sit really close, probably kiss a little, and enjoy a movie. "May I ask what is it that we watching love?" Cyril asked as he headed to the room that he had been directed to, wearing socks around the house after leaving his shoes at the door. He was wearing something on the more relaxed side. Blue jeans, blue shirt, and a navy-ish jacket. You would think his favorite color would be blue but it was blue and red, so half right.

Outfit Reference

[Reid Chase]

Outfit Reference

Reid wasn't the greatest cook. Her bachelorhood had been filled with instant ramen, order-ins and food carts along the street. Occasionally, she'd microwave her dinner or bake pasta but most of the time, she lazed it up.

She wasn't proud of it but she figured, if she was going to be alone for a long time, she might as well live like it. So instant everything it was.

By now, she thought she knew Cyril well enough to know when he actually liked something and when he was being polite. It was sweet he was still trying to make her happy by being polite. He didn't have to but that was the most appealing thing.

"I'm debating whether we should watch The Avengers or Police Academy. But...I mean...the movie was just so I could get you here." She nuzzled his neck and grinned, biting the skin there playfully.

[Cyril Kingsley]

Cyril could tell right away that Reid lived alone, well actually he could not. He figured she did, but with the kind of food she had around the house he was thinking more of a college student. Then recalling her job and the fact that he was pretty sure she was somehow single, it all made sense that all her foods were quick. She had work to do, a job where sure she had her times when she had to be at work but there were those times where she had to be called in on short notice too right? Cyril was not really sure since he never actually took the time to understand the polices job. He just understood what kinds of punishments you would get for breaking laws, mainly because of his fighting 'issue'. Still it had been a while since he had been in a fight, so that was a good thing.

As for being polite well that was just again how he was raised. If she asked he would be honest with how he felt about the meal, but did not waste it. He was not going to ask for seconds even if he was a little hungry after, but he was not going to waste it. Plus it was not like horrible. It didn't like crawl off his plate or try to eat him, so in his book that was passing. Still, next time he was going to offer to cook for her. Maybe I could start making her like meals to leave in her fridge for something else to eat. Cyril thought to himself, figuring it would not be hard and like with the scones he could just make her something once a week at least. There were the movie sections, one that Cyril was not familiar with since he didn't hear as much of a 'hype' about it like he did with The Avengers.

He was about to speak but his words stopped in his throat at feeling her nuzzling his neck, followed by feeling her teeth on his neck. He sure hoped she did not expect him to be 'good' if she was going to do that. "Well I would vote for The Avengers. As for using it to get me here, you didn't need to." Cyril said as his hands moves to slide down her frame, resting on her hips as he would pull her closer to him. He would lean in to start kissing along her jaw line and down her neck if she would allow him to, only to bite her back but a little harder, because that was him. "I bite back by the way love." Cyril would whisper against her skin with a grin, as if he needed to even say it after having done it already.

[Reid Chase]

It was as though Reid's brain and ears shut down as she started making out with Cyril's neck. She let his lips run down the side of her face, gasping when she felt his teeth sink into her skin. "Fuck."

She tugged at his hair, sliding down further against the giant pillow she had been sitting on to get eye to eye with him. "I wonder what else you will do with that mouth of yours." She grinned slyly.

[Cyril Kingsley]

Cyril's brain and ears were working just fine for him. Everything was working at what felt like a higher level as his heart beat a little faster and her felt the blood actually flowing through his body. He loved kissing her, every second of it. She smelled so good and just having her close to his body made him always want more, but he kept himself in check. For the sake of them just casually dating and not wanting to push Reid from him. Still, tonight it was on its way to ending different than it did on other dates with how Reid was treating his neck. Her skin felt so soft against his lips and he could not help but to snicker a littler at her word from him biting her. "As soon as we get you out of what you are wearing." Cyril said as if he was teasing, but he was not. Not in the slightest as his hands were already lifting up her grey shirt a little.

