Hanne

[nola_joshlyman]

Diego had to stop putting it off. He had a bunch of Hanne's mail that he needed to give her. And he knew he should do it now, because she was seeing someone else and was in love, and so what was the point of holding onto her mail or asking her to drop by? He had to shift his thinking, again, into a new era of Hanne and Diego. An era in which there wasn't a Hanne and Diego.

So it was late morning when Diego went by Hanne's new apartment with the mail in one hand, following a different resident into the building. He knocked on the door, steeling himself for seeing Hanne again for the first time, knowing now that she had moved on.

The pancakes were great and she was only half-finished eating, but who even cared? Hanne smiled as she got up and moved over to Max, but instead of sitting nicely in his lap like she had outside Phoenix Effect--appropriate for public consumption--she straddled it and slid all the way forward, arms looped over his shoulders. "You're the only one I want to notice me."

Ah, the most delicious part of brunch. Max grinned, all wolfish, and steadied his hands on Hanne's hips as he kissed her.

Hanne kissed him hungrily, one hand sliding over his shoulder, down his chest. It was impossible to resist touching him, especially when he looked at her like that.

"In your bed?" Max asked when he could finally tear his mouth away from Hanne's. "On the table? Somewhere else?"

[nola_yvaine]

"Yes, yes, and yes," she answered with a shameless smile, rolling her hips very intentionally against his. "Have me anywhere and everywhere, please."

[nola_tristan]

Max laughed, but the laugh was shot through with obvious want. “You have to pick one first!”

[nola_yvaine]

"Mmm, table," she decided, because why go anywhere when she could have him right here? And she was beyond caring about making a little mess.

[nola_tristan]

“Table it is.” Max was more than happy with the convenience. “Up you go.”

Hanne stood gracefully, pulling her oversized t-shirt over her head as she went. She tossed it into the other room, then took Max's hand to pull him up after her.

“So beautiful. Just perfect,” Max said, almost without thinking, because it was the most true thing in the world. He kicked off the rest of his clothes (not much!) and climbed up after her.

Not only did they have all new lives so they could be together again, but they had all new bodies, too, and Hanne very much appreciated Max's body. She watched him undress, eyes going dark with want, and kissed him hotly.

Max kissed her back without hesitation, without anything held back at all. He knew Yvaine; he was learning Hanne. It was a new adventure, and he was thrilled that they seemed primed for eternal adventure.
