Since Warren disappeared back into a past she'll never know, Laura's felt more numb than anything. Something else should be there, some sensation besides he was here and now he's gone, but life doesn't seem to change much. She fights bad guys. She eats Chinese food. She falls asleep during a Golden Girls marathon with Gabby and wakes up at three AM with Jonathan sitting on her chest, staring unblinking into her eyes.

And if she misses Warren--or Scott, or Bobby, any of them--the feeling lives someplace inside her without drawing attention to itself. She does miss them, she knows that much intellectually, but she does not want to dredge up the sensation if it's willing to lay dormant someplace inside her.

More than anything, she's restless. And one night, when Gabby and Jonathan have both been invited to the school for some kind of party ("It's a lock-in," Gabby'd explained, "and I'm only going because there's going to be nachos"--which is true, if only because Gabby's never actually been a student there), Laura goes out, too. Not as X-23, but as Laura Kinney, in a leather jacket and black jeans, sitting down at a cheap bar beside a curly-haired girl and ordering a beer.

This, she knows, is how Logan would deal with heartache. She's not sure that's what she's feeling, and she knows better than to take Logan's habits as suggestions in general, but she's willing to give it a try.

She tries to make it a little less awkward by propping one foot up on the adjacent counter and shifting her hips forward, but her foot doesn't really gain purchase and her butt slides on the tile suddenly, startling a laugh out of her. But she catches herself and it's not enough to deter her from anything that's happening so she's quick to regain her grip on Laura.

It's a good thing Tessa's not a manipulative person, or she might try to arrange more scenarios where this kind of make-up is involved. But she's not, and all she wants to arrange is making Laura quiver and squirm the way she's making Tessa do now.

[justashotaway]

Fortunately, manipulation isn't strictly necessary; they can recreate the sexy parts of this morning any time they aren't at Laura's place. Maybe even the funny parts. After all, Laura's never before had anyone's vulva thrust so directly in her face that her cheek ends up pressed up against it for a moment. Her reactions are all instinct, grabbing hard at Tessa's ass and hip in an attempt to keep her from falling off the counter, squinching her eyes shut.

"If you're not interested in foreplay, you're welcome to say so," Laura informs her, glancing up from behind a few wayward strands of hair. And, while it's meant as deadpan, she's going to take the hint, shifting so it's her mouth that ends up at Tessa's inner lips this time, not her cheekbone.

[sulahnan]

"I ahh-am! Ohmygod," Her voice pitches up, pretty sure that Laura's making a joke but then her mouth is there and Tessa has to grip the edge of the counter to anchor herself. She could stand to have Laura grab her ass like that more often, because wow that's hot. "I slipped and you knowwwIT OH god yes--"

The leg she'd tried to prop up on the adjacent counter is hooked over Laura's shoulder, the non-anchoring hand retaining its position in her hair as Tessa gasps and moans and lets her head fall back. And she laughs, because sex is fun and it should be fun and not always as serious or Aesthetique(tm) as a lot of people write it idk but also she laughs because for whatever reason her brain decides to ponder how super strength translates into tongues.

Also more breathy oh my gods because at this point it's like a sex mantra.

Sex is fun, or can be, at least--and with Tessa, it always is, even if it gets a little awkward at times. (And isn't that the best kind to write? Things happen.) Laura likes hearing her laugh, though the best sound is when she can't seem to decide between laughter and moaning, apparently rendered unable to finish a sentence when Laura's tongue pushes inside her, her fingers coming back to her clit.

Fortunately, they won't have to figure out what a super-tongue might do to some mere mortal's vaginal entrance before breakfast; it's one ability Laura doesn't have. (Ask Rogue, maybe. But not while Laura's around, because she really doesn't need to think about how Gambit fucks.) Right now, especially, she'd be hardpressed to lay claim to any kind of strength, physical or otherwise; it's only the threat of Tessa falling off the counter that keeps Laura holding onto her, rather than shoving a hand down her own sweatpants.

[sulahnan]

That's probably a good thing, anyway, since Tessa already has a hairpin trigger for regular-strength oral. And non-oral. Just generally easy to please.

It doesn't take long to make her orgasm, her whole body trembling with pleasure and her grip tightening. It's mostly reflex but it's also strategic, so when she's able she can pull Laura up to kiss her. Tessa snakes her hand down the front of Laura's sweatpants and slides her fingers on either side of her clit. It's a particular blend of straight-to-the-point and teasing that pretty much sums up Tessa's whole character.
