• He was hanging out near a model he had been with a couple of times before, debating on if he wanted a replay of a few nights ago or if perhaps he wanted a new show. He raised his scotch - a much better quality - to his lips as his eyes drifted around, finally settling on her. His brow raised slowly, a smirk crossing his face before he excused himself and crossed his way over to her. "Decide to crash the party, kitten?" He had to admit, she looked pretty damn classy, perhaps he had sold her short when he had seen her out of the strip. It didn't really matter much, all she was doing now was playing dress up in his mind - you couldn't hide a first impression and hers on him had not been impressive.

• (She smiled at him, snagging a glass of champagne off a passing waiter's tray and taking a small sip. Her hazel eyes passed over him as she absently clicked a long fingernail against the think glass of the champagne flute.) I haven't quite decided on anything yet.. (She said, letting her eyes wander the room.. the gathering was a lot more than she had expected.. there were so many people and she had no idea where to begin- she hadn't actually thought she would get in.) Besides, (She added, looking back to him with a slightly teasing smile.) you did enough crashing earlier for the both of us. (NT) -- Karlie, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 7:46pm PDT

  ---

• He smirked lightly, dropping his empty glass onto a passing waiters tray before he straightened the lapels of his armani suit. "Can't crash a public place..." He shrugged a little, running a hand over his head slowly before he tipped his head to the side and regarded her. "You clean up nicely." He stated in an offhand compliment, one of those that you weren't sure if it was really a compliment or not. "So whats your intrest in this party, sweetheart? I am not going to flatter myself into thinking that you just couldn't stay away from me." He smirked teasingly, watching her carefully. (NT) -- Nick, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 8:04pm PDT

  ---

• I wasn't talking about the party crashing. (She said offhandedly, idly twisting a simple silver bracelet on her slender wrist. It wasn't normal for her to stand around with someone exhanging barbs, she would have normally left the other person alone, it wasn't her style to continue to take it.. but she knew no one at this party and really had no where else to go. She hadn't wanted to let him know about her business, but since that was where this evening was headed, she decided to let him in on it.) I am trying to make a few contacts. (She said, smiling at a couple that passed her, the woman nodding at her. Her eyes went back to him.) I am a designer. (NT) -- Karlie, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 8:08pm PDT

  ---

• He nodded a little, his eyes moving over the dress with a critical eye. "I didn't recognize the maker of that dress.." He stated with a soft murmur to his voice. He gazed at it for a second before he looked back up to her. "Looks nice." He stated honestly in his low voice, it was rare he paid a true compliment. "So thats why you were so adamant about getting in here, huh? Trying to get your name out?" He looked around, she seemed like she had some talent for design, someone was bound to take notice evantually but he was wondering if he could maybe introduce her to someone to get her started. (NT) -- Nick, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 8:31pm PDT

  ---

• (The smile he got for his compliment was a genuine one, one that she rarely gave anyone and he got it because for once she wasn't trying to get something from him or get back at him.. she meant it.) Thank you, you don't look so bad yourself. (She said, a glint in her eyes. She tilted her head a little, a stray strand fo her perfect hair slipping out and curling under hear ear.) There are a lot of important people here that I would love to get my name out to. (She shook her head a little.) This is a cutthroat business. (NT) -- Karlie, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 8:35pm PDT

  ---

• He cocked a brow, following her line of vision before he shrugged a touch. "Well, tell me who you want to meet and I'll introduce you." He stated easily, he knew basically everyone here and it would be easy enough to introduce a pretty girl to anyone in the party. "Just let me know who and grab my arm, I'll make you look prettier." He winked teasingly, offering his arm. He might as well play nice, she was a pretty girl and of course he was attracted to her - he was just like that plus he had a weakness for blondes. (NT) -- Nick, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 8:49pm PDT

  ---

• (She had quite forgotten that she had been peeved with him upon her arrival.. in fact he had been a main catalyst in her desire to be here that particular night.. she had only wanted to prove to him that she could be classy and beautiful then turn down any advances he made to spite him. And yet her she as, slipping her arm into his and looking up with cool green eyes.) There is a women's designer, Michelle D'Kaffre... (She sighed, for a moment her eyes looked a little wider as she dreamed of the day that D'Kaffre might notice her line.) She could get me in. NT) -- Karlie, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 8:53pm PDT

