The smile turned devilish as the music started, something upbeat and had the feet moving quickly.  She pulled Raven to her in a swirl so that her back ended up against Marie’s chest, then raised her arms and came around, ending up in front of her, one hand taking the witch by the waist as they danced, slipping easily through the crowd.

She allowed herself to be lead onto the dance floor, chuckling when she was spun around. To her surprise, she didn’t hate the feeling as much as she thought she would. The occasion bumps from other bodies on the floor still irritated her to no end but it was do-able. Sorta. “You do this a lot?” She motioned between them with her free hand. “Dancing with strangers who could be serial killers.”

“hmm, yes, drinks aside, what brings a beautiful woman to a company party…haven’t actually seen you work here.” he paused. “but i could be mistaken, i did miss half a year after all.” 

[ravenhuxley-blog]

She scoffed and sipped at her glass. “I don’t work here.” She paused. “Or I guess I kind of do now. I don’t even know,” she murmured, finishing her drink and stood up. She stumbled a bit before straighting up. “Time for me to go. Goodbye doctor…what? Wait, don’t say it. I don’t really care,“ she finished with a wave before stumbling her way out of the party.

The human’s expression softened and she left the bar and extended a hand, posing in a gallant stance.  “I’m honored,” she said, eyes twinkling and a smile on her lips.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

The corner of her lips curled just slightly before rolling her eyes. She stood up herself, making sure she didn’t step on her dress as she placed her hand on top of the woman’s. “Uh huh, let’s get to the dancing.”

Her agressiveness excited him. Her nimble hands on his buttons. Their mouths pressing hard together. His lips parting for her allowing her more access. He cringed slightly as the old masks hit the floor but they were soon forgotten as she was stripping him. Soon his midriff was bare and he was breathless. His hands found their way from the wall to her hip pulling her aggressively towards him. He broke their kiss to look down at her. “This dress needs to go. Now.” He growled at her.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

She growled as he pulled away, her hands placed against his now bared chest, breathlessly. She huffed and arched her chest forward, raking her nails along the bared skin. “Seriously?” She said in breaths. “You’re going to make me do all the work?” She reached down toward his pants and unbuttoned it with a flick of her hand. “You want it off? Start moving.”

“Then why are you here?” She asked, her voice growing hard and chocolate eyes going from warm to cool, alike to marbles as her eyebrows came together and mouth formed a line. “I’m asking because I’d rather you join in than sit here, sullen. Please, Raven. Share a dance with me. Enjoy yourself.”

[ravenhuxley-blog]

“Why indeed,” she murmured, swirling the new glass of drink in hand. Her eyes was trained on the brown liquid as it splashed against the glass surface. Her brows knitted together as the question ran in her mind. She glanced over to the woman, giving her a long hard stare before trailing over to the sea of bodies that was moving along the dance floor. She let out a sigh and shook her head. “I’m definitely going to regret this,” she murmured, downing the drink and placing it down. “Fine. One dance.”

Cade pulled her away from the party and into the night. It was if luck had shined upon him and he caught a taxi quickly outside. He gave the driver his address before turning to Raven. He pulled her towards him into a kiss. It seemed like minutes before he was pulling her through the door of his penthouse.

He pressed her up against the wall with a smile. His hands placed on either side of her head. “So?” he whispered, “What next Ms. Huxley?” He was daring her. Testing her. He wanted to see her next move once he had her alone.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

Raven followed Cade into the taxi and within a beat, she found herself kissing the man with her fingers running through his hair. Before she even had a chance to proceed, he had pulled her out of the taxi and into his place, pushing her against the wall in just a span of minutes.

She glanced at the hands next to her face, a look of annoyance at the sudden halt in advancement. Her fingers flicked forward, undoing the buttons on his suit before pulling him in by the collar of his undershirt. “Why are you asking so many stupid questions?” She growled, eyeing at his lips before surging in, crashing her lips onto his.

When the nose of their masks collided, Raven growled and pulled back, lifting hers over her face and dropped it to the floor. Doing the same to his mask, she dropped it along with her forgotten mask and began riding of his clothes while attacking him with hard kisses.

“It was more of an offer, but have it your way,” he replied, then ordered another drink. he was going to need the extra ‘help’

he took a few sips of his drink then put it down and turned to look at the party going on.  “so, what brings you out here anyways?” 

[ravenhuxley-blog]

“You mean besides the free drinks?” She murmured, tapping along the counter impatiently for the next filled glass. The next glass of dark liquid came into her view and she took hold of it immediately.

His eyebrow raised at her bluntness. Women often liked his coy games and once again the one in front of him surprised him. He chuckled slipping a hand around her waist pulling her in. “Your place or mine?” he whispered before placing a kiss on her jaw line and grabbing her by the hand pulling her through the crowed. He was intent on reaching their destination as quickly as he could.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

She made no move from the small kiss that was planted on her jaw. As she processed the question, she tilted her head to the side and replied with a cool ‘yours’. She allowed him to pull her along as she lifted up the end of her dress and followed him out of the aggravating party.

