​

Leilani smiled she saw the canines, "that is a cross between horribly sexy and down right scary" She shook her head for just a second, "I like it" she turned her head to see his finger go down her arm.

She didn't move instead she moved slightly to where when she tilted her head she was turned as if ready to give a kiss. "No you don't do you, many know very little of me Zander." She took a bite of the fruit using her thumb to wipe away some of the juice which covered her lips, "My parents were imperial agents, even though most imperials don't associate with anyone who isn't human their.." She thought of the word she wanted as she took another bite, Handler saw great use for them.

She watched him for a few moments, As I got older I was taught to handle a blaster, and to learn how to use my natural talents to entice. She shook her head slightly as she thought on what happen, they were loyal to the handler, and as long as the handler lived they felt safe. But no one is safe. She looked sad for just a moment and then it passed, we went home to Zeltros, and in time I thought I wanted to do what they did even do it for the imperials...but to be seen as property, not as woman I couldn't live like that. So...here I am, trying to be a good agent, and satisfy my cravings, my physical needs for as a zeltron my species enjoys the physical needs.."

She grinned real big now knowing he knew exactly what she meant, I keep a few people on a string to milk for information...." She reached over a single finger trailed down the center of his chest across his abs till it rested just above the happy trail..

"Quid pro quo Zander dear.."

Zander listened intently to Leilani's story. He hadn't been around for many of the galaxies imperial states, but his opinion of them, and their current descendants, were part of some very foolish people with foolish ideas on what is appropriate. The idea that some races were inferior t others had been prevalent in his own time, but not to the point that Leilani was describing. He let her draw her fingers along his body, it was not something new at this point.

"Quid pro quo." Zander muttered and looked into the distance for a moment to gather his thoughts. "I was born into a royal family of a planet that has long since been conquered and irrevocably altered. The forces that conquered it were the Brotherhood of Darkness." A point made that, if Leilani knew her history, would make Zander well over a thousand years old. "As I am a force sensitive being, I was taken for training in the ways of the Sith. It was during this training that I met a man named Maleef. He was a Sith Lord who specialized in applying Sith Alchemy to living beings. His training, as one can be assured by the name of Sith, was brutally hard. I grew up in the shadow of the Brotherhood, I saw the rise of Darth Bane. Before Bane annihilated the Brotherhood, Maleef began experimenting on his apprentices. His goals are still occluded to me, but I will eventually find out. When he was done, I was the only one who survived. He had changed me, I was naturally stronger and faster and I could digest blood of sentient beings as sustenance."

He paused a moment to gather his thoughts. The next part was a bit on the implausible side. "On the day that the Brotherhood of Darkness was destroyed by Darth Bane, I felt an oddity in the force. I felt the need to escape Ruusan, and so I did. I flew my ship out of the atmosphere, but it was not soon enough. When he detonated the thought bomb, I was going into hyper space. The thought bomb must have altered the fabric of space, and the hyper jump sent me into the event horizon of a black hole. I was not released from that forced torpor until recently. I returned to Ruusan to find it bristling with life, my ship was irrevocably damaged. I sold it for parts and found, to my surprise, Maleef. It turns out he's been using clones and mental transference to keep himself alive. It appears he has fallen as atrophied in the force as I have in my time in stasis. I killed that clone, and will eventually kill the rest..." He trailed off and shrugged. "I joined the Ravens as a means to reacquire my expertise in the force and as a base to strike out against Maleef when I find him. Though I have certainly found some interesting...distractions, along the way." He grinned at Leilani.

"That is my story, told shortly, but the interesting parts are all there."

 

[Leilani Paaie]

She fingers traced the ridges of his stomach as he spoke to her she could feel just how even his breathing had remained with each word. Oh she thought her ability to sense emtions still sensed only little trickles here and there but nothing that would lead her down any path that said oh this emotion, this feeling. If anything he affected her a strange switch of roles.

She did know her history and to hear him say that he was of that time, and yet he looked. Her dark eyes once again scanned over his body looking for any sign of age and there was not one. "So then you are sith" she said the words near silent should someone hear and blab to ever soul willing to listen. "Is it safe to say that Maleef is the one that had given you your unique appetite?" She of course referred to his drinking of blood.

One thing was for certain when he said he would find Maleef and kill all of the clones she heard the inkling of conviction in his voice.

