Love My Darkness

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Devyn complimented Zoe which, of course, made Zoe blush again. She hardly considered it brave. Yes, some part of her might have thought that she should have stayed put for Devyn, but if anything, that was borrowed bravery. It wasn't Zoe being brave by herself or for herself, but being brave with and for Devyn. As far as Zoe was concerned, that didn't count.

Hands came on hips and Zoe got that ever so familiar tingling feeling. Her stomach felt all light and fluttery and she was nearly overcome with the urge to try and kiss Devyn again. She held back, of course, as she knew full well that she was the one with all the restraint in this relationship. The photographer's face crinkled in confusion as Devyn named the games though. Explore and Wondering? She was almost more wrapped up in that than she was in the hands on her hips. Almost.

Exploring Devyn and wondering over... and Zoe thought she'd been blushing before. nothing compared to the sudden palpitations she felt now. Zoe almost felt her legs giving out at the mere thought of what Devyn suggested. Every word sounded, felt sensual, almost sexual. Explore Devyn; that sounded like something out of one of Zoe's dreams, the kind that often resulted in her taking a cold shower and reminding herself that her touch was poisonous. Wondering at Zoe... that sounded safer, but somehow Zoe figured that Devyn had some kind of evil plan involved.

"Exp--wait," she shook her head, looking up at Devyn and frowning, "we're in public in a... secluded wooded area, but still outside!" she tapped her finger against Devyn. "I'm a good girl, Devyn, there will be no sexy games outside," she even sounded sure of herself, adding a little nod and feeling quite pleased at standing up to her girlfriend.

Because that was going to last.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was all eyes on Zoe now and was watching her expressions; still wondering was going on inside her girlfriends head. She had a few guess, but Zoe had always seemed to surprise her so she could not be sure. Even still, Devyn really liked that about Zoe. Zoe was shy and cute, one that Devyn would call an easy person to corrupt and in a way that was true. Even Zoe said it herself one time that Devyn was a dreadful influence. Mmmm, dreadful. Devyn was just thinking about how Zoe's accent just made that word sound so wonderful to be called. Devyn was a sucker for accents after all, making her wonder if she be able to taste the UK on Zoe. Not like she really expected to taste the UK, because how does one even taste the UK? Drink a lot of tea? Zoe had gotten coffee, but was she a big tea lover? Devyn made a mental note on that for a question to ask later.

"Are you alright there?" Devyn asked in a teasing tone as she saw the blush on Zoe's face seem to get really bad and was slightly worried she had pushed her girlfriend to faint. What Zoe was thinking was probably along the lines of the games Devyn had come up with, she it was going to be a very hands on activity. Exploring would be fun for them both even if Devyn was most likely going to end up not feeling anything, but Zoe still would. That was, if Zoe was brave enough to do what was required in the game. Then wondering over Zoe, well that was going to be mostly on Devyn's part but Zoe was still going to have control. Both games Zoe would have the power for what she was going to do and in fact the games were likely to go nowhere if Zoe held back too much, but Devyn still wanted to try them.

Devyn started to grin when she was pretty sure Zoe was going to pick explore, meaning she wanted to explore Devyn. However a small pout appeared on Devyn's face at Zoe bringing up the fact that they were out in public. "No one will see us." Devyn said as she started to pull Zoe by her hips, closer to the trees to see if that would help Zoe feel better about being outside. Not like many people went this way, Devyn picked it for a reason. Zoe was standing up to her and that was pretty hot, a woman who takes charge. Well, thinks they can take charge. Devyn was not going to outright force her, but she was going to ask once more. Then if Zoe really didn’t want to play a sexy game then she drop it. "Being a bad girl is fun and you are basically calling the shots in both games so you can stop whenever you want." Devyn said in a last attempt to convince Zoe, but she didn’t say it in a pleading manner, more of a 'hey, it might be fun, and we can stop whenever manner. Very nonchalant.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

No, no Zoe was not alright. She was getting hot, uncomfortably so. She didn't even want to think about what it was going to be like come summer, when she still needed to have every inch of her body covered and the heat got up even further than it was now, with early Spring. Thank God or whomever for polar vortexes, that's all Zoe had to say on the matter. Even now though, her mind was dashing through several preferred daydreams and fantasies, many of which involved seeing Devyn in various states of undress. In truth though, Zoe would have been about as comfortable if Devyn wanted to cuddle up under a tree and talk about the clouds.

