- beauty in the breakdown

     liam couldn’t help the chuckle that left him as he heard her reply, not even being to imagine what kind of scene she had walked into. “ it’s almost like you think you’ve seen everything, or could imagine all the things that could happen and then once here it’s as if i was exposed to a whole different world. ” liam wasn’t the most wild sexual being and he wasn’t inexperienced or prude in any way, but this island was a completely new beast. he didn’t think it wouldn’t be something that he couldn’t handle, it would just be an adjustment. liam gave his shoulder a shrug, “ i’m rather new so i haven’t been in a situation that has been too out of the ordinary for me, which is comforting in some regard. ” liam was sure as time progressed things would get more intense, but he was thankful things were starting slow. “ i wouldn’t say that it’s a bad thing. it certainly depends on you and what your wants and needs are. so as long as the speed you’re going at works for you ? then that’s what matters. ” a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he noticed the small flush that began to form on the woman’s cheeks. his expression picked up even more hearing the woman’s question, “ i’m free as a bird now that you mention it. ”

‘And where pray tell, are you trying to get to?’ William had entered the hub several moments ago, quite interested in searching for a companion, but also to simply not be alone in this cabin. He liked it there it was really soothing but the knowledge about the hub’s promises was motivating enough to get him out of there. Upon arrival, he noticed that one of the obvious mistresses had slammed a door to a nearby room almost as soon as she opened them and it really did catch his attention. 

“Honestly,” well fuck, did she even honestly know where she was trying to ago aside from someplace quiet?  “I just, don’t you ever feel like peace and quiet, even if only for a moment, would be just what you need?”  Eros was a lot to take in, almost too much to handle, but she hoped by being pushed by being here she’d find herself.  She was sick of living in others shadows, she wanted to be bold and in charge of her own life, and she knew this island would be exactly what could pull her out of the funk she’d been in.  “Sorry, i’m not used to all these men and women falling to my feet the second I enter a room, practically begging to peel me out of my clothes, this is a lot to take in.”

      “i’m taking it you found the orgy?” neve had come across the sight hours previous. she supposed some people here had the energy for it. while she was prone to a threesome or orgy herself, she liked to keep it a more private affair. her arousal depended on secrets, not cheap flaunting. “were they still licking each other all over? that was a sight to see.” her english accent was melodious, but firm in its tone. the mistress had perfected her voice by now - from years of using it in the exact way meant for the island. 

“Oh—then you’re in the right place. As you can see i’ve been picking quite the reading list for myself to pass the time the next few days. For me while this is a sexual paradise it’s also just vacation to me. In my normal life my phone never stops ringing and people never stop asking me to do things” he explained, closing the book he was reading and setting it on the table next to him. “Though I think it could all be sex and fantasies 24/7 if you had the right person to make those fantasies real. I also suppose it depends on how many fantasies that you don’t get to indulge in on the outside world. For some they come here with a laundry list a mile long—-and they can stay quite busy”.

Nora held her hands together in front of her, letting the events of a few minutes before sink in. Since arriving to the center of the hub she had been touched, grasped, and looked over like she was a piece of food. Comments made towards her in suggestive ways. Taking a deep breath she made her way around the room and grasped at a water which she greedily took a drink from. Putting the glass down she wiped away at a drop of water that fell down her chin, looking in the direction of the other woman. “Oh I’m sure, luckily I haven’t decided to explore those rooms yet”.

“You’re lucky, might I suggest knocking first if your curiosities start getting the best of you?”  She laughed a little, still feeling uneasy about what she had just witnessed but she had to get used to that sort of thing,  It’s not like it was going to all be missionary and mundane shit like she was used to back home, this was an island to explore both kinks and fantasies and she’d read the list before arrival, there were so many that she didn’t even know what they were before arrival.  “I’m Sloan, and you are?”  She might as well start making some introductions and getting to know the other people here, “i’m assuming you’re an asset?”  She could be wrong, it wouldn’t be the first time she’d made the wrong assumption, “i’m a mistress, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

      the whole reason for liam’s attendance on this island was so that he could let go of all the stressors and pressures of his day to day life and just find some solace in that lack of control. he wasn’t anti-social by any means, but finding space for himself was also important. but the hub didn’t necessarily lend him much space for that. personally he’d found the library was a good spot where he could achieve that. after spending the beginning of his day up reading in the library he figured it was time to enter what could be the lion’s den of some place more heavily populated. hearing the words from someone close by, liam’s head turned to meet it’s source. “ should i even ask what you’ve found behind some ? ” a small chuckle following.

When he heard the third floor of the hub had a library, he decided he had to check it out and see just what kind of library it was. Whether it was just a stack of books, or whether it truly had a decent collection. He wasn’t as well read these past few years due to how busy he was, but now at eros he could start reading again. He glanced up from the book he was reading when he saw someone appear from the stacks “Hello there, just me up here. if you’re looking for someone i’m afraid they aren’t here”.

sitting in one of the large armchairs in the back of the bar, vic nursed a whiskey and ice after their namesake. tongue came to run over their lower lip as they glanced around. they felt on edge. for all the right reasons. they were hiding. from their country. from the law. from their asset.  right now they just wanted a few drinks. noting someone get close in the crowded bar, vic nodded to the free seat opposite. “by all means go ahead.” they insisted, motioning to the staff for another drink. “what’re you having?”

Hello, hello, i’m FINALLY getting around to posting her bio!  The name is H, short for Heather if we’re getting technical, and this here is my baby Sloan.  Her bio is under the cut and I would LOVE some plots with her to get things started - come hit me up and we can work something out!

