"DAVID OF THE FUCKING EAST!"
Was that a greeting? Eve was a little startled by the blusterous way they had been welcomed in. David was promptly pulled into an awkward hug of sorts by a large man who looked for lack of a better description like a bear. She hadn't been sure what to expect but the large man seemed out of place in his tight leather pants, black as could be, and a button up shirt in a deep purple. His chest was covered with a thick reddish hair that matched the long tresses framing his attractive face, she knew this because his shirt had only two buttons done up so that his tanned skin was exposed. Eve knew most females would probably find this man attractive but he was a little... flashy for her liking. The purple however did suit him.
After setting David back on his feet Darren held him at arms length and looked him over for a moment, "Damn brother. Did you just fall out of a GAP store or something? You wouldn't have had anything to do with the Lycans I've heard are running around all jacked up tonight, would you?"
Straightening David stepped away from the man, "We were attacked."
"Well I'll be damned. Who's this hot little momma you got here?" He'd spotted Eve and pushed David aside to greet her though when she backed away from him he grinned as he held up his hands. "Hang on momma, I ain't gonna hurt you. As fine as you are I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you, unless you asked me to." He flashed her what she was sure was meant to be a flirting grin and held out a hand to her.
"Darren Percival Wolfe, at your service my dear. You ever get tired of a rusty old dog like David here you just let me know. I bet I can keep that motor reeving if you know what I mean," he said as he waited for her to take his hand.
A little reluctantly Eve looked at him a little confused before her eyes went to David, "Do all your non-coven contacts act so... brash?"
Darren laughed warmly as she finally took his hand but instead of shaking it as she'd expected he drew her closer and kissed the back of her hand. Reacting before thinking Eve jerked free of his grip, taking his wrist in her hand and twisting to cause just enough pain the big man dropped to one knee to escape from her. Her blue eyes bleeding black and incandescent blue before she could stop herself. "What the hell," Darren managed in a strained voice attempting to twist away from the pain she was causing him.
Realizing too late the action wasn't an attack Eve released him and stepped away, David moving to put himself between her and Darren. "Do I need to get your promise to keep from laying your mouth on me as well as your hands?"
"Literal little thing ain't she, hybrid too," Darren said holding his wrist as he looked from Eve's changed eyes to David.
David sighed, "Yes, well... she's right. Just don't touch her. We're here for supplies."
No one missed the edge to his voice, the barely there threat behind his words as David held out a hand to Darren to help him up. Eve let the men deal with each other, she wasn't sure she liked this man just yet. He was far too forward for her liking and she didn't like the liberties he seemed to take with those around him. Arms crossed she moved away from the two, "You won't be asked to lay either on me so let's just move along. Did I damage your wrist?"
As the big man rose to his feet he shook his head, "I'll be fine. Sorry, sweetness. I didn't mean to offend you. Just the way I say hello to beauty."
"Supplies, Darren, we're here for supplies," David said a little annoyed that he had to repeat himself.
Sighing Darren shook his head as he rotated his wrist before his eyes finally moved away from Eve as he heard the tone in David's voice. For a moment the big man looked at the coven elder and couldn't help the grin that curved his mouth. It was pretty clear to him what was going on here even if David didn't want to outright stake a claim on the hybrid girl. With a slow shake of his head Darren let it go, it wasn't his business who was sleeping with who.
"Alright, alright. Let's get you geared up then," the big man said as he moved to the far side of the room. He paused beside a statue of a half naked woman and grinned at them before running a finger down the statues side as if he were caressing a woman lovingly.
The symbolism was lost of Eve however as she watched with an arched brow, "Do you have attachments to inanimate objects as well? You seem very fond of that status."
Darren snorted before moving his finger to the behind of the statue to press gently on a button hidden there, "Odd little duck aren't you? Nevermind, let's go find you two some toys."
A panel behind him opened to reveal a passage way, a staircase that would led them down. As he turned to move ahead of them Eve stopped beside David, "We did not come here for toys did we?"
David had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep a straight face. With a shake of his head he merely waved for her to follow and headed down the stairs himself. The literal way she took things some times was amusing but he didn't want her to think he was laughing at her. Eve had a disadvantage when it came to such things and while it was amusing he had to remind himself why she was that way to begin with.
