((Mz.Hyde Continuation of the Valentine's thread w/Val & Lewis. All who would be offended/are underage, look elsewhere! Spoiler boxes exist for a reason.))

* Mz. Hyde moaned as Lewis started doing that. She never knew that this could feel THIS good.*
Jekyll1886 Mz.Hyde • an hour ago
Pleased at her reaction, he continued his ministrations, a master of technique. His touch was delicate yet strong when it needed to be--particularly as he picked up speed as time went on--and incorporated all the right motions.

Heh.
He obliged her, able to get at an even better angle now, keeping up the fine motions while adding a little more thrust with his arm. He could feel her relaxing even as the sensations drove the heat to build inside her.

*Every nerve in her body felt like it was on fire-in a good way! And then it happened- that moment of bliss that she had always heard about. For a moment, she started crying.*

Luckily, Weir could tell, it was the good sort of crying. Everyone was different, and some people did shed tears during or after the act. Not to mention this was likely the first time she'd had a positive experience of this kind.
As for himself...he'd have to tend to his own needs soon--the sights and scents and sensations he'd witnessed and invoked had only served to further arouse him.
For the moment, he simply smiled at Val, then lay down beside her on his back, head turned toward her so that their gazes might meet.
"Feeling better?" he asked, tone at once tender and playful.

He smiled to see her so enthused.
He looked intrigued when she crawled atop him, thinking perhaps this might mean she was getting ready for another round, but her question stopped him short.
"What?" he managed, eyes screwing up in confusion.

He'd been doing his utmost to keep himself at peak hardness in case she wanted to have a more intimate go at things, now that she was properly relaxed.
Instead, the unexpected touch caught him by surprise, leading to overstimulation. Thus unable to hold off, he felt his body run its natural course and spurted immediately, shaft twitching with the sudden force of it.

'Might've asked that before you--
He couldn't argue with the rush of endorphins, he just hadn't been planning on--and now he was even more sensitive, and wouldn't be able to--.
Of course, if that was all Mz. Hyde wanted to do for now, she had her wish.
"YesandI'dsaythat'swellenoughthankyou," he got out in a rush, breathing rapid.

Have you any idea how men work?
He wanted to explain the nuances of the male anatomy and its function to her, but he hadn't the mind for it at present.
"In a bit," he managed.
I could always dip into my reserves... came the passing thought.
And let Bernadette learn things she oughtn't? came the counterpoint. Ha!
Besides, if it was goin' to be a snug fit before, it'd be bloody impossible wi' that.
Tempted though he was, he'd simply...wait. Out of his own desire for secrecy and to avoid triggering Val both.

While a warm washcloth sounded positively luxurious, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't fall asleep if someone did it for him. As sleeping was the very last thing he could afford to do here, he opted to clean himself off, though he did make sure to tell Val he appreciated the offer.
By the time he'd finished, the cloth's warmth was fading to coolness, which did help him feel more awake.

He did as she said.
At her proximity, he seemed to perk up a bit--a smile slid onto his face as he returned the gesture and rolled onto his left side to face her.
"I daresay I could do with a bit of contact now," he revealed, inching closer.
"You?"

Her touch, her scent--these quickened his heartbeat as he returned the embrace. The sensation of her curves against him, chest to chest and hip to hip, prompted his ardor to spring forth afresh; he found himself rapidly rising against her.

"Indubitably," he asserted as he turned onto his back.
He was happy to note the position she chose--gravity would only aid them this way, in the flow of fluids as well as in further depth of penetration.
"Are you ready?" he asked with a lascivious smile as he teasingly brushed his tip against the entrance to her furrow.

He nodded.
"As you wish."
He gave her hand a squeeze of affirmation.
"With the position you've chosen, you can actually control the depth," he pointed out, seeking to reassure her.
"If you like," he offered, "I can simply lie here at first, until you feel comfortable enough with me inside you that you'd like me to add some movement of my own."
He'd do everything in his power to ensure this experience was a good one for the both of them.

Her tension wouldn't do if they wanted to make this work, logistically.
"Love, there's nothing to worry about--relax," he said with an easy smile, tone at once playful and reassuring as he gave her hand a pat with his other. "Just brace on me if you need to.
"Not only can you do this," his look turned conspiratorial, "I daresay you'll enjoy it.
"Go ahead," he invited.