Of course, she also knew that her girlfriend was needy, physically needy at that. Zoe wanted Devyn to want her, and she really wanted to be the one to give Devyn her physical needs too. She just wasn't sure she could, and she wasn't just thinking about her power there. Zoe'd never... and she definitely didn't want to with Devyn until the other girl said the "L" word.

But sexy games didn't necessarily mean anything like that, right? Zoe bit her lip, even chewing it a little to consider. No one would see, and Devyn was already pulling Zoe close. They had just done something major in their relationship, so it did make sense. Plus, Devyn had given, now Zoe had to give. That was how relationships worked. Be a bad girl for a while.

"Okay," said Zoe, her voice low again, "I do, um, want to..." she turned red and barely muttered the next few words, "play sexy games with you," she swallowed, then shifted, "but, um, I--" wonder over her or explore Devyn, which sounded safer? Probably wonder, if Devyn kept her hands close, which might have been why Zoe had said explore, maybe? She sighed, closing her eyes, getting a sinking feeling that she was going to regret her decision no matter what she said: "Wonder?" she said, opening on eye and practically begging for that to have been the right call.

[Devyn Solway]

She is thinking about it. Devyn thought when she saw the lip chewing, seeing at Zoe would also nibble on her lip when she wanted to say something but was holding back. Devyn really was not going to push it anymore, in fact she was about to just say never mind and that she was just messing around. Play the whole thing off like she had just been teasing, which should have worked. After all Devyn often teased and flirted in such ways, so Zoe should have bought into it. However Zoe said okay, but her voice was low. Was it from uncertainty? That she didn’t really want to do it? Just trying to make Devyn happy. Many questions wondered into Devyn's mind for a moment, but they didn’t stay to long with Zoe saying more. Going red and her words were coming out less clear. Devyn was really starting to worry Zoe was going to pass out or just explode or something. Her grip becoming a little more firm on Zoe's hips, but purely for the sake to be ready just in case Zoe did fall.

"We don’t have to if you don’t want to Zoe. Could just sit down and hang out or I let you get back to whatever it is you were doing or had to do." Devyn said letting go of Zoe's hips and gave a small shrug. However she did smile, to let Zoe know that it really was alright if Zoe said no, because Zoe didn’t have to say yes. Devyn wanted her to honestly want it, not think she had to give it to make Devyn happy. Even if getting it would make Devyn happy, she was not that selfish and honestly could still have her 'needs' met other ways. Zoe picked Wonder for the game so Devyn was still going to explain but still allow Zoe a chance to back out. Moving to stand behind her girlfriend and slide her hands back onto Zoe's waist. "Well in this game. My hands will wonder up and down your body." Devyn said as he voice dropped to a whisper as her hands moved slowly sliding just above Zoe's waist.

"My hands will move slowly up against your skin, but not lift or remove any clothing. Also I won’t touch anywhere a two piece would cover." Devyn said with a smirk, since she figured Zoe would understand what places she meant. "However, this is where you have the control. You will hold onto my wrist. Having the power to stop my wrist from wonder up or down." Devyn said as she started to work on sliding her hands up Zoe's stomach, still outside the clothing of course. "You can move my hands wherever you feel alright with me touching and the only way I will touch those wonderful places that would be covered by a swim suit, is when I get close, I'll stop for a moment. If you tug up on my wrist...or down a little, then I'll take that as my okay. If not, I'll skip over said areas and keep with my wondering hands." Devyn completed her explanation, wanting to lean in and kiss the side of Zoe's neck softly, but quickly.

