[ Jing Yuan certainly knows how to make a body sing with desire, but at his core he has always been someone who tended towards sentimental, who never would wish anyone he cared for deeply to think that he would be doing something like this without thought. Even in the presence of unequivocal desire, he will never shy away from the person that he is, from the feelings that reside deep within him, that he thinks he gives more and more with each and every passing second.
In this intense brush of an entangled, mutual dance with each other's lips against one another, Jing Yuan feels the movement from Solomon, when those fingers eventually find his hair and pull at it — at him enough that he feels delighted. It is kind of difficult to smile like this, but if he could manage it in its entirely, Jing Yuan certainly would. So he doesn't resist the tug, not at all.
The nonverbal ask — no, demand — to bid for him to come hither still is received loud and clear.
But then, above all, is the audacity in which Solomon for certain goads him silently on — by action alone with such talented tongue. Perhaps by such action that would certainly cause lesser men to lose their senses — though Jing Yuan pridefully keeps his head clear. Enough that following after the man dares to trace that tongue ever-so-teasingly — but with no further step forward — Jing Yuan lets himself nip softly at Solomon's lower lip.
Still, he dares not resist the invitation, already tempted enough to take that plunge, allowing his own tongue to slip past that opening as he tilts his head, shifting one hand to rest more firmly against Solomon's back as he surges forward. As he presses firmer, heated and passionately to bring the other man too deeper into this moment, so that their tongues meet, and far more than for a brief moment. He has no intentions of making it so fleeting; he has every intention of making it that these feelings stoked ever so deeply are overflowing in their heat. In an expression of desire of its own that seeks to rise in intensity gradually rather than selfishly without thought.
...And perhaps Solomon may believe himself a demon. But if that is true, would this heated moment upon which they great one another be a potential moment for which they both are able to mutually make way towards their salvation? He can feel his own heart race, and with them pressed so close, Jing Yuan feels himself simultaneously sink further into Solomon, but also give to him more. More and more than simply take.
His fingers settled onto the clothing of the other male's back grip harder, and by this time it is no surprise that they are practically unapologetically pressed against each other, one hand still on one of Solomon's hips, gripping firmly where it lies.
This, should make it stark clear what kind of hunger exists within his heart. ]
[He hums his approval at the advancement, a quirk of his lips at the bite that easily gives way, letting his mouth open wider and taking himself in to taste Jing Yuan at his intrusion - Jing Yuan leads heavily with passion, and Solomon catches him, letting him explore before sliding himself right alongside, tongue and teeth and panted breath. He doesn't push back so much as he guides it in circles, a swirling parry to the straightforward nature of Jing Yuan's own emotions. To catch and swaddle and push them right back, coaxing, coaxing -- keep taking, it says, as Solomon sucks lightly on that retreating tongue in a moment of breath, as Jing Yuan's palms pull him in by the back, by the hip...
With all the litheness of a cat, Solomon slides himself closer, up onto his knees as he pushes up and over Jing Yuan's lap to straddle one of his thighs, both hands now cupping his face as he lets them part only for breath, only for breath, glances minimal and heated. Indulge, is what Jing Yuan had said. So let the man melt under his fingers like fine chocolates, let him work to contain the uncontainable. Solomon drinks of his mouth slowly, deeply, feeling the heat that rises in his chest and letting it simmer for now. He is the water to the fire below - he will find his own time, to vaporize, to become the air that feeds him instead.]
[ Jing Yuan isn't a loud man by any means — not in the bedroom, and certainly not out of it — and this remains true even now. His own quick breaths are swallowed up because of how their intimate entanglement, courtesy of his own actions and Solomon's daring quick maneuver in that brief moment before he's straddling him just a bit.
The heat has already pooled to his face at some point, noticeable prior to even those hands cupping his cheeks. Even with an allowance of the brevity of breathing in their brief break, it's the intensity of it all that is to blame. But, even that moment is lost in time when their lips meet again, and he keeps the hand on the older man's hip where it is, but moves the other so it rests against the back of Solomon's head. Like this, it's easier to kiss at him, unraveling slowly, kissing at his lips, slipping him tongue, nipping at that lower lip again.
