As Adrian padded back into town the night after the beach party, he had a vague hope that this time, he'd manage to make it into the shop before someone caught him shifting back to human and he ended up bare-ass naked in front of yet another Siren Cove resident.

At this point, he thought, he might as well just strip down and run through the center of town, get seen by everyone at once and save himself the worry.

He'd tried last night to cut the naked probability down by stripping and shifting at the edge of the forest, leaving his clothes there but when he'd checked the spot just now, his clothes had been gone. Kids pranking, someone liked the look of his jeans, whatever.

It was done and he stood at the door to his shop, took a look over his shoulder, and shifted back to human.

Open to anyone, but mainly for Kat and Anna. Find Adrian shifting, or just stop by the shop later in the day and say hi.

Adrian chuckled and pulled at her hands, trying to get them away from her face. "What's this all about? Why are you hiding the best thing I've seen all day? Talk to me, Anna, tell me what's going on in that red head of yours."

He was pretty sure he knew, but he wasn't about to assume and make himself sound like an egotistical creep.

[annasun]

Anna felt the rough, warm touch to her wrists and hands and let him pull her hands away from her face. Blushing, she pressed her lips together and tried not to look worried or panicked or any of those things. She'd promised honesty, she said she would be but it was hard when all she kept thinking about was-

"itstoobigandit'llneverfitandohmyg-goshneverfitnotever" Anna breathed the words out in one long rush of words before trying to cover her face with her hand and when that didn't work she leaned up to bury her face against his shoulder, neck, anywhere that might possibly hide the flame of colour coming from her cheeks.

[needleandink]

"Darlin girl," Adrian said and pulled her into his lap. He settled back onto the couch with her cradled there and held her while she buried her face away.

"I thought it might be something like that, and I've got to admit, this is the first time the sight of me naked has ever caused fainting. That's more than a little boost to the old ego, I don't mind saying." He kissed the top of her head and rubbed one hand over her upper arm. "Take a breath, okay? This really isn't anything to get yourself worked up about."

[annasun]

Anna wrapped her arms around Adrian, burying her face against his neck as he pulled her onto his lap. She almost let out a squeak of protest before she felt the touch of fabric beneath her bare legs. Letting out a sigh, she shifted on his lap and squirmed a littlee so she could face him more and hide her face away.

Brow furrowed with worry, she nodded her head as he kissed the top of it and rubbed his hands against her arm. Swallowing, she took a couple of long breaths in and out before holding him tighter.

"T-that's easy for you t-to say, it's-" Anna blushed. It was- she'd felt it but feeling and seeing his cock were two entirely different things and he wasn't even hard and that made things... bigger? She should have asked Kat this. "I w-wanted to see you."

[needleandink]

Okay, he was going to have to see about stilling her hips and the squirming before she ended up with a lot more than she'd bargained for and he ended up with a certain delicate part of his body perpetually blue.

"I'd say mission accomplished," Adrian replied, reaching out to tip her chin up so he could see her eyes. "And I'm glad you did. I spent most of the night thinking about you while I ran and was probably going to come find you after I had a little breakfast and coffee." Then he paused, looked at her. "What is easy for me to say?"

[annasun]

Anna felt his fingers touch the bottom of her chin and she looked up; lips bitten, flushed cheeks and dishevelled hair, she probably looked like a mess. Exhaling shakily, she moved her hips and shifted in Adrian's lap until she felt a little more comfortable.

"That- that it isn't anything t-to get worked up over. Y-you wouldn't be the one getting-" Anna looked at him worriedly, trying desperately to say the words but faltering on fucked. She just couldn't do it, she couldn't say it at least not that she hadn't thought about it... a bit, okay a lot. "I d-d-didn't even get to see your panther."

[needleandink]

One thing at a time, he thought.

"And here I thought you were only upset at seeing me naked," Adrian smiled and leaned in to kiss her, hands steady on her hips to try, and probably fail, in keeping her still on his lap. "I'd tell you not to worry about being the one getting...," he trailed off the way she did, and winked at her. "If it comes to that, everything will work fine. I can promise you that much, okay?"

