The Quinn Aesthetic

Chapter 18: Silent Persuasion

Harley does not place much food on her plate since she knows she will not be eating very much at this point. All she can think about is the woman beside her as she watches Ivy eat the food on her own plate out of the corner of her eye. She cannot seem to help the sense of curiosity that has overwhelmed her thoughts at this point. She has never truly been with a woman before that she can recall and it is an exciting experience for her as she wonders what Ivy is thinking about this situation.

She can feel Ivy's hand rubbing along her thigh and it makes her shiver with pleasure as she scoots closer to Ivy where she sits on the sofa. She has forgotten all about the film playing in the background at this point as her thoughts are focused on the woman beside her by this point in time. She wonders if she should make the first move or if Ivy would make that decision for her. She bites her lower lip almost seductively without thinking much about it as she notices her chest beginning to heave.

She wants to claim this woman as her own in every way, especially as a true partner in crime. She wants Ivy all to herself since she knows that Ivy is much more persuadable to become her significant other instead of going back to men. She has not heard the story behind that fact but she does not have to be told by Ivy to be able to gleam this information from the other young woman. She smiles bitterly at the thought of her own sick twisted experiences with the Joker in years' past as she comes to the realization that she could live a life without a man to love.

She has Ivy to love now and it is obvious that Ivy feels the same way about her. Could they make a life together or is that out of the realm of possibility for either one of their futures? Harley is not usually the type of person to hope for something but she cannot seem to help hoping that she can have a future next to this young woman beside her now. She bites harder on her lower lip as she smiles to herself at the thought of spending a life with Ivy by her side. She would have to persuade Ivy that this is the route to follow rather than letting Harley leave her apartment sometime soon. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

Ivy can see that Harley is not interested in her food and realizes that she wants something else. She leans in and places her forehead against Harley's for a moment and she is still confused at the feelings that she has for this woman and she closed her eyes. She placed her other hand against Harley's cheek and sighed happily. She had not ever been with a woman and this was a new experience for her. Though, she was more than happy and willing to love on Harley. She sensed that they both needed this in a way. The man in her life had literally tore her apart.

He tried to kill her with her own work and chemicals even. But she was free of him now. Though she still wanted revenge and now she knew that Harley would be more than happy to exact such a thing on her ex. She tilted her head and then press her lips to Harley's once more. The sensation that went through her body make her almost shudder with utter excitement, physically and mentally. She definitely want to see where this would go. She didn't want Harley to leave and she would be offering her full residence in the apartment. She was glad that she owned it in a sense. In New York they were expensive. She had obtained it while she worked for Wayne Enterprises.

Smoothing the blonde's hair out of her eyes, she deepened the kiss. Her heart began to beat rapidly and she smiled to herself. Harley was able to to bring that emotion out in her and that was unusual. No one had ever done that. Not even Bruce Wayne himself. Too bad she had given Bruce that second kiss. He wouldn't be alive today. But She and Harley would take care of that fruit bat as well. She had so many plans to carry out with Harley and then they could come home and well....it was kind of a turn on for her. Today had been a turn on. She knew that she herself was crazy. But she liked it that way.

She reluctantly pulled back and then stood, taking Harley by the hand she led her back to the bedroom. The food could stay wehre it was until morning. she didn't have pets, so it would not be devoured or end up on the floor. Right now she wanted something else. She was sure that Harley knew this as well once they were in the bedroom she turned to look at her, bouncing on the balls of her feet again, not even sure why she was doing it. Was it a trait that she had picked up from the harlequin?
