Sebastian House

[Anita]

Anita gave a slight laugh as he picked her up and took her to the bedroom. Hayden seemed to have a way of knowing what it was she was looking for, and they hit a give and take rhythm. They explored each other, and it was exactly what she needed. 

---

They finished and Anita lay down on the bed next to Hayden, still breathing heavily. ”Fuck,” she said, a slight chuckle coming to her lips. ”That’s exactly what I needed today.”

She took few deep breaths to slow her heart rate and then leaned over to give Hayden another kiss before laying down next to him. She fell quiet, content to just be there for now.

[Hayden]

Sex was rarely awful, he'd had a few in his lifetime, but that was mostly when he was younger and he didn't have the skills to read his partner as well as he did now. The last few sex partners he'd had were either emotionally in need of something or Hayden was completely enveloped in him... But it was different this night with Anita. It was more about the joys and pleasures of each other and while he didn't know her well, he knew her enough to make the night go perfectly well leaving them both satisfied and sated -- hopefully. Not that he couldn't go another round, just it might take a good long rest.

Hayden chuckled as Anita declared her satisfaction. "I aim to please." He did more than that, but it was fun to say anyway. "Sometimes being me is great." He wasn't bragging. It was a joke and his voice reflected the humor in it. "My father is highly disappointed in how I choose to use my skills." Hayden leaned over on to his elbow and looked down at the beautiful woman still in his bed. "And I'm not talking about my poweress in bed. My brother used to tell me I'd make a good whore since it was part of where I choose to use the gifts my father honed in me." He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips. "Would you like another drink? Or some water?" He shifted out of bed and stretched his limbs. It was meant as a tease but it was also good to stretch.

[Anita]

Anita laughed at his quip about being himself. The man was confident and he had showed that in interactions. She smile as he got out of bed and stretched. She followed suit. As a firefighter and a medic it was important to stay in shape. She ate well and exercised regularly, and her body showed that. She stretched as he did, returning his tease before giving him a smack on the ass.

”As much as I love your specialty, water is probably the better choice. I have to hydrate after all that exercise.” she grinned. Their session had not been a short one. ”well you certainly have prowess in bed, and a phenomenal bartender, but what other skills are you referring to?” she asked legitimately interested, not even thinking this might be related to his other job. Her mind was still reeling a bit in post-coital bliss.

[Hayden]

Hayden didn't bother putting clothes on but he did grab a towel on his way out the door to wrap around his waist. While he didn't expect there to be kids or pop ins it didn't mean it wouldn't happen. It was a habit he'd picked up watching Nox who was also very comfortable walking around his house naked as a jay-bird. It was better to be safe than to assume. But Hayden lived alone -- you'd think he didn't have to worry.

As he passed through the hall he spoke. "Sky make sure the deadbolt is locked and don't unlock it for the kids please."

"Sure thing." she sounded quietly in the living room -- the only place there was a speaker she could talk through. His house wasn't wired like Nox's

"Water it is. My other skills are related to the near completion of a PhD in Pshychology. My father noted when I was really young that I was good at getting people to talk to me and do things for me. So he honed those skills. Found teachers for me who could bring at those attributes. I learned to read people's micro movements and expressions. Even esoteric shit like numerology and astrology. I learned the fine arts of interrogation and seduction, all to further my father's aims. He wasn't too happy when I didn't return to finish my PhD and instead opened a bar to utilize my social skills." While Hayden talked he poured two glasses of water and made another sandwich. "Half a sandwich?" He winked teasingly, it could lead to more, but he wasn't going to aim for round two unless it was something she wanted.

[Anita]

Anita followed Hayden out, putting on her shirt and a pair of panties as she did. It wasn’t that she cared so much as he had wrapped a towel around himself. She figured she should follow suit. Hayden’s explanation about his skills put things into a new perspective. She accepted the glass of water with gratitude.

”That would be welcome,” she said with a smile and a wink of her own. ”So that explains how you seemed to know what I wanted and liked in there. Watching my subtle cues and responding to it. That’s impressive!”

It made her wonder how much he had figured out. Simple things like this was just a fun thing for her - not something she wanted more of. Not that she wouldn’t have sex with him again - just that she didn’t want a romantic relationship. She was fine with friends. He implied with his statements that he had many partners. She didn’t care if that was the case. Sex was fun and that’s why she did it.

She accepted the sandwich and took a bite. ”I bet it comes in handy as a bartender. Or just in general I’m assuming.” she gave him a smirk. ”So what can you read about me - right now? Or does me knowing that you can do it somehow make it more difficult.”

