Firestarter [M] [Goblin]

[Juno]

"I see," she answered thoughtfully. There was really nothing to ponder, though, no question in her mind that she wanted to stay with him if the mood continued between them. "Then who am I to stop you? If you are as skilled as you say I would love to see more. Do more," she admitted with a shaky exhale.

[GoblinFae]

Rene leaned in towards her face as if to kiss her. "You're the mistress," he breathed against the shell of her ear, before withdrawing completely from her, leaving her where she stood pressed against the wall as he disappeared back within the crowd.

[Juno]

Georgiana could only hold her breath, staring blankly out at the rest of the room once he had left her. She tried to remain emotionless, but there was a nagging pull within her that would not let her forget what had just happened and left her aching. It smouldered within her belly and she felt uncomfortably hot even with him gone.

Natasha had been watching from a distance and approached her sister once she was alone once more, a knowing smile there as she handed her a glass of water. It was thankfully gulped down but did nothing to quench her real thirst. "That was spectacular, was it not?" her voice broke through her haze and the elder sister finally met her eyes.

"Brilliant," she praised softly before clearing her throat and letting out a shaky sigh. She straightened clothes that were not wrinkled and tried to appear normal once more as she took her sister's arm and began circulating the room with her. There was no person she talked too nor any subject that could erase the images and thoughts that plagued her, haunted her.

[GoblinFae]

After taking a few moments to compose himself in the cool outdoors of the balcony, Rene returned to the dance hall, feeling completely confident and in control. Georgiana's lack of reprimand had only spurred him on and he was more than ready to raise the bar.

Easily locating the pair of sisters in the room, Rene returned to them and bowed respectfully to them once he had reached them. "Might I have the honor of a dance Little Miss?" he asked, offering a hand out towards Natasha without even a glance in Georgiana's direction.

[Juno]

She had not noticed him until he was upon them, the noblewoman watching their interaction with a bit of regret that he would not ask her. She clung to her sister, though, turning as if to lead her away but the younger Whitley girl was having none of it. Making a big, giggling show of keeping her feet planted she unhooked their arms and nodded eagerly as she shot him a winning smile with not a glance to her sister. "Of course!" Natasha cried excitedly, taking his hand and bowing her head to him in kind. "It would be my honor, sir."

Georgiana was determined not to let them see her mope, but the sparkle was definitely gone from her eyes as she waved them off. She turned her back to them and focused her attention on other company instead so she would not need to watch.

[GoblinFae]

Rene easily whisked the woman away towards the center of the dancefloor where he began to dance with her, slowly swaying their bodies as he held her close. "Don't forget to breathe," he warningly teased her before beginning to guide her in a dance of his own making. The more he danced, the bigger the crowd around the dancefloor formed until it was once more clear except for him and his partner.

The Maoin dancer easily manipulated Natasha about the room as if she was nothing more than a leaf in the wind. He whirled her about gently until her back was to his front and used his own body as a mold that would direct hers in the dance, his legs moving hers, his arm twirling hers until they moved as one. Any mistake she made was easily covered and made into a move entirely of its own.

[Juno]

Georgiana tried not to notice the way the room shifted once again, the attention of many obviously focused on what was happening behind her. It wasn't long before she could not even hold a proper conversation, receiving apologetic glances as people watched their dance over her shoulder.

Natasha knew not a thing about his style of dance but he made it easy to follow his lead and the young woman was soon brimming with confidence in her steps. She let out a short laugh once she noticed they were alone, blushing a bit for the attention but thrilled that they were putting on such a good show to deserve the space. Looking for her sister she noticed that Georgiana seemed to be the only person ignoring them.

Determined to get her out of her funk the younger woman teasingly brushed her hand at her sister's shoulder as they passed, laughing as she jumped and tensed. Natasha smirked confidently as her sister finally, reluctantly turned to watch them. She noticed the flicker of jealousy that broke through before the elder sister was rolling her eyes and mumbling something about her being childish.

