( as much as she, jokingly, sounds scandalised river can't deny that she'd considered the idea. but it wasn't the plan. not the immediate plan -- if it ended up happening who was she to stop it? )
I'm showing you something you'll never get to see again. A little adventure.
I'd like to return to Peru again, but some things are worth it.
[ He's completely teasing. He has nothing against sex in strange places, but he's not leaping at the opportunity to do so surrounded by the ghosts of millennia. ]
You always take me to the best places. [ He smiles, more genuine, less teasing, excitement lighting up his eyes. ]
( who knows, maybe she'll have shown him better than this in the past. tombs weren't for everyone -- she was an archaeologist, she loved them, but they certainly weren't everyone's idea of a date.
as they descend river lifts a wooden torch from a holder, using it to light their path as she leads them deeper inside the ruin.
eventually, after a few winding corridors, they'll come to a room that opens out, a wide round hall )
I've always wanted to come here.
( though, perhaps, here as it used to be -- to see a concert in this very hall )
[ It doesn't rightly matter at this moment whether or not their going down to catacombs on a date. River's close to him and she's sharing a secret, something he'll probably never be able to see in his life. (He has high hopes for his life, but to survive for 18 more centuries? That's ambitious even for Magnus.)
He'll take the creepiness of tombs for the benefits that come along with them. ]
Wait, you've never--
[ The question is cut short as he comes into the hall as well. His eyes widen as he steps further in and turns on his heel to take it all in. ]
I was hired once to lead an expedition into part of the tomb.
( she lowers her voice as if to not disturb something even though no one was here, but the sheer thing of being in this hall still has river giving respect to it. a lot has been worn away but there are still features that hint at how beautiful this room could have been -- at how spectacular it would have been with a crowd and orchestra )
[ He takes a long, quiet moment to appreciate it, too. To let his mind wander to the same places that River's is. The way it must have looked long ago, how glorious and resplendent. The people gathered together, the walls echoing with music. ]
Are we going to now? [ he asks with a cheeky grin. ]
[ Magnus can't help but be a touch disappointed and responds to her with a small and playful pout. But the kisses are more than enough to make up for that disappointment, so he grins again, ready and eager. ]
( lead the way she does. this hall is a little further away, taking them longer to get to through a series of winding corridors. it's worth the walk in the end when they find it.
though the second hall is much smaller than the first, perhaps for small groups or more intimate gatherings, it's as well preserved as the first, stone seating around the stage, statues carved into the walls.
river is awed, keeping him pulled close to her as she examines the room, hand running over the architecture.
but, as beautiful as this room is theyre about to become more intimately familiar with it. though the room is preserved the ceiling isn't as well looked after, with a few of the stones starting to fall onto the stage, causing a small cascade towards the door. though they'd moved away from it river still pulls him towards her just to make sure, falling against the wall. she spares a glance once they're down which tells her one thing -- their exit is blocked )
[ Their surroundings enrapture him, too, and it's with wide eyes and a slightly parted mouth that he follows River through the corridor into the smaller hall. His hand is tight in hers and he moves quickly to keep up with her at every tug, marveling over the same architecture as she does.
When he hears the first crumbling of rock, by reflex he does what's he thinks is necessary. Magnus pulls her close against him, just as she pulls him, hugging her to his chest while he sends up a shield to surround them, protect them from any falling debris. It's only when the rumbling has stopped that he tentatively releases her. The shield is only a shimmer, allowing them to see through it, though he doesn't drop it yet. ]
Darling, you know if you wanted to be alone with me, you only need ask, [ he says, his breathlessness betraying his blase attitude. ]
( river doesn't move back straight away, peering over her shoulder, through the shield at the mess around them. there's a short laugh at his statement but, as he is, she's a little breathless, hearts beating quicker with the panic.
she isn't afraid, not of the situation necessarily, but it's certainly taken her by surprise. she'll be able to come up with an escape, that's what she does, she's certain of it )
This wasn't how I'd planned on doing it.
( what a date this was turning out to be. with the rocks having stopped moving river takes a step back, leaving a hand resting on his chest as she surveys the room )
[ Usually, Magnus wouldn't mind this at all. Usually, it would be a simple matter of making a portal to connect them back to Magnus' apartment, the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, anywhere they liked. But this is a different planet, a different time. Magnus has no idea what's outside of this chamber, not really, and therefore no way of knowing where he would be sending them.
He lets the shield drop and tentatively starts to step over debris towards the former entrance. ]
I suppose I could magic away the rocks. But that might take a while.
( she stepped away for a moment, surveying the room, trying to put awsy her frustrations at the fact that this date wasn't exactly going to plan.
not that many ever did but she'd wanted to show magnus something wonderful, give him a different kind of thrill and then-- he may have been absolutely right when he'd joked about fucking in the catacombs. that was never far from her mind with him.
when river turns back to him she's smiling, reaching to rest her hands on his hips as she approaches from behind )
I could think of a few things to do in that time.
