A black tie adventure with
doesntsing
For a man whose perfect day involves hiking out into the wilderness alone to track a rare animal, an evening at a fancy party is not something to look forward to. The only consolation is in having good company to share it with. Making sure his friend has a good time is a much better goal than schmoozing the other guests.
After going through the ordeal of renting a tuxedo, and a car, he's around to pick Miriam up at the address she provided. Muldoon is uncomfortable in the unfamiliar clothing, and apprehensive about surviving an upper class dinner, but at least he knows he'll be in some good company. Worst comes to worst, Miriam will have some extra material to work with for her shows.
Ringing the doorbell, Muldoon tries not to look as awkward as he feels.

Her own suggestion has Muldoon's brow furrowing for a moment as he tries to recall where he's heard that name from. It takes him a second for the recognition to sink in and he's surprised all over again.
"Aren't they the mountains near here?" He raises a curious eyebrow. "You like going to the mountains?"
no subject
The only thing he seems to pick up on in her tone is the mountains, and not her sexual innuendo, and honestly it makes Midge smile wryly. “My family goes to a camp in the Catskills every summer,” Midge tells him. “As long as I’m camping in a cabin, it’s enjoyable.”
There’s a resort vibe to the camp she and her family go to. It’s not roughing it. Tent camping doesn’t really hold any appeal for her.
no subject
"Camping in a cabin isn't really camping, you know," he teases. "But I won't lie, I'm impressed you like to go out every summer. That's commitment."
no subject
“Do you mean because there’s a salon on the camp grounds?” She asks with faux innocence. “There’s swimming and boating and tennis and archery, things like that. It’s nice to get out of the hot city for a while in the summer.”
no subject
"There isn't," he says in disbelief. The more she talks the more he smiles, until he's trying to cover the grin with his hand. It's the least camp-like camping he's ever heard about.
After a second all he can think to do is clarify, "And this is for adults?"
no subject
“What’s so funny?” she asks playfully. If describing her summer camp is what gets him to laugh, she’s going to feel disappointed in her abilities as a comedian. “It’s for adults and kids. It’s leisure in the woods, okay?”
She rolls her eyes and sips her whiskey. “Not all of us are rugged outdoorsmen who have punched wildlife.”
Midge isn’t offended. She’s sure her camp is practically civilization compared to what Robert is used to.
no subject
It is becoming difficult for him not to smile.
"You're really stuck on that, aren't you? I've done that maybe twice in my life. I don't recommend it." Taking another sip he concedes, "But then again, I don't think you'd be excited by my idea of camping either. It's usually the lack of a mattress that gets people. There's definitely not been a salon anywhere I've ever camped."
no subject
If he needs it spelled out for him, then she can do that.
Sleeping on the hard ground isn’t really her idea of a good time. It’s something she’s done after a night of drinking a few times in her life.
no subject
"Careful," he warns, voice low. "Talking like that will give me notions."
He'll hide behind his whiskey glass as he takes a sip, watching her carefully.
no subject
They have such little time. Obviously, Midge will not push him to take advantage of it if he doesn’t want to, but she wants him to know where she stands.
She leans against her arm propped up on the table and gazes at him.
“Is there something else I should do to show you that I’m attracted to you?”
no subject
So he debates between politeness and bluntness and makes a go at something between the two. "I want to invite you back to my hotel room. Would that be alright?"
no subject
In case that isn’t direct enough, Midge leans back against the booth, her body pressed to Robert’s side. “Yes. I’d like that.”
no subject
That answer, perfect as it is, earns her a slow, deep kiss. Then he downs the last of his drink and slides out of the booth so that he can offer her a hand.
no subject
She’s nervous now. It’s nothing to do with him, only the typical jitters that a first time can bring. What if she does or says something silly or he doesn’t find her body attractive?
no subject
Instead he's focused on, as they said earlier, making the most of the time they have. As soon as the door is closed, he cups her face in his hands and kisses her. Deep, careful kisses as he walks her backwards to push her against a wall so that she doesn't have to worry about keeping her balance as they get to know each other better.
no subject
no subject
Soon enough he's pulling off his jacket and getting it off and away, littering the rest exceptionally neat room. An effort which he has to pause after to kiss Midge all over again.
no subject
Once his jacket is off and he returns to her, their kisses turn hot and desperate. Midge doesn’t care if she’s messing up her lipstick, though her cosmetics are high end. They tend to stay in place. Without removing her mouth from his, Midge paws at his bow tie, digging at the knot blindly until shes able to get it undone and pulls it off.
no subject
Then, without warning, he scoops her up so that he can continue kissing her as he brings her over to the bed. When he sets her down, his hands move along her body, seeking out how to get that lovely dress off of her.
no subject
“It’s in the back.” Midge rolls onto her side so that Robert can find it and pull it down. “There’s a corset sewn into the dress, so you’ll need to unhook that too.”
Once he gets the zipper down her back, he should see the black mesh-like fabric held together with eye hooks. Hopefully he knows how to undo those. It’ll be practice for undoing her bra soon afterwards.
no subject
Maybe it's been a while, but he doesn't remember undressing women being as involved as disassembling a gun. He's going to do his best to continue trying to keep things sexy. It helps that his touch is firm, not wavering, and he has an excellent poker face.
If none of that works, he can hope that his slow, deep kisses can distract her until he gets the last hook loose.
no subject
Midge returns the kiss while he works. When she feels that he’s unhooked the dress completely, she pulls back and sits up. She takes her arms out of the dress and lets it fall to her waist, then puts her feet on the floor. Standing up, she takes the dress off fully, stepping out of it. She lays it carefully over a chair. As mentioned, it’s a Dior. Midge would prefer that nothing happen to it.
She’s less concerned about the underwear that she’s left in, white lace bra and panties with a matching garter belt and nude colored stockings. More things for Robert to undo, but if he’s rough with these, she won’t be that upset. Midge takes a moment to slip off her heels, then rejoins him on the bed.
“You’re overdressed.”
no subject
It takes a second for him to stop admiring her when she speaks.
"I needed the head start," he insists with a smile.
The shoes are quickly dealt with first, to tuck them neatly to one side. He can, at least kiss her while he takes off his shirt, half folds it and tosses it onto a nearby chair. His chest is one of dark, soft hair which trails down his stomach, interrupted by scars here and there, mostly of the mauling or biting variety. It's a miracle he managed to keep most of them in places easily hidden by his uniform.
All of this is forgotten by the warden who is far more concerned with pulling Midge close to kiss her, and to let his hands roam across her soft skin.
no subject
Then he’s half naked and she’s wondering about other things.
Her eyes scan over his chest, marking the scars, but also the definition of the muscles in his arms and his chest. Her fingers tangle in his chest hair as she kisses him. Yes, she likes what she sees.
“Very masculine,” she murmurs. “You even smell masculine.” Midge buries her face in the crook of his neck, breathing in his aftershave and kissing the stubble there.
Feminist though she may be, Midge can appreciate a man who has masculine qualities and is a true gentleman as well.
no subject
Being someone who lives and works primarily around men who need to stay fit for work, it seems a little strange for Midge to be fixated on his masculinity. But then, this is the city, and it wouldn't be the first time a city woman has enjoyed the difference between him and the average city man.
All of these thoughts are fleeting compared to the focus on the here and now. Muldoon rolls them over so that Midge is laying down and he has free rein to let his hands explore her all over again. He'll get to removing her remaining clothing, but he's doing his best not to rush things. Although that may become difficult as his hands move over his bra and he immediately wishes it wasn't there. He's getting the hang of this now, though, and he slips a hand underneath her back to deal with the offending piece of clothing.
