Little Huntress ~Battle of "Right and Wrong"~

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross

She pulled back uttering one word, "Couch."

Darren glanced over to the indicated peice of furniture. It was only a few feet away but it might as well be several hundred miles away. Darren didn't want to spend one minute without touching her, kissing her, loving her.

So he picked her up in her arms and carried her over to it bringing her face close to him so they could nuzzle together as he did. Once he reached the couch he laid Rayna down on it staring into her eyes. He pulled up shucking his shirt off and flinging it carelessly onto the floor by the stairs.

Darren bent down to kiss her again as his fingers began undoing the remaining buttons of her blouse.

----------------------------------------------X

IC: Gregory Wolf and Batai

"Will you LISTEN TO HIM This will HELP YOU and all of us!" Emily said smacking Greg on the back of the head.

"Ow," He reached a hand to rub the spot on the back of the head. "That hurt."

But she did not hear his complaint. Emily turned to Batai instead saying, "Yeah I will..." She paused for a moment then said, "wait did I actually just hit him in the head?"

Batai nodded. "Very good, little one."

"Hey," Greg protested, "That wasn't good. No hitting allowed."

"You better watch it and do what he says cause now I might just be able to kick your butt."

Greg shook his head, "I left home to get away from my big sister, sheesh." He started back down the road, "Fine, I won't call Batai a quack again. Happy now?"

"I didn't mind," Batai told him. To Emily he said, "When they go out let's talk of what we'll have to do for his vision quest. He knows you better so you will serve as his guide."

 

[Asa]

Rayna

She nipped at his lips as he carried her to the couch and her hand caressing his cheek. Once he laid her on the couch and she purred watching him toss his shirt off to the side she reached a hand to caress his chest fingernails trailing over his abs near the waistband of his pants. Feeling him finish off the buttons of her blouse she leaned up nipping once more at his lips.

Emily

She was still surprised that she had been able to hit him. She listened to Batai and nodded.

Yeah I can help I have no idea for now what I would be doing but yeah I can help.

She leaned a little closer to Greg

Make sure that Rayna has the necklace with her Greg... while you all are out... just in case.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross

Darren leaned over Rayna hungrily kissing and nipping whatever part of her he could get within range. She lunged up and claimed his mouth as hers in a fierce and needy kiss. His hands slipping under her to unclasp that pesky bra.

When he did get it undone he lifted the cups off over her breasts and free for his fingers to explore the flesh beneath, circling around her nipples.

----------------------------x

IC: Gregory Wolf

They walked and chatted more as the approached the neighborhood of the house. Greg was looking forward to spending some time with Rayna even with Darren crimping his style for the outing.

"Make sure that Rayna has the necklace with her Greg," Emily told him, "While you all are out... just in case."

Great then Batai would pop up whenever he wanted to and shatter any mood for romance Rayna would want to have with him. To Emily he nodded. "Yeah sure whatever."

He walked up the stairs and reached for the doorknob to the townhouse.

 

[Asa]

Emily

Sighing she didn't want to say more are make Batai worry. Giving him that serious look that she hoped conveyed her concern without Batai noticing.

Just... asking Greg.

She would have told him but she didn't want to cause undue worry and stress to Batai.

~~~~
Rayna

Wriggling her arms she slithered from the bra her lips never leaving his. Its not like they needed to breathe. Her hands move to trail fingernails over his chest and arms as they kisses.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross

Once off of Rayna Darren flung her bra callously to the floor. It was only in the way anyway. His hand claimed a breast kneading gently while he bent his head to wrap his lips around the nipple.

The doorknob to the door outside shook and began to turn.

----------------------------------------------------------------------X

IC: Gregory Wolf and Darren Cross

The doorkob shook and turned and Greg opened it to step in. "Rayn..."

He stopped not believing what he was seeing. There on the couch was Darren and Rayna. At his foot was Rayna's bra. He only saw red next.

"You fucking son of a bitch," He growled to Darren as he rose up from over Rayna's half-clothed body, "After all that shit you pulled the other night about me trying to steal her from you."

"Greg, look we didn't mean-I mean things just got away from us," Darren said trying to explain, "I didn't really intend to take her from..."

He didn't get to finish his sentence as Greg's fist made solid contact with his face.

 

[Asa]

Fangs elongated and bared As the second Gregs fist connected with Darrens face Rayna's hands connected with both of their throats.

ENOUGH!!!

Before either could act Rayna had them pinned to the wall.

This will be the LAST TIME I tell you two this. I am not claimed by EITHER OF YOU!!!! You both carry MY MARK of Claiming... Get that through your thick skulls you both are MINE NOT the other way around. I will do what I wish with either of you whenever I wish and if there is a problem with that I can leave BOTH of you PERMANENTLY!!!

Her eyes flashed with rage but the color of the fire within them would be more dull that Batai would remember. Her form almost more solid in appearance to him than before as she stood there. Releasing them she turned and went to get her stuff before starting up the stairs to get changed.

I am going to get a drink and go dancing IF you two think you can drop all this Pathetic childish chest beating like a pair of neanderthals you are both welcome to come with Me. IF you can not stop doing that then stay home. Do I make myself clear boys?

She stumbled a little as she climbed the stairs and grabbed the rail as if "feeling her age" for a moment.

