for Krem

[juststopped]

It isn't the first time she's ended up somewhere she didn't necessarily intend. In private, she's done her fair share of crying over Flemming - she misses her daughter like a part of her, even after so many years - but in public, she's decided to put a brave face on it. After he'd delivered her to her apartment, Krem had told her that he'd be happy to take her for dinner, once she felt more settled. Adaline's done a little bit to make the apartment her own. She's gone back to the place that Sam bought her and put together a capsule wardrobe that's a sad shadow of her guest room back in San Francisco. She is, in short, trying. And that has to count for something.

It's the middle of the afternoon when she texts Krem.

Dinner would be nice - Adaline.

They arrange to meet at a place that Adaline's walked past a few times. It's not a particularly showy place, but she does make an effort, putting on a dress with a full skirt that reminds her of something she might have bought new in the fifties. She does her hair and make-up. She considers heels for a long time and then decides to wear them anyway. Krem strikes her as someone who doesn't lack for confidence, quiet though it seems to be.

She's a little late when she steps into the restaurant, shrugging out of her coat to let the hostess check it for her.

"Don't you trust me, Adaline?" he murmured, lips turned up in a winsome smirk, fingers curled slightly in her as he kept them close to his hips, kept the pulse of them in time with his hips, picking up pace until he was fucking her with those two steady fingers. He spread them a bit, shivering, letting out a tiny groan as he glance down between them to look at the way Adaline touched herself. His grip tightened on her ass for a moment.

He slanted his lips across her collarbone, panting softly. "You are remarkable."

"You have no idea," she says, throwing her free arm around her shoulders to cling on as she pushes herself over the edge and comes, thighs spasming, cunt clenching around his fingers.

"Oh, God," she whimpers. "Oh, Krem."

The sight of her like that was almost enough to send him over the edge a second time as well, but he found, rather, that he didn't need it. That the deep, effusive heat in his body, the feel of her tight around his fingers and the way he could feel her come as he moved in and out of her, it superseded any particular desire to get off.

He exhaled, hard against her skin, moving until he could feel her start to relax around him, until he could feel her trembling slow down. He kissed her gently as her body calmed.

At the end of it, she finds herself boneless and sated, laughing a little. It feels almost like she's floating. She starts to extricate herself from him, gently, cradling his face with both hands to pull him into a sweet, deep kiss.

"Well," she says, finally. "You were definitely worth bringing home."

[krempuff]

Krem laughed softly, kissing her back gently as he pulled his fingers slowly out of her. As he broke the kiss, he brought his fingers up and licked them clean, not dissimilarly from the way he'd licked his spoon clean at dinner. In his opinion, it tasted much better than the chocolate.

"A very nice nightcap," he agreed.

Adaline groans softly, burying her flushed face in his shoulder for a moment before she rolls away from him, lying there rumpled and debauched, naked except for the gold locket against her chest.

"You're going to be a problem," she says. "I can see it."

[krempuff]

Krem smiled and sat up, wondering if that was dismissal. He had never been dismissed after sex before, and Adaline certainly didn't seem displeased, but he had a feeling he was not invited--tonight at least--to share her bed until the morning.

He leaned over and smoothed her hair, mostly for the excuse to cup her cheek and kiss her.

Adaline leans up into the kiss until it breaks and then she smiles up at him, a little hazy and a little sleepy.

"Are you staying?" She asks, stifling a yawn against the back of one graceful hand.

"If you'd like me too," Krem said, his smile easy and gentle and happy to be invited. He nudged her gently, sprawling back down in the bed with her as well now that he knew he was welcome to the space.

"I'll make coffee or tea in the morning," he said softly, exhaustion slowly leaking in at the edges.

After a moment's hesitation, she curls in against him, her head on his shoulder, one arm draped across his stomach. She brushes her nose against his skin.

"We'll see how it goes," she says.
