[ Yeah he's not worried about hurting her too badly because he's pretty sure that would sort of be insulting given their respective capabilities. If she's still at least not towards the end of getting to her feet by the time he's back on his knees he's just going to dive at her and tackle her back to the ground. Hah. ]
[ He doesn't really have a shot at actually hurting her most likely - not without either a significant amount of great luck on his side and bad luck on hers or some totally random thing messing it up. She sees him coming just in time to go limp to absorb the impact before wrapping her legs around his and trying to roll him over, basically turning this into a wrestling match. ]
[ Which is totally why he's not worried about it. The limpness surprises him enough that her legs wrap around him easily, although he recovers quickly enough to make the rolling a little more difficult. Not very, but he's pretty strong when it comes down to it, and at least tries to use her own momentum against her to keep rolling them so that he's back in a favourable position. ]
[ He is actually pretty strong, and sure she's pretty strong too but she's also a lot more out of practice than she realized with anything non-lethal. It's been years since she had any reason to use just restraint tactics in hand to hand, and she winds up back beneath him, momentum from his initial rush gone as she takes a moment to catch her breath and figure out a strategy. ]
[ Well, for his part, he seems relatively surprised that that worked, lying across her like he is now, and he grabs both wrists and holds them in place. It leaves her legs pretty much free, more or less, but there's only so many things he's thinking about right now and a decent number of them are 'oh, wow, look'. ]
[ He is actually really very lucky in this moment that she likes him enough to curb her instinctive reaction to not being able to use her hands, but she does like him and (more importantly) trust him that much and she just pushes up against him to kiss him, a cover for wriggling a leg free for a little more leverage, arms straining against his hands. ]
[ Yes he is, and someday he'll realize that. He's more startled by the kiss than anything at first, which is good enough for her leg to get free, and then he goes along with it, because hey he likes kissing her and if this turns into wrestling turns into foreplay turns into sex, he's okay with that. His arms though, they aren't really letting up. He's got leverage, size, and gravity on her at least, disregarding how equal or unequal their personal strengths happened to be. ]
[ She delays her plan for a little bit because actually kissing him is quite nice, even if initially just meant for a distraction and she's still pinned and can't think of any moment she's been thrilled to be pinned. No, that's not entirely true, it's just that the last time was a good twelve years ago. There's a little leverage to be gained from having one leg out from under him, though, and she's flexible enough that putting enough force behind it should get her able to slide herself partially free under his side if she can surprise him enough with the move. Even if she manages that getting her hands free is going to be another matter entirely. ]
[ By the time he realizes that kissing him was like, one hundred percent for distraction's sake, it's a little late not to be surprised enough by that move that she can totally slide out a bit from underneath him. He makes an interesting, quick noise of either such surprise or his irritation-slash-indignation at being tricked so heinously, and tries to remedy the new issue as quickly as he can though. ]
[ Yes, it was a terrible, terrible misuse of power and she doesn't regret it at all right now because that was kind of a really hilarious noise he just made. The lack of use of her hands does make it a little bit difficult to really do something, but she's pretty flexible, and wrapping her legs around his torso is the first step to hopefully gaining the necessary leverage to getting them free. ]
You are such a goddamn cheater, you know that? [ It's more or less just grunted out as he tries to keep her in place - which goes... Okay. It doesn't go quite how he wants it to, although it doesn't exactly help that he seems to just get more desperate and less strategic the more it seems like she might be about to escape. ]
[ It totally was, she's very pleased with herself right now in general. At first the only response to that is a laugh, low and entirely pleased with herself, because she's trying to figure out if she can flip him from here. ]
First rule of combat, Tony. [ A little breathless in turn because she just wants her hands back and he's being rather unpredictable and making it pretty difficult here, not to mention being taller and heavier enough that once even partway pinned getting out isn't easy without more drastic measures. ]
[ She probably can if she waits for the right moment. He's not paying enough attention to his center of gravity right now, focused too much on keeping her in place and not enough on himself for the same. Her laughter doesn't really help his concentration at all. ]
What, seduce your opponent? Still feels like cheating.
