Isla San Pedro, Chile, Wednesday Afternoon

[okteiviakom]

Summer's voicemail about the painting had come in yesterday. It was the first message from Fandom since they'd taken off before the holidays. And it felt a little like they were being called back. Like it was time to re-join real life again.

But not yet. Not just yet.

For now, Octavia had a picked a stretch of beach - not a particular one, just a nice one - to wade out into the water from. She was feeling the sun on her skin, some very gentle waves against her legs.

And just breathed.

"Sometimes," Octavia retorted, over her shoulder.

[my_own_advocate]

"Suppose we do take turns," Lucifer mused, getting his hands all over her shoulderblades.

[okteiviakom]

"That seems to be how it tends to go," Octavia sighed, letting her head fall forward a little. Mmm.

[my_own_advocate]

"Perhaps we should move some of our toys into one of the cabins," Lucifer mused. "Make that our mansion away from home."

[okteiviakom]

Octavia gave a little snort, but she could feel a little shiver go down her spine at the thought.

"Might not be such a bad idea," she agreed, a little raspy.

[my_own_advocate]

"Get a mirror in, do things up just right," Lucifer mused. "Perhaps a sex swing..."

[okteiviakom]

"Oh, we're finally thinking one of those?"

It had repeatedly come up before (even further back than Octavia could actually remember), in fairness.

[my_own_advocate]

"It feels like more of an ongoing conversation," Lucifer said, really digging his fingers into her shoulder.

[okteiviakom]

"Fair," Octavia allowed, on another sigh. She would absolutely take a little massage to go with her sunscreen. "Just might actually manifest something."

[my_own_advocate]

"Unless someone decides to be snarky about it again," Lucifer teased.

[okteiviakom]

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of doing that."

[my_own_advocate]

"Excellent," Lucifer said, grinning. "I'll have one shipped in, then."

Ah, there was a knot, not far from her spine. Would've been worse a few weeks ago, he imagined, but he dug his thumbs into it anyway.

[okteiviakom]

Octavia gave a low hum, letting herself relax further into it as her chin pressed closer to her chest.

"You do that."

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer let out a soft, amused sound. "Happy?"

[okteiviakom]

"Feels nice."

Same thing.

[my_own_advocate]

"Good," Lucifer said, smiling. "See, there are benefits to coming out of the sea."

His hands slid further down her back.

[okteiviakom]

He was going to run out of uncovered skin to touch soon, unfortunately.

"I guess," Octavia rasped, sounding faintly amused.

[my_own_advocate]

As soon as his hands touched fabric, he slid his arms around her waist instead and hugged her in close. "You guess."

[okteiviakom]

And what was Octavia to do then, except to lean back into it?

"Yes," she replied without missing a beat. "Got a problem with that?"

[my_own_advocate]

"You couldn't be a bit more certain?" Lucifer teased, dropping his chin onto her shoulder.

[okteiviakom]

"Shouldn't you be convincing me to be?" Octavia retorted, as her head tilted to rest against his.

[my_own_advocate]

Lucifer sighed, turned his head, and pressed a kiss into her neck. "What would you need for me to convince you?"

[okteiviakom]

"Oh, you want me to do all your work for you, hm?" Octavia hummed.

Pleasantly distracted, a little.

[my_own_advocate]

"I'm merely asking for information," Lucifer said, his mouth moving down. Slowly. One kiss at a time.

[okteiviakom]

"Sure you are," Octavia drawled, while her head tilted away from him.
