Welcome to Gaia! ::

*not ready to go in just yet, she walks around town, mindful of her surroundings and scattered night owls. Soon, she reaches a clearing seeing a wooded area beyond it. Starting in that direction, the hairs on the back of her neck stand. Not breaking her meandering pace, she starts scratching her stomach, lazily making her way to her sides and back. She doesn't hear a sound, but she can feel the person getting closer as she crosses the clearing into the woods. Smiling mischievously she yawns loudly, her scratching hands reach their destination-her gun. Just as she takes the safety off and gets it halfway out its holster, her stalker closes the distance between them and secures her wrists behind her. Telling her not to move or make a sound, the stalker slips the gun from her hand, and does a quick body search for anymore weapons. Discarding a couple knives, pushes her towards a nearby tree, still holding her hands behind her.

Smile widening, she plants her feet firmly into the ground, crouches and jumps backwards. Her stalker anticipating her movements, he plants a foot securely behind him to keep the two from falling backwards. So when she jumps, he leans forward, causing her to fall back to her feet and almost topple over. Still holding her by the wrists, he rights her back to a standing position. She uses that distraction to stomp on his instep and kick his leg out from under him. This time they did fall backwards, her rolling over and reaching for her weapons. Recovering quickly, the stalker grabs her by the legs and pulls her backwards to him, flipping her over on her back and straddling her hips. Pinning her arms above her head, he leans down real low so that they're face to face. Smiling wickedly now, she leans up and licks his bottom lip-

Took you long enough. Thought all you had planned to do was stalk me from the shadows.

*he leans down and kisses her, sucking her bottom lip slightly*

I've been on watch since Stubbs and I left the restaurant. Told the Russian that was tailing you I'd take watch. Plus I couldn't let boss see me. You know what he'd-

I'm your boss as long as you're on my security detail. So damn what Flame says or thinks. I'm head honcho and when I tell you to do something, I expect it done in a timely manner.

twisted And just what is it that you'd have me do, ma'am? twisted

*wicked smile returning, she writhes underneath him. Releasing her wrists, he trails his hands down her arms to her breasts and down her stomach, reaching under her shirt. Pushing it up slowly, he reveals her skin, lightly feathering his fingers across her stomach and sides, causing her muscles to contract and breath to hitch. He teased her like that for a while, kissing her between her pantline and braline until she was breathless with lust and anticipation. Whenever she'd reach for him, he'd push her hands away or lock them above her head, heightening her lust. Just as he saw she couldn't take anymore, he stops and pulls her top down, climbing off of her. Breathing hard, she looks at him confused, then around the woods, wondering if someone else was out there, but she couldn't feel any other presence. Looking back at him, she furrows her brow when she sees a cocky grin on his face. Before she can ask, he answers her*

That, my lovely Ice, is for Virginia. You remember Virginia, don't you? Where you left me in a hotel, handcuffed to the bed for an April Fools prank? evil Well honey, I may be a couple months late, but APRIL FOOLS! twisted rofl

*Horne jumps up and takes off running before she can recover. She sits there dumbfounded, then recognition sets in as she remembers that prank over a year ago. Soon her stubborn pride sets in and the fact that he'd gotten her all hot and bothered doesn't help the situation either. Growling, she quickly finds her weapons and stalks back to the hostel. First, cold shower. Second.... well, could it really be called forcing herself on him being that she's a woman? twisted *

After dame is good and shivering, too worried about the cold to be thinking lustful thoughts, she turns the water the other way and slowly warms up her body. Putting her hair under the water, she starts shampooing her hair and singing.

Well, because he was adopted. *looks over at her* confused Didn't you know that? He was found in the woods with Velcore when he was about 7. We're not sure that's how old he was, though, because all he seemed to remember was his name and Velcore's.

*shrugs* He probably doesn't think of it much. I don't either, and I was adopted too.

I'm pretty sure Velcore's a dragon. I've never seen him any other way. He's just a very smart dragon, unlike mine. Gwee and Smok are still really young, though. Anyway, I don't know what else Velcore could be. He won't explain anything, either. rolleyes

*shrugs* My mother died when I was born, so I never had a chance to. Velcore could be a shape changer, I guess. I have seen some strange things around here.

*wanders around the building for a little bit* I think it'll work. *nods* It'll need some work, though.

*shrugs* I never knew her, so it doesn't bother me.

A week? It can be ready that quickly? If you can afford it, I'd like to have the outside done at the same time so it can open sooner. We'll have to hire some people to run everything, too. Plus maintenance...

*nods* Let's look outside!

You're the one financing the remodel, so it's really up to you. I want to see this place open as quickly as possible.

Well, lifeguards, some people to run the games, and people for the pets area. Karrie already has his catering people lined up for his part.

*goes outside* How far back do you think the yard goes?

Well, we'd need somebody to keep track of all the supplies and stuff. Also to answer any questions people have.

*shades her eyes and looks at the treeline* eek That much space?! I think that's more than enough!