[annasun]

Parting her lips to answer she let out a surprised little moan as she felt Adrian's hands on her hips, his mouth meeting hers as he kissed her. Taking a breath in, Anna shifted forward in his lap as she kissed him back lightly. Head ducking slightly as she did, he pulled back to speak and she knew she was red everywhere. Pressing her hands to the low v of her collar, she ran a cool hand beneath the fabric as he winked at her.

"O-okay," Anna breathed out, hoping he was right rather than her. "Y-you're sure? It's just so- a lot. And- and it gets... b-bigger?"

[needleandink]

"It does. And I'm sure it will work just fine," Adrian grinned, watching her hand against her chest before training his eyes back up to her beautiful red face. "More than fine. The parts are designed to move together, and they'll fit just fine."

He slipped a hand up along her spine to slip into her hair and pulled her mouth closer to his. Before he kissed her, he whispered, "it's getting that way every time you wiggle around."

[annasun]

Anna looked at Adrian a little dubiously. He might've been more experienced but she still had trouble believing at any size that his cock was going to fit anywhere.

Shivering as his hands traced up her spine, Anna felt the familiar steady flush spread as Adrian slipped his hand through her hair.

"I'm not wiggling-" Anna began, words cut off by the wonderful feeling of his lips on hers. Sighing into the kiss, Anna's lips parted as she shifted in his lap.

[needleandink]

Adrian braced himself when she moved again while he kissed her, both for the brush against his growing erection and her reaction to it. Based on what he'd seen so far, it could be anything from running screaming to another faint to the blush and giggle. There was no hiding it, though, and even though it took effort, he didn't arch against her.

[annasun]

Touching the tip of her tongue against his, Anna let out a pleased noise as she leaned into his body. Shifting at the press of something firm and hard beneath her ass, Anna felt the flush of realisation spread across her cheeks. He was getting hard again, she'd felt it before but now? Now she was imagining it.

Swallowing she pulled back a bit and pressed her forehead against his. Biting her lip, she took a breath in as she tried to think about anything but his hands on her, his cock insi...

"C-can I m-move?"

[needleandink]

Moving, he thought, could mean anything but based on her breathing and the lip biting, he was pretty sure she didn't mean getting up off of his lap.

"Yes," he answered her, hands on her hips in a light grip to guide her if she needed it. For now, he was content to let her explore.

Who'd have ever guessed he was a masochist?

[annasun]

Pulling away, she pressed her lips together and sat up a little straighter. She moved out of his lap for the moment before taking a deep, decisive breath she shifted in Adrian's lap until she was straddling him and facing him properly. Smoothing her skirt down, she nervously fussed with the hem of her skirt before she tucked her hair behind her ear.

Sliding a little more comfortably in his lap, she knew she was blushing at the feel of his hands at her waist. And at the light touch guiding her hips to grind ever so lightly against him. Pressing her hand against his chest, she looked up at him a little hesitantly, worried that she might've done something wrong.

"T-that's okay? I just wasn't comfortable." She probably still wasn't but she at least felt more in control straddling Adrian like this.

[needleandink]

Adrian watched her every move with breathing that was becoming a little more labored with every fuss and nibble until she was back on his lap and he felt the soft grind against his erection. It was everything he had not to moan over it and meet her shift with an arch of his own. Instead, he raised his eyes to hers and nodded.

"It's fine. You're fine. Better than fine." His voice sounded a few octaves lower than it usually was and he tried to clear his throat, but he didn't think it would be that effective. "Are you comfortable now, darlin?"

[annasun]

A little shiver ran down Anna's spine at the low, deep tones in Adrian's voice as he replied to her. Running her fingertips over his collarbones, she nodded her head at his question. Her hair falling in front of her face, she leaned forward in his lap and pressed against his erection a little more.

"D-doesn't feel too t-terrifying." Anna answered quietly with a small smile. Which was true even if the way she was sat, her dress bunched up around her thighs, meant there were actually very few layers between her and Adrian. "I-I didn't see all your tattoos."

[needleandink]

HIs eyes had slammed shut when she moved against him, head dropping back onto the sofa in a practice of masochistic restraint he'd never thought himself capable of. He reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear so he can see her beautiful face. "Glad to hear it," he managed, "because it feels incredible to me."

Adrian has to work to focus on her words. "There are only two you haven't seen yet. One on my hip and one on the lower part of my back." He grinned and straightened up to kiss her softly. "You'll see them when you're ready to see them."

