[PRP] Hands Down (Vespara & Regulus)

[Yayoi]

In that moment the world around them didn’t matter. He had lost interest in the fight as noe his interest lay with her. Her lips were so soft and her taste so seeet he couldn’t help himself but to kiss her. The next match would be starting soon but he didn’t even care about that. Being like this in public? He didn’t care what others around them might think.

He trailed his hands up her hips and sides, claws digging in lightly until they came up to cup her face for only a brief moment. They slid to the back of her head, holding her there as his claws twined in her dark hair. Claws running along her scalp as his tail wrapped tighter around her’s.

That fire in his belly burned hotter and brighter as it warmed his body. Regulus found himself wanting Vespara more and more as each second ticked by. But how much time had passed well; he wasn’t sure. It could have been minutes or hours the male didn’t know. But to get anywhere they would have to stop, lol d only for just a moment.

Regulus pulled away enough that he could lean his forehead against hers. Cyan colored eyes staring into her mismatched gaze. They burned with a passion that Regulus had never felt before. It seemed like his luck was changing after all. How he had landed a girl as beautiful, smart, sensual and funny as Vespara he would never knoe. But the Gods must have been smiling upon him. “Are you ready to get out of here? There’s still a few more places to go tonight.” He felt almost breathless as he spoke.

Vespara had wondered what his kisses might be like, and they were better than she could have imagined. She shivered within his arms as he ran his hands through her thick locks of hair and over her scalp; the feel of his tail twined with her own teased what their future might someday bring.

Vespara had never given much thought about boys, girls, or relationships in general... She was too focused on her studies, on her future in the Clan, and her desire to make something of herself. But here, wrapped up in his arms? None of that mattered. She didn't care he wasn't part of the Clan, didn't care that they were still learning about one another. Somehow, he'd managed to be available... and better yet, seemed genuinely interested.

Her week couldn't get any better.

When he broke off their kiss, he left Vespara breathless. Nevermind she was a vampire who didn't need to breathe -- she could hardly finds words as she gazed at him. He was far more interesting than the pain in the fighting ring.
"Yeah, we can go," she agreed with a small, sensuous smile, just for him. Of course, leaving meant actually letting him go... a downside. Leaning in, she pulled him back for one more, tender kiss before she grudgingly let her arms release him. If she let them slide down his form covetously, she could hardly be blamed... Vespara liked what she'd felt, very much.

She didn't move far though, looping his arm back against hers, this time possessively. She was curious what else he'd planned... but he could have taken her anywhere and she would have enjoyed it, because he'd be there. "Where to, bello?" Vespara felt content, and more than a little smug. What a vampire she'd found... the world could eat their heart out.

So much for betting on the next match. But that was fine, all the carnage in the ring couldn’t pull his attention away from her. He wanted to know more, about what made her smile, what made her moan with pleasure, what set her body on fire. He didn’t care much about what clan she was in, he’s never had much interest on n the clans in the first place.

He pulled her in close, holding her arm against his chest as they made their way out of the building. “How about the Sin Bin? Maybe we can catch a show of we’re lucky.” Who knew maybe the Grave Robbers would be there and she could fulfill her want of seeing them live. Lifting her hand he kissed it. It was hard to keep his lips off of her. When they finally hit the street he took a right and began to walk further into town where the Bin was located.

On their walk there he had to stop himself from just taking her and kissing her several times. Now that that was acceptable now he never wanted to stop. Her skin and her lips were so soft he wanted to taste her more. She tasted sweet like honey and he couldn’t get enoug

"Sin Bin sounds great," she eagerly agreed.

Vespara felt as if she was floating on cloud nine. It had nothing to do with the violence in the ring, or the blood in the air, and everything to do with the man leading her out and towards the Sin Bin. He could have taken her to an alleyway or just walked the streets with her, and she would have been equally thrilled. There was just something about him that she liked... and she wanted to know all about him.

She stayed close to him, finding herself eager to be tactile and affectionate. Vespara had never considered herself to be particularly touchy-feely, but there was something about Regulus that had her opening up in ways she never would have otherwise. She could be playful with him, she didn't have to be studious and serious like she felt she had to be around her own family. It was also nice to get attention, and sole attention, that wasn't the protectiveness of her parents. He treated her like she wanted to be treated, and oh, how she wanted to have him all to herself.

Similarly, and unknowingly, Vespara was also eager for more kisses. Now that she'd tasted his lips, she wanted to kiss him again and again. To have his body pressed against hers, to feel his warmth, to let her hands run over his body.... Well. All in good time. Though it was hard to keep her hands off him, she wasn't fool enough to show her cards so early in the game.