She leaned a little closer now, "If it is your desire I can remain a distraction for you when you desire one. She then kissed him gently, as a soft reminder of how it felt to be near her, even though they had never parted, and were at the moment only wearing their birthday suits. " As for your story that like you is quite unique, I have never heard such a story. Are you concerned that he's not only been able to keep himself alive, but also that he continues with his practice of alchemy upon the living?"

Leilani had been right there was quite a bit more to the man who sat with her on the bed and who...knew how to tempt and tease the pleasures of a zeltron

"So then you are sith" she said the words near silent should someone hear and blab to ever soul willing to listen. "Is it safe to say that Maleef is the one that had given you your unique appetite?" She of course referred to his drinking of blood.

"I am Sith. Though more out of lack of any other philosophical training than a need to be Sith. As you may have deduced, I am not like most Sith." He spoke in the hushed tones that only floated through walls as the speaking of lovers in pillows. "Maleef is indeed the one who gave me my unique appetite. Though he was hoping more for a weapon that would be controlled by only him. I retained self awareness enough to learn to reign in the thirst. From there I slowly regained myself."

"If it is your desire I can remain a distraction for you when you desire one. She then kissed him gently, as a soft reminder of how it felt to be near her, even though they had never parted, and were at the moment only wearing their birthday suits. " As for your story that like you is quite unique, I have never heard such a story. Are you concerned that he's not only been able to keep himself alive, but also that he continues with his practice of alchemy upon the living?"

"Distractions sound...delicious. Know, though, that I do have goals and plans. They will likely mean a great deal of risk to myself and those who are close to me, particularly if Maleef is looking for me. I will neither be dissuaded from my goals by such distractions nor by worry of collateral damage." He replied to the first part of her statement, after returning her short kiss. He smiled despite his words, his determination was fairly evident, though it was clear that he planned to take things as slow as necessary and thus did not worry over much about being...distracted. "I am almost certain that he has continued his alchemical experiments. It is one reason that I am trying not to underestimate him. I need to train and regain my strength in the Force, replace a few items that have been lost to time and gain access to a network of information. For all of those things, the Ravens are perfect, and for such things I have agreed to join and assist Chiasa and the Ravens when I am requested to do so. So far, the tasks are simply onerous..." He grinned as the last reply, laced through with sarcasm to imply that he was truly enjoying this task so far.

Zander's guard was slowly lowering in regards to Leilani, perhaps a dangerous thing to do towards a self-acknowledged spy, but Zander, despite being ancient and formerly powerful, was still a man. He had needs and desires that weren't necessarily coupled to his other goals. Everyone desired companionship, and Zander had always been a flirtatious type by nature. She would begin to feel his emotions in little doses. No where in there was an ounce of regret, mostly it was determination, lust and a little bit of apprehension. Understandable for a person who suddenly found themselves more than a thousand years in the future and having missed so many epic events in history.

​

The word Sith brought many images to Lelani's mind some of them quite frightening others no reaction she did not have enough knowledge or information to be able to react and Zander did not fit the image that had come to mind. As he explained more she began to understand just what strength lay within this man before her. The ability to stay strong and keep himself that was a strength that many did not possess.

She made her offer and nodded as he reminded her that he had goals, "We must all aspire to something, and what is life without risk. If risk were a problem for me I would not be what I am, I'd have stayed on Zeltros and learned some mundane job there" He basically had just told her she could be a distraction but if she were killed it would be of little consequence to him due to his goals. Was that something she could live with?

She did not know she had time to think on things.

She could hear that lilt in his voice though he did not mind spending time with her, and why should he mind, she was pleasant, in good shape, and willing. She nodded, "Zander" she cooed at him, "do you like plans dear, or do you prefer seat of your pants?" She could feel him here and there now as if he were deciding what to do, or feel. It was an odd sensation for Leilani.

"If we can get these plans and create some of these stealth suits it could mean great rewards for the Ravens that use them"

Her fingers were still resting on his stomach, "Have you found someone to train with to help you get to your goals?" All things were important.

 

[H3xle]

"I prefer to have an overall plan, but remain...flexible..." Zander replied to her first question with a grin. Flirting was fun, especially if doing so was continuing to further their getting to know each other. On an operation, it was truly imperative to know if your partner would stick to a plan no matter what or be flexible or if they would truly just fly with the wind. Zander was a mix of the first two. He liked to have plans, goals to work towards, but he liked to be able to work towards them on an independent timescale and through whatever means he had at hand.

