Ravage

‘ You don’t see it gleaming in those leaves? ’ Eyes narrow, gaze switching between the lost prize and her companion. ‘Here let me show you.’ Grabbing his hand, she pointed his finger where the fallen blade rested. ‘ There. You see it now? ’      

         What could she say? It was a difficult task to keep her hands off him. A fact that was proven time and time again whenever she found herself around him. The coming week would test though, she thought. Nothing ever turned out just how she wanted it to.

        “I was gonna say fuck your brains out, but ‘consummate’ sounds more … eloquent,” she mused, winking at him. “Yes! A tour. Won’t have to ask where anythin’ is.”

‘ I suppose I can live with that. ’ Couldn’t be any worse than dealing with Alistair on a daily basis. Plus, she wasn’t about to leave without getting recompense for stolen nuggets and fries. ‘ You do make a very good point there, stranger. Those that think otherwise are indeed wrong. What fools they are. ’ Licking the last of the salt from her fingers, she extends her hand towards his. ‘ Deirdre, but everyone calls me Dee. ’ 

Now that gave her true cause to smile. She rose from her seat and decided his lap was a better spot for her to rest upon. It was nice to see his ambition had returned. There was an area Deo had always seemed to lack in. Outside of Vegas, he seemed only to care about the asinine clubs he and his idiot friends had created. Never any real drive to live up to the potential of his bloodline. ‘ We can start here and then expand. You know I’m never one to back down from a challenge. And this is right up my alley. ’ She lifted her glass, clinking it against his. ‘ To world domination then? ’ 

as much as her body wanted to tense, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. he already looked smug enough. the way his gaze roamed over the form of her vessel brought a familiar boiling sensation to her veins. while there were many beings out there that managed to get under astaroth’s skin, none of them seemed to dig as deeply as belial managed to. it was to be expected, he had been around since she was thrown into creation. he must have known each and every way to get on her every nerve.

                                                                     “oh i’m sure.”

disgust bubbled to the surface of her doll-like features, hating the feeling of his energy so close to her own. the prince did her best to keep her feelings at a minimum. again, she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction.

as he stepped closer her hand came to his chest to give him a forceful shove, hopefully aiming to send him down the stairs he had just traversed oh so languidly, but she would settle with just getting him away from her.

                                “i’m afraid i’m not that worried about proving to you who i am.”

whilst his eyes did wander with only an element of lust, primarily he sought to find that slight shift in frustration. he was fully aware of how they saw him, and they should be very aware by this point of how he saw them. they co-existed, without any real love lost between the pair. with the slightly sneer of disgust on her features he cant help but widen his grin and step ever closer, closing the distance to but a few stairs. 

as the shove comes, he ensures his grip on the banister of the staircase tightens. whilst she may have the strength to throw him back - he has more than enough to hold himself in place, leaning into the shove almost to counter himself. 

‘ you know i’m a woman of taste. ’ she makes herself comfortable, taking another sip of the liquid and stretching out her limbs. ‘ oh you know, just thought i’d drop by and say hello. i can be thoughtful from time to time. just kidding. word on the street’s that deo took a one way ticket to purgatory, leaving it open for the taking. and while i could easily seize it all for myself, i thought why not share the glory. ’

‘ hope you don’t mind. i helped myself to some champagne while you were out. come, have a seat. it’s been some time. let’s talk, catch up. maybe talk about our future together. ’ 

          At his inquiry, the dragon unzipped her jacket pocket and pulled out her phone. Checking the AOD, she quickly put the phone back in its place. “It’s 4:15 in the afternoon,” she answered ; now thinking about what she was going to do for dinner. And if Famine was going to be at the house.

‘ Eighteen and then we’ll talk. ’ His smirk is returned with a coy grin of her own once she’s polished off the last of her nuggets. ‘ Oh. ’ Well now this changed things. She pulls herself to her feet, wiping the grease off her hands and onto the front of her jeans. ‘ Two sides and fifteen percent? You’ve got yourself a deal, mister. It seems the two of us are going to get to know each other real well. In the words of the immortal high school musical, this could be the start of something new. ’ 

She can tell she’s close. Nose to the ground, she moves slowly until she sees the glint of metal beneath the fall of leaves just beyond the slight drop of the landscape. ‘ There, ’ she shouts, turning without realizing that he’d been right behind her.
