Out on the Preserve, Sunday morning (NWS)

[nadiathesaint]

Out on the preserve, sleeping quietly in a tent, Nadia dreamed:

She was looking into the mirror, but the face looking back wasn't her own. She reached out to touch the glass and the reflection's fingers met her own as she watched its features meld and change, from male to female.

She picked some mascara and slowly, carefully applied it to her lashes, as though she was not entire familiar with the process. Some of her lashes stuck together, but that didn't matter, just now.

Fingers reached out, hit the play button on an old stereo, and music filled the space.

Once the make up was finished, she reached up taking down a shining, slightly fuzzy box and lifting off the lid. Inside was hair. Lots and lots of hair, of all different colors and styles. She plunged her fingers in, feeling the soft fibers slide over her skin.

Who should she be, today?

Anyone, really. Though, she knew, eventually, she'd have to turn back to herself.

She woke up blinking and sighed. She couldn't have had one of those dreams while they were trying to figure out the ghosts. Oh, no, she had to have an almost completely useless one like that.

If she ever saw her father again, she was going to throttle him with her bare hands.

"Kissing," Walter said decisively, leaning over to do just that while he rested his hand on her stomach.

[nadiathesaint]

And kissing was something that Nadia could just about always agree with.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

It was a good start. Walter nipped her lower lip and slid down to kiss her jaw and throat.

"Or I could get up and make you breakfast now," he murmured against her skin, even as he was slowly rubbing his hand up her stomach and ribs.

[nadiathesaint]

Nuh-uh. "Food later. Kissing now."

Nadia tilted her head up to give him better access and reached up with her not-aching arm to run her fingers through his hair.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Mmhm," Walter hummed and nipped under her chin. That was the answer he'd been looking for.

His hand continued its travel up her body and over a breast, although it didn't linger yet.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia gave a soft sigh when the hand didn't linger, and tugged slightly on his hair to encourage him to come back up where she could kiss him.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter kissed his way back up to Nadia's lips, his hand gliding over her collarbone and up to cup her jaw.

[nadiathesaint]

Mmm, yes, much better. Nadia sucked gently on his lower lip, running her hand down to his neck and his shoulder.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter sighed contentedly and brushed his thumb along the soft skin of her jaw, drawing her upper lip carefully between her teeth. He leaned into her more, still mindful that she had an injured shoulder.

[nadiathesaint]

He was rather into the teeth today, wasn't he. Not that she minded. She relaxed further underneath him and tugged on his shoulder bringing her other arm up to rub his back.

Ow. Right, crap, she forgot. Which meant, hey, it was working.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Not that he'd be pointing out where he might have picked up habits with teeth, but at least he was succesfully distracting her.

"Keep that hand down or I'll have to hold it down," he threatened playfully, before kissing her harder, no teeth, just lips and tongue.

[nadiathesaint]

"Mummhmmph?" Which might have meant "promise?" when her mouth wasn't otherwise occupied with the important business of getting kissed.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. What fun are empty threats?

For the moment, he settled for kissing, drawing his fingers down her jaw and neck. There'd been a sigh when he'd not lingered somewhere, hadn't there?

[nadiathesaint]

Why, yes, yes there had. Nadia trailed her fingers down his arm, bending her injured arm at the elbow to bring it into play.

That worked better. No more twinging.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Tsk. Walter had told her to keep it down. He shifted to twine his fingers with hers and use his grip to carefully press her hand down to the sleeping bag.

With one hand occupied, it seemed he was going to have to continue his explorations with his mouth.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was still not objecting, even though she had been trying to be careful. Well, she could still use her other hand. She ran her fingers in circles over his back.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter smirked and nuzzled her throat before sliding a bit farther down to kiss her collarbone and down to the upper swell of her breast.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia gasped softly and flattened her hand on his back. She lifted her head to press a kiss to the top of his.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter lifted his head to kiss Nadia back, gently pressing her head back on the pillow and tightened his fingers with hers.

[nadiathesaint]

Walter just wasn't going to let her do much of anything, was he. Well, that could be fun. Nadia kissed back firmly and ran her thumb along the side of his hand.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

In for a penny...

Walter sighed happily and draped a leg over and between hers.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia ran one foot slowly up his calf as she turned her head slightly to kiss his jaw.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter kissed her throat and slid back down her body, back down the her chest, down the swell of her breast, and lingering this time over a nipple.

[nadiathesaint]

Which meant another gasp from Nadia as she tightened her grip on his hand.

Walter squeezed back and dragged his teeth carefully over her skin as he switched sides. Okay, yeah, teeth were part of the days offerings.
