A quiet evening (Maxine) MATURE

[AUGUST WITT]

August could see her hesitation and her embarrassment from what he was telling her to do, but he noted those things didn't actually stop her from performing. She was getting off on his instruction as much as he was, and who knew, he might actually let her get off.

Her eyes came back to him and he watched the pink color continue to spread through her cheeks and down towards her neck. He was really getting to her, and that only heightened his own senses. It wouldn't be worth doing if she didn't enjoy it, but it was very clear that despite her look of humiliation she wanted this. Badly.

“Anything else?” she asked softly, cocking her head to the side with a smile, her eyes watching him almost adoringly for further instruction. It only made him hotter for her.. His smile was grim, his eyes smoldering. "Do you think I would have you stop there?" He asked and leaned back in his chair a little, reclining and relaxing as he watched her.

“I can’t wait to have my turn.” She gave a breathy giggle, reaching for her own wine. She was still throbbing, but it would ease in a couple minutes. Her eyes came to his as she smiled at him, her fingers twining in his gently. “Just say when.” Her voice was low and soft, sultry even with her sweet smile. Honestly, August had complete control over her and she was his to do with as he pleased. Before dinner, after dinner, Maxi didn’t care when he took his pleasure; it was his to take as he wished. She took a sip of her wine, savoring the sweet flavor as she held August’s hand. It was nice to do so even if there weren’t many people around to see it. Perhaps he was getting a little more comfortable with this public affection thing. She wouldn’t kiss him in public, but holding hands was a nice progression and more than enough to satisfy her desire to show the world just who he belonged to.

[AUGUST WITT]

“Just say when.” Her voice was low, soft and sultry and it made August smile gently in return. "I intend to." He told her softly, calming himself down. He held her hand a moment longer before pulling away and reaching for a piece of bread. He spread some bruschetta on top and then a slice of eggplant, taking a bite. He enjoyed these dinners with Maxine. He enjoyed having someone to take to dinner with him, someone he was comfortable with. He had once preferred getting to know the women he found randomly, but it was difficult to finish an evening out when he couldn't stand the company he kept. That wasn't the case with Maxine.

"Something tells me you haven't learned a lesson this evening, my dear." He said conversationally after he'd swallowed. The food wasn't what he was hungry for but it would do for not. "You enjoyed that far more than I expected." His tone was almost teasing now as he kept his gaze on her, never looking away. He didn't care to see what else was going on in the restaurant. Nothing else mattered to him. "So willing to please me.. I do enjoy that about you. Very much." He pushed the rest of the little bread in his mouth and then washed it down with the wine. He picked the bottle up and topped off both their glasses, more Maxine's than his. He wouldn't mind getting her a little tipsy this evening.

His mind drifted to earlier in the evening and when she had met his mother. The thought still irked him a little, but not much. She couldn't have known she was coming over, and she couldn't have done anything more to keep their relationship secret. "So what sorts of things will you be having me do now that you've roped me into your little rebellion?"

[MAXINE MCMANUS]

“I intend to.” Maxi smiled wider, her fingers giving August’s hand a light squeeze. He held her hand just a little longer, though, before he reached for some bread and she mimicked him. She was feeling how empty her stomach was and the antipasto would keep it from growling. Her fingers balanced the bread delicately as she spread bruschetta on it, but she left off the eggplant. She wasn’t a big fan of eggplant. The bread was just fine without it anyway and she could feel herself calming as she enjoyed the food. She noted how delicious the bruschetta was and hoped her dinner would be just as good. The wine complimented the antipasto and she let her eyes really take in the atmosphere as she ate. When she’d first met August, she felt weird being quiet around him. Now she was comfortable enough to sit in silence with him and still feel like she’d had the best conversation ever.

“Something tells me you haven’t learned a lesson this evening, my dear.” Her eyes came back to him, wide at first and then she grinned once she’d swallowed the food in her mouth. “You enjoyed that far more than I expected.” She giggled and shook her head with a shrug. “You’re right, I don’t think I learned the lesson you were trying to teach. I did learn, however, that I’m capable of such behavior.” Her smile was bright and amused, liking this playful banter she had with August. “So willing to please me…I do enjoy that about you. Very much.” She blushed and bit her lip modestly, actually quite excited by his words. Maxi loved to please him and the fact that he enjoyed that about her thrilled her. Every time she pleased him, it pleased her. Nothing pleased her more, actually, though since she’d started seeing August, he’d helped her explore more of what she liked. She finished her bread, watching August as he filled her glass. Obviously he was trying to get her liquored up again and she smirked a little. The last time she had been tipsy in front of him was the night they met; if it loosened her up then, she couldn’t imagine what she would allow him to do now that she was completely comfortable with him.

