To Glam's continued delight, more kissing sessions happen on the following days (when they're feeling like a boy). They haven't met her parents as her official boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever yet, and don't mind it too much.
News about Purity's escape surprises exactly no one, but the Protectorate's reputation suffers a blow because of the attack; after all, the heroes were beaten on their home turf. The PHO forums are abuzz, though rumors of Glam's death at the hands of Hookwolf (probably started by same) prove largely unfounded.
And Glam really should get to their webisodes and start building a steadier rep. And that's (one of the reasons) why they're in Lorica's workshop a few days later.
"So what should I do? I haven't posted anything since Purity, should probably make this more of a habit."
"Variation?" A few more objects with similar functions appear. "I like variation. And there are many different ways of doing the same thing. But, hmmm, underlying it all, I think the power-and-control thing, plus the everything-pleasurable thing, probably cover it all. Anything else I explained would probably just be new applications and combinations of those things."
And then she ties his hands together behind his back.
"What's going on in your head?" she murmurs against his spine.
"A-at the moment pretty much just white noise. Well, maybe pink noise. Or maybe some other color. ...also the exclamation points. And. Wild imagination."
She kisses his shoulderblade and tugs him by his tied hands over to his bed and pushes him to flop thereupon.
The kisses cause more shuddering, and then he flops, looking up at her in what probably is the aforementioned way she likes.
He gets a kiss on the mouth and some hands roaming around in shirtless locations.
Hm. If she doesn't tell him what she's aiming for how hard is it to get him to swear? That might be an interesting benchmark.
In that case it's a harder goal. Not that it's impossible, but, you know, she'll have to do some exploring.
Ooh. Yes. Yes, she's on the right track. If she manages to surprise him, she'll draw a "Ssshiiiiiiit," though mostly she'll hear her name a lot. Both her cape name and her real name, though the former happens more often.
It might be surprising if she, say, decides to suddenly bite down rather hard on his ear, mightn't it?
Yes! Yes it might! There are both verbal and nonverbal expressions of surprise and appreciation.