Surprised at her sudden vehemence, he immediately thrust upward.
Well, I did ask her to tell me. Still, it was a fine balance with this one, trying not to trigger a bad memory while still going at it with enough gusto.
As he'd previously suggested, he also used his free hand to stimulate her further.

For a while, they simply lay there together, content.
Lewis felt so comfortable he came very close to falling asleep, though he forced himself not to.
Eventually, he was once more able to get his mind working well enough to verbalize more than a handful of words at a time.
"By the by," he mentioned, "if you should want to do this again," and I sincerely hope that you do, "know that you're perfectly free to use your hips and legs to lower yourself down on me as much as you like--it doesn't all have to be thrusts from beneath.
"And, should you wish, we could even try different positions--I've committed the Kama Sutra to memory," he let her know with a suggestive smile, the possibilities dancing like firelight in his eyes.

"In India, that'd be a form of meditation," he remarked, looking up at it. "'Tis quite a wise way to deal with bad memories, regardless," he opined as he returned his gaze to her.
A sigh, as echoes of his own past crept up on him.
"I used to get lost in physicality to drown out the memories of war," he confessed. "Opium, too."

Though he'd not witnessed the event, he knew she'd taken several bullets during Moriarty's attack on the Society--he himself had treated her wounds afterward. Therefore, he wagered, a wee bit of carnal activity was not going to inconvenience her overmuch.

When I was first separated, my body only had basic structural parts, bones, muscles, skin, a nervous system and my circulatory system- in which you have seen before when my limbs detach. Other than that, I was a very empty sack of bloody cotton.

"I meant that maybe someone did something--magic or science, perhaps--that made you have an alternative body in the first place."

"Not that I know of, or I'd not have suggested it," returned Lewis.
He picked up one of the biscuits to nibble on.

"Aye, but I'm no psychologist--and it is your mind," he stated.
He took another sip of tea. She wasn't being particularly helpful in brainstorming with him--he wasn't a one-man panacea.
"Perhaps you could talk with Dr. Henry Rose, if that might help," he suggested. After all, he reasoned, they had the entirety of the Society to draw upon.

"Then it's up to you to weigh the risk of it being bad--or good--versus simply not knowing. I can't make that decision for you."
He finished his cup of tea.
"Bear in mind you needn't decide immediately. Give it some thought if you like."

"The appendix stores good gut flora in case the rest are wiped out by severe disease or poison. The tail bone's residual, but lends stability. And some men have been known to lactate when they've a wee bairn whose mother's died."

"Females do that once a month--from the other end and with a liquid far more likely to stain. Drunkards vomit. Children wet their undergarments. Dogs and cats drag in dead things as a way of saying 'I love you'."
He shrugged.
"Life is messy no matter which way you slice it.
"Embarrassment is the indulgence of letting other people shame you." And I've no use for it.

As they walked arm in arm through the garden, Lewis took in the sights around them but also paid particular attention to Valerie's gait, hoping they'd not overdone things too much the previous night.
"Ah, meadowsweet," he remarked as the scent wafted to them.

Helen had spent the morning looking for Weir, and just began her search of the greenhouse when she spotted a familiar figure in the distance.
Her initial gladness at locating him rapidly turned to surprise as she noticed he seemed to be in rather close proximity to someone else, then shock as she realized that someone he was embracing was none other than Mz. Hyde.
Only a heartbeat later, the sheer exhaustion that weighted Weir's form and the fact that he still wore his clothes from the day before registered, the fact that he'd obviously been drinking plenty of caffeine to combat what must've been twenty-four hours, if not more, of sleep-deprivation only adding to the sharp sting of worry in her heart.
This was followed by the realization that the cool February air was revealing a bit more of the night-manager than she would have liked.
...Good God, Lewis, what have you gotten yourself into?
Shaking her head, Helen composed herself briefly before stepping forward.
"Ah, there you are Lewis," she called, breaking into a smile as she approached the pair, "I was wondering where you'd gone to."
"I truly hate to interrupt, but I need to discuss some things with you regarding our next session--I'm afraid it's quite important, and I'm rather backed up on paperwork at the moment."
She held his gaze as she said this, smile turning sheepish at needing to pull him away from his stroll.

