For a moment there is silence between them as if they both were taking their words in. Before all of this they had slept together a few times and none of it was shy, none of it had any teasing. It was just them wanting to get their clothes off each other and it didn't matter whose got ripped first just as long as they got it off. In the last ten years she hasn't done anything like that. Giving up sex when she left Jon back in London, giving up everything in London too.
She had distanced herself as much as she could without flipping that switch on her humanity again. She had flipped it back when she saw just had bad she had messed up with everything and it had hurt, it hurt so badly that there had been times when she wondered just why she had done it. Why she had flipped that switch back because there was nothing but pain. But Katherine made sure that she had something to occupy her mind and for a couple or so years that had been getting Adrian back off of human blood and then after that it felt like she had nothing.
Not willing to communicate with Adrian other than when they went to the bars or the odd grunt when they got back, she had shut herself away because it had been so much more easier to do so. It felt so much more easier not to get close to him.
Now in the short space of twenty-four hours she has laughed, smiled, kissed him and now was flirting with him. Even if it was slightly it was still happening. The words between them was definitely more than they had been before.
Katherine watched as he looked down as if she had embarrassed him and for a moment a slight smile pulled at her lips, she has never seen him like this before or at least not with him being a vampire and she chewed on her lip. His eyes then came up to her face and she felt his eyes linger on her eyes and then on her lips and then she watched was he came closer, leaning down he put his lips to hers and it was soft and slow. This kiss definitely was something different from the last time, last time they kissed it had been heated, a very vampire-ish but this time it was soft and slow.
She leaned up into the kiss and kissed him back, her hands moving from her sides to rest on him, one against his chest and the other at the back of his head, her fingers sinking into his hair.

Adrian does not know what he expects to come from this, does not know why the impulse to kiss her had been so strong now of all the years he's spent hovering around her side. But she's pressing her mouth back to his, sweet and willing, fitting herself against him and gripping at his hair. It's been so long since he's shared a kiss like this with anyone, unhurried by the want to feel skin or release. Centuries. The idea of romance, of softness, had not been one he'd allowed himself to think about in the years that followed his transformation, replaced entirely by the strictly unfeeling desire for sex to curb the anger he'd felt all this time. His kisses have been rough, sloppy, wanting. Not...this.
Not slow, not quiet, not timid.
The last had been Tauriel. Had been a goodbye. It's the only time Adrian thinks he has been in love. A love that had been spurned by distance and loyalty and time, only existing in the few meetings they'd had, only existing in the words of a man who believed himself to be dying, only existing in the lingering looks that never came to be anything.
His palm cups at Katherine's cheek as he moves his lips against hers, his other hand falling to her waist to draw her closer with a sense of leisure, all those thoughts of Tauriel somehow drowned out beneath the feel of her mouth against his, her breath mingling with his, her fingers holding on to him.

Katherine had to admit that Adrian has never seen this side to her, there wasn't room for soft kisses and even gentle touches when they had been sleeping together, both of them had been angry over something. Everything. Their kisses had been hard, the need to get each others clothes off. The only two people that has ever seen this soft side was Robb and Jon. Although sometimes without meaning too her vampirism would come through and the kisses would be hard with Jon.
But here was two vampires that were getting away from London and the past that they had left behind and neither of them clearly expected this to happen. His palm cups at her cheek and then his other hand is at her waist pulling her closer to him. She never expected any of this, never expected to wake up this morning and kiss Adrian. It seems like right now everything was slowly unraveling. She was slowly coming out of her shell that she had put around her for so long.
After a moment Katherine pulled back from the kiss softly and slowly and she looked up at him, her dark brown eyes on his. Her hands still on him and she chewed on her lip. "Well I never expected that" Katherine said after a moment and let a small smile pull at her lips once more. She gently leaned her forehead against his and closed her eyes up as her lips were close to his still. "Is that still a maybe on whether you liked the kiss?" she whispered to him as another smile pulled at her features, her eyes still closed.

A long moment passes in comfortable silence as the kiss lingers. Katherine is the first to draw away, but she doesn't move very far. His palm continues to rest upon her cheek as she leans her forehead against his, keeping the closeness between them. A smile tugs at Adrian's lips at her teasing question, a small breath of a laugh escaping him. He opens his brows eyes to glance over her face and stroke his thumb across her cheekbone until his hand drifts free to brush her somewhat untamed hair back.
"Might have to think about it for a little longer," he replies, the smile ticking further.
But truth be told, he did like it. More than he expected to. More than he thought possible with the same woman who's hounded his every decision for the last six centuries. Maybe it's the circumstances they've found themselves in. Isolated, alone, wounded but healing. Maybe they were bound to try to find some sort of comfort in each other, but Adrian had long realized that maybe they were just too different. Just too separated. Just too broken. But he likes this, much better than the alternative, much better than sitting in silence from opposite sides of the room, trying their hardest to avoid the unspoken reality of their situation. And while it was never a kiss he expected, he's glad it was.
He leans forward to kiss the corner of her lips once more, a soft short touch.