Then, he's moving that hand along that hip so he can carefully run it over that thigh ever-so-teasingly, to back along that too (overdressed) hip. It doesn't stop there, though, because he next has that hand move to Solomon's side and then to other man's lower back to press him even more incessantly against him. Perhaps to cause some sort of friction, even if it's difficult to do much movement himself like this, and at last he knows himself he's panting into the kiss, however muffled it is.
If it weren't for that rather high collar of his Solomon would feel the escalation evidenced elsewhere, though his hand is moments from tugging at that too. Which will be clear evidence of how much Jing Yuan has been riled up from all of this in his actions; though now also a certain part of his body. ]
[He allows that touch to travel, another pleased hum at the travelling grip against his leg, even dropping one of his own hands to splay against Jing Yuan's own as though to follow it, to run against the muscle of his clothed forearm as it moves from hip to waist to even further.
It's the more intentional attempt at friction that has Solomon finally breaking the kiss, leaning his face to press his lips to Jing Yuan's jawline once with a hushed tone against his ear.]
Shh... Don't forget where we are, Jing Yuan. I have my pride.
[Though he doesn't make any movement to separate their hips. Not yet. The warmth is so enticing, and feeling Jing Yuan react so immediately to a single moment of passion has Solomon's chest fueled with amusement. One would think the general was still young with such obvious excitement.
Another quiet, chaste press of his lips against that jawline, even as his hands find both of Jing Yuan's forearms, a bracing grip as he intentionally rolls their hips together. Once, purposefully, slowly, before raising himself up too high to follow through.]
[ Whoever can have their dicks remain limp with a horny sorcerer on their lap has the willpower of an ascended monk. ]
Mm, my apologies. I seem to have forgotten where we are.
[ Words spoken in an unapologetic, sing-song, yet breathy and amused tone, which is more of an indication that Jing Yuan is definitely beyond warming up to this. And not just because his body is very eager.
The daring friction incited by Solomon in turn is delightful, the action being behind the way his eyes narrow ever so slightly approvingly as an indication of how the pleasurable contact affects him. He doesn't make much of a sound in response, but he doesn't need to, with him allowing his body to also meet the movements all the same. Though...Solomon can see the way those golden eyes momentarily soften in gentleness when those lips press gently against his jaw. That gets an affectionate caress where Jing Yuan has his fingers still caught in Solomon's hair, and...
Jing Yuan then shifts the hand that was resting at the other's lower back instead to Solomon's shoulder. Regardless of the man's grips on his forearms, he is never hampered by this kind of movement — praise be to his strength, even if it might jostle where the other man has rested his own. As for the other hand still within Solomon's hair, Jing Yuan moves that out of it to downwards in order tug at Solomon's high collar to expose the skin as he leans forward... ]
...Though, I wonder if I should warn you in the same way, given what you just did? Would I be wrong to?
[ Jing Yuan's words are teasing, more than anything. Then, he's moving to press his lips against the exposed soft skin of Solomon's neck — not to bite, but still only to suck at it none-so-gently right after. All is fair, right? ]
Solomon stifles a sound in his throat at the suddenness of it, the rough and aggressive nature to the sudden pinching warmth under lips and tongue and teeth, right where his pulse starts to pound just a little hotter.
Oh. Oh, this is dangerous. He cups Jing Yuan's head against his neck as his next breath comes in a little more shallow, free hand gripping against the one holding at this clothing to expose him. Not to take that touch away, but to acknowledge its presence, to feel the shift of tendon and muscle.
[For a passing moment, it feels like it shouldn't matter. A spot of weakness, of wanting to take the bait and give in return, to just follow that push and pull, that back and forth. It's deliciously enticing, and for that passing moment, he almost caves to keeping it going, as he leans his head to rest just barely against Jing Yuan's shoulder and expose the line of his neck further, the dark characters that show the start of protective sigils. His shoulders roll with a tremble, a voiceless sigh, a subtle rolling of his body up into the ministration of Jing Yuan's mouth. Not enough to provide either of them friction, but close enough to feel the heat that's starting to bother Jing Yuan is a shared matter.]