Her felt her hands in his hair and how she was tugging at it, and he had no problem with it what so ever. She might have a problem with it since he also was a hair puller if the other person was not to careful. Cyril’s hands were already playing with her stands of red hair. She was sliding down further and that just made Cyril move closer to her, meeting her eyes with his blue ones. He smirked a little at her words of wondering what else his mouth could do. "It can do many things love. All of which I'm sure you will be find out soon." Cyril said keeping his smirk as his hands would slip under her shirt to wonder up her back. Lips descending back to Reid's lips to make them one again for a few times until they both had to breathe before he would start to descend with his kiss on her lower neck, and to her collar bone.

[Reid Chase]

"What is wrong with my outfit?" She mumbled playfully, knowing full well what he meant. Especially when he pushed her shirt up. She shivered and her grip on his hair tightened.

The next kiss made her moan against their lips and a small gasp escaped when she felt his lips move down to her collarbone. "You know what you're doing." Reid chuckled gravelly, letting him explore her.

But even in her clouded mind, one thought wriggled at the back of it, almost stopping her from continuing with what she had been wanting since they had first met.

It felt odd that she was thinking about Dexter at this point of this activity. But she was, and the thought was bugging her something awful. Sometimes, she just hated where her mind went.

[Cyril Kingsley]

"It's still on you." Cyril responded right back, knowing that she was just being playful and that she knew what he meant. If she didn't well she was going to be figuring it out soon as he would keep pushing her shirt up as his hands would travel up her back. His fingertips pressing into her back and running along her spine. He could feel her shivering in his hold and how her hand gripped his hair tighter, making him press into her back a little more and give a few strands of her red her a light tug. The moan was wonderful to hear and feel against his lips.

The gasp just encouraging her and making him think of nothing more than ravishing every part of her body. Nothing would miss out on some attention from him. So long as she didn't plan on stopping him, he didn't plan on stopping either. "I sure hope so at my age." Cyril snickered, speaking against her skin, not wanting his lips to be too far from it for too long. She was not saying anything, but Cyril took that as her just being in the moment and not wanting to waste her breath speaking when she would hardly be able to breathe when he was done with her. His hands already moving to full remove Reid's shirt, moving back to her lips to kiss her deep and passionately for a moment.

Only to stop when something was feeling a little bit different with her. "I'm sorry love...am I going to fast?" Cyril asked as his hand went to rest on the side of her cheek, his blue eyes wanting to look into her eyes. He would stop if things were going too fast, he would understand and he didn't want to push her. Heck at this age you could not be making a woman do anything if she did not want to or else you find yourself in a bad place. Even more so when the woman you were trying to give your affection to, was one who could put you in that bad place.

[Reid Chase]

Reid looked at Cyril, impressed at his response. He may have been a gentleman about her food but he wasn't one anymore.

She was enjoying every second of his lips on her skin, each move sending tingles down her spine and very much burning the pit of her stomach in the most pleasant way.

When he stopped, Reid groaned. Not only because he had stopped but also because his question was the furthest thing on her mind right then.

"No...if anything you're going too slow." She answered breathlessly. But it did hand her the opportunity to basically ruin the mood from here on out. She licked her lips before pushing her fringe back from her forehead.

"I'm sorry. I...I have to tell you something before we go further." She stroked his cheek lovingly. This could definitely ruin a good thing she had going on with the blonde but she didn't like lying. Especially not to Cyril.

[Cyril Kingsley]

The groan left Reid when he stopped and he was worried for a second that he had said or done something wrong. It was probably the talking, talking always ended up killing the mood if you were not careful. You just had to just act, not think or say anything. That point being proven by the fact that Reid said that he was going too slow. Oh, well that is a first. Cyril could not help but to think to himself because most of the women he dealt with liked for him to take his time and meet their needs first before he met his own. Sure he preferred to meet his own, but it was a scientific fact that guys could only go so long before they would end up tired while girls typically wanted more and then would be left unsatisfied. He didn't want to leave anyone unsatisfied so he always tried to at least take care one of their needs first and then go from there. He chuckled a little either way.

