Many people considered Aki lazy. He'd like to make it known that no, he wasn't lazy -- he saved power. Efficiently, thanks very much. Who knew when he'd find the chance to thrill-chase? He'd need that energy then, wouldn't he? The man was skinny with long legs, clad in tight black jeans, and boots that buckled on the sides. He wore a faded t-shirt and a leather jacket that hung on his shoulders, a little too big but he liked it that way. His bob tail flicked silently behind him and ears a little too large to look normal swiveled back and forth atop a choppy mess of ruby red hair. He was pretty -- he knew that. He liked that fact that he'd inherited his looks from both his parents... He tossed his head back with a silent laugh, bangs falling into green eyes that seemed bored or maybe distracted. Or both. In his hand he held a book, held out at arm's length, and he read as he walked, carelessly, casually. The book was full of murder, horror, blood and guts and action -- he loved action. He grinned widely as he read an exceptionally thrilling part, though his eyes skimmed over the top of the book. After finishing the chapter, he slipped it into the bag thrown recklessly over his shoulder, then headed for the bar. He wasn't social, but he could use a drink...
---
The day was long, and rather boring. Her brothers had played more stupid tricks on ‘half-breeds’ and her more simple-minded had clung around her mother’s sick bed (as always), so Tempette was alone. Not that she minded what the boys did to other cats… it just was… the same damned thing. She was tempted to go take her shift early at the casino, hell perhaps one of the body guards could entertain her… but the sound of music called her into the impeding darkness of one of the sleazy bars on the outskirts of the plaza. At least here she would be able to –hopefully- pick up on some half witted boy, and make him worship her. Tempette ordered her typical drink –high in cranberry, low on alcohol- which in itself looked like one of those fruity things that are at least 90%. She put on her best sexy/wanting some fun and made eye contact with everyone that walked in the door, waiting for just the right type of person.
---
Aki strode through the doors easily, one thumb looped in his beltloop and the other holding the bag over his shoulder. He caught the eye of a sassy looking girl and his frown turned into a small smirk as he let his green eyes wander up and down her body. Pretty, if he did say so himself... Shrugging one shoulder, he tilted his chin back and headed straight for the bar, ordering a rum and coke -- he disliked fruity drinks for the most part -- they were girly, after all -- and the hard stuff burned his throat. He hopped up onto a barstool and waited, and when the drink came he played with the ice, one finger stirring the mixture before he sipped at it -- deliberately ignoring the pretty girl.
---
Tempette made eye contact, singling out her prey the moment he walked in the door. Mmm a bad boy. She watched his movement, eyes hungry, then noticed how he –deliberately- ignored her. Temp wasn’t sure whether or not she should be amused, or turned off. The femme shrugged her pretty shoulders, and finished her drink, cleverly thinking of which way she could turn this in her favor. With a contented purr she leaned over the bar, pressing her rather ample cleavage on the freshly polished bar, and flirted with the bartender. If the pretty boy wanted her attention, then he better get his a** over here. She folded her legs over each other, obviously ‘deep’ in conversation with the bartender, and slid her hand lightly over her thighs as though smoothing down her skirt (but really allowing it to go higher) flashing a garter and the lacy tops of her fishnets.
---
Aki slumped over the bar, picking at the wood top with one hand and stirring his rum and coke with the other, a straw sticking out of the glass. He swirled it around, contemplating pulling out his book. But no. He was here to socialize...right? He glanced around, to all the people in the bar, some of them smoking. He wrinkled his nose at this, keeping himself in an invisible box on his chair. He didn't like it particularly when random people touched him -- call it a phobia of sorts. He did, however, notice when the sassy girl pressed her breasts up against the bartop. One slender eyebrow raised, looking her over once again. She was definitely sexy...and looking for something. He tried to return to picking at the bar -- she was talking with the bartender, anyways, he didn't want to bother her -- oh...but maybe he did. He pulled his ears back, then placed both hands on the bartop and looked at her. "Hello there, babygirl..." His voice was a husky drawl, green eyes alight with an interest.