Katherine huffs out a soft laugh when he teases her and honestly it feels a little nice to laugh. It feels a little nice to just let go for a little bit, she has felt guilt and anger at herself for the last ten years and honestly she was a little tired of keeping it all to herself but she couldn't share it with him just yet, she didn't feel like dropping everything on him just like that.
Maybe they needed this, they needed the comfort because they were both vampires and they were both running away from their past. They both were running away from London and maybe for a little bit they needed to stop and just stay in one place for a moment. He moved her hair back from her face and she felt safe for a little bit. Felt safe in his arms because it felt like he chased away her demons for a little bit. He kept them at bay and she was able to breathe for a little while even if that seemed silly to a vampire. Maybe this is what they both needed for a little while.
Two people who had suffered a lot could make each other feel better by this, whatever this actually was.
Adrian leans forward and kissed the corner of her lips and it was soft and short and it felt nice.
"If you think too much it's going to hurt that brain of yours" she teased after he let the soft kiss against the corner of her lips.
Katherine moves her hand away from the back of his head to the hair that had fallen down over his eye and she moved it back, her brown eyes looking over him after she had moved her head from his forehead.

She brushes the hair from his face, and the smile curves a little further on his lips. "Then I'll only have my looks to rely on." He teases back. It feels good to finally joke around with someone when it's not forced or one sided. He's tried for years now to make her laugh and smile with half-hearted sarcasm and badly timed quips, but it hasn't had much more effect than making her walk away from him to be alone. But here she is, smiling and laughing and teasing back as if all of those years had just been a single bad afternoon. It makes him feel like himself again.
Not the surly, drunk, promiscuous vampire that's inhabited his bones for centuries. Not the angry man who's been lashing out in his own mind. But himself. The old him. The boy with the bow and the reckless attitude. He's missed that part of him. Missed being Kili.
They stand for another moment, the quiet filtering in between them, but not like it used to. Clearing his throat, Adrian finally releases her waist and lifts a hand to scratch lightly just beneath his earlobe. "Anyway. Should we erm..." he falters for a moment, trying to think of what else there is to do besides wallow in liquor and sulk in the shadows as they have been for more than a decade, "Christ, what is there to do in this city anyway?" He asks, snorting out a laugh.

Katherine snorts softly when he said about relying on his looks. For the first time in a long time she could see Kili in him, she could see the young man who had come to her castle from the other side of the wall and would flirt with her and make a smile appear on her face just by his words. It was nice to see the old him back and not the vampire who always said that he was cursed. Sometimes underneath all of that pain and anger and hunger there was their human soul and sometimes vampires tapped into it and others just let it go when they died but she made sure to always keep hold of hers. To always make sure that she done human things.
Even if it was constantly pointed out to her that she wasn't, in fact, human.
He seemed to get a little flustered and she couldn't help but smile when he spoke again and she slowly moved her hands away from him just after he let his fall from her. "Well we could get dressed up and go out for the day, not sure where we can go but something tells me that it's time we went out rather than sitting here in this flat" she looked up at him once more and let a smile appear on her lips once more.
Katherine wasn't going to magically get better over night but maybe as each day passes she might be able to handle getting a little better, to finally let everything fall from her mind and move on but for now she was just going to settle for going out for the day and seeing more of this city rather than just seeing what happens at night. Then a grin pulled at her lips and she leaned up and whispered into his ear. "Unless you want to stay here and try out my bed..." she then leaned away from him and raised her eyebrow at him.