“Understand everything?” Devyn asked her voice still in a whisper. “We can stop anytime you like, all you have to do is pull back on my wrist away from your body.” Devyn said, having tried to be clear about everything, still while her hands would go to wonder up Zoe, rubbing her thumbs along Zoe’s sides, wishing to fill Zoe’s skin, but just feeling her body with the clothing on was enough for now.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Oh, Zoe was very, very tempted to take Devyn up on the whole going over and sitting on the grass thing. That sounded altogether pleasant; they could hold hands and maybe kiss a little, even cuddle. Every part of that sounded exactly like something that Zoe wanted to do. However, she knew that Devyn was... more, and part of her wanted to be that more for her girlfriend. Hands touched Zoe's sides and she nearly trembled at the touch, sucking in a breath as she felt them crawling up her. Just touching where a two-piece bathing suit would cover? Wasn't that really everything that mattered? The hand was already placed on her stomach and Zoe's heart fluttered. She felt her breath going a little shallow. Maybe she should've picked the other...

no, if Zoe had to guess, the other would have been Zoe doing this to Devyn. Zoe was fairly certain that Devyn would have decidedly less control if her girlfriend was exploring all the best parts of her body. Zoe's girlfriend lightly kissed her neck, and again Zoe ended up biting her lip, this time for a slightly different reason. That felt good, too good, way too good.

"Wait," Zoe finally managed, blinking as she felt the thumbs moving along her side, "did you say skin? Devyn," she met her girlfriend's eyes. Didn't move the hands, didn't move away, didn't do anything that showed that she didn't want to play games or anything, but she definitely gave her girlfriend a serious look, "My entire skin does the whole paralysis thing. You'd have to touch and then stop and--oooh," Zoe bit her lip, lowering her eyes. Something told her that this was exactly what Devyn had planned. She shifted and moved to grab her girlfriend's wrist, her heart pounding. "So, um," she took a breath and looked at Devyn's eyes. Again, words failed Zoe, and she just sort of stared into Devyn's eyes. Feeling that she needed to do something, she leaned forward to lightly kiss Devyn's lips, not even lingering long enough to give the other girl more than a tingle. That shoul say a lot, right?

[Devyn Solway]

She could tell Zoe was really enjoying Devyn's hands moving up and along her body. The sucking in air, the change in heart rate. She was close after all so could feel it all and hear her enjoying it. She loved to get Zoe all heart beating fast and enjoying herself. That was the point in pleasing your partner and all. Work them up; pleasure them senseless, at least that’s how Devyn saw it. She honestly didn’t need to have it done back to her. She just needed to give it. If she could not give it, then yes she would need to receive it. But it didn’t have to be both, she just needed one. One of them feeling really good and by default she knew she would feel it too. A low growl slipped out at hearing Zoe's breath start to go shallow. She does indeed like it.

Devyn caught the lip bite, tempting her to nibble at Zoe's lip but she didn’t, she just made a note that she would kiss her girlfriends neck again soon. Even if her lips were already starting to feel tingle a little bit, she still could feel them. Tempting her to risk the next kiss that she would give Zoe to last a little longer, possibly. Devyn paused however when Zoe said wait, not wanting to, but she did stop what she was doing, looking back into Zoe's eyes. Zoe was making it clear that all of her skin would have the same effect on Devyn's body. All of it. Damn. Devyn figured there had to be somewhere that would not affect her, how could things be so cruel? She just wanted to ravish her girlfriend. Those random dreams she had and the lust was enough to just drive her up a wall and normally with any other person she would have this 'problem' taken care of.

