Lair of Darkness

[Devyn Solway]

Raegan made contact again, this time with cellphones instead of writing a letter like she had done when she first made contact. A letter made sense because she didn't have Devyn's number and it had been two years since they last dealt with one another. Devyn still had that note, folded up and tucked away in a drawer and she didn't know why. Perhaps she just wanted proof that everything was real and that she was not just having a dream about it. That Raegan had actually said that she still loved her even after all that time. Devyn did her best to not think about it too much, because since then she just didn't really get love anymore.

She thought she had a good handle on it, knowing that when she said it she wanted to only be with that one person and that she meant it from the bottom of her heart. Now...she just wanted to hear it again and part of her didn't even care if Rae was telling the truth or not. It was mostly that desire to hear that word again that Devyn didn't really hesitate to go to Rae's house. Raegan invited her there after all and it would have been rude to not show up. She had to basically sneak her way off the school ground because she was supposed to be watched when she went into town. She had yet to even once report in to be watched when she was going off campus and she didn't ever plan to.

"This is the place." Devyn said to herself as she looked at the address on her phone and looked at the apartment. She could practically smell Raegan's scent outside the door already and that tugging feeling she always got around Rae. She blamed it on Rae's power, having control over darkness and Devyn's power being controlling shadows which were also the darkness. her mind flashed back to when Rae used her power on Devyn when she had been in her other form...it certainly was an experience that was painful and surreal all at the same time. She tucked that thought away for now as she knocked on the door. "Raegan, I'm here." Devyn said as she messed with her tie a little.

((Outfit))

[Raegan St. Croix]

Seeing how this would be one of her few off nights, inviting Devyn over wasn't the worst of ideas she had thought of tonight. She figured why not, seeing how she tried so hard to gain Devyn's trust again and was still currently in progress. She figured if she didn't open up at least four percent of her feelings towards Devyn then her ex would never really trust to be around her. She wouldn't see why she wouldn't, apart from Devyn's sense of trust being very limited, Raegan hadn't gone out of her way to hurt Devyn in the past. "Things just happen", as she always put it.

For right now, she figured she would give Devyn something of a show, a mini show if that. She wasn't at work tonight, and she had a good amount of drinks they could indulge in, considering that she wasn't expecting Devyn to leave anytime tonight. And seeing how she got one of her good friends that managed the club she worked out, he was able to install a pole in the middle of her bedroom. The funny part was that she mostly used it to try new tricks and just work out, hardly for any girl or guy she brought home that night. Some people didn't understand but pole dancing was an intense work out.

She made her way to the door, only to open it and see Devyn at her door. Her lips tainted with a deep dark plum color etched into a smile as her eyes fell on her ex. "Glad you could make it. For some reason I had a feeling you wouldn't show up. C'mon." She opened the door more as she walked towards the kitchen in her heels. "You want me to make you a drink?"

Her Look

[Devyn Solway]

Was this a bad idea? That question kept repeating itself in Devyn's head while she stood outside and waiting for Rae to get the door. She was already taking a risk being out here at night, even if she still had a little while before she had to be back for curfew. Would she even leave before then or would she end up spending a few hours here? Devyn didn't even know why Rae had called her out here, other than probably wanting Devyn to see her apartment. When they were going out and in high school together, Rae had talked about that apartment that she had always wanted. At least Rae was getting somewhere with her life and achieving some of her goals. Devyn could be happy for her in that case, but could she trust her?

Part of her really did want to, but she was just being extra caution in light of recent events. She was still hurting, still wanting Zoe, and still fighting with that inner struggle of life of death on some level. She could at least admit it was not as bad as it was before, but it was still there, nagging at the back of her mind. The sound of the door opening pulled Devyn out of her thoughts and focusing on the here and now. She could not help but stare for a moment as her green eyes already worked their way down Raegan's form. What is she planning? Devyn immediately thought to herself as she forced her eyes back to Rae's face where words were spoken. "I did debate it but I felt like it would be rude to not show up after you invited me." Devyn said as she walked in behind Rae.