"If we can get these plans and create some of these stealth suits it could mean great rewards for the Ravens that use them" Her fingers were still resting on his stomach, "Have you found someone to train with to help you get to your goals?" All things were important.

"No, thus far I have mostly trained on my own while trying to utilize the networks of the Ravens to plot out what steps need to be taken. I have purchased a ship from the Ravens, but it is getting a customized paint job." He grinned, truly getting into working for the Red Ravens. His Blood Raven, while small, would be recognizable an eventually strike fear by it's mere presence in a conflict. That was a goal of his. "What about you, my dear, do you prefer to go by the plan or...the seat of your pants?" He grinned again and arched an eyebrow. He lay, contently, under her hand.

oh he was good wasn't he, he seemed to pick up the little play on words quickly or was she that easy to read. She could only smile at him openly but she had to like that he was so quick and aware of the words and emotions shared with him. There was nothing like a man who was in touch with himself and completely totally aware of his talents and affect on women, Zander seemed to resonate this.

She had this feeling they both enjoyed flexibility for a number of reasons he was training alone she did not know enough to know if this was good. "I'm sure in time you'll find exactly what you need when it comes to a training partner" she smiled. She kept him close as her hand stayed resting upon him the pads of her fingers continued to play across his skin as they talked.

"I like to know the layout it gives me an awareness that I crave, I mean need." She swallowed, and opened her lips to speak sometimes her words felt torn from her rather than with the smooth silk elegance that she wanted. "Seat of my pants can get me bruises, but I am quite flexible, have to be you know." She arched a brow, 'course..I rarely wear pants" She laughed a bit she couldn't help it.

"I will keep an eye out and listen for information on Maleef for you." She began to walk her fingers back up to his chest, Amusement flickered in her gaze perhaps some hidden knowledge or was she teasing him further. "I don't distract easy, and I"m a pretty good shot, how about you Zander dear...you a good shot?"

Finding out about each other was proving to be quite the delight

[member="Zander del Sangue"]

 

[H3xle]

"Well, such beautiful legs shouldn't be entrapped by...pants." Zander replied as he grinned, allowing her to walk her hands up his chest. "I thank you for your assistance, I assure you that Maleef is nothing but a cancer on the galaxy. I am a decent shot, though I am far better with my hands." Zander replied, grinning and winking at her. The flirtation was definitely pleasing, he would enjoy getting involved with this Zeltron, as he had the previous night. Alas, all good things and other such tripe, it had to be turned toward the business at hand. Zander took her hand and kissed the back of it, before returning it to his chest.

"So, where is our friend's assistant on the ship? I am sure we could get an itinerary stamped out before we arrive at our destination. Our friend is very busy, and I am sure he would greatly appreciate our efficiency in finding time to see him." Zander's grin turned downright predatory, his enlarged canines flashing prominently.

​

She could attest to his declaration that he was better with his hands she smiled and nodded in agreement. They were on this trip to seek out the plans the added diversion of the intimacy was just reward and welcome diversion as he said.

Leilani leaned over and pulled the plans back to the bed, She took his hand and laid it upon her thigh where it gave her comfort. She was now trying to divide her attentions which she felt she could do.

She took her other hand and traced a pathway along the ship's edge, "Over here the assistant has a stateroom, conveniently on our level, and just two corridors away." she looked over to Zander looking at him in profile. She could see bits of experience in his face, the wrinkle by the eyes, and the set of his jaw. It was then she saw the predator as he studied the ship plans with her.

That kind of aura, that simple gesture of strength and power that predators possessed with the keen ability to judge the point of convergence where the kill would mean the most that caught her breath she had not been in the presence of such assuredness in a long time.

"I think I can keep the assistant busy if you can look through the cabin..." She felt anticipation starting to build within her as she dare to tempt fate once more.

 

[H3xle]

Zander nodded to her plan as he used his powerful fingers to massage the spot on her thigh that she had placed his hand. Using a trick he'd picked up many years back, he warmed the blood in his hand, causing a warming sensation at the spot where his hand met her thigh.

"Do we know specifically what I am looking for? Will it be codes, keys, diaries or just anything that might help us?" Zander might be good, but he wasn't truly experienced with espionage yet. Yet, because he was certainly enjoying the game of espionage. Mentally he made a point to see what he could do to sharpen his wit toward espionage, having more than one sharpened tool in your shed meant you could use many implements to shed blood as needed. Paraphrasing proverbs is particularly pleasing.

