Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM): Monster Academy - Chapter 4.2e Dance with the Devil [Mature]

[Justin OOC]

The long black limo pulled up in front of The Morneau Hotel in Paris. Tonight was its grand ball, celebrating its first year of being open, and a great many memebers European high society were present, now including Forbesi Aido, the Entrepeneur and true owner of the hotel, and Lilith Syn, his personal guest for the evening.

He wore his slim black tuxedo with red trim, and looked positively ravishing with his devil may care smile, and offered his hand to Lilith to help her from the car. The opulence of the hotel was impressive, very few new hotels were built like this, what with all the economic issues. He smiled to her. "This will be fun Lilith, trust me."

[Lillith]

Lillith had taken some time to prepare for this meeting. She enjoyed Forbesi's attention and his connection to high society was a pleasent bonus. Usually Lillith would've been denied access to such places being well known to be the "Queen of Porn" and everything attached to that reputation was something members of the higher ups would wrinkle up their noses. But with Forbesi around, no one dared to challenge his status quo.

He owned the place - and he owned almost everything they have come to enjoy and if he enjoyed her presence everyone else should, too.

Unfortunately the nature of this meeting wasn't as pleasent as Lillith would've hoped for and honestly - being around Forbesi was always dangerous. He was the devil after all - or the next best thing to the devil. But Lillith was not without her own secrets and abilities. He knew she was one of the eldest of the Monster Lords and thus her influence and power was not to be underestimated. It was this aire of aggressiveness that made her enjoy life to the fullest. She was ready to face him if necessary but she also knew he wouldn't dare attack her here.

The dress she was wearing was an elaborately designed body-clinging evening robe that left little to the imagination and covered as little as possible without breaching good taste. Still her exaggerated features and voluptousness betrayed her attempts to dress descent and she didn't really care. People expected her to look like this, she might aswell indulge herself and give Forbesi some more reason to 'explain' his choice of company for this evening.

She took his offered hand and smiled back at him, "I can't wait for the surprises you have in store for me, Forbesi.", she replied waiting for his move and to setup whatever he had planned.

[Justin OOC]

They were escorted within, past all the distinguished guests, both nodding and smiling where appropriate. The band immediately began playing the sort of music Forbesi preferred. He smiled to her, leading her there while many others who wished to gain his favor also made their way to the dance floor.

They arrived there just as a song ended, and the band began a waltz. No words were exchanged, she simply followed his lead, and the two demons danced as if possessing heavenly grace. It was not until the second dance that Forbesi spoke. "So, Your daughter has chosen the boy. The same one you would choose, if she had not."

"I can smell it Lilith, I can smell Him."

His yellow eyes seemed to glimmer in the dimmed lights as he pulled her to him. "Why do you bedevil me so?"

[Lillith]

"That's because I can...", she purred back at him but she could sense the subliminal threat in his words. He would rather kill the boy and his daughter than go through another humiliation. But Lillith wouldn't allow that.

"Maybe this time you win, Forbesi. I know what's on your mind and I won't allow you to threaten my daughter or the boy. So what is your price?"

The dance had quickly come down to its core. Forbesi didn't play - he always meant business and this time the stakes were simply too high for her to foolishly gamble. Her eyes briefly showed their yellowish demonic nature but she quickly assumed her disguise unless they'd attract unwanted attention.

[Justin OOC]

He looked at her, his golden eyes flickering, and an impish grin spreading. "What makes you think I have one this time Lilith?"

"Why protect him so? He could well be more dangerous to all Yokai, Delilah included, than any other living thing. With his heritage, with what he could be, she could be the very first one he slays."

"Would you still protect him, if he took her by accident?"

[Lillith]

"Because he won't - I know his soul.", she held his gaze and now he could see a veiled threat behind her eyes. There was no doubt, he wouldn't lay hands on her daughter - not Alexander.

[Justin OOC]

"We'll see." The dance finished, and The next began, this was far more active, a song meant for the Tango. As the two demons went through the motions, he smiled wickedly. "I'm just one lord, Lilith. Do you really think the Panther Lord, or Adranthean will be half so willing to accept this wolf in our midst? If he's lucky the boy will be dead when they devour him."

[Lillith]

"Then help me, Forbesi. Help me convince the other Lords that the boy won't be a threat for us.", now she was starting to gamble but this time the risk was at least something she could measure. With Forbesi at her side the other Lords would think twice before laying hands on Kyohei. She would vouch with her own life just to see her daughter happy and her trust in Alexander was unshakable.

This time her look gave away how vulnerable this issue made her. She was willing to give her own life for her daughter.

[Justin OOC]

"You'd go that far would you Lilith? Interesting."

The dance finished and he led her from the floor, out to a prepared booth, overlooking the main floor. "I will consider it Lilith. I'm still not sold on letting him live myself. He's a direct relation to Aoi, and while we were civil tonight, that's not the norm."

Appetizers were brought, and he waited to speak until the server was gone.

