[The movement surprises him into breaking the kiss for a second. When he realizes the ease with which Spock lifts him up, pressing him up against the door, Spock may notice that his pupils dilate a bit more. Jim ducks in for a bruising kiss, that friction causing his hips to twitch. There's a groan from deep in his throat as his legs wrap tighter to pull Spock in as close as possible.]
[ The twitch and closeness make Jim's desire obvious again Spock's hips even if they didn't have a telepathic link. The cupping grip Spock has under Jim's add only encourages Jim to keep rocking against him, to use the wall for leverage as Spock keeps him in the air. He returns the kiss with equal fervor, parting his lips for Jim as well as the link, widening it even further. ]
[Across the link, Jim's mind surges forward, eager to share the space occupied by Spock, wanting to envelop and be enveloped. He's not sure whether he wants to sink more into the mental or the physical aspect of what they're doing but it's intoxicating either way, his mind emanating ripples of pleasure that resonate and build.
He nips and sucks at Spock's lower lip, fingers thread through the hair at the base of his skull, none too gently grabbing.]
[ He lets out the first noise he's made since they came upstairs, a low sound deep in his throat at Jim's nips and tugs at his hair. Spock concentrates on the physical for now with the promise of more mental stimulation to come, a telepathic caress across the shared head space.
He lifts Jim from the door, balancing him a moment before he moves towards Jim's bed. He tilts his head back to keep kissing Jim even as he sinks down, settling Jim onto his lap more firmly. ]
[Jim's legs automatically tighten around Spock when he feels himself being removed from the support of the wall. Spock's steady grip and superhuman strength of course have him relaxing, stability apparent. When he moves so easily across the room to sit on Jim's bed though, there's a small mental flare from the embers burning deep within him.
Jim shifts so that his knees straddle Spock, allowing himself to have some leverage, but also making sure their hips stay in contact--there is no hiding how turned on Jim is from that overt demonstration of power. There's a low moan against Spock's mouth at the friction, and simply knowing that Spock was enjoying this too.]
[He reaches down to help and lifts his arms up over his head, tossing his shirt aside, immediately ducking back in to take Spock's lips. It's a flurry in his mind of his usual feelings and emotions whenever they got like this--low, dusky heat rippling from the deepest core him, slight tugging between them at their bond, as though to hasten their coupling.
But this time, there's a dark, walled off area of their shallow touch. Buried inside are Jim's doubts about the recent revelation regarding Uhura. A small leak of fierce possessiveness emanates from it, wanting to reinforce for now that Spock was his alone.
Jim reaches at the hem of Spock's multiple layers, intending to get all of them off at once, wanting to feel skin against skin.]
[ The top layers he's wearing pull off with a bit of effort, the tighter undershirt proving just a bit stubborn (but it musses Spock's hair wonderfully when it's finally tugged free). The removing of the tops briefly breaks their contact, the link dulling to a mere whisper of what it is without the physical anchor behind it.
But when Spock's arms encircle Jim's torso again, his mind encircling Jim's thoughts again along with it, that dark area becomes apparent, stilling Spock's hands at the base of Jim's spine. His eyes remain open, though heavily lidded, but his mind turns inward toward that area, seeking to identify the emotions there conflicting with the building heat of lust. ]
[He resettles into Spock's lap, taking in and thoroughly appreciating the view. A hand runs up Spock's chest, over his shoulders, fingertips tracing up his neck to thread his fingers once again through the mussed-up hair.
...But then he can sense Spock turning inward and when he senses what Spock can seefeel, Jim too turns inward.
It's nothing.
Because he's already had a couple of days to himself to examine what it is and reduce it down to the size Spock sees now.]
[ The resettling in his lap causes a flare of renewed lust and need to distract him, but after a deep breath to recenter his thoughts he turns his attention inward again.
If there is a matter that troubles you it is not nothing. Spock's hands turn to caressing against Jim's back, fingertips smoothing upwards along his spine. ]
But of course, he doesn't have the kind of mental discipline that Spock has, and so Uhura's name flashes quickly across the mindscape.
He couldn't help that small twinge of doubt in that dark corner, dense and sedentary. It was only human to have the barest of lingering skepticism, because what would happen if Uhura did show up? The active thought causes a harsher leak to spread out, drawn to Spock's mind and wanting to blend with it, emphasize their link.
Jim shudders ever so slightly and feels that flare of lust, possessiveness leaking into the physical as he kisses Spock once more. This one is rougher than before, fingers tightening in that messy, jet-black hair.]
[ Spock allows himself to indulge in the kiss, that glowing ember in their link flaring brighter. He reciprocates the roughness of the kiss, teeth scraping at Jim's lips and jawline, breath puffing hot against his mouth. It's only after several long moments of building heat that Spock backs off slightly, reaching for that dark part of Jim's mind.
Yet your mind remains unsettled. He caught that flash of Uhura in Jim's thoughts, but it's better if Jim says it directly. He doesn't push Jim though, allowing him to come to it in his own time. ]
[Jim is very clearly enjoying the kiss--all the more for Spock reciprocating its roughness. He envelops himself in the physicality, losing himself to sensation, breath hitching at the sharpness of Spock's teeth. It's when Spock turns inwards again, reaching for that dark corner, that Jim shies away, flash of embarrassment apparent across their link and bond.