Adrian truly doesn't know what lies beyond their front door anymore. In London, it was easy. The city practically reeked of iniquity and entertainment, between gory plays performed with showers of blood, dens filled with opium and expensive foreign liquors, and the brothel, Adrian had had plenty to do in that place. Probably why they ended up in so much trouble. But here... Manhattan is a large city, full of thousands of people. But it's somber. Most people are poor immigrants, barely affording bread each night for their children. And the rich aristocrats keep to themselves, having their own lavish parties somewhere far from the underbelly of the commoners. Drinking is about the only thing there is, and they've already cleaned their way through several bars.
But then again, they haven't really been looking for any other way to distract themselves. They've barely ventured further than their own street, in an attempt to keep to themselves and out of the eyes of wandering passerbys. Maybe there is more that he doesn't know about.
Those thoughts are quickly forgotten when Katherine suddenly leans up towards his ear, whispering a quiet suggestive tease.
Adrian's brows dart upwards in surprise, but at the same moment a slow smile pulls at the corner of his mouth, amused. It then falls away as he inclines his head to the side with a roll, feigning the unsure expression of a deciding man. "Well, I don't know..." He replies, sucking in a deep breath, eyes looking elsewhere and squinting. "I might need a little convincing," he adds on, flicking his eyes back to her. Another quick smile appears on his lips, and he lowers his face back to hers to catch her mouth in another kiss, not so soft this time.

Katherine has to raise her eyebrow at him when he pretended that he needed convincing. If there was one person who didn’t need convincing then it was him. He was practically a walking sin himself but of course she never said that instead she put her hands to her hips and waited for him to finally decide.
She laughed softly just as he put his lips to hers and before long she was pulling him into her room, letting the door shut behind them. No one was likely to walk in but she didn’t care. Katherine quickly got him out of his shirt and for a moment she kissed his chest before coming back to his lips.
It had been a while since they had done this, a very long time since they were taking each other’s clothes off. At that thought she pulled away from his lips and turned so that her back was to his chest and moved her dark hair out of the way and tilted her head slightly. “You know I like it when you kiss my neck” she teased at him.
It didn’t matter if these two lost control with each other because they were pretty much safe together. He could bite her all he liked and she wouldn’t care. Just like the two of them sharing blood. Katherine had heard that it was actually just as personal as having sex. They were pretty used to that.
Katherine felt his lips against her skin on her neck and closed her eyes, pulling her lip in between her teeth as she did so. Sex for a vampire was so heightened that every touch made their bodies come alive and she was definitely going to be alive with him.

Her hands are pulling him across the room as their lips remain connected to one another, the smile still curving along his mouth. She hurries him out of his shirt, tossing the button-up away with the same sort of haste they'd gotten used to years ago. Adrian wets his lips when she lowers herself to kiss at his chest, soft and familiar, before she's turning her back to him and brushing aside her long dark hair. He huffs out a small laugh, liking this new attitude of hers. It's charming, coy -- somehow different than the impatient lusting vampire he'd gotten to know in London.
"Thank you for the reminder," Adrian replies with a hint of sarcasm, using his hand to brush her hair the rest of the way. He sets his other palm at her waist as his lips find her neck, leaving soft kisses along the smooth, delicate skin there, the smell of blood lingering just beneath the surface. But the hunger does not come. Not even a twitch. He grates his teeth gently down her neck's length, before leaving an open-mouthed kiss at the crook where her shoulder connects, wet and warm.
His palm moves up her ribcage to fill itself with her breast through the fabric of her night-dress, kneading it tenderly.

A smile pulls at her lips when he gives her a bit of sarcasm and if she’s honest she has missed this, missed him being sarcastic towards her but then again she didn’t expect anything less from him. He kissed her neck and she can’t help but yield to him. His lips sending sparks through her veins as if he was the fire that was going to burn her.
Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn’t but at the moment she really didn’t care just as long as they had this moment together. There is no words that is needed to be said between them because their lips and their hands say it all.
This definitely wasn’t what she expected when she had woken up this morning. This wasn’t what she had thought would happen last night or even the night before. Katherine never prepared for this moment but then again does anyone?
His hand moved up from her waist and his palm starts kneading her breast through her nightdress and she lean so her head back against his shoulder for a moment as a noise came out of her mouth. Soft and pleasurable. The last time they did this there wasn’t any of this in fact within a second they had ripped each other’s clothes off and got down to business.
But this time it felt like he wanted to explore her, he wanted to see just which bits made her tick. What would make her moan or maybe he just liked touching her. Either way it didn’t matter because just touching her like this was making it feel good. After a moment she moved away and turned to look back at him.
Latjerine undone her nightdress and then let it fall to the ground. Her body on display for him to see. There was two ways they could do this. Fast and vampire way or they could take it slow and he could just see how she really ticked. She reached out after a moment, putting her hand to the back of his neck and pulled her towards him in a soft kiss.