Honestly it brought questions to her mind. Not about him, but about herself. She sometimes saw things. Things that just let her know something was going to happen right before it did. But mostly - she was curious about what he could do.

[Hayden]

Hayden smiled "It comes in handy every where but it's also a bit of a burden when people find out. Not that I mind this, but it's always a monkey trick." He sounded a little annoyed, but he wasn't annoyed at her. He wasn't even annoyed at Nox for taking advantage of him in that way. He was just trying to help the kids. But Hayden smiled and tilted his head all part of the show.

"I can tell you are all right with the way things are going between us. That I don't have to have that conversation about not wanting a relationship, this is fun and I'm good until it gets serious." Hayden took a long sip of his water. "You take care of yourself cause of your job but I expect there is probably more to it than just that. You see more than you let on."

[Anita]

Anita smile and gave an embarrassed smile. ”Sorry,” she said, understanding that probably everyone asked this when they found out.

Hayden still humored her enough, and he was spot on. Even with the she knew more than she let on. She finished her sandwich and water. ”Sometimes, I know what’s going to happen right before it does. Thought nothing of it until the whole thing with Rachel happened. It usually happened at work and thought it was a sort of intuition. But there - the guy she was with grabbed the detective. I knew he was going to, because I she flinched a little, hoping she didn’t think he was crazy. ”I saw him do it. Right before he did. I don’t know anything about fighting - not reading any subtle cues there.”

Anita began to move towards him. She pressed her back against him, and took his hands, wrapping them around her waist. ”I have strange dreams too. So vivid. Most of them I don’t understand, but sometimes. Sometimes I see them come true. I can’t control it. It just happens. It’s…amazing and kind of scary at the same time.” she gave a nervous chuckle. ”I hope you don’t think I’m crazy because it’s true.”

[Hayden]

Hayden chuckled. "See people talk to me." He wrapped his arms around her and pressed a kiss to the side of her neck. This was probably going to lead somewhere else. "I don't think you are crazy. But even if I did I deal in crazy, it's my job." And he didn't mean the bartender shrink bit he played at. That is what the Atharim did, and that was his primary function in the safe house.

"Sounds like you are a prophet. Don't go getting all big headed, it's just a phrase used for people who see things they shouldn't. I got all sorts of crazy in my life. Got a few girls who can speak to wolves. Got several female channelers. An unemotional former male channeler who is the reason I'm here in the first place. My cousin many times removed who hunts all these new friends of mine down. And those kids I referenced earlier in the night were all slaves to cannibals who made them bring them dinner. So crazy is par for course here." He meant himself not Moscow, just his fucking life.

He liked the way she felt against him, things were definitely feeling as good as they had earlier. "I'm feeling a little more energetic." He kissed the side of her neck and sucked on it but didn't leave a mark. "Did you see this coming?" He spun her around and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hard and passionatly. Round two was definitely in his cards.

[Anita]

She smiled when he said people talk to him. ”Well you’re easy to… she trailed off as he kissed the side of her neck and a moan escaped her lips.

So she was a prophet. That made sense at least even if she had no idea how to use it. Her dreams were usually vague or so wrapped in symbols and people she didn’t know that she didn’t know what to do with them. He described so many things. Seemed like his other job kept him busy. Wolves, channelers, hunters, and cannibals and now a prophet had walked into his life. The guy seemed to attract the supernatural. But her thoughts were interrupted by his touch and her desire was stoked.

He turned her around and kissed her. ”Don’t need my gift to tell me we’re going back to the bedroom and you’re going to fuck the hell out of me,” she returned his kiss with equal passion and whispered in his ear. ”Dont be gentle with me. Because I’m sure as hell not going to be gentle with you.”

She grabbed his hand and pulled him to the bedroom. She pulled his towel away and pushed him onto the bed before pulling her clothes off and joining him. Round two had begun.

[Hayden]

Round two was much different than round one had been. There was a certain amount of hunger this go around, a bit more hands on and definitely wasn't the sweet gentleness of their first time. And Hayden was game for all of it. There were limits, of course, but Hayden had yet to find anyone who pushed those boundaries. Thankfully, Nox got his kicks elsewhere when he needed that.

As he lie next to Anita panting from the rigors of round two, he chuckled to himself. "I did not expect a meeting with my brother to end in great sex." Hayden rolled towards her, eyes half lidded and a bit yawny. "You wore me out. Feel free to stay as long as you like. There might be breakfast in the morning, and if I don't have it I know this great little place, though it's full of children first thing."
