Red and the Horned Beauty (Cross Ikon)

[Rik'Tani]

"Or extremely Spiced," Rikki added, taking another gulp of her drink. As they chatted, the music changed up on the dance floor. It was a hypnotic, almost haunting melody. The language of the song was unknown to her, but she liked it all the same. People were beginning to slow-dance with each other to it. She looked over at Cross. "Do you... Feel like dancing?" She asked casually.

"Heh, The guy is supposed to ask you to dance, Rikki!"

I passed my hand over my face, and made a pseudo-serious expression.

"May I have this dance, m'lady?"

 

[Rik'Tani]

Rikki rolled her eyes, smirking. "I don't know, can you?" She teased, grabbing his hand and pulling him out to the dance-floor. She wasn't the best dancer in the Galaxy, but she was still pretty good. Despite her shocking appearance, she was quite graceful on her feet.

Oh, look. I was slow dancing with a beautiful woman. For the first time in eight centuries. And I didn't even step on her. Apparently, even I could get rusty after all that time, though. Cos I totally lost the step of the dance.

"You know, I think I like this song. And the woman I'm dancing with."

I stepped in a little closer.

 

[Rik'Tani]

Rikki chuckled. "I like the song, too. And the man I'm dancing with." She said, coming closer to Cross as well. Her body was now pressed against his, her arms wrapping around his neck. Her face was mere inches away."You know, I've never actually danced with a man like this before. It's very.... Different." She purred, her eyes searching his face.

"Is different good in this case? Cause this is the best different I've ever had."

I grinned. She was looking around my face, probably searching for some evidence of what I was going to do....

There wasn't any. I bent my head down and kissed her.

Rikki was genuinely surprise as Cross kissed her. She hadn't expected it which was strange. Nevertheless, she liked it. Her hands moved to cup his face. They were barely moving at this point, as they were a bit distracted. When she finally pulled away, she was blushing. "Well..... Um..... you certainly know how to sweep a girl off her feet," She stammered.

[Cross Ikon]

"Funny... I'm out of practice."

I hugged her close.

"Before I hit stasis, we probably would've been kissing ten minutes ago. If this is sweeping, I must've been drop-kicking before."

A melodic laugh came from Rikki. "Sounds painful. All the more irresistible for me." It was a known fact that Zabraks had a high tolerance and/or enjoyment of pain. She was no exception to that. Her thumbs lightly caressed Cross's cheekbones. "I like a man with experience."

"And I like the fact that you didn't just kick my ass for admitting that. I think we're gonna have real fun together."

I let Rikki stroke my cheek, and I put my forehead to hers.... Which was a bad idea because I got stabbed by her horns. Oh well. Pleasure and pain were best mixed together.

"How would you like to be a captain of a ship? A big ship."

[Rik'Tani]

Rikki let out a barely audible sigh when Cross's forehead was accidentally poked by one of her horns. The tips of her horns were surprisingly very sensitive, despite their sturdy appearance. "A ship? My my, you're on a roll, Red. I just happen to be in the market for one." She replied.

"You can have a wing of capital ships. The only catch is that you'd be my subordinate, Vice Admiral."

I ginned and kissed her forehead, carefully avoiding her horns this time.

[Rik'Tani]

"Oooo, Vice Admiral. Real fancy..... Will I get to choose my own crew?" She asked. Before Cross answered, she added, "And will you promise to call me Rikki? I don't think I could handle 'Vice Admiral' in the bedroom." She joked.

"Well... You can choose your officers, but my sister in law aparrently claimed dibs on one of the ships when we get crews. And of course I'll call you Rikki. Sleeping with subordinates is a big no no."

She looked a little worried at that, so I continued.

"Or it would be if I wasn't the guy making the rules in the navy.... There still aren't any."

[Rik'Tani]

"I've always enjoyed a good scandal. Spices up the workplace." She moved her arms so that she was hugging his back. She rested her head on his shoulder, lightly kissing his neck.

"Scandal, eh? We could just run off for a bit.... Except that the freaking Battle Dragon I fly around isn't exactly inconspicuous."

I brushed the stubbl on my face across Rikki's neck.

"Of course, we could just get really, really drunk. That would do it for now."

[member="Rik'Tani"]

 

[Rik'Tani]

Rikki looked at him from her place on his shoulder. "Drinking's always nice. But I don't know. I don't exactly want to forget a night with you..."
[member="Cross Ikon"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Me neither. But I won't be gone in the morning.... I rather like that ship. And you're not so forgettable, eh?"

I nudged Rikki's head up and kissed her again. The song had changed, but we were keeping the same pace. I certaintly wasn't about to say anything.

[Rik'Tani]

She gave him a seductive grin. "Well then, why don't we go make some memories?" She purred. Rikki took both of his hands and began leading him toward the door of the club.

"Of course, Lady Spikes."

I hit a button on my cuff that called the slave-rigged shuttle I had flown down here. An ugly old thing... Which was pretty much the reason I used the Duchess as my personal ship.

"Well, we can stay on this old junker, or you can come meet some of my crew. Preferences?"