“So what sorts of things will you be having me do now that you’ve roped me into your little rebellion?” Maxi was reaching for her wine when a big smile crossed her face. “Ha! Oh, I’ve got plans for you, Mr. Witt. I’m sure you’ll be more than willing to help the cause.” Her smile was wicked as she brought her glass to her lips, narrowing her eyes playfully at the ceiling as she sipped and considered. “Hmmm…” she said, lowering her glass. “I could always have you do posters. Really glittery, flashy ones like the little girls do for Justin Bieber concerts…” Her eyes came back to his and she couldn’t help but laugh at his expression. It was the kind of laugh that could make her stomach hurt after a while, genuinely amused by the thought of him making girly posters. “Oh, I’m going enjoy being in charge for once.” Her gloating was playful and she laughed a little more before getting serious with a deep breath, but still smiling. “Okay, serious now. I could use some help coming up with flyers, other propaganda to pass out, get people riled and rallying. You don’t have to help me make them or anything, my friend Abby, the witch, she’s an artist and could probably create them, but I could use some help coming up with ideas to pitch. You know, Snow might have some lobbying work for you if you volunteered. Just a thought, but we could use as many people in the city’s government backing us up as possible. I’m sure if you talked to Eponine, she would be able to find out if you were interested.” The more she considered these things out loud, the more ideas she was coming up with. There were some good possibilities to take this high in the city’s government! Perhaps she had more of a mind for politics than she thought. She took another sip of wine, feeling herself loosening up just a little more.

[AUGUST WITT]

“Ha! Oh, I’ve got plans for you, Mr. Witt. I’m sure you’ll be more than willing to help the cause.” She was the one with the wicked smile and his eyebrows narrowed slightly. "Willing isn't the word I would use to describe myself, Ms. McManus." He grumbled bordering on annoyed and playful. He didn't like her taking the upper hand here, or anywhere. “Hmmm… I could always have you do posters. Really glittery, flashy ones like the little girls do for Justin Bieber concerts…” His lips were drawn into a thin line as his brows lowered deeply over his eyes. He didn't know who this Justin fellow was, but glittery posters were certainly something he wouldn't do. "Don't push me, Maxine." He threatened in a growl, letting her know he was displeased with her playful plans. He was aware she was only teasing, but he was already a little peeved he hadn't gotten his way concerning all of this. “Oh, I’m going enjoy being in charge for once.” He couldn't deny loving the sound of her laughter, but he kept his furious look on his face, making it clear he did not agree.

“Okay, serious now." She was still looking quite amused and proud of herself, but August tried to ignore it. "I could use some help coming up with flyers, other propaganda to pass out, get people riled and rallying." That didn't sound like something he was in the least interested in. He wasn't interested in any part of it, really. Sure, he wanted the Guardians free, but he was more interested in their rights and fighting politically for them.

"You know, Snow might have some lobbying work for you if you volunteered." August frowned and reached for his wine. The last thing he wanted to do was ask Snow personally to aid in the rally movements lead by the girl he already suspected August of having relations with. "I’m sure if you talked to Eponine, she would be able to find out if you were interested.” That was more manageable as far as August was concerned. He could deal with crawling to his cousin for work.

"I suppose I could speak with Eponine." He didn't like the idea of it but it was certainly the lesser of two evils. "Either way I hope you're pleased with yourself." He said bitterly though he wasn't entirely bitter. "In one night you've managed to get me involved in your peaceful little sideshow and met my mother. I didn't realize you were quite such a little weasel..."