---
The girl, slowly… unhurridly looked over at the boy addressing her, (after all who else would be babydoll in this run downed piece of crap bar?) a smirk forming in her head. Sooo not gay after all, he took the bait. She raised a perfect eyebrow in his direction, taking her time to look up and down his body just as he had done to her, before finally saying in her purring alto voice… “hello yourself.” And turning back to the bartender. Oh she was being mean, but that if anything would bring the little poppet closer. She traced the rim of her drink with her fingertip lightly, brining it to her mouth and letting the slender thing run along her tongue. She let a amber eye look up through the fall of her crimson hair (wig) and stare right at Aki, before tucking it behind her ear and ‘doting’ on what ever it was the bartender was yacking about.
---
His ears quirked back as she looked at him -- damn, she was almost as careful in her movements as he usually was... This brought a smirk to his thin lips. At her voice he nodded, brushing red hair from his eyes, though it fell back stubbornly. As she turned back to the tender, acting as if he wasn't there, he felt a rush of fury bristle to the surface -- though he never let it show. He was collected as he downed the rum and coke and placed the cup back on the bar before slipping off the stool and standing. Slowly, cautiously, he sauntered up next to her, placing a slender hand on her shoulder before grinning down at her. "I'm Aki." He would get his way...one way or another.
---
Tempette cocked her eyebrow and tuned her head, -after all what else could she do?- Her calm and collected gaze drifted from his hand slowly up his arm, and finally to his face... his eyes, her face remained im passive, her eyes revealing nothing. "Pleasure to meet you." She let a hint of a smile light in her eyes, before -gently- removing his hand from her shoulder, and turning back to the bartender... who was flushed, either from anger or... excitement. Tempette often had to deal with impatient customers, so what was one boy at the bar?
"I need a refill." She said quietly, letting a purr linger in the air around her where she non-uncomfortably managed to look quite at home between the two boys.
---
He shot her a grin, his eyes twinkling, though the hair on the back of his neck was still bristled from her earlier avoidance of him... Although, to be honest, he'd avoided her first. So what was it? A little game? He purred low in his throat, running a hand through his hair smoothly as she plucked his hand from her shoulder and let it drop. He was quick to grasp her arm and spin her towards him, his green eyes glittering with curiousity. "I'd be willing to buy you a refill...for a little of your time, babygirl..." he replied softly. "Or do I have to kiss you in order to get a little bit of your affections...?" His tone was teasing.
---
"I think the best option would be to buy me a drink." She said softly, her own eyes flashing something dark... dangerous even, filled with a darker promise. She tugged her arm away, laughing, the sudden tension gone from between them. "but it seems someone has already got me one." She heard the clink just as she said so, she turned and smiled at the bartender, giving him a wink and picking up the drink. "Your going to have to do better then that darling. I like a bit of force behind the threat." Casually, as if she always came here, Tempette sipped her drink and sat up on the bar, flashing the top of her thigh highs again. "either that or a gentle, kind, type of man." fleetingly she glanced in the direction of the bartender, who flashed a shy smile and blushed. Tempette was pretty sure she was going to have free drinks for quite awhile if she played this juuust right.
---
He saw the darkness lurking there -- and he wasn't frightened. He was rarely frightened... This was a thrill if he'd ever saw one and, being a thrill-seeker, this was pure adrenaline. It pounded in his ears, and he smirked again, eying the bartender. He had two choices: One: he could eliminate that man from her line of sight and get her to see him and only him (although he wasn't in the mood to get his hands dirty, nor was he really a brawling type of man...) Or Two: He could win her the hard way. He gave a little, almost exasperated sigh. "Only if I must," he grinned, then grabbed her chin in between his fingers and placed a daring, hungry kiss on her lips. This move surprised him -- he wasn't usually so...bold? Nor did he actually favor touch over being left alone to his own devices. "There's plenty more where that came from."
---
Tempette knew this game, oh how she loved to play it with her customers. She almost knew exactly what options ran through his head. Sitting up on the bar she was just a few inches shorter then him, thus when he came in for the kiss she had to decide. Would she come back later to this place?... more then likely not, so she tilted her head up, her fluffy tail swishing against the bar, and lightly brushing the bartender leaning forward as if to stop Aki from moving closer. She parted her lips under his, while wrapping a single leg around his hip. (You could definitely tell that Tempette was Alice's daughter, regarding flexibility and how she used it.) She watched his face curiously, another smirk forming in her mind. "oh honey, you just hit the tip of the iceburg." ... and your going down.