"I can stay just touching you on the outside then Zoe..." Devyn said, really she could, and she could try. Zoe might have to help her out a little bit if she accidently started to lift Zoe's shirt up, but she try. Honestly she was a bit confused now, mix of hormones and want that she was not even sure anymore what she had really intended by this game. Her wrists were grabbed and Zoe was looking in her eyes and Devyn looked back into hers, still slightly confused, the kiss didn’t clear up her confusion. However, Zoe kissed her again and part of Devyn almost snapped. Wanting so badly to shove Zoe back against a tree and take her, but she didn’t. She held herself back and was growling for her mixed feelings. Either way Devyn pressed her lips against Zoe's when the other girl kissed her, going as far as to slide her tongue against Zoe's lips before pulling back. "So...that is a yes to playing the game then? Me staying outside your clothing...or...?" Devyn just...she wanted to be sure, because she really felt like she would end up hurting herself and if she was, she wanted it to be worth it. So if Zoe wanted her to touch her skin she would, but if not she stick to just running her hands along Zoe's body through the clothing.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

This was wholly unfair, this whole situation. Zoe kept squirming a little, practically dancing on the spot now, and Devyn hadn't really done anything yet. She stared at her girlfriend, having felt that tongue flick against her. Devyn had apparently been somewhat smarter this time, seeing as her tongue wasn't numb enough to make her words nonsensical. Stay touching the outside... Devyn doesn't really want that; she's just saying it to make you feel better.
Do I want it?
Do you?
It sounds nice; I've never let anyone... and Devyn...
If you don't let her do something, then she's going to stop wanting you, Zoe.
Unless she just wants me because she can't have me.
She keeps growling, is she really going to just let you go?
I want this.
You do.

"Okay," said Zoe, her voice sounding a little stronger than it had. She took a deep breath, reaching down to pull at her shirt a little, her heart thudding as she felt her black undershirt sliding out from the top of her skirt. A cool bit of air touched her skin. Zoe shifted her grip on Devyn's wrists, pulling them against her. "So, um, you can, um, touch, and, ah, I can, if you're going numb, just, stop for a bit, and," wow, that was so broken that Zoe nearly felt like she had lost her mind. Hadn't she though? To actually encourage Devyn to touch her? Devyn wanted this though; Zoe could tell. "Just be careful, okay?" she said, meeting her girlfriend's eyes. She lightened her grip on the wrists, mostly just keeping her hand there, handing control over, her heart thudding loud.

[Devyn Solway]

Zoe was moving around a lot more now, squirming in place that Devyn felt like her girlfriend was just going to wiggle away. She half expected it; question was if she was going to let Zoe go anywhere. Devyn was fine with not being able to play her game or if she had to stay on the outside of Zoe's clothing. However she was not planning on letting Zoe get to far from her. She wanted Zoe close, that possessiveness surfacing a little more. Taking in Zoe's scent. Zoe was hers, even if they were in an open relationship, Zoe was still hers and she honestly didn’t plan on sharing Zoe with anyone. Even if that was really unfair of her, she didn’t care. Plus she was not even really worried about Zoe having a crush on anyone else or someone flirting with Zoe. Zoe was cute however, very cute, she could easily attract people to her.

Going to have to make it clear that she is mine. The thought went across Devyn's mind as she was trying to think how to make it clear to others at the school that Zoe was hers. She could not put like a label or a collar on her girlfriend, no...That was not right. She had to let Zoe do as she pleased, make friends, and just be happy for her girlfriend. Didn’t mean Devyn was not going to growl about it and possibly get in the way if something were to happen. Devyn raised an eyebrow at Zoe saying okay. Devyn felt like she was in a dream for a second. Did she really just say okay? Is this really Zoe? Am I sleeping? It was very possible that Devyn had been in fact dreaming this, she had a dream similar to this after all, but every time she would get to seeing something, the dream would change or she would wake up.

