Crowded Party

[Atreya Valera]

Atreya walked behind him, admiring his body as they moved. Everyone seemed to follow his orders exactly and rarely did they give an argument.

He seemed used to giving orders and having people follow them swiftly. She watched as he pushed the button and then marveled at the large quarters.

Once he sat down she gathered her skirt and pulled it up so that she could sit near him, considering his question. "Ooh I see... What do you wish to know? I'm a dancer... A better bodyguard than you previously had..."

She grinned and leaned forward, " Some other things have to be discovered." she stared up into his eyes, blood and desire coursing through her body as she watched him.

Did she desire him, yes of course she did. Was she going to give him everything on the spot, no.

Viktor looked at [member="Atreya Valera"] for a moment before speaking.

"I don't remember inviting you to sit Miss Valera."

He took a sip of his drink.

"The Captain has been in and survived more battles than you know even existed." "He is a very capable soldier and bodyguard." "However failure is not looked at very kindly in Imperial Society and even less kindly among the Sith." "Especially when such failure occurs in public among witnesses."

He gave her a look of a man not to be trifled with.

"Now I detest having to repeat myself but I am in a forgiving mood." "Do not think to take advantage of it." "Answer the question."

 

[Atreya Valera]

Atreya looked back, meeting his gaze evenly. Her deep red lips pursed closed as she considered his words the stood up quickly, looking to him, "Sorry Sir, got ahead of myself.."

She paused a moment, looking at the couch as she chose her words carefully. "First of all I can be very private about the affairs of my employer. I can blend in or be noticed as I -and you-would require. I also have a deep interest in the workings of politics, but no desire to be in the spotlight of such things."

She looked to him, offering a light smile to him, "I also have an interest in being your companion, in fitting in seemlessly with your team."

She but her lip lightly, her eyes measuring him, "I wish to attend to your needs" she whispered softly, "you interest me. May I join you, please, or get you anything?"

She smiled and gatheredher hair, pulling it away from her face so that he could see her eyes again.

Victor chuckled looking at [member="Atreya Valera"] taking another sip of his drink.

"My team Miss Valera?" "My team consists of me." "Sure I may on occasion surround myself with competent people to fill individual roles as need." "That does not make them equals."

He looked her up and down.

"So why should it be you?" "Are you just a pretty face or do you actually have something I can't live without?"

 

[Atreya Valera]

"That is up to you if you want to have me, isn't it? I can tell you that I am more than a pretty face or a good body. I think that I have shown you that I can be useful."

She arches her eyebrow in thought, "It is going to be your decision Sir. Though, I imagine you are always in control of the decisions."

She smiled softly and ran her fingers through her hair, letting it fall in around her features naturally.

[member="Viktor Alexander"]
"What is it that you need?"

 

[Kenrath]

Viktor cocked an eyebrow.

"What you have shown me is you lack self control, mettle in things that are not your affair and are unable to go five minutes without either biting your lip or playing with your hair." "You cost me a bodyguard that has been with me for years and I am supposed to take that as a good thing?"

He finished off the drink in his hand leaning forward for just a split second to set it on the table in front of him before leaning back again. He looked at her for a moment before speaking again.

"Would you consider that a fair assessment........more importantly an accurate assessment." "If not do please enlighten me as to what you think would be a fair assessment of today's events."

[member="Atreya Valera"]

 

[Atreya Valera]

She stared at him, equally his gaze as she steadied herself, "No, it's not a fair or accurate assessment. That man would have had hands on you if I had not intervened. And if you have a problem with what I do with my hair... Or my lips, you had better get over that or hire me to stop me."

Her eyes stared into his as she reached for the empty glass on instinct before he set it on the table. She leaned back then and blinked, her eyes going softer, "I would follow you Sir, keep you company as you required, give you space as you require. I'm not out for anything else other than a new life, a new place. I figured..."

She trailed off and looked away, "Forgive me, I have been speaking too much. You have your choice, make it, please?" Her voice was light, submissive to him, willing to be molding into whatever, whoever he needed and wanted.

[Kenrath]

Viktor smirked at [member="Atreya Valera"] when she looked away from him. It was entertaining...........but not very.

"I suppose it would not hurt to give you an audition................."

His voice trailed off for a moment as his eyes narrowed at her.

"..................but if you ever dream of giving me an order again I will cut out your tongue." "I make decisions in my own time."

He slowly stood and methodically stalked towards her. Reaching out he grabbed a handful of her hair pulling on it forcing her chin towards the ceiling. He smiled looking into her eyes before he let go walking over to refresh his own drink wondering why he was doing it himself instead of her doing it.