Zander felt, through the skin to skin contact of his hand on her thigh, her heart begin to beat faster. He knew it didn't have everything to do with him, for he could feel his own heart begin to beat faster, adrenaline leaking into his systems at the thought of going into action again. Albeit, this would be far different action than he had been designed for, and different from much of what he had ever done, but he figured that was one more thorn in the side of Maleef. His pet project was growing beyond the initial design parameters. The monster can choose his own way in the world, in this century.

"Yes when you get inside we want information on the employer, the designer's itinerary." She felt the heat in his hand that was a wonderful sensation. She couldn't help it the her pheromones were starting to fill the room.

"If we have the itinerary it will allow us time to choose a place and a convenient time to search his rooms and then if necessary encounter him to convince him to give us the designs" She smiled the plan sounded relatively simple but he knew there was always the unexpected to happen.

"If you see opportunity take it, if you see a better plan tell me this only works if we do it together." She knew they could find a rhythm their evening activities proved that so transitioning to vertical should be easy.

"Security around the designer is an unknown I'm hoping the assistant has that so that is something else to look for." She reached down moving his hand slightly higher as she caught her breath.

"Questions?"

[member="Zander del Sangue"]

 

[H3xle]

"Questions?"

Zander answered her by pushing her back down into the softness of the bed and kissing up her neck to her mouth.

Fade to black

____________________________________________________________

Some time later

Zander, reluctantly, followed Leilani out of bed. Distractions were definitely more fun in this century, but work needed to be done. While Leilani busied herself getting ready to distract the assistant, Zander pulled on some fresh clothing. Non-descript was the name of his game for the day, so Zander chose to go with a charcoal turtle-neck, back slacks and soft soled loafers. He looked like a typical rich man on a cruise, which would allow him to fade into the background on this cruise full of rich men. He slipped into the bathroom and quickly combed his hair back, as always it behaved better than he could have hoped, much to the chagrin of women everywhere, and adopted his normal style.

Next, Zander armed himself, guns would be noisy and possibly puncture the hull, so knives were the order of the day in that regard. Hidden knives, in particular, were called for. Zander slid a pair of karambits into specialized sheathes along his belt, they would be next to impossible to see and easy to reach. Looking himself in the mirror, he was completely ready to ransack somebodies room. The keycard clone was ready on the table, a quick scan of the network attached to the target lock would give him complete access as if he were a maintenance man, thereby not alarming security. All else was gumshoe work.

He peeked over at Leilani getting ready and smiled.

"If I were a different man, my dear, I would be getting extremely jealous..."

He was certainly athletic in every manner of the imagination and if it were not for her species natural flexibility she was not sure that she would have been able to fulfill his needs. But one low growl from him, a single touch and her insides quivered and melted into whatever manner of woman he needed.

Later as Leilani stood within the refresher enjoying the water as it refreshed her skin, and revitalized her she heard Zander moving about. Within moments Leilani was out wearing only a towel as a headdress.

She looked over at Zander appreciative his presence, and this manner of dress suited him exquisitely. Oh god she could fall hard for a guy like this but it was clear where his ambitions lay she knew she would be available to assist him any time just to be near him. Just in case he had an inkling to...well..

Leilani pulled from the closet the appropriate red dress, one that was sure to attract attention. She then reached up and pulled the towel from her long blue black hair it fell in long tendrils framing her face and laying on her shoulders softly.

She slipped on the dress, would Zander notice what was missing as she did? She fussed with her hair slightly and then put on lip gloss rather than lipstick, she preferred the sheen rather than the paint.

The red dress was as form fitted to her as any other piece of her clothing, she was meant to radiate sexuality, classy sexuality. Sweeping her hand over her bottom she sat down and put on the black three inch heels, she looked over at Zander again as he was arming himself.

She would not carry a weapon tonight, as far as she was concerned Zander training and abilities would far exceed the requirement for protecting her if it was needed.

She smiled at his comment, if he were a different man, she stood up and crossed to him, she leaned forward and bit his lower lip lightly, then kissed him gentle pain and pleasure two things she believed they both understood, "I may wish you to be that kind of man one day"

She turned to look in the mirror again smoothing her dress making sure her makeup was in place and that she looked like...sensuality in heels.

