John walks Behrad to his door and just barely resists the urge to tuck the big idiot in before telling him sweetly good night and closing his door before murmuring a low incantation for no one else's ears; putting a protection seal over the room that flashes up gold for an instant before disappearing with the only proof it was ever cast. He turns quickly on his heel and almost runs directly into Zari who must be heading back to her room after leaving Nate. He smiles wide if lackadaisically, his high still pleasantly wearing off.
"Well, hello there, princess," he greets warmly, hooking her arm with his at the elbow in a way he means as charming. He clearly has no idea Zari could have seen what just happened. "I was heading to the galley for a cuppa. You'll join? It's because of these bloody clothes I'm freezing half to death." The implication being it's her fault because she dressed him, or something.

He nudges against her and Zari feels her resolve slip. The throbbing between her legs is too much to suffer through. She knows he knows that too. She's not built to hold out in this scenario. "You're such a bastard." Zari complains without ever meaning it. Okay maybe she means it a little. She does hate to lose. She supposes this is what she gets for underestimating John to begin with.
Zari squirms uselessly against his hold one last time before giving in as much as someone like her can... which is not at all really. "Fine, I want you to take me. Satisfied?" He really shouldn't be when she sounds so pissed off about it.

"With you?" he asks sweetly, though the Cheshire grin counteracts it anyway. "Always," an admission pressed against her lips before he gets serious again. His eyes spear through hers as he slowly, pointedly, lets go of her wrists, taking a moment just to memorize the way she looks - submissive just for him, John Constantine, what should be chaff below her heel.
His hands move to her hips to help facilitate what he's about to order her to do (again) - this time he knows with a much different result. And just that knowledge sends an electrical pulse straight through his core.
"Turn around, slow now- Don't move your hands, I've got you."

"I know you do, princess," he soothes, pressing a kiss against the side of her face as he guides their anatomy to link up without further ado. He's painstakingly careful, as always, relishing in how impatient she already is and knowing he'll have endless fun with that. Once he's confident he's properly lined up, his fingers gently delve between her folds, wanting to feel with his hands as well as his body the moment they come together. "Sit back now, all the way."
As she obeys, he can't help the gasp pushed out through his teeth as he feels her slick, hot body close around his length. Once she's seated flush against him, his wet fingers splay out over her tummy and his head ducks to drop worshipful little kisses against her throat.
"I'll tell you when you can move," he tells her, biting into the soft flesh of her shoulder as his other hand closes back around her arms as if locking her in. He's already throbbing inside her, hoping he can last when he gets off just as much (if not more) on the denial itself as the actual feeling of being inside her.

Zari smiles at the little kisses her presses against her throat as she adjusts to him inside her. It's not nearly enough even with how he throbs inside her. She nearly moves to push the matter when he locks her in. She whines as he bites into her shoulder. "John, please." Her hips buck in protest.

"Slower, slower..." He lets go only to wind his arms around her middle, losing steam for ordering her around now that she's admitted he's won, more or less. "You always rush past the best part."

"Don't tempt me," he warns her breathlessly, one hand traveling up her front to appreciatively map it out though he'd memorized the arrangement long ago. Once again, he's drawn to her chest, squeezing her breasts and teasing her nipples one at a time while rocking his hips in time with hers to really get her going. "I have some weird fantasies..." His palm keeps moving upward, wrapping around her throat on a downstroke as he remembers what that felt like. He barely applies any pressure, afraid to when he can't see her face, but just the suggestion is enough for another full-body jolt as he snaps his hips much harder than before.

"John." She finally moves one of her arms away from her back. Her hand closes around the one gripping her throat without adding any pressure just yet. "I want everything." Zari promises just as she adjusts his hold to just enough to be safe while chasing that high.

He keeps up the stutter of his hips, losing rhythm but remembering how she'd asked him not to stop and wanting to oblige. Even in this position, her pleasure is paramount to him. His fingers twitch against her throat, feeling her pulse in his palm and feeling powerful for being allowed that type of ultimate trust.
"Do you want to hear... what I might be into?" He breathes it heavily into her ear, still putting off actually telling her what it is. He'll chalk it up to distraction later, but as always it goes back to his fear of rejection, though she's never turned away from him once even when she absolutely should have.

