“I’m pretty sure the resonance blinds her to other possibilities. It’s kind of hard to appreciate other people when one’s in your head all the time,” Rhenakos said. “But…eh, it works for them so it’s whatever. I know Raile had had both Kali and Lei at the same time. That was a fun story to hear…he got totally plastered…”

Rheankos thought for a moment, “Well there was that one time you made out with that chick on a dare in the bar. I can’t remember much from that night, but maybe we did? I remember the morning though….shite hangover…” He smirked.

The play had moved on to the second chapter, and the Hunter and Princess were on the run, fleeing the castle in the catacombs. “Ahh…good times. Remember when I tried treasure hunting with you after Vela? We fell into that one crypt and just said fuck it and got down and dirty there…”

That earned him a stare from their neighbor, to which Rhenakos did a shooing motion.

“Does he even remember it?” Osiria chuckled. “Sucks to be him if he doesn’t.”

Osiria rolled her eyes back and forth, “Hard to say when it's another woman. I was blackout drunk but she wasn’t there in the morning… Though you shoved me out of bed and were like a starfish.” She couldn’t contain her laughter that great with the thought. “You and Reva both sleep the same way. It’s adorable.”

She put her finger on her chin, “Oh yeah… We decided not to do that again by ourselves. Ended up having to have Vela and Raile come get us. We were naked under a blanket. I think Raile was disappointed in us,” she gave him a smirk as she watched the eyes around her.

“Remember that time when we were traveling in the Virens,” she turned and propped her head up with her palm giving him a bored expression. “We had been chasing after something I can’t remember it too great but… You ended up taking that hit for me. That was the last time you let me go hunting with you. When did I start distracting you like that?”

Rhenakos thought for a moment, “I really don’t know when it started.” He was smiling fondly at that point. “One moment, I was focused on the fight, and the next it was just you. Only you. Didn’t even have time to think, I just moved…” He smirked. “I may have taken a hard hit, but you made up for it later that night… you and your ‘soft touch’ healing…” That was practically how they met.

“You know..this play…” Rhenakos vaguely turned his attention to the actors on stage. “Kind of sucks…” There was a half devious grin on his face as his hand slithered between Osiria’s legs. “I can think of a few more interesting things…”

Osiria smirked a bit at him, “I am quite good at soft touch healing. Though the first time we met I hated you.” She tilted her head with a smile. The way things had changed for them were for the better.

“How do you know if it sucks if you’ve never seen one,” she got close to him to tease his lips with her closeness. “Weren’t you the one who said we should be careful? You start acting up and you are bound to get us thrown out.” She giggled a bit.

“You do… However, get the most creative ideas when you are bored.” She put her hand on his thigh and gave him a nice squeeze. “We’re going to get kicked out aren’t we?”

The two of them took it a few steps further, seeming to test the waters on just how much they could actually get away with. Much to their surprise, it was quite a bit before they were ‘politely’ asked to leave. AS the two hit the cool streets of Egjora, Rhenakos was laughing. He pulled Osiria into the nearest alleyway, and hiked up her dress, taking full advantage of their current mood.

It wasn’t long before the two of them were walking out of the alleyway, flustered and disheveled.

“Well…let’s not do that again. Maybe your idea of a date on the water is a bit better…we can try that next time,” he said with a grin. “In the meantime…I hear this place had amazing bars. Wanna go hit one for the rest of the night? See where we end up by morning?”

Maybe this was what Simone had meant by them being idiots. They were risk-takers through and through. The alley had some of the best sex they had in a while. She laced her hands with his, “Told you. A play is way too long to keep your attention going. I’d rather it be on me anyway.”

She thought about it, “Alright, let's hit up the bars. I bet I can get free drinks~” She fixed herself up and gave a wink to Rhenakos, “But then you won’t get any of my attention all night.” Did he need her attention? It was still a question in the back of her mind. She knew he loved her so it was just a silly thought in the end.