So it was, she simply kept herself close to him, letting her tail coil and brush against his as they walked. "So am I dressed properly for this place?" She asked, remembering what they had talked about a few days prior. She unlooped her arm, and ave a little twirl while they walked, expecting, or at least hoping, he might look her over again. Maybe she just wanted his eyes on her again. If that was the case, could she really be blamed? "Or do you have any fashion tips for me, carino?" She asked, reaching back out to him so they could continue their little walk.

Good, the Sin Bin it was. Regulus knew she had been wanting to go there from a conversation they had the last time they were together. Maybe they would get lucky and one of the bands would be playing. Going there to drink was alright sure, but it would be more entertaining to watch a show if they could. If not well they would still have a good time, he would make sure of that. He didn’t want any part of this date to go awry. Not like last time.

A smile came to his lips as his cyan gaze locked on her form as she twirled. She was lovely, sensual, seductive. Her outfit hugging her curves and accentuating her in all the right places. Regulus sucked in a small breath as he watched her. Coming to a stop as he brought her in close again. Lifting lifting her chin with a claw as he leaned in close. “Perfetta. Bellissima.” Yea, maybe he had learned a few words in her language during their time apart. He pressed his lips against her’s hungrily. The more time he spent with her the more he wanted her all to himself. The night around them didn’t matter, it slowly melted away with the heat of their kiss.

He wrapped his arms around her, holding her there as he kissed her. Running his claws through her hair again. Tucking a stray piece behind her ear before caressing her cheek with the back of his fingers. He had to be good though, they were in public with prying eyes. And while it might have seemed like the street was empty thst was rarely ever the case.

Breaking the kiss begrudgingly, Regulus draped his arm around her shoulders pulling her close against him. He wanted to feel her body up against his once more. It just felt right being with her this way. Hopefully what transpired tonight was a small glimpse into what they might share in the future. Though perhaps maybe more than just holding and kisses. He began to continue their walk to the club once more.

The words both surprised Vespara, and delighted her, with her dual-colored eyes brightening with pleasure and a smile tickling her lips. She was grateful for the kiss which followed, because his studies absolutely deserved a bit of payoff. She deepened the kiss, running her hands back up him, slipping them wantonly about his neck. She didn't care that they were standing in a street, with such obvious display of affection; she didn't care who might see them, for as far as she was concerned, she was doing nothing wrong. Oh, they well could have remained there the rest of thee night, and Vespara would have been happy....

But alas, it wasn't proper, and there were places to be. "Mmm, you're a good kisser, carino. Molto avvincente," she gave a small, dreamy sigh, all for him, and all because of him. She didn't feel the need to hide her interest in the handsome vampire -- as far as Vespara was concerned, she didn't want the night to be about anyone, or anything else. "They're going to get me into trouble, I think," she teased, biting her lower lip with, perhaps, a bit of flirty anticipation. Who was she kidding? They'd probably get them both into trouble...but that was ok. It sounded like a good sort of trouble her.

Leaning against him as they walked, she savored his touch and his scent as they continued their way to the Sin Bin. "So how is it a strong, handsome, lclever, charming, sexy, fashionable, carino such as yourself is still single, hmm?" She asked, a small, purr in her voice. "Or at least, formerly single?" It was only their second date, and they hadn't even talked about what they were, or used any labels.... but she already knew what she wanted, and she was more than happy to drag him off the market for the time being, kicking and screaming if she must.

Regulus had to restrain himself from stopping to kiss her again. It was a very difficult feat. Her soft lips called to him like a siren’s song. He wanted to run his claws through her silky dark hair again, feel the flutter of desire in his belly as their lips locked and their tongues played. <******** it.

He pulled her back in close and kissed her, leaning her back just a little bit as his arms wrapped around her to hold her close to his chest. The kiss lingered on for a long time. He deepened it, a hand coming up to stroke her face. Finally he broke the kiss with a devilish smile. “I think they’ll get us both in trouble. Although I wouldn’t mind your brand of trouble.” That was it he was hooked on her. Her perfumed wreathed around him and he enjoyed lingering here with her in his arms

Her next question could have many answers but he merely shrugged. “I guess I just hadn’t found the right woman to be formerly single with.” It was no surprise he wanted to be with her. Regulus had a hard time hiding it whenever she was around.

At this ooont they were never going to make it to the Sin Bin. “If we don’t stop we’ll never get anywhere tonight.” It was just an observation. He wouldn’t of minded if they just stood there kissing for the rest of the night. As long as he could be with Vespara. “Does that mean you are formerly single as well?” Hr was hopeful.

Oh, gods above, that kiss.

If Vespara hadn't already been in trouble, she certainly was the moment he leaned her back. That kiss could have gone on and on as far as she was concerned, and she was more than happy to drink in his lips and tongue. She wanted to memorize his taste, the warmth of his lips, the feel of his body against hers. She ran her claws up his back, his neck, his shoulders, and held onto him ever so tightly.