She makes a soft noise, a pleased noise, her head coming to rest back against him, and it makes the heat swell at the base of his belly. They were never like this before. There was no real buildup, no flirting, no exploring. It always happened spontaneously, decided upon in a single instant as their mouths crashed together and their hands fumbled to get each other undressed, hurrying to the bed and not really caring how they ended up as long as they got what they wanted. But they're taking their time here -- kissing, touching, whispering soft teases to one another between taking off pieces of clothing.
He prefers this. Something he never quite expected to be true.
She pulls away from him from let her nightgown slide down her body, revealing the long expanse of her bronze skin. Adrian finds himself looking over her, taking her in, in ways he'd only done briefly in their quick rush to bed before. But she brings him back in for a kiss after too long, and Adrian sinks back into it, deepening it, letting his hands skim across her bare skin as he pulls her tight against him, fingers tracing up the curve of her back.

Vampires were known for their blood and the fact they could be rough but for her she made sure that she said soft. She was told that even though she had been turned her skin remained soft, along with her heart. It's probably why other vampires made sure they stayed away from her so they wouldn't have to be associated with a vampire who continued to be human. Katherine hated that she had been turned so she made it her mission to stay as human as she could and that meant doing things soft and slow.
Of course there were times when she couldn't stop the strength from coming out. There were times when she would let her teeth graze skin but with Adrian she knew she could do that and not have to worry. He had never seen this side to her, he had only seen the side that she wanted to show him. The vampire that liked to yell at him or when they were having sex she would make sure it was rough because of the fact that slow meant it was personal, that she cared and at the time they only needed sex from each other and sometimes they didn't even get it from each other, it depended on the partner.
Adrian deepened the kiss and pulled her closer to him before running his hand up her back. Katherine closed her eyes and swallowed hard even in the kiss because he made her skin prickle. Vampires felt everything so much more higher than humans. Everything was magnified ten times more than it had been. Every kiss, touch and sex were so much more better than when they were human. So of course she wanted him to know what it felt like to have softness.
Katherine pulled back away from the kiss and pulled him towards the bed, she made sure that he laid down first before she got on top of him. She then looked down at him and smiled before she kissed his chest softly, making sure that she took her time as she did so. Letting her fingers run over his skin, Katherine knew just how good it would feel. Her lips then moved to his ear and she whispered softly to him "It feels so much more better when you take it slower" she kissed his cheek softly before moving back to his chest and kissing her way across it, her dark hair tickling his skin too as it fell across her face

His back rests against the mattress as Katherine climbs atop him, knees settling on either side of him, dark hair falling over his chest and face as she bends low to kiss across her chest. Her lips are soft as they move over him, patient, leaving his skin prickled with goosebumps. He releases a quiet, shaky breath and lets his hands settle upon her thighs, running gingerly up their smooth curve to her hips, holding her against him.
As her lips find his ear, whispering once more to him, teasing, a smile ticks at the corner of his mouth until he bites down onto his lower lip for a moment. It's no secret he wants her. No secret that the touch of her mouth, the touch of her skin, spurs the warmth swimming in his belly, but there's something about this -- about the bashful, unhurried way they take these steps -- that rivals the quick rolls in the hay that he's sought out for so long. Even young, even stupid, taking his time wasn't a luxury he had. The girls he met on the road were the kinds he closed himself off with in closets, in barns, in the bed her husband was likely to catch them in. He perfected the art of rough and fast, of hiking skirts high, of quick getaways.
It was fun, reckless, all the things he'd admired about life.
But Katherine is right. This is better. Smoother. Tantalizing.
And yet...
"You're killing me, here..." He breathes out, teasingly, pulling a hand from her hip to push his fingers through her dark hair, holding the back of her head lightly as she continues to kiss across him.

His hands running up her thighs to her hips actually makes her arch up slightly towards his touch. There was just something about the way that he touched her that made her skin start to come alive. Katherine moved her lips over his chest and even smiled against his skin when he teased that she was killing him. Of course he would say that, he wanted to be in her right now. He then put his fingers through her hair before holding the back of her head.
Then after a moment she stopped and looked up at him, her dark eyes on his. She made sure that she got everything on his face. It was one that she was used to right now, one that she could look through a crowd and find if she wanted too. But rather than say all of this she quickly helped him get his pants off and let them fall onto the floor by her bed where her own nightgown was, along with his shirt too.
Katherine got back on top of him and slowly lowered herself on to him before moving against Adrian. She swept her hair back to against her back so that it would tickle her skin when she put her head back. It also meant that it wouldn't stick to her face during the sex. In the beginning she started off slow but she knew it could actually heat up between the two of them and he was more than welcome to take charge anytime he wanted too.
It felt a little strange because for the last ten years they just only managed to exist around each other and now they were sleeping together. She wasn't sure if it was old habits but at the moment they were able to comfort each other in this way if they wanted too and they were.
They so bloody were.