[annasun]

Leaning forward worried as his head fell back, Anna pressed her hands against his chest and unknowingly rolled her hips against his cock beneath her. Looking concerned at Adrian, she let out a breath when he reached up to brush her hair behind her ear. Pressing a kiss into the palm of his hand, she looked at him curiously as he reclined back into the sofa beneath her.

Flushing at his words, her lips parted in a surprised gasp as he straightened to kiss her. The feel of his cock, straining beneath his sweats and pressing up against the thin fabric of her panties making her turn a delicate shade of crimson.

"Adrian..." Anna breathed out his name like a moan and tightened her grip on him a little. " How low on y-your hip? Could I see?"

[needleandink]

The way his name sounded on her lips was enough to have his cock surging beneath her. Well, that and the continued press of her against him and her soft lips on his palm. He thought he might just die today, but found that he didn't care in the slightest. Something about her pulled at him in a way no clothes-ripping bar hookup ever had, or would, he thought.

"Just...," he had to stop, steady his breathing, "just below the waistband. If you pull it down a little, you should see it."

[annasun]

Anna let out a little squeak if surprise as Adrian's erection pushed a little more firmly against her. Pressing her hands against his shoulder, she sank back down in his lap and exhaled shakily. It was almost too much and yet not quite enough at all. She wanted... more.

"Just a- just a little," Anna agreed as she licked her lips and shifted in his lap. Touching his stomach, Anna brushed her hands lightly against him before tugging painfully slowly at his waistband and revealing skin at her own pace. Which was a lot less frightening than Adrian naked all at once. "Oh-oh it's a Phoenix?"

Anna reached out to touch, her cold fingertips brushing against his marked skin.

[needleandink]

Slow and exquisite torture. That's what this was. His stomach muscles quivered under her tentative fingers and he actually had to suck in a breath to keep himself steady. "It is, yes."

He didn't look down at it but kept his eyes on her face instead. Looking at the little bird reminded him of Amalie and he didn't want her memory here. She'd been no more than a blip in his life, a nervous, tentative young woman he'd tried to help one afternoon during a particularly snowy Chicago day. One his arrogance had killed not three weeks later when the magic had worn off and left her floundering and unable to cope.

Those memories, the pain and loss and guilt, had his body deflating beneath Anna in a way he hadn't thought possible just a few minutes ago.

[annasun]

Anna stroked her fingers from the tip of the beak down it's back to the tail feathers. Smiling softly at the beauty in such a small thing, she almost missed the change in Adrian. Lifting her head, she looked up at him curiously before reaching up to touch his face. Pressing her palm to his cheek, she bit her lip worried and unsure.

"I d-did something wrong?" Anna asked.

[needleandink]

"What? No. No, darlin girl," Adrian said once he refocused on the here and now. "You didn't to anything wrong."

He turned his head, just as she'd done earlier, and pressed a kiss to her palm. "Seeing that one reminds me of a bad time in my life, just before I left Chicago. A memory of a time when I was arrogant as hell and thought I could change the world single-handedly."

His free hand was running along her thigh, a casual, chafing motion.

[annasun]

"O-okay," Anna half smiled as his lips brushed her palm. He was such an enigma. His mouth was warm, his stubble sharp and rough beneath her hand but he was gentle with her. Like she was precious.

Leaning forward she kissed his cheek and slides forward in his lap to hold him closer. Reaching out to touch it again, she ran a fingertip along the design and looked up at him thoughtfully.

"If it's not- if it's not a good memory then you could m-make it one. It's such a beautiful d-design," she replied, cheeks flushing at the feel of his palms against her thigh. Squeezing her legs around him a little, Anna shifted a little as she touched his design. "P-people make mistakes, you're... You're not a mistake."

[needleandink]

"Thank you," Adrian said softly, "maybe some day I will. Maybe you can help me find something that will change it into a good memory instead of a bad one."

His eyes searched hers while she moved over him, touched him, brushed him. His hand moved from her thigh to her ass, pulling her closer when she rekindled the barely banked fire with every move of her lips and body. "Anyone ever tell you that you're an amazing woman, Anna? Because you are."

He stretched himself up to kiss against her throat and along her collarbone.
