Closed 🌺 Exploration [Voice Testing]

---

She didn't know what to make of this place. The world was paved and bordered with cement while tall buildings set in the skyline. She's been traveling for awhile now but each new city and each new town surprised her. This one was no different. She paused by the park, watching as the children played and smiled. The world was a mixture of dark and light, with buildings blotting out the sun but laughter filling the sweet crisp air. It was a balance that she couldn't disrupt nor did she attempt to try.

There was something here, hidden beneath the city... a story that had to be told and she was searching for it.

It was a tiring walk and she didn't have money for a hotel. She found a seat on a park bench, watching as people past and sirens echoed through the city. A fountain bubbled and curled in front of her while a man with a violin began to play. She didn't have the money she needed but she pulled out a dollar and set it in the violinist's case before retaking her seat on the bench.

Her long hair was tied in two pigtails while a warm jacket covered her shoulders. She didn't need the jacket but there was something comforting in the weight of the material against her skin. A shadow fell over her and her chin lifted. "Can I help you?"

Her smile widened as Sam's palms glided around her waist and began to move to the beat of the music. It was a little too fast for the slow swaying pace they had begun but it was comfortable and she didn't want to dull the moment by trying to keep up with those around them.

Her hips brushed against his as she closed the distance between them and lightly leaned her head on his shoulder. "Me too."

She hadn't expected to have fun in this city. Even if she can't stay, she's happy to have this time here.

Sam was having a great time dancing, mostly because of Gwen. He even stopped being super self-conscious about his dancing after a bit and just had a fun time with her. The only time that things seemed to have gotten tense was when he went to get them both a drink and came back to find some other guy trying to dance with her. Gwen had let the guy know the person she came with was back and she was so sweet about it the guy just moved on. It was amazing.

By the time the party was winding down Sam was slightly buzzed. Whether that was because of the drinks or Gwen he couldn't tell.

"Hey. Hey. You ready to go home?"

[unknownmoirai]

She'd been having fun and enjoying herself. There were times when it looked like conflict might arise but Gwen always smoothed it over. She was here to hang out with Sam and that wasn't going to change. She continued to relax as the party continued and by the end of it, she felt more than a little buzzed.

She leaned forward as Sam spoke and nodded her head in response.

"Yeah. Let's go."

[not_so_smooth]

Sam took her by the hand and pulled her out of the house and into the cool night air. It was a little bit sobering in a way, making him feel more alive. He'd had more fun at that party than he'd ever had at a party before and he knew that was all because of Gwen.

"So what do you think? Should we do that again sometime?"

[unknownmoirai]

"Yeah. If you'd like too. I really liked dancing with you."

She smiled at him, the cool night air turning her cheeks a darker shade of pink as they walked towards the streets. "Where are we going? Do you live close?" She hadn't asked before since she was going to end up at his place but now she was wondering how far they'd have to walk.

"It's a little cold tonight."

[not_so_smooth]

“We can go to another party soon. There’s always a party someone at college,” he said. Of course he hadn’t cared too much about that sort of stuff before but now that he had someone to go with...

“Oh, yeah, we’re not too far. Like half a mile. Here, if you’re cold,” Sam moved a bit closer and put an arm around her, holding her a bit closer. You know, to keep her warm.

[unknownmoirai]

"I thought you were supposed to learn in college." She leaned against him, stumbling just a little bit as the world tilted at odd angles. She doesn't have any practice drinking and the effects have left her a little light headed and giggly.

"Thank you Sam."

Her head rested on his shoulder as she followed him to his place. "This is much warmer."

[not_so_smooth]

"Yeah but you have to party in order to blow off steam. You can't just study all the time. You have to have fun so you know how miserable the studying actually is," Sam joked. At least he was mostly joking, what he'd said seemed like the sort of deep thing you came up with while tipsy. Or just when you were in college and thought you were smart enough to think really deep thoughts.

"Good. I wouldn't want you to be cold."

[unknownmoirai]

She laughed, her voice muffled as she nuzzles against his side. "I like studying." She had been intended to be part of the Keepers and all they did was study. It was something that she loved though this was a lot of fun too.

"I'm not cold with you."

Gwen followed him to his apartment and only when they arrived did she ask, "What about your roommate? Did we leave him behind?"

[not_so_smooth]

Sam couldn't quite to reply to the warm comment just because he was too focused on how she felt against him and how she was cuddling against him. She felt really warm herself, or maybe she just made him feel warm with how he felt about her.

"Oh. Uh. Leo is out. For the night. All night. So it's just you and me."

[unknownmoirai]

"Alright."

She wanted to look at them while they talked but Gwen didn't think she could walk, talk and look at Sam all at the same time. She was feeling a little dizzy and the world felt a little disjointed. "I didn't scare him away, did I?"

She miss-stepped and stumbled a little, falling against Sam as she steadied herself. "Oh. I'm sorry."

[not_so_smooth]

"Are you kidding? I don't think anyone could be scared of you. Everyone at that party wanted to be your best friend," Sam said. He'd been slightly jealous of it all at first until he realized that while she was very polite to them she clearly wanted to spend most of her time and attention on Sam.

"And I think you're a little drunk," he said with a laugh, stumbling a bit with her as he tried to keep her upright.

[unknownmoirai]

She hadn't notice how many people had wanted her attention. She'd been polite but her focus had remained on Sam the whole evening.

She laughed, her voice bright and warm as she clung to Sam's side. "I think I'm drunk too." She wrapped her arms around his neck and met his gaze with flushed cheeks and a giggly smile.

"Is your place close? I'd really like to lay down."

[not_so_smooth]

"Uhhhhhhh..."