~~~~

Emily moved quickly to hide behind Batai. She noticed that Rayna looked a little strange and her energy seemed off. She would swear she almost smelled trees but that couldn't be. She remained silent sure that those two idiots were going to push her till she left then she would have to put up with them blaming each other then Gregs inevitable self loathing and blaming himself.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross and Gregory Wolf

It wasn't a solid punch, it was a swing made in a flash of anger and so didn't do as much damage as an intentional punch. Still when it landed against Darren's cheek it did force him to take a step back and turn his head.

A hand seized him by the throat. Another grabbed Greg's, and they hit the wall hard. Picture frames shook and fell off the wall.

"ENOUGH!!!" Rayna glared at them both.

"This will be the LAST TIME I tell you two this," She continued voice low and lethally serious, " I am not claimed by EITHER OF YOU!!!! You both carry MY MARK of Claiming... Get that through your thick skulls you both are MINE NOT the other way around. I will do what I wish with either of you whenever I wish and if there is a problem with that I can leave BOTH of you PERMANENTLY!!!" There was fire and heat in her eyes like a blast furnace abated but only needing a turn of a knob to incinerate them both under its fury.

She released them and both fell to their knees Greg gasping for breath and Darren running a hand over his throat. Rayna gathered her clothes and walked up to the stairs. "I am going to get a drink and go dancing."

She looked back over her still bared shoulder to them, "IF you two think you can drop all this Pathetic childish chest beating like a pair of neanderthals you are both welcome to come with Me. IF you can not stop doing that then stay home. Do I make myself clear boys?" She then began up the steps stumbling a bit but catching herself.

Greg got up and looked over to Darren, "I really did it this time, didn't I?" He lifted Darren up on his feet. "Sorry about hitting you."

Darren ran his hand over the side of his cheek Greg's fist had hit. "I would've done the same to you when I walked in on you two the other night. We really need to figure out someway to make this work...maybe something like a timeshare."

"Timeshare," Greg guffawed, "Rayna isn't a condo."

"What do you suggest," He shot back, "Neither of us will be happy when the other tries to get close to her."

"I can't think of anything," Greg answered, "But right now I'm going to take a quick shower. I don't want to go out with Rayna smelling like a mangy dog."

"I guess I'll get ready again too then."

They looked at eachother for a long moment of sibling-like rivalry and comaraderie making a complicated and tangled mix between them.

----------------------------------------X

IC: Batai

Batai turned to Emily, "Did you just notice how Rayna's aura was strange for a moment?"

 

[Asa]

Emily

She nodded still half hiding behind him as she watched Rayna on the stairs.

