That's More Like It

Excitment. That wasn't even the word to describe how she felt. Giddy? Mushy? Like a freaking girl on cloud 9? Perhaps. Ruby was ecstatic beyond belief right now. He was taking her on a date. To where? She had no idea.Was it really a date? Her mind formulated it that way. She was in the bathroom getting ready. A little black strapless dress, black heels and gold earrings (real gold of course) adorned her body. The black dress clinging to her body to show her beautiful curves. Dusk's marks were visible and quite frankly they didn't bother her. She got tired of the staring though. People felt pity towards her until the saw that it was snake outlines. People had assumed she was in a fire accident and had scars. Not quite guys. She ran her finger over her lips smearing on her lips balm before smacking them together. One last check in the mirror before she moved out the bathroom and called out that she was ready. Wherever they were going whatever they were doing, they needed it after this week. Complete elation was what she felt as she moved to the stairs and walked down them, her hand guiding down the banister. Was she hoping to make his jaw drop... maybe.

clicky for her dress

Rasmus' jaw didn't quite drop, but he did remain speechless for several moments as she made her way down to him looking good enough to eat. It was proving a challenge not to sling her over his shoulder, carry her off to their bedroom and ravage her instead of taking her on a civilized and romantic date. His lion growled that niceties were overrated, but Rasmus knew that starting this weekend he was going to put her through hell. And with that in mind, he wanted her to know that he still... loved her. Damn even thinking that word was uncomfortable, even more so than the tailored suit he was wearing.

In all fairness, the suit wasn't that uncomfortable, but Rasmus wasn't used to dressing up like this. Sure some functions required it, but for the most part he was able to get away with underdressing because of his bad boy persona. No so much with Ruby. When she finally reached him, his face split into a grin and he opened the front door for her, the new hummer waiting for them outfront, doors open and engine running. “Ready?” he asked.

She smiled, more so grinned from ear to eat when she saw him all dressed up as well. She couldn't keep the smile off her face really. Something in her chest welled up before she bit at her lip lightly. Her eyes meeting his briefly before he opened the front door for her. He seemed so much different from the first time she met him. It was a good thing, but she could see it. Very small change really something he probably never noticed either. She didn't say anything though. He'd deny it and then they'd argue and ruin a perfectly good night. She knew that this weekend was coming and he was going to work her hard. Harder than she felt was probably possible but she'd give her all. She wouldn't cry either when it got tough because she wasn't much for that. The smile on her face never wavered one bit even as she nodded. "I am." The purring of the Hummer had filled her ears even when she was upstairs getting ready but it got louder the closer to the vehicle they got. She didn't know what she was more excited about - going on a date with him or the surprise of where they were going. Both were equally appealing and made her feel elated.

Once they were in the Hummer she reached her hand over and rested it on his thigh, her own legs (the Hummer quite roomy) and her free hand holding her clutch purse. "So are you still not going to tell me where we're going?" she asked playfully, a grin forming on her face as she looked at him. Damn, he looked good in a suit. It took all her strength just to not reach over and start kissing him and offering to rechristen the Hummer right here and right now. Ruby didn't mind surprises she was just an impatient person. So yes, it ate her but in a good way. "You look rather handsome in this suit, you know."

“And I want to do some indecent things to you in that dress,” he replied as they took off down the street, then seemed to think about it for a moment. “Or out of it, I'm not picky.”

Rasmus didn't bother to fight the arousal her hand on his thigh sent surgiing through him. He couldn't, and instead gritted his teeth, forcing himself to endure as they passed several other vehicles. An answer to her first question was never provided, but he was rather pleased with himself, even if he was dreading an evening of intense boredom. At least for a while.

Soon he was tipping a valet to park his hummer, glowering at the young man so that there was little doubt left as to what would happen to him should the vehicle be returned with so much as a scratch on it. One arm around Ruby's waist held her to him, staking his claim on her before all the other well dressed people attending. The pair of them got several stares as they walked in, and Rasmus was careful to try and keep as many clues from being given away as possible. Though as they were just waiting for their seats now amidst the excited crowd, it was more than likely a wasted effort, especially with the little booklets floating around describing the event.

Seated a few moments later, the curtains were lifted, and the ballet began.