.....oh, she really was in danger. Her stomach was twisting, and she couldn't think about anything or anyone else. Perhaps it was good that they were still in public, because Vespara's thoughts were starting to stray. "Mmm, you make it difficult to want to stop," she purred against his lips. Pulling his head down, she gave him one last, delicate kiss. She let her hands run through his hairs and down the back of his neck, before giving him a little n** of his lower-lip. "But I suppose we should carry on. At least there might be less prying eyes in the club, si?" Things to distract them from one another... not that she particularly wanted to be distracted.

Slipping her hand in his own, she carried on their walk, letting her fingers caress his hand and in between his own as they continued. "Ah, si, carino. Consider me well off the market. I met a charming rogue out while shopping a few nights ago. Lui è magnifico." She leaned against him again, glad at how their date was progressing. She should have worried about what her parents might think, given who she was, her reputation, her Clan. But when she was with Regulus, she could hardly think about anything but him.

He could have stayed in that moment for a very long time. Even if the world around them continued on he just wanted to be with her. To taste her soft, supple lips and explore her mouth. His mind wandered to thoughts about other things he might like to do. But that was for neither here or now.

Regulus gave her one lat kiss before they parted, his fingers lacing with her’s as they continued their walk. If he stopped a few more times to plant even more kisses on those beautiful lips who could blame him. He was with a gorgeous woman who just brought it out of him.

He nodded. Yes, less prying eyes that was for sure. Most people who went to the Sin Bin weren’t there to people watch. They were there to get their own vices out.

It wasn’t long before they had finally reached the place. It was busy, as per usual, a long line had formed half way down the block of club goes looking to get inside. It must have been pretty packed tonight. Luckily for them he knew the bouncer and their entrance into the Bin was swift. The music thrummed and vibrated the air it was so loud. Regulus slipped and arm around her waist to keep her close as he maneuvered them through the crowd to an empty booth. Waiting for her to take a seat before he slid in next to her. “Rather busy tonight, good. Maybe that means someone is playing tonight.”

Vespara had never been to a club of his nature, much less the Sin Bin. Thankfully, it didn't take long to get in. Of course, the sound of the club all but overwhelmed her senses, the sick beats, the heavy shadows, the bright, colorful lights, and as many vampires she'd ever seen congregated in one place. Some were at tables, some were dancing, while others still were at the bar or in corners and hallways, chattering, drinking, flirting. There were vampires of all shapes and sizes, and their styles ranged from goth to punk and everything in between.

Now this was a club.

She understood the appeal, and was excited to get to visit. Everything about the place was amazing, from the decor, to the music. A different sort of feel than their little rooftop party she'd been to a few nights prior. Settling into the booth, she gave a fanged grin. "No wonder this is the hot ticket," she mused, letting her eyes sweep over the men and women as they passed, patrons and bartenders alike.

How lucky to be here with the most attractive of them all. "I didn't realize it was so large a club," she commented, giving one last look around before peeking back at Regulus. If he hadn't returned his arm around her waist, she was quick to slip it around her once more, settling her own hand upon the top of his leg. There. Nice and cozy...never mind if her fingers pet just a little.

"Mmm, a bona fide regular I see," she mused with a smile. Enough so that the bouncer let him in without issue--or maybe they just knew one another elsewhere. Regardless, she couldn't help but feel like a VIP. "The music's top notch, at any rate. What's your poison tonight, carino?" She asked, more than happy to pay for some drinks.

His arm wrapped easily about her waist once more, pulling her in close to settle within the crook of his arm. His fingers drumming lightly against her hip. Regulus raised a brow slightly as her hand slipped onto his leg. Well, that was quite forward he mused to himself. But then there was. Irving subtle or passive about Vespara. Nothing at all.

“Vodka dry is fine for me.” He didn’t need anything super fancy. Basic vodka would be enough for his pallet. Regulus glanced about the xlub, taking in all the sights and sounds of the club. It was a nice and busy night. He gaze soon turned to the dance floor. Maybe he and Vespara could get a little dancing in. It would be only slightly different than the dancing they did a few nights ago.

Regulus’s gaze turned back to her. “Kind of. The bouncer and I know each other. He saved my a** one time and we’ve sorta been friends since.” To tell the truth they weren’t super close friends, more like acquaintances. They didn’t go out of their way to hang out with one another.

The hand on her hip lifted to brush fingers against her cheek, running along her jaw line. He had to fight the urge to kiss her again. Once they had gotten started tonight it was all he could think about.

Vespara made sure to keep her hand simply atop his leg, innocent enough... but she had no intentions of removing it. So long as he didn't object, of course. Besides, it was as much as a personal claim as it was simply nice to have her hands upon him. Vespara had never felt a need to be shy--when she wanted something, she usually found a way to get it.

