The Opposite-of-Abandoned but Definition-of-Creepy Mansion in the Woods; Wednesday Morning [07/30].
If Liliana had just remained a cat this whole time these past two weeks, then Ignis would likely be fine with it, even with all the dead mice that had been left proudly for him, especially in their bed, which he could at least understand as the gesture it was meant to be. But there was something about having had her turn back oh-so-briefly last Thursday, only to revert back to her current feline state, that made everything exceptionally harder.
Though he would admit a certain respect for the dedication to academic pursuits/complaining about ancient assholes.
Which basically meant that the mansion was spotless, the pantry was filled with fresh baked goods and everyone's freezers had all sorts of prepped meals stuffed into them, he had at least two semesters' worth of lesson plans if he ever did start teaching again, and the training room was getting some extensive and intensive use these morning. Ignis had been so dogged and determined in nailing the drills that even Gladio was getting a little winded and wondering if maybe they should take it easy.
Which meant Prompto was practically dying, groaning as he plopped down on the floor and spread out his limbs, crying mercy.
"I'm too young to go this early!" he declared. "I have children! Do you want Liz to be a widow?"
"Well," Gladio offered, giving Prompto's foot a small nudge with his own, before offering out a hand to pull him up, "on the bright side, at least she won't have to change her wardrobe much for mourning."
"We've almost got it to perfection," Ignis insisted. "Just a few more times, and--"
"--and we're just going to get more tired and make mistakes, which makes it harder to get there," Gladio countered. "Aren't you the one who's always harping on us about pushing past our limits?"
"Oh," Ignis huffed slightly, "I haven't likely said that in years."
"Not for yourself, maybe," Prompto pointed out, and there was a bit of a pause, and Ignis sighed.
"Let's just run it five mor--" His words were buried in groans. "Three more times, and we'll have ourselves a break."
"Or," Prompto tried, "call it a day."
"Well, we'll finish the job once we do it right, then. Come on. Liven up. Practice makes perfect."
"Practice," Prompto murmured, mostly to himself, maybe a little to Gladio, "makes me want to just shoot a guy right in the butt."
"I heard that."

Perhaps Ignis would be better pleased with being presented fledglings in their bed than he'd been with mice.
Thoughts turned pleasantly towards mischief and murder, Liliana rose to her feet with a beeg stretch--
--and prompt
oly turned back into a woman. "Fucking hell--!" she yelped, all previous plans forgotten as she did her level best to cling to her perch and not topple ingloriously to the floor.no subject
"Out," he said, firmly and demandingly as his gears shifted on a pinpoint. "Everyone out. Training's finished. Do remember to stretch on the way out lest your muscles regret it."
"Aw, come on, Igs!" said Gladio, grinning, with a passing glance Liliana's way (that was, in part, genuinely to make sure she was okay). "Didn't you say at least three more times? I feel like I could go for twenty! What do you think, Prompto?"
Prompto was still coming out of a stumble from the sudden abruptly halt in the sequence of the drill, blinking his eyes as he tried to catch up with what happened. "Wha--? Twenty? I--Oh!"
Did clamping his eyes shut, throwing a hand over them, and turning around negate the eyeful he got in that split second of his eyes widening with realization? "S-sorry!" he stammered out.
But Ignis waa ignoring them both entirely on his way to Liliana.
"Are you alright, my dear?"
no subject
"Prompto, Gladio. Hello darlings, and, more importantly, goodbye."
Her second concern was kissing the breath out of her fiancé, which she was doing just as soon as her feet hit solid ground.
no subject
Well, the rest didn't make it out of him, because every last shred of his attention that might have been on anything else in the room was being swept away and drowned in the undertow of that kiss. Surely, they'd have still gotten the message, though, and should they stil linger, they were very likely to get even more of a show than just the glimpses of Liliana in an undressed state.
"Aw, come on, you two," Gladio needled, "not in front of the kid."
There was a moment before Prompto realized that Gladio was referring to him as the kid in this situation. "Hey!"
Gladio patted his back and started guiding Prompto toward the door. "You're welcome!" he shouted back at Liliana before they did take their leave. "Got him all nice and warmed up and limber for you, too, Lils!"
"Aw, come on!" Prompto's complaint followed them as they left the two of them to it.
And Ignis was going to be very upset if this was also going to be another fleeting tease of a shift back, and was clearly going to make the most of it now in kissing Liliana just in case...
no subject
"Miss me?" she murmured in between soul-devouring kisses, her hands clutching at him with a quiet kind of desperation, as if she could stave off yet another transformation by clinging to him.
She didn't feel like she was about to turn back into a cat, but then she hadn't felt that way any of the other times, either.
no subject
Although if this had been Thursday before class again, he would be very compelled to destroy her entire syllabus over the matter and not feel the least bit bad about it, either.
(Well, okay. Maybe a little bit bad about it, but it would be microscopic levels of guilt, indeed.)
no subject
One would think she'd have learned this already.
