A Weekend Affair # 6 - The Red Bacchanalia

Hellfire -- The White Wing

Heidi had narrowly avoided her Queen’s wrath, when delivering the news of Carolina. Haleigh hadn’t received that well, which at least filled in the blank of why Cameron had wanted Heidi to wait to go home. He must have known he would need to be near enough to do damage control. Heidi gave answers only to what she was asked, to the best of her ability, and offered up nothing more, deciding that it would be best to let her Queen talk to the others.

Cameron arrived at the party, and tried to talk to Haleigh, which went about as well as a dumpster fire. Haleigh was as cold and unyielding as Heidi had ever seen her, and no matter how Cameron pleaded, she refused him. She was being a bit of a crazy pregnant lady in Heidi’s opinion, but she had the sense not to voice it. Gia, meanwhile, took leave of her own senses, and started to interject herself into the conversation. Heidi looked down, and raised her hand to her forehead.

That girl is so daft....

Cameron had to tell Gia to mind her own business, and then go back to the argument with Haleigh, which was turning bitter quickly. Haleigh still gave no ground, and it was clear she was miserable too, because no sooner did she turn from the fight than she left the party, with the Red King no less. Heidi wanted to go to Cameron, but before she could decide what she was going to say, that meddlesome White Bishop had rushed over to him, no doubt to kiss his ass. Heidi sighed heavily and let Jack pull her towards a wine fountain. They were watching as the fighting pits began to resume their action. Heidi glanced at Neptune and her gaze got stuck there.

“You’re dressed like a gladiator....”

The sexiest one I think I’ve ever seen...

“Were you intending to join in the fighting?”

She asked, somewhat casually. She watched a smirk tug at the corners of his usually serious mouth. His dark gaze shifted from the fighting pits to seize hers.

Jack: Would you like that, Heidi?

She smiled coquettishly, her hand reaching for his bicep, but before she could respond, something else stole his attention. It was his Queen. Heidi hid her jealousy, even as she bitterly wondered why Ashley couldn’t just be happy with her little pet Savage. But her perspective had to change when they neared Ash, AJ and some blonde man Heidi thought she’d seen before.

Ashley kept her usual lechery under control, and instead focused on business, which in this case was a promotion for this blonde fellow. Suddenly Heidi realized she was honored to be present for this, the naming of the new Red Rook, and she forgot her frustration with the Red Queen over disrupting her moment with Jack.
 
Ava knew she had unintentionally struck a nerve when musing about the state of the other regent's relationship and comparing their's to hers and John's. It wasn't meant to upset him, though she could see it in his eyes that it did. They had stood the test of time for 15 years, and while they had only officially been together as lovers for a short while, it didn't feel that way. To Ava, it felt like they had been lovers for those 15 years. He was always there for her when she needed it. He put her first. He made her feel like a Queen with or without the title. John was Ava's everything, and Archer's attack solidified that. She just couldn't picture her life without John and it terrified her. But he laid all that to rest. Ava took his face within her hands, wholeheartedly agreeing with everything he said before kissing him.

Ava then joked that he tasted like cookies, trying to ease the tension that had built. Finally, John smiled that smile that made her heart flutter. Ava's grin grew, as did John's.

John: "All part of my devious plan."

She giggled deeply, kissing him once again.

"You're especially sexy when you're devious."

And he was. When John got that dark, immoral look in his eyes, it made Ava pulse with desire. He may have been quiet and stoic at face, but he was as fucking deadly as they came, and it was gloriously sexy.

John: "Now. Tell me what would make you feel better."

John put his tea down and slid his arms around her, Ava smiling as she circled her own around his neck.

"You make me feel better."

But he proceeded to list different things regardless. It made Ava smile, watching him come up with ideas.

John: "We could...curl up and get some rest. Or...Take a blanket up to the Conservatory and watch the stars..."

"Ohh..."

That sounded nice. But as John began to nuzzle her ear, Ava dipping her head into his touch with a smile, she knew she didn't want to go anywhere outside of their chambers that evening.

John: "Or I could give you a massage...I am at your service mademoiselle."

"A massage?"

Now that sounded wonderful, her body still achy from the attack. A soft moan like laugh came from Ava at the thought.

"You wouldn't mind, monsieur?"

Ava pulled back to look at John.

"Because that sounds incroyable." [amazing]

Hellfire -- The Bacchanalia

The ‘king’ had left the party with the White Queen, leaving them with the perfect opportunity to deliver news that would strengthen the bond between them and their new Rook. AJ and Ashley worked perfectly together to take advantage of the situation, as AJ waved Calder over and Ash summoned Jack. Let Alek claim the glory of publicly announcing this appointment, while the rest of the Court had a moment of celebration together.