[MAXINE MCMANUS]

“I suppose I could speak with Eponine.” Maxi nodded, taking another sip of wine with a smile. She liked the idea of August helping; he certainly had more experience lobbying than she did. She couldn’t understand why he was so reluctant to ask for Eponine’s help. From what she knew of the woman, she was pleasant, if not a little stuck-up. Then again, he was a little stuck-up, so she didn’t see what the issue was. She had a feeling it had something to do with his pride. “Either way I hope you’re pleased with yourself.” Maxi looked at him curiously. She was, but why should she be? “In one night you’ve managed to get me involved in your peaceful little sideshow and met my mother. I didn’t realize you were quite such a little weasel…” Maxi giggled now, shrugging her shoulders cutely. “Well, I did learn from the best.” She gave him a pointed look before she grinned, letting him know she was referring to him. He knew how to get what he wanted in his own way and she was getting better at getting what she wanted in return. She lifted her glass again with a little sigh. “I have to say, it has been a good evening.” Again she smiled at him, taking a sip of her wine. “And don’t be so sour about it. I’ll make it worth your while.” The soft promise was still hanging in the air, her smile secretive as the food arrived. Maxi smiled at the waiter as if they were discussing something completely innocent.

As August had promised, the food was delicious…and there was so much of it. Maxi knew she wasn’t going to eat it all, but she savored every bite of what she did eat. The sauce was creamy without being too heavy, the peppers were sweet and the mushrooms perfectly cooked and the chicken tender. It was like a little piece of heaven on a plate. They commented on the food and service and Maxi asked him what he was working on at work just by way of casual conversation as they enjoyed their meal. She could only get through half of her huge plate before she had to call it quits. It felt like her tummy was literally growing and she couldn’t possibly eat another bite. She continued to sip her wine, sitting back a little in her chair and letting her food settle. By now she felt slightly lightheaded, a little tipsy, but certainly not drunk. For her, she was just pleasantly loose.

“You were right, this place was great.” Her eyes wandered around the restaurant a little, a small smile on her lips. The heat of the fire, the glow of the wine, the heaviness she felt in her belly…she felt content as a cat and almost like she could fall asleep. Another part of her knew that now she was really going to feel content within the next few minutes; probably in the bathroom, unless he took her out to the parking lot. Either way, the knowledge that she would be getting very intimate with August was keeping her stimulated and awake for the moment. She smiled at him across the table, tilting her head to the side cutely. “So what else did you have planned for this evening? If I remember right, you said…something about having your way with me?” she said softly so only they could hear, giving a coy look of concentration before she bit her lip to try and hide the smile turning up the corners of her mouth.

[AUGUST WITT]

The food arrived and they continued to talk more easily. August watched her enjoy her meal and he did the same. As always, it was very good. Not too much of any one thing. He drank, ate and enjoyed his company. Neither of them were able to finish their meals and when the waiter came August had him wrap the leftovers. He didn't always want leftovers, but he knew he might be hungry later after round three or four with Maxine and it would make for a pleasant snack.

“You were right, this place was great.” She looked full and content and he liked that. It mirrored how he himself was feeling. "You'll find that I'm always right, Maxine." He teased back, though he genuinely believed his arrogant words. August was often right, at least in his own mind. She was smiling at him across the table, tilting her head to the side sweetly. “So what else did you have planned for this evening? If I remember right, you said…something about having your way with me?” She looked coy with her words and August wanted to shake his head at her. She was always ready. He loved that about her, but at the moment he was enjoying his fat dog blues. Still, even he wasn't able to resist her.

"The question is where to have my way with you." He was already forming plans in his mind, and no sooner had he finished speaking the waiter returned with his card and their packaged leftovers. August scribbled his signature on the little paper and then stood, reaching for their bag of food and waiting for Maxine. "I'll satiate you, don't worry my gazelle." He said softly as she stood, sliding his hand to the small of her back and leading her out of the small restaurant. He would fuck her in the bathroom but it was a small intimate place and he knew there was only a one room bathroom per gender and it would be far more difficult to pull it off there unnoticed.

August guided Maxine back to his car and opened her door, sliding the food in the back before coming around to the driver's side. He didn't mention where they would go or what they would do, but he turned the car on and then slid his hand back to Maxine's thigh, sliding under her dress this time and more towards the inside of her leg. He gently squeezed the soft flesh as he moved out of the parking lot and back to the streets. He didn't look at her as he drove, the radio still playing frank as his hand crept a little further up. He could feel her heat radiating towards his hand and she obliged him by spreading her legs. It was clear what she had in mind.