Mmm, but thoughts for later, once his lips stopped being so enticing on her skin, his hands stopped drawing out soft sighs. She began moving, step by slow, savored step, easing them both towards the door of the training room. Or perhaps just to the wall next to it. "Good," she replied, head falling backwards, tickling his hands and forearms with the silk of her hair. "I was without you for entirely too long..."
no subject
His hands did, however, depart, but for a fleeting moment, so that by the time they did reach the wall of the training room, it was his own bare shoulders that met it, so that when those hands dutifully, eagerly returned to her, to pull her in close, it would be her cool flesh against his, flushed and heated, all the while those deep, hungry kisses relented, interrupted only but briefly for that pesky necessity of breathing, the occasional soft moan of longing.
And words, spoken low and deep on those breaths. "And only an eternity," he murmured, "to try and make up for it."
no subject
"It's only forever," she quoted, "not long at all..." before pulling him back to to her, hands skimming away from his dear, most beloved face, down his neck and over his shoulders, before her nails dug into the skin of his back, far too long neglected.
She drank in his heat, her own flesh warming under his, drank in his desire, returning and magnifying it. "Don't make me wait," she groaned, uncaring that yes, he had her, Liliana Vess, begging for him.
It was deserved.
He'd return the favor later.
no subject
"Make you wait?" There was a teasing bite in these words murmured into her ear now, as well, in this challenge for her claim to deeper suffering in this matter.
Not that it would matter soon, anyway. Especially with the convenient ease at which his training clothes could be removed, waiting was simply a risk Ignis had no intention of taking.
no subject
She whimpered as his teeth sank into her throat, eyes sliding shut from sensation, nails dragging along his spine. Her hips ground against his, wordlessly repeating her demand. She could just shove his pants away herself, but that would take her hands away from claiming the territory of his back, which she thought they were both quite enjoying at the moment.
But another few heartbeats apart and she might have to take matters into her own hands, as it were.
no subject
For now, all he wanted was her, to be with her, as close as humanly possible. He made up for the regretful absence of his hands to shed that last remaining barrier between them by returning them as quickly as he could to her to, sliding down her back and around to her thighs to lift her up to wrap her legs around him...and, oh, the tighter, the better, and he had no doubt those legs would a nearly crushingly gripping vice as he slid into Liliana as deeply as his grateful groan and a mouth desperately seeking her own.
no subject
She gave him her mouth as completely and eagerly as she'd given him her body, kissing him with all the desperation that came with not actually knowing if this was a brief reprieve of the island's chicanery, and all the need that came with two weeks' worth of separation. She might not have been aware of them in quite the same way when she'd been a cat, but she felt them all quite keenly now.
They frequently talked about finding and falling into one another's rhythm, and it was no different here. The rhythm she set here was heavy, demanding, almost harsh, and she invited him to meet her in it, stroke for stroke. His mouth claiming hers left her unable to speak aloud, but the way she gripped and clutched suggested two words.
The first? Harder.
The second? Mine.
no subject
Both words were understood with crystal-clear clarity, because they were the same words driving Ignis in his pursuit of consuming every inch of Liliana and of being fully consumed. Two weeks, in the grand scheme of things, was such an infinitesimal amount of time, but in these moments, it felt like a wonder that he'd managed to even survive a day (much less his entire lifetime until now) without her. And he was certainly not letting having her back go to waste or for granted.
He did have a passing thought that perhaps the training room could benefit from having a few more readily available tables or even a nice chaise, but, for now, turning so that Liliana's back was against the wall was hardly an inferior strategy. Plenty of tables and chaises to take advantage of later.
no subject
Liliana was far past the point of stray thoughts herself beyond a gasped out, "Yes," though later she would be glad that this wall was lacking any decor that could have been knocked off during their enthusiastic reunion against it. A concussion from a falling picture frame would have been the last straw, honestly. But in the absence of any such danger, Liliana was able to show her appreciation of this well-executed maneuver by threading her hand into his hair and tugging his head backwards to reveal his throat to her. "Love you," she murmured and proved it by sinking her teeth into the sensitive flesh there.
Not to keep quiet, Abyss no. She had no problems taking her pleasures loud enough for the house to echo with her cries. But she was quickly reaching the point where that was all she would be able to do, swept up and away by the riptide of climax and before she gave into the delightful inevitable.
no subject
The words I love you in return had been right there, ready to leap from his tongue to his lips after building on a rough, husky breath in his throat. But those hands in his hair pulling back his head sent it back to where it formed, her teeth digging into his throat locked it in place as it took new shape and only escaped once it had reformed and buried itself in the long, needy groan that slipped out instead.
And in each subsequent grunt with each newly focused thrust, faster and faster, and harder, building on this long drought of a couple of weeks, without her touch, without the sound of her voice, or the ghost of her smile in his mind. On the cruel tease that had been last Thursday. On how it barely mattered now, anyway, because now they were here, together, as they always would be. Building and building on her quickened breaths and ringing cries, and his own far more reserved (though, truly, only by comparrison) contribution toward the music and that crescendo into the sweet release of bliss.
