Wicked Ways

The rest of the afternoon and early evening had been as usual. She had finished designing her day’s plan of work, and part of the next mornings. Figuring if she was going to be out with this group of men, she knew she would have to drink heavily to survive the urge to get in a fight with one of them. You can’t fight with your clients. It’s just as bad as fucking them.

She smirked some, her finger brushing her damp strands back from her face as she began to apply her onyx eyeshadow. Her slender form was wrapped in a dress produced from sheer straps of material, all pulled and wrapped together to hug her delicate form, accenting her round, milky breasts. The skirt fell in short ragged pieces, allowing a quick glimpse at her thighs when she walked. She finished her eye makeup, grabbing a slender sliver bottle of lipgloss, coating her lips lightly before she smacked her lips together. “Well, here’s to another night of partying with assholes.” She grabbed her nearby glass of wine, sipping it heartily as she walked from the bathroom.

Kagome patted down the hallway, knocking on her door with a light rap before speaking, “Are you ready? The limo is here with the band!!” Rin grumbled and finished her glass, placing it upon her vanity table as she grabbed her purse and her shoes. Barefooted, she half ran, half tiptoed to the limo before slipping in. She smiled to everyone, before looking to the person sitting next to her.

Amber gaze captured her own, holding her still a moment, before her gaze tore away from his. “Evening, Rin…” his voice was smooth, seductive, curling about her as she fiddled with the ties upon her shoes, wrapping the thin black laces around and up her leg. She nodded a greeting and sat up, looking out the window as she crossed her leg, leaning her body away from him.

Sesshomaru growled inside of himself, his fingers clawing at the leather pants upon his legs before her turned his head from him. Trying to understand how she could just turn away so easily. The limo slowed to a stop before the bright spotlights of the club. A crowd had gathered, cameras flashing as the driver opened the door. Rin stepped out first, caught in a wave of flashes as people shouted at her. Suddenly, the crowd went wild, girls shrieking loudly as they reached out towards the one behind her.

Sesshomaru slipped up behind her, wrapping his arm about Rin’s waist, smiling brightly to the press. He leaned into her some, whispering to her ear. “Just play along, goddess.” His words hissed in her ear as he stepped forward, his arm about her back, urging her to walk with him as they stepped towards the club.

Rin blinked a moment, before everything registered. She growled and pulled away, leaving half of the bystanders to gasp as it seemed Sesshomaru’s date was dumping him. He looked to her, his brow knitting in frustration as he watched her. She turned on her heel, stepping towards the club with a daring swing of the hip. A nearby reporter stuck his mike out, speaking to Sesshomaru as he growled some. “What just happened? Who did you sleep with?”

The demon turned, his eyes flashing red a moment as the guy backed down, gulping his words back into his throat. “Fuck you…” Sesshomaru growled and stepped after the girl, heading for the club. The bouncer unlatched the black velvet rope and gestured a welcome to him. He smiled, his amber gaze looking over the plush black, blue and purple interior of the club.

His vision slid to Rin, seeing her walking along the upper floor railing, drink in hand as she half danced her way to the open balcony, disappearing from sight. He moved, snaking his lithe form through the crowd towards the stairs. She would not hide from him, he cold smell her. Smell her musky, intoxicating scent. The moon hung high in the sky, lighting up the balcony as people sat in bunches and pairs upon plush couches.

Rin was at the far left of the balcony, half hidden in the shadows as she sipped her drink, watching the night sky above her. Sesshomaru snuck up, sliding to sit next to her without a sound, hoping to scare her a bit, hinting of his true nature. “Nice night, isn’t it?”

Rin jumped a good five feet away, tumbling off of the chair as she squeaked some. “Jesus Christ…what the fuck was that for?” Sesshomaru laughed slightly, leaning over as he helped her back up. She stood, but did not sit next to him as she put her hands to her hips. “What do you want?”

He blinked a bit, looking up to her. Her pale skin shone iridescent in the moonlight, her dark gaze swallowing him whole a moment before he replied. “I’m still waiting to see that teeny bopper you promised me in the limo today.”
