[Her hips lift slightly off the bed, both asking for and seeking more contact, his knuckles leaving trails of heat over her exposed skin, warming her only after the cooler air hits it.]

... I gotta save some energy, you know.

[Though, in spite of her protests and the way her muscles tighten, her body and the sounds she makes grow more pliant, her fingers fisting the sheets in her suppressed bliss, now that he understands what it is she actually wants.]

Dreamscapes can take a lot out of me. Especially these kinds.

[He makes good on that promise... several times over. Just when Tifa thought they were done, he comes back for more, and who is she to say no? She always was weak to him, especially so when he comes in for the attack the way he does tonight. Never mind that her head was already spinning with ideas, imaginings, and fantasies of her own, only serving to heighten the excitement and the thrill for the promise of what's to come.

He is right, though—no matter the sort of freedom that they have in their dreams, the hundreds of endless possibilities there are, nothing compares to the heat, the pleasure, the intimacy that they can reach outside of one... where the truest forms of their souls can connect... So, of course she won't protest. Of course, she will meet him with equal enthusiasm and fervor because at the end of the day, she loves him no matter where they are, what universe they are in. Perhaps all of this isn't just a selfish want for herself, but a gift for him as well...

And if this is just the appetizer, the preview, then she wonders what he might do for the main course.

It's no wonder that she falls asleep so easily, though not a surprise. After a long, exhausting, but fun day, and then being sent into that state of content bliss, wrapped up in his warmth and the heat of the bruises he's left behind, the sweet scent of them mixed with the starflowers that have changed to shimmer a deep crimson through their room, her body takes to that deep sleep without any effort at all.

And how the scape that she dreams up comes so easily to her, too.

When Eustace enters, he will find himself at the front door of a large, dim manor, a wide staircase greeting him in front, and hallways leading to the left and right. There are candelabras with flames flickering all over the walnut walls, and the home is dead silent...

...

Not a peep.

Which means that he will have to find her somewhere inside.]

[He won't find her quite yet. Just a bunch of dusty old rooms that look like they haven't been used in a long, long time with dust and cobwebs making a home in them. Crates and boxes, old furniture, all the sort of things one might find in an old manor just like this one.



As for Tifa, she is wandering elsewhere in the house. She's found herself in what "appears to be" a bedroom. She really shouldn't act so surprised—she was the one who put all of this here, mimicking the description in her book as closely as she could. It's a classic vampire's room—a large four-poster bed with silky red sheets, a matching lounge on the other side of the room, a mini-bar with bottles of red wine to decorate it...

There may be a few other things scattered about... that she added... but he will have to discover them on his own when he finds her.

For now, she will wait patiently, exploring the room to her heart's content... though, it feels as though it might beat right out of her chest with how quickly it's moving with anticipation buzzing all across her body. The thrill of wondering when he might enter the dream and find her. Though, she has a feeling it won't take long.

And, to help him out a little, she'll "accidentally" drop a pair of cuffs to the floor, and in the distance from above, he'll hear the sound of something made of steel clattering. Oops.]

[Tifa runs to the locked door to press her ear to it, listening for his familiar gait in the halls... though she can't quite pick it up. So, she paces around the room, that heat that had pooled in her belly only growing hotter as she's forced to wait.

What for? She could just go look for him, run to him and give herself away, but that would ruin part of the fun, and the whole point of this dreamscape, wouldn't it? She wants him to look for her, wants him to find her, and when he does...

She glances at the wine with a bite to her lip before she finds herself at the door again, opening it just a crack.

...

And wincing when a soft creeeak echoes into the front hall.]

[No special powers... Tifa is a simple girl with simple desires, and right now, she desires her husband to come and find her before even she loses her patience.

And there's a light tingle when she hears his footsteps coming up the stairs, that tiny ache growing again, and she quickly rushes away from the door to pretend like she had been doing something else—examining the tapestries or the sheets that are way fancier than anything she's ever slept on—before he can come in.

...

....?

Except that he doesn't.

Listening, his footsteps seem to be going away from the bedroom?

There's no way that he would not even notice her there? He'd at least be able to hear her or catch that familiar scent of vanilla and starflowers.