August drove a little further and then slid into a parking garage. He took a ticket and smiled deviously at Maxine. He pulled his hand away so he could drive more safely through the garage, letting his car wind up and up through the rows of cars, more parking spots becoming available the higher they went. Finally he pulled onto the roof. There were two other cars there, but otherwise it was empty and dark. August said nothing, turning the car off and sliding out of his seat. He moved around the car and opened Maxine's door, taking her hand and helping her out. "We're not going far." He said, an amused look on his face. He shit her door and opened the back one, waving her in. "After you." He said trying to conceal his amused smile. Once in he slid beside her and shut the door.

"I've played with you already this evening. It's your turn. Have your way, Maxine."

[MAXINE MCMANUS]

“The question is where to have my way with you?” Maxi was trying to suppress her grin when the waiter came over and handed August’s card back to him and set down their leftovers. Maxi thanked him with a kind smile as August scribbled his signature on the receipt. Once he was finished signing, he got to his feet and she did the same, leaving her napkin on the table as she made sure for the fiftieth time that her skirt was straight. “I’ll satiate you, don’t worry my gazelle.” She smiled up at him, flushing a little as she felt his hand in the small of her back once more. At the door she got her hat and coat back, slipping them on before heading out into the chilly night, her arm wrapping in August’s gently for warmth. It was good he hadn’t taken her to the restroom; she had a feeling she wasn’t going to be able to control her volume well with the alcohol in her system and it was a small restaurant. The food was delicious and she wanted to be able to go back there at some point!

August opened her door for her and she slipped in before he closed her door and she situated herself. She had a feeling they weren’t going home, though. As soon as he was in the driver’s seat, his hand slid under her dress, making her bite her lip and lean her head back against the headrest. They were pulling onto the streets, but she wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings, just the feel of August’s hand on her thigh. It crept higher and squeezed, and she parted her legs more for him. She wanted him to touch her, make her moan again, but he didn’t go higher than her thigh, only high enough that he could feel how hot she was. Her heart was racing and her eyes had slipped closed when she could feel the car slowly down. She was right, they weren’t going home, but when she opened her eyes she wondered where they were. August was getting a ticket for a parking garage and smiling at her wickedly, making her smile back with curiosity. The higher they drove in the parking garage, the clearer it became that there was no specific place they were going, just to the most secluded tier of the garage. They finally stopped on the top tier, the roof, and there were only two empty cars in sight. Maxi flushed to know what was going to happen on that roof.

Her lover slid out without a word and moved to her door, opening it for her. She gladly took his hand and let him help her out, wondering if he had someplace else in mind besides his car for their little romp. “We’re not going far.” The smile on her face grew to see the amused look on his, stepping aside so he could shut her door and open the back one. “After you.” With a tiny blush and a small giggle, she slid into the backseat, moving the food to the passenger’s seat to get it out of the way. He got in beside her and she could feel how flushed her face was with excitement, her heart pounding a little. “I’ve played with you already this evening. It’s your turn. Have your way, Maxine.” She loved that she had permission to toy with him. Her smile was wide and coy and she slid closer to him before straddling his lap and holding his face in her hands as she leaned in close to his face. “I intend to…” she said softly in a low, sultry voice before she brought her lips to his. Their lips mashed hard against each other’s, needy with the inability to touch each other as they tormented one another over the past hour and a half in the restaurant. Pressed against him in the tight space, her hands moved to his chest as their tongues performed their intricate dance.

[AUGUST WITT]

August leaned his head into her caress, sighing. “In a minute…” she whispered pulling away from him and making them both whimper softly. She turned in his arms to face him, her arms sliding up around his neck. He gazed down into her dark blue eyes, his brows furrowing slightly. She was so beautiful.. It was so cliche of him to think it, but he truly believed she got more breathtaking which each day, and he knew it was because he was developing feelings for her. He wanted to fight it and deny it, but how could he?

