Who: Riley and Tao
What: an unexpected visit
Where: Tao's office

Tao had not gotten a lot of sleep. Thankfully, he did not need a lot. He'd cleaned meticulously of course, then sat on the phone all night. His source did not like to have any suspicion on them that they even liked vampires let alone were indebted to one. So a late night phone call was pushing things. Unfortunately, he did not have a lot of time to placate her. After explaining the problem, and promising this was a final favor she had relented and headed out to the church in the morning. He had laid in bed, no not a coffin, and stared at the ceiling. Usually a good couple of hours in the room, even if it didn't last as long as he would like, were relaxing. He'd instead found he let his guard down more then he anticipated and the shifter had garnered more respect then he had previously expected to give. Worse yet, he wasn't all that sure the rule of keeping things in the room would stick, as they had finished out negotiations inside.

That was upsetting as well. He'd had no problem taking out tribute. He had purposefully given the new leader the information to see how he would deal with it. Seeing if he would reach for that small bit of power, or even more. It would be telling on his position as leader and give Tao some weak points to use. Still, he had planned on enjoying the negotiations. There was nothing like riling up a shifter. Even the idiot power hungry ones.

Deciding sleep wasn't coming he'd headed into work, checking over inventories, new information and new hires. The club was doing well, they had a steady stream of regulars as well as those coming for the thrill of seeing a vampire. He drew up the new treaty and even slipped in a clause regarding collars to see if it would be noticed. The phone call from his plant came early and she had information. Not that it was good, she promised to stay on it. He explained it wasn't necessary, but she felt obligated. If only to spare the pack and vampires more problems.

He accepted a glass of blood to drink, from a blood bank few knew he owned and sat back to rest. Riley should be calling soon so he could pass on the information. The phone call, Tao mused, would be short and to the point. The shifter did not seem to enjoy talking to him much. The thought made his mouth twitch and he almost chuckled to himself.

Riley met those dark eyes and smiled just a little bit wider. He already had, he wanted to say, and he would do it again if Tao asked. But he had already promised not to let things leave that room, hadn't he? He couldn't break that promise so soon. "I might." He said in an airy tone, and rose up a little in the seat to grab the pen away from Tao. He also reached out for the contracts and pulled them back towards him on the desk. He looked down at the contracts and flipped them both through to the page where he was to sign. He let out a soft hum and then stabbed his right index finger with the pen. Blood welled up almost immediately. He extended his hand to the contracts and pressed two bright red streaks of blood down, one for each signing line. The blood dried fairly quickly and he used the pen to scrawl an X over each streak. "There." He murmured, and sat back in the chair.

Tao narrowed his eyes but let go of the pen. Standing up to grab another pen and sign himself he paused and reached into his pocket for a cell phone. A glance to the number then to Riley as he answered. "Yes?"

"No, I don't recommend that. Because there is nothing I can do if there is a problem." He bit off. Waving Riley over her scribbled on a note pad.

She has a chance to meet elders in an undisclosed place tomorrow at 3. Off church grounds.

The spell was gone the instant that Tao answered his cell phone. Riley sat up a little straighter in his chair and listened intently as Tao spoke. He rose and rounded the desk once more, standing behind the vampire with his eyebrows furrowed to read what he had written. His eyes widened a little when he realized what was going on and he quickly placed a hand on Tao's shoulder. He raised his eyebrows in an exaggerated "your choice" sort of look, and then bent over to snatch the pen away once more.

If they torture her, will she crack?

Tao fisted the pen in his hand, breaking it in pieces. "Against a dozen or more, no you can not." he looked to Riley and shook his head. He knew she'd never crack, but that also meant she would likely get herself killed. Dropping the broken pen he grabbed a pencil and added to the paper.

She doesn't know of your people being involved

"I'll need to meet with you tonight then. Public."

