It was hard to do anything but giggle gleefully as he descended into inarticulate scolding. "You're a man I came home with," she pointed out, "and you don't have a dingy apartment." She neither confirmed nor denied the fleeting nature of her affections, because that could be astonishingly variable, an ongoing calculation taking into account how much fun she was having and how much she could get away with.
She didn't hold her breath while she waited for an answer, but she very nearly did. In the resulting quiet she could have heard a pin drop; it was the quietest Dean had been since she'd met the poor man. She hoped that she hadn't miscalculated. She'd been trying to push him, yes, but to try and draw him out, not push him inward.
But then that smile. It could hardly even be called a smile, the way the muscles of his face barely even moved, but it was absolutely a smile. When he pushed himself away from the counter, she took a step back, but kept her hold on his tie; as he backed her against the wall, it gave her the slight illusion that she was leading him on. And it kept her from tipping backward.
The slightest frisson of fear as she was cornered, trapped and watched and not a word spoken. Fear may not have been the right word, the thrill she associated with fast cars and rollercoasters and occasional consensual sexual menace. When his hands went to her neck, what might have been as gasp emerged instead as a sigh, grip around his tie tightening though she didn't pull.
"Constantly," she breathed, releasing him as he captured her wrists, biting her lip and rolling back her shoulders as he pinned her arms above her head. The too-large sleeves of her sweater slid down nearly to her elbows, bracelets at the middle of slender forearms, and she didn't bother denying that goodness was not an attribute that would ever stick. She did let her eyes go wide, and her mouth go soft, and for a second it was possible to believe that she might be sweet.
She kissed him back like she needed him to breathe, like he was the only thing in the world that mattered; she hummed a happy sound into his mouth, like she'd be singing if she could.