Um... yeah... between thinking she was actually going to kill them smelling the trees around the hospital and her energy just seeming off yeah somethings not right. Have they just pushed her too far?

~~~~

Rayna

She was furious with them... but how to "level the playing field" as it were? She was deep in thought about it as she tried to pick out what to wear. She was feeling a little tired but chalked it up to stress from Darren and Greg. Something had to be done. She suspected that once Greg and the wolf were one that it might help a little due to the pack mentality and her marking them and basically to the wolf becoming its Alpha. She even pondered more human paths... just having them both there in bed with her one night... could be fun... Not tonight however she was far too stressed and irate with them for now. Maybe tomorrow night.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross

Darren buttoned up his new shirt and slipped on his jacket. He left his room and passing Greg as he left the shower in the hall. He knocked on Rayna's door.

"Would you like to go to the bar again or do you really want to go downtown to a danceclub?"


IC: Gregory Wolf

Greg climbed out of the shower and toweled himself off. He always took a shower after the day he had changed whether he needed one or not. It made him feel human again

He opened the door and crossed paths with Darren as he strode down the hall quickly slipping on some clean clothes and heading out to catch Darren at Rayna's door.

"One problem though," He said on hearing what Darren was asking Rayna, "I don't know how to dance."

----------------------------------------------x

IC: Batai

"Did you just notice how Rayna's aura was strange for a moment?"

"Um... yeah," Emily said, "Between thinking she was actually going to kill them smelling the trees around the hospital and her energy just seeming off yeah somethings not right. Have they just pushed her too far?"

Batai thought about that for a moment. "Maybe," He said, "I don't think its anything too serious, but let's both keep a close eye on her, little one."

 

[Asa]

Rayna

Opening the door to her room wearing a tie front Choli top http://www.dancingrahana.com/images/products/detail/tops242.jpg and a black handkerchief skirt http://www.dancingrahana.com/images/products/detail/skirts51black.jpg and some low heeled sandal style shoes

That's perfectly alright finally something I can teach you.

She smirked as something devious danced through her mind as she watched their eyes.

Or you two can just sit back at a table and drink and I can dance while you two sort this out?

Her hair was pulled back some and left loose in the back as she walked into the hall to join them.

~~~~

Emily

But why did I smell those trees from around the hospital?

She chewed on her lip a little that was the strangeness that puzzled her... Not that the guys had possibly pushed Rayna into such a stress based rage to alter her energy and aura but the scent...

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross and Gregory Wolf

"One problem though. I don't know how to dance," Greg pointed out.

"That's perfectly alright," Rayna replied with a sly smirk on her lips, "Finally something I can teach you."

"Something tells me," Darren said turning to Greg, "Rayna is forming some wicked ideas for us."

"Or you two can just sit back at a table and drink," Rayna said with a perked brow, "And I can dance while you two sort this out?"

"I'm more inclined for a good show," Greg nodded, "That way your delicate toes are saved the trampling my clodhoppers would give them."

Darren gestured towards the stairs, "Then let's get going then." They stepped down the stairs and bid good bye to Batai and Emily. Taking a cab downtown to the nightclubs there.

---------------------------------------------------x

IC: Batai

"But why did I smell those trees from around the hospital?"

Batai shrugged, "That is as perplexing as it is troubling."

He did not want to countenance the prospect of something seriously wrong with his still-living wife. Still the mystery of what was wrong with Rayna was troubling him.

They came downstairs and wished them both goodbye as they left to fetch a taxi. Greg had taken the coat with Rayna's necklace with them.

He looked to Emily, "We should go and watch her carefully. Together we will learn the truth of this mystery."

 

[Asa]

Rayna

Well then there will be NO getting jealous of other men walk up to dance with me if you two are not going to dance with me. Is that clear?

She smiled deviously knowing that the moment that some guy walked up to dance with her they would both close in and give in to dancing with her... All part of a plan... give them a "common enemy or common goal"... "protect her" from someone else dancing with her.

Lets go... Which club should we go to? Is there a place around here that plays more international music?

~~~~

Emily

She smiled waving glancing to Greg and Darren to remind them to keep an eye on her. She was worried and wished she could remember what kind of trees those were around the hospital. She should have asked Darren or Greg but she could ask them later. For now they all should keep an eye on Rayna... something was up and she was worried about who Rayna had talked to. She wondered if it had been blonde and bitchy or creepy Bishop.

Yeah... lets go and just think we can dance with them without paying the cover charge.

She smiled she was glad Rayna was around as Rayna was giving her ideas she had not thought of being a ghost. SO many things she could do and not have to pay.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross and Gregory Wolf

Neither Darren or Greg was particularly elated at the prospect of any other man dancing with Rayna. So when they got in the cab they decided to go downtown to a nightclub called the factory. Since that was what the building once was. They were having a request night where the DJ played only the requests given to him by the patrons.

They climbed out of the taxi and stood in line to enter the club.

------------------------------------------X

IC: Batai

Batai and Emily followed the cab to the club.

Batai turned to his companion. "It has been ages since I last danced," He said to her, "I would love to do so again, Little one."

 

[Asa]

Emily

I am sure music has changed Quite a bit but yeah dancing might be fun. Ya know I never thought about doing all this stuff till Rayna showed up.

She smiled hoping modern music didn't bother him too much.

