His fingers against her skin makes her gasp softly against his lips and she knows that that was going to happen a few times when he touched her. But she didn’t want him to stop because of the fact that she wanted to give into something that she hasn’t felt in a while. While her face was like Katherine’s Lexi was dealing with her own heartbreak and she had put all of her time and energy into finding out about her history and hadn’t had sex in a while so here she was giving into something for the night.
Lexi couldn’t help but grin as he undone the buttons on her shirt. Her black bra showing when he parted her shirt to run his hands back over her. He parted their lips a little and spoke about the words she had said the night before and she couldn’t help the smile this time pulling at her lips. He moved her shirt from her shoulders and it fell down onto the floor before she moved her hands to the bottom of his blue shirt and honestly liked how it was snug against his chest.
She kissed the corner of his mouth before she let her hands pull his shirt up and off and let it fall into the floor with the other bit of their clothes. Lexi moved her hands down his chest her fingers lightly marking his skin before her lips fell against his chest.
Lexi kissed his scars before she brushed her lips over the rest of his skin and then she moved up and captured his lips with her before turning so that he was back to the bed before she let him undo the buttons on her jeans and she shimmied them down her hips and then her thighs before stepping out of them. She then got him out the rest of his clothes before they fell together in the bed. They moved together.
This definitely wasn’t what Lexi had come to London for but that wasn’t stopping her from moving her hips with him.

He dreams a different dream that night. A dream of the stars. Silver and bright and pulling him closer. They feel familiar as they glitter across an ebony sky, like an old story he'd forgotten. An old path he once walked, but a journey he never finished. He wants to reach towards them, pluck them like jewels from the heavens.
But not yet.
The squeal of brakes somewhere underground pulls him from his dreams, grating against his eardrums harshly. His eyes split apart, a breath pulling in deep into his lungs at the suddenness of it, but a weight upon his chest holds him still upon the bed. The curtains are drawn, but still pale sunlight drifts in to the room, lighting across the decorated walls and the length of olive skin draped over him. Her pulse thrums evenly against his ribs, a slow, lulling beat, her breath tickling across his bare chest. He relaxes slowly once more, the sounds of the city fading again into the background of his mind.
He doesn't remember falling asleep, though he does not need a clock to know its been hours. Her warmth has soaked through him entirely, more comforting than a blanket, softer than all the silk in the world. He exhales the breath back out of his lungs slowly, and lets his head fall back against the pillow.
"Mahal..." he murmurs, more like a swear than a prayer. "You idiot."

Lexi felt movement even if it was a little and she moved herself again that was only a little bit as if she was trying to get comfortable. It was then that she slowly opened her eyes and saw a mans chest and everything then came back to her. She had taken Adrian back to her hotel room and they had slept together. This definitely hadn’t been what she had expecting to happen here in London but she had to admit that it definitely wasn’t the worst decision that she had made. She knew that sleeping with a vampire was definitely different than sleeping with a human there just different ways in which they got things done.
She didn’t regret this happening because of the fact that she was moving on from her broken marriage. And she was more than happy with that but there was a bit that worries her about Adrian and how she has Katherine’s face. Lexi didn’t want to be his Katherine and she even refused to be that if that is what happened the night before.
Lexi slowly lifted her eyes up to see if he was still asleep but he wasn’t, he was awake and she gave him a very sleepy smile. “Good morning” she said softly and pushed her eyebrows together “It is morning right?” She mumbled and would’ve moved to check the time but Lexi was comfortable where she was. She knew it was taking a risk getting involved with anyone but knew it was a bigger risk getting involved with a vampire because of the blood lust but he definitely looked like he had it in control.
She moved her arm from across his chest and pushed her hand to push back some strands of her dark hair. Lexi has to admit that was the best sleep she has gotten in a while but that might be down to the fact that Adrian had worn her out and she had slept right through to the morning and if that was the case then she was happy with that. Of course she would probably have a pissed off Jo wanting to get hold of her but right now she really didn’t care about her cell phone.

Lexi stirs upon his chest, and Adrian rolls his head upwards on the pillow to look down at her. Her honey eyes are meet his, and her smile is sleepy and soft and so human, and that frustration he felt at himself for letting this happen gradually melts away. The list of women he's woken up next to is too long to remember them all, nearly eight hundred years of reckless attraction and feeding appetites making him far less of a romantic and far more of a scoundrel. And though he's been careless in the past, never wanting to settle, never willing to settle save for the few times that have both left him with a chipped heart, he knows -- whether his common sense likes it or not -- that this is different than all of those times.
And maybe that's worse.
"Mornin'." He replies, smiling back at her. "It's...somewhere around there." He admits, having not actually checked the time himself yet. But he can't imagine it being any later than early afternoon. The city is loud outside of these hotel walls, but still quiet enough to put on the air of a million people trying to trudge their way through the morning until lunch.
Adrian moves his hand from the bed sheets at his side to push back a piece of dark hair that Lexi missed in her own attempt, stroking it behind her ear. "How'd you sleep?" He asks, her eyes still looking tired. He's half tempted to tell her to get more rest, tempted to let her lay across him for a few more hours, soaking him through with soothing warmth.

