He shouldn't have told her to leave. He doesn't know why he told her to leave.
No, that's a lie. He knows why he told her to leave. He told her to leave because all he could see, the second the cat was out of the bag, was Lena in the backseat, waving one of her stuffed toys to the beat of the song she was making up about Pawnee, then Maurice, fucking Maurice, and the gun, and something in him had snapped all over again. The famous Aiden Pearce temper. He'd shoved her away, told her to get out, and she had, and he regrets every second of it. He's seen things in the last two hours that would allow her a world of forgiveness (she tried to trade herself for Nicky, she never took the money, he thinks he's in love with her), if he hadn't already forgiven her, not ten minutes out of the door.
He shouldn't have told her to leave and his shitty knee jerk reaction is going to get her killed.
The Club's coming, now, according to Ray and the Kawasaki he's racing against them on can't go fast enough. He practically throws himself off of it, as the cemetery gates come into view, and it continues on without him, running into a low stone wall, where it falls over. He swerves around it as he heads up the path, pulling a pistol out of its holster, and as he crests the hill, he sees two things immediately. One, he's not entirely too late, as Clara is still standing, alive, her head bowed over Lena's headstone. (She's the one who's been leaving the flowers, fuck.) And two, there's half a dozen armed Club guys weaving through the grave markers from the other side of the cemetery, headed straight for her, so that first one might not be the case for long.
Swearing under his breath, he picks up the pace, and yells, "Clara, down, now!"
He hopes she has enough sense to get down before she looks back at him. One of them needs to do the smart thing, for once.

Yeah, he needs to apologize to her, but what rises up from the sting in his chest, this time, isn't words, it's action. Wheeling his chair up next to hers, the arms of them scraping together, he reaches between them, putting a hand to the side of her face, and then leans to kiss her. He'll retreat, if and when it seems the advance is unwanted, but he doesn't think it will be, and a kiss, he thinks, will explain everything he dumbly still can't find the words for.

It's absolutely wanted, and it has been for a long while.

This way, neither of them will break their necks.

She reaches for the hem of his sweater, next, and under it to his undershirt, aiming to get them both off him.

He's wanted this from the moment he leaned to kiss her, though sex wasn't the plan, per se, but it's obvious now, if the tenor of his mouth on hers wasn't, erection obvious as she reaches the fly of his jeans. He pushes his hips into her hand, eager on another small noise, and works her bra out from between them, made easier by the fact that its strapless, cut low like her shirt. He slips a hand in in its absence, returning the favor, rough, warm fingers tracing over her breast.

Clara undoes his fly and slides her hand into his jeans, under his underwear. Her breath hitches, too, as she catches her breath as his hands touch her. A shiver runs through her as she arches into him just as surely. "Fuck," she swears softly.

The sooner they're both naked, the sooner they get back to it, she figures.
no subject
He smirks at the thought, all but committing to it, takes half a step towards her, to position himself between her legs, and then -- then he stops as something occurs to him. When he swears this time, it's less relief and all frustration. Mostly because, "I don't have a condom on me."
He's almost certain he's clean, sex not really a thought he's had since the accident, before, but he doubts she wants to risk getting pregnant. He sure doesn't want to be someone's father, for all that he thinks he'd probably make a shitty one, and never mind the fact that he's practically raised Jacks and Lena just as surely as Nicky. Fuck. Or not.
no subject
She gets back to her feet, going up on her toes again to put her mouth close to his - though it's not for a kiss, this time, as she whispers, "Be right back."
It only takes her a moment to retrieve one of them, tearing it open as she returns to his room.
no subject
He stops with a heavy breath out, when she comes back, but he doesn't take his hand away. Instead, he just arches his eyebrows, asks, "You know how to put one of those on?" He figures she does; he's trying to goad her into doing it for him, to demonstrate, because he'd much rather she be touching him than him touching himself.

They don't have time for that right now, though. Still, she slides her thumb over the tip of his dick before wrapping her hand around it properly, sliding her hand slowly along his shaft. "Just have to hold it steady..." she teases, attention apparently entirely on his cock.
no subject
Maybe next time, indeed, but right now, he lets his fingers relax, then slides one hand away from her ass, back up over her hip and down, slipping between her legs, seeking wetness to slick his fingers on. Drawing a handful of slow circles over her clit will have to be enough, fair play until he's inside her properly.

"C'mmon," he breathes. The condom's on; come ride the Vigilante, Clara.