"Sorry about that. I keep in mind to not go slow with you then." Cyril said with a smile, understanding and he would not go slow with her anymore. He was going to lean in so he could kiss her and just take her but she licked her lips and pushing her hair back. Apologizing and then saying that she had to tell him something. Oh, dear. Was this about to be a 'I'm married, have kids, or I don't want to sleep with you right now' sort of things needing to be told. Not that Cyril would have any problem with the 'have children' part, since kids were great. She was stroking his cheek lovingly, which did not make him worry any less but he did move his hands back to himself and sat down to give her some space.

"Sure, what is it love? Everything okay?" Cyril said worried a little bit about himself but then about her in case she had something like hiding from a crazy ex-boyfriend and didn't want to put Cyril in any danger.

[Reid Chase]

Reid gave a guttural chuckle, Cyril's response making a smirk appear on her lips. There was no doubt in Reid's mind where this was going and she was pretty sure Cyril knew that too.

Didn't stop her from thinking about Dexter though. It was probably what made her think of the dark-haired officer though. She never equated sex with getting serious with someone but she'd gone on a few dates with both of them and she was seriously in like with both of them.

Cyril's worry made her feel utterly bad about telling him anything at all but she knew she had to before things did get any more serious.

"You're...not the only one I'm seeing." She drew her thumb across her bottom lip, not daring to look at him as she straightened into a sitting position.

[Cyril Kingsley]

Cyril was picking up on Reid's mind being in another place, she would have been helping to speed things along if she had been focused on the moment. She would have removed his clothing and made it clear that she wanted it now and then. She didn't do that, but instead pointed out that he was going to slow and that she had to tell him something. Something that obviously had to be really important and that she felt like she really needed to tell him. She would not have stopped what was going to happen if that had not been the case. He was worried, but his worry was mainly about the other woman and his mind wondering if there was someone else that he needed to go beat up. Reid spoke, and yup; Cyril needed to go beat someone up. Okay, so that was his first thought but he didn't let it show as he moved to sit back and gave Reid her space.

She was seeing someone else. Was that cheating? Well not really since they were not like boyfriend and girlfriend, they were just dating casually right? Cyril would like to assume the dates meant that they were going for more than just casual make out buddies, but that had apparently not been the case for Reid. "...ok. They treat you well, right?" Cyril asked after a moment of silence since he felt like that was the most important thing to ask at the moment. What would probably follow would him wanting to know the persons sex, age, full name, and where they lived. Only so he could make a 'nice' house call visit was all. Get to know this other person that was also seeing Reid apparently like Cyril had been. He looked up at the ceiling for a moment, thinking on why she was bringing this up now and why she felt like she had to tell him.

"Is it safe to assume you are telling me this so that I don't end up really liking you and you end up liking this other person more than me?" Cyril asked, figuring that had to be it and if it was...well it was nice of her. Better to let him know such a thing now compared to waiting until he was in love with her, only for her to love the other person more and choose them and leave him well...unloved and without her.

[Reid Chase]

The fact that Cyril's take away from all this was that she was taken care of, said so much about his character. She couldn't help but smile affectionately, taking his hand in hers and squeezing it. This was definitely not how she wanted tonight to turn out.

His question had her sighing inaudibly, feeling bad that that would be what he thought. "Listen, C, right now, I really like you. And I like the other guy too. Both of you have qualities that are so damn attractive to me. I didn't tell you this because I want you to stop liking me or whatever. I just thought I owed you the truth. I don't want you to think I'm...cheating on you or anything."

[Cyril Kingsley]

Reid smiled affectionately, which was very contagious and had Cyril smiling the same way back at her. His blue eyes looking at her as she took his hands and squeezed them, returning the squeeze back. Her hands were soft, but he could still tell that she did hard work. Using guns dealing with dogs that would tug on a lease or maybe even try to bite her when she would be just starting off training them. This was not how he wanted the night to turn out either, it was the furthest things from his mind how things would turn out. He expected to end up waking up or at least feeling sleep to a Reid with less clothing on and a look of satisfied pain on her face instead of like she had some bad news to tell him or that she was deeply worried about something. She then started speaking and Cyril looked at her, paying full attention.