“August…” she all but whispered and the word snaked through his body to his heart, clenching it tightly. How had a woman been able to make him feel so weak? August slid his eyes shot as her fingers slid through his damp hair, sighing as he felt her lips press against his. He shouldn't have been so rough, but in the end it got him to this moment with her and he wanted it no other way. There was still an underlying layer of guilt but if Maxine wasn't intending to hold it against him, he would be willing to drop it as well. He had regained his control for the moment, but he slowly felt it ebbing away. She owned his heart. Losing her would hurt. It would devastate him, but as true as he knew it was he couldn't bring himself to admit it. Maybe ever.. no more than he already did. August had never been a man of words, but of actions. His actions spoke volumes for what his mouth could not.

Her kiss was sweet and passionate, making him ache for her in ways that couldn't be satisfied with his manhood. “Okay. Let’s go home.” She finally said and he was suddenly very glad for the thought of being alone with her and not sharing her with the elements. Sure, they were alone now, but he wanted to really be alone. August pulled her panties from his pocket and slid them into her hand. "I believe these are yours." He said his tone almost teasing. He reached for the jacket on the car and slid it over the small woman's shoulders, guiding her back to her seat. Once more he played the gentleman, opening her door and moving the food they had put their to make room in the backseat for their activities. He helped her in and then shut her door, coming around to the other side and getting in. "You'll spend the evening with me." He told her, not bothering to ask knowing if she had an issue with that arrangement she would surely tell him. August was demanding by nature, but when Maxine wanted things to go her way, she didn't often hold back. He reached for the heat and turned it on, then switched the heated seats on as well to help warm Maxine, knowing she was probably chilled from the weather.

"We can wash when we get home and enjoy the evening maybe a little more quietly." He suggested, peaking at her before backing out of the spot he had parked in, heading out of the garage. "I think we've had quite enough excitement this evening." The corners of his lips quirked up as he drove towards the exit ramp, trying desperately not to grin.

[MAXINE MCMANUS]

August reached into his pocket and Maxi watched him with curiosity, wondering what he was fishing for. When he produced her panties, she looked up at him with an amused smile. “I believe these are yours.” Even though he had slid them into her hand, she looked as though she snatched them away with an indignant smile. “Thief,” she accused playfully, bending over to step into them. Of course he’d make her go the whole night without them, just to give them back when they were going home. His coat slid over her shoulders and she was more than grateful for it. It was cold and his coat harbored her from the elements, warming her up once again. She pulled it tighter around her as it threatened to slip off her tiny shoulder, letting August escort her back to the car. Her butt was in a lot of pain as she walked, the dull, achy kind of pain, and she almost dreaded sitting. She smiled as he moved the food for her though and helped her into the car. He was very good at playing the gentleman even if he didn’t always act it. As she sat down, she did so gingerly, feeling her butt complain, but she knew it would settle on the drive home. She buckled her seatbelt as he made his way around the car and slid in beside her.

“You’ll spend the evening with me.” A smile broke out on her face at that statement. He didn’t have to tell her; she felt it was a given that they would spend the night together. As he seat started to warm up and the heat came on, she sighed, sinking back a little more in her seat. She was ready to get toasty again, her pale skin covered with goosebumps from the chill outside. Her hands ran up and down her arms to warm her further as she really began to calm down from the evening. It had been long so far and they still had several hours left. She felt a little sleepy after all that had happened that evening. “We can wash when we get home and enjoy the evening maybe a little more quietly. I think we’ve had quite enough excitement this evening.” She turned her smile to him, seeing the quirk of his lips at his comment. “I wouldn’t mind getting cleaned up. I don’t know what this excitement is that you’re talking about. It’s been a routine evening.” Her voice was laced with sarcasm and she grinned over at August before looking back out the window. The streets were lonely at this hour, especially with how cool it was outside, and she watched the scenery go by. Having been satisfied twice this evening, she felt quite relaxed and comfortable even with the pain in her backside.

She looked over at August again, wishing she could just snuggle into him and go to sleep. That first night they were together, she never would have expected to be able to snuggle into him at all. Now it was the easiest way for her to fall asleep. Who would have thought she would fall in love with such a hard man? While gazing at him, she noticed his hair was messy from her pulling it, playing with it while they made love. She reached up and smoothed it down, giggling a little. “I destroyed your hair.” Her explanation was spoken softly and once she finished combing his hair out, she put her hand back in her lap and just smiled at him before looking back out the window.