---
Aki wasn't aware of her...profession. Or her adept skill at doing what she did. All he cared about was getting what he wanted, even if the signals were mixed in his mind. He'd never...been with another girl...or guy, for that matter. He was reacting out of instinct and his own witty thoughts prodding him on. A self-satisfied smirk rose to his lips as her long leg wrapped around him and he nipped at her lower lip as the kiss broke off. "Maybe I like the tip of the iceburg," he murmured with a devilish look in his green eyes. "You're rather cute, in my book...and I don't look at people too often..."
---
She pouted, blinking her amber eyes up at him through her lashes "sadly". "im only cute. Perhaps you don't really want me then." She disregarded his comment about not looking at people much,because obviously that was easy to change. Still looking sulky she picked up her glass and downed the rest of it, before unraveling herself from him. "to think, if you weren't so bad with words who knows where this would have gone." She stood up, now only to about his neck -with heels on- and teetered away... pretending to be more drunk then she was. A smirk formed on her face when the door was in sight.
3....2.... any moment now he would come after her, maybe try to lead her outside, or back to the bar... either way, it was her game and she was setting the rules.
---
He watched her in surprise, mouth dropping open a fraction, though he was quick to reacess and snap it shut, forcing a frown upon his lips. What was she expecting, compliments out the ying yang? His lip rose at the thought -- he wasn't socially inept, but he also wasn't skilled with words -- this much was obvious. His hackles bristled and his ears layed back as she sauntered away. He caught the fact that she teetered -- it made him think that maybe this wasn't over yet. If he could catch her off guard... Leaving his glass on the counter, he swiftly walked after her, catching her arm with his. "I think you underestimate me," he growled out softly, giving her a push towards the wall -- ears pricked high and bobtail giving a wag. "And what I want."
---
The girl only half struggled, giving in and going limp, she allowed herself to be pressed up against the wall, hiding a smile behind the red hair she had so cleverly worn out. "How do I underestimate you?" Her voice was amazingly clear, though she wanted to laugh, and match the smile she so cleverly hid. She peeked up at him, her clear amber eyes reaching his green, playing on the good -very sexy- submissive. "and what are your intentions A... ?" She frowned, as though trying to remember his name... not that she ever forgot -Tempette was amazing at names, she had to be considering she was also a bartendress when she chose to be- "Im sorry what was your name again?" A small smile formed on her lips, betraying how she had so 'cleverly' acted throughout these little scenes/disputes they seemed to keep having.
---
He expected more fight out of her than this -- he was surprised when she allowed herself to be pushed around a little. Her hair covered her face, vivid red and beautiful...fiery. "Just do," he chuckled, pulling her hair from her eyes to stick it behind her ears, looking over her face -- surveying her. He smiled a lazy grin. "Oh my intentions are simple for now, babygirl... I just wanted your attention. Look, now I've got it. We can play nice together, now can't we?" His voice was a purr, though her frown made him falter. "Aki." It was simple to forget names... Aki himself only memorized the ones he felt needed -- family. He didn't have close friends, so no need for names. "Shall you accompany me on a walk, pretty girl?" He took one of her hands in his, giving it a playful tug.
---
Tempette smiled, "Depends on where your taking me and what you plan to do along the way." She didn't particuarly belive he was just wanting her attention, but then you had to consider her profession. Who wanted her company that didn't want her to do some dirty little tricks for them? She sighed and pouted. "You going to suggest somewhere to take the 'pretty lady' and try to play with her mind... how original. Well this pretty lady has a name thank you very much, and if your a good boy, perhaps I'll tell it to you later." She tugged her hand out of his and sauntered through the door -now that she knew he was leaving anyway-
---
"Just for a walk, rest assured." He smiled at her, though to be honest, he was hopelessly lost. He'd never had a girl like -her- before... Not in the least. She was sassy and self-assured and knew how to play this game, a game that he maybe wasn't so great at... It kept his heart pounding in his head. "I'd apologize for the kiss I gave you, but...can't say I'm sorry about that." He tossed red hair from his face with the flick of his hand. As she pulled away, striding through the door like she owned it, he hurried after her, ears and eyes trained on the sexy little kitten. "A name, huh? Well, until I get that name, I'll just have to give you nicknames... What about Rose?" He chuckled.
