That Is Mine (Selene Ishtar)

The time of the eclipse was about them as Romeo walked around the keep's halls, all that was on him was his dark jedi robes, and his ego. He inhaled, then exhaled, breathing in the air of him home.
-This is a place of peace, but it is threatened...I must be vigilant at these moments..-
But he could not help but be in a relaxed state at the moment.
Red eyes pierced through the darkness, as fires lit up as he walked past them, he wasnt doing anything in particular, just walking around, thinking. There was nothing that required his immediate attention at the moment, so he figured to wonder around, in hopes that his mind would be put at a better ease. Maybe find a inspiration for some project for the future, but nothing came. His mind was bent on the thoughts of Ession, and the Queen.

He shouldn't have sent Felicia to that meeting, now he was potential enemy of the Reformation in their eyes, and the Mandos hated them more then they aleady did. In Vahla, he cursed, and then spoke in it, "Graxin is a tyrant, in the end...it will be needed for the Sith to kill him...it's inevitable...not all of them in the One Sith are pure evil...I know this at least." He blinked a few times. The halls echoed his voice, carrying it out past these walls, into rooms. He cared not. No one would understand what he just said.

Romeo's facial expression changed as he thought about the Queen, and what Graxin would try to do. He would fail, or the Queen would die, and right now, he hoped she wouldnt, for once, he rooted for the enemy.
Again in Vahla he spoke, "Graxin will not head that which is give to him. Primevil will strike hard, and fast, all will fall. I am positive that's what will be the fall of the One Sith.." He stopped speaking, and leaned against a wall. He tired of being alone...he wanted company.

Selene flipped her hair off her shoulders. The baggy maintenance clothing were not exactly her fashion style. Her eyes had perfectly adjusted to the darkness of the Shadow King's humble abode. Despite her being forced into more than one situation than this, her heart pulse raced as she turned every corner with ease. It was not usual to question a maintenance worker. Not all of them are trained thieves and spies. She had only been working in this keep for a few days, making sure basic computers were working sufficiently and made sure the floors, windows, and whatever else called for cleaning was cleaned.

She had only stared to fully blend in, keeping to herself and away from the wandering eyes of guards or even the King himself. Selene was just another janitor. Though that wasn't exactly what she was there for. She had been instructed to gain access to Romeo Sin's room and grab whatever personal material he had she could get her hands on. The amber beaming eyes she claimed focused on what she had learned was his room.

Never once was she able to actually get into the room without being caught or she would have already gotten what she wanted and fled. Selene had always caught word of what was going on outside of the walls, with the King and Primevil yet she never invested her time in the conversations. Mainly because she could careless, all she wanted was her Spice and the credits that followed after every information she gained. Her hand found the handle and looked both ways to make sure there was no one around to catch her.

Only recently had she seen Romeo Sin wandering his halls. In search of something possibly? She could not be positive. What surprised her is that the door to his chambers were not even locked.

A few minutes passed as Romeo stood there against the wall, just looking into the fire opposite of him. The flames flickered, and danced in the small breeze that was always drifting around the halls, like a ghost haunting it's home. He sighed, and pushed off the wall, and decided it would better to just rest his eyes. Sleep on the things happening, and to come. Each fire he passed by, he flicked a hand, and it would whoosh around in a small cyclone. The warm features of the fires made him feel at home, that's what made this place his abode of choosing, Lately staff had been switched out, and changed about, some people left, some people came. It was nothing to be focused on, and he did not. If it was one thing though, it was another. -King..is this my destiny?- he thought to himself. Of course it was, but..was there more?

He walked around the corners, playing with the fire as he made his way, and observed the flowing of the force with his mind. It would twitch around him, then pass through him, and embrace him, then swim past him, and brush his back. The force was everywhere, and always, it was his to use as he saw fit, and he saw it as a way of life. Not religiously, but as...something that was apart of him, like breathing. Silently, he moved, not caring about his surroundings.

She pushed into the door and slowly closed the door behind her. Around her hips was a small belt that contained common products used for cleaning but, there was a few that opened up to reveal several compartments designed to hold different objects. As for now it was empty but she hopped to change that as soon as possible. Selene looked around the room, taking in ever detail she could. First she gazed around his massive closet and then moved to examine his furniture.