Closing the door behind her she was already looking around the apartment and also watching Raegan walk away. Leave it to Rae to wear something like that, the other girl might as well been Devyn's favorite food just walking around to tease her hungry stomach. Taking a deep breath and sliding her hands into her pockets she followed after Rae. It always helped her feel a little more in control when she put her hands in her pockets. "Sure, only one. I already had a pretty bad hangover a little while ago." Devyn said, looking around the place still. Plus Devyn was a lightweight and Rae knew that. So hopefully Rae didn't give her one really strong drink, but it would not be unlike Rae to do such a thing.

"You have a nice place here." Devyn said, giving it a compliment as she started to wonder off to get a better look in the room, and bathroom. Devyn went still when she saw the pole, but honestly was not surprised. Yup, this is certainly Rae's place. Devyn thought to herself as she could not help but to smile a little.

((Woo! 1,100 threads!))

[Raegan St. Croix]

The sudden attention that she was getting from Devyn's eyes were more than welcomed. There was a specific reason as to why she chose to wear what she wore. For the attention, of course but there was a little bit more hidden underneath those sleeves of hers (well, skirt) and while she wanted to clue Devyn in on it, she figured she would keep it to herself just for now. She smiled but more to herself. "I'm glad you picked the lesser of two evils." She chuckled, walking further into the kitchen as her heels clicked and clacked against the hard floor. Even though that had meant to be a joke, Rae was pretty sure Devyn had probably thought about declining her offer to come over. Even happier that she didn't but you couldn't really blame the girl.

"Oh. Did you go out drinking the other night?" She started gathering two shot glasses and two regular glasses, pouring up tequila in the shot glasses, while she got Jack and Coke in the regular glasses. Her mind kind of rotated the numerous bar drinks there were. Even as a dancer, the more you hung out with the bartenders, the more you learned and had Rae studied mixology, she was sure she'd ace it. "I remember when I used to nurse your hangovers, I remember I did a great damn job at it too." She said carrying all of the drinks in her hands. As she found her way to Devyn who was checking out her room.

Tilting her head to look inside her room, she smirked. "Thanks. Has more of my own touch, or at least I'd like to think so. Here." She handed Devyn both the shot glass and regular glass, "You have to take at least one shot with me before you take your drink. Don't tell me you're still a lightweight." She smiled slyly. Was she trying to get Devyn toasted? Not so much but just enough to feel good. Rae could handle her drinks like a man, Devyn on the other hand, she had always been more of a lightweight.

[Devyn Solway]

It was practically impossible for Devyn to not look at what was before her. It was a nice view, one that she had seen a lot year ago, and one that she always enjoyed looking at. Even know she was looking at the frame of the other female in the room. Devyn's head did tilt a little to the side as she watched the other girl go. Biting her lip a little before she made sure that he gaze went to look around the room instead of all over Rae. "I did want to see your place." Devyn added after Rae's words. She went back to her looking around the place, it was simple yet it fit with who Rae was. There were a few things that Devyn figured Rae would add later, but for now it was enough in Devyn's opinion. "Who are you going to go see later tonight?" Devyn could not help to ask, since Rae was all dressed up.

When a girl was dressed up like Rae, Devyn could only assume that Rae had plans and she didn't want to get in the way of them. She knew of Rae's job, she had actually started to ask around to find out what Rae's current job was. She didn't approve of it, but figured it made a good amount of money and it was not like Rae was sleeping with the people she danced for. "No, I got rid of all my alcoholic beverages a few nights ago by consuming it all." Devyn said and gave a half chuckle after her words. It had not been the best of ideas but it got rid of the drinks and she had sort of felt better after it all. Devyn scratched at her head a little when Rae brought up how Rae used to take care of her when Devyn was hangover. Yeah, Devyn remembered that and part of her missed it a little bit. It really showed that caring side to Rae and Devyn could not deny she liked to be looked after.

"You did...no one has taken care of me when I'm hangover. I tend to just get kicked out of rooms." Devyn said with a forced chuckle. She started to rub at her father's ring a little and once more focused on looking around the place. Devyn reached out to take both the drinks, giving Rae a look since she said that she didn't want to get drunk. "Fine, but just one...is this tequila?" Devyn asked, knowing that it was going to have a big effect on her. She still let out a sigh and held up the shot glass to Rae. "To…you being back." Devyn said and then tossed back the shot glass, coughing a little bit. Yeah, she was still a lightweight.

