Rodessa: Hue, you’re being mean today.
Huxian: *Smirk* Am I? I hadn’t noticed.
Rodessa: *Pout* Humph!
*Giving her only a near mysterious smile in response, he bucked his hips, leading them in his rhythm and whatever annoyance or grievances the girl had seemed to flee her mind with every giration. He hummed, guiding the girl’s hands to explore him in return, kissing her teasingly all the while.*
Huxian: *Between kisses* We’ll keep going to you’re used to it again.
*Barely clinging to reason, Rodessa could only nod, but even that was swept away by a shuddering gasp as Huxian’s skilled fingers dragged over her skin, lighting fires in their wake. She clung to him, pressing against him. When had she managed to pull the clothing from him? Had he used a spell? Had they removed it piece by piece? Had she torn it off, she couldn’t recall, only that their skin brushing against each other, his warmth bleeding into hers as they pressed closer only made her want that bit more, her own hands, slowly learning what to at his instruction beginning to explore him back just as eagerly, wanting him to gasp and groan and shudder in return, to feel the same hot desire run through his veins as she did.
Neither paid any attention to time, just continuing to explore each other until the girl was spent and she cuddled close into his arms, her head on his chest, dozing to the sound of his heartbeat. Cradling the half asleep girl in his arms, Huxian leaned back into the bed, content with his work at remarking his mate. Absently, he tilted his head to where a clock at on the bedside table. It was still a few hours before evening meal, giving them time to rest before the had to move*
Rodessa: *Soft Howl Sleep Talking* Feral beast, perverted fox, way too much stamina… hips hurt… *Grumble, Grumble* Zzzzzz.
Huxian: *Soft laugh* But weren’t you the one who begged for more? The blame is with you, too, my sleeping princess.
*He kissed her lips softly, setting an alarm before tucking them both in.*
Huxian: But it's fine. I intend to spoil you rotten, my lady.
*Rather than spending the time until evening meal sleeping, Huxian instead merely watched the girl cradled against him, absently running his fingers through her hair and letting his mind drift to various ideas and plans that he had for his love over their ‘suspension’ time and beyond. However, his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his phone. Quickly, if only to stop Rodessa’s rest being disturbed, he answered it, pushing aside his annoyance with practiced ease*
Huxian: *Monotone* What is it? ….I see. Is everyone out of the vicinity? ...OK, then do it. ...Mm hm...Alright. I’ll see you in two days.
*Beside him, Huxian could feel Rodessa stirring ever so slightly. Hanging up the phone, he carefully stroked his hand over her hair and back, the warm touch easing her back into sleep once again - only to be interrupted once more. This time by a knock on the door*
SFX: *Gentle knocking*
Huxian [Inner thought]: What now?
Huxian: Who’s there?
Staff Member: Sir, it’s almost time for dinner. Will you be joining or would you like to-?
Huxian: No. We’ll be there soon.
Staff member: At your usual table, or a more romantic setting for your lady friend?
*For a moment, Huxian looked down at the girl in his arms, still clinging to his chest. A fond smile flickering on his face as he trailed his fingers over her locks before answering the staff member*
Huxian: *Soft chuckle* Surprise me. Though whatever you choose, I’ll expect your finest.
Sfx: *Snapping fingers*
Huxian: Our order. Please take it to the kitchen. We’ll be there in an an hour and so.
Staff member: Sir.
*Once the sound of the staff member moving from the door had faded, Huxian wondered if there would be any more interruptions. Thankfully, there was no more distractions, allowing Huxian to relax once again, content, while Rodessa continued to snuggle against him. Finally, the time came. With a click of his fingers to turn off his alarm, Huxian turned his attention to Rodessa, this time to wake her with soft kisses. Slowly, the girl stirred, a pout on her lips as her eyes fluttered open*
Rodessa: *Cute sleepy tone* Hue...not getting up…. What time is it?
Huxian: Almost eight. Aren't you hungry?
Rodessa: *Cute Sleepy Tone* ….No… lemme sleep, Hue... Let’s just-
*A loud growl cut off the girl’s words. Rodessa went utterly limp, before rolling over in the covers, though whether out of mortification or irritation was anyone’s guess. Whatever the reason, Huxian had to cover his lips to prevent the bubble of laughter from breaking free*
Huxian: *Snickering* Sure you’re not hungry?
Rodessa: That’s it. I’m getting a new stomach….
