The Ghoul grunted softly in acknowledgement, buttoning the well worn, darkened shirt that had once been the same royal blue as her vault suit, the gold threading frayed and tattered. "Guess we'll see. NCR used to be more accepting than most, but that was a while back." Travelling with a ghoul had many, many drawbacks, townsfolk being unwelcome one of the biggest.
It wasn't hard to understand what he meant and she frowned as she glanced over at him, dropping her hands back to her sides after she got her hair up. He had warned her before that there were drawbacks to traveling with the Ghoul but she didn't want to travel anywhere else. "Well, if they're not accepting, we can find another place to sleep."
"Reckon we'll have to." He sat down to tug his boots back on, glanced around the room, lips twitching with amusement. "You have any recollection of whereabouts you tossed my hat, darlin'? You get a wild streak when riled, you know, and I can't replace that hat."
"Then you should blame yourself for getting me riled up," Lucy smirked over at him before she looked around the room before she found his hat so she could drop it gently on top of his head. "There you go, all better."
He snorted a laugh, reached up to adjust the hat she'd plunked on his head before snagging her around the waist and pulling her in. "Fair enough, since I don't plan on stoppin'," he quipped, tipping his head back to smirk up at her, studying the marks on her chest and neck--more of then than he'd like made by the hands of a Legionaire, but enough made by his mouth and teeth that he was satisfied. Combined with that loose and satisfied look on her face, she looked thoroughly debauched, and he had to remind himself they had to move and he couldn't drag her back down to the mattress.
"Let's go drink that coffee, Vaultie," he murmured instead, giving her ass a quick squeeze before letting her go.
It was reckless and maybe a bit foolish considering the circumstances but Lucy felt her heart give a little tumble when he tugged her close to grin up at her. She knew it wasn’t physically possible for her heart to do that but she still swore it felt like that as she smiled back at him, pleased with the gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.
“Okay,” she murmured before cupping his face between her hands so she could capture his lips in a slow, thorough kiss. Straightening, she winked as she pulled away to head into the kitchen.
