[ And finally, his fingers rise to Jim's face as well, the tips cool as they caress over his jaw and cheeks, tracing along his eyebrows and the shell of his ear. Spock finally leans in close enough to brush their lips together when he threads one hand into his hair. ]
[Jim sits up a bit straighter, now that Spock was at his usual height and not hunched near his chest. He returns the kiss gently, bringing one hand up to rest on Spock's cheek, the other moving to grip at Spock's hip, no longer needing the extra support to sit up. And if he nips at Spock's bottom lip, it's not too hard.]
[ He sighs lightly against Jim's mouth at the nip, the hand in his hair sliding to the back of Jim's head, holding him close. He nips back at Jim's lip, and it's followed by a surge of determination within the link, Spock gathering courage for something ...
When the he completes the nip, lightly worrying at Jim's lip with his teeth, Spock breathes out against his mouth, the words soft and quiet and, surprisingly, in Vulcan. ]
[There's a small pleased sound that escapes his throat when Spock bites back.
His eyes had slid shut while they kissed and he reopens them when he feels Spock steeling himself for...whatever he's just said. A small thrill goes through him. Spock doesn't use Vulcan at random. He licks his lips before asking, by way of saying:]
[ Oh. There's a pause in Spock's movements, a hitch in his thoughts—the determination experiencing something like a hiccup. It dims Spock's thoughts for a moment before he recovers quickly, the blip lasting for maybe less than a second as Spock resettles his thoughts.
The emotions behind the surface of the link churn briefly, as if he's debating how best to answer without betraying too much of himself, not allowing himself to be swept up in the emotions. He settles on a more clinical explanation: ]
Taluhk translates to something of value or precious. The layered meanings include the following: of great importance, having admirable or esteemed qualities or characteristics. [ A minor wave of hesitancy enters his thoughts as he continues. ] To be thought of as valuable, highly esteemed, dear to one's self or to others ... cherished.
[Jim feels the mental stutter and when Spock starts talking and Jim starts to correlate his words with his emotional state...well, now he knows where it came from.
There's a soft flutter from his end of the bond that's extinguished abruptly as Spock's words make his breath catch. There's a tightness in his chest that's not unpleasant.
He reaches up with his other hand so that they both frame Spock's face, their physical link quite strong with this amount of contact and proximity, in order to let the emotions welling up in him to flow freely towards Spock's mind.
There was no denying it anymore. It was pure, complicated love that squeezed at his heart and made him want to sink into Spock's essence, body and soul. And it terrified him, roots running deep and far from the surface of his mind. He couldn't say it out loud. Not yet. Underneath that was an equally strong wave of gratitude, that even more complicated than the love.]
[ Spock had unconsciously turned his face away when his thoughts stuttered, an attempt to save face in the emotional context of the conversation. But he turns back when Jim cups his other cheek, meeting Jim's eyes once again.
Now it's his breath that hitches in his throat as the wave of Jim's emotions flows through the link, eclipsing his own hesitancy. Spock responds to it immediately, an echoing wave of his own rising up to meet Jim's.
Spock's voice is even softer now, with a barely detectable tremble, ] It is a phrase often used between bondmates. Is this ... acceptable to you?
[Whatever his own hangups are, he can at least definitely feel Spock returning those feelings. They're real. He tries to store this feeling away in his memories to pull up later.
[ The rest of Spock's tension melts away at the kiss, leaving him feeling much more grounded now, his earlier hesitation gone.
As the kiss continues, it grows more bold, deepening with fervor now, and Spock switches easily to speaking telepathically again, not wanting to break the kiss. ]
[Jim is relieved when the hesitation passes, eagerly allowing the deepening of the kiss.
At the choice of telepathic words, his chest clenches again. He responds with an air of acquiescence, not knowing how else to respond other than to trust Spock completely to do as he wanted.]
[ Spock continues to deepen the kiss, only pulling back when they both require air, though when he pulls back, it's with one last nip to Jim's lower lip.
As they both just breathe for a moment, Spock moves to remove his own top, leaving him as bare chested as Jim. He moves in once more when it's off, still gaining his own breath as he begins the slow process of mapping out Jim's lower half now. One might think the slow removal of clothing might be arousing, and in a sense it is, but with Spock's purposeful, measured pace, it's strangely more endearing than anything else.
His hands follow the curves of Jim's hips, moving from his straddling position over Jim to slide further down the bed, gently tugging down his clothing as he goes. ]
[When Spock removes his own shirt, Jim immediately places his hands over the newly bared skin, running them over the planes of his collar bones, his shoulders, his chest. If he's honest, it's taking a lot of effort not to pick up the pace himself. He's mostly curious at the mood and pace Spock is setting, so he holds back.