---
The female didn't look back, or at him when he ran towards her. She knew he would come, like a kitten to a saucer of milk. Silly boy. "Never much liked roses, they are too generic." She didn't even -look- at him. "im a bit more exotic don't you thing... more rare, expensive." She said the last word with a purr, drawing out her e, before flicking the piece of hair that had fallen into her face. "You can call me Lilith, everyone does... its my ... stage name." She giggled with the last word... oh if only he knew, her stage was this whole damned town. Without really realizing it, as though she was on a timer Tempette headed in the direction of the Casino, sashaying on her spiked heels. "Perhaps if you try hard enough, and be a good boy I'll let you escort me to work."
---
Aki looped his fingers in the beltloops of his jeans as he strode after her, several paces behind her but still being -with- her. His shoulders slumped a little, but he stood tall otherwise. His tail flicked to the side, back and forth, in a mixture of curiosity and slight annoyance. "Everyone likes roses," he murmured softly. He even liked their thorns, however much they hurt. He smiled, then shrugged. Ah well, each their own. "Like what?" His nose wrinkled. "Diamonds? Pearls? ...Lilith... Goddess of the Underworld. Nice. Fits...in a strangely beautiful way." He smirked at this. "What, are you a stripper or something?" He caught up with her, walking side by side with her now, his stride lengthening. Green eyes glittered. "Good boy." He gave a small huff. "Like I'm bad."
---
Tempette laughed, a smirk lighting on her face. "try a high priced escort. Best you will ever have. Get me and my brother together and you will be screaming with pleasure within fifteen min guaranteed." She sounded like she was rattling off something she had recited many times... and quite possibly she had. "roses are boring. Men that give them are just going for the same generic bullshit.Because they don't want to splurge on something nicer. Pearls... Diamonds..." She laughed, shaking her head. "As Generic, if not more so, then the rose. Dear little Aki your going to have to do better then that if you want to hook a nice, big, fish." She said the last word stopped right in front of him, looking up and grinning.
She shook her head, ruffling the Black Cherry curls and laughed once more to some inside joke that he wouldn't understand, and stalked away. Let him fallow, she had something up her sleeve.
---
LykosEcho (7:26:23 PM): One slender brow raised into his hairline at her words. Escort, and not a cheap one, either. Ah well. "Of course. You get what you pay for..." But, to be honest, he wasn't sure if he'd be comfortable in bed with her...and her brother. That was a little kinky. Either way he shrugged. "I'd say you'd be worth the money, though..." spoken with a small smirk, though it slipped off his face as she turned towards him, stopping, dark red hair framing her face. She was beautiful, he'd give her that...but was she worth the exasperation he felt mounting in his gut at her...spicy behavior? For now. "Hn. Perhaps I'll have to ponder something precious." But he followed anyways.
---
The girl bobbed along, debating at the mouth of an alley which way to go, straight to the casino... so somewhere she could torment him a bit before hand? Of course, being the little -sometimes- sadist she was, Tempette deliberately missed her turn and headed in the direction of the park, sauntering along with a swish of the tail. "Oh im worth every penny darling."
The sun made the highlights look real in her wig, bringing out her pale complexion, the curls lightly touching her bare shoulders, it was like dangling a cherry in front of a starving man. she lightly fingered the tips of the hair, her gaze drifting over their surroundings, making note of the humans and children playing about in the park where she lead them. No fun. Once more she thanked Denali in her mind for getting her wigs custom made, no sloppy mishaps when with customers... sighing she looked around, finding her landmarks easily and disappearing behind a giant oak tree. Time to play.
---
Aki followed her quickly, curiousity enough to keep him going even on this wild goose chase. She definitely was a tease... And as much as he wanted her -- oh, and he did, even if only because she was drop-dead sexy -- he was a little put off by her act. Unless this was how she really was? Strange girl, she was. He glanced around, hands stuffed in the tight pockets of his pants as he looked around. The Park? What was at the park? Shrugging nonchalantly, he padded after her, tail flicking and ears swiveling atop his mess of red hair. He paused as she slipped behind a huge oak. Another game? A smirk rose onto his face. Strange girl indeed... But he'd play along...for now. Until she aggravated him beyond belief. Which might come sooner than he thought, but he'd never show it. She wouldn't get the freaking satisfaction. "Lilith..." His voice was a purr.
