               nimble fingertips are placed against the small of his lovers back , while the other hand is apprehensively placed at his side ; trousers hugging his torso just perfectly while the tie that hung loose around his neck seemed to be getting tighter as the minutes passed , becoming more uncomfortable in his skin . how did he seem to get in these bearings ? chipper beloved had approached his past life ; one that stained his thoughts and his heart for centuries to come , one that he had laid to rest five years ago and never looked back . not even doing a google search , the slight facebook search to check how his past love had been doing after his sudden withdrawal from her life story . and now he had come face to face with the beauty that graced his days , time doing nothing but a favor to her ethereal duty .  ❝   marina .. this is nadia , she was a good friend of mine in school . --- nadia , this is my um .. wife .  ❞   struggling to choke out the last word , apprised of the backlash he could face from confessing his relations , and also belittling her to just a friend . wife’s hands will wander all across his chest while he’s bringing the champagne glass to his lips , chugging the toxins within a matter of seconds while small conversations will arise with his social butterfly spouse . his goggling will seize to exist on the humans chatting amongst themselves , now focused on the raven haired female that was sure to be giving him a few choice words inside of her brain ; and he was sure to have a lot of explaining to do if they got they chance for a few minutes alone . 

          so  far  …  everything  was  going  according  to  plan.  both  minji  and  nicolas’  exes  present  at  the  party,  just  as  she  had  covertly  organized  them  to  be,  and  the  former  had  made  sure  to  pick  out  a  precise  location  within  the  house  where  the  joined  pair  could  be  watched  by  both.  where  was  that  exactly  ?  sat  together  on  a  living  room  couch  while  one  ex  mixed  drinks  in  the  kitchen  and  the  other  could  be  seen  mingling  in  a  hall.  who  knew  how  far  they  planned  to  take  it  …  the  envious  gaze  they’d  acquired  on  them  was  simply  too  addicting.  perhaps  minji  was  far  more  into  the  idea  of  provoking  jealousy  from  their  ‘  past    lovers  ’  than  nicolas  was  —  it  was  her  proposal  after  all.  but  she  had  the  utmost  faith  he’d  agree  to  join  her  side  in  the  end.  no  doubts  otherwise  when  she  did  such  a  fine  job  of  convincing  him  how  well  the  both  of  them  could  benefit  from  it.  “  just  make  it  look  like  you  can’t  keep  your  hands  off  of  me,  okay  ?  he’s  super  possessive  …  it’ll  drive  him  insane.  ”  such  words  drew  out  so  nonchalantly  with  a  devious  smirk  to  punctuate  them.  if  fellow  attenders  were  any  closer,  surely  they’d  think  she  was  nothing  short  of  crazy.  a  manicured  palm  comes  up  to  rest  carefully  on  the  other’s  shoulder  before  running  itself  down  his  arm.  her  head  tilts  to  the  side  and  she’s  offering  him  her  most  fervent  and  inviting  gaze.  one  that  she  knew  the  man  across  the  room  couldn’t  miss.  slowly,  she  leans  in,  cherry  stained  lips  only  mere  inches  away  from  her  current  counterpart’s  ear.  “  and  don’t  make  it  so  obvious  either.  try  not  to  look  at  her  if  you  can  help  it  …  just  keep  your  eyes  on  me.  ”

          last hour had been spent with the sound of an action thriller on the tv setting , and nothing else . words hadn’t been uttered between the two since the start of their weekly secret rendezvous , which only prompted the prince to scroll through feeds and stupid news articles about the latest scandals around the world , briefly paying attention to the movie but he was sure his counterpart was lost in a daze .. mind somewhere else that wasn’t even in this milky way . film credits will roll on the screen while a displeased sigh will huff from between his petals , cellular device dropping onto the mattress beside him as he’ll shift to lay on elbow , arm wrapping around luca in a calming manner while lips will begin to pepper slight kisses across his shoulder ;  ❝   watching that was useless considering none of us really watched it . what’s going on ? you’ve been quiet this whole time and it’s pissing me off . we barely get time together as it is and you’re gonna give me the silent treatment the whole time ? can’t even get a single kiss .  ❞  and it was truthful , the pair had to adjust their schedules to have confidential sneakaways considering he was an heir and the other wanted nothing to do with his aristocracy . was the other tired of the having to be quiet , the sorrowful whispers and the hiding under hoodies when leaving the mansion ? wren will rise from the bed as his grasp on the other will fade , disheveled hair falling within his beautifully carved features . 

I recently got some print designs to play with. I couldn't resist this sweet little vine pattern. Handmade in pure silver, wrapped with a small pale faceted amethyst stone. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1387771276/garden-vines

          “ my  mind  is  a  dark  place.  you  don’t  want  to  be  there. ”

      ❝  what are you doing here ? you know the rules . not supposed to be here after hours ; or even attempt it . i’m closing down the place , which means you have to go as soon as it’s locked .   ❞  she’ll jangle the keys from perspiring palm to the other , umber hues locked on the other as feet will patter along the flooring to lock the door to her empire . the femme had noticed the countless stares throughout the day , light touches on knuckles , and the occasional flirting whenever a run was due and she had congratulated the other on their achievement .  was she going to pay any mind to it ? absolutely not . a handsome face and hard work wouldn’t be a fine way to turn her head so soon .
