[LB definitely smells his arousal around the same time she was dealing with it. And though she considers doing something about it, the only thing that stops her from trying to pull him closer to her was the worry that she'd get embarrassed if he rejected her advances yet again. So, it's a small relief to flip to her stomach, so he could rub down her back, which was more relaxing than anything else.
Yet, once he finishes, she's all too happy to sit back up, stretching her arms out a little as she reaches for the bottle of sun lotion.]
Mmm, thank you. It's your turn now, though!
[While he's still standing up, she'll start with threading his fringe back with the fingers of one of her hands, while the other rubs his forehead down. With that out of the way, she gently grasps both sides of his face as she then puts some lotion on his nose, cheeks, around his ears, and then onto his jawline. Once that much is finished, she smiles fondly, still keeping her hands placed on his jawline while speaking to him again.]
[Thankfully it seems like they both managed to calm down in the brief respite... but damn, he needs to get a grip. They were all alone at the other end of the beach, so why did he decide it would be a good idea to get all hands-on with each other only after coming back to this busy area?! Well, they're halfway through with it now, and once they'll both lie down and hold hands it'll be a stress-free pleasant experience, he's sure. If he knew that LB fears his rejection he'd feel guilty. The last thing he wants is for her to feel pushed away, but he really keeps putting her in that position...]
Hm-m.
[He keeps his eyes closed while she works on his face, only opening them once she's done. She's so gentle with him all the time, he really enjoys it. He briefly puts his hands on hers, but doesn't know what to say, so he just nods and lies down on his back. Of course he'll help her by lifting his arms and whatnot, but for the most part he wants to try and just focus on her touch.]
[Once he's settled in his position, LB gathers more lotion so that she can start rubbing it onto his neck, intently paying attention to his expression to try to gauge which spots were the most sensitive for him, only occasionally glancing down to make sure she was covering him enough. She pauses a moment, to feel his pulse under her thumbs, before covering the rest of throat and moving to contour around the crooks of his neck to eventually move onto his shoulders. She'll trace his collarbones while rubbing down his shoulders until she gets to the first arm. Massaging down his biceps and joints, she even rubs her thumb between each of his fingers. Once finished with his first arm, she repeats the same treatment to the other one.]
Your muscles are so nice. I can only imagine how much you worked to maintain a body like this, heheh!
[Finishing up the other arm, she shifts her position to straddle over his legs, settling herself a little above his knees as she starts on his pectoral muscles and gradually works down his abdomen.]
[LB is much more attentive than Hijikata was. He was mainly just careful to not close his hands around her neck, however briefly, and to not touch her breasts by accident. Feeling her fingers and palms run over his skin is so pleasant, he can't keep his eyes open. There's a slight smile on his face that broadens at her remark.]
It didn't even feel like work. When you train and fight for something that's important to you it just happens naturally.
[While there isn't a big height difference between them his build is a lot broader than hers. He lets out a small hum as she spreads the sunscreen on his chest and solidly muscled abdomen; he likes her hands there, especially with her sitting over him like this... ugh, damn it; he needs to think of something awful fast so he doesn't end up getting a boner on her. He wouldn't be able to live that down! Why is the Sanguis lust kicking in now of all inopportune times, seriously?!]
I think there's a lot of men out there that wish they could have a body like yours naturally, heehee!
[She smiles as her hands linger on putting the lotion on his upper chest, her thumbs slowly tracing the lines of his muscles.]
But then I suppose most don't work as hard as you do.
[She notices the little noise he makes as she continues to lavish his chest with the lotion. Ah, so this is what he likes? That only further encourages LB to take her time with this particular part of his body as she glances down to admire the lines of his abs. Once she's finally done covering that part, she shifts her position slightly to go back up to hit the area of his sides that she missed before just barely letting her thumbs brush past the band of his boxers.]
[He makes another little hum as she runs her hands up his sides, and when she briefly slips under his boxers' band his face immediately heats up. He actually paused to think about doing that when it was his turn to lotion her up - the side straps of those panties can shift around, can't say? -, but he decided to play it safe. Still, he's learning more about his own body here that he ever did back home... but that's just what happens when one lives for work. He tries to shoo any inappropriate thoughts away and pulls his knees up so she has an easier time with his legs.]
You're in great shape too, you know.
[He doesn't know how to respond to all the flattery, so he'll just return it.]
[She notes his reactions, a little glad that she was making him feel good, but doesn't push it. LB didn't want him to shy away from this, so she was merely just skirting the edge of going too far with it. Moving off his legs, she starts off with his foot - rubbing the lotion all across it before slowly moving up his calf, around the knee, and then all around his thigh. Again, she goes just a little past the hem line of his boxers before repeating the same treatment on the other leg.]
You think so? [Even if he is just repeating the flattery, it makes her smile.] I do what I can to keep my figure, but I'm glad you enjoy it.
[Around that time, she finishes up on his second leg, letting her hands linger on his thigh a little before moving off to the side.]
[He manages to not get any more excited once she moves away from his torso, but he's nonetheless a little relieved when he can turn on his stomach. He closes his eyes again right away. It just feels so nice to be able to relax and enjoy what amounts to a surface-level massage without having to worry about her being an anti-government rebel who'll stick a dagger in him.]
We should come here more often during the Sanguis season.
[He means both the actual warm, humid season in general and the Sanguis moon cycles in particular.]
[It's almost a shame that there was no more reason to linger on his chest, but as he turns around, she straddles a little below his ass so that she's able to properly rub the sunscreen on his back. She takes her time to massage around his shoulder blades and traces her thumbs down his spine, then eventually edges a little past his boxers again before she backs away to survey her work.]
I, uh, I guess that's it.
[She heaves a sigh while climbing off of him, eventually propping an elbow in the sand, so that she could lie on her side to face him.]
I think I'd like to do this again, sometime, though. Maybe next time we'll actually wear proper swim suits?
[He also turns to lie on his side, smiling at her. Being so casually intimate with someone feels both strange and completely natural. He reaches out for her hand. If they're going to be so close they may as well moonlace a little.]
[This all still felt like something out of a dream for her, but yet she couldn't find it within herself to turn away from it. But doing all of this certainly made her feel a lot better than she normally would, in her Sanguis cycle. So, as he reaches out for her, LB gently grasps his hand with her own.]
Yeah... ahaha. Thanks for spending so much time with me today. I really do appreciate it.