As soon as Jing Yuan's mouth frees from him, Solomon's hand raises to gently press against Jing Yuan's lips, to give them a slight amount of distance as he backs off his lap just slightly. He's a little breathier now, though what tinge of color he may lack for now is made up for by the heat now heavy in his eyes.]
Not even a dialogue for me, General? What a poor warning.
[It's not serious, of course. But he does let the silence sit thick, a slow trace of his fingertips over those warm, warm lips.]
...
I'm sorry. Don't misunderstand. I don't mean to scare you off from this. Perhaps indulgence could do us some good... should we both desire it.
[And yet the quiet sits. A moment of letting the simmer remain a simmer, keeping it from boiling over too far, too fast.]
I don't ask for your heart now, Jing Yuan, when I'm not ready to give you mine. I don't ask for your feelings or desires, beyond what you wish to share. I don't wish you to give yourself completely in this moment that is difficult for you. So don't bring any more of yourself than you feel you must.
But if you find your soul so eager... and the night feels too cold...
[His fingers drag against that bottom lip. Just barely, just enough pressure to tease.]
...If this is something you cannot ignore, then find me in the Nectar District. Later. Bar Bennett.
[His expression tilts down just slightly. Lidded eyes and smile just so.]
If the carnal calls you so serenely... then you may find me, and put your hands on me, and allow your heart to be left with mine by the wayside for a night.
[No commitments. No admittance of something as strong as love required. Only curiosity and connection and a desire to be beside, to belong, to understand.
A lonely night, for lonely souls, in privacy. Not here.]
[ Delightful...absolutely, obscenely delightful — such is the only accurate word that can be assigned to Solomon's reaction to his playful little action, incurring such a response that only encourages him in his boldness. Not that he does much else at the moment, preferring to go at it in his own pace; a patient man to the end, even if the way he proceeds may not make sense to anyone else but him. The varying pace is a comfortable one set by him, and also by his current partner; though he isn't thinking about such details. No, his mind is filled with knowledge in the various ways of how Solomon is certainly most apparently as keyed up as he so happens to be now.
So, there is that thrill of unrepentant excitement surging forward through the General like a wild, tumultuous tide, but somehow not sweeping himself up in it at all, even as Solomon regains his senses before they both truly start to indulge while throwing caution to the wind.
...And far better it be him than Jing Yuan who is, well, let us put it this way:
Shameless.
Particularly when people are not around but shameless all the same. His lips are curved in a smile by the time Solomon's pressing a hand gently to his lips and needing to catch his breath. That color on his face does terribly suit him well, he thinks, and oh he thinks other things certainly would too.
As for the issue of matters boiling over, or not...Jing Yuan resists any further playful actions by strength of will even with those fingers teasing at his bottom lip. Oh yes, he is thinking of the exact position he would have him in if it weren't for Solomon's control indeed. That, though, he keeps to himself; all that said, Solomon's words excite him further, where they might make others question it or filled with dismay. Saying such wonderfully debaucherous words in that wonderful voice, with a sinful look in his eyes, ah...he is so hopeless. ]
Well, do not sound too surprised when I say that I believe this 'something' has gone far beyond the possibility of me ignoring it.
[ His voice is still playful, jocular. If the other man had no intentions of it potentially leading in that direction, he would have never done what he did while he was in his lap. At least this time he read him correctly; and his words now are evidence to that fact. ]
..Therefore, I'm not going to make you wonder if I will show up or not, Solomon.
[ Jing Yuan cannot in all honesty treat this as a mere, thoughtless encounter, because he is not like that. But, he can give himself into a passionate night with the one he cares so dearly about; where thoughts do not make either one of them freeze, where they throw away all worries aside, and let their actions speak for themselves. To have their bodies meet one another in a heated dance, meant for only the two of them.