  ---

• He grinned, tipping his head to the side. "I'll introduce you but I am not sure how warm the welcome would be...apperantly I forgot a belt or something there...her husband found out.." He shook his head. "Not the greatest last impression." He winked teasingly, leading her down the stairs, his hand covering hers on his well muscled arm. "Let's see...what about..." He pursed his lip, looking around. "Over there is Shayna Moore, she's the hottest new model at IMG, if you could get her wanting to wear one of your dresses then she could push it to the photographers." (NT) -- Nick, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 9:15pm PDT

  ---

• (She was watching him think, realizing that he really did know his people.. and perhaps he knew what it took to work you way up in this place. Her hand held her skirt as they descended the stairs, revealing the tiny leaf studded anklet that shined in the light. It had been a gift from her brother Jake many years ealier and she wore it now for luck. Her eyes ran around the room.) Like she would touch the designs of an unknown designer.. (She mused, but knew that she had no other choice but to be assertive and push the line herself, no one would do it for her. It was rare for her to show this kind of need to someone else, this part of her life was near and dear to her heart and she was letting her guard down in hopes that she might have found a step inside the door at last.) (NT) -- Karlie, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 9:19pm PDT

  ---

• And there's always a stage and a beautiful babe to squeeze my lime..in my simple way I guess you could say I'm living in the big time... -- Nick, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 9:35pm PDT

  ---

• (The entire time she had been with him her heart had been about to fly out of her chest, but she had been skilled at keeping her demeanor cool and professional. A simple smile here, a nod there and some compliments had a great effect on the other woman.. she just couldn't believe the way Nick was playing with her. It made her like him because he was so good at it, while at the same time wonder if he had been playing her all along as well. After making some arrangements to exchange measurements and delivery information, Karlie was on cloud nine- one of her gowns would be on display for not only other designers.. but other models, and buyers. Her foot was defintely in the door now. With a smile at Nick, she let him close the deal- he was, after all, "the master".) (NT) -- Karlie, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 9:41pm PDT

  ---

• He closed it off easily before he pressed a soft kiss to Shayna's cheek, promising to call her later which he probably would because she wasn't half bad in bed - she wasn't great but not bad - and because he didn't want to piss her off for Karlie's sake. It made him feel good to occasionally help out those who were in more need then he was. He placed a hand on her lower back again, fingers absently stroking as he guided her way to the table to get some finger food. "So, how was that?" He questioned, cocking a brow. (NT) -- Nick, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 10:00pm PDT

  ---

• (She was exhilerated and on fire, and ready to scream out loud.. one of her biggest hurdles had been jumped without a thought.) I could kiss you right now.. (She said with a sly smirk, as soon as they were apart from the model and she could speak freely. She couldn't remember having such a wonderful night before, and it couldn't get any better than this for her unless someone walked over and offered to buy her entire line. Her heart was still racing, and all she could do was smile.) (NT) -- Karlie, Mon, Oct 24 2005, 10:05pm PDT

  ---

• He smirked, tipping his head as he shook his head. "I woudn't recomend it right now, don't want to piss of Shayna who is apperantly figuring out our rendevous already but hell, later, who am I to tell you what to do?" He winked teasingly before he grabbed another scotch off a waiters tray. He wasn't one to deny a challenge and getting this girl to break through in a pretty exlcusive world would be a challenge to say the least. A smile played over his lips as he thought of it as something to occupy his time...he got bored. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 6:31pm PDT

  ---

• (She came back to earth with a nod and exchanged her empty champagne flute for a new one, leaving a small spot of pink lipstick on the rim as she took a sip, her green eyes on him over the rim.) Oh I doubt there will be a later in the sense you're talkin, darlin', but thanks. (She said, smiling at him.) Thanks for doing that. (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 6:46pm PDT

