Kerr actually squirmed in his seat, finding things progressing from awkward to painful in a few swift steps that he felt he had little control over - though, naturally, they were his fault. It made him long for Ben to really be there; spontaneity had never been a problem with him.
He swallowed, not wanting to reiterate his former offerings because they\'d been more or less rejected already. Instead, he fell upon something that had been a very vague, thought-about-but-not-expected-to-happen plan and went with that. "Upstairs," he said decisively, holding his hands out so that Jack could help him up (and also because he couldn\'t get up without headbutting him).
He held firmly onto his fledgling\'s left hand as he led the way upstairs - to his bedroom. "This isn\'t what you think," he warned, managing a smile as he walked to the bedside drawers on the left side of the bed (as they stood looking at it), which wasn\'t his side. In the top drawer - it chattered slightly as he bent down and opened it - was a collection of elegant looking bottles. He poked around a little and selected three, holding them in his right as he straightened and nudged the drawer closed with his knee.
"This way," he told Jack, now leading him to the far end of the bedroom and out one of the sets of doors. On the balcony out there - under a generous cover that blocked them from being harrassed by sleet or rain unless a very strong wind blew - was a collection of four sun loungers made of a dark,heavy wood with thick, comfortable looking mattresses attached to them. The padding was covered with beige material, rather than water-friendly plastic, which showed that these - despite being beside the lap pool - were designed truly for lounging, not for resting after a swim.
Kerr released Jack\'s hand in order to place the bottles on the glass end table beside the lounger while he adjusted the long, low seat-bed into a perfectly flat position. It was broad and without arms, so that he wouldn\'t be hindered at all. If Jack cared to look at the bottles while he worked, he would see that they were massage oils - apricot kernel, lavender and rosemary.
Mandy had bought them while she lived there and attempted to use them on Kerr to lift him out of his depression about losing Ben. She hadn\'t had the strength to manipulate his muscles terribly much and the supposed effects of each oil were dimmed on undead flesh but the process had been pleasant and they\'d smelt nice. Kerr planned to use them to massage Jack both because he needed the chance to get reacquainted with Ben\'s body and the time a massage would take, to relax and centre himself. Lavender was good for relaxation and it was one of his favourite scents - he planned to use it after the apricot kernel, which was a base oil and good for skin nourishment (again, not so necessary for undead skin), and before the rosemary, an energizing oil (supposedly).
Once the lounger was sorted out, Kerr turned to Jack, rubbing his hands together. The noise of the ocean was greatly magnified out here, due to their position at the top of the cove and the cliffs and when he spoke, he put a little extra effort into it. Ben might have exceptional hearing, but that would only magnify the sound of the crashing waves as well. "Now. I need you to take... your shirt off," he smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed now that he had a definite process ahead of him.
He moved in close and worked his fingers beneath the mesh, doing his best to divest Jack of his upper garments as gently and sexily as he could, leaning down to kiss any parts that were revealed, shimmying against the younger vampire suggestively. He wondered if Jack even knew what was going on.
