Genevieve smiled at the notion, contemplating that perhaps she was not taking the previous gesture to heart—but stopped herself short as the remembrance of Jasper concluded her thoughts, and she was left with a warmth and a lingering smile.
The smile soon after fell as she sharply remembered glancing through the sheer glass of her living room window—seasoned with curiosity she wished had never fallen over her as her eyes fell on the image of Jasper, seated cosily beside no one but mother dear
He asked after a moment, shifting forward in his seat once more as Genevieve dropped her eyes to the table, her teeth finding her lip."Not much... My mom drove me at around seven... and it took an hour... She talked to coworkers, I just sat off to the side the entire night," she shrugged, her eyes scanning the detail of the oak table before her as the man, Luca, drummed his fingers against the surface. It was odd to watch the detective's enviably shaped nails; she was used to a man with hangnail ridden fingers and atrocious cuticles—once
She snatched her hand back to her chest, lips parting as a misplaced tear she could not even feel fell from the shadows of her eyes and thick, dark lashes. "I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that,"The girl felt bluntly bewildered in the moment, dark eyes wide and lips parted as a second tear met the skin of her cheek, stained by a deeper pink. Her freckles fell invisible to the tone, hidden by the very shade that warmed beneath her skin and defined the thud of her heartbeat in her ears.
The pair had long forgotten about the television that played in the background, the volume too low to notice but just loud enough to still have it hanging from a thread and begging for attention.
It was the same thing on his mind as they shed various garments, the already running shower forgotten beneath the touch of each other against one another, Genevieve's hands clutching for a better grip on the flexing tones of Jasper's shoulders as the pair stumbled through the bathroom door.
Genevieve sleepily lifted her eyes to Jasper's, shifting in his grip as his eyes fluttered open before her, and he greeted her with a sleepy smile of his own. "Hey," She smiled crookedly, her gaze matching his as he drew her closer into his chest.
Genevieve shuffled into the courtroom behind her mother, feeling Mona falsely grip onto her arm as she ushered the short, blonde girl to a seat beside her. Genevieve bitterly knew that there was no dimension to her gestures, but simply just an act behind them—to put it plainly, her mother only clutched onto her daughter almost tearfully, because Jasper was watching.She caught his eye as the pair forwarded in, not Mona, but Genevieve... He knew he had only seen the girl hours before, but he would never get used to the sight of her warm eyes meeting his as a small smile flickered acr
Genevieve sighed, running a hand through her hair as she discarded her house keys on the table by her side and shrugged her cardigan from her shoulders. Feeling slightly more relaxed at the idea her mother was picking up her father from the airport and the two would be spending a night in the city, she didn't fight the small smile that found her lips at the one pending idea.Dinner with Jasper was less than an hour away.She sighed at the idea—sure, when she had prepared dinner with Jasper the evening before, it had been simply magical,
Genevieve's eyelids flew open as she coaxed herself from the daze, the familiar daze of shock. Sadly, the girl was still wrapped in the same scenario she had been snatched from for only a peaceful, slow moment.Her eyes met the very pair she feared most, Mark's, and her arms began to thrash once more.
Jasper didn't feelanythingto the new promise—the promise the pair would be back in the courtroom soon, speaking of a man half the girl's flesh. He had thought he'd feel at least a twinge of angst to the idea... but suddenly, he felt it would be nothing close to even an effort if the girl was in it with him.
"Youbìtch," The man spat the words as she tore her arm from his grip, fingertips tightening threateningly. "Just wait and you'll see me there—in fact, you'll see me far sooner than you think. You're still mine,"
Ambiguous. It was something ambiguous.The act of holding someone's eyes, connecting Irises shattered and bottomless. The act of eye contact. The act of something so v
Genevieve sighed the words, her hands clutching his, nails delicately biting the skin of his knuckles. She raised her hips from the mattress to meet his. He lowered his lips to the skin of her neck as his lengths became steady, her legs holding the man against her.He groaned against her skin as he moved between her thighs, finally lifting his lips to her own once more. Her thin moans failed to slow - lips moving against his with an unusual chorus of gasps and pleasured whimpers.
There was something oddly subtle about the way sunlight of a youth fell against the ivory skin of a familiar girl. Her frame had become kin of the sheets, Jasper's hand kin of her skin. She writhed and gasped in the light of morning, lips parted by a wide girth of breath, eyebrows knitted and fingers clasping on the dishevelled, crumpled linen of the bedding beneath her.The man lay above her, watching gasping breaths tumble from between her collarbones and through her lips as he offered her sweet, small smiles.
The man smiled with her words, hands lifting affectionately to the frame of Genevieve's face, marked by her ears. Their eyes remained fixed on one another's comfortably, breaths warm together. "You're somehow hexing, kitten,"Her heart stammered in her chest as if it were to be fumbling, stuttering at a loss of words; a loss of breath and inner balance, tipped by a shy affection as his words played with the spoiling of her heart. "I like that one,"
"Have you done your last task?""Yes,""-And how did that go?"Genevieve inhaled deeply, one leg crossing over the other, eyes fixing to the familiar, older, worn-looking man
"Okay, so; you have to work and I have to meet up with a friend to catch up on school—what time of the day does that leave us to have a little playtime?" Genevieve's question was sweet as she rolled to her other side, eyes meeting the may who lay behind her moments before, now in front.He smiled softly as she settled before him, a soft and innocent brow quirked with the tone of the question, her hands tucking around the lip of the duvet against them. Her eyes held his without fear, her gaze strong yet vulnerable and giving in a sense the man could not place.
The man's hands moved to beneath the hair at the back of her head, fingers brushing a raised scar beneath in a way strangely prudent."If the phone or doorbell rings, we're ignoring it," His eyes held hers with a sense of content, a gentle smile staining the shadows of his own lips."Can you carry me?" the girl whispered the words after a long moment, laughing giddily as the man sl