[GoblinFae]

Catching what passed between the sisters and willing to raise the ante as well, Rene switched dance tactics. He moved to a less playful and more sensual dance, allowing his hands to run open-palmed across Natasha's body, narrowly missing the truly taboo areas while still worshiping the borderline ones. Rene made their dance like a foray between lovers as he tossed and tugged the woman across the floor, never keeping them apart for long as if to do so would tear his very heart from his chest. His eyes though often strayed from Natasha's to try and match Georgiana's as if daring her to stop him or to even join in.

[Juno]

It was beautiful, they were beautiful, she could not deny. The spark of jealousy was spreading quickly, burning and aching in her chest as she tried again and again to look away. Something kept her coming back every time, unable to miss it despite how intimately he danced with her sister.

Georgiana raised a questioning brow once she noticed him looking at her. There was no mistaking it and she certainly felt it was a challenge. Yet, she could not bring herself to answer it in front of so many other people, could not bring herself to punish him for having fun at a party she'd brought him to no matter how it tortured her.

Natasha was blushing for the whispers she heard but she did not stop Rene from touching so openly. In turn, she let her hands meet his arms, chest, and back when they were close, her fingers gliding along muscle and silently praising his physique, practically worshipping it in return.

There was a brief moment when they twirled closer again that Georgiana found herself reaching out, her fingertips brushing along Rene's forearm before quickly retracting. She turned her head away in shame, hoping no one had seen her. She did not yet realize the normalcy of an owner calling out for her slave but she was embarrassed to be doing so now.

[GoblinFae]

He felt the brush and slyly smirked in the midst of twirling Natasha away from him again. Feeling the close of the dance coming, Rene sped his movements, knowing that it would cause a dizzying effect for both his dance partner and himself before suddenly clutching the woman close to him dipping her over his knee as he hid buried and hid his face in her neck.

"Thank you for this dance," he breathed in a whisper against her skin. "You are amazing!"

[Juno]

Natasha was indeed quite dizzy from their spinning. The young woman gasped and gave a breathless laugh as her chest heaved for her efforts. "Thank you. You are far too kind," she praised, pressing up against him to try and right herself again. Her cheeks flushed brightly from her excitement and exertion and she cast an excited look to Georgiana, though she only laughed more for it.

Her sister did not share her enthusiasm and instead had taken to sipping at yet another glass of wine. The redhead watched with a heatedly jealous glare as several other ladies seemed to be approaching the inner circle around the dancefloor, as if trying to work up the courage to ask for a dance with the Maoin.

[GoblinFae]

Rene remained still, wishing to steady Natasha after he had used her against Georgiana for his own devices. The gathering throng of women though was easily evaded as he firmly but politely informed them he belonged to another and it was not him but another whose permission they required. For the moment though he begged rest while escorting Natasha back to her sister, his mistress.

[Juno]

Natasha was beaming with pride as they returned to Georgiana and she resumed her place at her side. "Did you see?!" she asked her, excited still from their dancing.

"Of course," Georgiana scoffed, rolling her eyes and shaking her head. "And you are lucky you did that with Rene. Don't dance like that in public with other men," she warned, pinching her sister's arm playfully. "You don't want them getting ideas."

"As if any other man here could dance like him, right?" Natasha quipped. Georgiana only shook her head, not wanting to stroke Rene's ego nor squash those of any nearby men.

"Have you had your fun, then, Rene? Had your fill of dancing?" she finally addressed him, a brow twitching slightly with her irritation at him being approached, though she did not realize the reasoning why he had turned away other ladies.

[GoblinFae]

He looked at her with confused innocence as if he did not understand what he had been doing to rile her up so. "Have I done something not to your liking, Mistress? Should I continue dancing? Or was I only supposed to dance with you? I told the others I was only yours. But, I can dance again for you or with you if that is your desire," Rene continued, deepening his voice some from feigned concern to seductive knowing. "I am fit enough for more."

