Ethan and Averi's Flat

[Averi Cheng]

Once they were dropped off, she headed upstairs with Claudius. She opened the door to her flat and stepped inside, leaving him room to enter. The flat was surprisingly bare so far. Though a bedroom could be seen from the entrance that did share the same issue. Her and Ethan hadn't really decided on just what furniture to purchase yet and with little time being spent at home anyway, there wasn't much need for it yet.

She took off her coat and hung it up on a rack. She wasn't wearing her usual attire and was much more covered up than usual, probably due to the cold. "Make yourself at home. Would you like something to drink?" She asked while making her way to the kitchen.

[Claudius DeGual]

After stepping in he remained near the door holding her things that she had boughten from the date at IKEA.

The place was barren to say the least although what Averi did have out seemed very expensive or very well made. "Nice place," he said in more of a question than a statement.

He was always taught never to accept anything when in someone's house. It gave off the appearance of being desperate. "No thank you Averi. Where shall I place your things?" He was going to ask if he could put them on her bed but knew that going into a lady's bedchamber without being invited was socially unacceptable.

[Averi Cheng]

"You sure? It's just a drink." She smiled. "PPleeasse?" She held up a bottle of wine, shaking it a little in his direction. "Yes. On my bed is fine. Thank you."

[Claudius DeGual]

Claudius didn't really feel like drinking but it was the way she asked that made him say, "I suppose one drink would be alright."

He walked over to her bed trying not to examine her room, although he wanted too, and placed her stuff lightly on the bed.

[Averi Cheng]

Her room wasn't too crazy looking. It would of probably been more so if they actually brought her things over. Her room had a queen sized bed with dark red bedding. The frame of the bed along with the matching, dressers, night stand, etc were all high gloss black. Some of the drawers and doors had mirrors on them and there was a long fully body mirror just by her closet. There was a smaller stand at the edge of her dresser that was a little cluttered. It had all sorts of smaller trinkets on it, probably things that meant something. There were also pictures. Mainly of her family. Some of her and Ethan now and when they were younger. A few of her at the orphanage as well.

She went ahead and poured them both a glass of wine then walked to her room, leaning against the door way. She just watched him silently as she took a sip of her wine.

[Claudius DeGual]

Not knowing that he was being watched he walked over to some of the pictures. "How cute," he said quietly to himself as he looked at some picture of her and some boy that he presumed was Ethan. As he glanced around at her pictures he admired how happy she seemed them.

As he turned around he was a bit startled, "Averi!"

[Averi Cheng]

She smirked, having going for trying to catch him offguard. She walked over to him and handed him the glass. "I'm sorry, though I did sort of want to scare you." She giggled before glancing over in the direction of the pictures.

"Just Brother and the rest of the family. Or what's left of it." She said while taking a seat on the edge of her bed.

[Claudius DeGual]

"Wanted to scare me?" He laughed and accepted the wine.

The smell of the wine was enticing and smell did not do the wines tastes credit. After he sipped it he said to Averi, "This wine is very agreeable to the palate."

He took another sip, "I am sorry to hear about your family. Although you still have your brother. I am sure he is glad to still have you as well." Even though Claudius had never meet her brother he was guessing that most families were alike. He eyed her on the bed but did not join Averi. Instead he remained by the pictures and observed more of them, "Which one is your mother and father?"

[Averi Cheng]

"Okay. Startle you then." She nodded in agreement. "We picked it up shortly after we arrived. I was a little surprised at how good it is."

She considered what Claudius said for a moment. "I'm sure he is. Me and him both know what it's like to not having families. I don't think either of us would be very pleased to start losing this one." She stood up at Claudius' question and walked over to stand beside he. She took a sip of her wine as she glanced over to photos before reaching down to take one off the second shelf.

"Here they are."

[Claudius DeGual]

He lent over a little to examine the picture she was pointing at. "You make up a handsome family." Claudius smiled at how he had actually met someone that was the 'rags to riches' type stories. "What type of business are your parents in?"