It didn't take long for a host to come over and get their order. The individuals here, she noticed, made her feel like she had dressed on the more conservative side. Well, perhaps that was just as well. She wasn't dressed like this for any of them, after all -- but for a certain carino sitting next to her. "One vodka dry, one cosmopolitan, grazie," she put in their order, before happily turning her attention back to Regulus.

She certainly liked his hands on her. "Another fight?" She asked with a feral little grin. "Are you sure you're not a little bit Brujah?" Her words were all jest of course. She knew that he had more than a little practice when it came to keeping his head on his shoulders. "Well, hopefully I'll be your only trouble tonight," she purred. She turned her head slightly, letting her lips brush against the hand and fingers caressing her face. He looked good against the shadow and colors of the club. Very good.

"I don't know many outside of the clan," she admitted after a moment. "I had little interest in much outside my studies until bumping into you," she mused. "Grazie,carino." He was certainly opening her eyes to things unlife had to offer that went beyond knowledge and power.

Shadows from the ambiance played across his face as lights flashed in rhythm to the music.cyan colored eyes almost seemed to glow in the low light. He brushed back a bit of his own hair and relaxed in the booth while they waited for their drinks to arrive. They could sit here in this booth all night for all he cared as long as she was there it didn’t matter what they did.

He laughed, shaking his head l. “No, not Brujah.” He had thought once about maybe joining the clan there seemed to look beneficial at least. But they tended to be a little too much into machismo more than what was his liking. “I like the idea of you being my only trouble.” So far sur hadn’t been all that much trouble at all. Her kisses were trouble that was for sure as was the hand on his leg. That was extra trouble.

“Your studies must be very important to you.” He commented. Nothing wrong with being goal orienteered however having your nose in a boon all the time you tended to miss what life or unlife had to offer you. The world just seemed to pass to by. “I’m glad I could introduce you to something different then. You can read about clubs all you want but until you experience it for yourself it’s just words on a page•

Vespara enjoyed the way his eyes all-but-glowed in the light. If someone had told her a few days ago she would have been swooning over a dark-haired carino she would have laughed and dismissed such a notion. She had never given much thought to anyone outside the Clan, and even then, her focus was primarily on forging connections, and finding ways to make herself of use to the famiglia. But now? .... Now she was at a club, thinking of nothing but how nice he felt next to her.

"My studies are. But my famiglia's important to me, too. If I do a good job, and work my way up, it'll open up opportunities for me, as well as my future." Claudius was as high ranking as they came, and Vespara would not be content to sit in his shadow. She had a long way to go, a lot to do, and even more to prove... but she had the drive. She would become a necromancer, come hell or highwater. It was in her blood. But it also wasn't to be discussed. Carino didn't need to know.... and wouldn't know. "But you're important too," she added, offering him a fanged smile, and letting her hand stroke that leg once more. "I have no doubt you'll introduce me to a whole new world of things. But maybe, I'll rock your world a bit, too, si?" She asked innocently, but there was something feral within her gaze.

"So, are you in a clan then?" She finally asked, deciding she might as well broach the subject. There were certain clans that would make whatever-this-was impossible to continue. While it wouldn't have necessarily mattered in the short term, Vespara had decided that it was better to know now. There was a risk he was untouchable, depending on his answer.... and then where would they be? No where at all. "... wait, before you answer--" she shifted her position, and pulled him down so she could at least give him one more kiss. Just in case his answer meant an end to their fun, or even considering seeing him further.

Maybe he wouldn't be upset if it ended, but Vespara knew she would. So she wanted one more kiss, just in case reality ruined everything.

She broke off the kiss slowly, before resettling back to where she had been originally, just in time for the waitress to return with their two drinks. They were set down without ceremony, and once again, the two were left to their own devices. Hopefully his reply would give her something to cheer to.

Regulus smiled when she told him he was important too. The male vampire didn’t feel like anything special to be considered important. But he enjoyed the sentiment none the less. Leaning over he kisses the side of her head at the temple. Letting his lips linger there briefly. He’s never ask her to put himself above her ambitions. Besides. She had been working on this dream of her’s long before they had ever met.

He knew one day the subject of his clan would come up. So it seemed it was going to happen sooner rather than later. That was fine. From the way she spoke he had already figured she was part of one. As for which one he couldn’t even imagine a guess. Before he could answer she pulled him in for a kiss, a curious expression on his face. What was that for?

Regulus shook his head. “I’m Clanless.” That too would be a make or break kind of a deal too. The Clanned had this nasty habit of looking down on the Clanless. They were seen as inferior. He lifted his drink to his lips and took a couple good swigs before settling it back down on the table. The claw is his pointer finger tracing the rim of the glass.
