It isn't so late that the streets are empty, everyone at home and tucked into bed, but it's late enough. The bars are still open, restaurant patios occasionally overflowing with people who, like Lily, aren't yet ready to go home. She's had a few drinks, danced for an hour or so at a club and now she isn't sure what she's looking for. No one in the club held her interest long enough to make her want to invite them home.

She's entertaining going to visit someone, maybe Eames, maybe one of the new friends she's made since her arrival here, but for the moment she stands on the sidewalk, indecisive.

The city's getting under her skin in a way the island never could. It's not New York, but she belongs here more than she ever did there. Even so she can't make herself forget the people left behind, she can't stop thinking about the way they made her feel, the things they did for her. She can't stop thinking about Sawyer and Faye and Jeff. She can't stop thinking about Nina and it's killing her.

"Hey," she says suddenly, turning to a passing stranger. "What time is it?"

"Oh, yeah?" Lily asked, stretching a little, letting herself really just enjoy the feeling of his mouth on her skin. "Keeping yourself entertained?" If this is his way of doing so, she doesn't really mind. It feels good and goosebumps crop up on her arms briefly, a shiver working through her body.

"Mmmmhmmm. Hope you're not too bored," I say, moving down to kiss along her breasts as my hands slide under her and along her back. It's good to have something to focus on, something so distracting so that I don't think about this too much. As soon as I start thinking about it I'm going to freak, and I don't want to do that.

"Bored? Are you kidding?" Lily asks, laughing a little even as she can feel another slow lick of pleasure moving through her. "There's definitely nothing boring about what you're doing right now." Nothing boring about the entire night in general. The drinks, the roof, bringing him back here.

"Then I'll keep doing it," I reply, teeth grazing along one of her nipples, biting down gently. I'm conscious of how badly I want her, but also of how careful I have to be. Letting myself get lost if emotions is new territory for me and while I don't want to over think this, I don't want to accidentally hurt her because I'm not thinking about how strong I am.
