[Joshua. Joshua really. She giggles more, leaning over him just a bit to set the hot chocolate on a side table so she doesn't drop it in her fit of laughter, before snuggling more securely into his hold.]

Whoops. Guess I should try not to keep you awake at night, huh?

Well, it's not something I would really mind.

[He knows his comment is going to go over her head, but that's okay. Right now he can feel he's treading on thin ice and doesn't want to really push things.]

Like I said, I'm completely happy if you're just here with me.

[And he's going to move in to give her a kiss. He's been wanting to kiss her for a bit, but he also didn't want to disrupt her drinking her hot chocolate.]

And the same goes for me.

[Maybe a little over her head, but from the way she responds to the kiss.... no, not as much as Joshua might be thinking. She lets out a happy little noise against his lips, curling her arms up around his neck with a smile.

Apparently, she's been wanting to kiss him too.]

[Yeah, he got the feeling they were both waiting for the right time for this as soon as she had cuddled up against him. He turns his body just a bit in her direction, a leg curling under his other leg to get comfortable.

Yes, he was going to get comfortable. While he's not sure if it will turn into a make-out session, he's getting better at giving signals himself for what he wants and not just fully listening to hers while keeping himself in check.

His hands caress her back a bit before they glide down to her hips and stay there for a bit before running up her back once more.]

[Estelle shifts to face him more fully as well, tucking her legs up under her so she can lean up into the kiss more, wrapping her arms more fully around him. This has multiple bonuses for her: more contact and more bodyheat, and much easier access for kisses. It also meant she had more leverage, so her fingers could trail along the back of his neck, playing with the hair there and teasing his skin.

She arches a little into his touch as his hands glide down her hips and up her back, a short hum of approval escaping her throat. She definitely liked that, and wasn't shy about expressing it.]

[This is... nice. Feeling her respond so readily and reciprocating his actions, too. There's a bit of groan into the kiss on Joshua's part when he feels her playing with his skin on the back of his neck. He knows he's sensitive there and he gets the feeling she knows what she's doing.

So he'll test back in return. Breaking the kiss, he instead kisses along her jawline before trailing down to her neck and placing his lips there to kiss. Would she like that? Is he pressing boundaries? It's a little nerve wracking to try to do this, but he also doesn't want to keep 'playing it safe', either.]

[She very well might know what she's doing, from the way her smile grows against his lips when he groans. She liked it when he responded to her too, it seems.

And she really liked his kisses, it seems, because she arches her neck and shoulders as he kisses down her jaw, returning the caress of his lips with encouraging fingers at his neck, running down towards his shoulder blades then up again, along the back of his neck and the sides. It felt really nice, and this close he can probably feel the way her breathing speeds up a little.]

[Yeah, she's really egging him on with her responses and how her body is reacting to him. He can feel his mind thinking less and more reacting to instinct of what he really wants. So for a moment, he allows himself to do that while a hand that was on her back comes to the front of her body, running over her stomach before going up and placing itself on her breast.

It actually takes him a few moments to register what he's doing as he realizes what he's feeling is a lot softer than what he's used to feeling...]

[And then he realizes what he's doing, what he's feeling under his hand. In practically a flash, he pulls his hand away and even pulls away from kissing her neck.]

I'm sorry! I didn't mean-- no, not that. Just-- Sorry!

[Yep, he's realized what he's done and he's not sure how she'll feel about him being that bold.]

[See, Estelle's not thinking of much at all besides of... well, Joshua and her wanting more of what they're doing together. The muscles of her stomach jump when his fingers trail along them, a little giddy excitement brewing in her gut that she's not quite sure what to do with.

Annnnd then there's a hand on her breast, and she lets out a noise that's somewhere between surprise and approval. So yeah she hadn't expected that. but the boldness was actually kind of nice.

Wait what is he--]

[Only a moment later, he's pulling away entirely, and Estelle's pouting and feeling very, very put out because why? She'd like the kisses and touches back, please.] Hey, hey wait--

[And in true Estelle fashion, rather than do something subtle to show she was completely ok--

She just reaches over, grabs his hand and places it right back where it was with a huff.] I didn't say stop!

[He's not sure what Estelle's reaction was going to be, but it certainly wasn't that. He's actually stunned for a moment when she grabs his hand and puts it back where it had been. There's a moment where he's honestly not sure what to do before he looks down where his hand is, and it finally registers.

She's completely okay with this...

...Um...]

I just... didn't want to cross boundaries?

[Sorry, give him a moment. He's still a bit stunned.]