With a pout, she tiptoes to the door and peeks through the crack, and when she doesn't see him, she slips out into the dimly lit landing. She looks around but there's no sign of Eustace anywhere anymore...

Ah, he wants to play too, huh?

So, she follows the direction his footsteps had led her down the hall to see if she can find him, quietly tiptoeing after.]

[Still, Tifa continues down the halls with her now in pursuit of him. How he managed to turn the tables on her, she doesn't know but he somehow always finds a way to surprise her. If this were real, she should be afraid... she would be, of that strange chill that seeps into the air, of the way that the candles dim, of the darkness and the silence that follows her and clings to her...

But for this, it just makes it that much more thrilling. She could control it, but she chooses to let him play, too, even as she tiptoes through the long, dark hall, listening for his footsteps. And with how fast her heart is racing, she wonders if maybe he's gained some ability to hear it. To smell the way her blood thunders through her veins until it all pools into the ache that he started before they even entered the dream.

She's unafraid as she continues her own hunt, stopping to check in every other room only to find the same things—dusty crates and boxes, cobwebs, and a few items she wouldn't dare speak of aloud, but she'd read about in her books.

Even though she knows he can probably hear her, when the floorboard creaks under her feet, it makes jump, her gasp echoing louder than the squeak of the wood through the corridor.

If she wasn't on edge before, she certainly is now, her pulse quickening and a shiver running through her bones as she gathers the skirt of her old-fashioned dress in her hands and presses onward.

Where, oh where, has her husband gone?]

[One thing after another startles her—the flutter, the shadow, the wind that blows out all of the candles until she's left in the dark...

...

Though she doesn't call out to him like she normally would. And, after a light, playful grin, her heart hammering now in her chest, Tifa puts on the act of being an innocent girl who just seems to have lost her way as she whirls around.]


... Who's there!?
starshower: (INT503)

[personal profile] starshower 2023-10-17 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She whirls around at that tingly heat along the back of her neck, trying to bite back that smile when she doesn't see him, because no—that isn't part of this! She isn't supposed to be giggling or flushed, though the latter can't be helped. A good thing that it's so much darker in here now.]

N-no...!

[If only she was as good at acting as she was at punching things. There's a pause as she tries to remember the (very cliché) beginning of the book.]

I got a little lost... in the woods, and came here to seek shelter from the rain...!

[Her back goes taut when she feels his touch up her spine, sending shivers and goosebumps rising all over her as she continues to spin to the sound of his voice. Her heart may very well find its way out of her at the rate that it's going, so fast that she can barely keep up with the flutter it stirs in her stomach with excitement.]

Show yourself first...!
starshower: (temp 051)

[personal profile] starshower 2023-10-18 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She shouldn't be so surprised by it, but when she feels him press to her back, his hand finding her throat, she stiffens with a gasp, her body instinctively arching towards him.

Tifa tries to keep the breathlessness out of her voice, but it's his right in her ear, his own breath hot against the sensitive flesh there that has her failing terribly again at doing so.

How long will she actually be able to keep up this little act, she wonders?]


... You must be the master of the house?

[So soon, she thinks to herself, as his fingers roam over her pulse. She can't cave, she doesn't want to cave... not yet, no matter how much she wants to wrap her legs around him and bury his face into her neck, but there is a low whine that bubbles in her throat, spilling out as he gives that corset a powerful tug.]

I am only a humble maid... but I can offer you money. Jewels, if that's what you want.

[She breaks character only a little when his breath tickles a particularly sensitive spot just below her ear.]

Just for one night... that's all I ask. Please. [She doesn't mean for that word to come out so desperately.] It's so dark and cold outside in the rain...
starshower: (temp 300)

[personal profile] starshower 2023-10-18 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
[As he nips on her ear and that first clasp snaps undone all at the same time, it draws a sudden gasp out of her.]

Eus—

[She stops herself before the rest of his name can make it out of her, and she'll snap her fingers around his wrist in an effort to stop him before he goes too far here.]

More than one night? ... Well. Is there a place I could clean up? I'm a little... dirty from the rain.

[He'll no doubt feel the heat blooming off of her as the colour deepens all across her flesh because dear Shiva, she cannot believe she just said that.]