Yes...he is most certainly interested in following through indeed, and he lets himself fall deeply into the idea, holding back a shudder of anticipation. Though, Jing Yuan raises a hand to ghost fingers gently against one of the other male's cheeks, albeit briefly. The desire lies stark, yet deep within his golden eyes, like a pair of dual suns lit alight during an obscene solar flare. ]
I shall arrive at that place to find you. So, let us indeed continue this indulgence not here and indeed elsewhere...until we both have achieved a mutual satisfaction.
As for the other questions, he arches an eyebrow, though with all of his fluffy hair it can potentially be difficult to see. ]
I'm afraid I'm incapable of phrasing this in a less thoughtful manner. It simply would not be who I am...and as for your other question, I would say that would not be quite all that accurate.
That said, I wonder what makes you provide these inquiries at all. Is it because I'm a military man? [ His lips curl upwards, mischievous smile on his face. ] Ah...or could it be that I have left you in such shocking, pleasant surprise you thought of such intriguing questions to lay before me with such a captivating expression on your face?
So serious... you're not helping my case against you.
[Wow! 0.5 stars for not taking a joke, Jing Yuan. No rizz. Well, okay, tiny bit better at the end there, he tried to stick the landing, but still! He prompted the man so smoothly to just talk sexy to him and it went straight over his head...
Solomon looks almost disappointed as he sighs, lips pursed in a thin pout and arms crossing in front of his chest.]
[ That pouting expression is so endearing...enough that it makes him suddenly laugh lightly, more evident mirth in his eyes, which narrow slightly. Well, with the way he speaks, he can't be totally surprised about this. ]
...Oh? What a pity that I have made you think so.
[ He definitely caught the joke in there, but his delivery may have not been the best. But, no matter, Jing Yuan does not see it as an issue.
He reaches on over again, fingers brushing against Solomon's cheek once more; the action fond and affectionate, brief, catching along hair strands framing his face, before settling down. ]
Though, I had the opportunity to witness this new expression of yours, even if I would rather not make you pout all that often. Yes, I would rather not be the cause of wrinkles on your face, of all people.
Oh dear, don't start with that. Don't go speaking like Asmodeus, now, or you'll have a completely different set of expectations on you. Unless you want to be seen as a narcissist on the same level as the Avatar of Lust himself.
[He loves Asmodeus dearly in his own way, but also: please, don't be like Asmo. Please, dear god.
Quip aside, he sighs deeply as he leans into that touch, missing it when it lowers. Ah, it all feels electric after so much stimulation... when was the last time he felt like this?]
I lost my ability to age in my twenties, General. If a failed attempt at childish flirting gave me creases to show my age after all this time, I really would be destined for the grave.
I'll accept the grievance, but only on one condition.
Hmm...I see. So that's who you're comparing to me after all of this time.
...I jest, of course. I believe you can leave such concerns behind you. I won't ever sound too much like him, I'm sure.
[ Jing Yuan doesn't sound offended though, nor so serious, given he lets out a small laugh. If anything, he is curious about who this man is.
...And what exactly is his relationship with Solomon. ]
Though, you'll have to tell me about him later.
[ But, they're quite a bit occupied with another and he doesn't want to have thoughts about some other man, right now. Only Solomon who is right before his very eyes. ]
You and I would not be in this situation if you did, Jing Yuan.
[He rolls up one of his sleeves past the elbow. Seal after seal after seal, until Asmodeus's seal is visible against the outer curve of his upper arm.
It's not a man Jing Yuan has to worry(?) about. It's a demon.]
No need for comparisons. Asmo and I have a very old and complicated relationship.
[And that's as far as he needs to leave it, rolling his sleeve back down. As far as his condition?]
Go to the Nectar district. Find something, anything you like... so long as it makes you feel the same way you do now at the thought of it. Push your comfort zone a little, if you'd like.
Mm, I find myself hardly surprised at hearing that.
[ Jing Yuan replies in agreement, given the demon's title, and then watches Solomon reveal the seal, which reminds him of how many are written upon his skin. It takes him back to their previous conversation at that game about his contracts...and he ensures he does not dwell too hard on it for the moment.
