Talk is Cheap - Booze is Cheaper (Sam)[MATURE]

[Damien Kross, Jester]

OOC- Sam Ballerino only. Takes place before park meeting with Kate.

Another day at the Court... Another day of feeling like shit about myself for being leashed to a vixen. Ugh... yeah, life kinda blows. As I thought this, I was sitting in my cozy chair, watching Reno 911, playing with a deck of cards... Existence was... boring lately... I had finished my latest Magic the Gathering deck... Blightning/Jund aggro of course... I had already written some new poetry. I had already done laundry...

Oh Lord... Was I bored because Jester was gone?

No, can't be. That would be absurd...

Wait, I know... As horrible as it sounds... I know what the answer to my problems is! It is all so clear to me now!

- - - - -

"Hey Sam, it's Damien." I'd say into my cell phone. "Wan't to come to the Court? Ricardo is in town and not too far away." I would be playing with a card in my hand, twiddling around with it before throwing it across the room like a circular saw.

Weapons are fun.

[Sam Ballerino]

Sam was just packing up her things. Her last dance class of the day had just finished, and now she had to... well, actually she had nothing to do. How odd.

She sighed, wiping her face with a towel and trying to pretend her hair wasn't an absolute mess when her phone rang. She picked it up without looking at the caller ID. "Ciao?" It was around the time her father would be calling to lecture her on her Aikido classes, and school, and how she needed to do well. But it wasn't his voice she heard.

"Hey Sam, it's Damien. Want to come to the Court?" Well, that was much better than lectures in Italian. Sam smiled. "Impeccable timing," she said. "Sure, I'd love to, as long as you don't mind me looking like I just ran a marathon. I got out of dance a minute ago."

Assuming he didn't mind, she'd tell him where the studio was, not far from her house, and wait for Ricardo to pick her up.

Once at the Court, Damien would find her in the waiting room, not quite sure if it would be rude to assume she could just walk right in.

[Damien Kross, Jester]

After getting word from Ricardo that Sam had arrived, I smiled, rose from my chair, and began to head towards the waiting room. I was in leisure attire- a dark purple robe, barefoot, hair down, and a glass of RKO in my hand.

Part of me noted it would most likely be the only time in recorded history she'd get to see me with my hair down. Lucky gal.

"Well, there you are." I said with a smile as I stood in the doorway. "Glad to see you could make it. I'm bored out of my fucking skull." I motioned for her to follow me. "I was hoping you'd help me deal with some of that boredom. If you want to clean up first, you know where your room is. I'll be in my Leisure Chamber regardless."

I pointed down the hall to an open door, then proceeded towards it.

[Sam Ballerino]

Sam turned as he walked in, dressed in a robe with a drink in hand. He looked different with his hair down, she thought. Sam grinned. "Can't have you walking around bored out of your skull, can we?" She giggled. "I would love to clean up, actually. I'll be back in a few." She jogged up the stairs to her room - her room. Still an unfamiliar thought. And yet not unwelcome. She smiled to herself as she walked in. Yep, still the giddy feelings. Man, she liked this room.

She took a quick shower, relishing the large bathroom, and even taking advantage of the great acoustics to sing a few songs. She dried off and got dressed, making her way back downstairs to the door that Damien had pointed to. She peeked her head in, looking for her mentor.

[Damien Kross, Jester]

The Leisure Chamber, as I called it, was a very cozy little area. It was the major room for recreation and entertainment. A large TV, bar, massive couch, and other such commodities filled the space. Unlike the other rooms, there was no set color theme here... The objects were whatever color interested me... more like a regular house than a master plan.

Sam would find me sitting on the large couch, my eyes half-interested by a comedy special on TV. It was a good Ron White performance, but someone can only hear the story of Tater Salad so many times... I would hear her enter and turn my head to the doorway.

"Well well, there's my little songbird." I patted the couch space next to me. "Have a seat love." I raised an eyebrow. "I don't bite."

[Sam Ballerino]

She blushed lightly. Songbird? He hadn't heard... Oh, that wasn't embarrassing at all. She hadn't been that loud, had she?

She entered the room, taking a seat next to him and curling her bare feet underneath her like a cat as she looked around. The room didn't have the same color scheme as the rest of the place did, but it didn't look tacky at all. It looked... normal. Still a little on the high side, financially, but interesting.

She spared a glance for the comedian on the television, but it as no one she recognized, so she turned to Damien, tilting her head playfully.

"So... bored out of your skull, hmm? How do you think I might be able to help with that?"

[Damien Kross, Jester]

"Oh, I'm sure we can think of something." I said with a sly smile. "I do recall us not being bored last time... and the time before that..." I shrugged. "I figured you were good at whatever you were doing..."

Yeah, I was hinting at what she knew I was hinting at... Meh, there was no shame in a friends-with-benefits situation... If anything, it was less messy than a relationship... plus, this would get my min of Kate for now...

It was also amusing to wonder how long it would take her to discover that under the robe, I was wearing absolutely nothing... The sash kept everything hidden... buuuut... Secrets always have a way of getting out.

