Rose and Crown: I Too Am Not A Bit Tamed

[Kaliyah Shah]

Callie looks innocent and nonchalant, leaning her head against her free hand.

"Rude." Callie says, "Are you okay, Victoria? You look a little flustered."

[Victoria Valentine]

Victoria glared at Callie, looking somewhat unsteady... her teeth gritted in... frustration? Anger? "So... any piercings I don't know about?" she growled, right before she decided to check instead of waiting for an answer.

[Kaliyah Shah]

Apparently, Callie did have more piercings than the four she had in each ear. Callie briefly winced, but regained her composure quickly, looking very pleased.

"You're such a god damn sadistic little bitch," Callie says, intensifying her own efforts in retaliation.

[Victoria Valentine]

"Maybe I just remember what you like," Victoria answered, rolling her fingers to get her fingernails into the effort just a little.

[Kaliyah Shah]

Callie leans forward a bit, growling into Victoria's ear, "If you really remembered what I liked, you'd be using your teeth right now."

[Victoria Valentine]

"I have to save something for when I'm drunk enough to not care what we're doing," Victoria countered, giving an extra squeeze for a moment.

[Kaliyah Shah]

Callie gasps, biting down on her lower lip at that.

"You care what you do?" Callie says, sounding shocked. She times her insult so it comes just as she does something she knows makes Victoria's knees melt.

[Victoria Valentine]

"I'm sure I will sometime. The sooner we get back to my place, the sooner you can make me regret something... doesn't that sound just lovely?" Victoria managed, leaning against the table with her free arm to support herself.

[Kaliyah Shah]

"Ask nicely," Callie whispers into Victoria's ear, lips brushing against her skin as she keeps up the pressure. So to speak.

[Victoria Valentine]

Victoria's eyes flashed red at those two words.

And, impossibly, a third hand grabbed a fistful of Callie's hair from behind, pulling her back and relatively off balance. "And I doubt you'd forgotten that I don't do asking nicely," Victoria said, 'sweetly.' "I do do telling, though, should I tell you how this is going down?"

[Kaliyah Shah]

Callie smiles after recovering from the surprise of being pulled away from Victoria by an unknown force, "That's a new trick."

"Pray tell, how is this going to go down, Valentine?"

[Victoria Valentine]

Victoria leaned forward and kissed Callie, hard, biting her lower lip as she pulled back. "Mmm, just like it did in the old days. First back to my room, then probably to see the nurse for some disinfectant and bandages. Without any police pounding on my door for nonsense about domestic violence calls this time." Callie could feel a hand sliding down her neck... a glowing red hand that kept sliding down. "And this time, you'll know that you're outnumbered. It should make things... interesting."

[Kaliyah Shah]

Callie arched her back, breathing hard in response and looking excited.

"Outnumbered? More like evening the odds," Callie says, "Lead the way."