He only helps by lifting his hips to get the clothing down his legs properly, feeling oddly bare when he usually doesn't think twice about being naked.]
[ When Spock detects that hint of self-consciousness, he pauses in his lavishing attention on Jim's lower half (though, perhaps strangely, Spock is avoiding his more private areas, instead concentrating on his other bits of skin), leaning back up to kiss him soundly, a cool hand curling at the back of his neck. He continues until the sense of bareness fades from Jim's mind. ]
[That was strange--at least to Jim--but he doesn't have much time to contemplate it with the firm kiss that comes his way. Jim indulges himself in it, his own hands coming up to play at the waistband of Spock's pants, fingers running up and under it, general question arising across their link of whether Spock wants to run the show and have Jim be more responsive, or if Spock wants him to participate more freely.
The self-consciousness fades quickly enough, again overtaken by curiosity.]
[ Spock actually encourages Jim's playing with this pajama bottoms, the ultimate goal is for them to be naked together. He leaves the answer for Jim to decide, but Spock's plan is still forefront in his mind.
Once his bottoms are off, Jim will see that Spock is already on his way to hardness, his cock standing at half attention. But he seems to ignore himself for the moment, turning his concentration back on Jim. He slides back down the bed when Jim's self-consciousness ebbs away, directing his mouth to leave a cool trail down the side of his hip, dragging his teeth along the way. It's like he's trying to memorize every inch of Jim's body again, a hand running down the inside of his thigh and calf before he switches sides to cover the same areas. ]
[Being this deliberate with his movements, like Spock has never seen him before, tugs at something deep within him.
He's much more affected than Spock--completely hard at this point, but still too curious about Spock's actions to encourage him to move faster. He's not sure whether he wants to lean back and just feel or continue watching what Spock is doing, mesmerized by the attention that's being lavished on him. For now though, he keeps his undivided attention on Spock.]
[ The rose gold thread originating from their bond reaches out over the link, reaching out to that deep feeling, straining to bring it out closer to the surface, illuminating it with the thread's glow. Spock glances up at Jim every so often,his lips still trailing along his skin as he meets and hold Jim's eyes for a few seconds then closing as he concentrates on suckling a particular patch of skin.
Spock goes down as far as Jim's knees before he starts to sit back up. He lays a cool hand on Jim's side, encouraging him to roll onto his side. While he rolls, Spock reaches for the nearby nightstand, having supplied its drawer with lube long ago when it was clear Jim would frequently come over. He shifts to lay on his own side behind Jim, his front to Jim's back, hand trailing along his shoulder and down his hip. ]
[Okay yes, Jim is glad he's watching now when Spock goes to look up at him. That rose gold thread pulls up that awe once more at seeing Spock work him over so thoroughly--there's no reason to do it except for Jim's benefit that he can think of. Of course, it's working in making Jim want more, faster but there's something, well, far more emotional to it that he doesn't want to skip out on right this second.
He does as Spock prompts, turning onto his side, a slight shiver running down his spine between the proximity of Spock's body to his own and the light touches down his side. He does his best to project how much he's enjoying this while keeping his desire to go faster at bay.]
[ He presses close to Jim's body, one arm holding him close from underneath, the other sliding down his backside. He prepares his fingers while he kisses and suckles at the back of Jim's neck, pulling his mouth back only when he slides his fingers inside.
Like all his other movements so far, he prepares Jim slowly, letting Jim feel every slide of fingers inside him, every sensation Spock draws out of him. He hoods Jim close while doing this, his other cool hand pressed over Jim's heart. ]
[Spock draws out small groans--some palpable from deep within his chest--from Jim when his fingers hit particularly sensitive areas. One hand reaches back behind him to run his fingers through Spock's hair, somewhat roughly grabbing at it. He doesn't realize he's being a bit rough, instead focusing on Spock's movements and where his cool skin makes contact. And when he's wrapped up like this, it's easy to let himself go and lose himself in sensation.]+
[ He lingers in those areas, fingertips pressing against them for longer and longer increments, gradually adding more fingers to prepare Jim. Spock doesn't even mind the hair-grabbing, merely turning his head where Jim pulls him, pressing his mouth where he can – against Jim's hairline, behind his ear, teeth dragging across his earlobe.
After several full, long minutes Spock begins to withdraw his fingers, one at a time just as how they went in. He only takes a moment to prepare his own self before he shifts on the bed, scooting closer to press in. Spock grips Jim's hip to hold him steady as he begins to press in, resting his forehead against the back of Jim's shoulder. He seats himself inside Jim just as slow as anything else he's done so far, probably agonizingly slow for Jim's taste.
Though once he's pressed in ... he simply holds there, unmoving. The grip on Jim's hip is firm, his body cool against Jim's back but his breath warm against Jim's neck. ]