"Weapons are not toys, Mr. Wolfe."
He grinned at her as he moved along the tables of guns and various weapons spread out before them, "All depends on how you use them, love. Some very much enjoy weapons and what can be done with them. I don't take them lightly however, just so you know."
Frowning a little she merely moved to the side as David walked along the tables. Of course he had the blades he carried always but he hadn't any other weapons as far as she knew. He collected a few things here and there, Darren watching and no doubt keeping a tally in his head.
"We could use a car that's not stolen."
Darren nodded his head, "I can manage that. Do either of you need blood?"
Surprised by the question Eve looked up from the knives she'd been inspecting, "For a human you seem to know more than usual."
The big man gave her a toothy grin, "Oh sweetheart, you have no idea. I thrive on knowing things. I haven't run into any Hybrids such as yourself but I do know you both need blood. You said before you were attacked."
"I fed from the Lycan who attacked me."
Taken back by the comment Darren looked at David who merely met his eyes unflinching. It wasn't a secret vampires didn't drink what many of them thought of as tainted blood. Eve didn't know or care about such things, he saw no wrong in it either honestly. He however hadn't taken blood from the Lycans and while his attention had been captivated by the brunette before him he was actually thirsty, "I could use something."
At ease again with what he knew to be the normal Darren grinned and held up a hand, "Stay here, I'll be right back."
When he returned Darren had a look of mischief on his face. He waved to the pair, "Come. I'll get you all fixed up."
Unsuspecting David and Eve followed only to find themselves in a room, a large bed dominating the space. Upon the bed was a young blonde, bare chested with a gauzy skirt about her hips that barely counted as a skirt honestly. Looking a little dazed the woman grinned at the pair, "Oh, you said they were cute but damn Darren. These two are amazing."
She moved from the bed, hips and breasts swaying to the music they could hear from the club, "Darren said you needed a nip. I'd love to be of service." It was clear she'd done this before as she moved around them, sizing them up.
Eve wasn't sure what to think or at least not until the woman drew close enough to brush against first herself and then David. She felt an uncomfortable sensation fill her chest as she watched the blonde rub her breasts against David's arm before she wrapped an arm around his neck. Unknown to Eve her eyes started to bleed black into the blue. Darren however was very aware as he was watching everything like a hawk.
With a sigh David looked at the blonde unsure how to handle this. He was hungry from blood but he had a feeling he'd just walked into a trap here. He could feel Eve watching him as the blonde pulled her hair aside to present him with her neck. Lifting his eyes from the expanse of creamy flesh before him David looked at Eve, surprised to say the least to see the expression on her face. She looked like she'd just swallowed something unpleasant. Blinking he didn't dare hope what he saw was jealousy, that would be silly. Eve had nothing to be jealous about, she would always be more beautiful and unique in his eyes but he'd never dared say as much to her.
"I...can wait," he finally said carefully with his eyes glued to Eve.
Eve jerked as if the sound of his voice had distracted her from her train of thought and lifted her eyes to look into David's. He was probably hungry from healing. He had immortal blood but that didn't make him any less susceptible to the need to feed. He needed to replenish himself. But with this woman? A voice in her head whispered evilly to her he might drain this bitch dry but she ignored that voice. She didn't even recognize that part of herself, where on earth had that malicious thought come from?
Realizing how irrational her thoughts were Eve shook her head, "You should feed. We don't know what might come for us next, you'll need your strength." That being said however she wasn't going to stay around and watch either. Eve turned away, eyeing the smirking Darren who looked like he'd just won some personal bet he'd had or something.
"I can take you upstairs, David can join us when he's finished," Darren said before waving a hand to the stairs that would take them back to his office.
Thankfully she didn't have to suffer Darren's company too long on her own. David joined them promptly, looking flushed from the infusion of blood. Eve didn't dare ask if he'd drained the blonde as she'd fantasized briefly. She merely remained quiet while the men said their goodbyes. She didn't like the way this situation had made her feel, she'd never experienced anything like this and she didn't know what to do with the sensations she had at the moment. She wished she could have asked about them but she had a feeling David was not the person to ask about her current state.