Only then did those words form again on his lips, emerging from that final bellow that didn't seem to know the meaning of the word reserved, repeated and echoed with each kiss to her throat, her neck, her collarbone.
"Love you, 'Iana. My 'Iana. I love you, my gods, I love you."
no subject
Steal. Ha. As if Ignis ever denied her anything; he gave of himself so freely and unstintingly that she sometimes almost felt guilty for how selfish she was in return.
Sometimes. Almost.
"A good thing you already proposed, no?" she asked with a small huff of a laugh, her legs still wrapped around him. She was in no hurry to get down. In fact, she was tempted to suggest he move them somewhere else and begin again. "What this moment lacks in romantic ambience..." She pressed kisses of her own upon him: his hairline, his forehead, his ears, the line of his jaw, "...it certainly makes up for her in fervor."
no subject
"I could always propose again," he pointed out, his voice still in that deep, rumbling register from his breathlessness, made even more so with the chuckle that followed it. Smiling, he rested his forehead against hers a moment before stealing one of those scattered kisses back for his ever-greedy lips.
no subject
"But I'm using that mouth," she said with a breathy chuckle, hot on the heels of a particularly lewd kiss. "For things other than talking."
For example, giving him a second one, deep and heavy, her tongue stroking over his, before reaching up to brush over his teeth. It did nothing now, but once before, when he'd had fangs to tease and toy with...
no subject
"Darling," he said, "need I remind you," another kiss, another tug of her lip with his teeth before it found its way to that favorite spot below her ear to sink his teeth into, "that I can be incredibly efficient," a tug now on her ear lobe, and he pulled back from the wall, leaning forward slightly with a hand sliding down her thigh to guide her to unravel those glorious legs from around him, to set her down, which also put him in an excellent position to direct the next kiss against her collarbone, "at multitasking when I feel so inclined?"
There was just a brief moment, for her to wonder, if she hadn't figured it out yet, what exactly he might be up to before he began with her name.
"Liliana Vess..."
His hands brushing hair back from her shoulder, drifting down to her breasts, and his mouth, following suit, taking their time in the slow and dedicated march down. If she hadn't realized it yet, surely she would soon, lips brushing kisses across her stomach as his hands rounded her hips.
After all, traditionally speaking, it was done on one's knees, was it not? He'd taken the one before, but now he took two. He became momentarily distracted with the heat of her inner thigh, not sure whether he'd prefer to kiss there or bite there, and so he did both, before turning his head upwards so she could see his face as he asked:
"Will you marry me?"
He didn't wait for a response before his mouth found its goal, thougg he suspected his own stroking, brushing tongue would certainly help one along.
no subject
Oh, an excellent gambit indeed. A perfect encapsulation of why she was marrying him.
He was clever. He was a consummate opponent. He was sexy as all hells. And he was utterly, completely devoted to her and her pleasure.
She didn't answer right away, preferring to let him lick the answer out of her. But when it came, it was a series of most emphatic, enthusiastic yeses, delivered repeated and at high volume. One leg slung over his shoulder, the hands in his hair keeping his face firmly planted where she wanted it - no needed it - most, and soon her answer was supplanted by yet more cries and also instructions.
"I--I want--I want to come on your tongue," she groaned. "And then feel you inside me once more so I can come around you again...please, 'Nys...I want to feel you deep."
no subject
Not that he needed the instructions, already intent exploring how every move, every flick, every twitch of his tongue altered the tone and timber, the volume and vivacity of her answer, until he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was quite satisfied with it. That please in particular pulled a hungry, muffled groan and gave that extra push to refouble his effort just that subtle bit more.
The only question that did linger in his mind was whether or not to give her a moment to catch her breath before drawing himself up again to drag her with him onto a nearby chair or not.
no subject
No. No moments. No breathing. She wanted to be overwhelmed by him, even as she wanted to surround him like quicksand and drag him down down down into the glorious dark with her.
The only question he should be asking himself was if he wanted to settle with her facing him, all the better to kiss him, to ride him, or facing away from him, which opened up the entire canvas of her body for him to play with.
Either way, one or the other of them was getting dragged to that chair post-haste.
no subject
And he made that very clear when he slumped back into the chair and pulled her with him into one of those devouring kisses that he wouldn't be able to get enough of that day, even when his jaw positively aches for respite.
no subject
Liliana gracefully slid into his lap, straddling him with slick thighs, tongue darting out to taste the sheen on his lips before surrendering into that kiss. One hand drifted to his jaw, thumb rubbing gentle circles along the length, while her other hand drifted to his lap, concerning itself with a different length of its own. Her cool fingers gathered some of the wetness that had collected between her legs, then wrapped around him in a firm grip. Liliana was selfish, yes, in so many ways, but when it came to sharing pleasure, she was as generous and profligate as Christmas morning.
Especially with him.
A few strokes to feel how his body moved and strained under hers, and then that clever hand was guiding him inside her until their bodies were once more flush against each other. Her breath caught, then escaped in a reedy moan of his name, and then her mouth occupied itself with his once more as she began, not to ride, but to grind.
