She nods a little and pressed a little kiss to his cheek. She tried being affectionate, but she wasn't much of physical affection unless she was pleasing her partner. Last night had been fairly quick though since she wanted to get back to her work. "My employer's deadline is coming up, so I need to have information in soon enough." She sighed deeply and rubbed her brow. Aleksandra hummed and pats his cheek gently. "Just science, darling. Come along." She guides him back to the room. "I need a shower and a nap doesn't sound too horrible." She didn't like naps all that much, but it was nice curling up against Adder.
Adder shook his head a little, but followed along. “Want me to help you with that?” he asked, innocently enough especially when you remembered that he rarely meant sex when he referenced such things. But, he was still fond of physical intimacy and helping a person wash off wasn’t such a bad way of connecting with them. How Aleksandra took the statement could go any way, however. He let himself be led back to the bedroom, where he flopped down on the sheets stained with the activities of the previous night. “I’d say we both could use a shower, and a change of sheets. Also clothes for you because I think you’ve been wearing those for a week and that’s bad.”
She glanced at him for a moment, her delicate brow twisting up slightly before she nods in thought. "Having you join me would be nice." She hummed thoughtfully. She nods a bit, "Your clothes should be finishing up, now that I think of it. But yes… A change of sheets and a shower would be a good idea." She walked to the fairly big bathroom beside the master bedroom, starting up a shower and grabbing some towels and setting them out. She tossed her clothes into a hamper settled by the sink, revealing her scarred back and thighs. She settles into the shower, waiting quietly for Adrien to join her. "Are you coming, love?"
“Uh, yeah. I’m coming,” he said, having no need to undress as that was already the state he was in he simply walked into the shower with Aleksandra, turning the water on to a temperature they both could tolerate, more Aleksandra than himself but it was the thought that counted even when he was ignoring his own comfort for her. He just did things that way, he was used to it from the moment his mother fell ill to the torturous years after her death. “This okay? You can adjust the water if you want I just, I’ve seen you setting it this way before so…”
She glances up slightly when the other moved into the room, smiling slightly as he joined her in the shower and hummed, "It's fine, Adder." She murmured quietly, running a long slender hand through his hair. She liked the water slightly warmer, but she wasn't too worried about it at the moment. She gazed up at the other in thought, before grabbing some soap and gently working it through his hair. "We should have a sit down and talk." She muttered mindlessly, her hands gentle along his scalp. "It's nothing bad, darling. But I've been noticing you hold yourself back when it comes to our relationship." She rubbed behind his ears before washing the soap out. She then grabbed the body wash, working on carefully cleaning his body. She seemed focused.
“O-oh, okay. Um, so is there anything I can do to be, like, more assertive or whatever you’re thinking of?” he asked, letting himself be washed, not really feeling brave enough to start helping Aleksandra. “Ally, am I doing something wrong? Because if you don’t want to be together anymore I get that. I’m kind of lame, after all, but if you just don’t feel it anymore I’m fine with going, as soon as I have my clothes.” he said, smiling but looking like he could cry. All his worst anxieties had come to fruition in this moment, he knew it.
Her eyes soften a little bit, and she tilts her head to the side. "Oh darling." Her voice was surprisingly gentle as she cupped Adrien's face, shaking her head. "No, no. You're not doing anything wrong, and I don't want you to leave." She coos softly. She rather loved his softer nature… It was positively delicious. "If anything I want you to be less assertive, dove." She hummed, her eyes flashing. "I've been wanting to top, love. Experiment a little." She assured gently. To be quite honest she simply wanted to bend him over and give him the time of his life. She hadn't voiced it since they hadn't talked much about sex, after all she was tied to her work. "Oh, darling. I've been abandoning you too much, haven't I." Her voice dripped with sympathy, of course she had left him alone to do her work. Work was extremely important, she was making breakthroughs after all. But she also vaguely reminded herself that taking care of her significant other was also important…
"Oh! Uh, sorry!" he flushed red in embarrassment. "Actually, if all you wanted to do was top you coulda told me. I had seen a lot of particular toys in your closet that time I went to get you a bathrobe so like, that could be fun! Honestly, I don't like having to think about sex so much when I'm doing it so that could be, uh," he stammered a bit, realizing what he was saying. "Good. But not now, if that's okay? I'm a bit spent from last night if I'm being honest, and you probably have a lot of work to do that I'm keeping you away from. Let's just clean off and put a pin in it for now."
She shook her head and smiled, it was a little one. A small hum leaving her throat. "No need to apologize, darling. You were simply voicing thoughts you had." She licked her lips a bit, looking pleased now. "Of course. You need to rest, and I have some work left to do. But this afternoon I should be free, so we can spend a little more time together." She assured gently. Gentle… She remembered how their mutual friend… Well in her case a business partner… Had told her to be a bit more gentle with a possible significant other. She was trying… But sometimes that sadistic edge would occasionally pop out.