Zoe untucked her shirt and lifted it up; Devyn had access to her skin, she could see it, and was allowed to touch it. Devyn was feeling all kind of eager, even more so when Zoe pulled her wrist against her. "Okay...you are still in control, so if you don’t want my hands going somewhere or you want them to, move them there." Devyn practically gave the order because again she wanted to be careful with Zoe and make sure this was what Zoe wanted. She was a bit hesitant because she felt like this was some kind of trap, but she careful reached under Zoe's shirt, going to touch her finger's lightly against Zoe's skin, before attempting to slide her whole palms up along Zoe's stomach and sides, having to fight to pull her hands away when she would feel them go to numb, growing a little more as her waist pressed close against Zoe's waist.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Right, Zoe was in control. It was certainly nice of them to say so, as if Zoe wasn't just doing whatever Devyn asked of her. You want this. She could feel Devyn's hands getting closer to her body. Nobody had touched Zoe there since long before her power had come into being. Most of the boys she'd dated had been too shy or cowardly to dare want to touch the pretty girl they'd somehow ended up with. The couple that were hadn't been nearly as skillful, sensual, or outright sexual. Zoe licked her lips as she felt the hands finally touch her sides. She let out a little gasp, her startled eyes still on her girlfriend.

"Your hands are cold," she said, lowering her eyes a little. The hands slid along Zoe's sides, drawing against her. Devyn's hands felt softer than a boy's but not quite as soft as Zoe's own. The touch was foreign too, new, exciting. Zoe could feel goosepimples spreading along her skin at the touch, the tingling sensation spread. The moment she felt Devyn pull her hands away, Zoe helped. Part of her wanted to just shove Devyn's hands against her and feel them, to run them over her body, but she knew that too long and it would spread. Devyn would feel the sensation rushing back to her fingers each time she left Zoe's skin. It would take a few seconds to restore, and too quick at putting it back would make the sensations increase; the extended surface area already did a lot.

"Do you," said Zoe, her voice a little breathy, she wanted Devyn to look her in the eyes, so she lifted ah and, purposefully moving Devyn's chin so that they looked, "do you play this game with lots of girls?" she asked. She wanted to ask for compliments too, to know that she wasn't just a body to Devyn. She shifted, wiggling a little, unable, ironically, to hold still while those fingers trailed along her. Her gaze didn't waver, though her eyes might have dipped a time or two.

Zoe wasn't sure which was more terrifying: seeing Devyn's shadow-cat form or feeling this touch on her skin.

[Devyn Solway]

Zoe licking her lips brought a devious smirk to Devyn's lips as she leaned in close to her girlfriend. Letting out a small chuckle at Zoe's words about her hands being cold. Only way she was able to tell was because for a moment before her hands went tingly she was able to feel the warmth of Zoe's skins. "I'm sorry. Warm them up for me?" Devyn asked, still in a whisper, wanting to touch Zoe more, but figured she had to wait, wait until the feeling in her fingers and hands would feel a little more normal then they did now. Zoe was not breaking eye contact with Devyn which made Devyn growl a little more, since eye contact was a little bit like she was challenging her. Devyn kind of was looking back at Zoe, daring her to look away, daring her to try and move away. She was not going to let her, even if Zoe managed; she was not going to get far.

"Your skin is really soft and smooth." Devyn pointed out, thankful that Zoe helped pull her hands away because it really was a challenge to remove them by herself. They could do this, if they both tried to keep Devyn from just full on going out they could handle this right? It was just hard because Zoe had given her the okay and once she got the okay Devyn just wanted to take it all. Devyn moved her hands too touch Zoe's skin again as Zoe asked the question. Why does she want to know? Immediately went across Devyn's mind for a moment, noting that Zoe was making her look her in the eyes. Was she trying to read if Devyn was going to lie or told a lie? "Well...kind of...but that’s more so while we are having sex then just for touching." Devyn said speaking honestly, not seeing the need to lie to Zoe, she did ask.

"Plus by now my hand would have already been down their pants." Devyn added, returning her hands to going further up Zoe's body, pressing her fingers a little into Zoe's ribs as she worked her way up, pulling away just before she got to Zoe's chest area, right below them in fact. Growling a little more at having to remove her hands again, since the feeling spread through her hands a little faster since she pressed her hands against Zoe's skin more. Leaning in to kiss Zoe's neck a few times, making each kiss short, and even if her lips started to go numb, she still moved to kiss Zoe's neck in several placed. A leg going to move between Zoe's legs as Devyn moved in even closer.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