Huxian: *Sultry* Come on, now. Let’s get ready. I even bought you a new dress earlier,
*Pointing to the vanity*
Huxian: *Puring* Put it on for me, would you, love? I want to show you off.
Rodessa: *Deep blush* EEP!
*As if electrocuted, the girl shot out of bed, reaching the vanity in moments where an ornately wrapped parcel lay in wait. With careful fingers, Rodessa unwrapped the package, holding up a form fitting black dress decorated with fine soft lace*
Rodessa: *Awe* It’s beautiful!
*Smile quirking his lips at her reaction, Huxian slipped from the bed and padded to her, pressing against her nude form. Elegantly, he swept the girl’s hair over her shoulder before pressing his lips, softly, slowly, at the sweet spot at the back of her neck, feeling her body shiver as he did so, hypersensitive to his presence. Huskilly, Huxian whispered to her, lips still against her skin*
Huxian: *Low Voice* Put it on for me?
*Out of embarrassment, or maybe even simply unprepared for the sensations, the girl jumped back, pushing the man away from her, face near crimson.*
Rodessa: I-I’ll get ready! J-just get ready yourself and g-give a girl some space!
Huxian: *Dark Smile* As you wish, my lady.
*With a coy smile over his shoulder, Huxian sauntered back to the bed, sweeping his silken hair back into its tie once more with practiced ease. A little relieved - it would certainly be hard to change when the air felt so...charged - Rodessa began to get dressed. However, even as she did so, she still felt nervous, but why? Swallowing, she looked over her shoulder. She could see him, his raptor-like eyes watching her every move, like a predator waiting, ready to pounce.
It made her remember her father’s words, even as her face burned from the attention*
Engetsu: A man who buys clothes for a woman wants to undress her.
*After everything, she honestly didn’t have the strength - damn that man’s stamina! - to give him a show, so she hastily finished dressing and fixed herself up. Almost shyly as she was doing her hair, she peaked over at Huxian once more. He, too, was dressed, though rather than the casual clothing he had previously worn on their sightseeing, he now wore a fine suit. Seeing her ready, Huxian approached once more, eying her form both in and out of the mirror. Finally, he nodded, as if coming to a decision and snapped his fingers, switching the girl’s accessories into something finer, more expensive in appearance.*
Huxian: Beautiful... Now, my lady, shall we?
*Gentlemanly, Huxian took her hand, raising it to his lips before looking up at her once again, meeting her adoring gaze. His suave smile faltered a little, as if something had made his heart stutter for a moment*
Huxian: Please, love...don’t look at me like that. Otherwise, I’ll lose what little self restraint I have left.
Rodessa: W-what? It w-was not my intention!!
*Shaking his head, Huxian just smiled as he entwined her fingers in his*
Huxian: Don’t worry about it. Anyway, it’s this way.
*Huxian lead the girl from the room and through the corridor into a grand dining room. As soon as they stepped inside, Rodessa could hear some of the female staff squeal. Moments later, the same staff member that had tried to flirt with the oblivious Huxian earlier that day appeared in front of them*
Female staff member: *Subtly flirty tone* Good evening, my lord. I hope you enjoy your meal this evening. If there happens to be anything else you need, I’ll be...quite happy... to personally assist you.
*Not at all missing the undertones, Huxian’s eyes narrowed slightly. However, he forced a polite smile, though it lacked the warmth it usually did*
Huxian: I thank you for the offer. However, that won’t be necessary-
*Now wanting to hear the talk further, Rodessa pulled away from Huxian, leaving for the bar. He could come get her one they were done with their...talk. The staff member seemed somewhat oblivious to the girl’s presence nor parting, but even she couldn’t miss Huxian’s expression*
Female staff member: Ah...my lord? you seem de-
Huxian: *Quiet rage* Silence.
Female staff member: B-but my lord…
Huxian: If I require anything, I will request it myself. I assure you, I do not need any of the assistance you’re offering from you or the rest of the staff. I do, however, strongly suggest that one is careful about what one offers, otherwise the only offer I will have in return is the offer to have your work contract terminated. Are we clear, Madam?
Female staff member: Yes sir.
*That said, Huxian strode away, leaving the woman behind, whatever good mood he had previously been in soured, already knowing how that interaction must have seemed to Rodessa. Running a hand through his hair with a sigh, he slowly approached before any more staff or other guests could start up a conversation*
Huxian: My Lady?
