"Hmmm, something tells me L.I. that you have tasted a lot of things of the years and haven't found them wanting at all." She didn't resume her seat moving to lean against the table, perhaps a better angle to be at his closeness unnerved her. "Turn about is fair play and all I think you should draw fist this time." She reached for her glass and took another small sip. Tilting the glass away she licked her lips and bit her lower one once more watching."I haven't had enough to be certain, Desti." He began. And then, after a steady pull from his glass, his eyes sparked with mirth. "But I think I just might have."
The cards would keep them honest. There was something of a thrill in chance. In his life he'd come to find that it made all things equal. A man's plans were only so good as lady luck allowed for them to be in some regards. He'd found a great and earnest respect for it. And now, as she curled her fingers at the hem of her skirt and rose, he'd a great deal of gratitude as well.
There was something beautiful in how coy she'd chosen to be. The single heel clopping gently ontot he floor, laying heavily there despite the thin and delicate shape of it. Even without the heel he found her lean, coltish legs held a stunningly feminine shape. Reflexively, a rough hand curled into a large fist against the bar's edge. His eyes travelled the length of her little limb and then lifted to find her own. She knew exactly what she was doing.
And his appreciation doubled.
In turn, he tipped his drink to her and reached for a new card. "I've a taste for beautiful things but..." he paused, to flip the card and allow the Jack to lay upon the felt beside him. "I think there's something to be said for the old way, don't you?"
When the Jack flipped over she laughed, "not a bad card really, but you did beat me last hand when I pulled the same... perhaps the Joker will be my fool and allow me to have a turn to gaze." Her hand paused over the deck as she let her eyes stay on his and before she pulled she stated, " I played this once before, slightly different rules... course I altered them a bit... he was easy to read."
She drew her card and flipped it, her eyes closed and she wrinkled her nose," maybe just maybe..." she chuckled a bit more and shrugged, "seems the card are definitely in the favor of the man with the plan.
Raising her right foot to the chair she leaned over a bit and slid both her hands to her leg along the black silk her fingers coursed perhaps attempting to draw along her leg once more and she plucked the shoe off and it to landed with a soft thud on the floor next to its twin.