  ---

• That made him cringe inwardly, it was rare he did anything without getting something in return. "No problem." He lifted the scotch to his lips, taking a long drink. He was feeling a little on edge that night and he wasn't sure why but hopefully the quality scotch would help take some of the anxiety off his shoulders. He was a little highstrung at times, a little anxious about life. He was a successful young man, he made a name of himself at a young age but that also placed a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 6:56pm PDT

  ---

• (Karlie might be a woman who enjoyed the attention of men, but she didn't lead them on unless there was a reason for it. In this case, since he had done something nice for him, she wasn't going to lead him on. She didn't plan on sleeping with him because he was arrogant, rude and self-centered, and she didn't have the desire nor the energy to stroke some rich kid's ego. Of course, that was nothing a few champagne's might not alter, but for now she would dodge his advances.) So what exactly is it that you do, Nick? (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:01pm PDT

  ---

• He cleared his throat, tipping his head to the side as he thought that over. "I am an investor." He stated, which was true. He played on the stock market and got lucky, basically. "It's done well for me." He shrugged his shoulders, running his hand over his face as he looked over the place quietly. "So, what do you think about this party? Your cup of tea?" He questioned softly, his eyes drifting over the people wandering around. It was almost humerous to watch, the people were all so fake and shallow and pretending to all be friends... (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:11pm PDT

  ---

• (She followed his gaze, her own coming back to him after a moment.) Not really.. granted, I love fashion and I love the cutthroat nature of the business.. (She tilted her head and sent the stray strand of hair dropping to the other side.) I would much rather spend my time with my boys. (She said with a smile as she thought of Adam, Jake and Gabe.) They might not look as classy as these people, but they are genuine and they look out for me. (She had said quite a lot without thinking, but she didn't mind this time.. it was true- she had it good with her guys.) And the girls that I am friends with don't look at you like they know you then go and stab you in the back when they turn around. (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:14pm PDT

  ---

• He nodded a little at that,glancing around for a long moment before he cleared his throat. "Well, at least you've got the right view on the crowd, it's cut throat and they'll tear you down in a second. You have to play their game or get off the field." He stated, crossing his arms over his chest as he gazed around and then settled his eyes back on her slowly. "It's a lesson you need to master quickly if you want to get anywhere in this kind of business - image is everything." (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:27pm PDT

  ---

• (She smirked.) Well from what i have seen tonight, perhaps I need to have you on my arm to make it. (She laughed, an innocent sound even though she had a pretty strong idea of what she was getting into.. the alcohol was getting to her now. She had had a couple beers before the club, a few drinks at the club and a couple glasses of champagne recently.) But then again, perhaps with my line going somewhere now, you might do well to have me on your arm.. (She teased, starting to babble a bit, her words rushed.) (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:32pm PDT

  ---

• He laughed a little, tipping his head to the side as he watched her, she was definately getting a little buzzed. "I do have my share of connections, kitten, I already have quite a bit of...experience under my belt." He winked teasingly, brushing back her hair absently that had fallen out of the bun. "Now, feel up to schmoozing?" It was a necessary thing to meet people and kiss up a bit when you were new around here and it was difficult to do that if you didn't have someone introducing you. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:37pm PDT

  ---

• (She blinked a couple of times, clearing the fuzz from her head so that she could focus. It was hard for her to do this sort of thing - she loved being the center of attention - just not in this kind of fake crowd. It might be fun.. however.. to mess with him a bit and see if she could get his feathers ruffled- he had been pretty hot when he was thinking up barbs to throw at her. Lifting her hand as would a debutante requiring an escort, she flashed a winning smile.) Schmoozing is my middle name.. (She said with a fun laugh.) (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:42pm PDT

  ---

• He laughed softly, shaking his head. "Well, Karlie Schmooze, lets get on with this." He offered her his arm, wrapping his hand around hers as he went about making the appropiate introductions, carefully playing her up as the up and coming designer she was was. So there was some embellishment going on but it was all needed to show off what he knew he could predict to come true. His hand was either covering hers on his arm or on her lower back the whole time, making sure she was comfortable but also keeping a close eye on how much champagne she was drinking - the last thing she needed was to be completely lit and trying to schmooze. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 7:56pm PDT