She quietly opened the drawers to his work desk and ran her eyes over the scattered objects on it. This man had everything Selene's family could have dreamed and hopped for as a child. On top of his desk was a datapad, she could not think of one reason why not to take it. Quickly taking the technology she shoved it in the pockets of her scrubs, there wasn't many other places for her to hide it. It was a good sized piece of equipment though it fit as if there was nothing in her pockets. The large fitting clothes seemed to disguise the appearance of anything being in them other than more clothing material and air.

The room was terribly dark though, it could have used a little light. There was a balcony, Selene immediately got distracted by the large balcony outside. She wasn't exactly one to be taken away by landscapes but she had to admit, it was impressing. Of course she was more used to city lights and sound then the ones these areas screamed. Her tail swished contently behind her only before hearing the sound of gaining footsteps and then the rotating the door handle. She thought about hanging from the balcony but then she took out the window cleaner and began to scrub the windows. Acting as though it was what she had been doing the whole time.

It wasnt long before Romeo was now walking down the hallway to his room, his steps still just as quiet, and inaudible to the ears of a normal person. To heightened senses, one may hear the small scruffs his boots made against the floors. His body turned into the door, his left hand turning the knob as his right hand was already removing his top robes. He did this so quietly no one would have heard this. No real noise was made at all, except for making the ruffling of his clothes. As his robe was removed from his upper half, he threw it on the bed, and turned around to face his room. His pecks scared up, and his abs, more detailing, his six pack, was also riddled with scars, and healed burned flesh areas did not hide the fact that the Shadow King was in peak shape, and that his health was considerately very good.

His eyes were already locked on the woman near his balcony, the smell of window cleaner filled his nose. With a lift of his right arm, the fires that dimly lit the room brightened up, and gave the room clear visibility. "Hello." He said in almost a whisper. The red eyes were locked on her body, taking in every curve, and sway of it. The tail was most amusing, and he smirked at this thought.

She turned upon hearing the rustling of clothing and then the greeting, taking in a deep breath she tried to think of what exactly a lower ranking citizen would say in the presence of a King. Selene looked over her shoulder, her cheeks almost immediately began to redden against her tan skin. Turning back her brows creased, she was not exactly expecting him to be half undressed. If Selene was not speaking to Romeo Sin and not taking part of a mole's role, she would have probably drooled and used her sly words. Turning around, the feline tried to act as though she was genuinely flustered.

Her hands moved fast and she even placed her hand on the side of her face indicating that the maintenance worker did not want to see his attractively detailed upper body. Her orange colored eyes took in the battle scars and claims of battle and pain, she could not compare that to her under weight stomach and the showing of one to many ribs. She even managed to soften her voice and work up a stutter.

"My-My King, please forgive me. I did not mean to intrude I was only doing my job.." Normally her tail would have swished but with a feline's body language the flickering of her tail indicated stress in this situation. Perhaps he would just shove her out and not think to check her pockets. Other wise she would be in some deep trouble. Surly he would take her life, who wouldn't.

Romeo observed the woman's feline features, and walked over to the foot of his bed. On it would be his night clothes, which he would slip on the top part, just a simple silk red, and white shirt. He would have removed his pants, but that would be going overboard. The Vahla didnt button up the shirt, but instead, left it open. He observed her cheeks, and her eyes, then shifted his gaze to her tail.
-Hmm..-
He thought to himself.
As the woman tried to find her voice, and apologize, he waved a hand forward. "No, you are fine. I enjoy clean things, and I enjoy watching someone to a good job. As you can see, this room has quite a bit of chaos going on.." He trailed off to look at his desk. The red eyes changed from scarlet to a more orange red, what this meant was that he was amused, and toying with her, but no one that didnt know him personally would know that. No one outside his circle of friends, and family knew his eyes changed colors with his emotions.

He walked to his walk in closet, and just before he stepped all the way in, he did a slow flick with his wrist towards the door the exited the room. A small click could be heard from it, what this meant was obvious, he locked it. He chuckled to himself and closed the door to the walk in closet halfway, and removed his pants. His legs were equally as toned as the rest of his body. There was nothing about this man that wasnt healthy, and in shape.

