(Arowyn)

?

The minute she felt the warms of his hands upon her heavy cold breast, she was lost. Lost to the feelings he gave her. Lost to the attention. Lost the the need.

?

She had always been attacked to Callum. Ever since the first time she saw him. When he’d come to her father’s home to court Kirstene.

?

He had cut a fine figure. His rich dark hair that she longed to run her fingers through. His bright blue eyes that dance between mirth and mischief. His full kissable lips. His Strong shoulders, back and hands. His smile….

?

There was something about him that could boy be denied, an arrogance, a confidence, a swagger.

?

She had wanted him then.?Longed for his attention. needed to feel the strength of his hand holding her breast. To feel his full lips kissing over ever inch of skin on her body. To feel the weight of his sinful body pinning her down…his strong cock pressing deeper into her core.

?

And now…here they were…

?

Arowyn moaned at his hands on her breast, her own hands fumbled quickly, pushing the laces away. Shoving his trousers down. She needed this…they needed this.

?

(Callum)

?

Callum responded in kind, tugging at the laces of Arowyn's bodice, then pulling it open to free her breasts.? He fell upon them hungrily, licking and suckling them for a long moment even as his hands moved down to pull up her skirt.? He moved upward, abandoning her succulent breasts to mouth her neck and then lips, pushing her legs apart with his knees.? His face flushed with passion, his breathing grew ragged.? Part of him was ashamed at what he was doing, but he brushed that part aside, consumed fully now by his desire and his need.? He shivered as his urgent maleness brushed roughly against the smooth flesh of? Arowyn's thigh, desperately seeking to sheath itself within her but probing blindly, hampered by the awkwardness of their position and of their still half-clothed state.? Growling with frustration, he pulled at the interfering garments, removing this boots and then kicking his trousers down and.? And then returning to where Arowyn's open arms - and legs - called to him, the heat of her drawing him down, down...

[Kites]

?

?"I think I already know the answer," Kites murmured as he let himself be drawn in the androgyne's embrace.? Their mouths collided with force.? Lips smacking, teeth knocking, tongues lashing as they simply set about devouring each other.? Every touch that he received from his lover electrified him, causing the hairs on his arms to stand on end and set his skin on fire, flushing his whole entire body with a deep, pink hue.? His chest expanded as he inhaled Gen's scent, a cocktail of peaches and something else?that made his mind heady, making him get drunker and drunker, and dizzier and dizzier the more he was around Gen.? His sunk his hands into Gen's waist, his thumbs rolling lazy circles on the androgyne's hips, grinding their bodies together as he moaned out, pulling back for just a moment to catch his breath.

?

"What is is about you that makes me so crazy for you, Gen?" Kites asked, his heart beating like a machine gun.? He placed their foreheads together, willing himself to bring some semblance of control before he completely lost it.? And he was very close to it, already toeing that line of no return.? His pants felt incredibly tight, as were Gen's if his erection was of any indication, his lover's legs locking him in and not letting go.? The androgyne knew just what effect he had on the winged youth, dragging his hands through Kites's downy feathers that lined his back and surrounded his wings, causing the other to shudder in response.? "Did I tell you how dangerous that is?? If you continue touching my wings like that then I'll be forced to devour you head to toe."? Corny?? Maybe.? Did he care?? Absolutely not.

(Brandon)

?

He moved upstairs apparently he was in a hurry, he was only going upstairs and he moved through the common room, Brandon was already in a mood, his eyes took in everything within the room. He spotted Kites and Gen, the displeasure etched on his face if they could both see his face, which told that he?was?not in the mood.? "Can you two get a room?? You each have one, this is not the place for that...Choose one!"? He was realizing why his sister thought he was like that...was he truly that thirsty?'? Anyway he kept moving up to Macamber's office.? He had been summoned back for a reason, but was he even ready to come back?? Did it matter ready or not he had to be here, he had to close himself off and focus on the tasks at hand.? He moved into the office as he looked at Macamber.? "Yes?!?"? He asked, sounding more assured and in control than he truly felt right now, with every moment his world was crashing one more domino at a time.? He showed no real motion, it would have been a good indication to his family that something was wrong these people didn't realize it.? It didn't matter.? 'Here and now, nothing more!'? He pondered.

?

(Macamber)

?

"Welcome back, Bra--" Macamber stopped, took a deep breath, and then started again.? "Welcome back, Mister Chord.? I'll have to get used to calling you that now, won't I? It sounds strange, having to say that to anyone but your father."? She gestured to the chair in front of her desk.? "Thank you for coming so quickly.? Please sit down."

?

The head of security slid a document towards Brandon and left it where he could take it.? "This is your father's will, the one he left in the secure safe in his office.? There are actually other parts to it, but they're mostly technical details laying out the exact extent of his estate.? This page, however..." she nodded to the document she'd passed to him "...is the only one that matters.? It's short and to the point.? It names you as his sole heir and put you in control of... well, everything."? Leaning back in her chair, she gave Brandon an appraising look.? "It seems I work for you now."

?

[Gen]

?

Brandon's abrupt appearance in the common room startled Gen and Kites, but fortunately he didn't stop, just vented his annoyance and then went on out into the hall.

?

The androgyne blinked, watching the man as he left, then looked back at Kites.? Suddenly he choked, as if suppressing a giggle, his eyes lighting up. A moment later he was just laughing openly, his eyes bright with mischief.? "Well, you heard the man!"

?

At Kites' puzzled look, Gen said cheerily "Brandon's the group leader, right?? And we're supposed to do what he says, right?"? Disentangling himself from the winged youth, he hopped off the edge of the table.? "He just told us that this is not the place for that and to get a room." he grabbed Kites' hand and began pulling him along.? "So let's go!"? He glanced back at the other boy with a smirk.? "Your room's closer.? And I am _not_ gonna take a chance on anyone else coming along and telling us to stop!"??