  ---

• Give me just one night, one moment to be by your side.. -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 8:05pm PDT

  ---

• "I think water would do you better..." he stated, his hand going around to slide over her hip as she leaned up towards his ear. His own voice was a murmur when he replied to her, quiet and private with his words. He didn't want anyone to think anything deragotry, rumors got started easily. "Lets go get you some, alright? Some food would probably be good too." He wrapped his arm securely around her waist, guiding her over to the tables and pulling out a chair for her. "Have a seat, I'll bring you something alright?" (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 8:41pm PDT

  ---

• (She attributed the sharp flash of attraction she felt at his closeness to the alcohol and nodded her agreement of his plan, crossing her legs at the ankle when she was sitting down, taking out her compact and checking her makeup, frowning at the hair out of place. She sighed and spent a few moments carefully tucking the strand back into her hair clip, tilting her head to make sure she had secured it correctly. Her eyes shifted to a couple of other women her age prowling the room.. and she wondered why she didn't just do the same.. it was obvious that being with Nick got her into this crowd and in with some favor.. so why didn't she just let things happen as nature intended.. she let her eyes move to him then. He was definitely worth it, even if he did need to be slapped every now and then.. ) (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 8:50pm PDT

  ---

• It was also obvious that Nick was a fairly popular man as he got stopped numerous times on his way to the table to get her a plate of different finger foods and a bottle of water that was of course poured into a crystal glass by one of the waiters. Finally getting away from his adoring female public, he made his way back over, placing the plate down. "Nibble on some of that, the food will soak up the alcohol." He smiled a touch, sitting down. In all honesty it was kind of nice to appear to have a date, itkept away from of the real baraccuda's here. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 9:04pm PDT

  ---

• (She had decided that it would be fun to be a notch in his bedpost, so she smiled at his words and obliged him even though she wasn't hungry. It did help clear her head however and it was immensely fun to drink out of a crystal glass.) So what does one do after a party like this? (NT) -- karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 9:06pm PDT

  ---

• He shrugged a little, his eyes roaming around them before he focused on her again. "Well, it depends I guess. Sometimes these last pretty early into the morning and in that case some people just crash at the hotels around here, others just go home...." He shrugged a little. "If this place breaks up early they usually head over to Moda or something." One of the VIP clubs in the area. "Yeah, so it just depends on what happens throughout the night mostly." He smirked, shrugging his shoulders once more slightly. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 9:28pm PDT

  ---

• (She nodded, her eyes taking back their usual spark of color as the water and food cleared her thoughts.) I am feeling much better now.. (She said softly, taking a last sip of her water.) Should we get back out there? (She offered a manicured hand, glad that she had met him earlier.) (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 9:30pm PDT

  ---

• He shrugged, looking out over the crowd before he looked back to her. "I am actually pretty good to just sit for a little while, but you can go try and work into some conversations if you want - now that you have been introduced you should be able to work your way into some of them." He waved her off encouragingly. "Go, schmooze, I am going to sit for a bit and save our table here." That was his way of letting her know he wasn't trying to get rid of her, he just really was content to just sit there for a bit. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 9:36pm PDT

  ---

• What am I doin here? -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 9:42pm PDT
  • He took a few minutes to just chill out and sip on some sprite - watching the crowd was always interesting - before he stood up and went over to the crowd where she was. He stood behind her, his hand going to her back as he smiled at the people she was around. "So you met my little spitfire, huh?" He questioned one of the guys who he knew who was checking her out blatantly. His brow cocked a little at him, his arm going to Karlie's hip as he tugged her closer to his side. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 10:31pm PDT

  ---

• (She didn't mind the attention, she loved it.. and when she saw the other man's reaction to Nick's display it made her smile.) Oh there you are.. (She said softly to Nick, looking over to a couple of the girls there who had narrowed there gaze at Nick's attention to her.) We were just discussing the fact that the coulotte simply will not be brought back into style. (At her words, one of the girls huffed and turned to walk away.) (NT) -- Karlie, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 10:33pm PDT

