Don't Let Go

Closer

CORDELIA POV

Elliot and I left the control room and headed upstairs to change before going to the turret.  He checked my room and confirmed everything was clear then turned to me almost shyly.  "Are you really okay with this, Cookie?"

I gave him a confident smile and nodded, "I mean, if things had evolved this last week I would not have minded one bit."

Elliot looked at me more closely and I noticed the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes.

"Cordy, you're not an object or anything like that to me.  I don't want you to feel like bait."

"I don't.  Do you feel that way?"

He gave me a soft smile while shaking his head.  "Should we... uhh... I mean, should we practice?"

I met his eyes and tilted my head, leaning back to sit against my bed. 

Elliot approached me slowly as my breath hitched, finally whispering, "I trust you, Cordy.  You have my consent.  We can just see how it goes but... I don't know about you but I've been holding myself back for over a week now."

"What a coincidence.  I've been doing the same thing," I admitted as he caged me between his arms while I leaned back, his face moving to my neck where he kissed up to my ear.  A moan escaped and I continued with a breathy gasp, "You have my consent, too."

Elliot moved to look into my eyes and kissed me softly, allowing us to finally revel in the contact we both wanted this entire time.  I slipped one hand to his back while the other grasped the front of his shirt as he leaned down further until I was laying on the bed.  My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist which brought a low growl of a moan rumbling through his chest.

After a long moment he pulled back, both our hearts racing at how powerful the connection was.  "Best first kiss I've ever had."

I smirked nut felt like no thoughts were left in my brain, "Yeah.  Uhh... same here.  Uh, so, why don't we change then I'll meet you upstairs?"

"See you there," he replied with a smile as released my legs, kissing me against sweetly before adjusting himself then leaving my room.

Shit.

I stared at my ceiling for a minute, knowing full well this is what I've been wanting.  After catching my breath, I dug out a backless silk nightgown that had built in support so I could wear only that.  It was comfortable and sexy, though I put my warm fleece robe on over top,

Once I used the bathroom and tied my hair up into a messy bun, I smiled at myself in the mirror then made my way up the spiral staircase to my turret.

Elliot and I didn't discuss boundaries but I was not comfortable doing more than a heavy make out session when we knew Lewis was watching.  He could take photos and sell them so any kind of sex act or nudity would be a bad idea.

Once I got to my turret I dimmed the lights then got the projector set up for our tv show watching. My phone was vibrating on the table but I ignored it, pulling a couple throw blankets from a storage ottoman to make the space even more cozy.  I grabbed a bottle of mead from the fridge and opened it then picked out 2 stemless wine glasses we could use.

The ambiance was set. Now to see how Lewis reacts to the show.

"Hey!" Elliot called as he joined me. "Whoa, it's so cozy with this lighting and the extra blankets."

"Yeah, this place can be perfect for that. I could light candles but that's a bit much," I replied with a grin, bringing our drink and cups to the main area.