Mikayla?

?

This Would have been happy…estactic even at the fact that The Dragon was giving her cartbanche to make the change she knew she could to potential turn the glum sadness of this place around. But The Dragon grumbly said his piece then left just as quickly as he arrived. He didn’t even say he would help.

?

“He didn’t even stay for tea.” She whispered softly. A sadness filling her deep brown eyes.?

?

Her studies…that was all he cared about. Not her or spending time with her or getting to know her…just grooming her Magicks.

?

“Thank you Angus.” She said the sadness leaching into her once happy and playful voice. “I think I’m going to go for a walk within the keep. Explore things. See what supplies I can find.” She said trying to sound cheery but not knowing if she succeeded.

?

“That tea was delicious.” She said as she left the room.

(The Dragon, Angus)

?

The Dragon flew to a place he hadn't been to in a long time.? He'd never had a reason to before, at least no reason beyond curiosity.? The stories that every dragon had a hoard were not always true, but in the case of the one that formerly held the keep they turned out to be quite true.? Not a huge hoard to be sure, but it was sufficient to his need of the moment.

?

Perching on a ledge on the side?of a cliff, The Dragon moved a pile of enormous boulders aside to reveal a hidden cave.? It was a close fit as he crawled inside, but once inside there was enough room to move about.? The cavern?was littered from end to end with all manner of bright and shiny things, but also adorned with fine-worked silk, carpets, and tapestries.??

?

The Dragon paused a moment, pondering what might best please Mikayla.? He regretted that his studies - when he was human - had led to his neglect of understanding people.? Particularly women.? But there was nothing he could do about that now.? He would just have to make his best guesses and hope that some of them might appeal to the girl.

?

He had to make several trips.? There was a limit to how much he could carry, not so much because of the weight as because of the awkwardness of hanging on to things while flying.? He frown with annoyance when periodically he'd drop a jeweled chalice or a candelabra over a ravine or river, but kept to his purpose and flew on, taking each load back to the keep where he deposited them on the stone floor of the open chamber.? On one trip he encountered Angus in the room but gestured for the servant to keep silent and to not let the girl find out what he was doing.? It took the better part of the day spent flying back and forth between hoard and keep before he felt he had enough.

?

As the sun began to set, The Dragon summoned Angus.? "Go fetch the girl and bring her here," he rumbled softly. His reptilian features quirked in what approximated an anticipatory smile.? "I want to see the look on her face at what I have brought her."

(贰惫辞苍别’)

?

Evone stepped into his arms to hold him close. He smelled like man. Rugged and confident and sex all at one time. It was a turn on to her. The way he seemed to know what was going on and how to fix things. How he seemed to strong and confident that nothing could harm him…his crew…his ship.

?

At his words,?Evone’ eyed him wearily. As sexy as she found it, His confidence would have been infectious if she wasn’t such a cautious person by nature. “If I was to be honest, I’d have to say yes and no. Of course I want to go to France, but I don’t want to do anything to put you at risk.” She said her hands toying in his hair. “Are you sure this is wise love. Your safety is my utmost concern.”

?

(Andrew)

?

Andrew smiled as Evone' expressed her concern while at the same time toying fitfully with his hair.? "Again, I'm a smuggler, my love.? 'Wise' isn't a word we're commonly adorned with. That said, however, I do know the difference between bold and reckless.? I didn't survive this long by being reckless."

?

He took her hand on his arm as he began a circuit around the Elusive, inspecting the repairs.? "The key here is speed.? They know where we're ultimately going.? Our best strategy is to get there before they have a chance to either catch us or get between us and France.? We have the faster ship by far.? All we need is a little bit of luck and fair weather."

?

When they'd finished the circuit and were back at the front of the ship once again, Andrew patted the prow beams affectionately.? "The lads will be getting her closer to the water line and propped upright once again.? By this time tomorrow, the tide will have come in far enough to set her afloat." He turned and cupped her face in his warm hands.? "And then, my love, we'll be on our way.? And devil take the hindmost."??

(Mia)

?

With a smile, "Very true." In response to the comment about conversations. "Then I will go and dance a few songs and wait for your shift to end, if that works for you? I have no where else I need or want to be." With that she slipped off of the bar stool and headed to the dance floor to join in with the crowd that was moving with the beat. It never took her long to find the right rhythm in a crowd.

?

She watched Del finish her shift and how the woman mingled with the other guest. She had a natural ability to make everyone feel at ease. With a smile, Mia was glad that she came tonight. She would have to make a choice soon, but for now was going to simply enjoy being in the moment that she was in.

?

(Del)

?

Her shift over, Del made her way to the dance floor where Mia was waiting.? As soon as she set foot on the floor though, the lights began to shimmer and the music shifted to the energetic opening of a famous cover song from the 80's.? A shriek went up from a chorus of female voices in the club and suddenly the dance floor was a flux of motion as women from all over the club converged on the floor, quickly clearing it of men.

?

At Mia's perplexed look, Del yelled gleefully over the music "It's a tradition here at the Elegance.? Whenever Bananarama's Venus comes on, the dance floor is girls-only." She then raised her arms over her head, closed her eyes and began shimmying in front of Mia, dancing fluidly as she and dozens of other women around them began singing along:

?

"Goddess on the mountain top...

Burning like a silver flame...

The summit of beauty and love...

And Venus was her name!"

?

Lowering her arms to hang around Mia's neck, Del opened her eyes again, favoring the woman with their liquid brown intensity, crooning "She's got it... Yeah, baby, she's got it... I'm your Venus, I'm your fire... and your desire."