	Riley let out a small whuf of air that raised the hair on the side of Tao's head. He reached down and took the pencil to scrawl a large, 'I'm coming with you' down on the paper. He was, quite frankly, sick of waiting on the sidelines. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Barely supressing a growl, he knew arguing would get him nowhere. "I will meet you then. I won't be alone." Flipping the phone closed he rounded on Riley. "You will behave." He warned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Riley's lips parted into a humorless grin. "I will behave, I promise." He said, and slowly padded around the desk. He unbuttoned the front of his shirt and pulled it off, then began to shift, leaping out of the jeans and leaving them in a pile. What he had shifted into, however, was not the undoubtedly expected golden wolf but instead a medium-sized yellow Labrador dog. Riley turned around in a circle and then trotted around the desk to sit about two feet in front of Tao, his tail beating against the floor.

Tao gave a small hum, showing his doubt. He had a feeling that his idea of behaving and Riley's were not always the same. Watching the shift, his brows rose. "I hope you don't think you look any less troublesome in that form." Reaching for the contracts he quickly signed them both and placed one in his drawer. "We have a few hours so I should warn you, Marie is Jeanne's twin." He walked around the desk and shook his head at the 'puppy eyes'. "Well then, did you have suggestion to pass the time?"

Riley let out a high bark and rose to his feet. He shifted once more and when he had returned to his human form he was crouched on the floor, his hair just brushing over his eyes. He pushed it back and then rose to his feet. He remained silent for a moment, just looking at Tao, shoulders tense, his eyes appraising. After that moment had gone he took a half step away from the vampire, giving an uncomfortable shrug of his shoulders as he looked away and found a particularly interesting bit of wall to stare at.

"I haven't been able to forget." He said finally, and glanced back to Tao. "About- it keeps coming back to me."

	If he had needed to breath, he would have held his breathe. He realized this was at the very least difficult for him, so kept his distance. Kept his voice neutral. "Yet you came rather than called. Are you here to prove something or to ask something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Riley frowned at Tao, "Does everything always have to be so cryptic?" He said with a sigh, and then looked up at the ceiling. He kicked a little at the carpet under his foot, scuffing the tips of his toes in the process. He pulled his upper lip between his teeth and then turned to square his shoulders towards Tao. "I'm here- I'm- naked." He swallowed. "I want you again."

Tao shook his head. "Not cryptic. You were upset last night, bristling with anger, pain, the need to hurt or be hurt. If that was all you needed, a release, then that was all it needed to be."

He was fully aware of Riley's naked body. Too aware. He was just not about to push his own cravings with a new alliance still sitting on his desk. Tao licked at his bottom lip, "Be sure, little wolf, this is untested territory." It was the last chance he was going to be able to give him to back out.

That look in Tao's eyes, it wouldn't let Riley think of anything except for what had happened in the room. Riley raised a hand to his chest and trailed it down to his left hip. When he spoke, his tone was thoughtful, "I've never been that angry before." He said, "But- I've never been that satisfied, either.." He pressed his lips together in a thin line, "That's why I want- no, I need this." He took a step towards Tao, "I want you to make me pleasure you again, as long as you want and as hard as you want."

	Tao sucked in a long slow breathe. He felt the need to put boundaries up. Rules regarding the ability to walk away, on not expecting more then what happened right now. If only for his own safety. He just couldn't get the words out of his throat. Instead he walked to the door and opened it for him. "You remember the way?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Riley's stony expression relaxed into a smile that was possibly even excited. He kept his head held high as he passed Tao in the doorway. The back of his neck felt charged with an electricity that shuddered down his spine and back up again as he met Tao's eyes briefly and then kept on walking, down the hall until he had found the door to that room. He turned, placed the flat of his palm to the door, turned the knob with his other hand, and kept eye contact with the vampire until, finally, he disappeared inside the room.

"I was curious about the tub," He admitted once Tao had joined him inside. The room was as he remembered it and as it had appeared in his dark dreams, enormous and open, with new and interesting things on every square inch of the walls. "Though, I don't like baths."

He gave himself a moment before following him down the hall. He gave a small nod when they reached the door and stepped silently into the room, closing the door behind. Toeing off his shoes he looked to the tub set into the floor on the other side of the room. With a shrug he undid the buttons of his shirt. "On longer excursions it is helpful. To rinse away the blood, tohelp in healing. There is of course play as well." With q smile he tossed his shirt aside. "Were you expecting something kore like a rose scented bubble bath?"