Even if he is never less than amazed about it; if he lets his mind wander too far he will get too caught up in the man for another reason entirely. So, he nods at the rest, evidently content with the explanation because there had been at least a beginning level of curiosity present. As for the condition in question, he closes his eyes momentarily, a huff escaping him then.
The smile may be a little too easy, but any smile looks good on Solomon's face. Much like that smug and defiant look not too long ago. ]
I see. That should be easy enough.
While it is true that I might have something already in mind, I don't believe it hurts to look around to see if something else tickles my fancy, as it were...in either case, whatever I decide to bring you certainly will know soon enough. So that naturally we can discuss its...'use'.
[Pff. Still so serious... it really does remind him more of Barbatos than Asmo by far.]
Now, now, don't tilt your hand too far into my sights~
[That's just giving him far too much to work with to be a Problem later. Is Jing Yuan truly such a planner even for matters like this? Well! Maybe he really could use a lesson in the joys of spontaneity... or perhaps just losing a little of that need for control.
Like a switch going off, Solomon's mood tilts right back as if their little encounter hadn't just taken such a deeply sensual turn, lightly sliding himself off Jing Yuan's lap as he calls for his broom. Theres a lot for him to do and not much time to do it, and leaving Jing Yuan to stew in his want for a little longer might just make it all the more interesting.
As he lightly kicks his broom up to his outstretched hand, his other palm slides back under Jing Yuan's jaw, a careful tilt of his gaze up as Solomon seats himself on his broom just so with one leg crossing the other. No need to show the world his current condition, even if it isn't too noticeable just yet.]
Sundown, then. Don't mind for the details. I'll take care of the rest.
...
Be gentle to your heart until then, Jing Yuan. Can you give me that much for now?
Considering my track record, I think that's impossible.
[ Jing Yuan says somehow both lightly and bluntly at the same time, even if he doesn't really like bragging, but he can always manage it if it is in a playful manner. As for spontaneity...sincerely absolutely good luck; Solomon has seen what spontaneous has looked like on Jing Yuan though, and that so far has been mostly confined to his actions in the forest. So it isn't impossible. Though the results may be dubious (but hey who doesn't enjoy a bit of the unexpected in the bedroom, just a little?)
As it is, Jing Yuan watches Solomon change gears without batting an eyelid, representing how truly a mostly unflappable man he is in most circumstances. He had already decided himself to honor the 'later' and he is a very, very patient man. Even if he is in the expected twilight years of his life.
He will even tilt his head — even after the other does it, but this time just a minute movement to the side — in the temporary grip Solomon has on his chin, but happily as he looks back at the other. There's a small pause at the ask, because that sure is a request. But he answers regardless...perhaps his eyes even crease in further amusement at the way Solomon crosses his legs but he doesn't make comment. He is not a crass man. ]
I shall endeavor to do exactly that. I wouldn't want to worry you so, as like I said before about wrinkles...but, ah I think you remember that too, don't you?
[ There's a mission ahead, though, so who knows? But that still is some ways off, and Jing Yuan will do his best despite the way he is back to apparent usual playful self (not that it really changed much. He thinks of himself as playful even if he speaks formally and is thinking a mile a minute.) After that, he will bid him farewell until next time, so there's a wrap!!
(As for him, he's going to linger up here for reasons.) ]

As for the other hand still within Solomon's hair, Jing Yuan moves that out of it to downwards in order tug at Solomon's high collar to expose the skin as he leans forward... ]
...Though, I wonder if I should warn you in the same way, given what you just did? Would I be wrong to?
[ Jing Yuan's words are teasing, more than anything. Then, he's moving to press his lips against the exposed soft skin of Solomon's neck — not to bite, but still only to suck at it none-so-gently right after. All is fair, right? ]

Get a hold of yourself, sorcerer.]

As soon as Jing Yuan's mouth frees from him, Solomon's hand raises to gently press against Jing Yuan's lips, to give them a slight amount of distance as he backs off his lap just slightly. He's a little breathier now, though what tinge of color he may lack for now is made up for by the heat now heavy in his eyes.]
Not even a dialogue for me, General? What a poor warning.
[It's not serious, of course. But he does let the silence sit thick, a slow trace of his fingertips over those warm, warm lips.]
