sorcerer_supremeSetting down his phone, Stephen smiles. It's been entirely too long since he's done anything like this-- impulsive and fun-- what with all the saving the world from interdimensional entities and such. But Christine is and always has been someone unlike anyone else in his life, and when the texts started, Stephen was more than happy to step away from his duties to get reacquainted with her.
After ensuring that the New York Sanctum's wards were properly in place, he slips his sling ring onto his fingers and begins the familiar process. Ring hand up, free hand tracing an invisible circle beside it. A moment later, a glowing circle of what looked like orange sparks appears in the air a few feet before him, growing in diameter until it's large enough for him to pass through, which he does...
Appearing through a similar ring in Christine's apartment. Once he's through, the circle disappears.
"I like what you've done with the place," he says, glancing around.

“I changed a few things since you were here last.” The words come out quietly. Her eyes aren’t on the rearranged furniture or decorations, but instead are focused on Stephen. He’s the important feature in this room right now.

Now that he's a different kind of person, at least in some ways, he's at least able to acknowledge just how much Christine does and has always affected him, and very much for the better. He'd been an ass before, but who knew how insufferable he'd have been without her?
Now, there was no need to think about that. Doctor Stephen Strange the sorcerer could say and think things that the surgeon couldn't let himself. Like deciding how much he needed the woman standing before him.
"Have you?" Stephen asked, his eyes just as focused on her. "I didn't notice." He closed the gap a few more steps.

She pulls away slightly, ending one kiss and starting to trail others down his jaw, and pauses for just a moment. “I’m glad you came.”
Sorry for the delay! Holidays. :)
Date: 2016-12-28 09:29 pm (UTC)He's learned enough to be cautious, to want to make it clear that he doesn't take anything about his relationship with Christine-- wherever it stands right now-- for granted by simply moving in. And then she surprises him by doing exactly that.
Once her mouth makes contact with his, Stephen's heart leaps. He kisses her back with a hunger that's almost shocking. As though there's nothing in the world more important to him in this moment than reconnecting with her.
So maybe there isn't.
When Christine guides his hands to hold her, Stephen doesn't hesitate. Both hands at her trim waist, he pulls her against his body. "Missed you," he mumbles against her lips, even if it sounds woefully inadequate.

Taking her hands, she pushes the thin straps of her nightgown off of her shoulders, letting it fall to the floor, leaving her naked. She presses herself against him as she kisses him once more, lips colliding with such force it almost feels like they might bruise. Standing up on her toes so her mouth can reach, she trails up to his ear so that she can whisper.
“I think you’re a little overdressed.”
Her face pulls back and she grins at him playfully.

Date: 2017-01-05 12:33 am (UTC)If ever there was a single moment of time that Stephen would willingly live in an eternal loop, it was watching Christine step back from him and reveal herself to him with two small flicks of her fingers. He smirked at her. "And I thought I was the one with the magic tricks," Stephen quipped, but any more comments were smothered by Christine's kiss.
Her naked body was warm and soft under his hands and against his robes, and Stephen laughed at her comment. "I can definitely remedy that, but perhaps we should get somewhere comfortable first?" Stephen swept the woman off her feet and ferried her to the bedroom, laying her down before pulling at his robes.

Date: 2017-01-11 05:15 am (UTC)The grand gesture of being swept off of her feet in a very literal way drew a laugh from Christine and her face lit up happily. She looked up at him with a smile as he disrobed. His odd clothing barely registered in her mind. Somewhere between seeing him step through that portal at the hospital and seeing him step through the portal in her apartment she’d come to terms with the fact that he’d changed in ways she would probably never fully understand.
As he was almost completely undressed, she gestured for him to come closer with a finger. “Get over here.” Even as he was here she still almost felt like she was still missing him. Christine needed to touch him, taste him, know he was really there.

Date: 2017-01-11 10:30 pm (UTC)Slipping off his trousers rendered Stephen naked at last, and it took all his willpower to maintain just a little bit of dignity and not run headlong towards Christine and the bed and dive onto both. Instead, he walked quickly and slid into place beside her, immediately reaching up to cup her face and pull her into another hungry kiss.
As their mouths worked against each other, Stephen's other hand began to explore Christine's body, familiarizing himself once more with her soft curves and toned planes, searching to see if he still correctly remembered her most sensitive spots.
