After disarming a primitive security system the two let them selves into the building. Each store might have their own system but they would deal with that as they went. First task was clothing which was easy enough. They found a store with both men's and women's clothing so they didn't have to split up too much to accomplish their goal. Women's clothes were the first thing they ran into and Eve was quick to find something comfortable in her size. To say he was surprised when Eve jerked off the v-neck shirt she'd been wearing without warning was putting it lightly. The white bra she wore beneath had been stained with blood and become more or less see through.
Mouth suddenly dry he watched her not realizing Eve had caught him staring until she stopped moving, her head tipped to the side and curiosity written across her features. Clearing his throat David lifted his eyes to her face trying to think of anything other than hard nipples or the slight heaviness of her breasts, the urge to cup his hands around those breasts to see if they felt as heavy as he thought. Shifting uncomfortably on his feet he wasn't sure how to save himself. Eve hadn't been as filled out the last time he'd seen her and he found he appreciated her fuller figure more and more.
"You find me attractive," a statement, not a question as she could clearly hear his heart rate as well as spot the dilation of his eyes even in the dimly light area they were in. Eve thought about this for a moment as she looked at him. It had never crossed her mind that he might find her attractive, he must have seen so many other females in his years and she was a child in comparison.
David cleared his throat again, "Yes. I do. I wasn't expecting you to undress so suddenly or I would have turned away."
With a shake of her head she turned from him and undid the ruined bra she was wearing, "You've had to have seen females naked before. I'm not different from them am I?"
Oh heaven help him. Rubbing the back of his neck he couldn't stop his eyes from devouring the expanse of her back, "Every woman is different." The back dimples just above the low riding jeans she wore begged for his fingers. Suddenly he was doubting the wisdom of this decision, perhaps bringing Eve into the coven was a bad idea if he couldn't get himself under control. He was too old for this sort of thing, but his body disagreed and insisted on reminding him it had been more than a little while since he'd been with a woman.
"I...I'm going to go find something for myself to change into," he said finally not sure what else to say as he watched her long dark hair swing over her shoulder and cascade across her bare back as she moved to pick up the top she'd picked out. A deep red colored material that would look good against her pale skin and dark hair. David had to pull himself away, he needed clothing just as much as she did and if he continued to stand there he might not leave her alone.
His foot steps told her he was gone and after pulling the shirt she'd found over her head she wondered why he found her attractive? What was it about her features that drew him? She knew she was attracted to him, the curl of his lighter brown hair and the fullness of his lower lip but it was more than that. It was the kindness he'd shown her when they'd first met, the protection he'd given her in a time when she hadn't been sure of her own abilities. David had been her first true interaction with others of her kind and she'd never forget the way he'd made her feel like a real being instead of just subject 2.
With a sigh she found herself a pair of jeans which she pulled on after she tore the tags off them. She even went around to the shoes and found a pair of plain black boots in her size before she decided to move towards the men's clothing to see where David had gotten off to. To her disappointment he was pulling his own boots back on by the time she found him.
As he straightened David gave Eve a brief smile, "Do you need anything else here? I have a contact outside the coven, we can pay him a visit to resupply before we head out to the coven house."
She shook her head, "No. Let's go then."
After breaking into an old burgundy Buick they were on their way without much said between them. Eve had her attention on the surroundings as they drove and David wasn't sure what to say to her. He felt awkward at the moment. He was attracted to her, he'd suspected as much before but now he had no doubt in his mind. He wanted Eve, for more than just the physical pleasure, but that in addition to her mind and the way she looked at the world so differently. It was a struggle to put all that together in a way that didn't come out with a creepy vibe to it.
"This contact is a human, while he has a hand in a lot of black market deals he wouldn't have loyalty to anyone but himself. He owns a club that should still be open at this hour but even if it isn't we can still drop in," he said with a grin.
Eve nodded her head as she turned away from the window, "This should be interesting. I've never been to a club before."