[ Ha, yes, right moment achieved and she's back on top, if the awkwardness of the positioning means that one of her legs is still partially under him. She hasn't wrenched her hands free yet but for the moment she just spreads them on either side of his head and leans down to kiss him again. ]
[ There is neither much he can nor wants to do about this change in circumstances to any great degree. He'd like to stop lying on her leg since it's hurting his back, probably her leg, and uncomfortable, but other than that, looking up at her while she basically pins him again. He has her hands, still, but she has him beat with gravity and physics. He'd applaud, if he could.
Kissing though, he's almost positive that that's just a distraction and there she goes saying it wasn't. ] Uh huh. Prove it.
[ Technically, he totally could applaud, he'd just have to let go of her hands to do it. She pauses in kissing him to wrench her leg out from under him, leaving her free enough to just straddle him. Her hands she leaves in his grip - with this much of an advantage she's okay with that. She can get them back if she really needs them. ]
This is seduction. [ Murmured against his ear before she starts to kiss her way down his neck, rough, special attention to the points she knows are sensitive for him. Kissing him had been almost entirely about distracting him, nothing beyond that it was a kiss really specifically designed for anything further. This - this definitely is. ]
[ It's a lot more awkward to hold on to her wrists from this angle though. His leverage in several variables has been greatly diminished now.
He'd probably have more of a problem with this if she weren't actually doing something that's fairly amazing. As it is he sort of moves, attempts to roll her back over while she's distracted, although it's pretty obvious that he's rapidly the one who is more distracted right now, the way he pushes up against her instead of twisting as much as he could, or how his hands slightly shift positions. He doesn't entirely give in, because he's got more control than that (a bit), but there's definitely a marked difference, she's right. ]
[ She's pretty controlled at the moment, answering his attempt to roll her back over with a twist of her hips against his, grinding down against his push and okay, that might make her a little more distracted than she had been a moment before when she was putting all her effort into affecting him. That actually does something to her as well as him, and it's a really good thing. ]
Are you really going to tell me to stop? [ Murmured against the underside of his throat and followed up with a sharp nip and suction, working on marking him. ]
[ He is not going to tell her to stop. He is not, in point of fact, going to tell her anything. He is instead going to mostly make a little noise that's not at all anything but objectively manly, and tilt his head to make that a little easier for her. His hands have relaxed a bit, but that's just because she's forcing his attention to go in totally different places. Like his hips, which - okay, he's not going totally seduced all at once here, he got that she got something out of that, a little more than she was expecting. It's why he doesn't mind potentially interrupting what she's doing to his neck by arching his hips back up towards her again. ]
[ Oh yes, entirely objectively manly, and she takes full advantage of the tilt of his head, grinning against his skin at the faint slackening of his hand's grips. She's been pretty sure she could get her hands out for a little bit now and just hasn't bothered, and right now she's too busy but she knows she could. And perhaps that's why she leaves them as is, just presses her lips a little lower down his throat, single-minded until he presses back up against her and okay, yes, that feels really nice. Her breath stutters against the sudden pressure as she grinds back down almost without thinking about it, eyes heavy lidded and rapidly darkening when she presses her lips against his mouth for a moment, barely pulls back to speak. ]
Borrowing tactics. Very good. [ A slightly deeper kiss before she pulls away again. ] Glad to know I'm teaching you something.
[ His turn to smile with the stuttering in her breath, his turn to gasp as she instinctively, immediately, grinds back down in return. He's more than happy to kiss her again when she comes towards him for it, and he lets go of her wrists entirely in favor of running them along her back, wherever she seems close enough to do so. ]
[ Her smile against his mouth is small and private at that change of his hand's location, because she's really quite happy with him touching her right now. Very happy indeed, and she presses in closer and kisses him again, harder this time. ]
You could. [ Yes, good, excellent, he approves of all of this - the harder, the kissing, the pressing, the happiness, the touching; everything's okay right now. ] I have a slight preference for bad girls, but really - [ kissing. ] - you know - [ more kissing. ] - anything bad. [ clearly. ]
Mmm. [ She arches her back up against his hands, smile widening. ] Then you hit the jackpot. Now shut up for a minute and let me kiss you. [ Nipping at his lip as she puts force into her kiss, pressing him back against the mat. She's pretty sure she's got this seduction thing down. ]
Well, okay I can pr- [ 'obably do that', is what he was going to say, which totally contradicts what she was telling him to do, but that's... Basically how Tony functions. He stops trying to talk when she pushes him back into the mat though, settling instead for talking with his hands and holding her tighter. ]
