Complete avoidance [open]

[Tigeress]

He watched her carefully, a pleasantly neutral smile appearing on his face as he wondered how she would react to his obvious show of personality. No use hiding what he was or what was on his mind, she'd probably appreciate that more later, if things were going like he thought they were going. Which was, very well... for him, anyway. There was a flush that came to her cheeks now and again, and it wasn't anything to do with blushing, but something about the way he was acting seemed to get her blood flowing.

Lively little thing, for someone looking to feel alive. He liked that flush of anticipation, and was all too happy when she looked around the bar with obvious dismay and boredom in her eyes. It was rather unfortunate smelling, and the air felt thick with sweat and beer and possibly other things. He assumed it wouldn't be too unusual for two people to find a corner in their drunken state and have a little fun, it was dark and hazy, and if he didn't have such unusual tastes, he might have considered it himself.

But as it stood, he had a place to go in town now, and it was very soundproof, as a request. It had really been his only housing requirement. Less questions and angry neighbours that way.

"I don't know what your idea of excitement is, but I have a pretty good idea of my own. You could come with me, and see if my idea of excitement is what you're looking for?" He suggested, one eye raising as his naturally low voice took on an even painfully deeper tone that sounded like it should have hurt his throat to produce. A few teeth gleamed through in a smirk, his eyes dangerously bright again as he lept off the stool and onto the ground, making a glance back towards her, the comment in his eyes clearly asking 'are you coming?'.

Lariel watched him watch her, and felt her body flush again. Things were progressing, and fast; and she liked it. What the hell was wrong with her tonight? She wasn't the type of female to have her head turning just because of male attention. Perhaps it was the promise of what this male could offer her. She was experienced enough to know what got her engines going, but it had been ages since any Card had made her this flustered, without even doing anything! There was something exciting about a hint of danger, though deep in her mind Lariel knew how many Cards had taken the wrong path by being an adrenaline junkie.

His idea of fun? Lariel watched him jump off the stool with powerful grace and turn back to look at her. With her heart pounding in her ears, the bobcat took a final gulp of her drink and leapt off the stool after him. The piece of her homeland bounced on the ground behind her as she trailed after Rindel, chiming as though a warning bell that should have been going off in her head.

Ignoring her sense of self preservation, she grinned at the cat ahead of her and leisurely caught up to him; wouldn't want him to think she was too eager.
"I'm not sure I know what my idea of a good time is," she mumbled, mostly to herself. "But I'm willing to find out what yours is..."

[Tigeress]

He could almost see a conversation forming in her head; her versus herself of course, or perhaps her versus her common sense. Either way, she was winning, or rather... he was winning, and he did so love winning over the hard to get ones. It just made it all the more satisfying later. His tail waved rhythmically behind him, showing the amusement that his face usually couldn't display without some sort of smug malice.

When finally she lept down, his pulse sped up and everything in his body seemed to jump with excitement. He had her. Pacing himself calmly, he began off ahead of her, knowing she would catch up to him at her own pace, playing her own game to his. The tenseness to her body and the slight blush of colour under her fur told him she was excited. If she were closer, he would have probably felt heat radiating off of her to confirm his suspicions. She didn't know yet what she was getting into, and she'd tried to be cautious, but she had just thrown caution to the wind.... and it was exhilarating.

Willing? Oh, too bad. Well, she may be willing now, but later.... that was a whole different story...

"That's good to hear, I think you might find it to be... enjoyable." And if not, oh well. She could scream all she wanted, he'd made sure his modest abode had been designed for such things. Pushing out through the door, the night air hit him like a cold fist, but he shrugged it off with a slight exhale of breath before continuing in the direction that would take them to his place. It wasn't far at all, but it was a bit away from most of the clustered buildings. He liked that it was set apart slightly, that way nobody could hear anything going on and more importantly, nobody would have any reason to be snooping around and looking inside.

With her walking next to him, his eyes wandered from time to time, but he made sure not to be too obvious just yet. She seemed to excited by his form of subtle and then not so subtle tempting and hinting.

The suggestion in his voice made her smile. Not the kind of smile you would see on someone who just received happy news, but a smile on someone who is about to get their way. Having caught up easily, she walked noiselessly next to him as they headed towards the door. Another shiver of trepidation ran down her spine, warning her against these decisions...which she ignored. It wasn't as if she were a simpering little girl. She knew how to take care of herself, though besting a feline as big as this one might prove a bit difficult.