He rests his forehead against Spock's, appearing to be catching his breath but also pointedly not looking up at his bondmate.
[ Spock reopens his own eyes when he senses Jim downcasting his own, though he doesn't move back to get a better view of Jim's face. Still leaning their foreheads together, Spock's hands rise so that he cradles Jim's head, fingers embracing just below his jawline.
What is buried deep can only grow in size or fester. It is not wise to leave misgivings unaddressed. ]
[Jim's hands come up to rest over the top of Spock's, affection genuine and flowing easily over their bond and link, but it's streaked with that possessiveness, now coming out more frequently from that area.
He ducks in to occupy Spock's lips and his own.
You want me to be honest? There's a slight tightening of his fingers over Spock's hands. I'm afraid of what'll happen if she shows up here. And there's a slight change in his mindscape, now cool and damp instead of warm and bright. He knows how ugly what he's saying is. He knows there's no solution to this. He knows they discussed this, spent time away from each other for this. That still doesn't touch the very densest part of his worries, though. Nothing will, short of Uhura herself showing up and forcing everybody's hand.]
[ I always desire honesty, is Spock's automatic response, a genuine answer even as he's slightly distracted by Jim's fingers and lips covering his own.
The cooling of passion slows Spock's response to the kiss though, coming to rest against Jim's forehead again with deliberately slow, even breaths. Jim will get the sense that Spock is mentally preparing for something, shoring up some resolve to answer that possessive dampener. It takes several moment, but then Spock gently eases open another barrier he had kept closed, much like the walled-off area Jim had in his own mind.
It feels almost identical, perhaps with a slightly different flavor as it's turned on Spock himself rather than outward on another person like Jim was experiencing. His own fear is evident behind this newly unlocked part of his mind—what would happen if Nyota would show up? Would she be angry? Not speak to either of them and end their friendship? Would she quietly accept their relationship, or would she demand they part?
It's dizzying even in Spock's own mind, the scenarios, consequences, and possible outcomes of it all swirling round and round until Spock felt a dense, sickening pit in his stomach. Jim and Nyota were both important to him. He did not want—could not end his relationship with either of them on his own choice any more than he could cut out his own heart. ]
[Jim is, as usual, unprepared for the sheer depth of Spock's emotion, sinking himself into the murkiness.
He watches and feels these emotions, similar, but so much more complex than his own.
Jim hesitantly opens his corner, fierce possession and defensiveness bursting forth, the force of it and its hues show just how bottled up it's been. He watches as those thoughts float past him. Jim doesn't care what Uhura thinks, he wasn't letting Spock go. But feeling Spock's pure unadulterated emotion for her like this in their mindscape causes him pause.]
[ Spock accepts the emotions flowing from Jim, neither agreeing nor rejecting of them, but letting them simply flow through both of their minds. Accepting them, and reaching along their bond to envelope them with his own.
There is nothing that would change what I feel for you, ashayam. Her arrival, should it occur, would not replace, usurp, or deny that in any way. And after a minor hesitation, he continues on, wanting to make this point clear, hoping to convey his complicated emotions with more simplistic and limited words. Just as you do not replace my relationship with her.
[There's that word again, that Spock allowed him to feel/experience, it's meaning bubbling to the surface in his own mind, warmth seeping up and diffusing once more through the mindscape.
Spock explaining this so explicitly with so much confidence greatly settles him. The dense area in the corner of his mind harboring his doubts dissipates somewhat at this reassurance. There's a trace amount left--Only Uhura showing up and seeing how things fall out would alleviate it fully.
There's a small burst of that warm, strong affection radiating out from the center of his chest, practically flowing through to his fingertips where they gently entangle into the jet-black hair at the base of Spock's neck. There's the slightest press against Spock's forehead--a nod.
[ A tingling-like sensation echoes through the bond at the gesture—relief at Jim's acceptance and relaxing, contentedness, all colored by the bright flavor of their earlier list beneath it.
And a small note of surprise in himself. Spock actually likes having Jim on his lap like this. The warm weight of him keeping him down on the bed, Jim being artificially taller than him and causing Spock to tilt his head back when he was the one usually leaning down. And every shift causing them to brush and rub against each other. That's probably the best part, and the best to take advantage of.
He scoots further back on the bed, bringing Jim with him without their hips ever really losing contact. Sliding his hands back to Jim's waist, he encourages Jim to rock as well, his grip confident and firm. ]
[That warmth turns murkier, warm blues and violets as the pure clarity of the moment is tinged with lust. Jim delights in how Spock is enjoying these subtle things like the angle at which they kiss like this and the delicious friction if they're held just so while Spock moves.
At Spock's insistence, he grinds his hips down, heat building merely from the firm grip on him. Jim's mouth finds Spock's as a desperate attempt to hide the low moan he lets out.]
[ Not so hidden when pressed against his lips, causing his own to turn up a bit at the corners. Jim's reactions are just as good as the physical elements, making Spock desire more. One hand gives up its grip to reach between them, fingers finding the fastenings of Jim's pants even while they grind against each other. ]
[There's a disgruntled blip across their mindscape at Spock's enjoyment. Of course it's gone almost immediately as more of his thoughts are replaced with pure unthinking pleasure. He grinds down once more and up and into Spock's hand. Jim's mouth moves up Spock's jaw and then down his neck, sucking and biting as he goes.]