[Raegan St. Croix]

It was nice to know that Devyn had taken an interest in her new place if that was really her real reason for accepting her invitation. She chuckled, "Now's your chance." Rae was pretty sure she would give Devyn more than an eye full in a bit, but as for right now she didn't mind if her ex walked around and checked out the place. It was kind of a new thing for the both of them, seeing how they both knew how much Rae wanted to have her own place, instead of squatting around in other places. It was kind of funny that Dev would ask that question, Rae even humored it. "You." She said as her lips curled into a smile.

Raising her brows, she blinked, wondering why someone would want to get rid of their drinks. That just meant that there was alcohol for later, and if there wasn't alcohol for later then life just really did suck. "Don't tell me you've gotten soft and turning a new leaf or something. Or like a nun, that would be such a dry fucking life." It wasn't that she disliked nuns, actually she hated nuns... and "dislike" was a term that wasn't close to describing it. They always rubbed her the wrong way, including their super boring and super dry lifestyle.

"I was gonna say... Now that I'm here I could always take care of you again," She said with a sly smile on her face. "But now that you seem to anti-drinking now, I guess I wouldn't have to." Now that was only IF Devyn had sworn away drinking for good or something. Rae doubted that was the case but you'd never know when dealing with Devyn. When she asked if it was tequila, Rae grinned and nodded. Ugh God she loved the smell. "Cheers to that." Rae also held her shot glass up to Devyn before tossing back her own and grimacing a bit while taking it like a champ. She laughed, "Oh c'mon ya butch, by now you should be able to handle your drinks."

Rae then gestured towards the pole in her room, "You wanna get a preview of what I do at work?"

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn nodded and looked around after Rae's words. This was her chance to get a good look at Raegan's place. She was mentally mapping out Rae's place, where all the future was, the scents in the air around particular areas, and in general getting information in such an animalistic manner. At least she didn't get down to the carpet or really close to sniff the furniture. Was it wrong that she was curious what Rae had been up to in this place and trying to figure out how long Rae had this place now? It was still weird when thinking about the fact that Rae now had her own place, a place that the two of them had talked about a lot. Except, back then Devyn was included in the picture and that she was going to end up living with Rae, but events happened and here they were now.

Devyn tilted her head in a confused manner when Rae said that she had gotten dressed up for her. "No, really. Who you going out to see? You don't have to give me a name or anything, I'm just curious." Devyn said and then gave a small shrug. She figured that if Rae didn't really want to tell her then that was fine. It was not actually any of Devyn's business what her first Ex was getting into after all. Devyn rolled her eyes and shook her head no at Rae's question in regardless to Devyn not wanting to get drunk. She had not stopped drinking; she was just cutting back on how much she drank. Being a lightweight meant she got drunk easily and when that happened she 'made mistakes' and she didn't want to keep making mistakes.

"No, I still drink. Just hangovers are a pain to deal with when it comes to my power, as you well know. So I'm just trying to cut back so I don't have to deal with it as much." Devyn said and then her gaze went to the ground at Rae's next words. Did Rae really mean that, or was she just playing mind games? Well, Rae never really lied but phrasings things a certain way did not mean that you were being dishonest. "I wouldn’t want you to have to deal with me if you didn't have to." Devyn said in a solemn tone. Then focused on the toast, tossing the drink back, and dealing with the initial effects of tossing a drink back. She let out a growl at being called a butch, having always disliked that word, but the growling was more so to the implication there. It felt like a challenge to Devyn.

"If I gave it my all I bet I could drink you under the table." Devyn said bolding, and winced on the inside because she knew all so well that she was still a lightweight and she would lose such a bet. There was another question there, one that had Devyn's green eyes looking towards the pole. Was Rae serious? Of course she was serious, but did she really think Devyn could take watching someone dance around a pole and not have some issues with it? "Uh...I never really got into watching that kind of thing. Sucks when you can look but not touch...” Devyn said and then started to drink the jack and coke mix.

