"Fuck me," Asa swore beneath her breath, slouched slightly in her chair as she thrust her leg up and into the air, extending it as far as it would reach. "I feel so fucking tight tonight," she complained.
Laughing as he passed her by, Monroe was slow to shake his head as he stopped to check his appearance in the dressing room's mirror, hovering over the anxious young beauties shoulder. "How many times had I asked you to limber up with me?" he started in on her, a beautiful bit of a smirk curling up the corner of his darkly painted lips. "You knew this was coming up, they gave us plenty of time--,"
"I know I know..." she said, lowering her leg to fold comfortably in the chair. "There was just this party and this guy..."
"There will always be some party and some guy," commented Cidy as she eased her way between the two, lifting up a lace gloved hand to give a gentle squeeze to Monroe's shoulder. "And shouldn't you be meditating?" she asked, a light brow curiously arched as her brilliant sea-green hues met and reflected against Monroe's mirrored lenses. "You need to make sure your heart rate is steady and calm before going in and going under," she insist, lifting her fingers to caress his cheek. "We worry about you, ya know?" she said with a bit of a forced laugh. "You're the most delicate of us all."
Returning the heart-felt gesture, Monroe leaned in to the lovely pixie of a girl that still stood between himself and Asa, his dark lips brushing her cheek, just scarcely missing her lips and leaving only the most faint of a kisses mark in their wake. "Of course," he said simply, lifting a hand to push back what strands of black and red that had fallen into his sights and over his shoulder. "But then, I'm always the most calm of us all, am I not?"
Asa smiled as she lift her eyes to watch his reflection in the mirror, catching him as he winked at her before turning from them both.
Crossing the way of the small floor and pushing back the make-shift curtain of costumes and other assorted accessories as he ducked beneath the bar to make his way into the small room that lay beyond. No more than five by five in width and length, a second closet turned space for meditation and reflection, a good many candles already alight as Monroe took to lighting a few more as well as a stick of incense or two. Lowering himself down towards the floor, he folded his legs beneath him as he smoothed the fine, mesh fabric that he wore with the palm of his hand, minding not to mess its purity with whatever dirt that lay about the floor of the space. It was crucial, after all, that he remain clean, sanitary even, before he would go on. It was a critical part in the role that he was to play. Taking a deep breath, he allowed the tips of his fingers to trail up the length of his covered thighs and up and over the ivory colored leather and brass buckles that made up the bodice that just lightly hugged his petite middle. Hardly a restriction to his person, though it wouldn't be there for long.
Suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he cursed himself for allowing it. So casually the both of them had spoke of it, referring to the act as nothing more than mere 'practice' between the two, even though they knew--they could feel--that it was so much more than that.
Breathing in through his nose, Monroe was slow to close his eyes as he allowed the scent of the melting wax and the incense to overpower him, intoxicating him, mind and body. His slight physique shivered beneath the cloth of what it was that he wore, his pale skin goose-pimpling at the base of his neck and about his breast as he could feel his heart rate increase by leaps and bounds. He was loosing all empowerment, bearing no sense of control. And though aware that it was something that he could not risk, not so close to show time, even still, he couldn't seem to help himself as he could feel himself growing erect beneath the corseted gown.
How shameful this was as he began to pant and swoon, his head dizzy with the very thought of all that Asa was going to do; over him, on him, to him. It was a glorious thought to say the very least, that nimble nymphet with the cold and callus eyes. Seated in gentle sway, he wondered what it was that she was feeling as she primed and puckered before the mirror, only a matter of steps or strides from where he now was knelt. Did she feel as he felt now? Was she just as excited as he? "What?" he managed to breath, his crimson colored nails gently clawing at his chest, his body set to shaking at the feel of his fingers and the fabric as it rubbing against his eager flesh. More than anything he wanted to know.
"What, what?"
Startled, Monroe gasped as his eyes were quick to open, his mind suddenly cleared in a burst of light. It was like an explosion in his head, the way her voice had shattered through his subconscious, breaking the lovesick trace he'd set upon himself and jerking him back into reality. However, sweet as his thoughts might have been, sweeter still was the feel of her gentle arms around him as she pressed her chest to his back, the soft palate of her cheek pressed lightly against his own as her long and fluttering lashes tickled the flesh of his temple. "Tell me," she whispered sweet into his ear, her full lips curled into a mischievous grin.