Cade smiled over at her. “Less of a compliment and more of a statement.” he said following her eyes around the room “Parties I can enjoy. Halloween. That is something I’d rather not get into.” He took a sip of his drink. “That Ms. Huxley is something I know for a fact.” He gave her a playful wink.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

Raven stared at the man. Her expression didn’t betrayed any of her emotions as she glanced intensely from the covered face, all the way to the bottom of the well assembled outfit. Scoffing, she shook her head before downing the rest of the drink in her glass, pushing it away with a sigh. “Okay, cut the crap.” She leaned in closer. “Do you want to get out of here and have some hot sex or not?”

Cade chuckled at her thought process. His hand reached up and gently touched the mask. “Mm. I think plenty would miss it. But no one would look as lovely in it as you do luv.” he said smoothly before motioning to the bartender for a drink. “You do look lovely tonight. Though I wouldn’t of thought an Agency party would be your cup of tea.” He stated his eyes still wandering over her, the dress was simply stunning on her.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

Raven leaned back at the sudden touch in surprise, eyeing the man a bit more closely. The mask and suit did suited him well. A little too well. Of course, it is all alcohol talk, because the corner of her lips are slowly curling into a smirk. “A compliment?” She let out a laugh. “Really? Do you want a thank you?” She prompted, leaning against the counter before giving the place a rather indifference look. “I don’t like parties,” she murmured before lifting the glass in hand. “I do like free alcohol.”

Marie finished her drink and set the glass down with an audible clink, the smile dropping from her face for the first time.  “Raven,” she said, her voice still light and even, “the world is a hard place.  It is cruel.  We’re trying to have what fun we can.  While we can.  Why not join in?”

[ravenhuxley-blog]

“You don’t need to tell me twice,” Raven snapped, snatching up the new glass of drink and downed it in one go. She placed the cup down just a little too harshly, cracking her neck to the side. “Fun,” she echoed flatly. “I don’t even have a single clue what that even means, let alone join in on it.” Her eyes flickered to the woman skeptically. “Why are you so persistent?” She asked with a frown. “I have nothing to offer you.”

Nix stared at her intrigued but before he could speak another voice broke the silence. “Hopefully the free drinks doesn’t encourage her to get one kind of every beer here.” a man in a mask joked as he slid up to the bar as well. “Ms. Huxley. I see you ‘borrowed’ a mask for yourself.” he grinned before turning to the reaper. “Caderyn Blake. Reporter.” The reaper took his hand and shook it. “Phoenix. Just Phoenix. Leaving.” he said before picking up his drink.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

Raven didn’t even bothered to see the unknown man off and before she knew it, the seat was occupied once again by a familiar face. She rolled her eyes at the demon’s comment, pushing up the mask for it to sit better on the bridge of her nose. “There were two. Borrowing one is borrowing. Borrowing two is still borrowing. I might as well borrow them both,” she said with a shrug. “I didn’t think anyone would miss it.”

He raised an eyebrow with intrigue. “No. I don’t think there is anything you could help me with.” he chuckled before sipping the fresh drink. “Just making sure you don’t hate me entirely for a small bump.” he joked. The reaper was already partially tipsy at this point and regretting staying at the party.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

“Hate you?” She asked incredulously, barking in laughter. “No, I don’t hate you for almost spilling my drinks. I’m not that frugal.” She pulled back and shrugged. “At least not with free stuff. Lucky you.”

“A little bit, yeah,” she admitted, her eyes twinkling with humor as she watched the other woman, taking to sipping her drink now, rather than just downing it.  “But then again, who else is going to give me some truly withering commentary, eh?”

[ravenhuxley-blog]

“Delightful,” she snorted, finishing the glass with ease. "Stick around and you’ll get plenty of that. I wouldn’t want to disappoint the prince now, would I?” She bowed her head slightly and shook her head with a scoff. “I do suggest that you should get a different hobby.”

“I can see that,” Levi replied with a sigh as he put the toy back in his coat pocket. He brought a stool up, then another, “maybe you should sit back down?”

[ravenhuxley-blog]

“Maybe you should stop telling me what to do,“ she growled in annoyance as she pushed against the mask that is scratching her nose. She lifted the glass toward her lips, frowning when she was met with nothing.

The reaper sighed. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with such a person but it was entirely his fault. His eyes caught hers, “Sorry. Clumsy feet.” he said pointing to his long legs. “You didn’t spill on yourself because of me?” he asked as his drink arrived. He shot it back in one go and motioned for a refill before returning his gaze her way.

[ravenhuxley-blog]

Raven glanced at her drinks with a frown, “I’m not the one with the clumsy feet,” she mumbled and settled herself down on one of the stool, hooking the loose hair behind her ear for the tenth time. She finally drank both the glass in one go, pushing them away immediately. She let out a grunt as the liquid hit her throat. Leaning against her fist, she turned and stared right at the man. “Can I help you with something?”