[Averi Cheng]

"Father overlooks a lot of companies that deal with automotive parts. That's the main source of income." She sat the picture back down then picked up one that was the entire family but from earlier. It looked like it was taken the day Ethan and Averi were both adopted.

She stared at that one for a moment with a smile. "So." She finished off her drinnk and grinned over in Claudius' direction. "You're so..forceful..and energetic in the Danger Room but now that we're here alone. You're so quiet and calm.." She set the glass down then set that hand on her hip.

"The bed is only a foot away Claudius."

[Claudius DeGual]

Claudius choked a little on his wine but got it down before looking very pathetic. "Oh yes. Earlier. I was very much in the moment. If I hurt you I am sorry."

He eyed the bed wanting to pick her up, throw her over his shoulder, and end up together on her bed.

[Averi Cheng]

"More like, found it enticing but don't worry your little head." She let her hand glide down over Claudius' arm, grasping at the glass to steal it away from him and set in on the dresser. She moved to stand in front of him. "I like it when things get alittle rough. Then again, you said that too..so."

He rested her other hand on his chest, slowly pushing him back towards the bed. "If you wish to have me so much then..you really shouldn't waste any moment taking me."

[Claudius DeGual]

Claudius shuffled backwards as he was being pushed.

A few more steps and he could no longer compose himself. Averi would find again that her arms would be grasped tightly by his. A moment later he brought his lips to hers and started to kiss her savagely. Possibly a few playful bites in between.

Claudius used some force to attempt to toss her onto the bed.

[Averi Cheng]

She let out a giggle of suprise as she fell onto the bed. Not willing to go alone though, as she fell she reached forward, grasping a good portion of Claudius' shirt in her hands to yank him down on top of her.

She leaned forward to return the kiss, with as much intensity as bestowed upon her. Her other hand quickly moving to undo his shirt.

[Claudius DeGual]

As he landed on the bed along with her, Claudius returned the forceful passionate kiss.

Soon Averi would feel a rough hand sliding underneath her dress and making its way up her leg. With each moment more of her thigh would be revealed to the warm air of the apartment. His other hand grabbed one of her wrist and pinned it to the bed. He said nothing but his eyes were wild with barbaric lust towards her.

[Averi Cheng]

The leg Clauduis' hand moving moving up found it's way wrapped tightly the lower portion of Claudius' body. Claudius' actions seemed to only fuel more of her desire. She finally gripped at his shirt and proceded to tear it off, making sure to get rid of each piece left hanging until his torso was bare.

[ FTB? ]

[Claudius DeGual]

As their two bodies met he whispered, "...Averi..."

[FTB ]

[Averi Cheng]

Averi sat up suddenly, giggling in delight while holding part of the comforter up in front of her. "Oh my.." She noticed herself in the mirror and used a hand to smooth out her hair some before looking over at Claudius.

[Claudius DeGual]

Claudius was on his stomach on top of her sheets with his face smothered in her pillow and his arms wrapped around it. Her movements woke him up, "Mm, Averi." He squinted at her since his glasses had been lost somewhere underneath her sheets during the wild passion that had just taken place.

"You do not need to fix your hair. I think you are as beautiful as ever," he said with an eye peering out from the pillow.

Rolling to the side he gently took one of her hands and kissed it.

[Averi Cheng]

She just smiled at him and watched him for a moment. "I'm glad you think so." She said while leaning in to kiss him gently on the lips, holding herself up with one hand. She pulled her hand away and reached under the sheets to pull out his Claudius' glasses. She looked them over to make sure they were okay.

"My. I'm surprised these aren't broken.." She said as she handed them to him.

[Claudius DeGual]

He returned the kiss.

The comment made Claudius smile, "I paid a little extra for more durability." He slide his glasses back on. Claudius rolled again but this time he ended up over Averi. He kissed her and ran his hand through her hair.

[Averi Cheng]

"Good idea." She smiled then laid back down when he rolled on top of her. She narrowed her eyes playfully at him.

"Wwhhhhaattt?" She asked, making sure to return the kisses.

[Claudius DeGual]

He said nothing but started kissing her neck. His intention was very clear as he pulled the sheets down a bit to let himself under.

