[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?
[She gives a disappointed, frustrated hum when he doesn't go the rest of the way to close that small space left between them. It turns into a groan as she opens her eyes, searching his own.
... Fine.
As those bubbles continue to rise, as does the heat in her body, she glances around.]

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.]
no subject
And...what am I waiting for?
[He is voice is low against her ear, his other hand now moving towards her hip to pull her closer.]
no subject
... But tempting as it is to just lean in and steal his lips, she just stares at them patiently.]
Enjoying the things I got for you?
[She doesn't actually mind all that much, but it's not often she gets to tease him like this, or is confident enough to do so.]
It's nice to just sit back and enjoy once in a while, isn't it?
no subject
[He eyes her for a moment, a very long moment, before...
He sits back, his hands now leaving her completely to brace against the stone floor instead.]
What did you have in mind then?
no subject
Nothing really.
[She giggles, trying to drag him back into the water to join her.]
I just never get to do this. You make it hard to.
no subject
But he will let her drag him back in the water.]
I'm still not sure what "this" is.
[And he makes it difficult because it's amusing to see her crumble so quickly and easily.]
no subject
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.]
Teasing you.
no subject
[Just a playful smirk as he moves closer, the water rippling around them.
Tifa, you may need to up your game—]
no subject
And now she's backing up from him towards the other end of the pool.]
Was that not obvious?
no subject
[Just smiling as he slowly follows her.]
no subject
Really?
[—until her back bumps into it, and she looks behind her as if that was completely unexpected.]
Maybe you should pay more attention.
[And now she looks like a rabbit caught.]
no subject
I just think you might need to work on your methods.
no subject
And?
[Damn it, she doesn't mean to sound so breathless either, and she clears her throat.]
What sort of methods should I be working on?
no subject
Isn't that for you to figure out?
[And then he leans a little closer.]
My dear wife?
no subject
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.]
You're always telling me to tell you...
no subject
But that's not as fun. I want to see you try and figure it out...
[One hand that had been on the edge of the pool shifts to now be at her back, slowly running up her spine.]
no subject
[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.]
I wanna know what you want, too.
no subject
[Tifa, he is never going to make this easy.]
no subject
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.]
no subject
I still have yet to see everything you have to offer.
[Slowly sliding his fingertip against her soft lips before pushing further in.]
no subject
It's all right in front of you... So? What do you want?
no subject
[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.]
no subject
She yields.
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?
no subject
Who said I would?
[A tilt of his head, his eyes gleaming darkly.]
You said you still have things to offer... So I'm waiting.
no subject
... Fine.
As those bubbles continue to rise, as does the heat in her body, she glances around.]
... Are you feeling thirsty?