Biting of her lip. It was something she always did and tonight was no exception. Images filtering through her mind of the things he could and would do to her in and out of this dress. Perhaps the real reason she wore it? One of a few. She was his girl and she wanted others to know that his girl was hot and only the best for the best. She couldn't hide the soft chuckle of his glowering at the valet boy. Yes, she wanted the boy to take care of it but she couldn't help but it entertaining when Rasmus was so... Rasmus. Strike fear into someone to make them not want to mess up. She was quite certain had not gotten past his exterior and wasn't in love with the man she'd be more afraid of him and probably wouldn't have gotten herself in trouble this week. Her eyes were curious even as his arm around her, where were they? She saw pamphlets and booklets flooding about but none of them turned the right way at all. She was still excited regardless. They were seated not a few moments after entering and her eyes glued straight ahead before the curtains rose and what she found to a ballet began. Melted. She melted. He had brought her to the ballet. She had never mentioned it to him but wanted to attend here for some time. The dancing in her called to view a wonder like the ballet. She couldn't refrain from leaning over and kissing his cheek before she became fully engrossed in the show.

There was no doubt in her mind that he loved her and if there was before it was gone for the time being. He may not say but he sure as hell had a way of showing her. He had to off remembered her love of dancing and knew she'd like it here. As the ballet grew on she was beyond elated, really enjoying the show but she had to admit her mind did wonder to the things she wanted to do the moment this black dress hit the floor. She tried to keep her lust and desire contained so that she didn't stir him. The show had ended and she was both sad and relieved. Her eyes laying on ever so gratefully. "Thank you, Rasmus. I really, really enjoyed it." She spoke softly her hand landing his cheek for a soft moment before she replaced her hand with her lips and kissed the skin lightly. Now... now she was ready to get home so they could ravage each other. She wanted to feel that heat that only they created.

Rasmus grinned smugly at his lioness as they stood up and began making their way back to pick up the hummer. “You're welcome,” he replied, scenting her arousal. But the night wasn't over yet. As soon as the valet had dropped off the hummer he held open the door for her again before sliding into the driver's seat himself. But they didn't go home.

Instead he took her to a place that hadn't yet opened to the public, a restaurant by the name of Stairway To Heaven. Fall was when it would have it's proper opening, but several well placed bribes and discussions had let him talk the owner and chef into letting him bring his girl here for a special dinner together.

When they entered, they were the only two people readily apparent in the restaurant, at least to human senses. Their own picked up the presence of the chef and waiter just out of sight waiting for them to take their seats in the center of the otherwise empty room at a well prepared table decorated by candle light.

Ruby just couldn't stop grinning at all. Even after he said 'you're welcome'. She was just so elated that he thought of this on his own. Even as they walked to the Hummer, he being a gentleman and opening her door for her. A glimmer in her eyes. Yeah, this man loved her there was no doubt about it in her mind. And even if it did creep up it was shut out. He loved her plain and simple because if he didn't he would have thought of taking her to the ballet at all. She noticed they didn't go in the direction of home and tilted her head a little at him. Dinner, she assumed. She was fine with this because she was a bit hungry. What she didn't expect was where he was taking her. Even as she saw the words she knew that the place was closed and wouldn't be open until later in the year. A puzzled look on her face before she simply washed it with a soft look of happiness.

Then, she melted once again when she realized they were indeed going inside of this place. Her nose easily picked up that it was just them and two other people. Who she assumed would be serving them for the night. She was completely speechless for a moment. Her breath hitching softly. "Rasmus, you didn't..." She looked at him completely and utterly shocked. She knitted her eyebrows. "How?" she inquired curiously. The lone empty table sat a lone with candle light and she just wanted to cry. Happy tears but she wanted to. Overwhelming emotions washing over her. He had to have pulled strings to get the place to themselves and early to boot. It took all she had not to fling herself at him and lavish him in kisses.

“I have my ways,” he answered, immensely pleased by her reaction and chest swelling with pride. He pulled her to him and crushed his lips to hers in a passionate, but brief kiss, pulling away before allowing it to grow into something far more heated. He pulled the chair out for her at the table and sat down with her.

Moments later the waiter was presenting them with their salads. The meal was one specifically selected by the chef and would cover every course, all the way to a lobster and filet mignon entre and a decadent chocolate monstrosity for desert, all while being served a bottle of some whine that was several ages older than either of them.

Once desert was served, the chef and waiter simply faded into the background, waiting for the pair to leave, their services having already been paid for. Rasmus leaned across the table to lick a bit of chocolate remains from the corner of Ruby's lip, grinning mischievously at her as he did so. “Ready to go home?”

The heat that played into the passionate kiss he gave her was astounding. She wanted more of it but this wasn't the place for that. No, he planned such a romantic evening for her and she was beyond speechless about it. To be honest, she didn't think Rasmus was capable of it. He was a bad boy not a romantic man. Not this. This was what really made her see that he had changed and she just failed to notice it until today truly. Yeah she had her assumptions and little things that clued in but this sealed the deal.

The food was utterly delicious. Yes, that level of lust was still there lingering around the two. It was icing on the cake the moment he leaned in and licked the corner of her lip. She grinned, matching his before meeting his eyes. "You better believe I am," she replied, smirking.

