...He made a list of potential one night stands for A, really early on here, when he had a fight with Joker. He's threatened to make one for me before, so I was refusing to tell him who I was interested in. But he did it anyway.
[She is suddenly much more conscious of her nakedness than she was previously, and she adjusts the sheets around herself. She doesn't actually pull them up to her chest, though.]
It's got to be at least a few hours, or it wouldn't be worth it. If they're only taking five or ten minutes they could get it done somewhere else in the time it takes to check in.
And "one night stand" implies at least most of the night, I'd think.
[hesitant? but also, he doesn't stop, because, well, she clearly wants something, even if she's on the fence about what it is. honestly, the hesitancy lets him push ahead, just like he said.
leaning forward easily, planting both of his hands on either side of her.]
As soon as his arms box her in, she moves, grabbing one of his wrists and yanking it further forward, out from underneath him, as she shoves his opposite shoulder to try to twist them and pin him back to the bed.]
[She pins both his wrists, her hair falling down around them. Her grip is pretty strong. Perhaps even unnaturally so, since it's her dream.]
No? I told you, it's an experiment.
[a pause]
To be totally clear, since I am naked on top of you and everything... There's no way I want something serious with you, but I might not even want to have sex with you. I'm usually not into people I don't know well.
But it's not like I've actually... tried it. And I'm... well, I'm willing to see. But if me deciding it's not working for me at any point is going to be a problem, we can stop now.
Maybe we have different philosophies on this. I don't want something serious. At all. [there's a part of his mind very much aware of the conflict between her and Silk, dulled a bit because of the dream.]
And I don't mind this [a slight head motion to indicate her on top of him] but you really think I'm the right guy to have that kind of experiment with?

[but, hey, at least there's no real distance between the two of them now.]
no subject
I'm not usually a one night stand sort of person, but...
[Said as if this is somehow a continuation of a previous conversation.]
no subject
Did someone bring me up when it comes to one night stands?
[but hey, he sits next to her on the bed. he doesn't seem entirely offended by the concept.]

But I do like C.
Just a little surprised that he pinged me down as a one night stand kind of guy.
Or is that what you said?

Well, it is the sort of thing you're supposed to do in a love hotel, I guess.

[he glances over her once more, eyes lingering for a moment over her curves, and then leans a little closer.]
Besides, it's basically set up that way, isn't it?
no subject
Set up what way, exactly?
no subject
That takes out most of the work.
Or some of it, if that's not your flavor of things.
no subject
Is taking clothes off usually most of the work for you?
no subject
It's a love hotel, how long do you think people typically stay?

And "one night stand" implies at least most of the night, I'd think.

[she has to think about that a few seconds, looking him over again]
I don't know if I want anything with you. But I'm willing to experiment.
If I do want something, don't think you can get away with doing it halfway.
no subject
I don't tend to do things halfway, for better or worse. And it could be fun, a good way to see who's keeping up with who.
[he's going to lean in closer-- last chance to change her mind]
no subject
Despite that, the kiss itself is slightly hesitant.]

You sure about this?
[he has to double check, since that broke the kiss between them. And he has no intention of giving up that easily, if that's what she wants.]
no subject
No? I told you, it's an experiment.

but also, he's not really sure it's his place right then, right there, to pry.]
Just checking.
[he gives his arm an experimental flex, this time, more firmly. exactly how much force does he need to make this interesting]