Something told Zoe that they wouldn't have to wait long before Devyn's hands became warm. She could feel those fingers moving up her soft skin, moving from moderately familiar territory to wholly uncharted sections of her body. Really soft, yes, Zoe was, very soft and feminine; she knew that, but hearing it from Devyn felt... different somehow, more like a compliment. Zoe certainly blushed like it was a compliment, that was for certain. Then Devyn said words that only helped, though she probably didn't realize it. She didn't do this with anyone else, not for just this; for sex, perhaps, but they weren't going to do that. Zoe refused to have her first time be in the woods at random, and if Deyvn didn't like that, Zoe had just enough determination to paralyze her girlfriend and apologize later.

Not that she was thinking anything of the sort now though. She gasped as she felt the hands going up to her ribs, likely to find her bra relatively soon. Devyn made a teasing comment about where her hands would go, and Zoe let out a nervous giggle. "I'm not wearing pants," she couldn't help but say. She wasn't, rarely did, for that matter, often preferring skirts, like she had on now. A growl, removed hands, and Zoe nearly trembled. This was so raw, and suddenly she was very glad that she'd agreed to play the game.

Kisses landed upon Zoe's neck, and she melted. Trembling, she moved one hand to grab onto Devyn's shoulder, holding tight as she felt her legs simply refuse to keep her upright any longer. She felt a leg move to catch her, and Zoe nearly fell upon it, kept upright by Devyn's hands and her grip on both them and the girl herself. There was no way that Devyn could still feel her lips; they had to have gone numb. Zoe found it hard care right now. She was struggling to remember whether or not she was supposed to be tugging or stopping or what have you.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn's hands were indeed warming up, but not only her hands, her whole body felt warmer. Tempting her to roll up her sleeves, but she had to wait either way since she could not feel her hands. This was such a challenge. Getting somewhere, only to stop because you could not feel your hands. She was still enjoying it however because she was at least getting to touch Zoe. Zoe had allowed her to touch her. Skin to skin and it just made Devyn really pleased about that fact. The progress they were making...well more so Zoe was making. Devyn was not really doing much besides asking and trying things. Zoe was the one allowing her do it. Still, Devyn had that lingering feeling if this was really what Zoe wanted. She had the feeling Zoe would be the type to do whatever to make Devyn happy. Even more so because she would basically say no one moment and then well this. This running her hands up Zoe's body, feeling her girlfriend's skin, and giving her soft kissed.

My hands. Devyn thought as she worked on opening and closing them, figuring that might help work away the numbness faster. Still not fully understanding what it was about Zoe's body that made things happen like this. Yes Zoe said it was like a poisonous frog, but that was because their diet and if you changed up what they ate then you would be able to touch them without a problem. So did Devyn have to feed Zoe different things, did she have to eat something herself or drink something? She was not really sure, but there had to be a way besides suppressing Zoe's powers. Devyn snickered at Zoe's words at not wearing pants. "That’s true, which honestly makes it easier for me, but i did say you have to move my hands to places that are covered by a bikini." Devyn said still keeping her voice in a low whisper, her lips yes were very numb, which was why she had stopped kissing Zoe's neck, tempted to lick at it, but kept herself under control enough to hold back.

"Whoa, easy there." Devyn said when Zoe's legs gave out under her, Devyn glad she had moved a leg between Zoe's legs; even if that was not why she had moved her leg there. It was good that Zoe's legs where giving out underneath her, that meant she had to really been enjoying herself. Not that Devyn had gotten to do anything really good to Zoe, so she quickly figured that Zoe's neck was her spot. "Should we lay you down before we keep playing this game or are you calling it an end?" Devyn asked, moving the leg that was between Zoe’s against her girlfriend, to see how Zoe would react to that. Devyn going to remove her hands out from Zoe's shirt to hold her girlfriend by her waist, so she would not fall. Could not hold herself back too long and leaned in to give Zoe's neck a lick with the tip of her tongue, not that it really helped prevent her tongue from going numb, but she wanted to lick Zoe so she did.