[Averi Cheng]

"Mmm." She smirked and let go of the sheets until he was back inside them before reaching around to pull the sheets snuggly around the both of them. She expected nothing less honestly with all the energy Claudius probably gathered.

[Claudius DeGual]

Pausing he brought his face back up to hers, "I do not know if I should tell you this but Averi you are my first." His face looked worried but his hand kept stroking her soft hair.

[Averi Cheng]

Oh dear.. If that seemed to bother her at all, Claudius wouldn't be able to tell. She placed a hand the male's cheek, running her thumb over it. "Then allow me to be the first to tell you, you're rather amazing then." She said and sealed her words with a kiss.

[Claudius DeGual]

Once the kiss was released he responded, "Kind words from a kind lady." He slide his body off of hers and rested on his side as he admired her beauty.

"I am unsure how to get home without a warm shirt. I suppose it is best that it was my shirt and not my pants," he chuckled at that thought.

[Averi Cheng]

Claudius saying that made her grin. She could think of plenty times she wasn't exactly kind. She smiled. "Oh yes. That would be my fault wouldn't it.." She said as he placed her hand to her chin. "I'm sure we can find your something to wear on your way back." She said, all the while leaning over the side of the bed. She had grabbed her bra and lifted it up slowly in Claudius's direction.

She giggled. "No. Course not." She reached over to her night stand and picked up her cell phone. "I'll have Regenal get you something real quick."

[Claudius DeGual]

He raised an eye brow at the bra, "It is too lacy anyway."

Claudius moved behind her. He placed a hand over on the cell phone, "No need to do anything quickly." As he was talking another hand slipped over her waist. He started to kiss her neck from behind, "Besides Regenal is off buying a soda. Unless you wish for me to leave."

[Averi Cheng]

She closed her eyes, allowing herself to enjoy the kisses. "Oh. There's no rush really.." Though I probably shouldn't let you stay too much longer. She placed her hand on the back of his and gave it a soft squeeze. "Was just going to have it ready."

She let herself just relax in his embrace. There was something very soothing about his actions. She sat the cellphone back down on the nightstand.

[Claudius DeGual]

Claudius said nothing as he gently pulled her back down to the bed, "Let us enjoy a little more time together."

(Ftb? )

[Averi Cheng]

Averi put up any resistance as she was pulled back. "Mm..as much as you'd like." She said in a whisper.

( FTB )

[Ethan Cheng]

((Issue 3 Downtime))

After a brief elevator ride, Ethan walked up to the door of his flat and unlocked it, throwing open the door. Though it was in the building as Dom's flat, it was located a few floors down and accessed through a different entrance. It wasn't as equipped with quite as many state-of-the-art electronic toys, either.

[Victoria Valentine]

"Very nice," Victoria said, looking around. "I do think that if I decide to move off campus, this is the building I'll move to."

[Ethan Cheng]

"Yeah, I like the location. It's well laid-out too." The loft had been more completely furnished since the last time a visitor had come in. The main room looked mostly western, but there were just enough Chinese elements thrown in to still feel like home for the Chengs.

"Can I get you anything?" Not something he'd usually ask, but these were special circumstances...

[Victoria Valentine]

Victoria smiled. "No, I'm still fine from dinner, thank you," she said, stepping in front of Ethan and draping her arms over his shoulders, loosely wrapping them behind his neck.

[Ethan Cheng]

"Mmm, well I was going to ask, 'not even something to drink?,' but I'd hate to ruin a good thing." He smirked a little, placing his hands against her sides, just above her hips.

[Victoria Valentine]

Victoria smiled. "Yes, in fact, I would. Red wine, dry, but not too dry, slightly chilled, although I can handle that part... after we're done," she answered, then leaned in and kissed him.

[Ethan Cheng]

"Mmm...that does...sound nice...after we're done." One of his hands explored upwards, pressing against her bare upper back, while the other moved down. "So...how is your sense of touch when when you're doing stuff like...this?," he asked, obviously a bit distracted.