[AUGUST WITT]

“I wouldn’t mind getting cleaned up. I don’t know what this excitement is that you’re talking about. It’s been a routine evening.” He heard the sarcasm ring loud and clear in her tone, but it made him smile anyway. "I might like to make this a routine. Don't tempt me, Maxine. There are plenty of public places where I'd like to have my way with you. Your scream is very sexy." He told her in a low, cool, sultry voice as his eyes stayed forward.

Considering the short stay in the lot, they didn't need to pay much but August was more than happy to use his credit card to have had the little excursion they did. The roads were mostly clear and the car was slowly heating up once more. They didn't need to speak much, both obviously content with the silence and each other.

August felt Maxine's eyes on him suddenly but he didn't look, concentrating on the road and getting them home. He was thinking about the shower they would take and just relaxing with her for the rest of the evening. He loved knowing that if he wanted he could stay beside her in bed all night and day, never having to leave her. It was a surprisingly nice though. He felt Maxine's delicate fingers move and brush through his hair and his stomach jolted, which surprised him. He had never loved a woman's caress this much. “I destroyed your hair.” She explained with a sweet giggle and it was all August could do to keep driving and not pull over to take her again. "You often do." He replied, not wanting to see the damage she'd caused. He knew his mother likely saw it, but it was probably far worse now than it had been earlier. He turned his head a little, seeing her looking out the window before turning his eyes back to the road. He reached out and took her hand, pulling it to his lips and kissing her knuckles gently. "I like when you play with my hair." He cooed softly in the warm, quiet car. He pressed his lips to her knuckles once more, letting them linger before sliding her hand back down into her own lap and taking the wheel with both hands.

August pulled into his complexes garage and found his spot, sliding in easily. He turned the car off and looked over at the redhead beside him, his eyes simply taking her in as she sat there, disheveled and beautiful in his passenger seat. When had he fallen so hard for her? Had he ever stood a chance against her? His hand reached out cupping the side of her face, his thumb caressing her cheek gently as he watched her silently, his lips pursed lightly and his brows furrowed ever so gently over his stormy eyes. She really was magnificent.. Suddenly a light smile creased his lips and he pulled his hand away, gazing for another moment before turning and reaching for their food and her jack, and got out of the car. He came to Maxine's side and opened the door, her coat slung over his arm with the food in his hand, his other hand offered to her. "Come, let's wash you off." He said softly almost as if she were a child. She really had soothed the savage beast in him, and she didn't need to do anything special to do it.

[MAXINE MCMANUS]

Maxi’s eyes were still turned out the window when she felt August’s hand clasp hers gently. She turned her wide eyes over to him, not expecting the affectionate gesture, and when he kissed her knuckles, she felt her stomach fill with butterflies. Her face was flushed, but a big, warm smile broke out on her face. It had been a while since her stomach had clenched like that, but it felt nice. She loved when he was affectionate like this. “I like when you play with my hair.” Her smile grew, bright and sweet and so happy to hear him say that. She did it often enough that she hoped he liked her playing with his hair. Again his lips pressed to her knuckles and she giggled softly. She loved him so much, she couldn’t even say. When he placed her hand back in her lap, she gave a little sigh and went back to watching out the window. She wished she could gush to her mom about how in love she was.

When they got back to the complex, she unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at him. It was strange the way he was looking at her, but not in a bad way. He was making her feel giddy and blush and she bit her lip a little as she gazed back at him. It was rare she would call him sweet, but that’s exactly what he was being right now. She thought that even more when his hand came to her cheek and his thumb ran across her too-soft skin. Maxi couldn’t remember a time she had felt so beautiful. It made her blush more as her gaze became warmer. When he smiled she gave him a brighter smile back, not sure what they were smiling about. He had such a loving gaze in his eyes, though…it made her heart skip.

Suddenly he got out of the car, leaving her somewhat baffled, smiling and blushing. She loved him so much it almost hurt…When he came to her side of the car, she looked at him and smiled, taking his hand when it was offered. “Come, let’s wash you off.” She gave a soft laugh, climbing out of the car with his help. When she was standing, she placed her hands on his face and pulled him in for a kiss. She didn’t care who saw; she loved him too much to care. When she pulled back, a sweet smile on her face, she took his hand gently. “Okay,” she agreed softly and walked into the building with August.