---
Tempette smiled, hearing the rustling of leaves stating he had started in on the game. She took off her spiked heels, leaving them like a trail. Let him follow, like the good little puppy he was. Further along she took off one of her thigh-highs, making sure that the lace would be visible from the last shoe, then the other. If the b*****d didn't collect the items, he wouldn't get to see how all of this played out. 'Lilith' held in her hand the small pocket knife she always carried, a pass key and a small bag of catnip, carefully stuffing them into her bust. She really would have to invest in a carrier of some sort...
but purses were so un-sexy. She ended up in the darker parts of the forest, her skirt left behind on a rock a few paces back. She wore only her corset, so carefully zipped to hold everything in, but still reveal the flesh underneath and her underwear which where a pretty black lace -obviously expensive... and obviously bought by someone else for her specifically. Hell maybe even designed.- Her wig covered her collarbone, and her face.... but the rest was up for any prying eyes. But then... it usually was.
---
He was too slow. She was gone. Only thing left behind was a single heel... Wait a moment... Oh Lord... He reached for it, ears flicking back as he gazed up ahead. Another shoe? A smirk rose onto his lips, a chuckle erupting from his nearly-silent vocal chords. So she was gonna play a dirty little game. Okay. He was game. He tucked the heel under his arm and followed, still smirking. Another shoe, then her thigh-highs. "Lilith, Lilith," he tittered to himself. "Goddess of the underworld, indeed..." And there was her skirt, on a rock. He tested the air, sniffing, finding her a few paces ahead and paused. She stood there, in lace undies and a corset and he had to look her over -- twice. He let out a low whistle. The word 'stunning' came to mind. He drew closer, his smirk slipping into an appreciative smile.
---
Tempette allowed her eyebrow to raise dramatically. "Oh you like?" She did a slow spin, showing off every curve highlighted by the dappled light and accentuated by the contrast of black against her own pallid skin tone.Despite all the self-assuredness, Tempette didn't belive she lived up to the name Lilith, it had all started as a joke, a name given by her brother... but Denali seemed to like it.... and it kind of evolved from there. She was creepy stalker proof... at least for the most part.
As he stepped forward she let out a low chuckle, her amber eyes blazing. "Oh but dear I have a rule. My men aren't allowed to be wearing more then me." Temp let a finger trail up her torso, fingering the zipper which just happened to be the only thing keeping her from being completely exposed up top. -bras and corsets don't mix, completely uncomfortable- She let the finger trail up her neck, to her lips, where she let it linger there, before flashing him a wink and stretching herself.
---
The day was long, and rather boring. Her brothers had played more stupid tricks on ‘half-breeds’ and her more simple-minded had clung around her mother’s sick bed (as always), so Tempette was alone. Not that she minded what the boys did to other cats… it just was… the same damned thing.

She stood up, now only to about his neck -with heels on- and teetered away... pretending to be more drunk then she was. A smirk formed on her face when the door was in sight.
3....2.... any moment now he would come after her, maybe try to lead her outside, or back to the bar... either way, it was her game and she was setting the rules.
---
He watched her in surprise, mouth dropping open a fraction, though he was quick to reacess and snap it shut, forcing a frown upon his lips. What was she expecting, compliments out the ying yang? His lip rose at the thought -- he wasn't socially inept, but he also wasn't skilled with words -- this much was obvious. His hackles bristled and his ears layed back as she sauntered away. He caught the fact that she teetered -- it made him think that maybe this wasn't over yet. If he could catch her off guard... Leaving his glass on the counter, he swiftly walked after her, catching her arm with his. "I think you underestimate me," he growled out softly, giving her a push towards the wall -- ears pricked high and bobtail giving a wag. "And what I want."
---
The girl only half struggled, giving in and going limp, she allowed herself to be pressed up against the wall, hiding a smile behind the red hair she had so cleverly worn out. "How do I underestimate you?" Her voice was amazingly clear, though she wanted to laugh, and match the smile she so cleverly hid. She peeked up at him, her clear amber eyes reaching his green, playing on the good -very sexy- submissive. "and what are your intentions A... ?" She frowned, as though trying to remember his name... not that she ever forgot -Tempette was amazing at names, she had to be considering she was also a bartendress when she chose to be- "Im sorry what was your name again?" A small smile formed on her lips, betraying how she had so 'cleverly' acted throughout these little scenes/disputes they seemed to keep having.
