[C] Another day at the office

Lillian's eyes turned to Raisa.

"Yes, Lily is my stripper name. Is Rai your fuck buddy name?" the woman responded, a little smirk curling her lips. "Oh yes, sweetheart, we hear everything about your little escapades with Basat here. He shares all the dirty little details."

Liq squirmed a little awkwardly. He wasn't enjoying this conversation much.

"Shall we get another drink, Rai?"

"Raisa happens to be my real name, glad you could take your attention away from Basat's cock long enough to ask, I appreciate it."

Raisa laughed as the woman tried to rile her up, this woman really was something, not something good.

"Hearing about our escapades must be the most action you've seen in a while, huh? Hope it didn't get you too riled up." She replied, giving the woman a little wink

Her gaze turned back up to Liq as she gave a small nod.
"Sounds like a good idea to me."

"And Lilian happens to be mine."

The woman smiled a nasty smile. "Have you taken your attention from his cock yet, sweetheart? You've been sat on it for quite a while. Picturing him fucking you with it nice and hard?"

She gave a soft chuckle in response to Rai's unpleasant comments. She was hardly affected by them.

"Sweetheart, I've done things more fun than you do in my sleep."

Her smirk widened, attention turning back to a very uncomfortable Khaliq. "Do you want to try out those fun things with me tonight, Basat? I promise I won't disappoint."

"I don't really have any need to fantasize about it, I have it to myself every night."

This woman really thought she was going to be getting into Liq's pants? She looked like white trash, the only thing that shocked Rai about her was that she was working at Zo, she seemed like a two dollar hooker that you would find on a street corner in the dodgy part of town.


"Is your sleep the only place you do fun things? Because I can imagine that you only place you find yourself in bed with a hot man in is in your dreams."

Lily laughed. "I can get hot men just fine, sweetheart."

Once again, her attention turned to Khaliq. She wanted a answer. "Come on, sweetheart, play with a real woman."

Khaliq's grip tightened around Rai a little. He didn't want to get between Rai and Lily. Getting between a bitch fight was a total no go. It was one of the first things he had learned at Zo.

"I'm going to go get those drinks."

He slid Rai off his lap and padded down the bar.

"If that's the case why are you trying to take my man while we are just trying to have a quiet night with some friends?"

She asked, tilting her head as she looked at the woman, this was pathetic, did she want Liq that bad that she just had to hit on him now, while they were having a night together, this bitch was rude.

"Thanks."

She muttered as she slid off of Liq's lap as she left to buy drinks, perching herself back onto his seat.

"There's your chance Lillian, I'm not in his lap, you want him so badly? Try and take him, I assure you that he had no interest in you, you've seen what he is packing, even still, I can imagine him being with you will be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway."

She didn't even want to think about how many men this vile woman had coaxed into her bed, too many to count.

"Because Basat is the hottest of the hot. I'm sure even you can agree with that one."

The Necromancer was a beautiful piece of meat. Something Lily really wanted to sink her teeth into. Quite literally.

Lily smiled. "Why, thank you for giving me your blessing. Don't take it too hard when he comes home with me tonight." She gave a little wave as she headed towards Khaliq.

"Basat, sweetheart, your whore just loaned you out to me for one free fuck." Her eyes swooped over the man slowly. "Aren't you lucky to get me for the night?"

Liq sighed softly, eyes turning down to Lily. She wasn't giving up.

Admittedly, this woman was getting under her skin, she was treating Liq like a piece of meat, like all his entire value came from his body.

It annoyed her, there was so much more to him than that, he was more than just a fuck and she was more than just his fuck buddy.

Rai took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, she could feel a wave of possessiveness wash over her, she knew it was her wolf, another woman was trying to poach her man.

She sighed softly as she tried to calm down, things would be so much easier if everyone were lycans, she could simply fight the woman, prove she was the stronger female and keep her claim on the man.

"Look, Lily, I'm not interested. You're... an okay girl. I just dont want to fuck you."

At all. Ever. Not even if she had a gun pressed to his head.

Lily looked insulted. Then angry. Then smug again.

"Oh, but you do want me, sweetheart. Everyone wants me." And then Lily reached forwards, gripping the Necromancer through his jeans.

Raisa looked back up at the wrong moment, perfect timing to see the woman grabbing Liq through his pants.

She was up like a bolt, yanking Lily's hand away from his body and gripping onto her wrist tightly, probably too tightly.

"He told you he isn't interested, so back off."

She growled, her eyes narrowing at the woman, in moments like these it was easy to see through Rai's human form and witness the snarling wolf hidden just below the surface.

Lily did what was perhaps the worst thing anyone could do in this situation.

She bought her other hand up and slapped Rai squarely in the cheek.

And the club exploded with activity before Rai could even react. Khaliq had his arms wrapped around Rai, holding her tightly against him. Aodh had appeared at Lily's side, tugging on Rai's fingers to release her grip on the human.

"Go take her to a corner," Aodh ordered. "I think it's time you left, babe. Come on."

Raisa was stunned for a moment as her mind processed what had just happened and by the time the snarl was able to leave her throat Liq was holding onto her tightly, silencing her instantly as his arms banded around her.

She trembled in anger up against his chest, hiding her face in against him, knowing full well that her fangs were showing.