[That stunned look on his face actually sets her off blushing again, because what was she doing maybe he didn't want to touch that bad yet maybe he--

Her hand falls away as she tries and fails not to devolve into a red face mess.]

Um... I mean... It's just....

Ikindoflikeallthetouchingandkissing and... well, if you did cross boundries, all I'd have to do is say stop, right?

[No, no he really did want to touch it. He just... yeah. However, after a bit of thinking, it's evident what he can do. He's down to two decisions, let this get awkward and ruin the mood they had started, or continue where he left off, which is seemingly the decision he's going to make after he says:] Then I'll trust you on that.

[...and moves in to kiss her once more. Just this time his hand does remain on her breast, giving it a gentle squeeze.]

[She's definitely flustered now, but that kiss is a much, much welcome distraction from her embarrassment right now, and she leans up into it once more. He can probably feel how heated her cheeks are, and he can definitely feel the soft intake of breath against his lips when he squeezes.

She's not quite sure how to gauge that feeling, really. It felt.... weird? Not bad just...]

[He's definitely in control of himself right now. The kiss is tame as he wants her to get used to the other sensation he's currently giving her. There's another gentle squeeze, after that his palm brushes a bit firmly against her. Unlike just a few moments ago, all of his movements are controlled, making sure he can respond readily to any signs she gives him or anything she says.]

[The tamer kiss is certainly welcome right now, as she considers the new sensation. Definitely not bad, but what was--

And then he goes from squeezing to brushing against her, and there's a cross between a gasp and a sound of surprise muffled against his mouth. She squirms, curling her arms up behind his neck again tightly, because ok, that did feel kind of nice.]

[He'll definitely take that as a positive reaction. As much as he'd like to continue exploring that, it's probably best not to overstimulate her right now (or stimulate her to a point of no return). His hands end up going down to her waist, placing them on either side of her hips. At this point, he has no intentions on pressing any more boundaries, content enough with that.]

[Estelle was certainly fine with that-- Just being able to hold and kiss Joshua like this was great, and she didn't want him to think she disliked it when he touched her, because that was completely wrong. Instead she deepens the kiss a little, pressing closer now that his hand has retreated, her forehead nudging against his.

Fingers return to playing with the hair at the nap of his neck as they cool down, a playful little habit she seems to be forming.]

[Feeling Estelle take initiative was definitely nice as his arms did wrap around her a bit to pull her a little closer. He likes this feeling a lot even if he still has insecurity. Thankfully, not as much as he used to have, but it's still there.

Still, she really does like playing with that little sensitive area on the back of his neck, doesn't she? Not that he minds at all. It's nice that they were able to continue on despite the potential awkward.]

[She liked this feeling, too. She didn't think she'd ever get bored of having her arms around him, having him this close-- and especially not of kissing him.

She wondered where else she could kiss?

Still feeling a little playful, she pulls away from the kiss slowly, lips catching on his bottom lip before she plant one on his chin, grinning up at him.] Can I try something too?

[He can feel her slowing down that kiss and pulling away. For a moment he thinks that's going to be the end of it and accepts it, at least until that action while she pulls away and kissing his chin. It's then that he realizes she has something up her sleeve. Usually, that would mean he had to do something to stop her, but in this case? It's kind of exciting.

So in response to that grin, after a bit of a surprised reaction, he's definitely giving her a gentle smile back.]

I don't see why you couldn't.

[He's honestly pretty curious to see what she wants to try.]

[She beams up at him, pressing another kiss to his chin. With permission given, she doesn't shy away from letting her next kiss fall a little lower-- right to the curve under his chin.

The next few kisses are along the same path: his adam's apple and the little patch of skin below that. She takes her time exploring, gently caressing his skin with her lips, learning the lines of him by touch.

She's kind of curious, honestly, to see what sort of reaction he'll have.]

[Feeling where she's tracing her kisses, he tilts his head up so she can have better access. The lower she goes, the more sensitive it is for him, especially over his adam's apple and lower. He lets out a noise of contentment as she explores. His own hands move to caress her back, gently encouraging her.

Of course, she probably had been doing the same to him when he got insecure, but hopefully she'll be more confident in her boldness.]

[That encouragement of Joshua's does help a little: Her fingers join her lips in her carresses, her lips for his throat, fingers for the back of his neck. She's actually kind of disappointed she can't go as low as she wants to his collar, thanks to his clothing-- but for now she presses a meaningful kiss at the edge of his top.

And then her kisses take a new direction, towards the side of his neck. He'd been kind of flustered last time she'd touched him there, maybe it'd feel good....?]