It had sounded to her that her cover was working perfectly. She had yet to take her hand from her face, simply she listened to speak and how there was honesty no need for forgiveness. No comment came from her mouth though she simply relaxed her body as though she was tensed. Selene placed a free hand on her chest as he walked into his closet. She could have just went straight for the door but there was one last thing she needed from his room. On the giant bookcase shelves was a precariously balanced spheres.

For what, that she could not answer but they seemed worth taking. Quickly unscrewing one of the empty chemicals she rolled the heavy objects into the container and began to screw it back on. Selene could not have just bounced from the windows to the bookshelf if she could not find any trace of dust or misplaced books. Instead Selene moved to his bed, she began to fold his robs though they remained in the same place as he had placed them down.

This wasn't exactly her main occupation so her skills were rather weak. Crossing her arms she started to speak, her voice was loud as she was trying not to disturb the Shadow King. "I-is there anything you need me to get you before I leave you, your majesty?" Selene's eyes were locked on the exits next to her. There was the option to scale down the balcony as planned in emergency if she was compromised or just simply walk out the door. Either was she was content in not getting caught.

Romeo sounded from outside the closet as she asked about anything more she could do. 'Indeed, could you please organize my desk some? I nee everything with the big black 'Coalition' stamp to the right, and those with the purple 'Ession' to the right. The datapad, keep where it is, it has no specific place." He then removed his shoes, and placed them in their rightful spot. Picking the pants up, he looked around the closet, that was it. Nothing more to put on.
He turned the light off, and came out, turning to close the door. When he turned back to look at the woman, and observe his room, his eyes noticed the robe, poorly folded. -Oh?-
He stepped over to the windows of the balcony's doors. Spotless. -Well then...- This wasnt entirely enough for suspicion on her. So he kept his gaze on the darkness of the planet, watched her in the window's reflection.
"When you're done with that, could you..come here?"

His eyes shifted from her reflection to the sea, and then back to her. She wore the normal clothes of a worker here, but they were a bit baggy. Romeo had no real rule on the dress code, but a simple uniform. Keep it tucked, and that was it. Still...he wasnt king for being stupid, quite the opposite. There wasnt enough evidence here to accuse her of anything, but some things were out of placed.

Selene looked up at the ceiling as she said there was something for her to do. On her part all she wanted to do was scatter out of the room. "Yes sir, of course, right away." While her voice conveyed one emotion her body language while he was changing was different. When he came out once more Selene had turned around, moving her hands over the documents and scattered papers. It was not clear but she could defiantly feel eyes on her one way or another.

There was no smile on her face as she did the task she was assigned to. She wanted to take this information and run out of the keep. Selene hesitated when he mentioned the datapad her heart skipped a beat. Surely he had not noticed that his datapad. He even said it himself, the room was chaos it would take a keen eye to remember exactly where his technology was when he left it. Selene felt as though the datapad in her pocket grew heavier the more she thought about it but once she was done Selene backed away from the desk.

Her hands folded gently over her lap as she moved behind the King. It took her everything to respect his shirtless figure. The body of her tail had came to a stop though the tip slowly twitched as an indication of alertness and interest. Selene could practically hear her heart beating in her chest. It almost made her question why she was even in this situation in the first place. Spice had played an important role in her life and at times she would give her life to have just a small jar of the drug.

Romeo smiled to himself, and listened to her movements around the room. -Oh yes, the emotions may not be shown...but the force...- He smiled, and turned his head to look her. He lifted his right hand, and slowly his hand, placed it against her cheek, and then up to her hair. His eyes were burning a bright red color as he looked into hers. He parted her hair behind her ear, and smiled as his eyes looked at the slightly new hair style. "I like it much better like this." He said in a whisper again. He leaned into her, placing his head next to hers so his breath would touch her neck. His eyes focused on his desk, of course he would know where he had left it. His daughter gave it to him.
The king inhaled softly of her scent. "Mmm, whats that I smell..so delicious...smells like...a thief." He said gently as his hand curled around her waist, he could feel she was skinnier then what a normal should be, so he pulled his hand away. His mind raced with what her purpose was here. He pulled his head back, and looked her back in the eyes. He smirked. "So..tell me what should I do with this thief?" He cocked his head in amusement.
"Should I..jail her? Maybe I should kill her?" He let the fiery darkness from his core rise, and release to the room, she would feel it greatly got colder, then suddenly got hotter, and brighter as he made the fires bigger. "No...no that would not do...the thief is in need of help..she's hungry..addicted maybe.." He looked down at her figure. "May I have it back please ma'am?" He smirk grew as his eyes seemed to glow.