She liked him. She really liked him, but she liked the other guy too. Well that sucked. They both had qualities that were so attractive to Reid and Cyril was already wondering what this other guy was like. Was he British too and did he work with animals as well? He did blink a little in confusion when she pointed out that she didn't tell him because she didn't want him to stop liking her or whatever. She just thought that she owed to tell him the truth so he didn't think that she was cheating on him. Well...was it like cheating? They were not actually going out, which was probably his fault for not asking, and now there was some other guy to compete with. Just great. He smiled a little, either way and gave her hands a little squeeze, bringing them up to his lips to give them both a kiss.

"It's fine Reid. Not like either of us asked to well be boyfriend and girlfriends. So it’s not like you are cheating. It is just like doing things back in the past with the whole courting and what have you." Cyril explained as he gave her hands another kiss before letting them go and looked over to the TV for a moment before looking back at Reid. "Are we still going to watch a movie then or should I head back home?" Cyril asked, fine with either option really. Even if a part of him was saying that he probably should head back home.

[Reid Chase]

At least he wasn't pushing her away. That's a good sign, right? That was usually a good sign. Yes.

Cyril trying to justify her explanation made her feel validated. It had to be a shitty deal, being on that end of the whole thing and here he was trying to say it's not her fault? God Damn, what was this man made of?

The fact that he was asking if he should leave actually pissed Reid off. But she was a rational woman. She knew there had to be some hurt in Cyril, hence the question, but there had to be some part of him that just wants to ravish Reid and forget about her the next morning. Right?

"Uh...movie...sure." Reid stretched back and grabbed her remote, switching on the projector, letting the movie run. She gave some slack between her and Cyril, just in case he found her repulsive already.

[Cyril Kingsley]

Nope, Cyril was not pushing her away. He could not even if he wanted to because he already cared about Reid. It was not love or anything extreme like that, but he for sure had a hardcore crush on her. He thought about her a lot and he did want them to be more than friends. He would have even probably been satisfied for a little bit if they were just friends with benefits. Now however, that didn't really seem like it was in the cards since Reid liked another guy the same way she liked Cyril. Well at least she had told him and he didn't have to find out by say walking upon her and seeing her making out with this other guy. Just thinking about that did make him want to find this guy and punch his face in for kissing Reid, but Reid was not his so he knew he didn't have a right to do it. Even if he didn't have the right, he still thought about it.

Well, worse case if she picks the other guy, I hope that we can at least be friends. It will be on the sad side to never kiss those soft lips of hers again, but I would not desire to have her out of my life. Cyril thought to himself, but that was how he felt now. Not knowing this other guy, what he looked like, or well anything about him. He wanted to know more about this other guy but at the same time he wondered if he knew more, would that upset him? Would he then be able to picture Reid and this guy kissing if he knew more about him? He honestly knew he could not be mad at Reid, the heart wanted what it wanted and at least she told him and again was not playing him. Not just using him as an escape from the other guy or something. He still wanted to beat whoever this gut was either way or he didn't think that was going to change unless Reid talked him out of it.

He really didn't mean to piss her off, but he did feel sort of odd for sticking around after she told him such a thing. It was not like he was here to just have sex with her or anything; he did come for dinner after all. It was just...well it was hard to get passed the fact that he had been kissing her and planning on getting really personal with her but she was thinking about some other guy. If that was not an insult, then he didn't know what insults were. He would not bring that up however and nodded when Reid picked the movie. "Movie it is. The Avengers, right?" Cyril asked as he moved to face the TV better, noticing that Reid was keeping space between them. Did she not want him to touch her anymore now? He risked going to put an arm around her and pull her back close to at least his side. He gave her a warm friendly smile and made himself comfy as he looked back at the TV, not sure if he should say something else but could not help himself.

"What is his name?" Cyril asked, just so curious and that he had to at least know something about this other guy. It was only fair right? Unless Reid had not told this other guy about him.