~~~~

Rayna

She was looking forward to dancing and hoped that the DJ would have some of the artists that she had grown accustomed to in her travels. Once they arrived she wandered up to the booth and found out that the DJ had a few of the artist she was interested in hearing and lined up one for her as she glanced back towards Darren and Greg as the music starts and she begins dancing.

http://youtu.be/Zv0OF_1tX6c

SHe began dancing around and as the song got to Sexy Boy set me Free she trailed fingertips over Darren and Greg chests and cheeks smiling deviously as she danced between and around them. As the song ended she stood in front of them a single finger resting under Darrens chin and one finger resting under Gregs chin holding their gaze to hers.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross and Gregory Wolf

Darren looked back to Greg as Rayna left them to speak with the DJ for a moment then in a moment the melodic tune of the sax came over the club's speakers.

Greg's eyes widened as Rayna's hips began to sway and bob in time with music. She began to dance in circles around the two of them her motions and attitude tuned to entice and lure them. Others in the club were starting to notice there were a few catcalls as halfway through the song she trailed fingers over them as she danced like an enchantress weaving a spell over the speechless men.

The song came to an end with their chins under her fingers.

She looked into their eyes and Darren stammered, "That was..."

"...Something..." Greg concluded for him.

"I suppose you have another song in mind," Darren asked peering into her sultry eyes. "Cause I'd like to have this dance," He bowed kissing the back of her hand adding, "Milady."
--------------------------------X

IC: Batai

Batai and Emily entered the club easily behind Rayna and the two boys.

"I am sure music has changed Quite a bit," Emily said with a delightful laugh in her voice, "but yeah dancing might be fun. Ya know I never thought about doing all this stuff till Rayna showed up."

"Rayna has that way about the people she meets. When she first met me I had no desire to travel, leave my people and my homeland, and see the world. But those years with her were the happiest of my life. I..." He froze as Rayna began to dance around Darren and Greg to the tune of modern music.

He watched the entire dance, not paying attention to Emily, and betraying no expression. Once the song was over he turned to her, "Little one, let us find somewhere quiet, this modern music is not to my tastes."

 

[Asa]

Emily

She watched him and waited for him to finish but watched Rayna the entire time as well. Was there anything she could not do... They would have to have a long sit down girls up all night talk one of these days. Looking back to Batai as he spoke she suspected it must be hard to watch his wife dance with other men even though he was dead and wanted her to move on it still had to sting a little.

Yeah there is a little coffee shop across the street that is pretty quiet... they sometimes play a little jazz..

She paused...