The hand covering his drops once he takes the other behind her back. It's perfect bliss to lose herself into the motions of their coupling even if John is off-key. The sensation of being held so securely by him, being so helpless yet safe, will keep her going to the last second. Zari is eager to extend this feeling for as long as she can.
"I'm into you." Zari reminds him. She's open to wherever this takes them. Her pulse quickens at the question. "Tell me. Please."
no subject
"I miss that mirror... seeing your face when I have you like this," John reminds her, sure she's remembering the same thing which makes it all the sweeter even if he can't see her expression for him. The words and the unmistakable way she shares his desires are more than enough to compel him to tell her what else has been on his mind, for a while now. "Have you ever used a strap-on?" Just the question is more than suggestive enough, and he waits to see what she'll do with it before he elaborates further though she'll easily be able to feel the way his face gets hot where his cheek is still pressed to hers.
no subject
"Next time." Zari promises. She has no idea how she'll fulfill it. She knows she wants the image of his hand over her throat etched in too. The question does give her pause. Zari isn't against it, of course. The thought of John beneath her is always sweet, but being the one to penetrate him for a change, well, she loves it. Zari also knows she has no experience with it. Every man she's dated is basically the definition of toxic masculinity. They'd never be so vulnerable with her.
John is nothing like them. She can feel from the heat against her cheek how much he wants this. "I could start." As loathe as she is to admit she doesn't know about something, he does deserve to know considering he'd be the first she'd tried it with. "Would you like that, baby?" She asks sweetly. Her pulse speeds up tellingly; as if she needed more fuel to push her closer to the edge.
no subject
The long pause to his question is more than answer enough, and more or less what he expected knowing of the kind of douchebags she's been with, but it still excites him to know they can go down this road together. He nods stiltedly against her face so she can feel it, but then hisses out an affirmative answer in her ear when it doesn't feel like enough, followed by a sharp exhale of her name.
His hand from behind her back frees itself to find hers, holding for a moment before he directs it along her abdomen then down between her legs. "Every time I watch you like this... I'm jealous," he admits, ridiculously close just by putting himself in her exact position in his mind. Each time he pulls out enough to feel her hand on him, he hisses broken words and sounds into her ear, his hand leaving hers after a minute of that to seek out the little bundle of nerves between her folds, now exposed by their coupling. Two fingers gently press as he goes on, "Want to get on my knees for you, too."
The image is enough to send him, let alone everything else they currently have going on. Careful of her safety to the utmost even now, he helps her to tip her head backwards against his shoulder, exposing her throat even more. His thumb presses into her windpipe as he bows his head to curve his lips against the juncture of throat and clavicle. His hips work faster and more messily towards an end with one goal in mind, teasing her clitoris with one finger as he slowly makes peace with letting this scene go.
"Do you want to come? You need to ask permission." He expects that will get her going, smiling against her skin and kissing at her neck softly in firm contrast to everything else he's doing to her now. His finger gives a last stroke in farewell though he leaves her own hand between her legs to do with what she will, wanting to feel one more time as he presses her wrist against the swell of her back, somehow forcing Zari into an even more compromised position. "You've been so good for me... how many times would you like to? I don't think once is enough for my princess."