Her thoughts were swept away by the night air as the front door was opened. Letting him lead her down the road, she spared a glance at the surroundings. Not much to see; a few broken bottles lined the dilapidated buildings they passed and trash was in abundance. It wasn't the best part of town, but Lariel liked it here. It was...relaxed and laid back. Exactly what she wanted on most days. What she wanted tonight was walking a few steps ahead of her, leading them presumably to wherever he slept. If she had her way, neither of them would be getting much sleep tonight.

"I don't mind a good walk, but how far is it to where we're going?" she asked, her tail swaying behind her in a calm rhythm to cover up the fast beat of her frantic heart.

Her eyes scanned the area, and she seemed strangely unbothered by how dingy this part of town was. He knew he lived in a shady part of town, but the saving grace for him seemed to be that while he lived in town, his small house was kind of set away from the rest of them. It was old and foreboding in it's own right, but that was kind of up his alley. More than once this walk home had made a few women change their minds, and unfortunately it was too open for him to normally get the chance to make them change it back.

His blood rushed upon the realization that he was a predator. He was that person you didn't want to let your daughter near. He was the one who gave beautiful little femmes nightmares to the point where they would not let anyone else touch them ever again. And it was wonderful. The power, the control he had over the people he took home, and oh, he wasn't picky sometimes. He'd started leaning towards androgenous little males with the bodies of women and the attitudes of meek, frightened mice.

They reminded him of someone he used to dominate in a different fashion... His eyes darkened for a moment, but he shook it off as he turned a corner, the rise of a slight hill displaying the charcoal bricked house at the top, sheltered by a few trees which displayed their age rather shamelessly, barely clinging to a few last branches darting out from the worn bark.

"Not much longer. Right up there, actually." His voice was almost too calm, too even, and if one knew signals the way Rindal knew signals, they might have picked up the effort it took for him to control his voice and his expression.

When they had ascended the small hill, he opened the door for her, glancing about and ushering her inside. The old wallpaper on the walls was often shades of warm reds and oranges, stained mostly in tie-dye patterns where age and water damage had gotten through. The staircase was a bit different and out of place, the wood looked new and dark and rich, the same colour of the walls that peeked through at the last stair to the second floor.

"After you." He allowed a small smirk as he silently clicked the locks closed behind him, using his expression to draw her attention away from the small, slightly conspicuous action. He didn't like the prospect of being interrupted...

Rindal liked the idea of watching her go up the stairs ahead of him, to admire her backside and to indulge his predator instincts of chasing his prey, pouncing upon her, and then taking what he would.

Lariel had been looking around at the surroundings, realizing this might be a good place to set up some new clientèle. She didn't lack for customers, but a good business person was always looking for promising new opportunities. The place was shady enough she could carry on her business here without too many questions.
It wasn't until they reached the bottom of the small incline that Lariel concentrated on what was before them. Up the little hill stood a house framed on each side by old and withered trees. The framing effect it had on the house was daunting, not to mention the house's color. You didn't see dark gray brick often.

Even before he'd indicated to the house, Lariel knew that was their destination. It just seemed to fit this Card's outer persona. Her concentration was on the house and not on Rindal, so the bobcat had missed the strain in the cat's voice. Lariel was surprised when the door was opened for her, but silently padded inside. The inside of the house definitely didn't match it's innards. The warm color of the red walls, or walls that used to be a uniform shade of red, professed a welcoming presence that was simply lacking at the moment. Maybe it was the dilapidated paint, but the attempt at a welcoming atmosphere was more sad now that it gave a feeling of quite the opposite.

Lariel heard the locks click on the doors and slowly turned around to look at him. She could see the predator behind the eyes and stared it down. Adding the locked doors to the look in those eyes....and Lariel knew she had walked into something more than what she'd had planned. Well, she was flexible and apparently this cat underestimated her. That was fine; he would find out differently not too long from now.

The bobcat turned away from him, purposefully showing him her back, and ascended the stairs. Once she reached the second floor she looked down the hallway. "Which way to the dungeon? Lariel had turned to watch him ascend the last few steps, and to see if his face registered anything at the way she'd worded the question.

((Could someone be a dear and move this to mature so I can post a reply? Don't want to smut up the friendly boards, now ))

[Lauryn de Vampyre]

So...I guess we're not going to be able to get this moved?

And it was just getting good! [winks]
Also, how far and graphic are we allowed to take things in the Mature RP section?

[Tigeress]

I'll just start a new thread as a continuation, I hope we still get points as if it was all one thread :/.
I'll assume as it's the Mature board there are very few limitations, I guess it depends on the admin and members' squeamishness... so again with the few limitations XD. That's just my guess though <3.
