[Day 5 - Mid Evening] In Need of a Fixer (Closed)

[Bayushi Mariko]

"It would have been a pretty lonely night in this hotel if you gave up, I'll have to admit." She giggled as she playful trailed a finger up and down his chest. "Even though nothing was going to happen, I'm still very grateful for your courage, Rei."

With that, she leaned into him to give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"It's not a challenge." She chuckled at the idea and let out a slow sigh. "I guess it would be my just desserts if something like that was done to me, I'm an awful woman when it comes to invoking drama. But I'm happy to hold the games. Especially, when you've had enough in your life already. We'll do fewer thrills next time and we can save a little more about me over drinks."

She gave a few nods as she gave him a reassuring pat on the arm. "There's nothing hard about it, we just need a little more time together."

[Usagi Rei]

Rei grinned at her, purring softly at her touch of her finger. "Two rooms, and you all by yourself. That would have been a tragedy. This is actually very flattering, from that perspective." Besides all the effort, she'd rented two rooms to have sex with him... he closed his eyes, murmuring pleasantly, squeezing her more tightly to himself at her praise.

"Well..." Rei shook his head back and forth, smiling. "That's good, really. Maybe not no games. I won't deny that I like a bit of a thrill myself. You're sexy as anything, but you're also fun, Mariko." He grinned at her. "And I look forward to finding more about you when we finally do get that quiet drink."

His hands tightened around her waist, some of his fire clearly returning. "Although there is something I'm curious about. What did you enjoy most about your game tonight? Was it the feeling of danger? Of not knowing what was going to happen next? Of being in control? I suddenly find myself wanting to know."" His lips trailed along her jawline, breath caressing her ear.

"It's a bit of a sin among the Scorpion to plan for plan's sake..." she said as she glanced off slightly, knowing full well how much effort she put into this. "But I think it was well worth it. That, of course, with a box of contraceptives and instant noodles. Thankfully, they rent by the hour here. This lends itself well for rather creative and naughty minds?"

"Well, maybe I'll consider something with just a little dress up then..." she shifted her shoulder in a small shrug as she teased him with the idea.

Mariko giggled as he held her closer and she would put her leg around his with that encouragement. "I think I had some idea of knowing what would happen next but not all of it. Still, I don't think I'd ever do something like this without having a lot of control. I may be a bit...daring but I'm not reckless. Telling you to toss away your weapons would potentially give the plot away. And the danger and the dramatics are a good part of it. Of course, in a way, I am getting 'punished' for my scheme but I'm sure the enjoyment was mutual there," she said as she adopted a sly expression with her fingers tracing his arm.

[Usagi Rei]

Rei's eyes glinted as he smiled at her. "Well. The effort was very much worth it. As was the creativity." His hand brushed tenderly across her face. "And as for dress-up, well, you certainly have my attention." That was growing more true by the moment.

Hands tightening around her waist, he pulled her fully atop him, purring at the sensation. "Is that so? Well, perhaps we should see if you can keep control. Or..." Squeezing her form against his, he rolled, ending up atop her, face to face. "-if you'll end up getting punished again."

He kissed her then, deep and powerful. Honesty and tenderness, it seemed, had stoked his passion nearly as effectively as the fear and adrenaline had before...

[Bayushi Mariko]

"Now...that's a challenge I'd love for you to try. I guess you know full well that I don't mind either." She said as her hand roamed his shoulders now that she was put atop of her. "I think you'll find that my creativity doesn't just end with schemes..."

There were no further words from her as she pulled into that kiss, which she returned in kind with a growing hunger in her. She was not going to turn down anything if Rei had more to give her...
