Bella likes gentle little nibbles. Most especially on the neck. And the insides of her wrists. If he's being thorough about his empiricism.
He is being thorough as fucking hell! Bella can have all the gentle little nibbles her heart desires.
It is not. Indeed it is not. Snuggle snuggle squirm happy little noises.
"Mmmm." Bella squirms closer. This proves topologically difficult. She does it anyway.
"Why do people ever do stuff that's not this," he laughs.
+Cause if we did, where would we get our food and shelter and music and whatnot?+
After some time spent exchanging snuggly kisses, Brilliance declares, "I am gonna take off my pants now," and does that. Also his shoes, while he's at it.
Bella's still wearing shoes too. That's dumb when one is on a picnic blanket for any purpose at all. She toes them off. And is half-helpful half-obstructive with the pants project.
Help and obstruction are pretty much equally welcome, as long as they both involve her touching him! Snuggly.
Snuggly indeed. It is an obnoxious feature of topology that two convex solids cannot be in complete surface contact. She is going to try to route around that annoying bit of math, like so.