Lexi liked laying here and wants to stay for a little bit longer, while he is a little cold to the touch she is comfortable and while he is a vampire she feels safe in his arms as if the rest of the world doesn’t exist right now. She knows it does because she’s not lucky enough for time to stop for a little bit to let the two of them just have a moment. It might sound silly and might even sound premature but she doesn’t want to leave his side, she wants to bask in his arms and his lips.
She feels his hand come up and move away the strands of hair that she had clearly missed and after he had she kissed his palm softly before taking his hand into hers. Sliding her fingers between his and holding onto it. He would be able to feel her pulse but honestly she didn’t care because Lexi knew he wouldn’t hurt her. Knew that she was safe with him and for that she knew she wanted to stay around for a little while longer.
He asked how she slept and she gave another soft smile. “Better” she admitted. Since splitting from Jake she hadn’t actually slept well and that was nearly a year’s worth of hardly sleeping and it didn’t seem to matter how she tired herself out she just couldn’t sleep and then coming here had left her on American time and being woken up by her mothers morning phone calls just to see if she was still breathing. That might sound silly but her mother worried and Lexi never liked to let her worry like that because she has a good heart and Lexi never liked to hurt her so that is why she keeps picking the phone up early in the morning. Why she keeps FaceTiming her.
“I could happily stay here for a little while longer but I’m not sure if you would like to stay in my bed that long” she admits and watched him for a moment.

Her lips find his palm in a gentle touch, before her fingers lace between his and hold his hand close to her. It's such an innocent thing, such a soft thing, so different than the years he's spent being anything but soft. His smile turns a little warm as he watches her, brown eyes skimming over her face, letting this moment sink in. "Good." He murmurs, and can't help but think that his answer would be the same. For as long as he can remember, he's had only one singular dream, creeping into his mind each time he closes his eyes like some painful reminder of all he's lost. But last night...
Last night he dreamt of starlight.
His gaze meets hers, seeing the offer lingering upon her face, a hesitant question she's dancing around asking. And though Adrian knows that he probably should leave, her bed and her warmth and her watchful eyes are more inviting that the streets outside and his empty flat. What could it hurt, staying here with her for a little longer, enjoying the company?
He parts his lips to answer her, his thumb stroking across her hand as she holds it tightly, but across the other side of the bed his phone chimes in the pocket of his jeans. "Eurgh, shit," he breathes out instead, his brown eyes glancing in that direction, knowing that no one ever calls him unless it's business. Especially not this early in the day.

Lexi watched him and felt his thumb stroke her hand. It’s weird to think that she was here with him in this moment. The two of them had fallen into bed after the drinks the night before clinging onto the need to get closer and to give into the want that had settled between the both of them. They had ripped each other’s clothes off but she had clung to him as he had taken her for that ride of pleasure. Her fingers had explored his body and her lips had brushed against his jawline and honestly she hadn’t thought of anyone but him the whole time. Her mind too amazed by this man.
She could see that he was about to answer her but she heard his cell going off and she looked in the direction of his jacket and chewed on her lip. Lexi probably had calls from her mother to answer, texts that told her her mother would be over on the next flight if she didn’t answer. She could handle most things but her mother wasn’t one of them right now.
Lexi chewed on her lip gently and then kissed his hand once more “You should get that” she said softly and smiled before she slipped her hand out of his and moved her head away from his chest. She slowly slid herself over to her own pillow and pulled the blankets up to her chest. He might’ve seen her naked the night before, traced her body with his fingers and his lips but he had an important call to take so he didn’t need to be distracted by her.
She reached over and grabbed her own cell from the bedside cabinet and found that she had over forty calls and yet she hadn’t heard the cell go off so that meant she really did sleep better than she originally thought.