Normally Selene would have shifted right there and defended herself but she kept her cool. Slowly her brows creased with every touch. His eyes were on her but hers were directed to some random object in the room. Her heart could have literally jumped in her throat if it was possible. Every urge in her told her to should shift to her protected form but it was as if she frozen. Her eyes narrowed when he spoke about what should be done with the feline. His arm wrapped around her, she could practically feel his exposed skin against her bones. While the addiction did not take away every pound on her body, it would soon and that came with it's side effects.

Immediately the effects of the temperature around her body changing so rapidly could have almost destroyed her. It was very hard in her Near-Human form to keep up with the changes when one was so thin and to the bone. Her body shivered for a moment as it tried to keep up with the cooling. It took her much courage to bring her eyes to his. They changed wildly which only frightened her more. Selene wrapped her arms around herself instead as though to protect herself but it wouldn't be much. This whole time she remained silent. Still trying to process everything and how or if she would make it out breathing. Than he asked for his datapad back Selene's facial features relaxed somewhat though her muscles possibly tensed even more it that was possible.

"You know.. I feel like should but.." Selene shrugged, "A girl has to feed herself, you can't tell me that you'll deprive me of a meal for something so small?" She knew that answer and either way no matter what she said was not going to make it out with that datapad. She would be out of a job if those spheres had no value. There was a long pause before she slowly placed her hand in pocket. The fabric scratching against her skin. If she gave him the pad maybe he would be merciful and spare her but what was the point if she had no job to feed her and her addiction, though it's not like she was able to eat without losing it the next second.

Romeo's demeanor completely changed from a very threatening force user, to a very normal, and happy man. His red eyes stopped glowing, and turned back to a more relaxed darker red. "Thank you." He said in a cheerful voice. Taking the datapad back, and holding it in a tight grip, his eyes locked onto her. "To answer your question, no, no I wouldnt let you go without a meal, and Im not going to." He took a moment to walk past her, and to his desk, placed the datapad in the exact same spot she had taken it, and looked back at her. Romeo leaned against his desk, his shirt fell a little from his left shoulder as he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Still...you have a body under that disguise I would love to know more personally." He winked at her, and chuckled. He had not even noticed the spheres missing. "So you have a few options here, all involve you being a free woman at the end." He let the lights dim back to that it was a more relaxing state, and coiled his dark presence back in.
"One, as I just said, allow me the pleasure to know you personally, and you may leave afterwards." He pushed off the desk, and walked to his bed, and folded his robe the way it was meant to be.
"Two, you tell me who wants my stuff, I'll pay you what they owe you, you may leave afterwards." He took his robe to his walk in closet, and placed on a chest inside full of more clothes.
"Three, you work for me, you do the jobs I give you, I'll pay you, and you're free to do what you wish in your free time. You do not leave this place permanently, instead will live here." He looked at the woman, and smirked the devilish grin he had. "Or, you can combine the options to your liking." He walked back up to her. "So what will it be m'lady?"

Selene had to think about what just she did. It wasn't that everything confused it, it just happened all so fast. Her chin was tilted slightly as she watched him, her muscles were still trying to relax themselves but Selene would not allow it. Maybe this King was like a beast and toyed with his prey before attacking it. The thick guard around her refused to be torn down. The long tail behind her flicked high and steadily in a pattern as she tried to calm herself.

Every Felacation knew it isn't the best situation when one did not have an outlet of stress build up. It basically unleashes a 408 pound predator. Listened to him speak and she reached for the chemical bottle around her hips and unscrewed the cap. When he mentioned getting familiar with her body the feline couldn't help but snicker. It was true, she did love the way some people went about their words. She continued to uncap the bottle. Pausing for a minute she listened as he listed off all the options available to her disposal.

All of them sounded like they would work out for her in the end but only one meant she would have a stable job and a home. It was defiantly an upgrade from the shake of an apartment she lived in now. Selene slyly filled the space between them. Gently she brought her hand up and ran it along his exposed shoulder, the corner of her lips pulled in one corner as a playful smirk grew on her face. Taking her hand back she tipped the bottle over in the palm of her hand and moved back over to the bookshelf where they were originally placed.