...
I'm sorry. Don't misunderstand. I don't mean to scare you off from this. Perhaps indulgence could do us some good... should we both desire it.
[And yet the quiet sits. A moment of letting the simmer remain a simmer, keeping it from boiling over too far, too fast.]
I don't ask for your heart now, Jing Yuan, when I'm not ready to give you mine. I don't ask for your feelings or desires, beyond what you wish to share. I don't wish you to give yourself completely in this moment that is difficult for you. So don't bring any more of yourself than you feel you must.

A lonely night, for lonely souls, in privacy. Not here.]

But, he can give himself into a passionate night with the one he cares so dearly about; where thoughts do not make either one of them freeze, where they throw away all worries aside, and let their actions speak for themselves. To have their bodies meet one another in a heated dance, meant for only the two of them.
Yes...he is most certainly interested in following through indeed, and he lets himself fall deeply into the idea, holding back a shudder of anticipation. Though, Jing Yuan raises a hand to ghost fingers gently against one of the other male's cheeks, albeit briefly. The desire lies stark, yet deep within his golden eyes, like a pair of dual suns lit alight during an obscene solar flare. ]
I shall arrive at that place to find you. So, let us indeed continue this indulgence not here and indeed elsewhere...until we both have achieved a mutual satisfaction.

[Says the pot to the kettle.
He chuckles lightly as his face tilts up; a little defiant, a little smug.]
Do you view me as a military mission, Jing Yuan?
Or would you say it to me again in less thoughtful terms?
no subject
[ Jing Yuan points out, bluntly.
As for the other questions, he arches an eyebrow, though with all of his fluffy hair it can potentially be difficult to see. ]
I'm afraid I'm incapable of phrasing this in a less thoughtful manner. It simply would not be who I am...and as for your other question, I would say that would not be quite all that accurate.
That said, I wonder what makes you provide these inquiries at all. Is it because I'm a military man? [ His lips curl upwards, mischievous smile on his face. ] Ah...or could it be that I have left you in such shocking, pleasant surprise you thought of such intriguing questions to lay before me with such a captivating expression on your face?
no subject
[Wow! 0.5 stars for not taking a joke, Jing Yuan. No rizz. Well, okay, tiny bit better at the end there, he tried to stick the landing, but still! He prompted the man so smoothly to just talk sexy to him and it went straight over his head...
Solomon looks almost disappointed as he sighs, lips pursed in a thin pout and arms crossing in front of his chest.]
Mmm. We need to work on that flirting of yours.
no subject
...Oh? What a pity that I have made you think so.
[ He definitely caught the joke in there, but his delivery may have not been the best. But, no matter, Jing Yuan does not see it as an issue.
He reaches on over again, fingers brushing against Solomon's cheek once more; the action fond and affectionate, brief, catching along hair strands framing his face, before settling down. ]
Though, I had the opportunity to witness this new expression of yours, even if I would rather not make you pout all that often. Yes, I would rather not be the cause of wrinkles on your face, of all people.

[He loves Asmodeus dearly in his own way, but also: please, don't be like Asmo. Please, dear god.
Quip aside, he sighs deeply as he leans into that touch, missing it when it lowers. Ah, it all feels electric after so much stimulation... when was the last time he felt like this?]
I lost my ability to age in my twenties, General. If a failed attempt at childish flirting gave me creases to show my age after all this time, I really would be destined for the grave.
I'll accept the grievance, but only on one condition.
no subject
...I jest, of course. I believe you can leave such concerns behind you. I won't ever sound too much like him, I'm sure.
[ Jing Yuan doesn't sound offended though, nor so serious, given he lets out a small laugh. If anything, he is curious about who this man is.
...And what exactly is his relationship with Solomon. ]
Though, you'll have to tell me about him later.
[ But, they're quite a bit occupied with another and he doesn't want to have thoughts about some other man, right now. Only Solomon who is right before his very eyes. ]
Now, what is this condition of yours?
no subject
[He rolls up one of his sleeves past the elbow. Seal after seal after seal, until Asmodeus's seal is visible against the outer curve of his upper arm.
