[ Margaery's historically balked at this part - letting someone get to know the real her - because it's not just access, or vulnerability. it's also giving them implicit permission to touch her identity, and have direct influence in all the ways she thinks and feels. but then again, she's probably past that point. Dick is already there, coaxing the softest part of her even before their lips are meeting again, her heart loud but slow in her eardrums as she closes her eyes and surrenders to him.
this kiss travels deep, almost like a hot drink on a cold day, except it reverberates through her entire body, releasing her from everything else but the feeling of his fingers against her hair, the softness of his lips and the intentional way they move against hers, earning a quiet moan of satisfaction that could almost pass for a sigh. her hand moves too, snaking up to cup his jaw first, before moving up to curl around his neck, just where it meets his shoulder.
she's so, so warm.
distantly, she realizes that she's never been kissed like this before; kissed for the sake of it and nothing else. no expectations for more, no showboating, or manipulation. Dick Grayson kisses her like he'd be happy to do only this for the rest of his life, learning her through the way her mouth parts and her tongue presses against his, confident and still ever so playful even as she rises to the occasion to meet his intention and enjoys herself in the moment.
her eyes stay closed even when the kiss comes to a natural end for air, Margaery chasing his mouth to follow up with one, two, three more chaste kisses before she opens her eyes and smiles, crooked and pleased. ]
The first thing you should know about the real me is that you're welcome to kiss me like that anytime you want.
[ Dick shouldn't be surprised that they connect without missing a beat, the same way they the rest of the night. it's so easy, and the chemistry feels like they might as well have done this before. she moves like she reads his mind, meeting every tip of his head, every slick slide of tongue, curling her own with something like a promise beneath the tip of it in a way that speeds up his heartbeat and strings heat through his body. the little sound in the back of her throat only further descends his mind away from rational thought.
he has to work to remind himself that there's no need to rush here, except he wants nothing more but to linger and chase after those sweet kisses, yearning for more. she's giving him way too much credit if she thinks he wants just this, that he'd be happy with it for the rest of his life.
how could he not want more, when her eyes are so warm, her smile so pleased when he opens his eyes and sees her there? his gaze drops to her mouth, taking in the way it looks like this, kiss-reddened and glossy, their delicate shape curled with so much quirk punctuated by that adorable little dimple.
he breathes a quiet laugh. ]
Yeah? Can I kiss you like... [ he trails off playfully, his voice taking on a husky edge to rise just above the hum of traffic beneath them. he leans in closer, and gently kisses her again before drawing her lower lip between his to nip along the plushness he finds there, tugging it just slightly. ] this?
[ he murmurs the syllable against her mouth before licking apologetically after the sharpness of his teeth. ]
no need to apologize!!! :(( I HOPE YOU'RE HANGING IN THERE OK