Ashley told Siphon that he’d done well, and that both her Knight and Bishop had endorsed him also. AJ gave him a brief smile, while Jack offered a solemn nod. AJ’s smile was melting quickly, as he tried to decided whether or not he was imagining that new Rook seemed to keep looking at his Queen’s nipples. Ashley told him he was now their Red Rook, and gave him a goblet, and AJ watched as Calder paid much closer attention to what she was saying than was she was not wearing.

Ashley:"Just stay away from the White Queen, if you want to keep your life."

“The Red Queen is also unavailable, for the record.”

He interjected with a hint of a growl. But then he raised his glass and drank, the heat in his eyes softening, as Ash warned Calder he was likely to have an interesting first day, and the Rook admitted today hadn’t been boring either.

Jack: “Boring is over, brother. Each new day is like to be more intriguing than the last. The politics can be intricate. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.”

AJ laughed deeply.

“Just make sure you take notes if you do. Jack doesn’t like to waste his words, nor repeat them.”

Heidi smiled, her hand running over the bristled hair atop Jack’s head, as she sat back next to him.

Heidi: “Oh, you just have to get him started on a subject he likes, is all...”

She said warmly, her hand resting on the back of his neck, which Jack did not seem to mind.
 
The Bacchanalia

Ashley warned Calder off of the White Queen. Which probably went without saying, though the man admired Alek and might get it in his mind to taste the same fruits he did.

AJ: “The Red Queen is also unavailable, for the record.”

She turned her head, and smiled at him. She recognized the timbre of his voice.

"I thought that was obvious, my love."

She pressed her lips against his neck, enjoying his jealousy immensely. Then she turned back to the new Rook.

"The difference being that the White Queen could be very willing."

She did have an eye for a good looking man.

"But you would be lucky to escape with only one of your arms torn off. So best not."

She glanced up at AJ, the smile still playing on her lips.

"Though, as a hypothetical, I can say with certainty you would lose at least two limbs if it were me."

Calder seemed a bit overwhelmed, as she told him tomorrow would prove to be an interesting first day for him, to which he replied that today itself hadn't been boring.

Jack: “Boring is over, brother. Each new day is like to be more intriguing than the last. The politics can be intricate. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.”

AJ laughed, the sound causing flip flops in her belly and her hand to resume it's place on his leg. The others seemed to be accepting of this new addition, which was good. They needed cohesion, and adding a new person could be tricky, but they also needed a full court for the times to come.

AJ: “Just make sure you take notes if you do. Jack doesn’t like to waste his words, nor repeat them.”

Heidi: “Oh, you just have to get him started on a subject he likes, is all...”

Her eyes slid to the White Knight, and her Bishop. Their affection seemed genuine, and Heidi was joining in on the group rather than acting the lone circle of white among red. It was good, and made her more assured that she had not made a mistake in allowing this relationship to continue.

"Jack is excellent at giving counsel, a resource you would wisely take advantage of."

She smiled, and nodded to Jack, warmed by the knowledge that she could trust her Bishop implicitly. Her eyes slid back to Calder.

"All of us, though, are here for you. We are family. And you are one of us now."

She sat up, then leaned over to grasp his shoulder.

"So relax. Stop being so nervous. Have some more wine."

She laughed and sat back, lifting her own cup to her lips.

"I'm not entirely sure what Haleigh will do when Elena arrives tomorrow. But be assured, Elena thinks she is better than everyone in this building. Haleigh may be Malice's daughter, but Elena thinks she is her true heir. And now that Cameron is the White King? She'll want her daughter to take the place she was never able to. Mark my words."

She took another drink.

"This won't be fun."
 
The Black King & Queen's Suite

They had their tea, and then he cuddled her, asking what would make her feel better. After everything that had happened to her that weekend, he wanted to make sure she had some attention paid to her and her needs. He suggested a massage, and she seemed to perk up.

Ava: "A massage? You wouldn't mind, monsieur?"

He raised his eyebrows.

"What's to mind?"

He switched sides, nuzzling her other ear.

"My hands...your body..."

She pulled back to look at him.

Ava: "Because that sounds incroyable." [amazing]

"A massage it is, then."

He reached over and picked up a pillow, putting it flat so she could lie down, and then he slipped out of bed. He went to the bathroom, and picked up one of the oils she used after she showered. He climbed back onto the bed, making sure she was arranged properly, then brushed her hair lightly off her back. He kissed the back of her neck, before pouring some of the oil onto his hands and pressing them onto her shoulders. He knelt over her, kneading her muscles, moving over her back. He grinned.

"I challenge you to stay awake."
 
As John nuzzled her ear, he began to list off different things to do to make her feel better. Ava smiled, her hands running along the back of his head and shoulders, just wanting to touch him. He suggest a massage and that grabbed her attention, but she wanted to make sure he wouldn't mind doing all the work.

John: "What's to mind?"

He switched ears and Ava's stomach fluttered as her grin grew.

John: "My hands...your body..."

