                               leaning  forward,  a  small  kiss  is  pressed  to  dez's  lips,  ❛  you're  distracting  me. ❜  hardly  a  threat,  sawyer  cups  her  girlfriend's  neck,  speaking  through  contact  before  she  finally  manages  to  pull  away  enough  to  catch  her  barrings.  hands  reach  down,  grabbing  the  other  woman's  wrists  and  pulling  them  away  from  her  thighs,  ❛  no  touching  until  i'm  done. ❜

Beautiful had never been a word attributed to Odessa.  Not she, who bristled with ferocity, who presented as aggressively queer, dripping in a feminine-flavoured masculinity.  Dramatically dyed hair crackled under its heavy sheen of styling spray, while barbells glinted dully.  Dez was baked into the punk scene and the scars on her face proved it.  Hers was a mouth made for spitting blood and licking cunt, for singing about fist fights that were far from fantasy.

Fingers with the word D Y K E tattooed across the knuckles drummed lightly, a foot clad in a biker heel bounced absentmindedly, but otherwise she sat still and patient for her girlfriend.  Despite the restless stimming, she found the process strangely soothing.  Normally, her smeary smoke-eyes were accompanied by lurid pops of neon.  Now, with featherlight brush strokes, Sawyer peered at her attentively, remaking her, painting her into something beautiful.  It was an intimate ceremony.

“Yeah?”  Odessa smirked, curling a hand around Sawyer’s thigh as she leaned over her.  Her girlfriend might be too focused to meet her gaze, but Dez still took the opportunity to greedily drink in those pretty features, that bright smile.  “I’d rather look at you.”

                               a  celebrity  in  her  own  right,  sawyer  can  𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲  𝘁𝗼  𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴  𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱,  to  having  people  look  at  her  a  little  funny  as  they  go  through  their  little  rolladex  to  figure  out  just  who  she  is.  it's  been  a while  since  she's  been  on  the  opposite  end.

                                ❛  it's  one  of  my  talents.  though,  i'm  also  that  annoying  friend  that  points  out  the  more  obscure  actors  i  recognize  in  movies.  you  know  the  one.  ❜  she's  rambling,  a  byproduct  of  the  fact  that  she  can  tell  she's  made  him  a  𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲  𝗯𝗶𝘁  𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.  the  question  about  the  win  has  her  folding  her  arms  across  her  chest  and shrugging,  looking  over  his  slightly  wounded  expression,  ❛  i  was  shocked  when  you  were  voted  off,  i'll  tell  you  that  much.  were  you  my  favourite?  no.  ❜  she's  honest,  maybe  too  honest,  ❛  but  maybe  you  could  change  my  mind.  ❜  a  slightly  cheeky  grin  passes  over  her  features  before  she  holds  a  hand  out  for  him  to  take,  ❛  i'm  sawyer,  by  the  way.  ❜

Not a football fan. That’s a bad sign. Jamie braces himself for what he knows is coming. There are plenty of things he’s been in the press for over the years of his career; his relationship with Keeley, the time he was caught hooking up with a woman in a public toilet, the time he was caught holding a cigarette outside of a club despite the fact that it was mid season [ it hadn’t been Jamie’s cigarette, he was just holding it for Keeley, but the press will take what they can get, and that includes a picture of City’s up and coming star (recently loaned to Richmond) holding a cigarette, ruining the body that belongs to the fans — Jamie will never smoke. He knows better than that. But the picture exists, and it’s permanently online ].

She knows his name, which would typically make him light up, but there’s not much time to revel in that joy before she’s saying those three fucking words. Fucking hell. Jamie has to force himself to keep smiling. Lust Conquers All was just something that he’d needed to do. Something to get him away from Manchester [ away from his father ] for at least a little while. When he first signed on to do the show, he planned on going straight back to City afterwards. Clearly, things don’t work out the way he’d wanted them to work out. He’d done six weeks of Lust, had been promptly booted off of City’s squad, and had somehow managed to save his own career [ thanks to some second burst of goodness from Ted’s heart ].