  ---

• He smirked at the girl - one who was known to have a crush on him. "She is quite opinionated." He winked down at her before he leveled his eyes at the other guy, warning him silently to back off. He needed to have a talk with her about how exactly she schmoozed, she didn't know who was with who yet and flirting with the wrong person could land her in trouble. His hand shifted to run over her back again, trailing the tips over her bare skin. (NT) -- Nick, Tue, Oct 25 2005, 10:51pm PDT

  ---

• (She shared a smile with Nick, having not noticed the look he had given the other man.) I just love to debate. (She said with a little shake of her head.. he made it sound like she was just playing devil's advocate. The touch of his fingers to her back was lighting little fires under her skin and she shifted her weight a little bit.) No one here actually believes the coulutte can make a comeback.. (She got a few laughs with that statement. The girl who she had been debating about the garment with had been the one to stalk off, so it was obvious to Karlie that she had known she was wrong to begin with. Karlie hated fake people and didn't let them get away with it.) (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 6:57pm PDT

  ---

• He smirked lightly, not really caring particularly about the coulette but he was decent at catching onto things quickly and even if he knew nothing about the fashion talk he could act like he did pretty damn convincingly. "Would you like another water?" He questioned, dipping his head next to her ear to murmur the question quietly - playing the role of the doting date. It wouldn't look good for it to be found out she was here without an invite so having her on his arm was just making people assume she was his date for the evening. (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 7:53pm PDT

  ---

• (She smiled at him again, holding out her glass.) That would be sweet of you. (She said softly, before one of the girls there mentioned something about a new type of fabric that was making waves on the runways of Milan, and Karlie couldn't help herself but to get involved in the conversation, and soon the girls were laughing together, a couple of the less masculine guys joining in. Karlie let her eyes follow Nick as he moved though, she was beginning to enjoy his company.) (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 7:58pm PDT

  ---

• He made his way back to the table, stopping to chat every few feet before he finally made it to refill the water glass for her. He chatted for a few minutes with the 'tender who poured it for him before he made his way back, handing her the glass. His hand lifted to brush that stubborn piece of hair out of her face and behind her ear again before he turned his head back to the conversation at hand, looking thoroughly interested though really he wasn't listening in the least. (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 8:12pm PDT

  ---

• Take me home tonight... -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 8:19pm PDT
  • She seemed a little distracted and he turned into that pretty quickly, watching her from the corner of his eye for a second before he wrapped his arm more securely around her waist, his hand settled on her hip. " Well, ladies, as wonderful as it was chatting I am afraid I don't feel quite up to sharing Karlie here anymore right now." He grinned charmingly, tipping his head to the side as he looked down at her. "Want to go get some air, kitten?" (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 8:33pm PDT

  ---

• (She nodded gratefully, saying her goodbyes and regrets to the girls that she was leaving the conversation that she had started, but he was right and she needed a moment of air. She put her arm in his and let him lead the way, her mind swimming with thoughts of fabrics, designers, models and him.. it was all a lot for her to take in. When they were alone, she took a deep breath and let it out, her eyes sparkling with all the excitement of the night.. give her a fight with another girl and she could win without contest and then sidle up to the bar for a night of dancing and partying.. but disguising her thoughts was a little new to her.) (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 8:35pm PDT

  ---

• He smiled lightly, letting her have a few moments to collect herself before and giving himself a moment to take a long drink of scotch before he finally spoke. "You were begining to look a little overwhelmed." He smiled though, as he said it, his head tipped to the side as he watched her quietly. There was no denying she was a pretty girl, as he had thought before and she was doign well at working her way in with a lot of the people here. She might just make it in this business after all. (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 8:43pm PDT

  ---

• (She was honest for once, nodding a little.) I have to admit that I am not used to this kind of environment.. or these people.. (She was looking at him when she said it, and then she looked down and smiled to herself before returning her gaze to him.) It's strange for me to find something so unlike me so much fun. (She said quietly, as a couple of people walked into the party past them.) I am used to loud music and louder people.. not this soft of thing.. with finger foods, and expensive water.. and cutthroat women. (She laughed a little.) I think that girl was a little pissed that I was standing with you. (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 8:46pm PDT