Surprised he arched a brow at her, "You were working in a bar, they aren't much different. The music might be louder but they may be wrapping up for the night, I have no idea how late such things run usually."
She thought about that for a moment and then nodded her head, "True. Could still be interesting." Anything that was an opportunity to learn more about interactions between people was interesting to her so it didn't take much. Learning things from a book was quick and she knew a lot of things but people were a little harder. There always seemed to be some exception to the rules she'd thought she'd figured out, the ways people lived or accounted for themselves changed.
A block away they could both pick up the music, "It would appear they are still open to the public." She glanced over at David as he navigated the street and finally parked the car.
"I know you are more than capable of handling yourself but for my own peace of mind, stay close, please," he said with his hand on the door handle.
Eve had been about to get out when she paused to look at him as she considered his request. Finally she nodded her head and got out, the night breeze blowing her hair across her face for a moment. Before she reached the front of the car David was beside her so that when they reached the club, music throbbing in the air around them, there would be no mistake if someone looked at them, they had come together. David pressed close to her shoulder as they were stopped at the door and gave the bouncer a look, "We're here for Darren, tell him David of the East is here."
They received an skeptical look from the bald man blocking their path but he keyed the little ear piece he had all the same, speaking into the lapel of the blazer he wore. There was silence at first and then both immortals could hear the response from the voice on the other end, let them through. Darren will see them. Surprised the man looked them over and jerked his lingering eyes away from Eve when a soft growl of warn escaped David, "Alright, keep cool man. Go on in, his office is across the dance floor."
Moving together they entered the club, the music hitting them harder as they cleared the entry way. Eve paused for a moment causing David to press against her back, a hand moving to grip her right arm as he mouth moved to her ear, "Are you ok?" She nodded her head, it was a lot to take in at first. With such keen senses this was a bit of an overload and took a moment to adjust to.
Finally she started moving deeper into the mass of moving bodies and soon found herself pressed even closer to David who hadn't released his grip on her. A couple grinding against each other moved into their path and for a moment they had to stop. David again lowered his mouth close to her ear to say, "We just have to get across the room, Darren has an office upstairs."
Leaning her head back, turning just slightly so he'd hear her Eve found her skin against his, the slight stubble on his chin tickling her cheek. For a moment she forgot what she was going to say but reminded herself quickly, "There's more people than I thought there would be." All the while they were the only still ones in the waves of people moving around them.
David looked down at Eve as she tipped her head back and had to resist the urge to kiss her. Now wasn't the time but it was hard not to give in, on the heels of seeing her nearly naked he struggled to remember what they were doing here. If it weren't for the loud music David might have let himself get lost in the moment, but as it was they couldn't ignore the pulsing music or the press of bodies close to them.
Holding her close David stated moving again, not realizing at first that to get through the bodies he'd started swaying to the music which seemed to be helping them move a little more fluidly through. With her in front of him he'd kept his hand on her upper arm while his other hand subconsciously moved to her hip to hold her against him. He found himself smiling when Eve moved with him, swayed in time with him. She'd been a little stiff at first but the further they got the more relaxed she was against him.
Eve wasn't sure why her body felt the urge to move but she didn't stop herself after her initial resistance to the situation. She was keenly aware of the hand on her hip and the way the rest of her body seemed to be responding to the touch. David pressed close to her made her aware of the rhythm he was trying to keep so she moved with him, it was awkward otherwise and honestly the feel of his body against hers was pleasant.
Unfortunately, the room was much smaller than she would have liked and once they'd stopped fighting the flow of the dancers they'd moved through fairly quickly. Reaching the other side of the room David was reluctant to release her but he made himself step away. "Don't take anything Darren says seriously. He thinks he knows everything."
Eve arched a dark brow, "I doubt he knows everything, humans don't tend to know much of anything in my experience." The comment made David chuckle, a grin curving his full lips in a way that made her want to make him smile more. Shaking herself out of the train of thought she followed him up the stairs he'd started up, hopefully this Darren would have whatever David needed from him and they could move on from here. The music was hurting her head.
