A Thief's Seduction (Closed)

[Josu_T]

When she seemed to be doing better I relaxed and sat back in my seat again. I kept an eye on her until I was sure she was really ok. The rest of the meal went better, but I made sure to watch her in case something did happen. She had me worried and I wanted to be careful. The conversation went well. I started to learn a little more about her and told her more about myself. It was great getting to know eachother better.

I was getting near the end of my meal when she suddenly asked if I liked picnics. I was caught off guard by the question. After a few seconds I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I like picnics. I don't go on them often enough, but they are nice." I paused for a moment, looking at her, then added, "Do you like going on picnics?"

 

[Orithyia]

"I think so." I answered truthfully pushing away my plate. "I've never been on one but I see couple go on them all the times and the movies sure do make them look magical." I sighed with a far away look. "Of course that's the whole point to movies, isn't it. To make everything look magical. I just ask because the park out there looks like just the sort of place to have picnics." It was dark now and you could only make out the park by the light of the surrounding buildings but she knew what it looked like.

"You know it never dawned on me to ask if your girlfriend would mind me stealing you away for the night." I recalled the way I acted today I thought that it might be taken the wrong with the way I clung to him as I left the hotel with him that evening. But didn't he eariler say that it could be whatever I wanted it to be, whatever we wanted it to be. And wasn't there flirting when he called me beautiful? "If you think it's getting to late we can pack dessert and cancel the star gazing. I wouldn't want her getting mad with you." I knew that his file said that he was single but I wanted to hear him say it. I wanted to make sure.

 

[Josu_T]

I was surprised she had never been on a picnic before. Most people he knew had at least gone on them as kids with family members. I smiled at her description of picnics as a couple as depicted by hollywood. It really did look nice in the movies. I had never been on a picnic date, but it was another thing I felt would be great to share with her as a first. The park across the street would be a great place for it too.

I wasa little surprised when she asked about my girlfriend. I had never thought she might think I was taken. I felt I had made it clear I was interested in her. It did make me happy that she thought I was good enough to assume I was taken. If it had been any other day and anyone else asking I would have wished I was taken, but with her I was glad I wasn't. Ismiledoverat her and let out a sigh. "You know, I'm sure she will be fine with me spending time with you. She is very understanding. Oh..... and she is imaginary. I don't have a girlfriend." I grinned and chuckled, hoping she wouldn't take my little joke the wrong way.

 

[Orithyia]

The overly pleased smile on my face was evidence of my pleasure. "Well remind me to thank her for being so understanding tonight. I'm not too sure I would be so open to the idea of having to share you for even one night with another woman." I joined in on the joke and smiled. I looked up and caught his eyes and couldn't tear my gaze away. "I hope she's still as understanding when she finds out that I plan out keeping you at least a few hours more." My voice was slightly softer in both tone and volume.

"So what do you think about getting dessert to go and eating it in the park as we gaze at the stars?" I offered hoping that my boldness before telling him that I planed to keep him for a few more hours. I wasn't ready for tonight to be over even if my honorary dinner was nearing it's end and hoped that he would take me up on my offer to spend more time with me. "Maybe even make away with some wine if you would like."

 

[Josu_T]

I chuckled as we started to joke about my nonexistant girlfriend. I was realy glad that she wanted to spend more time with me and was very open about it. Our eyes met and it made me smile even more. The fact that she said 'at least' a few more hours started to get my hopes up. I had no idea how the evening might end, but she was starting to put ideas in my head.

As she made her suggestions I returned from the thoughts in my head. "That sounds really nice. Dessert and wine under the stars. It can be like a little night picnic in the park. I'd love to do that with you." I quickly flagged down a waiter and got them to bring us a dessert menu. I shifted my seat so I saw sitting next to her. We could both read the menu at the same time as I leaned closer to her.

 

[Orithyia]

I smiled when Alex moved to sit next to me and shifted so that he could easily see the menu. Tried to pretend that was the only reason for moving but it truth it was more about bring my body closer to his. "Oh look they have Mazzetti moscato wine." I pointed out. I loved moscato wines and mazzetti was one of my favorites. "If their food wasn't to die for I could make this my favorite place to eat but just their dessert and wine list alone." When it came to sweets it always take me forever to pick so I told Alex that it was up to him. "Everything looks good and if I had my way I would get a sampler of everything and seeing as that's not on the list, I think you should pick."