( and maybe after her vortex manipulator might be able to get them out. never could be certain with this kind of time travel and older places )
[ He honestly starts slightly, at the same time as the touch but more for her words than anything physical. Trust River -- Hell, trust both of them to think of other activities at a time like this. Perhaps it's because they're both immortal, basically, and have a hard time believing in their own death. Refuse to believe that it will come so soon as now.
(Or, in the case of River, perhaps she's seen her own death. Who knows? Magnus doesn't.)
Whatever the cause, there's a thrill here, a spike of adrenaline that they can both appreciate in ways most might not.
( she goes straight for it, knowing that he's amenable. it wouldn't be the first time that they'd fucked before the end of the date.
she kisses his shoulder, pressing herself closer as ber hands slide across his body. one comes to rest on his stomach whilst the other just reaches to his groin, cupping him with a light squeeze )
What did you want to do to me before?
( because he always has ideas. now it was his turn to put her at his mercy )
[ He gives an equally light, but low, groan at the contact. River has a way about her. Exciting and spicy and adventurous. He might not know exactly where he stands with her in the grander scheme of things, but he knows for certain where they stand in each second. And that's also an aphrodisiac for him: to find someone on the same page.
His hand covers her and he spins around as he tugs her close. His fingers are wrapped around her wrist and his free hand moves to grab her hip. He smiles down at her. ]
I should pay you back for what you did to me earlier. That was mean, my darling.
( though river has no allusions about what she'd done. her plan had been to tease him, to make it almost torturous. she's smiling at the contact, her mind racing with ideas )
I don't remember you complaining. ( pleading wasn't really complaining. and river is very interested in seeing what he has planned.
whilst he may have one hand occupied river is quick to tease with her other, running her fingers over his waist, trailing lower but, as she'd done earlier, purposefully avoiding his cock )
[ He smirks as he says it, practically laughing at the words. He is, in fact, very obedient, but he is far, far from a good boy. ]
But if I had my way...
[ He grabs at her other hand and pushes her back until they hit the crumbled heap of a wall. It's not exactly smooth to the touch, but it's not going to hurt her either. ]
( the contact surprises her but in a way that river loves. it's very rare for her to relinquish control, even to someone that she trusts such as magnus. it's on these rare occasions, the times where she almost wants someone to pull her apart, that she's thrilled, desire reflected in her expression )
You'll have to work for it.
( it's not going to be fun for either of them if river just lets him have it so easily. a challenge is always more satisfying. the wrist he'd first captured wriggles in his grasp, trying to move, to grab back at him )
[ Never let it be said that Magnus Bane is above cheating. Because he definitely is not. Perhaps it's because in his mind, using his magic isn't exactly cheating. He makes no secret of it. So really River shouldn't be surprised when Magnus uses his superior strength to push her wrist above her head, then squeezes. A flash of yellow mist and her hand is pinned quite securely to the space above her head. ]
( there's an almost gasp, her smile wise, river testing the bond that her hand has now found itself in )
If you wanted handcuffs all you had to do was ask.
( because let it be known that river always carries handcuffs with her even if it doesn't seem like she could fit them anywhere on her person.
she's undeterred, trying to reach him, to put him off even a fraction with any part of her that she can. her hands might be out of action but their bodies are still pressed close. she straightens a little, shifting her leg. it brushes against his thigh as she moves, before coming to rest pressing against his cock )
[ He lets slip a little groan as he feels the pressure of her leg against him. He rolls his hips, the delicious friction of their bodies together inspiring his cock to fill.
Magnus grabs at her other hand. River's strong, make no mistake, but Magnus is too and has magic on his side. He doesn't fasten it to the wall as he did before, but holds onto it, pushes it to the side so she can still try to fight.
He leans in and seals his mouth over hers, hungry and demanding. ]
( she lets the fight drop momentarily, leaning into the kiss, sliding her tongue against his. she's greedy, more so with knowing that he was going to take his time with what he had planned which only made her crave his touch more.
she continues to rub at his cock with her leg, encouraging him, trying to feel him, even hurry him along.
if river played nice she'd wait, let his plan unfold but she isn't a good girl. she pulls her tongue back, nipping at his lip with her teeth. she knows that whatever's coming is going to be good but good isn't always enough )
[ He groans loudly into the kiss, the taste of her combined with her body pressing against his practically too much to deal with at the moment. His cock begins to fill under her ministrations, hardening against her. His hips roll as he ruts against her, wanting more.
Yes, he has plans. Had plans. But she's so tempting, so intoxicating that Magnus is tempted to throw out those plans for something equally fun and enjoyable, if different. ]
Angel, but you're a bad girl, aren't you? [ His hands skim up her sides until they find her breasts, cupping them through the fabric of her shirt and bra, massaging them. ]
I should punish you. I shouldn't give you what you want.
( river laughs, both at his comment and his reaction to her, stilling the motion of her leg but pressing it into him )
You could.
( and stars she would love it, would love his sweet, torturous ministrations though equally she knows that distracting him, getting something for the both of them would be equally pleasurable )
But then you wouldn't get what you want.
( not quite as quickly anyway. her pitch dips lower as his hands work, a low moan, river leaning herself further into his touch, wanting more of his touch, his teasing )