Jagger had never been the most outgoing man in the world. Of course he could keep up a conversation once it presented itself to him, though starting one? That was not is forte. Coming to this island was a new start if there ever was one for him, a place full of risks he’d never taken. After leaving his room, Jagger set out for this magical interaction. He was praying he’d stumble upon a familiar face in hopes to make the process easier. As soon as that thought had crossed his mind he noticed just that. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he approached the woman. “Fancy meeting you here,” he started with a slight nervous chuckle, “long time no see.” @sloanramsey

"I swear, I do actually leave the bar at times," having laughed at the fact that there she was sitting at the bar with a glass of wine in hand.  In honesty she wasn't much of a drinker, this glass would be more than enough to tide her over, but at least having a drink made her seem less out of place.  Sloan definitely was not the type to throw herself into situations like this.  "Looking handsome as ever," of course already quite thankful that the male who'd approached her had been her very own asset.  "I didn't scare you away too much last time did I?"  She hadn't seen him for a little while and was afraid she'd come on too strong, or hell maybe not strong enough.  She honestly could never tell in these sort of situations.

“Much better,” she said with a smile at the other mistress. Danielle leaned back to relax, but caught movement out of the corner of her eye and realized the blonde had also dropped her towel from her body. She suppressed a groan. Although the steam and the wood was working to calm her, catching sight of the other’s body was starting to have the opposite effect. She didn’t mind it in the least, though. The blonde woman was very clearly attractive, and Danielle was trying (and failing) not to ogle at her. She didn’t feel guilty at the action though, since she’d also noticed the other mistress glance over her own body. “Not at all, babe,” she answered with a smirk of her own. “I’m glad I could inspire you to do so.”

if bryden did turn heads, he certainly didn’t notice. still, he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. “ thank you, miss.” he said accepting the compliment. his lips curved into a smile. “ coming from you, it means a lot.” she looked like she had stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine. or was made by some artful sculptor. bryden’s gaze followed the woman’s as she asked him about the beach. he shrugged his shoulders. “ I used to swim competitively once upon a time, guess I feel more comfortable here.” he was the best swimmer in the district, and people had murmured he could have gone somewhere. but when his mother got sick he had no choice but to remain and take care of her. now, he was too old. however, he wasn’t angry or bitter he still enjoyed swimming. that was all that mattered. her smile was radiant and it drew bryden in like a mouth to a flame. he extended his hand up to her. “ join me, then? “ he said simply. he would have been utterly stupid to turn down her company. 

The mistress was so blunt and forward and she knew it was wrong to assume but she just didn’t expect it from such a delicate looking face; “Well being an asset if people don’t expect things from me then I feel like I’m not doing my job” maybe she had the wrong definition in mind but she knew that the whole point of assets were to have things expected from them but this Mistress definitely did things differently; “I don’t and shouldn’t expect anything from you. But I would if that is what you wanted from me. I should introduce myself though-… I’m Calliope”

It actually made sense the way the asset had put it, perhaps just wanting company would never be enough as far as the assets were involved.  "I suppose it makes sense," as sad as it was that the assets didn't feel worthy unless if they were getting used in such raunchy manners, "for what it's worth I do find you beautiful."  Of course she'd be more than interested in seeing just what this asset could do, but she wasn't about to demand it so soon after they'd met.  "Pleasure to meet you, Calliope, my name is Sloan, but you may call me Mistress." 

It just felt right since first impressions were the ones that lasted and she didn’t want to be known for someone who did something terrible upon meeting the other; “Thank you. Nervous is not something I am right now. More like awkward as I don’t really know what to do or what you expect of me” not that she was picky but if she had a little more background about what was going on she could have been better prepared but assets were given hardly anything to work with so it was all about selling the illusion; “I would like to think so. If not then you definitely need to get a refund and your monies worth” she chuckled lightly with the other. “Is there anything I can do to get started Mistress?”

"What makes you think I expect ANYTHING of you right now darling?"  She gave the other a soft smile, "nothing more than your company," though of course that could mean so many things but Sloan kept it simple for the both of them.  "Nervous, awkward, they all belong in the same family."  She laughed as she once again pointed to the chair silently telling her to sit, "well isn't your work ethic just ridiculously high around here."  She chuckled as she turned towards the asset.  "You could start by just relaxing, unless you're expecting me to want to smother your face in my thighs already?"  Sloan chuckled, if the asset was THAT eager than so be it, but Sloan wasn't calling her down for sex.

bryden wasn’t used to being ogled at. he felt as though he faded into the surroundings too easily. there was nothing too remarkable about him. he wasn’t even aware that her gaze had been on him for some time now. he just wondered if she needed something from him. he had been told that although he was just a bartender he’d have to cater to guests as much as possible. so far, he liked this gig he didn’t want to do anything to screw it up. her response however made him feel slightly nervous. “ no need to apologize, just not used to the attention I guess, “ he said with a smile, “ thank you, though. if you’d like you can join me. but I’m sure you probably have better things to do. “ beautiful women like her certainly didn’t have time to waste on him.

OPEN

coming to eros was a necessity. bryden’s bank account was slowly depleting and he needed a steady gig. he didn’t know what to make of the island yet and was a little daunted by its premise. after his shift, he decided to unwind by going for a swim. the island was still relatively warm compared to his hometown of london. no pewter gray clouds to shield one against the sun’s rays. he settled into the water of one of the outdoor pools and did a few laps. he was finishing up his fifth or sixth when he noticed someone watching them. bry swam up to the ledge hovering in the water. “ can I help you? “ he asked running a hand through his wet hair.