Selene sighed and balanced them, "Option three doesn't sound that terrible." Looking over her shoulders she exposed her pearly white teeth with a grin. "Though.. all of them sound really good." She placed a finger on her cheek and tapped it to indicate she might be still thinking about her decision or even changing her mind.

The Shadow King's skin prickled up as are touched it, his eyes looked at her hand on his skin, then back at her eyes. Romeo would then watch her smile, her teeth were indeed quite white. He wrapped his arm around her waist, and pulled her body close to his.
"I could give you so much, in exchange for your skills, and company." He breathed to her.
"Though I promise you, what's on that datapad would have made your life a living hell, allow me to help you make up your mind." He leaned his face closer to hers, stopping just before their noses touched. "Become my agent, become my eyes, my ears. Take what you can, and no matter what you're doing, I will pay you, handsomely. A paycheck if you will..." he slid his other hand up her leg, and curved hip. "No one has to be the wiser...cause I promise you right now...if you are thinking there's a better life out there for you..." he leaned his face to her neck, and ear. "There isnt one better than the one I can give you." His lips moved against her neck as he spoke.

Selene bit her lip gently as they stood close together. It never occurred to her that she would be in this position when all she came for was a datapad and then run out. It crossed her mind to still do that but even she knew that was lower than she'd stoop in this case. She listened to the Shadow King's words and remained quiet. Butterflies began to swarm in her thin stomach, she couldn't help but to softly laugh under her breath. His touches were leaving her breathless, Selene didn't enjoy when men had a certain control over her but this was acceptable for now.

Staying in one place never treated her well. Maybe she'd stay with him as long as he had the credits flowing in. That never bothered her before and wasn't going to now. Selene thought all of this over in her mind as she spoke softly. Her skin crawled with the feeling of his lips against her skin. "Sounds like a plan to me..I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be." Selene would drag this trick out as long as she could. There was a possibility that should feel bad in the end and then again, she was still a gold digger, the payments fed her. Her eyebrows creased for a moment as it also concerned her to find out what The Shadow King would do if he ever found out her new plans.

Glancing at his lips she than took her free hand and gently moved chin, Selene's soft lips hardly touched the corner of his lips before she simply spoke out. "Is it just me or are we doing to much talking.."

Romeo, in his mind, was thinking he had stricken gold with this new agent of his new, and smiled in is head to himself. His lips caressed hers as they gently touched, and he whispered back, "I agree." His arms gently gripped her sides, and through her on the bed as he crawled his way up to her, and placed his body on hers, and touched her lips with his, and planted them in a firm kiss of lust.
It would be an hour later before anything else would be on his mind, or possibly hers.

Romeo would allow her to stay in his bed, he didnt mind her in it at all actually. He placed a hand on her abdomen, and looked at her. His other hand reached for something on his side of the bed, then it came back with a form of tech in his hand.
"Our connection, I can reach you on this, you can reach me on this. I can transfer money from accounts to yours through this. Everything you need, right here." He smiled at her, and kissed her gently on the neck. "I am glad to get to know you more personally. It was worth it, thank you for this splendid time dear...?" He didnt even know her name!!

Selene's body was wrapped around in the cool sheets. Her black hair spilled over the pillow she rested her head on. It was clear to her that she had been with some rather interesting people in her life time, the Romeo Sin would be at least a three on her list. It had to be rather late now, it was time for her to get her fill of Spice. She could feel the hunger rumbling in her chest. Turning her head she watched has he reached for something. The feline stretched, her arms moved above her head.

As he handed her the technology, it was clear a Slicer had developed it because it was rather foreign to her. Selene sat up for a second, breaking off his kisses. She pulled up the covers just above her chest even though she was not exposed fully, wearing her dark undergarments. Examining the object she then, rather quickly moved over him. She raised a brow and spoke softly. "Just tell me when I can start." There was a small smirk on her lips as she gently placed a line of kisses along his jawline.

Selene tucked the falling hair behind her ear, her tail swayed with content. She had gone behind several names, it made it easier for her to disappear whenever it was called for. Giving him one last kiss and gave him a new name. "Adriana." Before she knew it Selene was sitting on the side of the bed, sliding on her tank top. Wearing under clothing with the maintenance disguise was quite helpful.