[Raegan St. Croix]

"I'm serious." She couldn't help but to chuckle at Devyn's confusion. Had Rae let herself get dressed up to see someone else, then she would have said so. There wasn't much of anything that she needed to hide from Devyn. They were both single, Rae was always willing to do her own thing by any means necessary and not one man or woman could stop that. So why have to lie about it? "I got all dolled up for you. Is there a problem?" She asked with a smile, only curious but really knowing the true answer to that. There was nothing about her that could be denied, despite her sadistic personality, really.

"Good to know you didn't get all nun on me and whatnot." She could understand the hangover bit. It wasn't the same for Rae but she did get hangovers just like anyone else and they were always a real bitch. Though, secluding herself in total darkness for twenty-four hours after a hangover really did the trick. "Awww now you know I'd never let a hungover Devyn go untreated. Wouldn't be civilized of me." She flashed her a short smile. She heard the growl and it made her smile and only because she knew Devyn hated it. The girl was far from a butch and that's what always made it so funny.

Rae rolled her eyes jokingly as she took a sip from her other drink. "Yeah? You're talking to a champ here. There's no drinking me under or over a table." She bit her bottom lip smiling. Slowly walking over to the pole, she stood in between it and the end of her bed. "Today's your lucky day tiger, you can touch and I wont charge extra." She gestured towards the edge of her bed, "Now sit."

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn still gave a slightly doubtful look when Rae said that she was serious about having gotten all dressed up for her. The only reason Rae would get dressed up for Devyn was if they were about to go do something nice. Nice being anything from going out somewhere to something a little more on the hot and heavy side. The latter pretty much could and had happened even when Rae was not dressed up in a verity of locations. Things like that just sort of happened between the two of them but after they broke up and Rae just left, well she figured such things would not happen again. Even know she did not think such things would happen again, but Rae was pretty much making it clear that she was not joking. "No, just...what color is your underwear?" Devyn went ahead and asked so she could just get a clear idea of what Rae was wanting from her.

"I would not last long as one, plus their outfits are so a no go." Devyn said as she shook her head just thinking about it. She never even saw the nun look attractive, even if it covered up a lot and left a lot to the imagination. That whole vow thing was tempting to see if she could get a nun to break it, but hearing stories of getting swatted with a ruler at some Catholic schools was enough to keep her from risking too much. Devyn looked away from Rae as she spoke about how she would take care of a hung over Devyn. "You do always know what to do to make it go away faster..." Devyn mumbled out as she took another drink. There was that whole growling then because of Rae calling her a butch but she didn't say anything about it.

"Anything is possible, Rae." Devyn said, using words that Rae used on her last time they were talking out in the woods. Devyn still could not forget that night and how she felt about it all even now. Why is she so good at getting to me? Devyn thought to herself as her thoughts immediately broke as Rae headed over to the pole. Devyn's green eyes practically locked on every movement and step to the pole. She could touch all she wanted and Rae would not charge extra? Wait, what was she charging then? Devyn's mouth opened to ask but there was a command there and as if some obedient dog Devyn sat down on Rae's bed without a word for a moment or two. "Rae...this is going to be too tempting." Devyn stammered out as she took a large gulp of her drink.

[Raegan St. Croix]

Raising a brow, she smirked only wondering why Devyn was so interested in wanting to know what colors were being worn underneath her clothing. For the most part, Rae enjoyed bras and panties that were either in red, black, or nude colors... but mostly black. Maybe Devyn had been so tempted in wanting to see for herself? That was never any fun. Especially when Rae loved to tease her way into certain situations. "I guess that's for me to know and you to find out." She teased as she took another sip of her drink.

"I don't know, I think after a little snip snip here and there. They're outfits could be quite sexy, suggestive even." Too bad she decided against dressing up for Halloween. As overly used and cliche'd as it was, a sexy nun would have been fun to dress up as. She would certainly spice it up a bit. "After drinking as much as I do, you sort of know the tricks of the trade. It's like my specialty now." And she enjoyed curing a hangover, one way or another.

"Yeah?" She laughed before downing the rest of her drink. It was cute how Devyn used her own words against her which only mean that she had payed very close attention during their time in the woods. Good.

Smiling softly, she turned the slow provocative music on before she allowed her body to sway with the beat as she stepped around the pole in a circle. "Good." She stopped right in front of Devyn; her body only inches away from her ex as she started to slip her skirt off, revealing her black panties before tossing her skirt to the side. "I should start teaching you patience." As a sly grin came across her face.

