Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mael smiled. "I am quite good aren't I?"

Ally nodded. "The absolute best."

Mael laughed. "Thank you, love."

Ally kissed him and the opened the parlor door.

~~~~~~

Marius moved back a tiny bit. "Th-that's alright ma'am."

Chamille laughed. "Why so reluctant?"

Marius shook his head. "I-I'm not..."

Chamille smiled. "Alejandro." She glided over and put her arms around him.

Ally smiled. "Hello, gorgeous."

Mael followed him in and sat down in a nearby chair.

Marius watched Ally from where he stood.

Chamille ran a hand down his arm. "I love you in red."

Ally smiled. "I wore it just for you." He looked up, spotted Marius, and froze. The man was absolutely stunning.

When Marius saw Ally staring at him, he quickly looked away.

Chamille laughed at Ally. "Yes, isn't he wonderful. Aldous is going to let me play with him."

Ally pulled his eyes away from Marius. "Oh yes, he is quite the sight. I am sure you will enjoy yourself."

Marius had started blushing again. He turned away to hide his face better.

Ally stroked her hair. "Is this going to change our evening?"

Chamille sighed. "Sadly, Andre would not approve."

Ally nodded. "No, he wouldn't."

Marius listened to their conversation from his spot.

Mael had stared flirting with someone nearby.

Ally kissed her forehead. "Do you want to go now or do you have business you want to finish?"

"I'll find you in a moment, dear." She grabbed Aldous and pulled him off to discuss Marius.

Marius looked at Aldous and Chamille then he looked at Ally again.

Ally gave him a small embarrassed smile.

Marius gave him a very tiny extremely embarrassed smile.

Ally gave him a slightly bigger smile, forcing himself not to rake his eyes over his body, and then went to join Mael.

Mael smiled up at Ally. "Hello, love."

Ally slid his arms around Mael. "Having fun?"

Mael smirked. "Yes."

"Good." He kissed Mael on the cheek. "I'll see you later." He walked over to Marius. "So, the trading has already begun?"

Mael resumed his flirting.

Marius shrugged. "I-I guess so."

Ally gave him a sympathetic smile. "Chamille is not so bad. she will probably be gentle with you."

Marius nodded. "Good to know."

Ally looked at the ground. "You really do look amazing tonight."

Marius blushed yet again. "Thank you..."

Ally kept staring at the floor. "It is the...the blue. It is lovely against your skin."

Marius just shrugged.

Aldous brushed back his hair. "You might make a friend."

Marius sighed. "If you haven't noticed...I'm not real social."

"You should have at least one friend or you'll go crazy."

Marius sighed again. "I don't like to talk to people..."

Aldous smiled. "I'd get you a pet, but it would probably get eaten."

Marius sighed yet again. "I'll be fine."

Alsoud patted his shoulder. "Still, I'm sure there's someone here you'd get along with."

Marius shrugged. "I'm sure."

Aldous caressed his face. "So stubborn. We can fix that."

"You can try."

Aldous smirked. "Anyone can be broken."

Marius rolled his eyes.

Aldous pulled him out of his chair. "Let's meet some people then, shall we?"

Marius tried not to sigh again.

Aldous made sure to introduce Marius to everyone.

Marius had been extremely awkward and nervous to the entire time.

Aldous led Marius back to the room several hours later.

Marius sighed and plopped down in one of the chairs.

Aldous smiled. "You did very well tonight."

"Thank you..."

Aldous sat on the bed. "You will be seeing Chamille tomorrow night."

"O-okay."

"She would have had you tonight but she's busy with Andre and...Alejandro."

~~~~~~

Ally poofed right inside the bedroom and slid against the door down to the floor.

Mael raised an eyebrow at him. "How did it go?"

ally poofed onto the bed. "Sore."

Aldous' eyes narrowed. "Tell me."

Marius shook his head. "There's nothing to tell."

Aldous walked toward him. "I never believe that about people as quiet as you."

Marius pressed himself into the chair. "I-I'm not lying."

Aldous put his hands on the arms of the chair and stared down at him.

~~~~~~

Ally didn't move. "Who or what is it?"

"One of the more 'outgoing' servant girls."

"Have her come over here."

Mael nodded to the girl and she walked over to the edge of the bed closest to Ally.

Ally reached for her hand and bit into her wrist.

Aldous barely let his power out and brushed it against Marius' memories.

Marius tried to shove Ally away from him.

Aldous stopped, but didn't move. "I will let you keep your secrets for now, know this. I can find out anytime I choose."

Marius looked away from him again and basically started sulking.

"Don't look so sad Marius. Especially if you have nothing to hide."

~~~~~~

Ally kissed her wrist. "Thank you. I needed that."

"You're welcome." Ami smiled. "You know I'd do anything for you."

"Perhaps one more favor tonight then."

Ami smiled. "Sure."

"Could you bed Mael for me? I don't think I'm up for it just yet."

"Then go. Have at the kitchens."

Marius got up and headed out.

Aldous waited and then follow him.

Marius tried his best to remember the way to the kitchen.

Aldous was starting to think that this one may be more trouble than he seemed.

~~~~~~

Ally smiled. "We'll see."

Mael crawled onto the bed and started without him.

Ally smiled as he watched.

It wasn't long before both Mael and Ami were naked. Mael looked over at Ally. "Are you sure you don't want to join us?"

"Have your fun love. I'll join in later if I can."

"You could have joined us."

Ally smiled. "And ruin that superb performance?"

"You wouldn't have ruined it."

Ally laughed. "Alright, I didn't want to interrupt it."

Mael laughed. "I suppose that is a good reason."

Ally took Ami's hand and kissed it. "Thank you Ami. You played my part well."

Ami giggled again. "It was no trouble at all."

Ally pressed himself closer. "Hold me. It's okay."

Mael gently slipped his arms around Ally.

Ally kissed slightly, but kept kissing Mael.

Mael eventually pulled back. "Are you sure you want to keep doing this?"

Ally nodded. "Just be careful with me."

Mael smiled. "I will try me best."

Ally pulled him back into the kiss.

Mael deepened their kiss.

Ally brushed his hand through Mael's hair.

Mael sighed and let a hand lightly drift down Ally's back.

"Mmm." Ally's back arched and he kissed Mael harder.

Mael broke the kiss and moved his lips to Ally's neck.

Ally moaned. "Gently."

"Sorry." Mael started a trail of tender kisses down his neck.

Ally sighed. "Yes."

Mael continued his trail down Ally's chest.

Ally moaned softly.

Mael lightly bit the skin on his hip.

Ally let out a yip.

Mael laughed and nipped at his inner thigh.

Ally moaned. "Mael..."

Mael looked up at Ally and raised an eyebrow. "Yes, Alejandro?"

"I love you."

Mael smiled. "I love you, too."
