Brigid awoke in the woods near her house.

It wasn't the first time she'd done so, not here and not at home. Being so connected to the Earth meant that often she'd hike in the outdoors and sometimes rest herself against a tree and fall into a nap, or even full sleep.

This was, though, the first time she'd awakened at the sun's rise, naked as the day she was born, with no knowledge of how she'd gotten there.

"Right then. Somethin's more than a little off with ye, lass," she told herself even though there was no one around to hear her but the trees.

There was something else off, or maybe on was a better word for it. She felt rested, truly rested, for the first time in weeks. As she sat, then stood up and stretched, Brigid did a little self-inventory and smiled. Gone was the nagging fatigue, the fuzziness in her mind. Instead, there was a feeling of being able to take on anything that came her way.

She laughed and dashed for the water for a quick ocean swim as the sun cleared the horizon. She'd revel in the water a bit, change, then head in to the shop. Her fingers nearly itched to get to her clay, to see what it would tell her to create today.

Find Brigid either running/swimming naked near her house, or later at her shop bent over her wheel

Brigid toasted him with her mug and grinned over the top of it, remembering all too clearly how his magic felt and able to imagine what it would be like on full power. "I can't imagine ye would have complaints, no. And I'm willin t'guess that ye don't have any complaints about the payment demanded, either."

Robert toasted back and took a sip. The tea was excellent, which didn't surprise him in the least. Even if the company wasn't so great he'd find a reason to stop by just for the tea alone.

"None at all, I'm willing to get as good as I give."

[brigid_moran]

"Somehow, I don't doubt that a bit," Brigid replied, still sipping easily before pulling in another breeze from the window to cool her still heated skin.

[scaledtokill]

Robert could feel the breeze and assumed that it was something that she was doing, seeing as how it was quite that breezy outside. He wondered if she had similar control over all the elements.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think what I had done would leave such lasting effects."

[brigid_moran]

"Don't ye worry, s'not like I'm over here havin vapours or some bollocks like that," Brigid said with a wave of her hand, "I'm just feelin a bit of the flush still and movin th'air about helps. I've been somewhat off the past few weeks and feel m'self again for th'first time in an age. Or thought I did. Maybe I'm still more off than I thought."

[scaledtokill]

"There are more fun ways to deal with that feeling," Robert said, smiling as he took another sip of the tea. If she was going to take him up on his flirting she would have likely done so by now but she was so very fun to flirt with.

[brigid_moran]

"Aye, there are," Brigid commented, licking her lips lightly. "And I'm takin it that yer interested in explorin those other ways, are ye?"

[scaledtokill]

"It would be unkind of me to get you all hot and bothered and not offer a solution," he said, leaning forward a bit as he spoke. There was something about her eyes that were incredibly captivating, they were absolutely gorgeous. "And I can tell you feel very... Alive right now. Don't you just want to let yourself go?"

[brigid_moran]

Pointedly, Brigid reached up and touched the pulse point at her throat. "Aye, I am that. M'heart's beatin and m'lungs are pullin in all th'air I need. But somehow I'm thinkin that's not quite what yer meanin."

She leaned forward, just a little, letting her foot brush against his thigh. "Tell me, Jack. Are ye the romancin sort or are ye the type to just clear off a table and have yer way with a woman?"

[scaledtokill]

"I was thinking more along the lines of up against the wall," he said, shifting a bit in his seat so her foot brushed a bit higher. He could feel his heart beat a bit faster, the thrill of the potential fucking exciting him. That sort of rush was almost as addictive to him as the actual sex.

"Then heading to the bed for a slower, proper cool down."

[brigid_moran]

One eyebrow arched over soft blue eyes, even as her blood began to warm deliciously from his words and the implied actions. "Were ye now?" She licked her lips again, remembering the fine specimen of man that had walked out of the ocean just after she had. "I've always been fond of walls, m'self."

And couldn't she just picture those arms lifting her, positioning her, and...and it was all she could do to calm her breathing.

[scaledtokill]

"Of course, the wall doesn't lend itself to too much access to the rest of the body," he said, one hand slipping down to take hold of her foot, his magic curling up through her as he pressed his thumb to the arch of her foot, massaging it.

"But it can be great for getting friction to all the right areas, for that heated, no-holds-bared kissing..."

