He gave a long and heavy sigh as she spoke, hearing in her voice that she wasn't angry. He did believe her when she said it, but then her signals sent out a different message. Maybe he just wasn't supposed to pay attention to those any more. They had already said that subtlety didn't work for them. If they wanted or didn't want something, then they had to be straightforward and clear.
When she placed his hand on her hip, that was pretty straightforward... and when she moved in close... again, straightforward. He didn't ask her, he didn't warn her, but just went right in and found that soft spot on her neck below her ear. He wanted the spontinaity back and there it was. And while he expected her to tense up again, he was going to keep on kissing her until she pulled back or told him to stop.

Indeed, subtlety did not work between the two, for the two, or anything having to do with the two. For whatever reason, they really did need to be straightforward, needed to be outright with their words, actions, and what all else there was. It'd pretty much been that way since day one, really, since day two, when he'd had to help her out of the tree. Even that day, when he thought she'd been trying to pull a move on him, she had to be straightforward that she had only wanted to be his friend, of course, since then things had changed greatly.
It was actually quite surprising that he did what he next did, Felicity hadn't been expecting that at all. What she had been expecting was one of two things, either him pushing her away or putting his arms around her, ignoring what she'd done with his hand. It had been set there, to show him that was now her line, that was where he could go if he chose to. It would probably take a while longer for her to allow him to pass that line too, but she had pushed the line back a little further.
Once more, the muscles in her back tensed, and she was extremely afraid he was going to stop and get mad at her all over again, but he continued. That was one extremely, wonderfully, beautifully, good sign and she took it well. Concentrating on her hands, she willed them to move from around him, up his chest, over his shoulders, and to latch around his neck, allowing enough freedom to pull his hat away again and play with the hairs at the nape of his neck, that was usually where she got the best reaction from.
Her hands settled, and her back felt a little more comfortable, still not as lax as she thought it should be, but better. Concentrating on something else seemed to work, it was all she had to go with. The blonde let her lips find his ear, and gently began kissing at it when she wasn't concentrating on her breathing or those crazy butterflies in her stomach.

As expected, he felt her tense up and knew she was probably still overthinking things. When it came down to it, he figured it was probably okay because he realized that so was he at the moment. His own shoulders had tensed in anticipation of her reaction but as her hands traveled up the front of his sweater and around his neck he found himself relaxing again and getting lost in the kiss. She hadn't pulled back or told him to stop she he didn't plan to.
Until he realized how impractical that was. He finally did pull back on his own, needing to come up for air. All the same, he kept close to the spot he had staked out, breathing heavily against her neck and giving her some time to finish what she had started on his ear.

This was going a little better than she thought it would. It may have been unexpected for him to try again, especially with how he didn't like the way she'd reacted before, time and again, but Felicity wasn't about to back away from him. This was what she wanted, whether he realized it or not, this was exactly what she wanted him to do, to kiss her like that, to show her what was next.
When he pulled back, it didn’t bother her this time, mainly because it felt different. He hadn’t backed completely away from her, he wasn’t telling her it was difficult, he was still right there, and she wasn’t about to let him go.
Drew had wanted to know what she wanted him to do, he was doing it right then. What she wanted was for him to be careful with her, to be gentle, to not scare her into submission, and he was doing all the things she wanted, and more.
Tightening her grasp around him, she pulled herself closer, wanting to be that much closer to him, liking the proximity as always. The warmth of his breath was tingling, sending little sparks from the skin of her neck, right down to the nails on her toes.
If he was taking a break, and really wasn’t trying to stop it from continuing, she was all for layering the kisses softly on his ear. It was still a new experience, and she wasn’t entirely sure what to do, but she figured the kisses were at least something she did observe being done before, so she could do that quite well. And while he had kissed her neck, she still was a little unsure if it was the same for an ear, or not.

He nuzzled her neck gently as she continued and it wasn't long before he found himself kissing her again, slowly moving up the length of smooth skin in order to get to her ear. She seemed to be enjoying that particular spot and he figured he might give it a try as well.
He murmured softly in her ear as he kissed her, a soft, happy little hum that expressed his own enjoyment. Soft skin, sweet smells and the warmth of her body that had finally started to relax in his arms. This was good.

Curving her neck slightly at his kisses, her own on his ear slowed, partly because what he was doing felt nice, and partly because of the way he moved made it hard to keep going. Felicity really didn't mind though, because again she felt ridiculous just kissing his ear, as much as she enjoyed it, she still was unsure if there was more or if she was doing something correctly or not.
When he made his stop, right at her ear, she was a little excited, because she thought he would know more of what to do than she ever would at that point and time, and this way she wouldn't feel quite so ridiculous. But, when he began making noises in her ear, it tickled, and she couldn't help the soft giggles that escaped. The sound was vibrating, and it just felt funny.
It didn't stop her however, from planting a small, gentle kiss on his shoulder while she waited for him to let her have another go, to try again.