[Devyn Solway]

Why was Devyn interested in what Raegan was wearing? The answer was simple; she wanted to know right then and there and didn’t want to wait. While her mind was telling her that this was probably a bad idea, that she was supposed to ‘be good’, she just didn’t know why she should anymore. She was not in a relationship. Zoe was moving on. What was she being good for? She honestly didn’t know the answer to the question so was having a hard time holding herself back. In fact, she didn’t want to hold back at all. There was also the huge fact that Rae did say she loved Devyn and Devyn really wanted to be loved. She might have never said it out loud, but it should have been pretty obvious that deep down she wanted to be loved.

It was just returning that love that had always been difficult for her because she just didn’t know how to properly. With Rae, she had already loved the other female so didn’t think things would be as complicated this time. She might have just been telling herself all of that just because she wanted Rae badly. “So in other words, I just have to wait?” Devyn asked as her green eyes drifted over Rae’s form and was feeling that she was not she could keep down long enough to wait. Devyn tried to picture the nun outfit with a few modifications to it that Rae was suggesting. She supposed it could be sexy then, but kept it to herself and was totally planning on looking up said modified nun photos later.

“True. It would still be an unfair battle since I’m a light weight.” Devyn admitted, but Rae already knew that. Devyn just wanted to prove that she had gotten older, obtained new skills, and perhaps one day would be able to drink Rae under a table. The latter was more of a hope that she didn’t think she could actually achieve but it didn’t hurt to try. The music came on and Devyn quickly downed the rest of her drink, part of her planning to use the empty cup as an excuse to leave the room but then Rae started swaying. Devyn was practically trapped in a trance, full on staring, and a low growl already started to rise up in her throat.

Rae was so close and now with a removed skirt. The empty cup slipped out of Devyn’s hand, falling to the ground, and thankfully not breaking. “Not sure how long that will work.” Devyn said smirking as she reached out to try and grab a hold of Rae’s waist, wanting to pull the other girl closer.

[Raegan St. Croix]

"Mhmm." She grinned oh so slyly as she nodded at Dev. She could feel Devyn's eyes following every single curve and inch of her body and had Rae not been used to it, she would have felt as flattered as a prude school girl but as for right now, it was a simple turn on. Something she was so used once upon a time was now right at her finger tips and the control was far sexier than any guy throwing money at her.

Chuckling, she couldn't help but to wonder if she would ever build up a stronger tolerance. "I'm sure after a few years you'll be able to drink with the big boys. Drinking isn't a blast until you wake up in a city bus going to Mississippi." There was no point of getting into detail with how that happened, as Raegan couldn't really remember what happened the night before.

Lifting a leg in the air, she managed to gently place it on Devyn's shoulder. Flipping her hair to the side, she smiled. "Not long... unless you had a good trainer." Taking her leg off her ex's shoulder, she turned so that she faced the pole and grasped the cold metal pole in her firm hand as she swayed her hips side to side before bending over further until her ass was closer to Devyn's personal area.

Before the girl could get the chance to touch her, Rae quickly hopped up on the pole in one swift motion and adjusted herself up high while she slowly spiraled down the pole as she looked at Devyn.

Apparently Raegan loved teasing, and the name of this game would be: Patience.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn let out a deep sigh when Raegan gave her that sly grin and a simple sound response to her question about having to wait. Devyn hated to wait; she was so bad at it. She was a person of action, not sitting around and waiting for the action to come to her. Unless she was tied up and since she was not it was difficult to behave herself and just sit there while Raegan was being a tease. Why did girl's either want it right at the moment or you were supposed to work at it the next moment in some kind of way? Why could they just not get to the part that they both wanted instead of the games?

Alright, so Devyn did it to so she really could not complain but it still sucked as she could not help but to move a little on the bed. "When you say it like that you make me sound like I'm still some kid." Devyn said, grumbling slightly towards the end. She hated being referred to a kid. The things she had done kept her far from being a kid in her books. Most of the things she had done were because of Rae even, yet the other girl still treated or spoke to her like she was some younger kid. Okay, she was but still. Devyn didn't really like the idea of getting that wasted she ended up someplace she didn't know.

