Now Rogers was close enough to smell the man, feathers and leather and a bit of sweat, which made his fur positively stand on end for a minute as he took a sniff. He wasn't obvious about it, stood where he was and just breathed deeply for a second while Rosewood spoke. Ever since Theo figured out just how good that sense was, he'd poked fun at it constantly. Still, there was something to be said for someone who smelled good. With circumstances as they were, he might be so bold as to call the swan "delicious". Mmm, leather. He often mourned the fact that his briefcase wasn't real leather, but he just wasn't willing to spring for the real stuff. Yet. It tempted him often.
Still, this was far more tempting. "I'm interested in just about anything you're willing to discuss," he replied with a hopeful look. And that smile seemed a bit more genuine than the last one, which was even better. He'd learned to read avian expression pretty well for someone who wasn't a bird. After all, Theo and just about his whole family were of the feathered persuasion.
He was even feeling good enough to risk being stupid in public. "I'd say you've already managed to chase the clouds away, but that would be pretty odd. So, ah. You're succeeding?" He offered a sheepish grin and followed the swan.

Well that was just far too perfect. The swan grinned as he pulled Rogers along. "Well, I hope to do more than chase clouds away," Rosewood said quietly. There was no letting this one walk away from him so easily. He was smart, obviously worked a successful job, and was adorable. Letting Rogers slip through his fingers would be a disservice to his manhood.
One of the other strippers was about to stop the pair until Rosewood waved a hand dismissively. It was the universal signal of "leave the diva alone when he's working." Most of the others wouldn't bother him now that he made the single. It was great being skilled, most people left you alone because of it.
They came to a room in the "back" of the strip club. It looked like a storage close it, but when Rosewood unlocked it (heaven only knows where he was keeping the key) it was a rather comfortable looking room with a large plush sofa and a few decorations on the walls. "Take a seat Rogers," Rosewood offered.
A bit of twenty questions first. "So, I have to know if a man like you is taken," he said with a smile, looking the canine in the eyes. Please say no.

Rogers happily let himself be drawn out of the public area and down a hall to what looked like a very unremarkable door. Watching Rosewood produce a key out of his rip-off pants was rather fun, though, and the room looked a whole lot more comfortable than he'd been expecting. It wasn't like anyone in a place like this had ever dragged him into the back before. He'd never really had the balls to ask them before. Usually he stuck to bars for his pick-ups. Customers were definitely out.
He sat down on the couch, which promptly half-swallowed him with its exceedingly comfortable stuffing. He couldn't help but give a small sigh of approval. His own apartment had... less than top-quality furniture. He'd found most of it at bargain sales and on the side of the road with 'free' signs attached. It was still serviceable, for all that it wasn't the most comfortable or attractive stuff out there. By far.
The question surprised him a little bit, probably because it was one of the last things he'd ever expected to be asked, probably just because it was so ridiculous inside his head. Him, taken? Hah. Not for a while, more's the pity.
...those eyes were really lovely. They made the man so much more 'approachable', if that was the right word. Appealing, too. "I've got to say, that one's a pretty big 'no'. I haven't been in anything vaguely resembling a relationship for... oh, years now." He smiled in a slightly self-deprecating manner, then raised an eyebrow. "How about you, then? Is somebody going to catch me outside the club and beat the crap out of me for daring to touch your hand?" The question was said lightly and in jest... mostly. That kind of thing only had to happen once before you got wary.

"Ha!" Rosewood snorted as he shut and locked the door behind him. "A diva like me is generally untouchable. No man would have me." The swan said as he slowly walked across the room. He wasn't taken, but did he have someone on the side perhaps? People were sometimes dishonest about some things.
"I man like you isn't taken, which means that you're not seeing anyone at all? You're free to have relations with anyone you feel like?" Rosewood drew closer to the canine. He stopped when his face was a few inches away from the canines. "I don't want to be lead on, you see. I've had quite a few bad experiences with clients, you understand I hope?"
Rosewood waited for a response, almost holding his breathe. He didn't want another person to slip through his fingers. Smart, obviously interesting, and not hard on the eyes. How was he free? There had to be some horrible catch!

