“I.. Uh.. Y-yes. Thank you…” Roza stumbled over her words, clearly dumbfounded by Aleks’ kindness. The old hotel owner hadn’t expected the handsome suitor to be so friendly to her, if his companion’s behavior was anything to go off of. True, the patron was stunning but Lilith seemed to have a heart made of ice, if she had one at all. Roza quickly found herself favoring the young man, deeming him too good for such a hollow beauty. Pursing her lips slightly, the overinvolved hotel owner watched in silence, curious to see how this interaction would go. From the looks of it, the young beauty was none too pleased. Would Aleks try to placate her? Ignore it? Or perhaps… Even be so daring as to call her on it?
Lilith was on a similar train of thought until Aleks turned to face her. In that moment, all frustration washed away. The dilation of his pupils, the brief hitch in his breath, nothing escaped her keen senses. It was the first time the fox had ever elicited such a carnal reaction out of the man, no matter how slight. Lilith felt a warm tingle run from her neck down her spine, every inch of her tense like a predator watching prey just barely out of reach. He had done well to resist her this long but like every human, it was only a matter of time before he submitted.
Ironically, it was his compliment that brought the harsh edge back to Lilith’s gaze. Reminded of her appearance, the vixen couldn’t help but think about how her hair would have looked better with a little left loose to frame her face and how her shoes were a little too plain for the dress. Still, Lilith must have been doing something right to illicit a compliment like that before he’d even seen the dress. Delighted anticipation caused her pale pink lips to curl into a dangerous looking smile.
“Oh, Aleks, you’re bound to spoil a girl, flattering her like that.” There was a teasing tone to her voice but Aleks either didn’t notice or didn’t care. Pouting slightly, Lilith let it go for now and quietly exited the hotel with him.
Still at her desk, Roza tsked quietly to herself at how things had played out. From her point of view, the gentleman had folded like a house of cards the moment he laid eyes on the frigid beauty. It was disappointing for the old woman to watch such a well-rounded gentleman fall prey to a pretty face like that. Truly, how had such a man found himself tangled up with a vixen like that? Roza couldn’t fathom it. With a disappointed sigh, she clicked on the TV, the primetime shows barely able to grab her attention, let alone stir her enthusiasm.

The villa was already bustling with activity when the duo arrived, much to their dissatisfaction. Aleks let out a quiet explicative, which Lilith internally seconded. The place was overrun with young women, who served no benefit to the kitsune. Growling softly, Lilith realized she never told Aleks only male hearts would work. What a splendid night this is turning out to be…
The dark haired kitsune busied herself with scouting the place, trusting Aleks to guide her by the hand she had hooked on his left arm. She didn’t notice the bouncer inspecting her but was quickly pulled into the moment by the authority she heard in her companion’s voice. Well… that’s certainly new…. Lilith found herself gazing at Aleks in approval when the man foolishly interrupted him. How rude. Now I don’t know my surname. She chuckled internally but Aleks was clearly not amused. Just the sight of him made Lilith lick her lips; she had done well to strike a deal with this one. Perhaps this was why she had so much trouble with him. He was obviously someone who had earned considerable respect and he now expected others to follow suit. Respect was not a commodity Aleks gave out for free, though the fox seriously doubted there was anything the young man was truly charitable with. It was this newfound understanding of the Bratva member that caused Lilith to be uncharacteristically obedient. She moved to the door as commanded, pausing only briefly to watch the rest of the exchange. As she lingered, a woman clearly working for the host approached, “Excuse me ma’am, may I take your coat?”
“Yes, please.” Lilith smiled gently at the girl, who was probably no more than 20. Alyona was, in fact, only 19 years old. A pretty girl with hazel eyes and soft brown hair, she had gotten mixed in with the Bratva far too young to understand the life she was setting up for herself. Years in prostitution and servitude had been hard on the girl, giving her a small, meek presence in such a flashy crowd. Lilith did not have such a problem.
Aleks was just making his way over, so the gold-eyed vixen took her time with the buttons, sliding the heavy coat off her shoulders when he was only a couple meters away. Lilith had always been a fan of luxurious items and as such, this was not Aleks’ first time seeing the fox in expensive clothing. However, this silver and rose gold dress was in a class of its own. The garment cost well over twice the amount of anything she’d worn thus far and it was evident in the details. A diamond studded brassiere, open midriff, and a skirt modeled to look like gold and silver filigree chrysanthemums- she looked both provocative and ethereal. Between the intricacies of the dress and the wealth of exposed porcelain skin, it was nearly impossible to look away from her perfect frame. Even Alyona stared for quite some time, forgetting she was supposed to be doing something with the coat in her arms. Turning to Aleks at last, Lilith let out a seductive smile, unable to hide just how pleased she was with herself. Sometimes, it was just too easy.
“Thank you again for inviting me, Mr. Titov. I believe this young woman is waiting to collect your coat.” Lilith put extra emphasis on his name and the girl suddenly snapped back to reality, blushing furiously when Lilith winked at her, letting Alyona know she’d been caught staring. Dropping her gaze to stare at the ground instead, Alyona was clearly eager to get Aleks’ coat and run but the kumiho wasn’t about to let her go so easily. Tonight was all but guaranteed to be a disappointment in regards to the number of hearts she was promised, might as well have some fun to make up for it. Gently cupping the girl’s chin, Lilith forced pale hazel eyes to stare into hers, the golden orbs smoldering behind thick, dark lashes.
“It’s alright, darling, I don’t mind you looking.” Leaning in close so her breath tickled the girl’s skin she murmured, “Your attraction to me is perfectly natural. But I wonder…” Lilith placed her free hand on Alyona’s thigh, sliding it up and over the girl’s silhouette to rest on her ribcage, just beside her breast, “Is this your first time?” Tightening her grip slightly, Lilith stroked her thumb back and forth just enough to push against the supple flesh teasingly, only to pull away and repeat. The girl’s breath hitched and she was practically trembling in fear but a different emotion was clearly displayed on Alyona’s face. She was hypnotized, though not by any use of magic on Lilith’s end. The young girl could tell she was in the presence of something vast and unknown- was consumed by the mysterious creature before her. It was both frightening and tantalizing. All Lilith had to do was tilt her head to come in for a kiss and the girl relented, closing her eyes and parting her lips slightly. It was always so easy…