---
He expected more fight out of her than this -- he was surprised when she allowed herself to be pushed around a little. Her hair covered her face, vivid red and beautiful...fiery. "Just do," he chuckled, pulling her hair from her eyes to stick it behind her ears, looking over her face -- surveying her. He smiled a lazy grin. "Oh my intentions are simple for now, babygirl... I just wanted your attention. Look, now I've got it. We can play nice together, now can't we?" His voice was a purr, though her frown made him falter. "Aki." It was simple to forget names... Aki himself only memorized the ones he felt needed -- family. He didn't have close friends, so no need for names. "Shall you accompany me on a walk, pretty girl?" He took one of her hands in his, giving it a playful tug.
---
Tempette smiled, "Depends on where your taking me and what you plan to do along the way." She didn't particuarly belive he was just wanting her attention, but then you had to consider her profession. Who wanted her company that didn't want her to do some dirty little tricks for them? She sighed and pouted. "You going to suggest somewhere to take the 'pretty lady' and try to play with her mind... how original. Well this pretty lady has a name thank you very much, and if your a good boy, perhaps I'll tell it to you later." She tugged her hand out of his and sauntered through the door -now that she knew he was leaving anyway-
---
"Just for a walk, rest assured." He smiled at her, though to be honest, he was hopelessly lost. He'd never had a girl like -her- before... Not in the least. She was sassy and self-assured and knew how to play this game, a game that he maybe wasn't so great at... It kept his heart pounding in his head. "I'd apologize for the kiss I gave you, but...can't say I'm sorry about that." He tossed red hair from his face with the flick of his hand. As she pulled away, striding through the door like she owned it, he hurried after her, ears and eyes trained on the sexy little kitten. "A name, huh? Well, until I get that name, I'll just have to give you nicknames... What about Rose?" He chuckled.
---
The female didn't look back, or at him when he ran towards her. She knew he would come, like a kitten to a saucer of milk. Silly boy. "Never much liked roses, they are too generic." She didn't even -look- at him. "im a bit more exotic don't you thing... more rare, expensive." She said the last word with a purr, drawing out her e, before flicking the piece of hair that had fallen into her face. "You can call me Lilith, everyone does... its my ... stage name." She giggled with the last word... oh if only he knew, her stage was this whole damned town. Without really realizing it, as though she was on a timer Tempette headed in the direction of the Casino, sashaying on her spiked heels. "Perhaps if you try hard enough, and be a good boy I'll let you escort me to work."
---
Aki looped his fingers in the beltloops of his jeans as he strode after her, several paces behind her but still being -with- her. His shoulders slumped a little, but he stood tall otherwise. His tail flicked to the side, back and forth, in a mixture of curiosity and slight annoyance. "Everyone likes roses," he murmured softly. He even liked their thorns, however much they hurt. He smiled, then shrugged. Ah well, each their own. "Like what?" His nose wrinkled. "Diamonds? Pearls? ...Lilith... Goddess of the Underworld. Nice. Fits...in a strangely beautiful way." He smirked at this. "What, are you a stripper or something?" He caught up with her, walking side by side with her now, his stride lengthening. Green eyes glittered. "Good boy." He gave a small huff. "Like I'm bad."
---
Tempette laughed, a smirk lighting on her face. "try a high priced escort. Best you will ever have. Get me and my brother together and you will be screaming with pleasure within fifteen min guaranteed." She sounded like she was rattling off something she had recited many times... and quite possibly she had. "roses are boring. Men that give them are just going for the same generic bullshit.Because they don't want to splurge on something nicer. Pearls... Diamonds..." She laughed, shaking her head. "As Generic, if not more so, then the rose. Dear little Aki your going to have to do better then that if you want to hook a nice, big, fish." She said the last word stopped right in front of him, looking up and grinning.
She shook her head, ruffling the Black Cherry curls and laughed once more to some inside joke that he wouldn't understand, and stalked away. Let him fallow, she had something up her sleeve.
---
LykosEcho (7:26:23 PM): One slender brow raised into his hairline at her words. Escort, and not a cheap one, either. Ah well. "Of course. You get what you pay for..." But, to be honest, he wasn't sure if he'd be comfortable in bed with her...and her brother. That was a little kinky. Either way he shrugged. "I'd say you'd be worth the money, though..." spoken with a small smirk, though it slipped off his face as she turned towards him, stopping, dark red hair framing her face. She was beautiful, he'd give her that...but was she worth the exasperation he felt mounting in his gut at her...spicy behavior? For now. "Hn. Perhaps I'll have to ponder something precious." But he followed anyways.