Going to have to stop soon. She does not really want this. Zoe's not the type to like outside. She is doing this for you and you know it. You're being selfish. Devyn was mentally scolding herself, knowing that part or all of it had to be true. She didn’t say anything however, mostly because it would not be clear, but she looked at Zoe, watching her. Seeing how Zoe would react and say. None of this would have been so hard if she could touch her without having to worry about being paralyzed. Knowing that if she got hurt, Zoe would probably revert back to not letting Devyn touch her or anyone for that matter. Devyn didn’t want that, but she also knew that if Zoe was going to keep letting her and not really stopping her, not saying no...she was going to end up doing things. Things that for sure where going to result in getting herself paralyzed, but she at least told herself that when that happened she was going to make sure it was worth it.

[Zoe Wallerstein-Smythe]

The snicker at Zoe's comment was hardly surprising, though relieving. Nice to know that Zoe could at least make Devyn chuckle, if in a sort of weak, halfhearted manner. There was something in there about how the whole hand thing actually worked, like, Zoe would have to practically drag Devyn's hands to the more sensitive, bikini parts, as if Zoe had ever worn a bikini in her young life. That suggestion got lost in a sort of haze of touching and sensation that worked over poor Zoe. she thought she understood it, and part of her wanted to just yank at the hands and sort of shove them places, paralysis be damned.

Easy there, and an option presented before Zoe. She kept gripping Devyn, feeling her heat skip a beat. Just stop there? They probably should. Devyn had already withdrawn her hands to Zoe's hips, back to safety. Zoe could still feel tingling sensations all over wherever the other girl had touched her, and she almost desperately wanted those sensations to crawl either up or down. She bit her lip, forcing her emotions and hormones to stop and let her brain do some thinking for a moment. This proved to be nearly impossible, especially with Devyn still there, doing her thing.

Then that tongue went to her neck and Zoe let out a little yipe. She also lightly smacked Devyn on the shoulder. "You know better!' she admonished, though still flushed and obviously pleased at a little more neck attention. I'm going to have to start wearing scarves or chokers, because there is no way Devyn is going to forget this. "Your tongue is probably all numb now," Zoe frowned at Devyn, knowing that she was focused on the tongue to forget other... things. Now her mind was getting the clarity it had been craving mere moments before. Lay back... did that mean? Did Devyn honestly think that Zoe was going to... here? Zoe had been most clear that she was, in fact, a virgin, and losing her innocence to her overly aroused girlfriend on a wooded path as most certainly not in the plan.

"No leaning back," she finally said, lifting a finger and tapping it lightly onto Devyn's lips. "You are not taking my innocence on a wooded floor, you rake," she teased, trying to keep light. She leaned forward and kissed, keeping her finger in place to act as a buffer. While still in close, Zoe whispered, "It has to be right," she didn't want to say the exact words, if for no other reason than she was positive that the terminology she would use would make Devyn run for it. For Zoe, the first time would be considered "making love" and there would be no alternative terminology needed. Zoe wanted Devyn to know this, to make it clear. This was, after all, part of why Zoe had agreed to an open relationship: if Devyn needed that, she could get it elsewhere. Zoe's first time would be special.

Of course, now that Devyn wasn't touching or kissing, it was much easier to think that.

[Devyn Solway]

Green eyes looked closely at Zoe, still wanting to keep playing the game, but if Zoe said they were done, then they would be done. Yeah Devyn wanted to keep at it, give Zoe more, but she could not if Zoe was not really for it. It felt...too forced then, and Devyn really, really didn’t want to force Zoe to do something she didn’t want to do. Yeah she was needy but she honestly could again get herself taken care of other places if she really felt like she needed to. Even still, it was never a true need, more of a want, a desire that just felt like a need because she enjoyed it and so did the other person. Where was the harm then? If both parties enjoyed it then why should they not indulge in the fun? Zoe was biting her lip, meaning she was thinking again, at least that was how Devyn took the lip biting now.