There was a story there too, one that Rae had obviously gone through personally but Devyn doubted Rae wanted to talk about it at this moment in time. No, Rae seemed to be enjoying teasing Devyn at the moment. Rae lifted up a leg and oh so cruelly put it on Devyn's shoulder, only to remove it before Devyn could grab a hold of it. Calm down Devyn. She is working you up on purpose. Don't let her win. Devyn told herself as she took a deep breath. Did girls honestly like it when she tore what they were wearing from them, because it seemed like it with how so many liked to tease and work her up to that point.

Then Raegan was super close, practically in Devyn's lap but as Devyn reached out to grab her, the other girl was moving away. Rae easily showing her skills on that stupid pole that was not where Devyn was. Devyn could not help but to let out a growl then, practically glaring at Raegan now as she moved to cross her arms over her chest. She was trying to be patient, but it was stupid. Everything was stupid. Why did frustration lead to the best word that Devyn could use, say or even think to just be the word stupid?

[Raegan St. Croix]

Rae was a natural born teaser, that was her job at late hours of the night. She was supposed to look pretty and tease and get money. It was almost like a second nature to her at this point and by now, she was just eating up the fact that Devyn couldn't handle it. She wasn't sure if it was a turn on because the girl wanted her so bad or if it was all in good fun because Rae knew exactly what she was doing. As for her still being a kid, Rae could admit that mentally, Devyn was far from a kid but legally she was. Rae wasn't too far ahead of Devyn either but it was pure entertainment when she even suggested that her ex was too young. Not that it changed how Rae saw her, she just enjoyed teasing Devyn.

Once she reached the bottom of the pole, she couldn't help but to laugh at Devyn and how cute she looked just sitting there with her arms crossed. So impatient, just so frustrated with her. Raegan's heels clicked against the hardwood floor a she went back to Devyn and easily went back to straddling Devyn's lap on the bed. Rae unfolded Devyn's arms as she smiled against her ex's ear, her voice in a hushed tone. "You're so impatient..."

Rae's soft lips met with the side of her neck, leaving a trail of kisses that led up to her jawline, "...i'ts such a turn on." 

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn knew Rae liked to tease; she had to deal with it back when they were actually going out and now she was dealing with it again after so long. It made her angry but at the same time she loved it as it just fueled her to want Raegan more. It was the perfect distraction, but she knew it was just that. A distraction. With anyone else it likely would not have worked, but since she had loved Raegan it was working a little now. Devyn really did mean that when she loved someone she meant that she was going to love them forever.

So even with how Raegan left her and how they had not seen one another for so long, there were still feelings there. Feelings that Devyn was going to try and not latch onto or anything like that. She couldn't it hurt too much and she still wanted Zoe, that was the fresh love. Raegan was laughing then, which just had Devyn glaring at the other girl and letting out another low growl. She didn't like being teased or likely being thought of as cute. That laugh normally was associated when Raegan thought Devyn was being cute or something like that. "I'm going to have the last lau-" Devyn began to say but immediately stopped when Raegan straddled her.

The room just felt extremely hot right now, and Devyn thought it was a bit unfair that Raegan was the only one in her underwear. She was likely feeling a lot cooler then Devyn was who felt like she was ignite any moment now. Her arms were unfolded and hushed words went into her ear, causing a chill to go down her back as she let out another low growl for an entirely different reason. Raegan should have known by now that Devyn was impatient. It was why her hands were already traveling along Raegan's body, feeling her soft skin, and what fabric was still on Raegan.

Then he wonderful sensation of lips on her skin had Devyn hands moving to grab a hold of Raegan's hips to make sure that Raegan was not going to be going anywhere out of Devyn's reach now. She had caught her prey that had been teasing her and she had no plans of letting it escape. Not until she had what she wanted. "I say that makes us even then. In the whole turning one another on department." Devyn practically growled out as she moved to kiss along Rae's shoulder, making her way up the other woman's neck, and then biting down hard. Punishment for teasing her.

Devyn didn't plan to stop there however, she was already moving quickly change their position. Her goal was to move quick, lift Raegan up, toss her down onto the bed, and kiss her hard.
