The Gig: Thursday [6-4-09]

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen wanted sex. No two ways about it.

And Alec was long gone so she couldn't just show up at his door and ask. ANd she didn't have anyone else she could just ask - or seduce into it easily.

Therefore Helen was very frustrated and Not Pleased.

Oddly enough, a long horseback ride made things a tiny bit better.

She might be hard to find around The Gig proper, though if someone wanted to wait for her return from her ride she'd be glad to help them.

Jack was trying to think of something romantic to do. Horseback riding. Maybe that would be it.

"Hello?" He wandered around a bit, not recalling if he'd been there before.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen came galloping into the yard, slid off the horse and hurried out to see who was there disturbing her ride. "Yes?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Hi! Just wondering...how much to ride?" He didn't mean to disturb anyone, really.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen carefully explained the pricing and such to him.

"Were you planning to ride now?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Maybe not right now," he said. "I mean, I'm always up for a test ride, but I was thinking a bit later." Jack was always up for a quick jaunt, if he wasn't thrown by his mount. His riding skills were average.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

A test ride. Uquar, her mind went bad places.

"Ah," she said, hoping she didn't look like a complete fool. "Yes, well... you're always welcome."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I mean, you do have something for someone not as...experienced, right? To ease into it?"

Sure, there were people who went riding two, three times a day but some people just don't have that going on in their lives.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen nodded. "Of course. Some of the horses are quite gentle and easy to ride."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Would...you mind showing me? I mean, I know what to do and all--" in theory, he thought-- "but wouldn't mind a reminder. Used to machines, that's all."

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Oh, this could be bad. Close proximity to a not at all bad-looking male...? Especially the way she was feeling?

But she nodded and led the way back to the horses, picking out a gentle one for him and explaining as she went along.

And trying not to stand too close or stare toolong.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"And I'm supposed to bring gifts, right? Sugar or carrots or an apple, right? Eat right out of my hand." Jack was trying not to get caught checking her out. Focus, Jack, focus.

It didn't help he kept unconsciously flexing a bit, showing off his arms in that tank top. He was starting to get a bit warm.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen swallowed hard at the flexing, totally losing her train of thought. "Well, you should, um... Sorry, I... what were you saying?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Gifts. You've got to make friends, right? Else you'll get bucked. Don't want that to happen," he said, turning to her and grinning. Okay, fine, turning to her, grinning, and flirting a little.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't, oh, yes, yes, right, apples and such." She nodded, totally distracted by the - was he flirting with her now? Oh Uquar, this was bad.

"I, uh, yes, carrots." She found a few, leaning across him to reach, which was a total mistake, leaving her utterly, oh, everything, and handed them to him feeling massively flustered.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

It was another hot day. That would explain the bit of a blush, right? She wouldn't be blushing at ol' Jack Burton, right? And... wow. Jack backed up just a half-step to give her room as she...was she trying to touch him now?

The gears in Jack's brain were spinning. "Carrots are good. Good stuff," he said. "I like apples, too." He took a bite out of one and held it out in front of him, almost like he was presenting it to her. "Do you like apples?"

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She stared at the place where his mouth had touched the apple and - and totally didn't think of anything at all inappropriate.

"Apples, well, yes, I... I never had them before I came here, but yes."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Love 'em," he said, taking another bite. "I dunno, sometimes I just get in the mood to crave something, and it's like nothing gets in my way. Ever get that feeling?" he asked, arms crossed, apple held out in front of him.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Craving? Oh, was she ever craving. Not apples, though, and turly this was just wrong. She didn't even know him and certainly...

"I... yes, it can be very hard to resist even if you know you should never touch - have, want, er... yes, nevermind then."

"Um... so you wanted a good ride?"

From bad to worse.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"True, but once you've had it, you keep wanting more, right?" He winked at her.

"Yes. Every ride's a good ride, as long as no one's hurt, right?"

Worser and worser.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She blinked at him, eyes open wide. Surely he wasn't suggesting...?

But that wink...

"Um... perhaps... what are we talking about again?"

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I think it was a ride?" he said. Innocently. Really.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She didn't believe the innocence, not for a second.

"On... a horse, yes?"

And if he kept looking at her and winking at her like that, she might just drag him into one of the unoccupied stalls and see if his mouth tasted all tart and sweet of apples now.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"...possibly?" He grinned, taking another bite of the apple. He held it out to her, if she wanted some.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Oh to hell with it!

Helen moved closer, well into his personal space, and leaned in, licking the juice dripping from the apple before sinking her teeth in.

She pulled back ever so slightly, chewing the small bite, then licked over her lips, and raised an eyebrow at him.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Nice. He leaned over to take a bite out of the apple himself, bringing his face to it instead of it to his mouth. He waggled his eyebrows, twice, as he chewed.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She reached out, fully intending to grab him by the shoulders, lean in and kiss him silly.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

She wouldn't have far to go to kiss him silly.

The poor apple went sailing over his shoulder as he moved in to grab her by the waist and return that favor.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

And this would be her, backing him up to push him against the wall of the stable, hands around his neck, all but trying to climb inside of him.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack and horses had a lot in common. They liked apples, fresh air, and sometimes didn't mind when someone led them around. He fumbled his hands along her back, trying to not fall over--wall. Wall was good. Sturdy. Well, now that he wasn't concerned with falling, he could turn his mind to other things.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Uquar, this felt so good, and she'd wanted this so much all day that she didn't even care that she didn't know or remember his name, all she cared about was curling herself around him, kissing him and searching for skin under the edge of his shirt.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Men's cotton tank tops, also known by a host of other names, are a wonderful thing. They're cheap, made of fairly flimsy material, are form-fitting, and are sold in bulk. They also expose a lot of skin.

He was still fumbling at her clothes as he moved slightly along the wall, exposing more skin at his waist as his shirt slid up a bit.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"Off, I want it off," she said demandingly, between kisses, tugging at his shirt.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"No problem," he said, removing it with one hand, leaning forward a bit. "Yours?" Mmm...nice kisses.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She tugged it off, pulling away only long enough to tug it over her head and toss it randomly somewhere. There was no bra to worry about today, so she simply closed the distance and found his mouth again.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Her mouth was delightful, and tasted of apples. He caressed the bare skin of her back. Always did enjoy a girl who dressed light. His hands dipped a bit lower, kissing her.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

She moaned into his mouth, arching into his touch.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

His hands drifted to her hips, giving them a squeeze before moving up to the small of her back, his fingers marking little trails across her skin. Ooooh...moans are good.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen pulled away a little, eyes dark and challenging, and took his hand to drag him into one of the empty stalls, her intentions perfectly clear.

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

He accepted her challenge, his eyebrows raised, following her into an empty stall for a roll in the hay. Good thing he carried around some protection; never know what might come up.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen shoved the door closed and pulled him down with a seductive smile.


[ooc: And ftb?]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack had a very happy smile on his face as he moved towards her.

He may have to go horseback riding again.

[FTB is fine!]