[Juno]

His string of questions bothered her more than it probably should have. After all, he was only trying to be an obedient slave, right? A part of her knew he was being anything but with the way he'd whisked her sister away without any firm confirmation that she was alright with it. The suggestion in his words was not missed upon her, but she swallowed back the shiver that rose up her spine.

After a few moments of tense staring Georgiana finally let her gaze shift to other things as her lips drew a tight line of annoyance across her face. "You may do whatever you wish, Rene, whatever catches your fancy. We are here for the night and will return home in the morning. It is only fair you are allowed a bit of fun for yourself. I believe it was you who asked for a bit more free reign while in Serendipity," she told him, the truth of her words stinging her pride. She truly wanted nothing more than to drag him back to the room with her to keep him for herself, but she was wary of his behavior around such a large crowd. Part of her felt it was all a show from someone who thrived on attention, and she really could not forget their earlier argument despite the copious amounts of alcohol blurring the lines of her inhibitions tonight.

[GoblinFae]

"If that is the case Mistress then I shall bid you both an early evening. I desire to retire after such a performance," he shot a smile towards Natasha as he bowed to the pair. "Enjoy your evening Mistress, Little Miss."

Gracefully, Rene withdrew without another word or a chance for Georgiana to tell him off or stop him. Making his way through the crowd though he quickly located a pretty maid and sheepishly begged her assistance in locating his room, making her blush and giggle as she eagerly moved to assist him, even going so far as to link arms with him along the way.

[Juno]

Georgiana's eyes bore into Rene's back as he departed, a scowl souring her face as she held her tongue. Seeing him speaking with a maid and leave the ballroom with her spiked another pang of jealousy. How dare he not even ask her to dance! Of course he'd suggested it, but she was not going to be reduced to asking her own slave for his attention in front of so many she knew.

Her sister's chattering in her ear went unheard, the poor girl's excitement completely lost upon her elder sister as a box of silence closed in upon her. Her thoughts were quite enough noise on their own as she came to her own conclusions about what she'd seen. She realized quite quickly that she was not alright with him doing just anything he wanted. Georgiana Whitley would not be sleeping with tousled sheets on a bed smelling of sex knowing her own slave had used it for a tryst with her friend's servant. No! It was preposterous, it was scandalous, and needed to be put to a halt before it even started.

The noblewoman was much less graceful than she would have been without having consumed copious amounts of alcohol throughout the night but she was quick as anything to weave her way through the crowd and follow them down the hall. She kept a bit of distance, her tongue seemingly sticking in her mouth and keeping her from speaking up until they were nearly to the door of the temporary bedroom. The maid seemed so bubbly, so kind, so sweet, and it only served to fuel her jealousy further. He'd flung all sorts of insults her way in their time together and suddenly in the company of others he was being such a gentleman to everyone besides herself. It was his fault her mood was so sour.

"Rene," she finally managed to hiss, a small smirk of satisfaction at her lips to see the maid visibly jump. "This is not what I meant when I said you could have a bit of fun," she scolded him, gesturing at the girl with disgust.

[GoblinFae]

Rene's eyes widened with confusion at the sound of Georgiana's voice. "I am sorry that you find the act of sleeping to be lacking, Mistress however as I said earlier I find myself quite finished with dancing for the rest of the evening. If this does not please you then you need only command me Mistress, as always."

[Juno]

"Sleeping," she scoffed, her hands on her hips as she eyed the young woman. "I have no issue with you getting your rest, but you don't just leave with some girl to just sleep." Georgiana wasn't even aware how much she was reading into such an innocent situation. The poor maid looked quite flustered and seemed like she was struggling with how to address it and defend herself without making a complete fool of herself.

[GoblinFae]

"I do when I require someone to direct me back to the rooms I am meant to sleep in as I am not equipped with your amazing sense of direction, Mistress," he deadpanned, completely unamused. Turning back towards the maid he continued in a softer tone. "Thank you again for showing me the way. You should probably get back before your Mistress comes after you as mine did."