She softly giggled, biting her bottom lip as she pulled back to look at him.

"Ahhh, so there is something in it for you..."

She teased with a little laugh before telling him that sounded absolutely amazing. John was immediate to accommodate her wishes, leaning over to grab a pillow and lay it flat on the bed.

John: "A massage it is, then."

As he began to slip off the bed, she captured his bicep to stop him. As he turned to her, she stole a quick kiss.

"Thank you, babe."

John then disappeared into the bathroom as Ava moved the comforter to the empty side of the bed, leaving only the sheets exposed. She slowly laid down on her stomach and stretched out, her muscles aching and causing a little groan of discomfort as she did so. As she rested her head on the pillow, John came out from the bathroom carrying one of her essential oils that she used routinely after showering. Ava lifted her head a bit as she narrowed her eyes to see the label, smiling that he chose her favorite one.

"You're going to smell amazing after this."

She quipped with a grin, knowing he would be covered in floral scented oil as well. John climbed into bed, making sure she was situated correctly before brushing some loose strands of hair away from her neck. His gently touch already gave her goosebumps, but his lips gave her chills. Ava smiled, shutting her eyes in preparation. Then, she felt his oil covered hands slide along her shoulder blades, slowly kneading her muscles. Ava let out a low moan at the feeling, his hands moving down her back as she sighed out. It felt like heaven, her body completely relaxing under his touch.

John: "I challenge you to stay awake."

Ava grinned at that, lifting her head a bit to look back at him.

"I challenge him not to."

She slapped the side of John's thigh playfully, knowing it would be nearly impossible for him not to get aroused by this. Ava rested her head back down on the pillow, her eyes shutting once again as she let herself enjoy the massage. His hands glided across her spin and down to her lower back, Ava groaning softly as he began to pressed onto one particular spot that was sore.

"Mmm...right there..."

Ava groaned with a mixture of pleasure and pain as John began to work that particular spot until the knot was gone and he moved onto another part of her body. She was completely relaxed at this point, and very close to loosing John's challenge. But despite John's massage relaxing her, his large hands on her body kept her very alert at the same time. She savored every minute of it, never wanting it to end.

"That feels so good..."

She murmured softly.

Ava was acting like her old self, the playful, laughing girl he'd known since he was a teenager. It heartened him to see, and he was more than happy to give her a massage, and pamper her a bit, after all that she'd been through. She laid down, and he made sure she was comfortable, before heading to the bathroom and bringing back a bottle of her essential oil, which he started to massage into her shoulders and back.

Ava: "You're going to smell amazing after this."

He grinned.

"Don't I already smell amazing?"

He kept working on her back, not to hard, feeling her relax completely under his hands.

Ava: "That feels so good..."

The sounds she was making was more than a little distracting, but he stayed the course, working on her lower back. But he had to distract himself, or this was going to be a short massage.

"If I'm going to be your masseuse for the evening, does that mean we have to gossip?"

He chuckled, smiling down at her.

"Because I heard that Elena Estrada is coming here to the mansion...and bringing Cameron's daughter with her."

His hands moved a little lower.

"Boom."
 
John was working on muscles that made Ava audibly moan out with a mixture of pain and pleasure. His fingers were like magic, in more ways than one, and although she was completely relaxed, her body was completely alert.

John: "If I'm going to be your masseuse for the evening, does that mean we have to gossip?"

Ava unintentionally frowned, hoping that him being her masseuse would lead to something more along the lines of a happy ending. John must have seen her face because he chuckled, making Ava smile and open her eyes to look back at him. She knew he was enjoying himself, and likely distracting himself from exactly what she wanted him to do. But she had to admit, she was a little curious as to what this gossip could be.

"Go on."

John: "Because I heard that Elena Estrada is coming here to the mansion...and bringing Cameron's daughter with her. Boom."

"Oh fuck me."

Ava groaned out as she let her head fall back onto the pillow. Elena and her daughter coming to the mansion was just going to make the whole fucking Alek, Haleigh, Cameron, Elena situation that much more tense. Alek trying to comfort Haleigh in order to continue to try and win her over, Haleigh playing right into it because she's pissed off that Elena is here, Elena being Elena and swooning over Cameron 24/7 while simultaneously shooting daggers at Haleigh, and Cameron attempting to win Haleigh back while entertaining his ex and daughter. Should be a fucking ball.

"I am so happy that none of this situation involves us or our court."

The black court seemed to be dodging the giant quadrangle situation, and Ava aimed to keep it that way. She wanted them to be Switzerland in this mess. Ava groaned out, gently shaking her head.

"I don't want to think about any of that while you're massaging my naked body."

She chuckled before finally rolling onto her back. Looking up at John with a playful glint in her eyes, Ava guided John's face to hers with a smirk.

"But I do believe it's time to massage the front...."

She then captured his lips as his hands already began to roam down her body.
