@angelsandlust Karine and Killian
As Rin stood speaking with the older men who'd been coming to her performances for years, she put on the face she used for those who she knew were important. Mikhail her uncle never invited anyone that wasn't important for her career or for the family. As she listened, nodding and smiling where she needed to, she looked around the room. The time for her to get married slowly approached but Mikhail still hadn't said if he'd chosen. She wasn't sure how he could when there never seemed to be a single man who came around to get to know her. In truth she was surrounded by the same people she'd been interacting with since Primary school.
Before she knew it, her eyes locked on the one person she knew would be there. He stood wearing a sleek suit, only a few tattoos on his one hand showing but she knew he had so many more. He was dangerous and so handsome it made her heart hurt to know that one day she wouldn't see him. There were girls standing around him and with that, she thought she could at least watch him for a moment, live in her fantasy where he would carry her out and have his way with her but instead of getting to daydream her interaction with the old men away, Rin found his eyes locked on hers.
There was no way he knew what those women were saying to him, his predatory gaze almost sent a chill down her body and she could feel herself reacting to him even though he was across the damn room. With her chest flush and her cheeks bright pink, Karine returned to the conversation in front of her. That was, until one of the older Russian men placed his hand on her waist.
She couldn't pull away from him. Rin couldn't even excuse herself because he was one of the most powerful Oligaches in her homeland. Instead she tried to step to the side but she felt his fingers digging into her flesh. Her eyes now darting around the room, the man's words whispered to her were ones that almost scared her, wondering if he would be the man who she'd be married to.
"I'm so sorry you've lost your wife, Mr. Romanov. Mrs. Romanova was so beautiful and young. Will you be taking a new wife to help take care of your children."

Dimitri walked up next to Killian, smiling at the young blond woman that was now looking at him. Winking at her, he looked over the room because he could feel the tension in Killian's presence. "Kill, you look like you might murder someone. Did you and Rinny have another tiff."
The words seemed off because he always teased his best friend but something was actually wrong. Looking out over the large gathering of people, he looked at his cousin and knew he was going to get it from Kill and probably his uncle as well. That woman couldn't ever stay out of trouble because she always was too nice. He sighed, "you want to go take care of her or do you want me to go get her." He knew from the look that he wasn't doing anything but fullowing Kill but staying back just enough so that they didn't look threatening to the old man. He grabbed the girl's hand and tugged her with him.
"Beautiful, I need a reason to stand close to my cousin without actually being right there and she's by the dance floor so I hope you don't mind doing me the honor of dancing with me. I promise I don't bite unless you ask me."