[Sam Ballerino]

Sam smirked. So that's what he wanted. She was okay with that. She was definitely okay with that. She was still getting used to the 'friends-with-benefits' title, but she was quickly adjusting.

"Yeah, we did manage to keep ourselves amused, didn't we?" She looked him up and down, fully registering for the first time that he was wearing a robe - and that she had no idea what was under it, if anything. Part of her was a little worried, but the other part of her was just curious.

She snickered, that smirk still on her face as she leaned away from him, stretching her body out on the couch. "I was good, though, hmm?" Yeah, she was fishing for compliments. Was that so wrong? A girl likes to feel special.

[Damien Kross, Jester]

I would watch with a raised eyebrow as she fell backwards onto the couch, and slowly, with my eyes locked on hers, I would crawl on top of her, pressing myself down onto her. With the pressure being applied, it would be obvious to tell the lack of clothing now, but regardless, my mouth would still travel to her neck, dragging my tongue slowly up it.

"Well, I was doing most of the work..." I teased, whispering into her ear. I would continue to kiss her neck and trace the rim of her ear with my tongue. "Unless you care to prove me wrong this time."

Now I can find out how she felt about this... About the whole benefits thing. It wasn't a one-way street. I wanted attention too... Badly.

[Sam Ballerino]

Oh. OH. She knew what was underneath that robe now. Their eyes remained locked as he crawled on top of her, and her heart began pounding harder as his tongue made it's way up her neck to her ear. She grinned. He was pretty much right. The past couple times they'd gotten together to 'deflect boredom,' most of the time was spent pushing Sam's boundaries. But did Damien have boundaries?

Her hand would come up behind his head and she'd gently nudge his cheek with her own, forcing his tongue away from her as her lips moved to his neck, giving him the same attention he'd just been giving her.

"If you want me to prove you wrong, I can certainly try," she whispered. A bold statement, especially coming from her... especially about this. But somehow she didn't mind saying it, didn't mind anything it might mean. At least in this moment. She might come to her senses later, but now was now, and later was later.

[Damien Kross, Jester]

OoOoOo, so she wanted to try and push me...? Hehe, I could work with this. I could definitely work with this. It appeared as though she was beginning to grow some more guts when it came to us experimenting.

Se began to return the affection, and I allowed her to without resistance. However, I wouldn't allow it to be one-way just yet. i would return the whisper.

"Show me how wrong I am." I smiled. "You think you can push me to my limit just as I did to you?" I flashed her a devious, seductive grin. I knew exactly what I was asking her... But the question I kept asking myself was... How far WOULD I go?

[Sam Ballerino]

Sam grinned right back at him, but she didn't answer, mainly because she didn't know. Would she be able to push him to his limit before she reached hers? Of course there was always a possibility; but then again, there was a possibility of her winning the lottery, too.

So she ignored his question, choosing instead to kiss him full on the mouth, her other arm coming up to wrap around him as well, and her legs moving to wrap around his body as she pulled him closer, even daring to push her hips up slightly against his.

Growing more guts, indeed.

[Damien Kross, Jester]

The girl beneath me was beginning to experiment more. Well, this would be a welcome attempt. It perked my curiosity that she now used the very move that made her stop last time- using the hips. Thanks to the sash around my waist, the situation was kept from getting too spicy, at least for the moment. Sashes had a bad habit of coming loose with lots of contact.

I imagined what might happen if the sash were to come undone, revealing my entire front to my apprentice. Not only would it be funny as hell, her reaction could even prove to be an... 'exciting' experience.

"Girl, if you're trying to push my limits, you aren't doing it yet." I would tease. "If it helps your mind see things a little differently, I'll just go ahead and let you know-" I brought my mouth to her ear. "-this robe is all I'm wearing."

[Sam Ballerino]

Sam's eyes widened slightly as she heard him speak. Oh boy. She felt her stomach turn, but whether it was nerves or excitement she couldn't quite tell. Maybe both. Just the fact that she had a practically naked man on top of her... a very attractive naked man... her mind was running wild.

She smirked, but didn't reply, but her lips moved to his neck again. Her arms pulled in, moving underneath his and winding their way around him underneath the robe, pulling the material partially open in the front. Her hands moved slowly up and down his back and sides, and her legs pulled a little bit tighter as she trailed kisses up his neck and back to his lips, pushing gently inside his mouth with her tongue

She knew she probably wasn't getting near to pushing his limits yet, but why rush? She was gonna take her sweet time about it. Which would serve her a dual purpose of teasing him by making him wait, and allowing to steel her nerves and discover just how far she could press her own boundaries.

[Damien Kross, Jester]

Okay, now we were getting somewhere. Her hands were beginning to explore what was under the robe... But then I wondered how long it would take her to allow her hands to trail down- to explore what she hadn't seen before.

I decided to play with her- to give her things to think about. It would be fun to see how she reacted to my temptation. If she resisted my charms, she was a strong person. If she didn't, then this evening would become very entertaining.

"Mmmm... That's better." I said to her, egging her on. "But you can do better. At least, you will if you truly intend on pushing my limits." I smiled and ran my tongue along her ear.

Come on. Try me.