Turning my head towards Alex filled my nose with his scent. I loved the masculine heat that his body smelled of. It reminded me of the hot summer days in the woods of my childhood home. Without noticing that I was doing it I closed my eyes and leaned into him. My head resting on his shoulder as I buried my face into his neck. I took and deep breath in and sighed. I wanted very badly to run my hand thru his hair but refrained from it only to realize that I was snuggling in Alex's neck.

"Sorry." I leaned by again and moved my body over so we were no longer touching. I blushed and focused on the menu as if I was trying to pick what I wanted.

 

[Josu_T]

When she pointed out some of the wine options I wasn't quite sure what to say. I had never really learned much about particular brands of wine. I had no idea what the one she was indicating would be like. I usually just got whatever was suggested that was within my price range, which was never very high. I smiled at her comment about the restaurant though, glad she liked it.

When she told me to pick the dessert I looked over the options again. I was just about ready to make a choice when she distracted me. I stood still as she snuggled in close. It was a wonderful feeling. She smelled very pretty. I smiled until she pulled away, which caused it to fade. After a few seconds I regained my senses and cleared my throat. "No need to be sorry. Anyway, I think we could get cheese cake with some fresh berries. Or the tart. They would be easy to carry without much mess, and somewhat easy to eat." I could already imagine enjoying dessert with her. After her moment of closeness that involved possibly even feeding eachother like a couple. It might be wishful thinking, but I didn't care. When the waiter arrived I looked at Eden to confirm my suggestion.

 

[Orithyia]

I hadn't braved to look up yet but when the waiter came by and Alex had yet to say anything I gathered my courage and looked up. I noticed that he looked as me as if he was waiting for something. "Oh yes." The desserts. "I would love a chilled bottle of your Mazzetti moscato and..." I thought about it. "The tart sounds wonderful. To go thank you and the check." I nodded thanking the waiter as he left.

Soon enough the waiter was back with the packed tart and chilled wine bottle and the check. I paid in cash and left a very gracious tip before standing up. "Would you care to lead me to our night picnic?" I curtsied and offered my hand palm down in waiting. A playful smile on my lips as I waited for Alex.

 

[Josu_T]

I smiled as Eden placed our order. It would be great. I was really looking forward to the next part of our evening. I stayed where I was, close to her, until the waiter returned. I knew that I had told her she could pay, but I wanted to chip in at least a little. Before I could get my wallet out she had already placed money down and it was too late.

I got up and stepped away from the table. When she curtsied I smiled. I reached over and took her hand after a slight bow. "Of course, let's go." I took the bottle of wine with my free hand and let her carry the tart. A minute later we were walking across the street to the park. I enjoyed the feeling of her hand in mine. When we started walking through the trees I wondered if I should let go of her hand. I wasn't sure if she was feeling comfortable holding hands still. I decided that if she did she would just let go.

We wandered through the park and I looked around. It was getting darker as we went away from the streets. I was a little worried about someone being there who might have malicious intent, but I couldn't hear or see anything or anyone dangerous. Eventually there was a nice spot on the side of a small hill with trees blocking light from the city. A large gap in the tree canopy showed plenty of stars in the sky. It was the perfect spot. I stopped at smiled at Eden. "Let's stop here."

 

[Orithyia]

I was happy to see that Alex so nicely played and bowed in return to my curtsy. "Why thank you dear Sir." I smiled as he took both my hand and the wine bottle. I let him lead me out of the restaurant and to the park and thru the trees. I loved the way my hand felt in his and I wrapped myself around his arm without letting go of it.

I had been so fixated on the warm of his skin that I could feel that I almost jumped when he spoke. I quickly looked around my eyes adjusting to the dark. The area was slightly elevated with trees that blocked not only city lights but almost all surrounding buildings. Yet there was a break in the branches that gave them a perfect view of the stars. "It looks perfect." I left go of Alex and took off the sweater and spread it on the ground before I sat down. The way it was laid there was enough room for Alex if he didn't mind sit close to me.

"April 24 is the next meteor shower." I told Alex letting my mind relax and go where it pleased. At the moment it was capturing the image of Alex shadowed by the night as bright stars lit the outline of his body. From where I was sitting Alex looked like a God of old, one of passion, sensual pleasures and promised only whispered against your skin. The thought made me sigh and goosebumps dimpled my skin in what wasn't the cold.

I was staring and I knew it was rude but I didn't want to look away. I wanted more then I should have and if I was in a position where I could afford thoughts like the one I was having I would have gladly admitted that I was starting to like this man.

