retroductions | reverie overflow.

[Of course he’s hard. He was already stiff when he was atop her, kneading the muscles in her back, with her tail teasing between his legs. Sholmes’ arousal certainly hasn’t gone anywhere, not with her crawling across him like this, the strange sense of vulnerability on her side having a similar effect — making his pulse hitch a little in his neck.

Still, his eagerness does not blunt his observational instinct. He can see that she’s still uncertain, at least to a small degree, her twitching tail giving away so much, as always.

But Sholmes trusts her to tell him the moment she’s truly uncomfortable, and so. What point is there in being reticent any longer?]

Higher, my dear.

[It sounds like a request, but it is coupled with a hand coming down hard—but not too hard, not yet—on her backside, palming and… scooting her up.]

We want you at the perfect angle, don’t we?

[ his hand comes down on her with a satisfying smack!, a sharp and unexpected sting, and she jumps, muffling a yelp. the first feeling that registers is affront: who do you think you are? and then embarrassment, colour rising both where Sholmes hit her and in her face.

finally, as he moves her into position, both feelings mellow and meld into... well, she isn't sure what it is yet. her brain hangs on the edge of a misfire: is this sexy, or has something gone so wrong?

...it could be sexy. the palming feels nice, and there is something thrilling to hearing his voice without seeing his face. to feeling his stiffness taut against her belly.

up a bit. he puts her scantily-clad backside at the perfect angle. ]

Herlock.

[He’s aware of every fraction of her reaction — the tone of her voice, the rising flush in her cheeks. No doubt she’s vacillating on the edge of uncertainty, given her predilection for control, but Sholmes thinks she might enjoy the attention, all the same. As long as it is applied not as punishment, like she said, but rather its own kind of reward.

He swallows, though, as she situates across him properly this time. Hard to ignore the warm press of her body against his erection straining in his trousers, but he will for now.

A thumb hooks at the fabric of her panties, dragging it down over the curve of her rear.]

Yes, Sprezzatura?

[ jumps again, only slightly this time, even at the gentleness of his hand tugging her panties down. she expected another smack.

squirms her thighs, rubbing them together while her tail slowly winds about his shin. ]

Put your other hand in my hair.

[ a grounding touch. ]

[Gentle first; there is poignancy in contrast, a bit of thrill in the surprise of it. Though Sholmes is not opposed to tending to her request first as she settles into the idea of it, knowing that her tail winding around him is the same as seeking a sense of security. Grounding, as her ask to slip his fingers into her hair must be.

Of course he acquiesces. Fingertips splay pressure evenly across her scalp, fingers bury in dark strands. Securing, not hard, certainly not pulling. On the other end, however, his hand grips at her backside, kneadingly indulgent.]

Mm, like so?

[ he can't see the best of it, but Sprezzatura can feel it: the colour pooling in her cheeks until they are so warm that it seems to overflow. from there, it slips down her throat to collect at her collar, and around to the backs of each shoulder.

and the kneading. she closes her eyes as the guilty thrill bolts through her. he really has the nicest hands...

face down against the bedspread, one arm hooked beneath to pillow her cheek. mumbled, ] Thank you...

[Perhaps he can’t catch the fullness of her flushed skin, where it darkens the most, but the fact that it creeps around her shoulders is telling enough. One can hope that it’s more from pleasure than embarrassment — that the latter will begin to abate the longer they indulge themselves in this.

He gives her rear one more indulgent squeeze. Can such fondling be warm, affectionate? Maybe Sholmes can manage it.]

Anything for you.

[But again, contrast. Against that kindness, a second passes, and Sholmes brings his hand down hard against her backside again. The slap resonates throughout the room. He eases his palm against her gently afterward.]

[ the fondling feels... good. comforting. she would honestly quite like to lay across his lap like this, for only the purpose of him squeezing and toying with her. that would be perfectly fine...

smack!

again, she jumps, a sound escaping her throat. oh, it stung that time. ]

Oh--

[Stings enough to leave the faintest impression of the shape of his hand, just a hazy rise of color against her skin.

Her noise of surprise is coupled with a sound of approval from Sholmes, who runs one hand down the curve of her spine, gentle, caressing.]

Do you like that, my dear? It should not come as such a start if you let yourself go.

[Relax, trust.]

I don't—I don't know...

[ don't know if she likes it, don't know how to let go. she speaks in just a whisper, staring wide-eyed at the floor from where her cheek presses into her arm. her face feels very hot.

the sense is of being chastised. but—he likes it, doesn't he? that sound he made... ]

I'm trying. Don't stop.

