Spades who Stalk [Xenon] [DONE]

[Greenie]

When he began laughing, her distaste turned to a scowl; damnit, Hadrian was this man's. She should have known. Wasn't there some Club-in-Hearts scandal she'd heard of a while back? It was probably him. Suits knew the dog was enough trouble as an adult. "I've had that unfortunate opportunity, yes." Vess paused to grimace again. "He helps with Spades' gardens occasionally. He has some agreement with Donnie; I don't know the details. I avoid him at all costs. He had some weird liason with Anushka.. and anyone that safely associates with her is on my wary list." Not that Vessatha had any direct problem with the woman, but the two of them had never seen precisely eye-to-eye.

She rolled her eyes at his crude gesture, but it was more of amusement than disgust; someone was obviously used to being very forward. The ferret idly watched his fingers brush against hers, then abruptly flipped her hand over and grabbed his, idly examining his fingers. "Would it now. That doesn't surprise me in the least.. but they say you're never too old to learn something new.."

If that piece of information didn't make Apocalypse cringe a little inside, it seemed almost like nothing would. Hadrian having a liaison with anyone would be bad enough, especially since it would mean there was a potential for offspring. But some sort of tryst with the King of Clubs? Suits alive, it was almost more than the man could deal with, though he kept that off his face. "Strange woman. Would have thought she'd go for someone more interesting than that fluff-brained dolt," he muttered under his breath, then shook his head.

In Apocalypse's case, it was more a dislike of Hadrian that made this news truly cringe-worthy. He didn't really like Anoushka, either, but that was mostly by fault of her being a Club, irrational as he knew his bias to be.

Oh well, there was something much more interesting that was demanding his attention right now, and that was the look of vague amusement on the woman's face as he indicated exactly what he thought they should be doing with their time. He paused as she grabbed his hand, letting her run her fingers across his own, then he slowly moved it, brushing his fingertips across her cheek and then down beneath her chin.

"The first stage in any good scandal," he intoned in a serious voice, looking her dead in the eye as he lifted her head lightly to meet his eyes. "Is location. After all, if I were to take you to my bedroom, no one would be the wiser as to what has happened between us. I suggest we stay here; there's a much better chance of being discovered." His grin went wicked, eyes lighting up. "How hard will I need to work to make you scream?"

[[Just letting you know: I laughed so hard when Vess responded to this. So. Hard. Also: Stop here or continue?]]

Vessatha rolled her eyes again, and simply shrugged. "I don't try to figure it out. Sometimes Clubs are worse than.." She paused, and slowly grinned. ".. Hearts." Sure, the Hearts were known for causing trouble, but who said the other Suits couldn't pitch in now and then?

She leaned into the caress, her grin fading into a content smirk. She liked getting what she wanted, and met his gaze without blinking. "Discovery? You are asking for trouble." The ferret didn't budge an inch though, or protest; if he wanted to get risky, she wasn't about to back down. "Scream? Haven't you ever heard it's the quiet ones you have to worry about?" Vessatha just smirked.

What an interesting woman this King of Spades was. In some ways, Seth had given Apocalypse a bit of a poor opinion of the rest of his suit, certainly unfair. Vessatha, with all of her coy smiles, teasing words, and daring invitations was doing quite a lot to improve his opinion. She was, after all, a noble, which in his mind put him as a representative of higher worth than the big Bat ever could be.

His fingers continued to work over her cheek, nails digging through the fur until they found skin, which he scratched idly at for a long moment. A small smile tugged at his lips when she spoke, his hand moving slowly across her throat. Then his expression went thoughtful. "I suppose I would attribute my desire to cause trouble to the fact that I am a Heart. It's exactly as you've said, I'm afraid," In this case, he would go with her teasing words rather than get offended by the comparison to Clubs. Making trouble was, after all, something he did very nicely.

Then he leaned in, touching the place he'd been brushing his fingers through the fur of her cheek before with his nose, his breath soft on her skin. Teeth lightly replaced that soft touch, nibbling very lightly at the woman's jawbone. "You know, I've never actually heard that before," he said quietly, pausing to grin. "Perhaps you can show me exactly what you mean, then."
