Good luck with telling him that. [ she noses into his throat, then up against the line of his jaw, humming out a pleased noise. ] You know Odin. And if he's going to be coming to live with us for a while soon, there goes our privacy. [ she fully expects odin to just bust in on them whenever he feels like it. he doesn't mean any harm, of course, he's just.. kind of oblivious sometimes.
she unlaces her fingers again, palms sliding around to gently grip his hips, thumbs sliding beneath fabric to rub his hipbones. ]
.. I really want to touch you. And I think you want me to. --Do you? [ she trusts magnus to know what his limits are and to be honest about them, and that's-- she realizes sometimes how lucky they both are, that they communicate this well together. ]
[his breath shortens, like it typically does, at her touch against his bare skin. she frequently rubs his hipbones like that, lately, and frankly Magnus doesn't know if it's more arousing or calming. he thinks a bunch of stupid, hopeless things about Alex's literally magic touch, and shivers under her ministrations. the hand he's curled into Alex's hair twitches, tightens slightly as he tilts her face up. he presses their lips together, deepening the kiss, savouring the feeling]
[(it's never been that he doesn't want Alex's touch. that's never been the issue)]
Y...yeah. I do. Want you to.
[it's such an understatement he almost feels like bursting out into laughter. it's not just that he lies awake at night thinking of Alex touching him, or that he dreams about it, wakes up flustered and short of breath; thoughts of Alex's skin on his occupy him in the sunlit hours, just as much. but there's nerves and hesitance and Limits in the way he clarifies, not quite bowing into that arc of her;]
Not because of Odin or Peter. ...Not because we won't have, privacy, soon.