He stood up from the table and when they reached the door, again held it open for her. A short walk later and they were in the hummer speeding down the road on their way home. It was a fight to keep his attention on the road, to not reach over and simply fondle like a lummox on the way. He'd have her all to himself properly soon enough, Rasmus told himself over and over again as his lion paced inside of him, causing his eyes to burn amber with lust and agitation.

A blink and eternity later and they were pulling into their driveway. The hummer was barely put into park when Rasmus hopped out, gave a single powerful leap and landed on the other side, tearing open Ruby's door and lifting her up into his arms to carry inside.

The lust that filled the who car ride home was probably hard to breath in. It was obvious they were both fighting and holding it in until the moment the tires of the Hummer hit the pavement of the driveway. She couldn't wait oh god now she couldn't. She liked that he wanted her just as much as she wanted him. A huge grin on her face as he tore open the door and took her in his arms to carry to the house. Immediately her lips found his, kissing him passionately. The very heat created between their lips was heavy, passionate and filled with such hunger. Hunger to feel skin on skin to hear one another's moans of pleasure. Ruby saw no point in seeing other men even now. What they could he could do better by far.

Baby, baby love me, love me in stereo. Wrap both arms around me and don't you ever let go. I wanna hear say you love me in both ears like guitars on the stereo. Ruby didn't care what others thought of the two. This felt right, they felt right. Just one look from the man with those blue eyes and he could easily set her heart on fire. There was nothing better than this.

The stairs are taken in twos and fours to get to the bedroom, and when they finally arrive, Rasmus threw her to the bed on her back, halfway expecting to see the air shimmering with the heat shared between them. In fact there is a small ripple in the air about Ruby, it had become more and more noticeable since her return from that fae prince bastard of hers whenever she was aroused.

Grabbing the hem of her skirt, he tore strait up, not shifting any part of his body and using nothing but raw strength to split the outfit in half, baring her nubile figure. Rasmus growled deep in his chest and fell upon her, mouth falling to her neck to kiss, suckle and nip, before moving up to capture her lips against his while his hands explored her body.

The past few days have been hectic and horrid. For both of them really. Especially for him though. Control, Russel and Ramsey. A very rough few days and all because of her. And honestly she didn't know if they'd every be able to create this heat again. But there it was. Just as passionate and hot is it ever was. She looked up at him with lustful eyes after he threw her onto the bed. Mischief running wild within her. Then the rip of her dress. Fuck that was hot. Especially with just the strength of his two hands. Then his lips at her neck before her lips. Her legs wrapping around his waist even as his hands explored her body. Yes, it felt good to be back to this. Her fingers moved to try and remove his clothing. She needed to feel his skin upon hers. The want and need burning through her veins just as it had before. A purr resounding in her chest.

Rasmus slid off his jacket while her hands frantically worked at the buttons of his shirt, never once breaking the kiss. He grinned into her lips as he felt her purr and pulled back to kiss at her chin, then her neck and finally stopping at her breasts, kissing his way around one of the perfect mounds for a few moments before finally capturing her nipple in his mouth. With his other hand, Rasmus gently but firmly massaged Ruby's other breast, lightly flicking and pinching at the nipple every now and again.

Several moments later, Rasmus replaced his mouth with his other hand, and kissed his way down her flat stomach, pausing to lick playfully at her navel before reaching her bare mound. No matter how many times he saw it, her glistening folds never failed to fascinate him, and he just looked at them for a moment before moving on to kiss her thighs.

For the next few minutes, he kissed her inner thighs and her bare mound, only every now and then making the lightest of contact with her lower lips. He loved feeling her growing more aroused beneath him as he took his hands from her breasts to hold her hips. Finally, his tongue flicked out, ever so slightly roughened, and licked her clit.

Rasmus always knew how set make her feel on fire. Her skin, her body everything reacted to his very touch. It was so hard to imagine someone else making her feel this way. She felt so alive, so complete with him. Their differences, their problems they just seemed to wash away. His shirt was now unbuttoned and even as he kissed her chin then her neck, she pushed his shirt away her fingers now dancing over the bare skin that was him. He was all she'd ever need, all she'd ever want. A moan released when his mouth found her breasts. And he never left either of them untouched. As he suckled one he was massaging the other playfully with his hand. What they had in this moment was all she'd ever need. She didn't know if he had felt the same way but it was how she felt. Both hands on her breast and his mouth moving south - her skin tingling with each touch of his lips. She grew wetter and warmer the closer he got to her womanhood. Her fingers had found their way into the bedding and it was like she was gripping, readying herself for the pleasure he would give her. As his hands moved to her hips she knew it was coming. Then the feeling of his tongue on her clit made her shutter lightly. She bit at her bottom lip and kept her eyes on him. More, she needed more of that feeling now.
