[He grins at that, turning his head to begin kissing her a bit more gently. Shifting, he straddles her hips-- half to test her limits, half because he just wants to lay like that.
[Her eyes open and her lips pause as he moves. She glances down at him, trying to see how he's adjusting himself...but he isn't intruding on her and isn't making her uncomfortable. She closes her eyes again, nipping tenderly at his lower lip.]
[He shivers, his back arching like a cat against her hand. It's a reaction he looks mildly embarrassed about a moment later, and makes up for by kissing her once again.]
[He stares down at her for a moment, looking stunned-- and then darts forward, kissing her neck with renewed vigor. Between kisses, he begins murmuring, his free hand running through her hair.]
God, you're beautiful-- I don't say that enough to you, but you are, you really are-- beautiful and brave and clever as hell--
[Alice stiffens, but not out of revulsion. Physical contact like this is always a little overly stimulating for her, exciting, and she smiles. Her hand brushes his shoulder and squeezes affectionately.]

[He murmurs it, not pulling away from her-- but he does pause, not moving his hips, his hands staying still on her shoulders.]
action;
Mmhm. I'm all right.

[He begins moving down, kissing at her neck, nipping lightly there.]

God, you're beautiful-- I don't say that enough to you, but you are, you really are-- beautiful and brave and clever as hell--
action;
You do, though--
[She's sure she's blushing now.]
You're wonderful, Jack.
action;
Too much?
action;
Not necessarily. It's simply... I'm not used to it, still.
action;
I keep forgettin' you've never done this before.
action;
I can't remember anyone calling me pretty and actually caring besides my family.
action;
Well, now there's me. And you are pretty and I care a whole hell o' a lot about you, actually, so don't go anywhere.
action;
I don't want to go anywhere. I like being here with you.
[And that's more than she can say for anyone else.]
Re: action;
[He smiles down at her-- kisses her-- and then jerks up as the siren sounds.]
Aw, shit!
action;
It's all right. We have ten minutes.
[She smiles, though, and slides out from under him. She grabs the basket.]
I suppose we'll have the picnic at home, then.
