[Hot springs] Wrong move friend...( Sapphire, Graecus, Vuil)

[Ximal]

Control, dominance, a total feeling of empowerment. Liro held his position as a king, the pawns either side of him so easily manipulated. Beats with human form. Simple minds easily twisted, bent folded to his will. The cunning smirk grew as he wrapped his arms around the waists of the women either side of him. A slow simple cold malicious control flickered through his deep black blue eyes. His hands sliding down their waists slowly taking in the smoothness. Simple pieces in this game, finely crafted true, but pawns none the less. Feeling the soft uncorrupted sapphire to his right hand side, simply holding on, but vuil. Ah vuil, a conniving creature. Always held liros interest, especially as he felt her nails rake his chest lightly. Cunning keeping up her idea that he was hers through minor movements and slight changes. Still even simple gestures held their meaning. Even the tone she was using was one of vindication. She was using her assets to her advantage, almost seemingly compliant his lips peeled up into a smile of invitation at her mention of 'that' night. She was good at this game, a piece that had some will within it. Then there was the third piece that remained unaccounted for. The small thief, clearly made uncomfortable by the whole set and stream of events. Liros mind began to formulate a plan. the lubricated and oiled gears of the methodical machine grinding together and churning out a plethora of ideas. Oh tht one would work nicely. "Graeceus was it? i'd like to make you a proposition. Your aa thief and one sorely in need of help if i'm honest. What you need is to learn how to defend yourself. I'd recommend going to see my brother, leon. He's a thief as well, but a much better one. No offence but he's been at it a lot longer than you have. if you tell him i sent you he might train you."One loose thread dealt with onto the second. Liro slid his right hand down below the water an pulled sapphire lower body closer to him pulling her up his body a little more. Now he had two pawns one on each arm and a third viable piece across the board. He'd set the wheels in motion for the third variable but now he ha a docile tiger and a territorial leopard to deal with. how could he play both sides of the field and still take home the win? Simple. playing games is working with what you know and what you have. he knew that the greatest bargaining chip that he had was in fact himself. Since Vuil was all over him like well like she had been, and Sapphire followed what he requested of her without a second thought. Pulling his left arm beneath the water he scooped her light lithe form up in a similar way to how he had before. Just now from a different angle. He twisted his head round to her to Send the small trickles of his own will into her eyes. The maddened electricity pulsing behind his eyes. "Perhpas i may have to take you up on that offer. After all i do remember a...certain few things." Cocking his eyebrow lightly he leant in a little and kissed her, slowly just giving her a strong reminder of that night. Puling away slowly he let her mind linger over that thought as he looked down at sapphire. A look of dominant, strong, powerful was the air he put across as he looked at her. His eyes pulsing with electricity as he looked down at her. Control. Absolute control. He had it. He then did the same to her as he did to vuil. but with les force, bending his head down lightly he leant into kiss her as well. But he squeezed his arm around vuil tighter. This was a battle almost as good as won. All he had to do. Was keep the pieces from seeing each other as a threat. The air of confidence he exhumed was strong. Liro was dominant where Xi was meek. Powerful where Xi was weak. And willing to do anything to achieve what he wanted.

[Sapphire]

She's mocking me. Sapphire thought, and she was. Vuil was claiming Xi as her own, and Sapphire would not stand for it. Ximal talked to Graecus about something but she hardly noticed, then he pulled her body closer to himself. She wouldn't let this chance go. Snaking her legs around his, Sapphire placed her delicate hand on his massive arm. His eyes were practically flaming with dominance and passion when he looked at her. Then, Ximal kissed her. She was so surprised at this happening, however she did enjoy it quit a bit. Sapphire closed her eyes, feeling his firm lips against her own. Without thinking she slipped her tongue in to his mouth. It was so exciting and it felt so good, but not in a regular joyous way. It was different... she liked it, but Vuil probably wouldn't have the same view on the matter as she did.

