Possibilities {Invite}

[King Vegas]

His Majesty made his way through the corridors of the Tower...A few days before the Blood Bath Pay Per View showcase. A show that was sure to be quite the spectacle and then some merely because of the make up each match type scheduled for that night...But...On this night his mind was on something else...Or...Someone else perhaps? Within a few minutes of leaving his suite, he was mere feet from the suite of the person in question...The two of them had encountered one another a few times before, pushing the boundaries of just what the two of them...Had? Or were teetering on the verge OF having perhaps...No matter he thought, as he stood a few feet from the suite of the young woman in question...Dayna Mariano. Raising his hand slightly and placing a firm knock upon the door as his eyes surveyed the surrounding area awaiting the answer to this call he knew the both of them were anticipating...A few moments passed and as he stood with his eyes down cast towards the floor before him, his ears caught wind of the doorknob on the other side of the door being turned, and within seconds the door had begun to open...Oh this would certainly be interesting to say the least...

[dayna]

Opening the door Dayna stood in her pj's really. Pink pajama pants with a lime green T-shirt. Her hair was still wet from the shower she had just took. The look on her face wasn't of shock or surprise. It was the look as if Cross had been late. Even though this wasn't a planned visit. He was late.

You are late Mr. Genovese.

Dayna left the door open and walked back into her room. Heading for the bathroom to finish up her nightly routine for bed. She knew he'd invite himself in. no worries there. It was the nature of this visit that had her thinking. If sex was on his mind, he should have just skipped on down to his dogs room. Dayna was no dog. She wouldn't lay down and take it, just because he flashed power. The power that she had arleady stolen from him. And he didn't even know it.

[King Vegas]

He watched intently as she made her way back towards the bathroom area no doubt, leaving the door ajar for him to enter...And after a quick glance in both directions in the corridor with a smirk on his face, he slowly stepped inside, his eyes quickly scanning the room he now stood in as he pushed the door closed, speaking up as so to make sure Dayna heard his every word...

Late?...Now Ms. Mariano, I didn't know we had an appointment for tonight.

The faint sound of the door shutting could barely be heard as he adjusted his breast coat a bit before proceeding into the living area of Ms. Mariano's suite...His footsteps come to a halt as he places his hands in his pockets, awaiting the woman's return as he speaks once more...

Quite the...Kiss you planted on me out there was it not? I can tell already you're a woman who knows what she wants and knows how and when she should get it. My only questions is Ms. Mariano...What DO you want?

[dayna]

Running a brush through her hair Dayna only shook her head at the words spoken to her by Cross. He wasn't a very quick one now was he. Or he just loved the mind games. Walking into the living area water hitting the floor as she continued to brush her hair.

I thought i answered all your questions in the elevator. And if my memory is correct it was you who kissed me on that ramp Mr. Genovese.

Dayna just smiled at him as she continued to brush her hair.

[King Vegas]

He smiled in her direction, noticing the bright smile on her face as well, before turning and making his way to a nearby couch and slowly allowing for his frame to lower itself onto the piece of furniture as he replied...

Hmm...Perhaps. Perhaps I did Ms. Mariano but...You sure didn't seem like one to attempt to stop my actions now were you? AND...If memory serves ME correctly, you were the one who...How can I put this? Summoned...Me...Out to the ring for that little spectacle in front of Ms. Tosso & Ms. Knight. Tsk Tsk. Shame on you Ms. Mariano, shame on you...

[dayna]

Dayna smiled as she stand on a piano bench across from him. She had a piano and she did play. But now wasn't a time for that. She looked to Cross with those eyes of hers as she continued to brush her hair.

Summoned? Do I have that much control over you now, that I don't even need to speak with you, for you to show yourself?

Dayna paused.

I guess I do...you are here now aren't you. The shame is on you Mr. Genovese, rendered helpless to a woman and by just a kiss.

Dayna shook her head in an all knowing manor. This was just the beginning of their games. She knew this all to well.

[King Vegas]

CLAP CLAP CLAP

...Was the sound heard from His Majesty's hands as he smiled in the young woman's direction, his hands executing a farce of applause... Did she really believe the words escaping those luscious lips of hers? Or was this just another part of this never ending cat and mouse game?

QUITE the performance Ms. Mariano...You should be nominated for an Oscar with such riveting passages fabricated in that pretty little head of yours...Power?...Over yours truly? Surely you cannot be serious Ms. Mariano? Let's not lie to ourselves now sweetie. Perhaps the word "summoned" was used out of context. Though I AM the closest you'll ever be to such a thing...I am not perfect. Now moving on. You and I both know that you were just dying to see King Vegas step out onto that stage in front of Destiny as well as the thousands in attendance. You loved...Every single second of it Ms. Mariano. The look on your face resembled that of euphoria as you could almost feel me make my presence known. I'm quite sure YOU enjoyed that spectacle more than I...Dayna. I could almost feel your body tremble as our lips touched for the second time in as many weeks so...I ask you...Who's under who's control?

