it's only a half an hour until their reservation ------------ just her latest update within the last hour or so, delivered in a sing - song tone as she goes back to focusing on getting herself dressed. a normal dinner for a normal couple; at least that's the image they're supposed to portray tonight. the man they're tailing will be there, as will a good dozen or so of his friends, and all they need to do is behave long enough to engage him in some small talk so they can get what they came for and leave. ( steve's always so eager to get to that part of the evening -------- he revels in the exhale that follows the end of a job and the echo of the two of them still playing a part. tonight she's going to try her best to resist getting swept up in that afterglow along with him. )

but he makes it difficult, showing up in the doorway to her bedroom dressed the way he is before he makes himself at home at the foot of her bed, watching what's left of 'the show' ----- for all the time she spends around him, she still is always ( momentarily ) thrown by just how well he cleans up. --------- not that she doesn't also possess a similar talent for it; the dress she's picked out is one of his favorites ( a coincidence, she'll argue; not something she's done completely on purpose ), deep - cut v in the front and flowy ------ everything she'd never think to pick out for herself otherwise.

she adjusts the dress one final time in the mirror before she turns to ask his opinion on her choice ------ but before she can inquire properly, his hands settle on her waist and a kiss ( the first of several ) is lightly pressed against her sternum. / @rgerz.

she's sure he can feel the way her skin prickles the moment his mouth comes in contact with it; his exhale alone on the center of her ribcage is enough to make her shiver. "steve," she's certain he hears her ------- he's close enough now to feel the hum of the way she speaks. but it doesn't deter him from brushing his lips a second time over her skin. "you keep that up, and we are going to be so late."