"Oh," said Lewis as he turned his gaze to the day manager. "Hello, Helen."
She spoke of the session and paperwork.
"Ah, right!" he exclaimed, a look of realization upon his face.
"I'm so terribly sorry," he apologized to the night manager, "but I'm afraid I need to go."

Lewis was surprised at the public display of affection--in front of the Society's day manager, no less--as well as the equally public declaration of love. Not to say he minded them, per se...it just wasn't his way, given his upbringing. And he had hoped to break the news of his and Valerie's dating to Helen a little more gently than this--he wondered in the back of his mind how Hela, too, was going to take it.
Ah, well. Too late, now.
More troubling, though, was the sudden and intense jealousy he felt from Mz. Hyde from the moment she spotted Helen.
Not knowing what else to do in the moment, he returned the embrace and bade Val goodbye, then walked with Helen to her room, there to discuss her session and other matters.

Helen appeared just as surprised, if not more so, at the show of just how far along things seemed to be in their relationship--after all, the famous three words were not something to take lightly and Mz. Hyde apparently felt comfortable enough to kiss him in front of her with enough casualty it was clear they'd done so before
She was more concerned, however, with how uncomfortable Lewis looked in that moment, as if he wished for things to be going any other way than they were.
After saying farewell to Mz. Hyde as well, she walked with Lewis into her room, shutting and locking the door behind them both.
"Here, let me get your coat and shoes," she said gently, reaching to take his jacket, but not touching him just yet--she wasn't certain if he'd be alright with it.
"Hela said you can use her bed as long as you need, and we'll be here to watch and make sure nothing happens while you sleep."

"Thank you both," he returned, allowing her to do so. "Truth be told, I've not slept a wink."
He removed his shoes.
"But we do need to see about your session. Also, is there anything amiss? I imagine I ought to at least provide you an explanation, too, given...well."
He shook his head.

Helen folded his jacket neatly and set it aside.
"I could tell," she said as to him not sleeping, her brow creased with worry lines.
"There is nothing at all wrong with me--I'm sorry if I startled you at all, getting your attention in such a manner, but I simply couldn't stand by and allow you to run yourself ragged without rest...In truth, I only pulled you aside so you could have a nap."
She led him gently to the bed with a hand around his side, pulling back the covers for him so it'd be easy to lie down.
"You needn't worry about talking or explanations now, I can wait," she assured him with a fond smile, "It's more important that you sleep."

"I...thank you," he managed.
I suppose I can't encourage Helen to get proper rest if I don't do the same, he reasoned, relieved that was all this was about.
"I doubt I'll sleep for too terribly long, given I've just had over a pot of tea, but I do appreciate it nonetheless."
He doffed his outer clothes and slipped into Hela's bed.
It did feel awfully nice...
He was soon asleep.

Helen tucked him in, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead before covering his face with a spare sheet--her hope was it'd keep him concealed and the light out of his eyes while still not being too terribly hot.
After Lewis was taken care of and the remainder of his clothes folded, she pulled over a chair and sat near the bed with a bundle of paperwork in hand, content to work while she allowed him to catch up on sleep.

Richard nodded towards Millie, a gentle smile curling one corner of his mouth.
In response to Griffin's question, he rolled his shoulders back in a surprisingly elegant shrug.

"Oh, might have been thinking of something else then." Griffin said before a sip.
"If you're thinking of the night you came to the society, that might be it." Millie suggested.
"No... I definitely heard it was at a different party here."
"Well hopefully no one trys it at this party... If anyone knows what's good for them they won't try it at least."

Richard shrugged, chuckling softly in agreement.

"Either tha' Lanyon fella'd get ta em, Griffin would, or I'd end up eatin' em," came Charricthran's somewhat odd addition.
Richard rolled his eyes and his them behind a gloved hand, the gesture unusually expressive for the typically reserved man.

Charricthran blinked rather owlishly, the wry grin on his face quickly taking on a sheepish nature.
"Ah. Sorry about tha'. I'd no' actually eat anyone--more likely ta do as ya said an' toss 'em out on their bum."
Richard rolled his eyes again for good measure.