It's not a man Jing Yuan has to worry(?) about. It's a demon.]
No need for comparisons. Asmo and I have a very old and complicated relationship.
[And that's as far as he needs to leave it, rolling his sleeve back down. As far as his condition?]
Go to the Nectar district. Find something, anything you like... so long as it makes you feel the same way you do now at the thought of it. Push your comfort zone a little, if you'd like.
[His smile is a little too easy.]
Just make sure to bring it with you.
no subject
[ Jing Yuan replies in agreement, given the demon's title, and then watches Solomon reveal the seal, which reminds him of how many are written upon his skin. It takes him back to their previous conversation at that game about his contracts...and he ensures he does not dwell too hard on it for the moment.
Even if he is never less than amazed about it; if he lets his mind wander too far he will get too caught up in the man for another reason entirely. So, he nods at the rest, evidently content with the explanation because there had been at least a beginning level of curiosity present. As for the condition in question, he closes his eyes momentarily, a huff escaping him then.
The smile may be a little too easy, but any smile looks good on Solomon's face. Much like that smug and defiant look not too long ago. ]
I see. That should be easy enough.
While it is true that I might have something already in mind, I don't believe it hurts to look around to see if something else tickles my fancy, as it were...in either case, whatever I decide to bring you certainly will know soon enough. So that naturally we can discuss its...'use'.
[ Just don't think he'll bring a whip, Solomon~
Only, you know, his army of aphrodisiacs. ]
no subject
Now, now, don't tilt your hand too far into my sights~
[That's just giving him far too much to work with to be a Problem later. Is Jing Yuan truly such a planner even for matters like this? Well! Maybe he really could use a lesson in the joys of spontaneity... or perhaps just losing a little of that need for control.
Like a switch going off, Solomon's mood tilts right back as if their little encounter hadn't just taken such a deeply sensual turn, lightly sliding himself off Jing Yuan's lap as he calls for his broom. Theres a lot for him to do and not much time to do it, and leaving Jing Yuan to stew in his want for a little longer might just make it all the more interesting.
As he lightly kicks his broom up to his outstretched hand, his other palm slides back under Jing Yuan's jaw, a careful tilt of his gaze up as Solomon seats himself on his broom just so with one leg crossing the other. No need to show the world his current condition, even if it isn't too noticeable just yet.]
Sundown, then. Don't mind for the details. I'll take care of the rest.
...
Be gentle to your heart until then, Jing Yuan. Can you give me that much for now?
no subject
[ Jing Yuan says somehow both lightly and bluntly at the same time, even if he doesn't really like bragging, but he can always manage it if it is in a playful manner. As for spontaneity...sincerely absolutely good luck; Solomon has seen what spontaneous has looked like on Jing Yuan though, and that so far has been mostly confined to his actions in the forest. So it isn't impossible. Though the results may be dubious (but hey who doesn't enjoy a bit of the unexpected in the bedroom, just a little?)
As it is, Jing Yuan watches Solomon change gears without batting an eyelid, representing how truly a mostly unflappable man he is in most circumstances. He had already decided himself to honor the 'later' and he is a very, very patient man. Even if he is in the expected twilight years of his life.
He will even tilt his head — even after the other does it, but this time just a minute movement to the side — in the temporary grip Solomon has on his chin, but happily as he looks back at the other. There's a small pause at the ask, because that sure is a request. But he answers regardless...perhaps his eyes even crease in further amusement at the way Solomon crosses his legs but he doesn't make comment. He is not a crass man. ]
I shall endeavor to do exactly that. I wouldn't want to worry you so, as like I said before about wrinkles...but, ah I think you remember that too, don't you?
[ There's a mission ahead, though, so who knows? But that still is some ways off, and Jing Yuan will do his best despite the way he is back to apparent usual playful self (not that it really changed much. He thinks of himself as playful even if he speaks formally and is thinking a mile a minute.) After that, he will bid him farewell until next time, so there's a wrap!!
(As for him, he's going to linger up here for reasons.) ]