 

[Josu_T]

I was a little reluctant to sit since it meant her letting go of my arm, but it could also lead to better things. When she pulled away I watched her lay out her sweater. I stood there looking down at her for a while. She was beautiful. The way the stars caused her eyes to shine, the glow about her. She was truly the most beautiful woman I had ever met, at least in my eyes. There may have been women I had met who were more physically attractive, but every detail about her seemed perfect for me.

I slowly sat down next to her on the sweater. Because of the limited space I was already up against her. My arm went behind her, partially wrapped around her without intention. I set the wine down and looked at her again. A smile felt like it would be permanently stuck on my face because of her. "Maybe we should come here again during the meteor shower. I've seen the one in August, it is amazing." My eyes shifted up to the night sky and I sighed. After a couple of minutes I turned back to Eden. "Would you like to have the wine and the tart now?"

 

[Orithyia]

There was a look in Alex's face that I didn't understand but the way I reacted to it, the tightening of my stomach and the rapid heart beats, I didn't really care that I didn't know what it meant. When he sat next to me I only smiled noticing how my heart did a little flutter and turned my body so that it fit snugly in the curve of his body. I always imagined that having someone I could trust and just enjoy the quite moments of my life would feel like this.

"Sure." I said yet I didn't move from the curve of his body. I could have lounged against him the entire night but wine and tart did sound good. With a little sigh I sat up and unpacked the tart bag. In side there was the packed dessert, a pair of forks and even two cups for the wine and a bottle opener that I made sure to make a note of to return.

I handed Alex the bottle opener. "Would you please?" I asked holding the wine in my hands. The tart was unpacked and laid out between us with two forks tilted on the edges. The cups were place on either side of the dessert plate waiting to be filled.

 

[Josu_T]

The way we sat together was really comfortable and I felt very close to her in more than just a physical way. When she pulled away a little it was disappointing. It did mean we would enjoy the dessert and wine together though. I took the bottle opener from her and nodded. A moment later the bottle of wine was open. I took each of the cups and filled them. Then I set the bottle down.

I smiled at Eden and picked up my glass. "Should we have a small toast to this evening? To our time together?" I lifted my glass a little. I was excited for this part of the evening. The tart looked really good and she seemed to know about the wine and considered it to be good. Unlike the restaurant we also got to be very close to one another. That, for me, was the best part.

 

[Orithyia]

I settled back into Alex's body the moment he had the bottle down and the glass in this hand. "Yes to the time together and for you being my knight." I rose my glass to his and lightly clinked it against his. I put the glass to my lips and took a sip of the sparkling white wine, enjoying the way the bubbles played over my tongue. The taste was sweet and light with very little of that dry acidity to it. I hoped that Alex liked the wine and knew that at least it would go well with the tart if nothing else.

I watched the muscled and tendons in Alex's throat move from the slightly lower position I was sitting in. There was a certain freedom in this moment that I ached for all of a sudden. I knew the weakness in that thought but couldn't stop the want the moment it was planted in my mind. Even knowing that my hand reached up and lightly traced the column in Alex's neck.

"You can see draco." I pointed off to where it was without looking away from Alex.

 

[Josu_T]

I clinkedmyglass with hers at the toast. We drank together. She was right, it was good wine. My eyes remained locked on her. I sipped some wine again and wasn't sure what exactly she was looking at. Her touch along my neck sent a shiver through my body. It felt good. Our eyes met and I smiled at her words. She wasn't even looking. I gave a nod. "I know. Right by Ursa minor and major."

I looked at her closer. I felt desire building up. I was falling for her fast. My lip trembled slightly. My gaze slipped down to her lips and back up against to her eyes. My heart pounded in my chest, my breathing became lighter. I didn't notice. My whole focus was on her. "You know" I started to lean in closer to Eden. "Draco was once thought to represent the serpent who caused Adam and Eve to feel.....temptation." My mind did not fully realise the strength of the metaphor and even the connection with her name. It didn't really matter, it was coincidence. All I wanted at that moment was to kiss her.

 

[Orithyia]

I was impressed, he knew his stars and it scored him brownie points. "I'm impressed Mr. Alexander." His name fell from my lips sounding like a sin. He had his eyes on me and wasn't looking away as he continued talking. Telling me about draco and the snake, how he brought temptation to the garden of Eden. "Temptation you say." I smiled knowing that I was already more then tempted. "Should I point out that we happen to be in a garden and my name happens to be Eden?" I saw him lean into me and moved in as I spoke until I was mere millimeters from his lips. "Wasn't the lesson something like to give into temptation is a bad thing?" I whispered voice soft, knowing that he could feel the breath of my words against his lips.