The yipe made Devyn snicker a little, but she didn’t say anything because her tongue was indeed numb, even when she just used the tip of it. She was defiantly going to remember that her girlfriend's weak spot was her neck. She was going to give it so much attention next time...or more so soon. Just had to wait for her tongue to not be so numb. Wonder if I can remain on her neck long enough to give her a hicky? Devyn thought as a sly smirk started to spread across her lips. Oh she really wanted to leave a mark on Zoe's neck, in a way it was like laying a claim, leaving your mark on the other person. One that would linger and give Zoe something to think about, which was why Devyn for sure was planning on trying it despite what might happen. She just would have to time it right so Zoe didn’t like smack her in the face or something.

Devyn made a pouty face and Zoe saying that she was not going to lay back, wanting to say that she didn’t plan on anything bad. Just wanted to keep at their game but with Zoe laying down so she would not just go weak knees again and collapse to the ground, since Devyn might not always be able to catch her when she would be distracted with other things. She gave Zoe a wink at being called a rake and being told that she was not getting Zoe's innocence out here. She figured as much and was not going to push it, figuring Zoe was clearly the type to want to wait. Devyn just hoped it was not one of those 'wait until marriage thing' because well that was just going to be impossible for Devyn to handle or wait that long. Heck she didn’t even want to think about marriage, she was only seventeen; she had so much more to do. She started to chew on her tongue as Zoe leaned in for a kiss, but her fingers didn’t move and Devyn let out a growl.

"Being a ease." Devyn managed to get out, but unable to pronounce the t in tease just yet as her tongue was working on getting feeling back. Zoe's words only confirmed that Devyn was indeed going to have to wait, for some requirement to be met. She just had to figure out what they were, which should not be too hard. Devyn still growled low as her grip on Zoe's hips tightened, going to pull Zoe flush against her body. "So are we done with this game?" Devyn asked, managing for words to come out even if she had to same them a little bit slower in order to make it clear enough to be understood. "Play the other one or done with all sexy games?" Devyn asked soon after, still not letting her grip go of Zoe, voice dropping to a whisper as she leaned in closer to Zoe, basically inches away from her girlfriend's face and looking right into Zoe's beautiful brown eyes.

The pouty face and wink both nearly made Zoe giggle. She knew she needed to remain firm, at least on something, at least on that. Now that she could think her brain was kindly informing her that she would regret it for some time if her first time, her first time with Devyn, her first time with a girl, her first time period, happened like this. So yes, she mustered up her modest amount of courage and stood her ground on that.

Even if her girlfriend growled and caused her a tease, which actually did make Zoe feel bad. Was she just a tease? She'd let Devyn touch her, nearly touch her all over, but she wasn't letting her do anything else. Should she... she wanted Devyn to like her, possibly more, was it going to take not being a tease to do it? Hands on hips, pulled tight, their warm bodies pressed against each other. Funny how warm Devyn felt now, with the shadows gone and all. That striking face hovered just above Zoe's. The girl could smell the musty aroma of her girlfriend, and she was willing to bet that Devyn could smell her too, probably better than Zoe herself. She'd tried to use a few scents, not wanting to overwhelm Devyn, but wanting to smell, well, pretty, and she'd made sure to apply a little before Devyn had called her, now she was wondering if that was a good idea.

Zoe wanted to ask if Devyn wanted to be done, but her lips had barely parted for the question when she realized how stupid it was. Of course Devyn didn't want the sexy games to end, everything about her suggested as much. Zoe bit her lip, nearly chewing it now. Which made her thankful that she had very good lipstick to apply to them, otherwise she'd end up chewing them raw. "Um," she manged, moving. Her hands went to Devyn's wrists again, but she froze, unsure what she should be doing. She wanted to just ask Devyn what the other girl wanted, but she had a feeling that Devyn would say something nice and polite. So Zoe had to guess, and her guess involved sliding those hands against her. Zoe moved so quickly that she felt the fingers drag against the waistband of her skirt for a moment, and she let out a little gasp at the tingling sensation.
