It's been too long, to the point of frustration, to the point where she's wondering if the years on the island have made her lose her touch. More than once Saffron has wondered if she should just give it up, if she just needs to admit to herself that she doesn't have the magic she once had out in the black that spurred her marks to be on her inside of ten minutes, as she'd told Mal once upon a time. She's never had to work this long to get what she wants.
She's been wondering, but tonight, it's like it's all finally sliding into place. She and Molokov have been together the better part of the afternoon, strolling in the park, enjoying a nice dinner, going out dancing. And now that evening's turning into night, she can feel it - that spark, that sense the time is right, the feeling she used to get back when she did this for a living that let her know all the pieces were falling together. Saffron's noticed the way he's been looking at her all night, the way he silently claims ownership by slipping an arm around her in public, by keeping her close as they dance.
She's holding her shoes in one hand as they move off to the side in the low-key club where they've been dancing. She's been making sure to stay close to him as much as possible, as if she can't stand to be too far away, and now she slips in beneath his arm, her own curling around his waist as she stands facing him, pleasantly buzzed. "It's getting warm in here, Alexander," she murmurs, nuzzling against his neck.

"Would you perhaps like to go someplace a little more... cooler?"

This is heading in the exact right direction. Saffron returns Molokov's smile with something like anticipation in her eyes. "I think that sounds perfect," she replies, her desire to go home with him apparent, but not for the reason he thinks.

"One more dance and then we shall go?"

"Can't we just...go now?" she asks, wiggling just a little against him, a pleading note in her voice. "Please, Alexander?"

"By all means," he said after kissing her forehead. "If you would like to go now, then let us go!"

Once they're outside she stops, turning into him again like she needs that closeness again. "I'm looking forward to us...having some time alone," she murmurs, reaching up to run her fingers lightly along his jawline.

Fortunately it would not be too much longer now before they could enjoy each other.

He hailed a taxi and when it pulled up to where they were standing, he ceremoniously opened the door to allow Helen to enter first.

By the time they reach their destination, Saffron's pretty sure she's got him right where she wants him.

He guided her inside the building and up to his flat. He stopped for a light kiss then pulled his keys out. "I will need to put Vova into the bathroom and then I am all yours."

"Yes, I know, little one," he said as he picked Vova up and carried him over to the bathroom. He set him down on the floor and quickly shut the door before he could scamper out.
He turned his focus back on Helen and pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. "Now," he murmured. "It is just you and me."

It's not difficult for her to be enthusiastic when her plan is rolling out so gorram nice.
"You've got me all alone, Alexander," she says softly, tightening her arms around his neck as she presses against him. "Whatever will you do with me?"

She pauses, as if she's debating whether or not to say something. "There is one thing," she says, nuzzling at his neck. "But I'm not sure if I should say. It's a bit...scandalous."

"If that is your desire then I would be very happy to indulge you."
It wasn't as if she could truly pin him down, after all.

She looks up at him, her smile pleased and more than a little aroused. "Really?" she says. "I was worried you'd think it was a little too - out there."
no subject
"Not at all," he reassured her. "It excites me that you would want to do this. I even, and I hope you will not be too shocked, have a pair of handcuffs that you could use to have your wicked, wicked way with me."
