Riley rolled her eyes. This was getting boring and she had other things she wanted to do. She studied her situation. He was bigger, stronger, and had probably being taught how to fight. The odds were not in Riley's favor here. Then, like lighting, an idea struck. Hoping it would work like it did in the movies Riley looked deep into Joren's eyes. She smiled.
"No? You're not going to let me go? You might regret it later," Riley stated.
"I doubt it," Joren said his eyes drawn to her lips.
"You sure?" Riley inquired softly as she placed her free hand on his muscular chest. By all things good and evil I hope this works…otherwise I'm in for some pain, Riley thought. Joren nodded as an answer to her question. He let Riley push him into the shadows. He grinned and Riley knew he had no idea what she had planned to do. What it was was simple really. But this guy wouldn't expect simple, he wouldn't expect all that Riley was fully capable of doing.
Riley smiled and kissed Joren. She felt his lips crack into a smile. He began to kiss her back and Riley was a little shocked to find that he wasn't horrible at it like she had thought him to be. She opened her mouth to let his wandering tongue into her mouth. At first she began to regret what she had planned to do. Riley had planned to get him distracted for a moment so she could just knee him where it would hurt the most and then just run off. Now she was having second thoughts. The kiss felt good and she allowed herself to fall into it and enjoy it. She couldn't believe that he wasn't trying to take advantage of her yet. Riley knew from girls from her school that usually the guy would be all over you now. He'd be running his hands under her shirt, or giving her hickies, but Joren wasn't. He seemed to be happy just doing what they were.
In a far corner of her mind Riley remembered he friends waiting for her back at the table. Slowly she pulled away from Joren and noticed he didn't look as mean and…well scary as he had before.
"I…I have to go get something…"Riley said nervously. She had enjoyed the past few moments but wasn't o sure if that was good or not.
"Hey," Joren called out to her as she began to turn away again. She felt his hand latch onto her wrist yet again.
"Look if you think grabbing me by the wrist is going to get you another…" Riley was cut of as Joren pulled her into another kiss. I shouldn't be doing this, I just met him and… Riley shoved those thoughts out of her mind. How could someone who could be this gentle and tender be so bad?
"Met me back here, later," Joren said softly as he pulled away. Riley looked at him and to he minds disapproval she was nodding. Slowly she turned and began to walk back towards her room.
*_*_*_*_
Joren turned back towards the main hall and began to walk slowly, very slowly. He was confused by this girl. Shit he didn't even know her name. All he knew was he would follow her out of the main hall and maybe have some fun with her, but when she kissed him everything changed. She made him want to be a better person and they had hardly held a conversation at all. He entered the main hall again and began to think the whole thing over. He couldn't believe he had told her to meet him later. This wasn't like him at all.
*_*_*_*_*
Riley entered the main hall with her bright blue backpack slung over one shoulder. She noticed the look that Numair was giving her but she paid no attention to him. As she walked over to her table she noticed Joren sitting with his friends. They were all talking and laughing but Joren looked up as Riley passed. She smiled and winked before she sat down next to Neal. She plopped the backpack down on the table grinning.
"Now this," She said as she unzipped her bag and pulled something out. "It a CD player."
