[Kiss accomplished! He makes sure to make it last, his right hand cupping Layla's cheek even as the left one lands on her shoulder for a soft squeeze. However, he does still need to get the last word in, so he pulls away after about ten seconds.]
... Now you're just puttin' words in my mouth. I'd love you no matter what.
Ooh? That sounds like a challenge to break the hobbit bed.
[Which is something he'd be up for, consequences be damned. He'd pay for the damages, but he's not sure who would even need to be paid. There's nobody in charge of these homes. He could technically do whatever he wants to this place.
Either way, the implication is there, along with the acknowledgement that he's absolutely up for finding the bedroom. He still wants to rest his forehead against Layla's some more, but she can lead the way if she wants to.]
[She doesn't move too quickly, happy to rest her forehead against his and breathe in the moment, breathe in that axe body spray. Marc is lucky she loves him or she might make him change what he uses as body spray.
But as it was, it was fitting and she was used to it.
Kissing him once more, something soft and chaste, she starts to walk backwards, pulling him along with.]
You're paying for any damages. You have far more spoons than me.
[The extra kiss is very much appreciated, and he makes sure to rub the side of his nose against her own in an affectionate manner. His hand's still stroking the side of her head as much as it can, too, careful not to have his fingers caught in her curls. When she pulls him along, he follows obediently.]
Yeah, that's fair. That's a fair deal.
[It'd be 100% worth it. Still, more important than that is making sure Layla's comfortable, so he's going to let himself get carried away unless she wants him to.]
[If she wasn't of a mind to make this romantic and fun, she would be breaking the bed for you Marc getting carried away. But for their first time in a while, she is of the mind to keep it slow and romantic. Something they both can enjoy readily.]
Come on, Mr. Frodo, we've got to get the ring to Mordor.
[She does her best Samwise impression before pulling him into the bedroom once she finds it.]
[He laughs at that. It's a short, nasal sound, but a laugh all the same. That's one way to set a mood. Damn if he doesn't adore it, though. He adores her. As soon as they're inside the bedroom, stumbling their way towards the bed itself, his hands are already going up underneath her shirt to feel bare skin.
He's been a perfect gentleman for all these months, but it's been a while and he's just about itching with the desire to get as close to Layla as possible.]
[Layla knows he's been such a gentleman and honestly, she was done waiting a while ago, but it didn't feel right yet, like she was jumping into a pool before she was even in her swimsuit. So she followed her instincts and trusted to wait til it felt right for the both of them and their relationship.
Humming at the feel of his hands, she kisses him more passionately as she starts to unbutton and push off his shirt.
[Marc continues to be a gentleman throughout it all, because even with his desire overwhelming him, he's aware that this is a two-way street. And Layla's the one who deserves to be showered with good feelings; strokes and rubs and nibbles in all the right places. (Or maybe it's the wrong places. He can't feel what Layla's feeling, so it's mostly guess work, but he thinks he's doing alright.) His own pleasure comes second.
He doesn't know how much time has passed by the time they're both lying flat on their backs, basking in afterglow. It could've been thirty minutes, it could've been four hours. He feels like he ran a marathon, anyway, his heart still hammering in his throat. His head comes to rest sideways against her shoulder, and his hand seeks out her own beneath the blanket.]
[Marc knows better than most all her right spots and a couple delightfully wrong. She feels pampered and it just stokes the fire in her to want to pamper him back, to touch and stroke him just right, to kiss and breathe in. Their breathy moans and groans are like a symphony to her ears, she missed doing this with Marc, to be so entwined and in intimate.
When it's all said and done, she holds his hand, tilting her head to rest against his own, a smile coming to her lips. She feels out of breath and perfectly sated. It feels right and she's glad to be here with him.]
[All in all, Marc's just happy she let him back into her life after the several ways in which he betrayed her trust. Part of him still thinks she should've kicked him to the curb, because he'd deserve that treatment, but... It's not about what he deserves. It's about what she wants, and doing his best to make that happen. Anything she needs, he'll provide, 'dwarf tossing' included.]
Heh... I've got my moments. Is it weird that I'm disappointed it wasn't enough to break the bed? [His hand squeezes her own.]
Not at all, I'm also a little disappointed. It would have been really something. There's always next time.
[Because there would be a next time, she wanted to have a good relationship with Marc, she wanted to marry this man again. As much as he's been a heartache in many ways, he loves him... reaching over to cup his face, she leans in for a kiss, smiling into it.]
[And he returns the gesture in full, his own right hand moving to her neck so his fingertips can stroke along the top of her spine. It's the sort of physical closeness he wouldn't want with anyone else. (barring fuck lightning, but fuck lightning is an outlier and should not be counted.) Once the kiss has lingered long enough, he backs out of it just enough to speak.]
Does next time mean I'm gonna have to secure the Hobbit house again sometime? Maybe make it a monthly thing?
[He releases a breathy chuckle at the address of Moneybags. Still wild that he's so rich when the local currency comes from socializing, but he will always keep in mind the only reason he has that much lore is because of his grumbling and shitposting.]
Yeah, sure. Long as we close the door so Tut can't get in.

I don't know, Mr. Moneybags, that's up to you and your wallet. Though Steven is out of the apartment more, so maybe we can cozy up at home.

[She chuckles and gives him another kiss, this time to the tip of his nose, playful.]
This was fun though, have to keep it in mind.