She seems so proud of herself for recognizing him, though. And he’s not a prick, contrary to his reputation from years ago. “Yeah,” he confirms, his fingers fidgeting with the sleeve of his shirt. “Erm, yeah- yeah, you’re right. Good eye, you’ve got.” What else was he supposed to say to someone who seemed to know him only from the show where he’d been fully nude on national television for six straight weeks? Jamie doesn’t actively watch Lust, and he especially never watched his season, so he isn’t exactly sure how much of his body she’s seen. Not that he’s got shame about his body; he’s very proud of the way he looks. But they’re on uneven ground, and he’s not sure how to steady it. "D'you think Danthony deserved the win, then?"

❝ and so you shall be good, ❞ julian promises solemnly for dramatic effect, ❝ . . . next week. ❞ there are visions dancing in julian's head already, ones he shouldn't entertain, yet is most definitely going to. they include but are not limited to — a fog machine, body shots, dancing on top of the bar in his living room, and possibly ending the night upstairs in his bedroom with not one but two models. no more fellow musicians. he doesn't need another hit single written about him being a dick.

he's about to break into a full on pout as he stares into sawyer's soul, whooping loudly in triumph and throwing his arms up when she acquiesces.

He wanted to bring her here, not that he ever did with anyone else. Hell, he hadn't been back in some time. The last couple years he had avoided any reason or trip to come back but now? Well, he wanted her to know every part of him. She already had seen the darkest secrets, it was time to see something that at least had been happy most of the time. A part of him where he had grown up despite how five years ago he had left as soon as he could. Now, however, despite his hesitation to bring her here he was more than happy to see her take to his country. Avoiding more of the places that upset him, he focused on those he loves and shared them with her. There was a glow about her here he hadn't seen before and it made him feel happy, warm. It's why he now offered a beach day, another place to show her that they could spend time together a few days from his work.

Making sure he had enough packed for the both of them, and that everything was going to be well taken care of while they were gone, he eventually made his way downstairs. Andrei was in a pair of black shorts with a white t-shirt and a red and black design on the front. He's shifting the duffle bag on his shoulder when he looks up and sees her standing there in a dress that, in so little words, easily distracts him. It can be seen in his facial expression as he looks her over. He reaches out and wraps an arm around her to pull her close and press her up against him. "It is out front and waiting but I am very tempted to make it wait a little longer...."

                                 when  eddie  does  as  she's  (  not  to  subtly  )  asked,  sawyer  is  about  to  pick  up  her  brush  and  finish  what  she's  started  but  is  once  again  𝘁𝗵𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱  by  his  efforts,  ❛ uh,  yeah!  perfection  takes  a  long  time.  you  wanna  go  out  there  with  one  eye  done?  'cause  that's  what's  gunna  happen  if  you  keep  swaying  like  that. ❜  sawyer's  arms  fold  over  her  chest,  head  tilting  as  her  brows  lift  upwards  in  𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆.  again,  her  eyes  roll  a  second  later,  a  moment  later  holding  his  head  in  her  hands  to  keep  it  still,  ❛ i  swear  to  god.  you're  lucky  you're  cute,  d'you  know  that? ❜

eddie's   annoying,   it's   a   literal   fact.   he   isn't   even   trying   to   be   right   now   though,   and   maybe   that   makes   it   worse.   clearly   sawyer   is   fed   up   with   him   and   eddie   fucking   groans   as   he   shakes   him.   "i   have   issues!"   he   protest,   like   that   explains   everything.   it   does   to   him   at   least.   the   way   she   pushes   his   hands   into   the   seat   on   either   side   of   him   has   him   sucking   his   bottom   lip   between   his   teeth.   eddie   does   what   she   says   and   tucks   his   fingers   under   his   thighs.

"i   didn't   realize   how   looooong   it   was   gonna   take."   but   he   does   be   still,   or   rather   his   hands   are   still.   his   head   starts   swaying   side   to   side   subconsciously.
