I remember well the tingling feeling of her leg rubbing against my own at the dinner table. I know it wasn't an accident either. She certainly knows how to play this game and I'm digging it. I know she's not the kind to leap first first though. She'll want me to make that first move so she can feel the heat of the chase and I dont blame her. I can give her that. "I bet you do." I say with a teasing wink when she tells me that she likes to get what she wants. I love our flirty banter. She assures me that she has all the drinks I can imagine at home and I smirk. "All I need is a good bottle of whiskey to get me going, or tequila if the mood strikes me." My eyes twinkle with mischief. I can't help my curiosity though. "How much does a vampire actually drink, if you don't mind me asking? I mean, can you even feel the effects of alcohol?" I walk her out to the car and lets me walk around to inspect my baby. Apparently she's getting better at relating to how I am with my car. At her question of how the valet did, I look up thoughtfully. "Well, no new scratches so I'll give him a pass." I offer a smile, trying to be a little less stingy for her sake. I watch her hand him money with a small scowl but I know it'll do no good to argue. The drive back to her place does seem like a long time but I don't go easy on the gas pedal as always. It's a help that she's immortal, not that I'm trying to endanger us or anything. I've had plenty of lifetimes of driving to know how to steer this thing at all speeds. Once we get there, she waits patiently for me to open her door and I appreciate that, giving her a knowing smirk as I hold out my hand to help her out of the car. She presses close to me as we walk to the door. I feel my body tingling with anticipation of what's to come. I listen as she tells the staff to take the night off, pretending to be studying the bottles at the bar already. As she starts to take her heels off, I can't help but watch, wanting to study the full length of her gorgeous legs. She walks behind the bar, asking what I'll have and my eyes darken a little at her question. "Besides the obvious? I'll have whatever you're having." I look her up and down, letting her know just what the obvious is. I wait for her to fill her glass, patiently letting her fill mine because I know she's going to want to. I take a sip before walking around the other side of the bar. I set my drink down and look at her. "You know, I had this whole romantic speech cooked up for how this was going to go. I was going to put every other man to shame with my charm and charisma but now that we're here and you're all de-heeled and sexy as ever...I just don't think I can do it justice. We both know the drinks will only delay the inevitable. I may be a fairy but I'm a well educated one and I damn well know how to read. So you know what? Fuck it." I move one hand to grab her drink, slowly placing it on the bar as my other hand tangles in her hair, pulling her face to mine as my lips meld with hers in a passionate lover's kiss. My hand moves to her waist, fingers gently caressing her side through the dress as I pull her in closer. I let her ease into it before my tongue asks for entry, wanting to explore her mouth the way my hands are itching to explore the rest of her. I can feel th absence of heat through her dress but in this moment, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that I can warm her up in more ways than one and I aim to do just that. |