[dayna]

Dayna smirked. This was called stage two. Denial. Cross was making progress. but stage two could be tricky. She had to be careful and not bruise the ego.

Of course I enjoyed it. But obviously your enjoyment for it surpassed my own. As you have sought me out. You can hide behind my enjoyment of it and my obvious sexual attaction to you for only so long. You and I both know the real reason you came out there. and it wasn't because you were summoned was it. Was it to make Dez jealous? That was only a part of it. Was it to kiss me again? Again, only a part of it. You came out there, because you need me. You need someone who isn't going to lay down for you. Someone who can match your own wit, if not surpase. Isn't that right Mr. Genovese? You needed to do that knowing, that it would bring you closer to me. At least in the publics eye. Don't think i've forgotten how tightly you pulled me in. And how gently you touched me. You can only hide so long Mr. Genovese.

Dayna smirked as she set the brush down. leaned against her piano.

[King Vegas]

Instant laughter. His Majesty's laughter filled the room as he tilted his head backwards, his eyes focusing on the ceiling above as his mind began to process the words spoken by the beauty only feet from him. Of course he enjoyed it. Why else would he have done it? Did he care WHO saw it? Of course not. The "King" could care less who said or thought what went it pertained to his personal actions. But this was absolutely priceless he thought. The very idea that King Vegas...Needed someone was past outrageous. Possible yes. Plausible? Of course not. Or was it? He merely gazed at the young woman, their eyes meeting once again as he spoke, raising his arms above his head, ultimately ending in his hands being placed behind his head, his fingers intertwined as his dialog continued...

My my my Ms. Mariano...You are VERY...Very entertaining when you speak I must say. King Vegas need you...Need? You do know the meaning of the word yes? Hell...King Vegas "needing" anyone is merely preposterous to even think of. But...Ha Ha...If you're so convinced that I am, I'll ALLOW for you to believe such a thing for now. But that doesn't mean I do not wish to explore the idea a bit further. If I am in fact in need of something, of course I'm sure you know that needs and wants are a two way street...Which means...Either there's something I have that you want...Or desperately...Desperately need. Or perhaps both? From the slip of your tongue during both of our moments of intimate exchange, I can tell of at least ONE thing...You want from King Vegas...Heh Heh...Now...What else?

[dayna]

Dayna only smiled to him as she leaned forward a bit. Her eyes making strong contact with him. More denial, she had underestimated his ego. But you all know how it goes. Big ego small...you get the picture.

Then KING Vegas. Why is it you are here? If you have no need for me? Why allow for me to believe it? Why explore the idea? Why not put an end to it? You can't truely be as heartless as they all say. Or maybe you are. Who is to know. But do tell me. Why are you here since I am no need of yours.

[King Vegas]

I said you were of no NEED Ms. Mariano. I never stated you were out of the range of WANT though now did I? And I can tell you are feeling quite the same. That? You cannot hide.

[dayna]

You are mistaken Cross. Boys want toys, but they need women. I will be no toy. If thats' all you came here for. Dez's suite is three floors down.

[King Vegas]

Boys? Why would you even speak that word Ms. Mariano? I am clearly a man. THE man if you will. If I were not? You wouldn't even have given me the time of day, let alone shoved your tongue half way down my throat either now would you? Now...Are we going to continue this game of cat and mouse? Or are you going to continue to dance around the subject like a school girl while making derogatory comments towards Ms. Knight. Time IS of the essence you know?

[dayna]

Time? You have somewhere to be? You might want to get there then. Shouldn't allow this school girl to waste your precious time. As for dancing around questions you've never giving me the straight answer as to why you are here. Give none recieve none.

Dayna leaned back once again. Quiet the hypocrite. This game would continue for a while. She might as well make herself comfy. Or better yet. Dayna turned lifted the key cover on the piano and began to play Cannon by Pachabel. If he wished to squable like a child more she would at least enjoy herself while she endured him.

[King Vegas]

Oh this was cute. Priceless even. He had pushed just the right buttons and received the exact reaction he knew he would. Women were predictable to no extent. Something they can't seem to handle or grasp fully as they'd wish to? They pout and throw fits of course. Or just simply make attempts to demean you or ignite anger within the opposite party. He smiled once again, watching as she turned her back to him continuing on with her impromptu concert if you will. Letting out a long drawn out sigh, he stands from his place of seating, removing his breast coat as he tosses it onto the couch he had occupied moments ago. His footsteps carry him across the room, in her direction and within moments he was standing less than one foot behind her as her eyes remained down cast towards the instrument, her fingers all the while continuing their actions as he nodded his head soaking in the notes she played before him...Serenade anyone? Then he spoke just audible enough for her to catch wind of...

