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
There was no denying those whispered words of innuendo as Sebastian agreed that words so often failed to properly express what the body desired. He hardly anticipated the young woman's nearly purposeful wiggle within his lap in response, the very friction it provided prompted a soft sound on the Incubus' lips as she so stirred that ready desire within him. That very arousal she'd caused could most certainly be felt, given the woman's current position upon his lap and his own tendency to forgo those constricting undergarments. Even so, beyond that slight shift of his figure to find a more comfortable position, Sebastian made little effort to act upon those lustful considerations. Those passing fantasies were often all he allowed himself, the vampire all but determined to remain true to that promise he'd made at the altar, even if he sometimes danced the very line of temptation.
It wasn't often the vampire discussed in any great detail the very flavor that touche his tongue as the consumption of blood. It was curious, the way those vampiric instincts so craved the substance, transforming it so that it was no longer metallic icon his taste buds savored but a complex profile of flavors made from the individual's unique DNA, body style, and life experiences. He could taste the liquor or drugs within their blood. He could taste the way their very weight might so alter the amount of cholesterol or sugars. Every single soul had such a unique flavor - the story of their lives so nestled within those cells he so greedily drank. She was certainly no different and yet, that flavor of alcohol overrode all else in the present moment as if her substance was merely an additive to the liquor he consumed. It was that very slurred suggestion that she might one day like to taste him however, that sent his thoughts to far more sexual places. Oh, the places he would have liked her lips, the things he much more would have preferred her to taste! He watched her tongue run salaciously over her lips, the simple action so further tossing his thoughts to those considerations he'd never let come to pass. Frankly, he was thankful for the sudden arrival of those beverages, that distraction surely needed, at least until it prompted ever further shimmying of her hips into his lap - those very things she did to him!
It was, perhaps, those over sensual desires that tugged so fiercely at him that certainly contributed to Sebastian own' coaxing to bring the woman to her home, combined with the impending rising of the sun. The last thing he anticipated, however, was Carolina's subtle implication that she hardly had a home to return to. His fingers reached out to brush across her cheek as he turned her face back up towards him, altogether delicate in his addressing of that sensitive topic. He was almost playful, firstly, as he so teased her with that faux threat of stealing her heart. The Prince's own features twitch into a slight simper to match hers as she insisted it was unlikely he'd ever had to steal a heart before.
A soft sigh left his lips as her fingers rose, caressing the slight stubble upon his jawline. He had contemplated the suggestion of getting her a hotel room, for at least the evening and yet, before such words could even leave his lips, Carolina's gaze turned back towards him with the whispered promise of a place she intended to gain tomorrow. His crystalline gaze shifted towards the watch upon his wrist - a gift from his husband nearly a year prior. It was early enough to be considered tomorrow, wasn't it?