To add to things my hands moved again up the side of his neck to the back of his neck where I played with the small curls there. Fingers gentle as I sent from playing with his hair to tracing Cyrillic script on his skin. "What else can you tell me about the stars?" I tested him wanting to know where his limit was and how long it would take for me to break it.

 

[Josu_T]

I smiled as she pointed out the continuation of the metaphor. Her next words were like torture though. As her hand went to my neck I swallowed hard. I wanted more. It seemed she wasn't going to just give in right away. I could have just kissed her, but I was worried about her reaction if I did. I stayed close to her and thought about which constelation to point out.

My arm extended up toward the night sky and I pointed at a constelation. "If you look carefully you may be able to see Cassiopeia. It is the W shape. She was named after a mythical queen who boasted about her beauty." i paused and smiled at her before adding, "There is one difference with you, you are more modest about your beauty." Before she could say anything about that I went on, my hand shifting a little. "Next to her is Andromeda, a princess who was chained to be eaten by a horrible beast. Fortunately," My hand shifted again to point at a third constelation. I still wasn't looking at them though, "She was saved by Perseus." I paused again, letting the similarities between our stories sink in. I hadn't saved her from death, but if she wanted to keep playing the rescuer card, I would play it too. "I can go on, if you want."

 

[Orithyia]

I knew what he was doing and found it outrageously cute. "You forgot Hercules right below draco." I pointed over my shoulder. "Hero of damsels in distress. A lot like someone I know." I smiled talking about him. "And lyra, vulpecula and cygnus mostly without stories of knights, heroes, queens or princesses. So all equally boring. Though it was said that the owner of the lyra, Orpheus, was killed during an orgy. Can't be a horrible way to die." I matched him assured that he could indeed keep going.

I hated that Alex had more control when I was willing to deal with right now. I wanted to know what he tasted like, how his lips would feel against mine. I shuttered with my want and sighed in frustration. I didn't want to be the one to give in first and kiss him, I didn't like to lose no matter what I won in the end. So I pulled my hand back and let my body follow. I was normally one with ironclad control and all the patience one could hope for but with Alex it seemed everything was in short demand.

A safe distance away and yet still pressed to his body I took the first bite of the tart and moaned. My eyes closed as my mouth slowly closed over the tines of the fork. The tart was delicious, maybe not moan worthy but one of the best I've ever tasted. The fork pulled from my mouth I licked my lips and opened my eyes grinning at Alex. "The tart isn't that bad." I teased knowing that he heard my moan, I didn't it for his benefit and made sure he would.

 

[Josu_T]

I smiled at her hercules comment. She then spoke about other constelations. It seemed our knowledge was matched. It wasn't important though. I wanted to kiss her. I had closed in and led up to it, but she hadn't closed the distance fully. I wasn't quite sure what to do. Then she pulled away with a strange look on her face. I didn't understand what I had done wrong. I was determined that the next time I had an opening I would take it and kiss her.

Her moan brought my attention back to her and I saw her enjoying the tart. She made it sound amazing. My gaze remained on her lips, but unfortunately she licked them, removing any traces of the tart and my next possible reason to kiss her. I looked down at the tart and got some on my fork. I lifted it and took a bite. It really was good, but not quite as good as she had made me think it was. I got some more on the fork and lifted it again, this time to her lips. I looked into her eyes with a smile. "It seemed to be even better for you. I wonder why. I want to try an experiment. Have this bite of tart, but this time don't lick your lips." I watched her, hoping she would do as I said. If she did I would have my chance and there was no way I was going to miss it again.

 

[Orithyia]

I wasn't sure what the purpose of taking a bite and not licking my lips were but I saw no problem with it. "Okay." I said slowly lowering my mouth to the fork. I kept my eyes on Alex's as I opened and closed my lips around the tart, pilling back to reveal a clean fork. I chewed a few times narrowing my eyes as I watched wondering where the trick was and what it would be. Not licking my lips proved to be harder then I thought. I could feel a few crumbs on my bottom lip and a thin coating of custard on my bottom. Still I did as he asked and swallowed my food.

"Now what?" I asked still not understanding why he asked me to do what I just did. Was it just for the pleasure to feed me and watch me eat it? Leaving evidence to know that it was true? I shrugged no longer caring. It didn't harm me and it didn't seem to harm him so I just let it go.

