In These Arms

Chapter 17

"We're gonna try and answer questions tonight rather than just do shout-outs," Lucy said, "So send us your best ones."

"Ian, what can Lucy do better than you?" Ian read out.

"Everything," Lucy replied quickly turning to Ian and smiling.

"Yes," Ian replied shaking his head, "Lucy is better at everything."

"Good," Lucy said laughing, "I'm glad we cleared that one up. Although I will admit that Ian is definitely a better cook."

Ian laughed, "Lucy bakes though. I'm a better driver."

"Hey," Lucy replied tapping him gently on the arm, "okay so maybe you are. You can have that one."

"Lucy definitely sings and dances better than me."

"You know what," Lucy said, "My dressing is right next door to Ian's and I've heard him sing many times and he's actually pretty good."

Ian shook his head again.

"Lucy did you hear the story about Ian dressing up as Spiderman?" Lucy read out. "Yes. I did, and I didn't hear from this guy either, Ian is very probably the most modest person I have ever met. His sister Sarah was visiting the set one day and for some reason we were talking about Super Heroes and Sarah told us the story despite you protesting," she finished turning to Ian.

"Yeah," Ian replied obviously embarrassed.

"He's embarrassed that people know about it, so modest. I'm actually really happy that everybody knows what an amazing selfless guy he is."

Lucy leaned in closer to Ian and smiled.

"So," Ian said changing the subject, "What do you do after work to unwind?"

"Ian cooks," Lucy replied laughing, "I swear you'll like call him up and ask him what he's up to and he's 'Oh I'm just boiling lentils,' or 'Oh I'm just chopping some kale."

Ian shook his head and smiled, "I'm not that bad."

Lucy nodded her head and mouthed 'Yes he is.'

"Lucy watches trash TV," Ian continued, "Her TiVO is filled with reality TV programmes and she listens to Country music LOUDLY."

"It's true," Lucy replied nodding, "I'm not embarrassed."

"Say Lucian," Ian read out loud, causing Lucy to laugh. "I think I just did," he said smiling.

"I think you just made half of our viewers pass out," Lucy replied.

"Do you do anything to prepare before emotional scenes?" Ian read out. "Not really," he replied, "we just treat it like any other scene."

"Yeah," Lucy replied, "we just goof around beforehand."

"What is it like to film kissing or sex scenes?" Ian said, "Awkward."

"Yes," Lucy nodded in agreement, "you have like 15 guys standing around watching you."

"Telling you where to put your hands and which way to tilt your head. Not romantic at all."

"Oooo," Lucy said spotting a new question, "Musical episode. I would love it, and Ash, Tammin and Janel would be ecstatic too. It would have to be original songs though like in the Buffy Musical."

Ian was just shaking his head from side to side. "You wouldn't have to sing," Lucy said looking towards him. "Although I know you would be amazing."

"Have you met each other's parents?" Ian said.

"Yes," Lucy replied as Ian nodded next to her.

"They visit the set when they come to town," Ian said.

Ian was asked to do his Voldemort and Gandalf impressions which he did brilliantly. They talked about how they were trying to persuade the producers that everyone guys included should go on promotional tours. It was now well over an hour into the stream.

"Did you see that one?" Lucy asked pointing to a comment on the screen.

Ian leaned closer to it, "We have Nian, Jelena and Monchele. How about Lucian?" he read out. He glanced briefly towards Lucy and smiled, and then he looked back at the screen, "Yeah, I guess a lot of co-stars end up dating so who knows?" he said looking back towards Lucy.

"Yeah," Lucy replied as she linked her fingers with his under the table, "who knows what the future holds."

"Oh," Ian said, "looks like we're going to have to go the crew has just showed up which means we're about to shoot."

"Sorry guys," Lucy said, "we promise we'll do another one soon though. Thanks for all your questions."

"Yeah. Thanks guys."

Lucy ended the broadcast, and switched off her computer before leaning over and pressing her lips to Ian's. "It's been so hard sitting next to you for all that time and not being able to do that," she said once they pulled apart.

"I know," Ian replied, "I almost forgot we were filming a few times and I almost kissed you."

"I can't believe you said 'Who knows' when somebody mentioned about co-stars dating."

"You said it too," Ian replied, "and I figured it was better than lying. We're not confirming that we're dating but we're not outright denying it either."

Lucy smiled, "So in a couple of months when we do go public..."

"Exactly," Ian said leaning closer to her, "nobody can say we lied." He lifted a hand up to her cheek and kissed her again.

(M)

"I thought you were really tired?" Lucy said later that night as Ian pulled her towards him and started placing open mouthed kisses on her neck.

"I am," he mumbled only removing his lips from her neck for a few seconds. He licked and sucked on a particularly sensitive spot causing Lucy to moan and press her body closer to his.

Ian moved his hands lower until they slipped under the hem on the t-shirt she was wearing his fingertips tracing the edge of her underwear. Lucy shifted her body so she was now straddling him. "I thought you were tired." Ian whispered into her ear. Lucy smiled languidly at him and ground her hips against his, "I am." He wrapped his fingers around the hem of the t-shirt and pulled it up and over her head, tossing it aside carelessly. Lucy leaned down to kiss him, pressing her now bare breasts against his chest, before raising herself up her knees and hooking her fingers in the waistband of his boxers pulling them down his legs. He flipped them over so he was now on top and he kissed her deeply, his hands skimmed over her body until they reached her underwear and he slowly pulled them off her. He moved back up her body, placing his fingers under one of her knees as he did so and pulling her leg over his shoulder. He moved his fingers down to her core gently stroking up and down her entrance before he pushes two fingers deep inside her his thumb exerting just the right amount of pressure on her engorged clit. Lucy placed her hands on the back of his head and pulled him down for a kiss, their tongues duelling for dominance as his fingers pumped in and out of her with increasing speed. Ian felt her inner walls clenching around his fingers and knew her orgasm was approaching, so he removed them and buried his now fully erect cock inside her. He kept completely still as she spasmed around him, pulling away from their kiss to watch her as she came. She was still riding out her first orgasm when he began to pump in and out of her, slowly at first but quickly their hips began slamming together with an increasing urgency. Ian could feel his own orgasm coming, so he grabbed Lucy's other leg and put that over his other shoulder, the shift in position sent her spiralling over the edge once again and the feeling of her inner walls clenching around him was enough to bring on Ian's orgasm. She moved her legs from his shoulders and Ian lay down next to her, pulling her body flush against his as he did so. She rested her head on his chest placing a quick kiss on the damp skin. He kissed her head and pulled the covers up over them before wrapping his arms around her. Soon they both succumbed to sleep their exhaustion finally taking over.