If its still there...

~~~~

Rayna

She smiled watching him kiss her hand and looking over to the DJ just seemed to gesture as he nodded and grinned and began the next song.

http://youtu.be/6dKQR2m-Xfs

She looked to Greg. Go calm down a little and next dance I will teach you... I have a song in mind for that too.

Kissing Greg softly on the lips before turning to Darren with a wicked grin as she spoke...

Keep up if you can darlin.

She took hold of his tie and as the songs slow intro began she walked along with his tie as an almost leash till the main beat of the song hit and her hips began to snap sway with it before turning to face him as she danced.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross and Gregory Wolf

""Cause I'd like to have this dance, Milady,"

The smile that came to Rayna from his chivalrous gesture made him smile back with a certain playfulness to his eyes. She turned and nodded to the DJ and the next song she had selected began to play.

"Go calm down a little and next dance I will teach you," She said to Greg, "I have a song in mind for that too."

She kissed him and Greg returned it wholeheartedly. He nodded to her words not liking being left out nor liking Darren dancing with Rayna and especially not liking the fact that he'd have to stand there and watch his best friend dance with his/their girlfriend. However he did not want to raise Rayna's ire once again so he tried not to watch. He occupied himself with ordering a drink at the bar, but innexorably his eyes returned to the scene of Rayna and Darren dancing together.

Once Greg left Darren reached out for her hand. "Let's dance, beautiful."

She gave him a wicked grin, "Keep up if you can darlin." She grabbed the tie and pulled him along like a dog on a leash as the song's intro began hips hypnotically swaying to the music.

She stopped in the middle of the dancefloor where they were surrounded by gyrating, rocking bodies. Darren placed his hands on her hips and pulled her up against him. Their bodies began to move in time with the beat as one.

---------------------------X

IC: Batai

"Little one, let us find somewhere quiet, this modern music is not to my tastes."

Emily nodded in understanding though thankfully she didn't press the subject on Batai. "Yeah there is a little coffee shop across the street that is pretty quiet..." She suggested, "They sometimes play a little jazz..If its still there."

He shook his head to that, "I don't think we should stray too far from the others in case that strange aura of Rayna's returns." He pointed to a door marked 'Employees Only'. "Let's go back there. We're bound to find someplace quiet back there."

 

[Asa]

Rayna

She wriggled as he held her hips pulling her close. Dancing around with him she loved the feel of another there with her to dance with... she had missed it for so long. She managed while dancing to slip from his hands as she pressed her back to his back still dancing and twirling back around to face him she moved to grip his tie again and leaning close nipped at his lips. The exertion was burning the Juniper more through her system scattering the toxin more and more as she moved and the heat of the dancers around them seemed to feed into her to help give the appearance of life in case any bumped up against them.

Emily

Nodding she smiled

Yeah... i really wish I could remember what kind of trees those are around the hospital... this is driving me crazy.

Moving towards the door for the Employees its not like they would see them in there. She watched them dancing and glanced to Greg. She hoped that they would be able to work this out she did not want to see any of her family hurting or Rayna leaving them.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross

Before Darren knew it she had slipped free of his arms and had slid around behind him. He knew this because he could feel her buttocks pressing into his. Rayna's hands planted on his hips as she ground her hips against him. He moved his hands to trap her hips between them, but she was already move back around in front of him grabbing hold of his tie and pulling him down for nip to his lips.

When she pulled back he grabbed hold of her pulling her in for a full on kiss.

----------------------------------------------X

IC: Gregory Wolf

Greg sat at a table the bottle of beer in his hand. He could just see Darren and Rayna, but infrequently as other dancers got in his line of sight. Which was a blessing and a curse really. He wanted to watch Rayna dance, the previous dance had been such a turn on to him, but he really didn't want to watch her dance like that with Darren.

Dancers parted giving him an unimpeded view of Rayna pulling Darren by the tie for a quick kiss then Darren pulling her back in for a more three or four alarm ringer of a kiss.

He raised the bottle to his lips and swallowed a big swig of the brew.

------------------------------------------X

IC: Batai

He and Emily had no trouble slipping into the employee area of the danceclub, and the loud music was indeed lessened within the hallway.

"I remember the last time I danced with Rayna," He told her nostalgically, "1919, in Argentina, we tangoed...or she danced and I occasionally could muster the concentration to touch her. I wanted to dance with her so badly." He looked over to Emily. "Have you yet wanted to touch something or someone so badly, little one, as I did then?"

 

[Asa]

Rayna

Lost in the dance his kiss seemed to simply become part of the flow of the dance. She melded into the kiss as the song ended. Arms circling his neck and shoulders as she stood there with him for a moment.

Once the kiss broke and she saw the dancers were parted and she had a line of sight on Greg she motioned him over to her with a smirk that tauntingly said... Now. A slower song should begin she was counting on it so she could help him with a dance between the two of them.

~~~~

Emily

She thought about what he said.

I have wanted my life back especially with this recipe that Greg makes with like beef and onion and and some other vegetable in a stir fry that smells amazing.

She stood there... Its hard isn't it? Yeah you told her that she had to move on and maybe you don't envy her that she has but if given half a chance you would replace one of them in a heartbeat wouldn't you?

One of the ghosts at the hospital said something about possession? Taking over a mediums body or something like that... said he got to kiss his wife again that way.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Darren Cross and Gregory Wolf

Darren kissed Rayna as the song ended. For a moment the world fell away and Darren was alone with her. Lips to lips. Perfect. Then she pulled away and turned to Greg. She motioned him over and Darren took a step back away from her. His turn with Rayna was over. Now it was Greg's turn and he needed to get a drink.

They brushed shoulders as Darren walked towards the table Greg had sat at.

Nervously Greg approached her. He was happy that hers and Darren's dancing was over and scared to death that it was his turn.

"I should warn you, Rayna," He told her sheepishly, "I'm not any good at this. I don't want to step on your feet."