Her giggling thrilled him and he moved in further, closing up the last little bit of space between them. It was more intimate than passionate and Drew was perfectly fine keeping things that way. He carefully trailed his kisses down to her jaw and slowly worked his way back up again finding that sweet spot by her ear and giving her just the gentlest of nibbles.

As close as he was, she really didn't think he was close enough, she felt like he could've moved a bit closer, then again, someone would have a hard time trying to slide a sheet of paper between them, too.
When he left her ear, she thought he was going to go back to that spot he was at before, and she was ready to turn the tables a little, wanting her own go at him. But, he didn't keep going down, and she was a little disappointed, but only because she had it planned in her mind how she was going to make it so she could get her turn in there, and now it wasn't going to go through, at least not right then. However, when she felt the spot he went for, she was absolutely no longer in least bit disappointed.
Rather, the butterflies in her stomach were doing some crazy jig they'd invented, and she had to take a rather deep breath to stay focused. Until she felt something...
Was he biting her?
It concerned her a little, she didn't know there was biting involved. No, it wasn't like a five year old biting another five year old, it was different, had a different feel, like a lot of things did right then, but biting? Weren't parents always telling their kids not to bite because it was bad manners? Did that mean it was bad mannered to do what they were doing?
With so many thoughts running through her mind, she didn't know where to stop, and it wasn't until then that she realized her back no longer hurt from the position of tension it had taken up, but rather it felt relaxed. But, even that thought was short-lived, she was just bitten. Another soft, bubbly laughter floated from her vocal chords, she didn't know what to really think or do.

The giggling had been awfully cute... exciting even, but when she outright laughed, he pulled back for real this time, raising an eyebrow in wonderment. He wasn't confused or angry or even upset... just kind of curious. If it had tickled, he figured it would have made her giggle (Merlin, he loved that sound), but the laugh was something different.
"What? What's so funny?" he asked with a crooked grin, hoping it was a good thing.

Opening her light brown eyes, she couldn't even be in the slightest bit confused, she was still in disbelief that he'd bit her. The smile on her lips didn't disappear as she pulled him closer to her and softly brushed his lips, at least he didn't sound or look angry about her laughing, she didn't mean to, but it was funny to her.
How was she supposed to tell him that the biting had surprised her? After all, everything was a bit surprising, but biting?
Kissing him again, taking a moment and making sure it was worth it, lest he tell her after she explained he didn't want to kiss her anymore, she pulled back, but only slightly, not actually pulling away far enough that their lips no longer touched.
"You bit me."

That was probably the last response he had expected, but then again he knew that she was a lot less experienced than he was... he with his great big, one other relationship that had never even gone past second base.
She didn't look concerned, sound angry, appear upset, but it had obviously surprised her. "It was just your ear. I didn't leave a mark... I promise," he told her, wondering if she was worried about the hickey. He'd never do that. Her dad would kill him for sure.

Shaking her head slightly, she pulled back with the smile still plastered, and bumped his nose gently. "No, it's not that..." she answered with her laughter still evident in her voice, not even having thought about possible marks. "I just...I wasn't expecting that."
Slowly, she touched her lips to his, not actually kissing him, but just touching his lips, and pulled back before doing it again a few more times. "Really, I just didn't think you were going to bite me."
The laughter had subsided a bit into giggles as she finally kissed him again, making her own small trail down to his jaw.

"It wasn't really a bite, just a nibble," Drew told her, smiling at what she was doing. "If you really want me to bite, I can though..." Of course even after the threat, he wouldn't really do it. Going there really wasn't all that cool and he didn't want to deal with the consequences.
"I don't think we're going to make that light show," he told her, not really caring at this point.

"Call it what you will," she giggled in response. "Your teeth still touched my skin." That was biting, no matter what he said. "And no, I think I'll pass on it. I don't think anyone would be too happy about such a thing if you did."
Except maybe her. But that was beside the point, his nibbling had done quite enough for her, it'd made her feel extremely nice. Continuing the kisses, she slowly made her way down the the spot on his neck where she'd tried before. It was easy to reach, and really, she liked the way he had reacted before.
"What light show?" she murmured into his skin, all in jest. Of course she knew exactly what he was talking about, and she was more than sure they had missed the beginning of it, but they could probably still make it. However, she wanted her chance first.
Kissing on his neck for a moment, copying what he'd done to her, she very carefully nibbled. If he could do that to her ear, she didn't see why she couldn't do that to his neck. Pulling back, just a little, she kissed his neck again before nuzzling her nose into him. "Do you want to go?"

"I'll keep that in mind," Drew told her, kissing her lightly on the forehead. "I'll make sure to just gum you next time."
He let her continue on his neck. smiling and just enjoying the warm tingle it gave him. It was pretty clear that she too thought the light show was secondary at the moment. He didn't mind missing it at this point, though part of him had been looking forward to the lights... or more correctly, being able to kiss Felicity under those lights.
"Unless you don't want to," he answered. It was occuring him that his time with her was slipping away. Why had he been an idiot and allowed stupid arguments and misunderstandings take up those precious minutes?
