Dinner as a goodbye...

[1stmacleod]

After talking with Jelani in the Nexus, Connor returns to the place he's starting, tentatively, to think of as home base. He tucks the envelope full of money away in his suitcase, and takes roughly two minutes to pack, because he's been living out of it anyway.
Then he goes to the kitchen, and rummages, and gets to work. A chocolate cake comes first, made from scratch. While that's cooling he starts on dinner; chicken breasts stuffed with broccoli and cheese, rice pilaf, a little more steamed broccoli in case what's in the chicken isn't enough.

He has to tell Kairos that he's going back to his world, just long enough to get things in order and talk to Duncan, but he's not sure how long that will be.

After it's over, though, this is where he plans to return to.

He takes a swig of water first, just in case, and leans over to kiss her. One hand goes up on reflex and tangles gently in her hair. Connor really likes her hair.

There's a soft, sweet noise at the kiss, then another as she pulls away so that her hair is pulled. She likes that, and his kisses. "Wanna give you something to remember me by..."

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I could forget you if I tried." He smiles a little, and nuzzles her cheek.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

She chuckles, turning her face slightly to kiss his own cheek. "So sweet. And handsome."

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

That gets him blushing a little, more than any dirty joke ever could. "If you say so. I still think you must have me confused with somebody else."

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

She lifts an eyebrow. "So it's not you I'm supposed to be kissing?"

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"...I don't know. Maybe you'd better try again to be sure?" He smiles slyly and goes in for another kiss.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

"OK.." And she kisses him again, carefully, her tongue pressing along the crease of his lips for entrance.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

He opens his lips and presses back gently, sliding half out of his chair to embrace her. Dinner's going to get cold.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

Kairos is pretty okay with that. She makes another soft little noise in the back of her throat as she kisses him back. She moves closer, almost half in his lap.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

He's got his arms around her already, so he steadies her to make sure she's not about to slide onto the floor or anything, and finishes a kiss to start nuzzling her neck and ear.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

No no, she's more likely to climb him then fall to the floor. She makes herself comfortable in his lap and lets her neck tilt slightly to the side for better access. Her hands curiously explore his arms and shoulders through his shirt.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"Has anyone..." *Kiss* "Told you..." *Kiss* "You're distracting?" He kisses his way up and down her neck a little.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

Kairos preens in his arms. "Maybe once." She kisses his neck. "Should I stop?" She may not listen even if he says they should.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"Depends on whether you want the leftovers to be edible tomorrow." He licks the outer rim of her ear just once.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

She shivers, and her nails dig into his shoulder for just a moment. "That's not right, pitting my stomach against ..other parts of me."

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

He laughs. "I never said I fight fair. There's a chocolate cake for dessert."

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

She lifts an eyebrow. "Seducing me with chocolate?"

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. Is it working?" He grins.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

"You could have me on top of the table if you wanted. Yes. Chocolate cake." she nods seriously. "And kisses from Connor!"

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

"I can think of more comfortable places." He grins, and kisses her deeply, then gets a good grip and transfers her gently back to her chair. "You want coffee with dessert?"

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

Kairos goes easily enough, and wiggles a bit, suddenly filled with energy. Gosh. "Me too! And.. sure. With lots of sugar and milk.." She likes cappuccino. Not coffee, but she'll fake it.

[1stmacleod.livejournal.com]

Cappuccino would be good, if it wasn't for the need to figure out the cappuccino machine for it. Connor knows how to work the coffee maker, but his skills with modern technology are limited.
"Sweet like you?" She gets a last kiss, and then one on the forehead, as if he's having trouble tearing himself away. It takes him a moment to collect their dishes, and go find some decaf. Leftovers can wait to be put away.

[kairos-aether.livejournal.com]

She smiles impishly. "Maaaybe." She watches him - she's got half a mind to help, but the truth is, she sort of likes being waited on by a handsome, sweet man.

Her view might be better if his clothes weren't so shabby. The backside that's to her while he makes coffee is nice, but the jeans are a little baggy because they're old. Over his shoulder he calls, "So you're saying you only look sweet?" He's grinning.
