[He's just in his room. He knows Martin's nearby, but he still pulls out his phone and pulls up Martin's contact. He likes keeping nearby the other man, especially when Jon's out for whatever (likely work-related) reason, but for this...maybe a touch of distance. Just in case it's not received well.]
I don't know if you know this, but I happen to find you rather attractive and I very much enjoy your company and, currently, I'm very easy access to you.
So
If you'd be of an interest, I'd be happy to help you with your quota concerns. If not, however, I'll not take offense. This is a no-pressure offer.
To be fair to you, I do flirt readily enough, but certainly not with any I don't wish to. I'm a terrible liar.
Handsome, I'd have happily slept with you afore staying here and the only factor Jon plays is knowing he'd have peace of mind that you're not in threat of falling into the SLUT center. I'm offering for you. It is no hardship to me to be in your company, Martin Blackwood. In fact it's a pleasure I rather enjoy.
[Which is about the most warning he's going to give before extracting himself from his bed-nest to go to Martin's room. He gives a soft knock on the doorframe before leaning in with a small smile. He's hardly dressed for seduction in his flowy shirt and simple long breeches, but it was fine.]
[He shuts the door behind him and moves further in, lingering an uncertain moment too long in front of where Martin's settled.]
I'd have just started face-to-face, but didn't want you to feel pressured either if the offer held no appeal. Easier to turn someone down over text for some, I've found.
[Might be less awkward than standing there staring at him. He was not usually this...this, but between being a bit of a mess recently and not wanting to be a mess for Martin, it neither was working particularly well.
He moves to sit cross-legged in front of him with a small, but earnest smile.]
Not against doing something tonight, if you'd like, but there's no pressure after just saying yes in general...I would like to ask permission to kiss you, though, if I may.
I'm usually more smooth than this...but I think we can figure it out.
[He leans in, hands gentle and slow as they curl around Martin's wrists, though he doesn't pull them away yet. He presses a quick kiss to the back of his fingers before tugging to move them.]
Easier to get to your lips this way.
[Chris leans in further, smile soft as he presses his lips to Martin's lightly to start.]
[Oh! That's a bit- the kiss to his fingers is sweet, makes him flush and that's still there when Chris does pull his hands away from his face. He's smiling, warm, and the soft press of lips is wonderful, honestly. He kisses back, just as slow and careful.]
[Chris chuckles, warmth filling the uncertain parts of him. It wasn't a familiar feeling but he...this was different. He charmed and seduced because it was fun and being turned down was no hardship, but...it might be a bit more of a hardship from Martin. Chris liked him and his approval mattered...perhaps a little more than he'd initially considered.
A better thing to realize with that sweet smile to greet him.]
Well, your opinion's what matters.
[When he leans in to kiss him again, it's with a little more pressure, a little more heat, but still largely chaste. He lets go of one wrist to cup Martin's cheek instead.]
[It just feels comfortable. Like he doesn't have to pretend that he's better than he is; more competent, more good looking, cleverer. Chris likes him and that's good.]
I mean, it worked on me, didn't it?
[He grins and then leans into the kiss. He closes his eyes and leans into the hand against his cheek, warm and careful.]
[He gives a pleased hum and his own smile pulls at the kiss, but soon fades in favor of the unhurried movement of lips.
The slide into something more is the same, as though savoring each part of it; a little more pressure, the way he shifts a bit more into Martin's space until his other hand's come up to curl gently at the side of Martin's neck and Chris' tongue presses to his lips, seeking entry to deepen the kiss.
If he gets what he's after, the exploration of the other man's mouth is just as thorough and unhurried. He wasn't aiming to steal Martin's breath and thoughts...but certainly, it would be a happy result.]
[He is sure that his face must be bright red now, a ridiculous reaction, but he can't help it. It feels good, flattering somehow. He rests a hand against Chris's side lightly, and parts his lips for the other man.
It is hard to think now, like there's nothing outside of the warmth and comfort and sweetness of this. And that is... it's so good.]
[He finally pulls back a bit with the intention to say something...but delays it again in favor of leaning in for another shorter kiss.
When he does successfully manage to pull away, he beams up at Martin, a small flush to his cheeks as well. Kissing Martin was...nice. Comfortable, like it had always been an easy thing to do even if they'd only just tried it.]
Did you know you've very sweet kisses? Practically confectioner's grade. Pretty sure I could lose several hours to just laying around kissing you.
[Which...was actually probably a little too honest; this was meant to be a somewhat practical, if well-desired, offer.]

Date: 2022-08-30 01:45 pm (UTC)They're doubling the quota requirements next month. Don't know how you typically get that met, but if you'd be of an interest?
no subject
Date: 2022-08-30 02:14 pm (UTC)Yeah, I hadn't really registered that. I'm-
Bad at meeting it. Scraping by? Don't tell Jon. He'll worry and push himself to do things he doesn't likle.
no subject
Date: 2022-08-30 02:25 pm (UTC)Could offer a solution?

no subject
Date: 2022-08-30 11:16 pm (UTC)I would like that. I mean, not just for that reason. Um- so yes? That sounds good.
I'm really not sure what the appropriate way to respond to this sort of offer is!

Glad you didn't, for record.