[He likes spoiling her in every way possible, even in indulgences that take on surprising forms, like this might. Sholmes leans in first, placing a kiss on the line of a shoulder blade—the angle is not ideal, but perhaps all the more scintillating for it—before straightening and raising his hand again to give her another spank on a cheek. The opposite side this time, an equal amount of sting.]

As much as you like, as often as you like. If it pleases you. As I said—

[And one more.]

—anything for you, Sprezzatura. [It is certainly not chastisement; it is a reward.]

[ each time his hand comes down, she jumps—not quite so noticeable as at the start, but given she's still splayed over his lap, he'll be able to feel the way everything tenses even as he kisses her. he'll be able to see the way her toes curl as she tries to tamp down on the bubbling feeling of shame.

really. grown woman like her, prostrate over a man's lap? being spanked?

closes her eyes, presses her forehead to the sheets. long, steadying breath in and out. around Sholmes' shin, her tail ripples, not quite squeezing. the sound of her breathing slowly evens out, but it culminates in a low growl. ]

No good. [ it's a hurdle she can't seem to make it over: ] Be gentler.

[A hurdle difficult to surmount, indeed. Sholmes feels the rippling of her tail, her reaction laid bare to him despite his inability to see her face, given that the rest of her is pressed against his lap.]

Tell me what goes through your mind.

[Gentler, she requests, and Sholmes does not go for another spank across her rear just yet — instead, he smooths over the areas that must still sting with a palm of his hand.]

[ literally laid bare, am I right? another hitchy, bracing breath as he palms her--expecting a blow that doesn't come, this time. then the relief of realizing he's not going to hit her again yet. her body goes limp ]

I... I. [ her mind is racing; how can she possibly slow it down enough to say? ] Do I look good? Not... not like disobedient child?

A disobedient child?

[Embarrassment is an obstacle, still. Appearances, perception, even in the presence of someone trusted.

Reassurance is no doubt necessary, though it comes easily. "Disobedient child" is not at all what he sees when he views her splayed across him like this, and his hand runs up her back, eases into her hair, stroking.]

My dear, you are beautiful lain atop me like this. It takes an inordinate amount of willpower not to touch you more than I am already doing. I think that far removed from any descriptor of "childlike".

[ beautiful. his hand in her hair, coupled with his words, goes a long way towards soothing her. difficult though it is to think she looks good in such an ungainly sprawl, knock-kneed and facedown, she has to believe he finds her to be so.

squirms, pressing her thighs tightly together. just enough pressure to tease at stimulating her clit, really, between the tension she herself provides, and Sholmes' thigh tucked close beneath her ]

Oh, please. Please touch me more while you are spanking me.

[Of course he’s beautiful. Tempting. Should self-control go flying out the window, he would like to do more than just have her bent over his knee, sprawled across him— But this is about her right now, not him.

He palms at her rear again, soothing where it had been stinging just before. That same hand, though, travels a little further down, until his touch is little more than the press of two fingers that tease in the spot she’s pressed tight. Her folds, slick and warm, with the cloth of her panties pushed out of the way.]

Relax. Just a little more.

[ relax, he says, and puts his hand there. all her breath leaves her in a soft, shivering exhale. his fingertips feel so warm when they toy between her legs; it's instinct to part her thighs again at his urging, just in case he might... ]

Herlock, I...

[Just in case he might slip a finger in? He is not in so much of a hurry, not quite yet (well, unless she asks), though he does tease at her entrance with his fingertips; moving in an almost languorous circle, catching slickness on his skin.]

Hm?

[Stop? Continue?]

[ he only teases at what her body really, really wants: the fullness of those clever fingers. spreads her thighs a little more with a frankly embarrassing, petulant sound, really putting herself on display for him, even as she turns her cheek into the bedspread. feels hot in here. like a phoenix flame. ]

Cup... [ breathy; it's a struggle to say the words ] Cup me like that, and if you are so careful, Herlock, I will let you spank me there.

[Oh, there's that eagerness, either shown willfully or obliviously -- spread before him almost obscenely, it is hard not to just give in and slide two fingers in, fill her up a little like she so desperately wants.

God, she's so warm. His hand lingers there, cupping firm but gentle at her cunt.]

There, and I would only ever be careful, my dear. So very reverent.

You have done this before?

[ she has. but she was the one sitting where Sholmes is sitting now.

to her, he feels divinely warm, not... the other way around. her heart is loud in her ears, heavy in her chest; still nervy, yes, but undeniably, there is a spark of desire now, too. despite her discomfort (backside already flushed and bruising), the cupping of his hand has her melting in his lap. it feels good. a comforting weight. ]
