[ Watching her is more than temptation; it's edging into low grade torture. Hei lets her slip off the wisps of cloth before he steps out of his own shorts. Spanning his arms around her back, he pulls her in tight for a moment and squeezes hard, feeling her bare breasts against his chest, the heat of her belly against his erection and the slightly sticky feeling of their bodies rubbing together. The wine bottle is a hard cold press against the dip of her spine; he takes a long inhalation of her hair, noses along her jaw, biting her neck and shoulder, her scent somehow augmenting his hunger but comforting too. ]
[ How strange is it, to find himself in a place like this, with someone like her, at the same time his mind is dangling over the abyss, empty-hearted, empty-pocketed? Surreal. ]
[ Tugging her wrist, he guides her into the tub. The water is on the edge of scalding -- he tends to set the temperature too high. Sinking upto his shoulders, he sets her against him, back to front, his legs bracketing her on either side, her hair tickling his chin. His spine feels stiff, despite the hot rolling water, with a tension that vibrates inside. It's half Korra's proximity, half an inability to relax anywhere -- but this is good enough. ]
[ No candles or music, nothing romantic -- but calmly pragmatic, which suits him best. ]
