Dinner (@americanass)

It was a good thing Claire didn't have any work to do that was terribly important, because she'd spent most of the day distracted thinking about the night before. Confessing her feelings for Steve had been on her mind for weeks, and she could never figure out the right time to go there. Maybe it had been her vulnerability after the nightmare, maybe not, but last night apparently was the time. Whether it was the right time, she still wasn't sure.

Neither could she gauge how Steve seemed to feel about the whole thing, as she hadn't had much opportunity to see him, much less talk to him. They both seemed to be busy, though she hadn't forgotten his offer of dinner that night. Just dinner, no mention of a date, not that she'd really expected that. They both needed time to sort this out, maybe sitting down to talk over dinner would help, especially after each took their time to think it over privately that day. She imagined he was thinking it over now, even if he hadn't considered it before.

As the afternoon inched closer to evening, she considered dinner plans. Claire knew her impulsive nature was influencing her now, but she couldn't help wanting to do something nice. Not a date. She wasn't going to go all out, just prepare a little something for the two of them. It was easy enough see him in passing, to request that he meet her in the dining room around six. And then she got to work.

Claire held herself to some semblance of playing it cool, of not trying to prepare anything too extravagant or that might give the impression that it was a date. No, it was just dinner. A simple pasta dish, a salad. No wine, that would... imply things, and it wouldn't do either of them much good anyway. At least, she thought she recalled that Steve's alcohol tolerance was on a level with hers.

Once the table was set, all she had left do was, well. Wait. He'd probably be on time, she guessed, but she was growing too nervous to check the time. Of course he'd show up, right?

Steve let out a hard breath with the way she teased against him. That alone might be enough, eventually. The slide of her against him had sparks shooting through him, had the tingles of pleasure already started getting stronger. If he was less eager to have her, to be inside her again, he might just let her grind against him until they both came. 

That wasn’t what he wanted this time, though. There would be chances to come and plenty of opportunity to get sidetracked by what felt good in the right then, like that. 

For the moment, though, Steve was more than happy to let her be in control. To tease him and coat him in her wetness. To let his hands roam over her body, slow brushes of his palms around her hips and waist, to skim over her breasts. 

“I like watching you do anything,” he said on a breath of laughter, a needy tightness beneath it. “But if you want to do a little more than tease?” He could hardly blame her for doing it though; he’d taken his sweet time teasing and tormenting before going down on her. He’d earned a little payback.

He said he liked watching her do anything and he meant anything. Steve just liked watching her. Liked looking at her. Since the day she’d come to join the team, his gaze had gone to her no matter how hard he’d tried to tear it away. To make his attraction less obvious. 

But to anyone who cared to see, it was probably obvious that he watched her most closely during training, that it was always her he was correcting, and that he’d always done it more kindly than he’d done the others. 

His attention now was of a much better sort, though. 

Steve’s hands drifted to cover hers on his chest, loosely holding them to his skin as she moved, as she kissed him, and he arched up to return that. It was easy for him to flex the muscles to hold him just a little lifted, to meet her partway, and to let her keep the lead for the moment. 

Giving up control of any situation wasn’t something that came naturally to him, and it spoke volumes of how much Steve trusted her that he was able to let go and let her do whatever she wanted with him. To him. That he could give in and just feel with her too. 

And that he didn’t even try to stop the soft moan that rose in his chest. Even if hard and frantic would feel good, so did the slow and leisurely. Every stroke of her body around him like a thread of pleasure wrapping around him.