 

[Josu_T]

My eyes stayed on hers as she lowered and took the bite from the fork. This time there was no moan to go along with her tasting the tart. She didn't lick her lips either and I had to smile. I had my opportunity now. She questioned it, but I gave no answer. She would see soon enough. I moved closer in to her, my gaze on her lips. Once again my heart started to pound.

"Now my turn to taste," I mumbled before moving closer. A second later my lips were almost against hers. Closer than they had been before. I looked into her eyes. Then I kissed her. My lips pressed to hers. At first I felt a sense of triumph that I had actually done it. That quickly turned to pure joy and pleasure from the kiss. It lasted just a couple of seconds before I pulled back just a little. Our lips were still nearly touching.

 

[Orithyia]

It clicked when he mumbled about it being his turn to taste. Alex leaned in and hovered over my mouth. When he didn't finish the movement right away I could feel the swell of disappointment. I didn't have long to feel disappointed. His lips covered mine and my heart took off. It raced like a gray hound and I smiled thinking how Alex's kiss was my rabbit. For me the kiss ended too soon and I fought the urge to yank him back and deepen the kiss.

"Did it taste any better that way? I mean I'm not sure you got a very good taste." I didn't wait for Alex to move this time, I did. I brought my lips to his and took it a step further. I opened my mouth and let my tongue trace his bottom lip. It was another quick kiss but I wanted to see his face, see what he would having kissed him like that. "Should I have given you a bite of tart first before I kissed you?" I leaned back far enough to see the tart and loaded my fork with a bite that I held up for Alex. "Here let me try that again." I smile a glint of mischief sparkling in my eyes.

 

[Josu_T]

I smiled at her happily. It really had tasted better on her lips. Then, as she closed the distance again, I let my eyes drift shut. I felt her tongue along my lip. It sent a wonderful sensation through me. When she pulled back I had a look of joy on my face. That faded as she spoke. I was still happy though. I looked into her eyes and saw the mischief.

I leaned down and slowly took the bite of tart. I grabbed it with my teeth and raised my head again. I held the tart there between my lips as I looked at her. My gaze was inviting. I knew what I wanted her to do. I wanted her to come and share the dessert with me. It was getting harder with every passing second to hold it in place. She needed to hurry.

 

[Orithyia]

I saw what he did and what he wanted and thrilled at the chance to kiss again. I quickly moved and closed my mouth against his, the tart shared between us. I drew back a little to swallow. I wanted to kiss him like I meant it and the tart was just going to get in the way. I pressed my lips against Alex's again and sucked on his bottom lip. My hands needed to touch him and rested around the back of his neck. Without breaking the kiss I moved by body and was all but crawled into his lap.

My teeth light raked hit bottom lip as I pulled back to look at him. I had been sitting to the side of him but I had somehow crawled over the leg nearest to me and was settled between his legs facing him. One hand combed thru his hair and the other massaged the nape of his neck. I wanted more. I wanted to be Eden sweet girl who was shy and bashful but my passion killed thoughts of being slow and gentle.

"Oh wow." The hand combing thru his hair now daintily covered my lips and a blush colored my cheeks. "Sorry." I whispered. I had knocked over my wine glass and had almost taken out the tart. "You wouldn't believe hod much better that tart tasted with you." I tried laughing about it mentally stepping back from what I wanted. I made a thought to move back to where I had been almost decided not too but did nevertheless being careful not to harm the tart.

I held up my spilled and empty wine glass and made a face near to embarrassed. "I spilled my wine." I told Alex holding up my glass. The bottle was nearest to him and I was hoping that he would fill mine up again.

 

[Josu_T]

I pressed back against her as our lips met. We shared the bite of tart, but the kiss like that didn't last long. I swallowed the food and then our lips were together again. As our bodies started to move together my arms wrapped around her. I ended up contributing to her getting into my lap. I nipped and sucked at her lips as she did the same to mine.

When our lips parted I smiled at her. Her little embarrased display was really cute. I nodded in agreement that the tart tasted better like that. When she pulled back I felt some disappointment. She was a little confusing at times. She pulled me back from confusion when she held her glass out. I smiled and took the bottle. I looked into her eyes as I reached over and poured wine into her glass, using peripheral vision to avoid spilling. When I was done I grinned. "There, don't spill that too. We don't have much left for you to waste it."