“Right. I can’t wait,” he said, beginning to gently lather soap onto Aleksandra’s body, taking great care to avoid the more sensitive and intimate parts of her body, the parts he’d learned well. “And honestly I really only top because I’m taller than people and they assume that’s what I want. Thanks for um, like, letting me just be myself with you. You can read me pretty well, you know.” he smiled, giving her a gentle but firm neck massage.
She smirked a bit at that, a content hum leaving her lips. She allowed Adder to wash her off, nodding a bit. She tilts her head forward at the massage, "Yes, well. After years of researching people… You get quite good as guessing." She groans softly, a relieved sigh leaving her lips. "And you are a master at massages." A sweet and happy sigh left her lips. "And even if you are taller, it's quite fun for me to see what makes your body tick. No matter your height, it shouldn't determine your position in bed." She clicked her tongue. She rather liked taking over stronger men. It gave her a rush of power that she so rarely felt unless she was experimenting.
Adder nodded meekly, feeling a little scared by the statement before last. See what makes his body tick, hmm? Well, that was very mad scientist-y of her. “Yeah, okay. Sounds good. So, eight-o-clock tonight? I really wanna see what you have in mind for me.” Adder rinsed off himself and Aleksandra, then stepped out of the shower and grabbed towels for them to dry off with as he shut off the water. “Y-you should probably get back to work.” he said, rubbing at his hair with a cloth.
She smiled a little bit at the sight, it was rather cute to see the smaller… more vulnerable points of Adder. She nods in satisfaction, "Yes… I think that will work. Eight o'clock, sharp." She stepped out of the shower, quickly rubbing the towel through her hair before wrapping the towel around her body. "I probably should. My deadlines are coming closer…" She hummed and pressed a quick kiss to Adder's cheek. "You're welcome to roam around the house and do as you please, you know the rules, my labs are strictly off limits… I don't want you getting hurt…" She hummed softly, pressing a quick kiss to his shoulder. "Your clothes should be dry by now. Once I get dressed, I'll get the sheets in the laundry rooms, get them taken care of." She quickly got dressed.
Adder nodded. He went to the laundry room to find his clothes, which now smelled exactly like the same soap Aleksandra used. It reminded him of her, and that… made him miss her, honestly. He slipped on the lengthy taupe chenille skirt first, then the galaxy leggings underneath, and finally a simple white top. None of the outfit really matched, but Adder liked the way it made him look. All over and all himself, just the way he liked it.
She got dressed as well, her usual lab coat and whatnot. She replaced the sullied sheets with cleaner ones that smelled like her… Lavender and roses, with a hint of whiskey. She hummed and moved into her lab. She wondered faintly if she should get an animal for Adder… someone to keep him company while she was away in her labs… or just away in general. Currently, she wasn't testing animals, so she had them safely tucked away. She was currently working on perfecting a gene process… It was hard to focus until she got into her zone. She had turned up the temperature in the house so that Adder wasn't cold and there were plenty of things to do in her wonderful home.
Adder sat around, waiting like a kicked puppy for Aleksandra to come back. He knew she had work, it was just… depressing, being alone. He made some breakfast, and ate it alone, then spent the rest of the day watching cartoons and being bored. Soon, eight-o-clock came, and Adder was still bored. He’d been reading through most of Aleksandra’s library but a lot of her books were dense medical texts that bored him to death.
When 8 o'clock hit, Aleksandra put her experiments down. She hummed and folds her lab coat over her chair and moves out of her lab, brushing herself off and running a hand through her hair. "Adder, darling." Her voice was silky smooth, warm with affection. Today had been a good day. She had figured enough out. Her employer would be pleased, thus she could spend more time with her darling Adder. She hummed as she walks quietly through the hallway.
Adder looked up. “Oh, Lexie! I almost, uh, I almost thought you’d forgotten…” he mumbled, walking over to her. “So, how do we want to do this then? I mean, if you’re too tired we can skip it but I would like to do it, don’t get me wrong, and um, um, um, I’m just uh, it’s been… I missed you.” he stammered, moving closer to Aleksandra and nuzzling into her hair.
Aleksandra pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek, "Oh darling…" Her eyes soften and pressed a quick kiss to the others lips. "We'll take it easy first, just explore for now. I missed you too, baby." She played with his hair and hummed. She gently guides him to the bedroom. She glanced at the other, her eyes softening. "I know I've been distant darling and I'm so sorry, but my experiments are almost over which means I can spend more time with you." She assures. Her voice was silky smooth, and warm. Her accent grew thicker, more seductive.
Adder’s cheeks grew warm as he was pulled to the bedroom, and he waited for Aleksandra to make the first move. He’d never do anything without her say-so, and especially in situations like these. “Lex, I hate to rush you but um…” he looked down, and blushed even more, “well, you can see for yourself how excited I am for this, ha.”
