[Her fingers massage gently and affectionately at his legs, running up and down them, her body naturally arching into his touch wherever it wanders. Her eyes flutter shut for a moment, and more of those bubbles start to drift up around them.]
You can still savour both, can't you?
[And though there is a kindling heat in her gaze when it connects with his again, there's something else—something softer—that swims within it as she watches that twinkle in his.]
[He'll feel her chest snag again under his fingers where they stop, and she glances down at them, and then back up, her cheeks a furiously deep shade of pink now.]
Mm... Am I not worth the wait?
[She drops her head so that it's resting against his chest, hiding away from him, her own hands now sliding up his sides.]
[This!!! This is what she means when she says he makes it difficult!!!
Because now she's blushing trying to explain it, the water growing even warmer than it already is. Not scalding hot, but the difference is definitely noticeable as more of those bubbles start to fill the pool while she fidgets shyly.]
[And now it's his turn to slowly bring his arms around either side of her, hands grasping the edge as he only keeps a very small distance way from them. Just enough for a small gap of water to exist.]
I just think you might need to work on your methods.
[Her breath shudders right out of her at the heat that suddenly envelops her. She'd been working so, so hard not to let him get the upper hand and now look at where that's gotten her. Trapped between him and the edge of the pool, the sound of the water splashing no more than a distant echo beneath the sound of his voice.]
And?
[Damn it, she doesn't mean to sound so breathless either, and she clears her throat.]
[She only barely manages to hold it together when she wavers, but she knows that is all he needs to wiggle his way in, because those bubbles are thickening around them. It really is becoming a bubble bath in here...]
Well. You have to tell me what you want first...
[Her voice is so quiet that she doesn't know if she's said it aloud.]
[She tries to give him an exasperated look, but it all but disappears the moment his finger trails up her spine, earning a shudder and a sigh out of her.
She takes in a sharp breath, reining it in. And failing.]
[Her eyes are big and round and bright when she finally looks up at him again, and she chews on her lip.]
You are the worst, you know that?
[Tifa's hands lift from the water, the sound of it somehow exhilarating as it trickles from her fingertips when she brings them to his arms, running up the length of them, digging into his muscles on the way.]
I offer you everything, and that's all you want?
[She tips her chin up, parted lips offering themselves up to him.]
[And now he'll press up against her, the hand at her back toying with the strings of her top before they slide down the length of her spine to toy with the bottom.]
She can't take it anymore, her teeth biting down on his finger to stifle the sound that threatens to escape her and echo through the skies, and so her hips press to his when his fingers trail down over her spine again.]
Then I guess you're just gonna have to unwrap your dinner, yeah?