Lexi shifts away from him, taking the warmth with her. His gaze trails after her for a moment as his phone continues to chime impatiently, wanting nothing more than to ignore whatever trouble someone has found themselves in just so he can pull her back, just so he can wrap his arms around her, just so he can catch her lips in another kiss. But she rolls to the other side of the bed and reaches for her own phone, the moment lost. He sighs out a breath, and pushes himself up to sit upon the edge of the bed.
He digs through their pile of clothes strewn haphazardly across the floor before finally finding his jeans, tugging the phone loose from the back pocket. Resting his elbows upon his knees, he presses the phone to his ear and pinches the bridge of his nose with his other hand. "What is it?" He asks, voice low.
"Am I interrupting something?" A familiar voice chimes on the other end, a bit sarcastic and a bit too cheeky for the morning. Adrian is already tempted to hang up on him just for the reminder that Lexi lies right behind, covered in nothing more than a blanket.
"Luca." Adrian says instead, his lack of amusement plain in his tone as he blinks slowly towards the curtained window.
"I'll take that as a yes," the kid snorts on the other end, the sounds of traffic leaking in around his voice. "So I'll make this quick. That rentacop we paid off wants more money to keep quiet. Apparently he's grown a back bone since the news started spewing shit about historical value." Adrian turns his head slightly towards Lexi, holding the phone a bit tighter to his ear, and glancing briefly back. "He's threatenin' to start describing faces."
"Deal with it." Adrian replies, looking straight ahead once more.
"I don't exactly have your talent for that shit." Luca retorts, the meaning clear behind his words.
"Find someone else who does."
"Yeah, but then Murdoch will start talking fair cuts and black market deals and 'oo does Durin t'ink he is," Luca mimics a poor Belfast accent, deepening his voice and finding a bit of dry humor in it. "And the poor bastard will probably end up choking on his own plastic badge." Adrian heaves out a sigh, wanting to end this conversation as quickly as possible, this neither the time nor the place to be discussing any of it.
"Set up a meeting. Text me the details. Don't call." Adrian replies, curtly, and then pulls the phone from his ear to end the call.

Lexi looks over at his back after he gets to the edge of the bed and chews on her lip and tries not to let it show that she is listening to his side of the conversation that is. When he glances towards her she lowers her eyes down to her own cell and sends a message to her mother saying that she is in fact fine and that she had slept in a little late and that is why she hadn't answered. Honestly the last thing she wants to do is deal with her mother when she worries. So she hopes that that message is enough to actually calm her down for a little while and she promised to speak to her later when she was awake.
She puts the cell on the cupboard once more and puts her hands to her neck gently before rubbing at it. If she hadn't been awake properly before then she certainly was right now and was tempted to call down to see if she could have something brought up to eat and she definitely needed to get herself a coffee. There could be so many things that Lexi could be addicted to but it seems as if coffee is the habit that she had picked up, needing it on days that ended with Y.
Lexi puts her eyes on his back once more when he ends the call before she pulls the covers towards her chest once more and had wanted to lay with him for a little bit longer maybe even let her lips move over his chest so that he could feel it once more but it seemed like the moment has gone but that doesn't stop her from moving back towards him and putting her arms around his chest and leaning her chin on his shoulder. Her lips brushed against his neck softly before she laid a kiss against his skin and put her chin back against his shoulder.
"Do you have to go?" she whispered softly at him.

Not five seconds after hanging up abruptly does a text pop up on the screen of his phone, a single sad-face emoji from L that he's meant to find funny. But Adrian just rolls his eyes, suddenly wondering if this is how Fili felt all those years ago, trying to wrangle him in and smack some sense into his skull. At least back then, they didn't have phones. He tosses it back down onto his pile of clothes near his feet, and turns his head when Lexi's arms wrap around his chest, her body pressing to his back, her lips brushing along his neck.
A smile returns to his lips.
"No," he replies, looking slightly towards her as her chin comes to rest upon his once-wounded shoulder, that warmth finding its way back to his skin. "Not yet." He turns his body a little towards her, and lifts a hand to catch her chin lightly, pulling her face towards him. His mouth catches hers in a kiss, slow but tender, having wanted to do that before phone calls and annoying news interrupted him. He's not going to let the opportunity slip passed him again.
He'd be a fool to let it.

He speaks and looks towards her before speaking once more and turning his body towards her. Adrian's hand catches her on the chin and his lips then comes to hers and the kiss is soft and she sinks into his kiss. Lexi slowly lets her arms move from his chest and she moves a little so that she's at his side but she's sort of facing him too. So she guessed that he was staying for a little bit longer and if she's honest then she's more than happy with that.
She brings her hand up and gently puts it against his cheek and letting her warmth sink into his skin. If she's honest she hasn't done this in a very long time, slept with anyone and that might show a little but she didn't see him complaining. She didn't want him to leave anyway so really this is the perfect time and with their phones put to one side it meant they had a little bit more time together.
Lexi's heart was starting to pound in her chest once more just at his touch, or the way that he kissed or how he even touched her. She hadn't expected to find someone here in London especially when she had put off dating anyone but here she was sinking against his lips, his touch or just his body. She smiles softly before she gently pushed him down onto the bed once more and leaned against him while the rest of her body was leaning against the bed. She moved her lips from his and then put a kiss against his chest once before smiling down at him.
Her eyes moved from his lips up to his own and for a moment she found herself wanting to stay a lot longer in London, to at least see if there was definitely something there between them or if it was just lust on their part.