-------------------------------------------X

IC: Batai

"Its hard isn't it? Yeah you told her that she had to move on and maybe you don't envy her that she has but if given half a chance you would replace one of them in a heartbeat wouldn't you?"

"I believe the term is 'till death do us part'," He shrugged then looked down. His hands were clenched into fists and the slightest hint of emotion cracked through his easy-going tone, "But you are correct. If I could I would replace both of them and be the only man in my wife's heart forever on."

He looked at her, "But part of the things we need to learn as restless spirits, little one, is the lesson to let go of the attachments of our former lives and how very very painful it is to do that."

One of the ghosts at the hospital said something about possession? Taking over a mediums body or something like that," She suggested, "Said he got to kiss his wife again that way."

He shook his head, "Its never the same as my lips to hers." Shrugging he added, "Oh, I could posess the candjou never the vampire but the canjou for a few moments, but would you do that to someone, Emily, hijack someone else's body like that?" He shivered, "I have before, and some times I am severely tempted to again, but I feel it isn't right...not to them...not to Rayna...not to me."

"No the more you exist as spirits the more the truth begins to dawn on you. There is no going back to the way things were in any form. We must learn to let go though it hurts so very much and be at peace with that."

 

[Asa]

Rayna

Reaching she took his hands and directed him where to let his hands rest as her arms draped along his arms and shoulders.

Close your eyes Greg... Let the music slowly guide you... don't try to force your body let the music do the work.

As the song started she slowly began to move guiding him along with her until the music began to guide him instead.

Emily

She listened understanding his ideas about it and really couldn't imagine hijacking another body even though the old mans story sounded so romantic.

I don't think I could do it but it just sounded so romantic him having the chance to get that goodbye kiss.

She laughed

I have to admit that it was a little fun actually being able to swat Greg and get him to quit whining.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Gregory Wolf

Greg swallowed as Rayna showed him where to put his hands on her. He was accutely aware of all the other people around them, watching. They were making him even more nervous.

"Close your eyes Greg," She told him, "Let the music slowly guide you."

Gotthard: One life, one soul began to play and Rayna began to guide him through a swaying easy pace to the swelling tune.

He heard someone snicker behind them and he missed a step and hurriedly tried to catch up with Rayna stepping on the toe of her shoe.

"Sorry," He said with hurt tone, "But you see what I mean? I'm no good at thi-"

"Don't try to force your body," She said cutting his self-recrimination off, "Let the music do the work."

"I'll try," He told her trying to zone everyone else out of his mind, "For you."

--------------------------------------x

IC: Batai

"I don't think I could do it but it just sounded so romantic," Emily told him, "Him having the chance to get that goodbye kiss."

"What I would not do to kiss Rayna one last time, but..." He glanced at Emily speculatively. "...we spirits tend to dwell upon what we've lost not the oppurtunities given to us."

She laughed, "I have to admit that it was a little fun actually being able to swat Greg and get him to quit whining."

"Don't mistake his fears of what he is for cowardice, little one."

"But let us not waste time talking of the Candjou," He held out his hand to her right there in the empty hallway, "May I have this dance, milady?"

 

[Asa]

Rayna

She smiled and once his eyes were closed a veiled look of death slithered across her face as she looked at those around them and the people quickly decided they wanted to either get back to their own dancing or leave the floor all together. She was always looking at him when Greg's eyes would find hers. Leaning in she kissed his cheek in silent reassurance. Such a touching moment so tender and warm yet another reason she loved them both so much though her mind kept going to how to make this situation work and knowing she had taken the first step with marking them as hers. Now how to continue leveling the playing field.

Emily

She smiled and nodding holding a hand out. Yeah lets dance...

She could barely hear the slower song but she could guess what was going on out there and she really did want to dance.

 

[Veroe]

IC: Gregory Wolf

Greg swayed to the music with Rayna subtly guiding their motions. His eyes were closed. When he opened them he saw her eyes looking up into his. He closed them again, and felt safe in doing so. Rayna would not let him come to harm here, would not let him embarass himself.

He felt her lips briefly kiss his cheek.

His eyes opened and though the song was only now moving into its ending he stopped and craned his head down to claim her lips in a kiss.

---------------------------------------------X

IC: Batai

Batai took her hand and placed his hand over the small of her back bringing her right up against him. For a moment the two of them luxuriated in the sensations of touching another human soul once again.

"Have you ever danced the Tango, little one?"