If the two of them hadn't intervened she would have lost it.

"I'm sorry..."

She murmured softly, sounding small as she hid in against him trying to calm herself down as she panted heavily.

"If you didn't act, I would have," Liq replied, hoisting the woman up so he was carrying her.

He padded to the back corner of the bar and sat in the empty booth, resting her on his lap.

"Let me see. Bitch had turned her rings." Liq had noticed the woman's numerous rings and how they were turned so the gems were on the inside of her hand.

He lifted the woman's chin so he could get a loot at her cheek.

Liq couldn't help but chuckle softly. Rai had a nice bright hand shaped mark on her face. "She got you good." Within that bright mark, there were a few scratches. Luckily none of them deep enough to have actually made her bleed.

Raisa didn't protest when he picked her up, she didn't trust herself enough to not be held by him at the moment, if she was free to move she would run after that woman and tear her apart.

"It doesn't matter."

She murmured as Liq inspected her face.

"It will be healed over in an hour anyway."

She wasn't pleased with how this had turned out, Lily had gotten her better than she had gotten the woman, Liq and Aodh had reacted too quickly, least they could have done was let her give the woman a black eye.

"I would have gotten her better if you two hadn't gotten in the way."
She scowled, her fangs visible behind her lips as she spoke.

"Aren't we absolute assholes for saving you from being kicked out?" he snorted softly.

His thumb traced her cheek before running over her lower lip slowly.

"Seeing you react like that was kinda sexy."

Liq gave the woman a grin. "I wouldn't mind seeing you get that fired up in the bedroom."

She elbowed Liq in the gut as he grinned down at her, of course he would make this sexual.

"Wanna see me this fired up, invite Lily over to play."

She replied dully, that woman got her blood boiling, she would happily beat the woman over the head.

Rai gave a sigh and leaned against his chest, her body slowly calming down.

"I'm not use to feeling so possessive, I don't like it, this is all your fault."
She grumbled, glaring up at him before smiling softly and shaking her head.

"I'd rather not."

He really didn't want anything more to do with Lily. The bitch had done enough to piss him off.

"I'm not sorry."

Khaliq leaned back against the wall, arms wrapping around Rai as she leaned against his chest.

He quite liked this possessive side of her.

"It's just the way she talked about you, like you were just a piece of meat or something to be conquered, that's what really set me off, then she had the nerve to touch you when you told her no."

The hybrid curled in closer to him and gave a dark growl, hugging his arms tightly as she nestled in against his chest.

"We've been a couple for a whole hour and I've already fended off two women, you're exhausting, you think they can sense that you're taken so they all want you more?"

He was some forbidden fruit now so they all had to have him.

"I really need that drink now."

Liq snorted. "Maybe."

He was forbidden fruit. The one that they couldn't have unless he was really interested in them first.

Not tonight, though. Tonight he was all Raisa's.

"Let's go back to the bar and get it, then. Aodh's escorted the... lovely lady out already. It's safe to head back over."

"This is the second time tonight that I'm going to need to thank Aodh, I don't like that this is becoming a regular thing."

The less the Beta had to hold over her, the better.

Raisa leaned up and pressed a kiss to his lips, now that she was calm her fangs clicked back as they retracted.

"That sounds like a great idea, right now I want to drink my way through a bottle of rum."

He returned her kiss happily.

"I'm sure we could manage that between us."

Clearing the bar out of their alcohol sounded like a good idea. The two had been through a lot tonight. There was nothing like cutting loose and cooling down with a bit of alcohol in their systems.

"Come on."

Raisa sat on the stool next to Liq for the rest of the night, the two of them drank copious amounts, managed to get through the bottle of rum that she had endeavored to complete before moving onto shots.

Being supernatural creatures gave them some resistance to alcohol but as the night rolled on they found themselves in high spirits once again.

The two of them laughed and joked, different friends joining them throughout the night as they forgot about the worries that had previously plagued them.

Raisa placed her shot glass down on the bar and purr as she leaned against Liq's shoulder.

"I think that my last, wont me able to walk home."

She murmured with a soft giggle as she looked up at him.

"I need to pee, really bad."

She added as she got to her feet, pausing for a moment to steady herself before padded towards the ladies room.

"We don't need to walk. We can just stagger," Liq replied with a little grin, raising his shot glass.

Who needed to walk anywhere?

The Necromancer was a little worse off than Rai. Alcohol affected Necromancers more than it did Lycan. He was pretty much trollied already.

"Don't be gone long."

Raisa disappeared into the bathroom for a few moments before she gave a loud yell and came staggering back out, quickly followed by a man twice her size who currently had the fly of his pants zipped down.

"Get away from me you pervert."

She growled as she wheeled around and glared at him.
"Who do you think you are hiding in the women's room and looking over stalls, you're sick!"

The man laughed as she tried to reach toward her.
"Now sweety there is no reason to make a scene, I'm not a bad looking guy you should take it as a compliment, not hows about I buy you a drink and we head back to my place?"

Khaliq didn't hear the commotion just outside the bathrooms.

He was too busy being distracted by a now very energetic Darragh who was playing with his hair happily.

He and Aodh were singing very loudly and badly together as the tot tugged at his braid.

Liq hadn't heard Rai at all.