"His family has killed many of our kind, your daughters.... The Angels have ever been we Yokai's greatest foes. Now we find what he could also be, a Shinigami, an enemy to all. You know how serious it is. against a normal Shinigami the power of a monster Lord is enough. Against an experienced one, of his pedigree, We would fall."

"You're asking me to place alot of faith in him, in you, and in all those children."

"My son and daughter aren't known for rational decisions, and Your daughter is very emotional. The others are a Troll, a Jurai gumo, a dryad, a warlock, a dragon, a panther, and a half angel. Not an average group of children by any stretch. But still not the group I'd put in charge of our futures."

[Lillith]

“They wouldn’t dare to start a war.”, Lillith whispered back to him making sure only he would hear her words.

“And I’m willing to take the risk for my daughters sake. Alexan... Kyohei wouldn’t hurt her, I simply know.”, Lillith knew the risk involved and Forbesi was right about one thing. Should he become what everyone feared they would all be doomed.

But what was their existence worth if there was no hope and just betrayel and deceit? Lillith was different in many ways and while she was considered ‘evil’ or a force of darkness, essentially a Monster Lord, she wasn’t someone who took live just because she could. She understood what love meant, she understood what giving life meant – maybe that would always seperate her from the others but she didn’t care much. All that mattered was that this was worth the risk and her faith in Alexander was imperturbable.

If things went south she would face him and he would stop. There was no other way.

[Justin OOC]

"I will stay my hand, Lilith, and make it a contract, at the price of a favor to be named later, from any who bear your blood."

He looked at her. His terms were weighted to his favor, as he could ask her to do anything, and she would have to comply.

[Lillith]

“You may have any favor directly from me, but not my blood. My progeny bears no responsibility for this and as such should be free from any treaty. I surrender to you Forbesi, but you shall only have me, no one else.”, Lillith hoped that Forbesi was still madly in love with her even though she had rejected him in the past. She wouldn’t risk her daughter or any of her other children to be drawn in to this dirty game.

It was her deal and she would be responsible for any consequences – even if it meant her death, at least her daughter would survive, that was all that mattered to her.

“I’m all yours Forbesi, leave my blood out of this deal.”, she demanded and smiled at him the sweetest smile she had. Her heart was pounding faster than ever – there was much at stake now... too much actually.

[Justin OOC]

Hi gold eyes flashed. "You still think you can dictate terms to me Lilith."

"I am Lord of all demons."

"Still, I will accept this deal, though we may both regret it."

With that the contract was done.

"So, now that business is done, what would you like to do with the rest of the evening?"

[Lillith]

“I’m entirely yours, Forbesi – just tell me what you desire and I shall make this evening unforgetable.”, Lillith had taken seat next to him while she leaned forward with her upperbody granting Forbesi a good view of her generous cleavage. Under the table one of her incredibly long legs was starting to tease his by gently pushing against his calves.

He could smell her scent, an intoxicating smell of roses and honey which could make a mortal man lose his mind. Forbesi was very aware of her advances and she knew perfectly well how to maintain the facade of just having a nice table conversation... everything was possible now, all he needed to do is say his wish.

[Justin OOC]

"You understand that whatever comes this night, It is not the favor of you I would ask." One of his hands dropped to caress her firm and smoothe thigh. "Tonight is simply old friends, reconnecting."

[Lillith]

“Of course, my Lord.”, she hushed back to him. And actually she didn’t care anymore, not for tonight. Things were irrevocably set now and she was at his mercy until her part of the contract was fulfilled. Instead of resenting it Lillith decided to enjoy herself – she was after all Lillith and there was none like her.

Her arms found their way around his neck and she pulled herself closer to gently caress his neck while she encouraged his hand to wander further up her leg. Fortunately her dress was designed in a way to grant him full access to her if he wanted, Lillith never wore underwear unless it was necessary or requested from the producers of her movies.

Her mighty breasts threatened to spil out of her dress as she edged closer to Forbesi – she was practically all over him now and slowly attention was drawn to them... but Lillith didn’t care. She would have him here right now if he wanted and the rising tension and irritation from the people around them only added to her enjoyment. She loved braking taboos, she loved embarrassing Forbesi. All mighty Forbesi, Lord of all Demons.

[Justin OOC]

Forbesi smiled. "I love it when you surrender to your nature, it makes you so much more, appealing." With that his hand slid beneath her dress, quickly beginning to tease her, his lips upon her neck, a feeling a mutual lust arising from both of them. "Weave your magic over the building. While I don't mind putting on a show, not with you, I would be a rude host to not provide entertainment for all my guests."

It was clear, he would take her here in front of everyone, and his plan to keep it from being something that would cause a stir in the human world, he wanted her to drive all others present deep into the throes of lust as well, so they would all be guilty together.

"Or is such a feat beyond you, Lilith who taught humanity the art of love?"

His other hand had reached up, squeezing a breast that no hand could contain, and driving a gasp from the eldest succubi, Forbesi was in the mood for a rough night, and Lilith was his choice of partner. What he wanted, he almost always got, sooner or later.
