The dance has an ebb and flow that's not common with them (or with him and anyone else). It might be playful, the dragged out touches and quick yanks, but there's more...sincerity, perhaps? It's not heavy or somber, but it's something.
He lifts his head back in the aftermath of her victory over his shirt, his hair left unruly. A beat passes where he just looks at her down his nose, like he's trying to figure out if she's really real and how they got here. Then there's only tenderness when he cups her head to renew the kiss. Well, at least for a couple of seconds before he's pulling at her, and he snaps the latch of her bra free with one hand.

[Sweeney leaves a box with a multi-strand silver necklace and a note.]
This should prevent Eric from biting you. Also doesn't like the smell of garlic.
He'll be living on deck 4.
If you need anything, just call me. I'll be there.
[ it's after her shift at the commissary when she notices the box on the floor by her door. moose straggles along, stopping by yelena's door to take a noisy sniff under it to see if his sister is there. he rejoins laura a few seconds later when she opens the door.
she reads the note and tempers the knee jerk reaction to find exactly where on the fourth floor the vampire is taking up residence, but decides instead to message sweeney back. ]
My fucking luck.
Thank you, I won't leave home without it. Hopefully I'll have something pointier 'in the event of' soon.
Make sure you keep that silver blade at the front of your hoard because we know you're more of a target than me.
<3

[ the tone doesn't linger. laura puts the facts in order and decides it probably all came up out of respect. raylan and sweeney had the same talk. only she's pretty sure he doesn't quite know the extent of how deeply she came to feel about the marshal in the time before he left the barge. it broke her heart he chose to leave, but there was nothing she could do about it. he needed to leave for himself.
otherwise, everyone seems to fuck everyone and she's not naive to think anyone would want to invest in much more than a friends-with-benefits type deal.
laura pauses and then leans into him. ]
And now? If it bothers you, we can stop.
[ she hopes not. ]

"Does it matter?" Laura grins, grabbing hold of each side of his over shirt and pulling him close and then pushing him back against the door once he's inside and its shut. She claims his mouth in a bruising kiss that slowly and steadily steals his breath.
[It takes him a few seconds to reply, but only because he's busy staring at that <3 and trying to figure out if he should put one in his next text.]
I will.
And good about the spear.
I just
Worry that he might come after you if he's barred from getting at me.
[He doesn't know Eric from Adam (if Adam was a piece of shit vampire), but he wouldn't put it past the cunt.]

Her spunk may not leave him with the same risk of bodily harm that it did when they met, but that doesn't mean she doesn't make the most of her 5' nothing. Sweeney's more than happy to let her push him back. It gives him the chance to catch her under her thighs and pull her up on him. He cocks his hips forward to angle enough for her knees to not be squished by the door as his upper back leans into it, his mouth as hungry and welcoming as the rest of him.
If he thinks that's even an option he'll come to find out really fast how much of a fucking idiot he is.
I'll be safe, promise.
Anyway, gives me a reason to stay close.

That it does.
[As if she could see his grinning through a text.]
We'll get through this.
[Together.]

Laura meets his gaze, her eyes warm and affectionate. She doesn't know what she's feeling. There's no sense of urgency to have him all at once, rather it's a desire to enjoy him and the way he manages to make her feel so alive, warm and needed. This isn't another hook-up to release the tension. Or a necessary reminder that she needs pain to stop the numbness of life.
This was something very different.. But something very good.
Her shoulders scrunch forward, the straps of her bra roll down and off her arms as nipples stiffen from to the cool air of the room they were now exposed to. Laura grins, rolling slowly against the crotch of his pants as she feels him hardening against the back of her thigh.

The way she grinds has him smiling against her lips before he kisses her again. Sweeney doesn't dwell in the act; he shifts his affections in a speckled path to the corner of her mouth, then her cheek, then her jaw, until it comes to her ear. There it parts far enough for him to whisper. His breath is hot, but his hands are still holding her more than trying to get into her panties.
"Tease."
"Tease."
[He runs his tongue along the back of his teeth as he thinks.]
I'm dead. I'm dead and I want to stay dead.
[He turns, muttering softly against her temple.]
But as long as I'm here, I like the light you bring to this place, sunshine.
