Sage laughed, “You’re right, I did come alone. Perhaps I can convince you to take ME home with you when you leave the party?” Then she made a sound in her throat like a cat purring and stepped closer. One hand rose to smooth over the cloth of his shiny jacket over is chest area. Her voice lost the ‘I’m just a stranger here’ tone, but not the flirtatiousness. “Babe, you look GOOD! Mmm mmmm”

—Sage

“Well,” Calvin scanned her body, the exposed bits of skin that were surgical in both being provocative but yet not too revealing. It was a whisper of sexiness that led a man’s fantasy without going anywhere. “I don’t have to look around that there is no one I’d rather be with.”

He then picked up his head. “But I can’t imagine that there isn’t one man.. or woman who wouldn’t be annoyed that I have all of your attention.”

Marius

OOC: Now who missed their cue

OOPS!!!

Sage laughed as she leaned in for a kiss. “Well, I think your opinion is biased, but thanks, Babe.” With her arm now around Calvin’s waist, she turned to look out on all the people gathered and their surroundings. “The ice caves are really beautiful.” She caught a glimpse of Marishka not too far away. “So are most of the men and women in here tonight. But some of them are…stunning.”

—Sage

Marius followed her gaze for a moment locking on Marishka. He nodded slightly, “You say that, because you can’t see yourself right now.” He understood why many found Marishka attractive… she was, but she was more than that.. she was provocative and that was dangerous. And he wasn’t one of the men who liked getting touching a fire to know what it felt to be burned. He had been, and he knew what it felt like.

He rested his hand on her waist, too low to be friendly, too high to be inappropriate. “I’d rather not spend time watching people when I can look at someone much better.”

Marius

Sage grinned. “You always say the perfect thing.” It was a moment of complete happiness for her. Leaning her head against Calvin’s chest, Sage took a deep breath and just let the feeling wash over her. “Well, I guess we should mingle some before we steal away. Don’t you think?” It had been a few days since she’d spoken with Riley and the party seemed like a nice place to catch up with her best friend. Besides, David was there too and she liked him a lot. However, knowing that socializing wasn’t Cal’s favorite thing, Sage was hoping he’d take the lead so they could stay together for a little while before duties called them apart.

—Sage

Calvin grunted in a more positive tone, “Its fine by me, I enjoy looking at you from a distance too. Makes me feel lucky… and tingly…” Not comprehending that she intended to drag him along with her as she socialized. He smiled for a moment and then frowned. “Don’t tell anyone.” the tone lack any semblance of amusement.

He pulled a cigar from his jacket pocket. If she was going to socialized that meant he could smoke his cigar without offending anyone.

Her smile faltered. “Wait…aren’t you coming with me?” How had she fallen in love with a man who was so unsociable? Most of the time it didn’t make any difference so she didn’t think about it that often—only when there was a party. “C’mon, Babe…let’s go visit together and show the crew that you are approachable at these things.” She leaned her body into his, pressing her assets against his blue suit and looking up at him with her emerald colored eyes. “Please?”

—Sage

Calvin growled as he smiled… his sub-conscious lack of interest in socialization being covered… poorly… by his thin smile. “They can approach me… I don’t scare Ben or Tigeress…” He didn’t know why he didn’t scare them, but they seemed to be unflappable.

His smile started to become more genuine as she pressed in close. “Mmm. hmmm” He looked about but made no effort to move away. “Is there someone in particular you want to speak to?” He knew it was going to be Riley and if it was Riley that meant David was probably included. Riley he could tolerate… in fact he liked as much as he like someone he didn’t drink with… David on the other hand....

XO

He wasn’t fooling her. He knew exactly who she wanted to go spend some time with—Riley. And if they were off duty, that usually meant David would be there too. “Cal, you know I like to mingle. Let’s go talk to Riley and Marishka, okay?” She tried to sweeten the deal with the promise of speaking to the half Klingon/Orion, who most of the men on the ship were infatuated with.

He glanced over as she spoke… there was no David in sight for now… “Mmm hmm.” He didn’t sound quite as convinced as she would have liked.

“If you play the part of an interested husband tonight who accompanies his wife to greet friends and acquaintances, I’ll…well, I’ll do whatever you want to later, even if its to leave the celebration early.”

—Sage

“Mmm?” There was a distinct difference to the tone of that mm… it was both more questioning and huskier. “Promises promises.” He took a deep breath and put a smile on his face. He put his cut cigar back into his pocket.

“Lets go be friendly… but if David shows up and is a pain in my a$$… you’re going to have to kiss it better .”