Rogers caught his breath a little as the swan moved closer, very much inside his personal bubble... which was pretty much exactly where he wanted him, barring those few precious inches. Damn, but the man smelled good. He just couldn't help but think about it, not when he was leaning in that close and it was practically wafting off of him.
"I'm sorry to hear that," he said a little more breathlessly than he'd planned on. "But I swear, about the only thing I've got is a hopeless crush, and the 'hopeless' bit has pretty much steered me away. And, well, you're helping right now. I've gotta say, you smell incredible."
He wanted to touch. Oh man, did he want to touch. Not... until he had 'permission' though. It just wouldn't be right. That 'no man would have me' bit echoed a little in his head at the peripherals and he couldn't help but think how very, very much he wanted to add a footnote to that. Something involving 'except' and 'one very interested dog'.

Well then. That was all the swan needed to take this just a bit further. "Why thank you very much," Rosewood smiled as he carefully leaned the canine back a bit so he could take a proper straddle on the man's lap. "Now I have two more questions for you before we have any fun." He tapped the canine on the nose with a finger. His attention was needed just for a bit longer before Rosewood would do anything.
"How much do you want to have a boyfriend? What would you be willing to do for one?" He might as well throw it out there. If he got a truthful response, well that was all the better. The swan wasn't going to get his hopes up though, as much as he wanted to. A lot of people failed to go through with promises. He just wanted one person to succeed.

Rogers had to just about swallow the eager whining noise that wanted to escape from his throat as the man pushed him carefully back into the plush cushion and straddled him. There was a Very Sexy Man sitting on him. In tear-away pants. And he wanted him to answer serious questions. Ahaha.
He forced his brain to cooperate, wishing his body wasn't reacting quite so strongly. It was no easy feat, what with how long it had been since the last time. Still, he wasn't a slave to his lusts. Case in point: he'd done nothing more than oggle and flirt at and tease Theo, despite the vast number of opportunities he'd had to push the envelope. That had been a test of willpower sometimes, to be sure. The man was damned attractive. This was something else altogether, though.
Boyfriend. That was asking a lot for the first - well, second - meeting. Still, the question deserved an answer. First answer... 'a lot'. I've had enough of being lonely all the time. Second answer, also 'a lot'. But I mean, I'd have to get to know you a little better first." He twitched a little, realizing that could be taken all sorts of ways. Well, that was fine. He meant it all sorts of ways, he supposed.

Rosewood chuckled. His smile wasn't about to go away anytime soon. "Well then. Tonight we'll get to know each other one way, and tomorrow if you're free we can get to know each other another way perhaps? Over dinner would be nice. Now, however I suppose I should focus on the present."
A smirk was now on Rosewood's face as his fingers began to pop a few of Roger's buttons. Getting his pants off would be a problem, wouldn't it? Oh well. He would come to that problem when he came to it. The shirt would be first then, and he would have to see where it went from there.
--
Well. It was a good thing he remembered to lock the door. A smirk was still plastered on the swans face as he sat on the sofa besides the canine. "How well do you know me now?" He couldn't help himself from humming happily.

Rogers sprawled happily on the couch, sitting up with his head tilted as far back as it would comfortably rest on the cushions. His tail thumped once, lazily, before he raised his head to look at Rosewood. He could see his shirt at the end of the couch and his pants thrown a little ways away on the floor, which made him want to laugh a little except not. He should know better than to let it go that long, really. But gods, did it make everything more fun when he finally did get it. And Rosewood was a top. That was even better.
"Well enough to take you out to dinner tomorrow, and wish that it wasn't just dinner," he answered with a grin. "Or in a private place. Or that you would be wearing the pants I got to watch you snap off."
He scooted up a tiny bit straighter and leaned against the swan, taking a small sniff at his neck. Oh yes, this was a smell he could manage. It made him wonder what the man would smell like fresh out of a shower. Everyone smelled different when they were clean. "I get off work around five-thirty tomorrow," he offered.