That was all she was going to get out of him for a moment because his brain was pretty much broken over the fact that she was clinging to him so closely. He shook his head clear after a moment.

"Yeah it's the place right behind you."

[unknownmoirai]

Her grip on him loosens just enough for her to turn and see the building behind them. It's close. Her vision blurs and the world continues to tilt at an uncomfortable angle but she thinks she can make it.

She has an end goal now.

"Oh. That isn't far." She loosened her hold a little more so that they could walk comfortably side by side. Her palm glided down Sam's arm and gently took his hand before tugging him forward. "Let's go." It's so close and she really wanted to just lay down.

[not_so_smooth]

“To the house!” He said, leading her to the apartment that he and Leo shared together. It wasn’t anything fancy but it wasn’t a dump either so he wasn’t overly embarrassed bringing her inside, silently giving thanks that they’d just cleaned up the night before.

“Come on, my room is back here. You can collapse on my bed,” he told her leading her down the hallway as he tried not to think about how crazy this was.

[unknownmoirai]

"Okay." She followed him inside and then down the long hallway. It felt like the hallway stretched on forever and then twisted and curled onto its side. It was unsettling and inspired her to close her eyes as he lead her towards his bed room.

Once they were inside the small room, she opened her eyes and stumbled towards the bed. She sat without incident but left Sam behind in the process.

"Could I have some water before we sleep?" Her throat was dry and it was starting to get uncomfortable.

[not_so_smooth]

"Yeah sure just... why don't you go to the bathroom and shower or whatever and I'll get you some water?" Sam said. He didn't care so much about if she wanted to shower it was just that as gorgeous as she was he did not want her passing out and peeing on his bed. That would be more than a little uncomfortable.

[unknownmoirai]

"I don't have to go to the bathroom." She sat on his bed and sighed while rocking her head gently back and forth. "I went before we left." It'd been a little while ago but it wasn't so long ago that she had to go again.

"I just feel... very hot."

Her fingers delicately tugged at her jacket, dropping it onto the floor before following with her scarf and boots. She was left in only a white lacy dress. "Can you help me get these buttons?" The dress was lovely but it had toggle buttons trailing from the top of her neck all the way to below her hip.

"It's just so warm in here."

[not_so_smooth]

“Oh. Um. Okay, of course. It’s warm in here,” Sam said, not thinking it was all that warm. But if the super hot girl said it was warm then it was warm. Of course as he started to fiddle with the buttons on her dress he did start to feel warmer, but just for different reasons.

“These are really hard buttons to unbutton,” he said, fingers fumbling a bit in excitement and drunkenness. Eventually though he got most of them undone. “There you go.”

[unknownmoirai]

She was patient as Sam slowly unfastened the buttons trailing along the back of her dress. She felt the brush of his fingers against her skin as he went, light little touches that sent the pleasant heat of fire down her spine. "I'm sorry. This is the only dress I own."

The white lacy slipped off her shoulders revealing silky soft pale skin. She was wearing a pair of panties but Sam would so discover that Gwen didn't wear bra's.

Exposed, she slipped out of her dress, allowing the fabric to gather on the floor as she stretched out on Sam's bed. Her lips tugged into a blissful smile while her long blond hair fanned around her head in a halo. "This is perfect." Her chest rose as she inhaled and the peaks of her breasts hardened in the presence of the air.

Her head tilted to the side as she looked up at him, her arm outstretched above her head with the lovely shape of her frame on display. "Will you lay with me?"

Even before getting drunk, she hadn't intended to kick Sam out of his bed and had much rather they share it. There was room, as long as he didn't mind getting very close.

[not_so_smooth]

"Perfect. Yeah. Definitely perfect. You are definitely perfect and just... wow," he said, caught between feeling like he shouldn't look but wanting to look because she was so hot and so topless. Was he supposed to look or was she drunk on not realizing what was happening?

"Yeah, yeah I can- I can lay with you. On the bed. If you want," he said with a nod. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to take his clothes off or not. In the end he just settled for removing his socks and shoes before laying down next to her.

[unknownmoirai]

Her body flushed as his eyes traveled along her frame. She didn't intend to make him stare or uncomfortable and being naked wasn't always sexual but something about his stare made her mouth dry and her head spin.

...or that was the liquor.

She didn't know but it felt good. Her pulse was racing and she couldn't shake the smile forming on her lips. "I do want it." She reached for him as he slid into bed and curled against his side, pressing her breasts against his chest as she nuzzled her face against the crook of his shoulder.

"You're so warm." But it was a good warmth. Not stiffing like her clothes had been. "Thank you Sam. I had such a wonderful time with you." Her leg slid along his as she inhaled the pleasant scent of his skin.

[not_so_smooth]

Sam just sort of froze in place for a moment as she curled up against him. She was right, she did feel warm. She also felt very naked and very close to him, close enough he could feel so many of her curves. They were very, very good curves.

When she ran a leg over his he sucked in a breath and tried to focus on anything else to stop the bulge in his pants from growing. He really wasn't successful and just... hoped she wouldn't notice. He kinda doubted it though.

"I'm- I'm glad you had fun. You're fun. I mean I had fun with you."

[unknownmoirai]

Her lips moved to the shell of his ear before nuzzling against the rough curve of his neck. "Good." It was pleasant holding him but she noticed that he wasn't holding her back.

Was this okay?

Her calf dragged down his and she shifted so that she was partly on top of him. It was then that she felt his erection on her hip, hot and demanding attention as it pressed against her bare skin. Her pulse race and her breath quickened. The reaction surprised her.

"Sam?" Her palm trailed down his chest and came to a rest just above his crotch. "I-" Her throat dried. "May I?" Her cheeks flushed and her heart hammered in her chest.

"I feel- something else." Something that was very new.