He is reduced her to soft whimpers, breathless moans, and broken words that resemble his name. All the sounds he makes in her ear as she barely manages to touch him are driving her insane. Zari needs John to finish this.
A part of her thinks he never will. He'll keep her trapped here, toying with her body in the cold water until she passes out from the over stimulation. Zari is distantly aware of how much she loves the idea; how desperately she wouldn't mind doing the same to John. He offers her an out. Maybe five minutes ago, she'd be stubborn about it. Zari can get herself off with the one free hand, she thinks.
Zari is too spent for that kind of of game. The position he has her in now just reinforces how securely John has her. Zari decides to finish the game his way. Her hand trails back up to rest over the one gripping her throat. Her thumb strokes back of his hand softly before the other hand strains against his hold one last time for the thrill of it.
Her lips work for a few seconds. It's struggle make the words he needs to hear after being worked over on so many fronts. "...Please, John. I need to... as many as you can." Her tone is breathless and desperate. Her grip on his hand tightens to drive home that point even as it ruins Zari further. "Please."
no subject
"In that case... I think we can beat our record. Two's a rather pathetic number, don't you think, baby?" His overly saccharin voice drips into her ear as he feels emboldened enough to tighten the hand around her throat, waiting until he hears her try to breathe before letting go. His hips stutter forward again, knowing which spots to hit to make her light up, his palm closing over her nose and mouth as he moves, confident this will make her fall of the rapidly approaching edge easily. "Count them out, sweetheart. I know that's number one..."
He waits patiently until she admits it before moving his hand so she can breathe, grinning against her face as he twists her arm that much more, making her feel a tiny bit of pain as she comes down off of her high. John knows all too intimately how intoxicating mixing the two can be, and her boundless trust makes him want to flirt with danger all the more.
Before Zari can come down entirely from her first orgasm, John's other hand trails back down her body, fingers pressing mercilessly against her through the sensitivity. He hums into her ear like it's the sweetest feeling for him, despite still holding out himself, rock-hard inside her. His hips snap in a rough rhythm along with his hand, forcing the second one over her while he just barely holds back from the edge himself. "You are so goddamn sexy," he whines into her ear, almost like it's a complaint.
no subject
Zari has to reach up to cover her mouth at the cry that escapes her lips as the second one hits her, shivering against the hard line of his body as the release surges through her again. She's not big on restraint normally, but even she knows the others would be unable to miss this. She doesn't move her hand away until she's sure she can control herself. "And you're merciless." She says it like a compliment, out of breath still. Zari leans into him like she doesn't have a single bone in her body. "I can't take it." She whines without ever telling him to stop. John is still hard inside her. She knows they're not done by a long shot.
no subject
"Turn back around, baby. You can take it and I want to watch you..." He manhandles her again, a little less gently this time as delicacy leaves him and his baser instincts take over. He draws in a sharp breath when she's straddling him front-ways again at last, one hand reaching up to cup her chin, locking his grip after a moment of caressing. "Take me back inside," he commands gruffly, eyes flashing as they catch on hers. "And ride us both home."
It's easily her favorite position, covering him; being in complete control, but he wants her to feel this from a different perspective. He wants her to feel powerless in a seat she usually rules him from, knowing the mixed signals will blow her mind for a round count of three.

She'll finish this, clean up a little, and collapse into a heap in her warm bed. It is not bad as far as plans goes up until that soft touch turns into something harsher. Brown eyes crash into his as the command comes. Her tummy does little flips at the audacity of it. This is always her show.
Once again Zari complies, using her hand to guide him back in after lifting her hips up, still slick from the previous rounds. Her eyes fall shut, gasp escaping as he fills her back up. One hand braces at his shoulder as she prepares to move against him, the other going to lower the one holding her chin in place. "Are you ready, baby?" Her eyes open back up to meet his.
no subject
"That's my line," he chastises her, lips ghosting across hers in a cruel smile as his hands settle possessively over her backside and his hips start to snap faster and harder. "Tell me when." He seals the reminder with a tugging bite against that full lower lip.
no subject
It doesn't take her long to get there, forgetting about being quiet as the only thing that seems to exist is the way their bodies slap together against the water and how it lights her up. Her nails dig into his skin as she finally breaks the silence to plead with him for one last release with her. "John, now. Please...." It comes out as little rasps. She's so far gone it's actually hard to form the words.
no subject
"Hold onto me," he orders into her ear, shifting so he can reach behind her to pull the drain plug. For how close he is to the edge, it almost compromises his control, but he manages to come back to her panting and still hard inside. "I'm gonna make you scream." It might wake the whole ship, but he doesn't care anymore. All he wants is to overload her with so much pleasure she can't see straight anymore.
One hand travels down her front covetously, his hot touch claiming every inch of skin as it passes to its final destination. John's fingers close around that small bundle of nerves at the same moment his hips begin to move again, catching just the right angle he knows will leave her powerless. As the water drains out of the tub around them, his legs close around her back, his public bone grinding hers as he tortures and pinches her clit.
"That's it, three for me, baby. Say my name." He hums against her lips as he leans in for an unsustainable kiss, trying to contain most of the noise with his mouth despite his threat from earlier. While she's still under the tide, his hips circle to one end, determined to wring a fourth and final orgasm from her though he knows how intense it will be for her. Just the thought of that sends him over with a relief-soaked chuckle as he sucks on her tongue, coming inside her hotly as both hands instantly release to pull at her nipples now. He can feel her sensitivity as her body convulses around him, milking him for every last drop. "Was that four? Oh, yeah, that's a much sexier number."
His hips work until he's sure they're both done and maybe a little beyond, enjoying the pain of his own sensitive member still buried inside her, fully empty.
"Next time, maybe we'll both get there," he murmurs against her before nuzzling into her throat, both arms winding around her until they both can catch their breaths enough to move.