“Let’s go!” She pulled him towards one of the bars he had been talking about. “I heard this one is one of the good ones.”

As Osiria mentioned the free drinks, Rhenakos smirked, “Free drinks are nice, but that’s only for you. And then they get pushy…” He crossed his arms, “Besides…tonight was supposed to be about us and ‘romantic’ or whatever.” He grabbed her ass and pulled her in for a passionate, rather rough kiss. “Which means tonight is the night that I get all of your attention.” Rhenakos liked sex. But that was all it was to him. A physical act. Sex with Kalina was nice. Back before he was with Osiria, sex with anyone was nice. But Osiria…she was different. Sex was intimate. Close. Personal. Hell, being in the same room with her was intimate.

That was something about her that no one else had, and he wondered if she knew it. He released her, but kept a hold of her hand as he pulled her along into the bar. There were stares, of course, and a few whistles as two ‘well dressed’ individuals made their way to the counter.

“Gimme two pints of whatever’s the cheapest shit you have,” Rhenakos said as he slammed some coins down, ignoring the stares. “And open a tab…the name’s Raize…”

“The pushy ones are the fighty ones,” Osiria waved her hands. He was right though and she gave a smile and a nod. “I like that. Just us.” She squeaked as he grabbed her and pulled her close. Her lips hit his hard and Osiria gave him a timid look. Maybe it was just an act but he would never be able to tell. “Then all my attention is yours until you are sick of it,” there was a snort from her because she knew he would never have enough.

“I should have fucking brought a spare outfit…” She motioned at herself as she hopped up onto a stool. She was short enough that the stools tended to be an issue since most races were taller than she was. “Cheapppppp~” Osiria grabbed the pint from the bartender as soon as he brought it back.

It didn’t take long for the woman to drink it all down and slam it, “Tastes like memories.” She was joking as she leaned against the bar. “God damn it, Rhen. We could have used this as an excuse to pick each other up from the fucking bar. I always have the sexiest and best ideas far too late. Fuck!”

Her mouth was catching the attention of a few. “That’s not how a lady should talk.”

“Good thing I’m not a fucking lady then~” Osiria said casually as the bartender got her another pint.

Rhenakos downed his own pint and as the next one slammed down, he and Osiria toasted to her not being a ‘lady’, and each downed the next in a single gulp. There were murmurs among the bar. The two were the classiest looking ones there, yet they were acting like the lowest of the low.

A group of men started up at the bar, ordering their own drinks and looked Osiria up and down. “If you’re looking for a better time than this tosser, we could take a stab at ya,” one of them said with a dirty look. “If you aren't a lady, then you’re probably great in bed…”

The hunter was already working on his third pint. “What makes you people…so fucking confident…” he slammed down the mug. “To walk up to a man’s woman and start this shit talk in front of him…” He stood up. Rhenakos was a six foot tall demon hunter, with the muscles to show for it, and a crimson red eye that glowed. Upon taking another look at him, the other men, perhaps in a drunken stupor, took it upon themselves to challenge him.

“You know what the best part about all of this is?” Rhen said with a shit eating grin. “Is that I’m not even the one you have to worry the most about.”

Osiria drank down her pint and spun herself around on the stool to watch the two of them. “My money is on my husband.” She leaned against the bar with a smirk. “I’ve actually heard I’m quite fantastic in bed. Rhen, you should show him what I did to your back in the alley just a few minutes ago. I mean… Look at this…” She hiked up her dress just enough to show a bite mark on her thigh. “Gets a little rough with me but not rough enough on some nights.” She smirked.

She let her orange eyes drill into him, “Oh but my love…” She said in a fake surprised voice. “You mean I can be terrifying?” She got up and put her arms around Rhenakos’s waist. “Look at them all eyeing me like I’m some sort of candy. Bet they want to eat me~ You going to let them?” She was riling him up good.

“I may be dangerous but a girl loves to watch her man work.”