  ---

• He shrugged a little, his eyes dropping over her for a second. "Your doing great." His words were honest that time, she really was doing a good job of mingling in. At her last comment, he laughed, shrugging his shoulders lightly. "She'll get over it, I don't even remember her name so she couldn't have been that important." He had a bad habit of that, his eyes moving over her. "Don't take after my example on that. If you want to work with these people you have to know who wants who and who's dating who that way you don't flirt with the wrong person and lose a deal or a contract because of it." (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 8:59pm PDT

  ---

• (She nodded, mentally storing away that bit of information for later use. It was obvious to her that he had gotten around from the looks he got and the looks she was getting that could kill. She was starting to see why though- he was arrogant for sure, but he was thoughtful too.) Maybe I will just flirt with you then. (She said playfully, letting her fingernail clink on the crystal glass in her hand. She liked the idea of being on the arm of a man that would make other women jealous of her.) (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 9:04pm PDT

  ---

• A light laugh escaped his lips at that, his brow cocked. "I am not sure how safe that will make you either." He stated with a shrug, winking down at her teasingly. "But I am definately not going to tell you not too." He grinned before he shrugged out of his suit jacket, placing it over her shoulders. It was getting chilly out but he was a warm blooded creature - almost always comfortable in any temperature. "So what plans for tonight did you cancel to be able to come crash this party?" (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 9:10pm PDT

  ---

• (She was grateful for his jacket and pulled it a little closer over her bare shoulders. Taking a sip of her water, she thought about that.) Well, Gabe had asked me down there to shoot a cover for one of his cars since he is running it tomorrow in the big drift rally in town. (She bit her lower lip, remembering his words about her clothing.. but she had dressed for the shoot and had been comfortable in that crowd.) Then I was just going to let my hair down for the night and party. (She shrugged.) Usually I have a couple of friends to talk with at the club, but I just moved home from Penn a couple nights ago and haven't had a chance to hook up with anyone. (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 9:15pm PDT

  ---

• He nodded a little bit, with a smirk speaking thoughtfully. "You know, I think your hair was already down, if I remember correctly." He winked teasingly before he saw her shiver, encouraging him to wrap her arms around her and tug her against his chest to offer some warmth. "These things can go all night, you can feel free to head out whenever you want...I can give you a ride home..." And maybe stick around for a little while if he had his choice in the matter. (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 9:30pm PDT

  ---

• (She smiled up at him, her hand on his chest and her eyes carrying a slightly affectionate air.) You trying to get rid of me? (She asked, playfully tugging on one of the buttons on his shirt, she wasn't ready to get rid of him quite yet. Besides, if left to her own devices she would most likely have found someone to take her home. . and she wasn;t ready to call it an evening yet.) (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 9:34pm PDT

• "Nope...told you I would take you home..." He murmured into her ear, his breath warm and his lips just barely brushing the shell. A small smile graced his lips as he he ran his hand over his jacket on her hip, his brow furrowed a little as he took in the scent of her perfume lingering at her neck. She seemed so soft and warm and he was starting to get a little more intent on getting her to warm his bed for a little while. (NT) -- Nick, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 9:38pm PDT

• (She lifted a hand to the back of his neck, letting her fingers play with the short hairs there.) I think that could be beneficial to my introduction into society.. (She teased, her eyes warming as she looked at him. She had never had a problem with letting a man know that she wanted him, and even though she was being proper and maintained her class, she was letting him know now.)

• He let out a slow breath, his arms still wrapped around her, his chest resting against her back gently. His lips lowered to her neck, pressing a warm lingering kiss to her pulse as he remained silent for the moment. There wasn't really any words to say at the moment, it was obvious that there was a desire shared between the two of them, it was heating the air around them and sparking a chemistry that could work out to be something good.

• (A sharp knot of desire was slowly infurling deep in her stomach and she turned, setting her glass down on a table near them.) Take me home. (She said softly, looking down at her hand against his chest, long lashes laying across her cheeks.) (NT) -- Karlie, Wed, Oct 26 2005, 9:51pm PDT
