The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

Sebastian Ellington-Aragona
Sebastian was, and always would be, little more than a fantasy. The incubus's abilities centered around fulfilling those very lustful desires. He was a fleeting figure focused on satisfying those cravings and tonight, the entirety of his attention fell upon the petite woman that he shared the booth with. That sway of her hips still reverberated within his mind as she made herself comfortable with legs settled across his own. God, that chemistry between them was quite near palpable, bringing to life those old desires for something more than what Sebastian had allowed himself to take. It had been years since he had even held an inkling of that old incessant desire. So many simply paled in comparison with his husband that resisting those urges for sex outside of his relationship had all been easy. Carolina was the first to truly tempt him, even if it was by thought alone. His hand rested on the woman's thigh as he reached for his own glass. His navy gaze remained steadfast upon her as he sipped the liquor in his tumblr. The alcohol was smooth, though hardly worth the price he paid for it and yet, Sebastian hardly cared in the slightest for the drink or the cost. Oh no, he was wholly capable of a soft of single-mindedness when he desired.
He watched as she indulged herself in that drink and yet, Sebastian hardly followed the young woman's lead. After all, if he intended to partake of that blood within her veins, that too consisted of partaking of the alcohol that would soon flow there too. The woman's idle comment of ordering more prompted a soft sound of amusement from the Englishman and yet, he was far more attentive to that touch of wetness on her pink sweetheart lips. The very shape of them was as tempting as ever and yet, tonight, Sebastian had little intention of merely letting that titillating dance continue whilst leaving him once again empty-handed. Tonight, it was the thought of her blood that called to him, the sweet scent of her skin embraced him, and too the sight of her pale flesh as she swept those long locks to the side all but teased him. That utterance of his promise drew his attention from those lustful needs that so clawed at him, even if it was but temporary. Oh no, if she was still game to indulge in that world of what-ifs, Sebastian was willing to come through. He reached out for her, his fingers running down her flesh in a fashion that seemed to produce an immediate reaction within her, that shudder was subtle and yet, to the acute vampire, it was still there.
He reached for that cup, pulling it gently from her fingers to place both of those tumblrs on the table beside them. His movements were hardly rushed in any sense as he leaned forward towards her, providing the woman with every chance to stop him, if she so desired it. His lips pressed softly against her own, the man entirely aware of the beating of her heart pressing that blood through her veins at the very sensation. The soft sound within the back of her throat brought the man a hint of satisfaction that he hadn't known he had desired. Oh, the sounds he could so coax from her lips! And oh how he wanted to! He was aware of her fingertips trailing further up the front of his shirt, the weight of her delicate hand only coaxed the man to pull her closer against his fit figure as her lips pressed against his with a renewed fervor. That hunger it seemed, was one the pair shared well, even if it was not quite for the same outcome. He could feel her lips part ever so slightly, the gentle touch of her tongue saw his own part, permitting the woman access to his own mouth as she deepened that kiss.
He was well aware of that sensation of her tongue dancing across his teeth, flirting dangerously with the tip of those sharpened canines and their far small mirrored bottom fangs. The very touch alone saw the vampire unconsciously cease to breath. That very action was so...human and yet one his vampire body hardly required. It was that very stillness that seemed to overcome him any moment something not within his control came close to those piercing fangs, as if he feared the slightest movement on his own part might knick the flesh and send that blood pouring into his mouth, ultimately undoing any hint of control he still had. If only she knew the danger she toyed with! And yet, though he so deeply desired Carolina, there was a part of his thoughts that tugged so fiercely at him all the same. Dorian adored kisses such as this if only for the control they so gifted the man over the often restrained vampire. His husband would be terribly displeased to know he was sharing those very kisses Dorian loved with another.
That singular thought surely helped to cause the vampire to pull back from her, ever so slightly. He broke that heated kiss only for his lips to press against the corner of hers, following that familiar trail he so often followed along her jawline and up her ear. His hand upon her thigh shifted towards her hip, moving slowly up her figure whilst his lips worked down the tender slope of her neck. "Carolina..." Her name was a soft groan against her skin, his breath warm before his tongue so teasingly slid against that very flesh he so desperately desired. "Let me bite you, it won't hurt, I promise. It will be the best you've felt in a long, long while." That promise was one Sebastian knew he was more than capable of fulfilling. The venom he gifted his victims with was nothing short of a pleasurable high, an addictive sort of substance all in its own right for the sheer ecstasy he could give. All he wanted in return was to taste her.