Rodessa: *Annoyed, Sarcastic* Oh. Are you done talking to that pretty little thing?
Huxian: *Monotone* If that is what you can call that….yes. I have our table ready too.
Rodessa: Fine.
*Yes, as he thought, Rodessa’s mood had fouled as well. This truly wasn’t what he had planned for the night and there was no way that she would enjoy it in her current mood. Well...no plan survives contact with the enemy, as the saying went. However, Huxian could adapt. Snapping his fingers once more, an engagement ring appeared in his hand - specifically, the one he had given to Rodessa - she had left it back home during the training, much to Huxian’s unspoken annoyance. Carefully, he took her hand, slipping the ring back into its perfect place once more. Rodessa stilled, her eyes widening at the gesture, raising back to meet his as he motioned for her to stand.
Further away, the female staff member’s eyes darkened with envy. However, along with the words from before, painted a message quite clearly, not only to her, but to everyone within the hall, just as intended.
Smiling, he offered his hand once again*
Huxian: Now, my love, shall we eat? The Entrées should be arriving any moment.
*Mood thoroughly lifted, the girl smiled sweetly at him, taking the offered hand as he lead her away from the main hall and into a private room. She almost didn’t catch the female staff member’s hushed comment*
Female staff member: *Snootily* That slutty, filthy half breed doesn't suit the Lord. I wonder what she did to land in his bed? I bet she’s just some harltet that after his money.
*Rolling her eyes, Rodessa turned on her heels, surprising her lover, elegantly walking towards the staff member and snatched up her chin, ignoring the woman’s squawk, staring into her eyes as if her gaze could pierce to her very soul*
Rodessa: *Eye glow flickering* A ‘filthy half breed’, am I? Oh dear, I suggest you do some research before insulting the next head of the Ashu-Wahari. If I hear another peep out of your disgusting, filthy beak, gods help me, they won’t find enough pieces to identify your cold, dead, corpse.
Huxian: *Smirk, flippantly* …..Oh dear. What a shame…Should I prepare the obituaries now?
Rodessa: *Dominant eyes* And to call me - me! - a harlet. Oh dear, you know what they say about assuming? But I find it funny, since my fiance and I arrived, tell me, who was the one throwing herself at a taken man? Not me, oh no… Doesn't reflect well on yourself, now does it. So I suggest you check yourself, little miss, before you find yourself on the wrong end of my blade. Understood?
Female staff member: ….
*There was a crowd beginning to form, either alarmed or amazed by the skeptical, though all entertained. Quickly, the hotel manager took the staff girl away, apologizing all the while, though Huxian had the distinct feeling that the woman would have far more misfortune coming her way even if she miraculously managed to keep her job after such a performance. Unable to stop the proud smirk from crossing his lips - not to mention that seeing her act in such a way was a huge turn on in general - Huxian lead her into the private room, pulling up a seat for the girl*
Huxian: *Soft chuckle* Finally stood up for your man, Roza?
Rodessa: I don’t like people pining after what is mine, is all. Now - oh! This looks good.
*Taking his own seat, Huxian leaned back to allow a server to pour them both a glass of wine. Taking the glass, Rodessa peered into the tea-coloured beverage. Looking at it, the candle light glinting off it’s surface...It’s shade reminded her of his eyes*
Rodessa: H-hue, I don't know how to drink… yet.
*A hint of devilishness curled at the corners of his lips as he swirled his own glass, eyes half lidded as he gazed at her*
Huxian: I know. Still, today is your drinking debut. Think of it as...a reward, for your bravery, My valiant lady knight.
*A blush staining her cheeks, the girl quickly avoided his piercing gaze, instead turning her attention to the window and its sceen beyond. It was truly beautiful. Though she enjoyed the view, she was hyper aware as Huxian stood from his seat and sauntered to her side*
Huxian: *Sultry, commanding tone* Roza, look at me.
*Almost as if hypnotised, Rodessa found herself following the instruction, watching as Huxian took a long draught from her glass before leaning against the arm of her chair, tilting her head up before capturing her lips in a deep kiss. The crisp taste of wine burned as she could herself drinking it from him, her body feeling hot, tingling. Was it the liquor that was the cause, or…?
She was almost dazed as Huxian ended the kiss once she had drained the last drop from his mouth*
Rodessa: I… I think I could get drunk of this…
Huxian: Please do.