As the kiss continues, Lexi sinking in as her heartbeat quickens in her chest, making him forget Luca and his troubles entirely, she guides him back down flat upon the bed with her lips and her body. And he follows her lead willingly. He smiles against her mouth, his hand falling from her chin to drift down the length of her side and settle at her waist, pulling her tighter against him. She breaks from the kiss to lay one at his chest instead, lips soft against his skin, before she's looking down at him.
Something lingers in her eyes -- more than just enjoyment, more than just want. No doubt something far more risky than just one night spent together tangled in hotel sheets. Something more dangerous than a single drink. But by this point, Adrian has thrown all caution to the wind, ignoring common sense entirely, placing all bets on the table no matter the risk.
Evidently, something he's rather good at.
"How long are you in London?" He asks her, lifting his hand from her waist. He strokes back a piece of hair that falls free once more, and then traces the pad of his thumb over her cheekbone. "I want to see you again."

His hand drifts down her side and settles on her waist and she gets as close as she can especially when he pulls her tighter against him. It's impossible to feel like this so quickly but she was more than sure that there was something there and it could be a very big risk especially when she looked so much like Katherine but she wondered if he still saw that in her or if he saw the human that she was. The soft and warm woman that was completely different from a vampire from his past. A vampire that could easily rip her apart if the two women came face to face because if she was Katherine then she wouldn't want another woman wearing her face.
But she hoped that they wouldn't come face to face. Lexi wasn't sure she could look at the woman who had broken Adrian's heart and left him to deal with everything on his own.
He asked her how long she was staying and lifted his hand from her waist before moving back her hair and then using his thumb to move over her cheekbone. He then said that he wanted to see her again. Lexi's heart gave a loud thump at that and she smiled down at him once more. If she's honest she hadn't really put a return date to her mother just yet so she wasn't sure what day it would be that she left London and headed back to the States. She told him about no return date just yet and watched him. Her honey coloured eyes moving over his face.
Lexi put a kiss against his neck softly before she replied. "I want to see you again too" she said and then pulled her lips away from his neck to look down at him with another soft smile. In fact she wanted to hold onto him for as long as she was in London and right now that could be for a little while if he wanted her to stay that long. She thinks that she would probably go back whenever he got fed up of her but at the moment she didn't see that happening.

Adrian smiles a bit wider when he hears her heart thump loudly in her chest, just at his words alone. He thinks he could get used to that sound. Could get used to the rush of her pulse when he kisses her. Could get used to the flutter when he teases her. Could get used to the humanity of it. It's been so long since he's felt the sort of exhilaration that comes with getting a girl's heart racing, really racing. Not just picking someone up in a bar and taking them home for one quick toss in the hay before shutting the door behind them. This is different. This is no simple lay. And he may be a fool, but he knows that to be true.
He feels a little relief knowing that she hasn't planned when she's flying back to the States, allowing him the prospect of holding on to whatever this is for a few days longer, just long enough to indulge this reckless whim. That he can handle.
She kisses at his neck and replies, her words a rumble against his throat, wanting to see him again as well. She's smiling again she lifts herself back up to look down at him, that same look lingering in her eyes. "Maybe..." he begins, and traces his fingers down her side once more, feeling its softness beneath his fingertips. "Tomorrow night?" Adrian suggests, arching a brow. "Perhaps I'll buy you a drink this time." He offers, smile pulling crookedly at his lips,

Lexi liked him underneath her, he was pretty to look at. She ran her fingers lightly down his chest when he starts speaking and traces his own fingers down her side and a soft smile pulls at her lips as she pretends to think about it. Honestly the only person she knew here was Adrian well and Jace but he wasn't in London and she had promised to go up and see him before she left to go back to the States so with that date unknown she could put it off a little longer and say that she was really busy in London chasing down their family history while actually being in bed with Adrian.
She bit on her lip for a moment before running her finger lightly back up his chest and bringing her eyes to his once more. "Are you asking me out on a date?" she teased at him but if he was then she definitely would be up for going out to drinks with him. She then smiled once more before bringing her lips down towards his and brushing hers against his soft ones.
"I would love to go out for a drink with you" she said softly and then put her lips to his once more and kissed him this time before she slowly leaned herself against him and sink against his lips. If Lexi is honest she could happily stay here for the rest of the day but she knew in the end he would have to go but for now he was hers and she was going to make sure that they took full advantage of that for a little while. Her lips against his were soft as was the kiss and she closed her eyes up and held onto the kiss for as long as she could.
Lexi couldn't explain how happy she felt knowing that he wanted to see her again and that it would be for drinks the next night. Who knows maybe they could have it be a regular thing while she was here but for now she was definitely taking full advantage of his lips and his skin by hers.
