"So, is this where I kiss you good night and you head home? I've never really dropped a date off on my own driveway." Calum asks as he helps Shi out of the car, back from their dinner date out.

"I don't know." She bites her lip slightly, glancing out of the still open garage. "It's pretty dark, and I really don't like driving in the dark."

"You're more than welcome to stay with me tonight." He takes her bait easily, securing an arm around her lower back and pulling her closer.

"I've already stolen a hoodie, can I really in good conscience steal more clothes from you and stay? Because I can't sleep in this dress." Her eyes have become doe-like and playful as her fingers find the top button of his shirt.

"You most certainly can, and you will." He chuckles darkly, surprising even himself with how deep his voice had become so quickly.

"Is that an order?" She smirks, shifting her weight until she's pressed more against him, her hip brushing against his.

"Definitely." His voice is all but lost as he cups her jaw again, kissing her harshly as he presses her into the side of the car, cursing slightly at the fact that it's too low to truly hold them up comfortably. "Come on." He sighs, taking her by the hand and pulling her into the house, closing the garage behind them as they go.

"Cal..." her voice trails off as he pulls her into his room, spinning to face her again, his hands landing on her waist, palms on fabric and fingertips pressed into her warm skin.

"Yes, baby." He can see the immediate effect of the pet name on her, her eyes dilating noticeably as she blushes.

"I don't remember." She whispers, stepping half a step closer to him.

"You're okay with this right?" He asks again, just to be sure that wasn't what she was going to say.

"I want this, I want you." She nods, her eyes staying locked with his.

"Good, because this bow has been begging me to untie it all night." He chuckles, one hand ghosting up her back to tug teasingly at one tail of the bow on her dress.

Spinning carefully away from him, Shi lifts her hair up and over her shoulder, exposing her back to him fully, offering without words for him to untie it. Stepping closer to her Calum brushes his nose along her shoulder, kissing the base of her neck as his fingers tug at the bow, letting it fall open against her back, his fingers gently brushing against the tattoo on her spine, seeing it full finally, lilies and butterflies following the curve through the middle of her back.

"Beautiful." He whispers, tracing one of the flowers that stems up her back as she shimmies the straps of the dress off her shoulders. His lips return to her shoulder as his hands slide around her waist, reveling in how soft her skin feels against his calloused fingers, slowly bringing his hands up to engulf her now exposed chest, each hand filled with a breast as he moans into her neck, squeezing softly as he feels her nipples pucker again his palms.

"Calum." His name comes off her lips in a needy whine, her back arching against him as he explores her chest with his fingers, learning it by touch before sight. She gasps audibly as he bites slightly into her neck, sucking gently at her skin as he twists her right nipple. His own gasp falls as she pushes her hips back into him, her ass grinding against his crotch.

She takes the distraction as an opportunity to turn in his arms, meeting his eyes for only a moment before their lips crash together. Her fingers are sloppily undoing the buttons of his shirt as his thumbs slip into the skirt of the dress still hanging around her hips, pushing it carefully over her ass and letting it fall to the floor in a pile. He can tell she's stepped out of her heels as she pushes him backwards towards the bed, his head tilting down slightly further to continue their needy make out. His own hands help to pull the shirt off his body as she finally gets the last button undone.
