WHEN: January 8th
OPEN TO: Raleigh
WARNINGS: will update if necessary
STATUS: closed

Hurrying up the front steps to Raleigh's home, Sansa felt a little like a smuggler as she thought about the wrapped object that she had clutched close against her chest. The book, one of the presents she had received, was currently wrapped up in a piece of fabric. That was exactly how she had kept it since sneaking it into her home and trying to keep her brothers or her sister from ever finding it. After a couple of close calls, one including the time her dog found it and dragged it out, she had decided that she needed another place to hide it.

She wasn't sure yet that asking Raleigh to hide it was the best idea that she'd ever had but she was sure that he would listen to her if she asked him to never unwrap it. Plus, it wouldn't be for long. Only until she had time to talk to another friend that she trusted who she hoped would hide the book for her too. That or maybe she would just burn it, just to be safe.

Knocking on Raleigh's front door, she hesitated before opening the door and letting herself inside his house. "Raleigh?"

She called out a couple more times but there was no answer. Chewing at her bottom lip, she looked around for a place to put the book down before turning around and hurrying out again. She had a feeling that he was down by the river checking the lines, so she was going to check there first. She would just have to remember to tell him about the package and not to open it when they got back. It seemed like a simple enough plan as long as she didn't get distracted or forgetful.

Making her way down to the river, she was relieved when she finally spied him working just as she thought he would be at this time of the day. Slowing down, her features softened as she watched him, enjoying the view for a moment before lifting her hand and waving.

While Shae had told her a great many shocking things about the act of sex between a man and a woman, Sansa still isn't prepared for the sensations that rush through her when Raleigh touches her. She blushes when he moves her arm but then her breath hitches at the feel of him touching her breast. Looking down, she watches as her nipples harden at the same time she feels more heat gathering between her legs.

Squirming a bit, she nods and answers somewhat breathlessly. "Yes."

"Good. I don't want you to be afraid. And you can tell me to stop if you want to, all right? I don't mind," he assures her. As long as she knows that and that there isn't pressure, he's happy to keep touching and kissing her. Otherwise? They've got to stop.

He lowers his mouth to her breast, lips tracing the path his fingers just took.

She wants to ask if he is sure that he doesn't mind but she is almost scared to ask. She doesn't want to ruin the moment between them but there is still a moment of nervous energy since she has always heard that men find it impossible to stop when in the middle of sex. Not that she realizes yet that there is more to sex than what she has heard.

Her breath shudders gently at the feel of his mouth on her breast, sending a pleasing jolt of heat through her as she bites her lip and slides her fingers into his hair again.

"Do you like that?" Raleigh thinks she does, based on how she reacts to it but he doesn't want to keep pressing forward if he hasn't found something she wants. Something she needs.

"Do you want me to do it again?"

Her cheeks were still flushed as she looks at him again, nodding her head as she reminds herself that she needs to breathe a little. Then he asks if she wants him to do it again and she squirms, barely needing a second to think about it before she is nodding again.

Raleigh lowers his head and kisses her breast again, lips sealing around her nipple and teasing it just a little with the edge of his teeth before he soothes it with his tongue.

She's so reactive to everything he does and when he lifts his other hand to cup and tease the other breast, he hopes he's not overwhelming her.

There is another hitch to her breath before she muffles the sound by biting her bottom lip again, her eyes fluttering closed against the vision of him drawing her nipple between his lips. It borders on being overwhelming and not enough all at the same time. She wants and craves as she keeps him close, squirming as the sensations continue to overlap.

"Raleigh." There is a point where her nipples feels almost too sensitive without him doing anything else. Opening her eyes, she looks down at him while rubbing a foot lightly against his leg.

"Mmm?" Raleigh lifts his head to look at her, eyes dark with desire and want. It's been a long time for him, honestly, and he knows he has to go slowly with Sansa. Even this is probably bordering on too far.

"Do you need me to stop? I can stop, I promise. Any time you need me to stop I'll stop."

"No." Her voice is soft and husky with arousal while she squirms beneath him a little. She feels hot and needy but it's hard to stay still. Sliding her hands over his shoulders and arms, she bites at her bottom lip before finally tugging at him to move up again.

"I need...something." She tells him, leaning up to greedily brush her lips against his. As she does, she rocks her hips up against his, very aware of his arousal though it's not enough to make her shy anymore. It just makes her...curious.

Raleigh huffs a soft breath against her skin. He knows what she needs, or suspects it, but he's not really sure if they ought to go that far. He lifts his head and kisses her mouth again, soft and sweet.

"What you need means I'm going to have to go a lot further than I intend to, Sansa."

Sansa feels her cheeks heat further as she drops her head back against the pillow, staring at the ceiling above them as she considers his words. She isn't sure that she is quite ready to go there yet either, at least not in her head.

"Then we should probably stop." She presses her lips together, knowing it's the right thing to do even as she feels disappointed over the idea that he would have to stop touching her.

"We should," Raleigh agrees. "If it makes you feel any better at all, though, I don't want to stop."

Actually, the last thing he wants in this world is to stop and Sansa has him so turned around he doesn't know which way is up. He flops down beside her, on his back, and gives her a sheepish grin.

"Someday. I promise."

She smiles softly when he reassures her that he doesn't want to stop and she shifts to roll onto her side when he flops down onto his back beside her. Shyly, she reaches out to slide her hand over his chest.

"I don't think you realize how much it means that you're willing to stop." She murmurs softly, hiding her gaze by looking down as she plays her fingertips lightly over his skin. "Or how much you mean to me."

"You're starting to mean the world to me," Raleigh says. He lets his eyes drift shut when she touches him and just tries to enjoy it for what it is and not push for more. His heart is beating double-time and he knows, sometime in the near future, he's going to want and need more with Sansa. Still, he wants to take his time. It's meaningful for him, to take this step, and he wants her to be ready and not just going along with it to please him.

"I just want to take care of you as best I can. It's special to me, what we have and what we do together. I don't want to rush it."