I see now Ms. Mariano. I see...You wish for Cross Genovese, to...."Chase" after you. Mimicking your every movement and step as I make attempt after attempt to chisel even the smallest amount of that dry ice from around that heart of yours, all the while you enjoy the thrill of being chased along...I think that would sum up what you're really wanting right now wouldn't it? Hmm?

He makes his way to the bench she sat upon, slowly lowering his frame onto the piece of furniture as he continued to listen to her playing continuously. He spoke once more...

Ms. Mariano, if you were "listening" to my words instead of just "hearing" them, you'd know that my point of view as well as my objective in all of this has BEEN stated...And it shan't be again. Which brings us to the point where you yourself state your business with Cross Genovese. Power hungry? Money? Fame? What drives you Dayna? There's a reason I'm here. I know why I'm here but...Why are you allowing for me to be here? Perhaps you see yourself as a potential..."Queen" to my "King"? Now...Ha Ha...Isn't that cute. Reminds me of puppy love school girl crushes.

[dayna]

Dayna only smirks as she continues to play. Moving into a much slower piece.

Is that so Mr. Genovese. Then if you were listening instead of hearing you would know the door is that way. School girl puppy love? I am insulted you would compare me to your dog. I've told you before what I desire. Thats power. I told you in the elevator, how easily you have forgotten. Also I could care less if you wish to chase me Mr. Genovese. If you are worth my time, you will make yourself so. I have no doubt. But until you make yourself worth my time. The door is that way.

Dayna motioned with her head. He had wasted her time long enough. She would not sit here and allow him to compare her to that tramp. Their were other in this company who would be worth her time. The power may not be as great, but she would not have to listen to someone belittle her and compare her to a dog.

[King Vegas]

IF I am worth your time you say? Is that so? And what other options are there out there for you Ms. Mariano? Hmm? Who else could handle a woman such as yourself as I? No one. You and I both know that to be fact. And of course that ideology goes both ways I will admit. And I see no reason to "make" myself worthy of your time either Ms. Mariano. Because in all fairness concerning your comments tonight since my arrival? I already have. Every "King" is in need and wanting of a "Queen". A mirror image if you will. Someone to counteract and react accordingly to their actions and aspirations. That is the sole reason we are even seated here having this discussion.

He extends his hands towards hers, making sure to halt the further advancements of the closest one, the chosen musical piece partly subsiding as he does so. She was pretty much forced to make eye contact with him then, though not the most welcome look, it was still eye contact as he spoke, his facial expression wavering not in the least, making sure to keep that eye contact which he had gained at least momentarily...

Ms. Mariano, we've both proven we know how to..."Play the game" have we not? Very well as a matter of fact. I do believe it's time to place the childish games aside.

He then allows for his frame to move a few inches closer to the young woman. Pushing it was he? Perhaps...Perhaps...But there was only one true tactic to gage just how far this potential...Union? Could excel in future days...Though...He knew that the chances of her "coming around" at this moment in time were slim to none. Wouldn't stop him from trying though and if she did in fact reject his advance? Well...Of course he'd have a back up plan for her concerning that at a later date and time. Now only inches from her once again, teetering on a possible kiss again as he spoke...

Wouldn't you agree...Dayna?

[dayna]

Dayna turned her head away from him. She returned to the piano and just played an octave down. It didn't sound right, but since he made sure his hand was blocking the octave she wished to play in, this would have to do. He thought he was so good. She could tell in his voice, how his ego grew by the minute.

Life is a game Cross, no matter how childish you may think it is. You either play, or get played. And yet you still insist on making me your toy. If every King does need such a queen, you are going about this the entirely wrong way. Unless that was just a statement you made to wet my appetite for power, but in fact you only wish to see me as your concubine.

Dayna smiled as she began to play Minuet by Bach in the lower octave. It sounded quiet depressing reguardless of its up beat tempo.

[King Vegas]

Concubine? Now why would I attempt such a thing with the plethora of women at my disposal Ms. Mariano? Who's playing games now Dayna? I made the advance and made known what I wished to accomplish with my advancement as well just a moment ago...Heh Heh...Yet...I am the one playing games. I find that interesting. Riveting even...

[dayna]

Dayna turned and wrapped her arms around Cross's face. Again catching him off guard is yet another one of their kisses. Her hands roamed up his thigh to his belt line. Where the rested and toyed a bit. Once again she bit his lip. This time drawing blood. breaking away from him and the kiss. She returned to the piano and began to play where she left off.

The door is that way Mr. Genovese.