"Of course not." Riley replied with a soft snort, though his tone was somewhat confused as his attention was focused on Tao's hands as they unbuttoned his shirt. He licked his upper lip and swallowed once the shirt had been removed, and his eyes flicked up to Tao's once again. "I just thought that it would be interesting." He said faintly. "Since you're so cold, and i'm so hot, but the water could be whatever temperature you wanted.."

	Tao didn't feel the need to stay careful now and walked over to Riley. Reaching up to cup the back of his neck and kiss him. Your heat, almost scalds. If you would like, I can show you. The bath. Playing in water isn't nearly as hard. It's, slower." he didn't remove his hand, speaking against his skin as he kissed and nipped along his jaw, his face. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Riley kissed the vampire back, slow and strong, until Tao began to press the kisses elsewhere - and then there were the teeth. He reached out a hand and pressed it to Tao's stomach. The vampire's skin was immediately cool to the touch. "Then show me." Riley replied, tilting his head away from Tao to give him more access to his jaw. "Let's play."

It was the heat that he missed the most, when he allowed himself to. He could do without the sun, and had learned to let go of family or any idea of family, but the loss of heat, constant cold, was the most oppressive. "Hot water then, it will last longer." He ran his tongue along the line of Riley's neck then pulled back and looked him over. "Sit on the edge of the bed while I run the water. I want to watch you touch yourself while I ready it."

The coldness in Tao's skin, in his voice, it reminded Riley of the very, very deepest of the deep woods, that chill, still darkness where he could go and just let himself think. Though, honestly, he wasn't thinking comfortable thoughts in this moment. Just in the heat of the moment, he wanted Tao, and badly. That night they had spent together had stirred up some new restless part of him, and he knew it wouldn't be satisfied by anything but this. "Yes, master." He murmured, feeling a distinct sense of loss once Tao's lips were off of him. Riley let his hand drift down Tao's torso, trailing his palm, finger, and then fingertips until, finally, there was no physical contact between them.

Riley took one step back, and then another and another until he had reached the bed and his calves were bumping into the mattress, unwilling or unable to keep his eyes off of the vampire. He sat with his legs spread, and slipped a hand down his front, wrapping his fingers around his length. All he had to do was look at the restraints at the foot of the bed and his body began to ache in response. It wouldn't be hard to touch himself for Tao, he was almost aching for it already.

Tao didn't move until Riley was seated. His eyes drifting down to watch him. He'd never get tired of watching him. There was no hesitation in his movements. He knew his layout well enough to move to the bath without having to pull his eyes away. He looked away only for a moment to set the water on and add a few things. Herbs mostly used to soothe sore muscles, hopefully necessary later. Sitting on the edge of the bath he kept a hand on the edge to realize when water hit near the top. "Lean back."

The East Pack's settlement did have running water, but only for crops and for drinking. For bathing they had the river and so Riley could say easily that he had never been in a tub like that. Maybe he'd been washed in a bucket or a laundry basket when he was very, very young, but mostly it was cleaning in rivers. His nose twitched at the scent of strange things in the air, he had a very sensitive sense of smell, and so every new thing that Tao added to the water was another layer for him to experience. At the vampire's command, Riley rolled back on the bed, propping himself up on one elbow, the other hand preoccupied with stroking down and up his already half-hard cock.

As much as he enjoyed watching, he wanted to feel him, taste him. The moment he felt the water hit the tips of his fingers he raised his hand to turn off the flow and stood, undoing his own belt and stepping out of his pants. "Leather, in water can be unpleasant. So we will forgo the strap for now." Walking over to the bed he knealt between his legs. "Hands above your head." He ordered before bracing Riley's thighs with his hands and ducking his head to lick along his balls.

Riley's hips twitched instinctively upwards on the bed as he felt the touch of Tao's tongue on him. He quickly let his hand fall away from his cock when instructed and stretched his arms up above his head, crossing them at his wrists. His toes curled into the sheets and he stared up at the ceiling. His heart was beating faster and faster and he felt even more warm, and so Tao's cool touch was a shock to his senses that caused his skin to shiver. "No need for a strap," He groaned, "I'll be good for you, master."
