"Holy shit," *gasped Jake in the instant there was a break for air, shaking his head briefly before he took her in his arms again, holding her close as he kissed her in return, his fingers brushing against her throat.*

*Lark purred at the warming affection. Leaning back a moment, her lashes heavy, she couldn't help but grin.*
"You're damn right." *She murmured, fiddling at the buttons of his shirt as she kissed him again. This was better. And legal. And nice. Very nice.*

*Jake glanced vaguely at the door.*
"Other's...'ll...'spectin'..." *he didn't manage much else as he was too busy getting lost in the taste of her lips, her skin, the scent of her hair as he shrugged out of Kip's stupidly small shirt and ran his fingers over the fastenings of her bodice.*

"Expecting?" *Lark whispered, her breath still short but managing to slow her fingers even as the smoothed over his newly bared chest. She pouted slightly, but forced herself to try to think this through. But he was there and smelled so heavenly and she was having a devil of a time not thinking about that time in the tent. Lark swallowed carefully.*
"And...you're hungry?" *She offered, trying to remember that it was his family and surely he had obligations...she couldn't be his whole world, no matter how much she wanted to toss him on the bed and figure out how to pick up where they left off.*

"...ain't you?" *he replied.* "Thing is, Trouble..." *he nuzzled her neck as he whispered.* "These walls're pretty thin...an' if mem'ry serves you could git pretty loud..."

*Lark scoffed indignantly.*
"Jacob Quinn!" *She poked, trying not to look too wounded as she moved to pour some water into his basin.*
"I figure they'll be expectin' you in a shirt." *She licked her lips and wiped her hands dry before fussing a tad with her hair. So...if the walls were too thin...wouldn't they still be after supper? For...however long they'd be living here? Surely he didn't expect her to wait til they have their own place. Hell...that could be months... Worry etched her brow as she was thinking too much.*

*Jake grinned, reading her open face like a book. He slipped his arms around her waist and kissed the nape of her neck.*
"They'll clear out after we eat, or I'll know the reason why," *he chuckled.* " 'sides, you'll need yer strength," *he said, the words heavy with promise.*

"Mm hmm." *Lark mumbled, not sounding all that convinced. But hell, she'd waited the whole week, what was another hour? Still...she'd waited the whole week. And now he was touching and kissing and without a damn shirt. What was she supposed to want? Chicken? She sighed and managed a smile in ways of a peace offering.*
"So you gonna get dressed then?" *She asked matter-of-factly.*

"Yep." *He pulled Kip's shirt back on, buttoning it with a little difficulty.* "You gonna kick me under the table, then?"

*Lark's eyes softened and she helped him with the last few.*
"Well, it'd be harder for me to kick 'ya if you'll let me sit next to you proper." *She offered. Course, it made it a lot easier for her hand to find it's way to his lap. She turned, smoothing her skirts and opened the door. Stepping into the hall she smiled back at him a little too sweetly.*
"If that's all right with you."

*Lark rolled her eyes slightly.*
"Uh huh. Somehow I think you might whether I behave or not."
*Lunging forward, she caught him by the hand and pulled him out into the hall and towards the kitchen. Lizzie was hurrying to get a feast set out, but already the table was heavy with goodies. But given Kip's notorious appetite, that was probably a good thing.*

*Jake pulled out a chair so Lark could sit.*

"Thank you." *Lark whispered politely, sitting.*
*Lizzie, serving fork in hand, offered to serve Lark with a gentle smile. Lark nodded sweetly and handed over the plate which was filled up in no time. And now that it was all there in front of her and smelling awfully nice, Lark figured that it wasn't such a bad thing to eat first. If it was the only way to see Jake happy and all. Lizzie turned a playful eye on her broth, brow arched.*
"And you, Jake?" *She held out her hand for his plate, but there was clearly some implication in her eyes. After all, it was rather funny, them sitting there and being all civil when everyone knew damn well what they were really waitin' to do.*

"Fill 'er up, Liz," *said Jake, handing Lark his plate with a sly wink.*