[brigid_moran]

Brigid's head leaned back as her eyes closed on a soft moan, his thumb doing dangerous things to her already heated blood, the magic she felt over her again, making her whole body tingle. There was a little alarm pinging in the back of her mind that had her looking over at him again. "I don't mind ye usin yer magic t'enhance. But if ye take m'will away from me, I will do what I can t'protect m'self. Understood?"

There was something dark in her eyes that said it probably wouldn't be pleasant for either of them, but that she'd do what she had to do.

[scaledtokill]

"I would never do anything like that," Robert reassured. There were some sirens who did that but it was a line that Robert would never cross, not just for sex anyway. He wasn't the most upstanding guy but he wasn't a monster, at least not like that. Besides, the look in her eyes made it clear that if he attempted to, he would regret the decision.

[brigid_moran]

Brigid nodded and relaxed into the wonder of his fingers on the arch of her foot and his magic move over and through her. "Jack," she sighed softly, shifting just a little in her seat. "Ye've got magic in yer fingers as well, don't ye?"

[scaledtokill]

"I've got it just about everywhere," he said, massaging her foot harder, working out any soreness there, pushing his magic up more fully through her. There were things that aroused Brigid, places to touch and words to say that if he spent enough time exploring her he'd know. But as it was he'd have to shortcut that delightful experimentation and manipulate those things directly.

[brigid_moran]

"Do ye now?" Brigid half-spoke, half moaned under the deft pressure of his fingers on her foot. "Are ye plannin on showin me or just talkin about it?"

The warmth in her blood was ramping up to a boil and needs were quickly outpacing any teasing banter they'd been tossing around since first meeting him.

[scaledtokill]

Robert took that less as a challenge and more as an open invitation. She was flirty and playful enough that assuming he could just give into his passion and desire wasn't something he could be sure of until just then. But now? Now he felt absolutely no worry as he swept her up and kissed her heatedly, giving in to urges he had felt ever since first seeing her in the water.

[brigid_moran]

Brigid barely managed a moan before his lips were on hers, her body pressed against warm, taut skin. She had a moment to wish she hadn't donned the flimsy sundress as it put even a thin barrier between skin to skin contact, but she had no doubt that Jack would see to that, and soon if the heat in his kiss was any indication. The fingers of one hand dove into his hair while her other lowered to caress the planes and angles of his chest.

[scaledtokill]

The kids was searing and filthy, pulsing over with the magic of his desire, flooding her with just how badly he wanted her, how much she drive him crazy. One hand reached down to slide up under her dress to cup her ass while the other ran through her hair, pulling her close.

"Damn you're intoxicating."

[brigid_moran]

Brigid pulled back, a purely feminine look of satisfaction in her heavy-lidded eyes. "Am I, then? Well. Here's hopin ye can handle yer drink, Jack," she purred and raised herself onto her toes to bring their lips together again in a fierce kiss. She reveled in the magic that heightened what his mouth had already started within her, oddly comforted that she could tell the difference between his influence and her own reactions. Comforted, and hotter than she'd been in a while.

[scaledtokill]

Robert kissed her again before pulling back long enough to pull her dress up over her head before his lips found her throat. Reaching down, he grabbed her legs with both hands and lifted her up so that she could wrap her legs around his waist.

"I guess you'll have to find out."

[brigid_moran]

Brigid laughed as her dress went flying, her legs wrapping easily around his waist. "Ach, I knew ye were a resourceful sort." She moved her body against his, the sensation of her breasts brushing his chest brought out a long purr of a moan and her head dropped back to give him better access to her throat.

[scaledtokill]

Robert nibbled along her neck, biting and sucking lightly, debating on whether or not he wanted to leave a mark on her. Part of him wanted to, her skin being so perfectly flawless.

"Just wait until you see what I do with a wall," he said, shifting her a bit so her ass pressed down against his cock before he moved forward and slammed her back up against the wall.

[brigid_moran]

The low purring only got louder when she felt him close to where she was beginning to need him like breathing. Her hips shifted as much as she could in her current position, trying to get closer when suddenly she felt them move, felt the wall at her back and tightened her legs around him. Heels digging into his ass, she fisted her hand in his hair and lowered her mouth to nip at his lower lip with his teeth.
