Liv giggled, keying in the code that would get them into the staff-only corridors, knowing full well that the backstage area was almost completely deserted tonight. All the behind the scenes action was the work of two men and a projector behind the temporary screen on stage when there was a movie to be shown. "Well, you've been wanting an all access pass, haven't you?" she teased Johnny, playing along with him for the benefit of the few ears to hear them. As the door opened, she drew him into the enveloping hush of the backstage darkness, pausing to taste his lips once again, too impatient not to remind herself of his heat before moving on.
And lo and behold, there was light as he snapped his fingers, and a tiny flame appeared, like a makeshift match, to light their way, careful to keep the flame far enough away from Liv that he didn't set her hair on fire. He murmured appreciatively against her lips as she distracted him with her kiss, making a mental note to offer her a bit of the bubbly a little more often. "Where are we going?" he asked curiously as her lips parted his again, and he took a look around at the dimly-lit surroundings.
She made a soft sound of pleasure as his lips left hers, only just aware that he had illuminated the darkness for them. It was rare that Liv let her head take even a few minutes off; this sweet, instinctive want was something no one but Johnny had ever seen. "Where do you want to go?" she murmured, walking backwards to draw him further into the secret depths of the theater. There was an almost voyeuristic quality to the quiet that wrapped about them, discernible as many people sitting quietly to watch as the action of the film began.
"Doesn't matter," Johnny replied, drawn along behind her like a moth to a flame, though he was the one holding onto the flame. "Anywhere we can be alone for a little while." He wasn't sure what exactly was going to take place between them in the darkened backstage rooms and corridors of the theater, but he had a feeling it was going to be a lot more exciting than what was happening on screen in the theater itself.
It seemed as though Liv, for all her reserve and care to be safe and sedate, had a bit of a license for thrills when her inhibitions had been set aside for a while. She could have taken Johnny to any of the private dressing rooms, deep beneath the stage, secure from intrusion; or even to the rehearsal rooms, equally dark and private. But no, she drew him into the wings, to the prompt's niche set back from the curtains, tucked in on three sides, but still open to the sights and sounds of the wings. Grinning, she tucked her fingers into his lapels once again, drawing him close. "Will this do?" was whispered teasingly against his lips.
He let the flame on his fingers go out as she drew him close, and they were enveloped in darkness, the only light that which came from the projector, the only voices besides theirs those that echoed through the theater from the speakers. He lacked the inhibitions and the good sense that kept most people from taking risks in life, bored with safe living. There was a certain excitement involved in taking risks that made him feel alive, even when danger was involved. It was something that most likely scared Liv, and he'd promised more than once to be more careful, but it was no big secret that Johnny was hooked on the adrenalin rush that accompanied his lifestyle. He grinned as she drew him closer, wondering just what she had in mind. "Are you sure?" he asked, as his hands wandered over the soft curve of her waist and hips. Though he was an adrenalin junkie, he knew Liv was not.
Her smile deepened, lips playing against his as she answered him, resting back against the lip of the prompt's table. "Some risks are worth taking," was her soft answer, her fingers slipping down to unbutton his suit jacket and curl her arms about his waist beneath the rich charcoal fabric.
Like dating me, he thought to himself, which was a huge risk for someone like Liv, but one she had thus far weathered well. Her rationality and common sense often balanced out his impulsive and foolhardy nature and vice versa. It had taken a little time, but they seemed to have adjusted and balanced out better than even Johnny had expected. His lips found the side of her neck while her hands worked at his buttons. He was wearing several layers of clothing compared to her, including the uniform beneath it all that was saved him from embarrassment, should he unexpectedly burst into flames.
And impatient as she was, exhilarated by the chance of being caught, Liv was taking her time undoing those buttons, tucking her chin to play kisses of her own against Johnny's neck as he teased at her skin with his heated mouth. She drew his shirt open, tugged out of his pants, trailing her fingers up over the tough fabric of his uniform to find the fastening that would let her peel it away from his chest.
"Liv," he breathed against her neck as her hands found purchase within the confines of his clothing, none of them quite leaving his body, just pushed aside as unimportant. This was not the Liv he was accustomed to, far more like the uninhibited sister that was Lucy than the shy young woman he knew to be Liv, but who was he to argue" Despite this, he knew she was Liv and not Lucy. He'd had them both, and he had learned the subtle differences between them, his heightened senses able to tell the difference in taste and smell and touch. They might have fooled him once, but they most likely would never fool him again.
As anxious as he was to quell the heat that was building to crisis proportions between them, he knew that when Liv's good senses returned, she was going to be horrified by what he allowed to happen back here. "Baby..." he started as he pulled away from her grasp, his breath hitching as he caught her hands between his. "Let's go somewhere more private."
The sound that escaped her as he drew back was something close to a breathy mew of impatient disappointment, a pout appearing on her soft mouth as she blinked her eyes open, drunk more on the heat and nearness of him than the champagne that had enabled her to take the bull by the horns in the first place. "Johnny," she whined under her breath, indulging in heart over head a moment longer before the first flicker of her usual sense made itself known. Liquid dark eyes looked up at him in the gloom, half-pleading, half-grateful for his restraint where hers had failed. "I don't want to wait anymore," she murmured to him, curling her fingers into his as he held her still. But did Johnny have the strength to insist"
"I know, Liv," he replied with a frown, feeling as frustrated as she was, probably more so, the heat of desire rising between them. "I want you, too, but not here, not where someone might find us. There has to be someplace that's more private around here. Don't you have access to your boss' dressing room?" he asked, tugging her away from the wings, where they chanced not only be seen but heard. He didn't really care as far as his own reputation was concerned, but he was thinking of hers. "We've got two hours to kill. What's a few more minutes?" he asked, taking on the level-headed role that usually belonged to her.
Liv sighed as he drew her from the enveloping, dangerous quiet of the wings. "A waste of time, that's what a few more minutes is," she muttered with comical dismay at her own fevered impatience to revel in the rousing desire so easily kindled between them. "Since when are you worried about being caught?" she added with a teasing quirk of her lips, one bold hand skimming over his backside as she slipped to take the lead once again, drawing him to the steps down into the lower level where the dressing rooms dwelt.