---
The girl bobbed along, debating at the mouth of an alley which way to go, straight to the casino... so somewhere she could torment him a bit before hand? Of course, being the little -sometimes- sadist she was, Tempette deliberately missed her turn and headed in the direction of the park, sauntering along with a swish of the tail. "Oh im worth every penny darling."
The sun made the highlights look real in her wig, bringing out her pale complexion, the curls lightly touching her bare shoulders, it was like dangling a cherry in front of a starving man. she lightly fingered the tips of the hair, her gaze drifting over their surroundings, making note of the humans and children playing about in the park where she lead them. No fun. Once more she thanked Denali in her mind for getting her wigs custom made, no sloppy mishaps when with customers... sighing she looked around, finding her landmarks easily and disappearing behind a giant oak tree. Time to play.
---
Aki followed her quickly, curiousity enough to keep him going even on this wild goose chase. She definitely was a tease... And as much as he wanted her -- oh, and he did, even if only because she was drop-dead sexy -- he was a little put off by her act. Unless this was how she really was? Strange girl, she was. He glanced around, hands stuffed in the tight pockets of his pants as he looked around. The Park? What was at the park? Shrugging nonchalantly, he padded after her, tail flicking and ears swiveling atop his mess of red hair. He paused as she slipped behind a huge oak. Another game? A smirk rose onto his face. Strange girl indeed... But he'd play along...for now. Until she aggravated him beyond belief. Which might come sooner than he thought, but he'd never show it. She wouldn't get the freaking satisfaction. "Lilith..." His voice was a purr.
---
Tempette smiled, hearing the rustling of leaves stating he had started in on the game. She took off her spiked heels, leaving them like a trail. Let him follow, like the good little puppy he was. Further along she took off one of her thigh-highs, making sure that the lace would be visible from the last shoe, then the other. If the b*****d didn't collect the items, he wouldn't get to see how all of this played out. 'Lilith' held in her hand the small pocket knife she always carried, a pass key and a small bag of catnip, carefully stuffing them into her bust. She really would have to invest in a carrier of some sort...
but purses were so un-sexy. She ended up in the darker parts of the forest, her skirt left behind on a rock a few paces back. She wore only her corset, so carefully zipped to hold everything in, but still reveal the flesh underneath and her underwear which where a pretty black lace -obviously expensive... and obviously bought by someone else for her specifically. Hell maybe even designed.- Her wig covered her collarbone, and her face.... but the rest was up for any prying eyes. But then... it usually was.
---
He was too slow. She was gone. Only thing left behind was a single heel... Wait a moment... Oh Lord... He reached for it, ears flicking back as he gazed up ahead. Another shoe? A smirk rose onto his lips, a chuckle erupting from his nearly-silent vocal chords. So she was gonna play a dirty little game. Okay. He was game. He tucked the heel under his arm and followed, still smirking. Another shoe, then her thigh-highs. "Lilith, Lilith," he tittered to himself. "Goddess of the underworld, indeed..." And there was her skirt, on a rock. He tested the air, sniffing, finding her a few paces ahead and paused. She stood there, in lace undies and a corset and he had to look her over -- twice. He let out a low whistle. The word 'stunning' came to mind. He drew closer, his smirk slipping into an appreciative smile.
---
Tempette allowed her eyebrow to raise dramatically. "Oh you like?" She did a slow spin, showing off every curve highlighted by the dappled light and accentuated by the contrast of black against her own pallid skin tone.Despite all the self-assuredness, Tempette didn't belive she lived up to the name Lilith, it had all started as a joke, a name given by her brother... but Denali seemed to like it.... and it kind of evolved from there. She was creepy stalker proof... at least for the most part.
As he stepped forward she let out a low chuckle, her amber eyes blazing. "Oh but dear I have a rule. My men aren't allowed to be wearing more then me." Temp let a finger trail up her torso, fingering the zipper which just happened to be the only thing keeping her from being completely exposed up top. -bras and corsets don't mix, completely uncomfortable- She let the finger trail up her neck, to her lips, where she let it linger there, before flashing him a wink and stretching herself.