[Vuil]

Vuil giggled softly as Liro wrapped his arm around her, lifting her up and into his lap. She latched herself around the man, hands locking behind his neck, fingers twisting a few strands of the male's hair around her fingers. The kiss was accepted eagerly, pressing her lips back against his, playfully darting her tongue across his lips. It wasn't as... heated, as their last encounter, but it still drew her in, made her head spin. Left her wanting more, especially when Liro pulled away. Wanting so much that a soft growl rumbled in her throat, wanting to pull him back into her, share more of himself with her. Just her. Forget about the cub that leeched herself to his side. Push her away and forget the rest of the world for another night. Her spinning head, full of emotion and hormones, could only distract her for so long. Especially when Liro, HER Liro, stooped down to kiss that other woman. The anger that had begun to subside came back in full force, eyes narrowing to thin slits. It was taking any and all restraint the leopard had not to dig her nails into Liro's skin. What was he doing? He was HER'S! And she was his! Why was he indulging in this other wo- no, this girl!? Wasn't she good enough!? The tips of her nails pricked against Liro's skin, teeth clenched tight together. She wanted to strike this woman down, tear her apart into little pieces. But she had been told to not fight, so she would not. It wouldn't stop her from imagining what the woman's insides might look like. While her olive green eyes stared at the two, a boiling wrath writhing and twisting in their depths, a slow smirk spread across her lips, cruelty twisting the corners. Fine, she couldn't prevent Liro from sharing his affections, but she could ruin it for the tigress. Leaning in close, her face mere hairs away from their's. "So, how are you enjoying the sloppy seconds, cub?" She asked, her voice low with a fake sweetness. Thick like syrup. "How do I taste on his lips?" Her smile was wider now, taunting and cruel. It might have been a small victory, but Liro had kissed her first, and she was going to rub it in this cub's face.

[Ximal]

As liro pulled away from sapphire he could still taste the pair of them. He knew what he was doing, showing his command over th e more submissive and easily controlled tiger. Whilst enraging and prickling the leopards pride. Putting them sapphire into a state of utter obedience, and pulling Vuil to a point where she would have to hold back her rage. Her nails dug into his skin like they has that night. Good, make your self even more evocative. Bring your self closer to the beast i remember. As Liro pulled back he could feel a maniacal yet still conniving and pleasant smile still on his face. As Vuil leaned in to asser t her dominance Liro simply waited for her to pull her head back. Letting those thick poison coated words linger around sapphires head for a few moments. If those didn't arouse and light some kind of fire within her then she had much better control of herself than liro had accounted for. Liro was playing both sides against the core point. Himself. Just to see who would go further to make him theirs without physical violence. Liro then leaned in close to Vuil's right ear,and tongued the words in slowly, sweetly pulling on the already drawn and brought forth emotions, the pulling signs that she was showing. The total owner ship she felt over him. He would play on that. "You don't like seeing me kiss another woman? You feel angry over it? Why don't you try channelling that anger back into what i remember from that night, the pure animalistic force you brought forth. Try to pull my attention further towards you. That is if you really want to repeat that night. Letting those simple words sit and emulate themselves seep into vuil he knew he;s strike a chord with her. Pull the right note, and make her sing the tune and dance the dance he desired. Turning his attention back to the submissive and almost child like sapphire, he would use the same tactics that he used with vuil but with a slightly more dominant note, let her feel that she had to pull him further to wards her, that Vuil was already winning. Bringing his lips slowly towards her left ear he whispered slowly. Teasingly almost with an air of pure control over her. "Are you going to let a woman you've never seen before steal me away from you ? And leave you alone again ? Where's your will to fight back? I know i said no fighting, so why not beat her at her own game? Why not show her that i'm yours and not hers, without the aid of violence?" He'd spoken to both vu and saph with such quiet words that he was almost certain that neither heard what he had said to the other. If they had then his plan for fun was ruined, his game spoiled. If not, then perhaps, he could play this out a little longer before he had to relinquish control back to that insufferable oaf.

[Sapphire]

Sapphire was already losing, she couldn't just hand Ximal over to that girl. She had to make a real move on him this time or she might lose this fight. No violence no violence. Pulling herself up closer to his head, she pressed her body closer to his and wrapped her leg around his. Then she rubbed her hand slowly across his face, dragging her cat-like nails down his cheek. "Xi, you don't want to waste your time with this little kitty, how about we just go back to our little tent outside of the city. Besides, you wouldn't leave me in this dangerous city without her, I need protection." She tried to make her voice as alluring as she possibly could, but if she hit the wrong key, then the melody might hit a sour note. They were playing a song and if one of them played it wrong the whole thing would go down in a scramble of different emotions and chords. Ximal was conducting them and they were just the instruments in his production. The first instrument to play the wrong note would break, and Sapphire wasn't about to let that be her. "What do you say Xi?"