She looked at Zander's reflection, "Are you ready to go and try this out, the assistant should be in the casino." She went to her suitcase and picked up a small ear device slipping it into her ear she held out one to Zander.

"Two you, you can hear, and speak to me..." She smiled again.

"Ready lover?" she winked at him femme fatale at her best men beware.

 

[H3xle]

Zander slipped his hand around her waist and pulled her to him. A simple, little tease. She would know the promise of later.

"You tell me when and I might be able to oblige." He responded to her words of her wanting him to be a jealous sort. He smiled and kissed/nibbled her ear a bit as they exited the room. "As for ready, you know the answer to that." He said with a sly wink.

He lead her out of their room and down the hallway, after securing their door, and onto the casino floor. As per the plan, Zander walked with her, arm in arm as they walked through the casino, both of them looking at the various games of chance and the people around them. On their second round of the floor, Zander spotted their mark, and they walked past without interest.

"I am thinking I will take a dip in the pool my love, would you care to join me?" He spoke loud enough for her to hear him above the din, despite their ear buds. Appearances must be kept up. He knew that she would feign interest in a game here and he would promise to return for her after an hour or so. The beginning was the easy part of the plan, the acting. The skulduggery would come soon after, for Zander.

[SIZE=12pt]She arched a brow at him and smiled and giggled like a girl on her first date when he spoke of being ready yes her mind went somewhere and it was not about the mission.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]They walked along as lovers would half of it for show half of it a reality as they discovered the strengths and weaknesses of one another. This would only draw them closer, easier to work together, easier to call upon.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Gambling, Leilani could not help but hear the bells and whistles of the machines the gentle pull on the bandits the whirling noise of the wheels as they spun. Their slow and steady walk they looked like a couple trying to decide which machine would give them their best shot, the way her hand slid down his arm, the gentle yet firm hand he placed on her waist, until they spotted their intended.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Leilani looked at Zander they each knew what was to come she would make sure he did not go back to the room while Zander rifled the room. She looked at him kissed him gently, “No darling you go I’ll join you soon” then she whispered “be careful”[/SIZE]


[SIZE=12pt]She reluctantly let him go as she made her way toward the mark, taking a breath putting on her best smile she made it to stand by him. A look at his face and Leilani was taken back he looked no more than a kid. Darling, there could be company. She said to no one but knowing that Zander listened on the other end. A warning to be aware.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Could this be a set up what would Zander find, now she felt a bit of concern. She hip checked the young man gently, “OHhh excuse me I’m so sorry” Pheromones rolled off and around the table. There were looks all around. She knew she had to be careful.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]“So, what’s the bet?” She made sure to rub elbows with the young man who looked at her more and more, she would glance over and smile. Waiting. [/SIZE]

 

[H3xle]

Zander slipped from the casino floor and strode around the passenger levels, passing by the room of their target a couple of times. Each time he extended his senses and sought for anyone that could be inside. The first two times he detected two people inside and could hear conversation. The third time he felt only one and heard nothing. He checked the hallway, it was clear of anyone. He pressed the lock cracker to the electronic lock and after ea moment he was inside the door. He closed it softly, the extreme lack of light not hindering his vision at all. He slipped into the room and saw a form sleeping in one of the suites rooms through an open door. The itinerary would be either in hardcopy somewhere or on a computer. He wouldn't have time to check everything unless he ensured that the person sleeping wouldn't awaken and bother him. He quickly went back to the front door and scrambled the lock, anyone else coming back would have to go all the way to guest services before they could get in.

He then slipped into the bedroom and over to the sleeping figure. She was sleeping, the most vulnerable time for anyone. He reached out with his mind and gently sent her into a deeper sleep. Sure that he wouldn't be interrupted, he quickly searched the room and ruled it out as not having what he was looking for, he left and closed that door. He then turned on the light in the other bedroom and commenced searching. He found several data disks and a data reader, sifting through them took several minutes but he found that they were not what he wanted.

He moved into the living area and almost instantly found a dataslate. When he cracked the password, which happened to be the name of their employer, he saw that it contained the itinerary they desired as well as security codes to the building. This would allow them access and know where their true target would be for the next two weeks after their arrival. He grinned, downloaded the data into a portable pad and turned the lights off. Now for some mischief.

Zander returned to the woman sleeping in the other room. He slid into her mind again and began to give her a dream. It was a very vivid, very erotic dream containing the captain of the ship and not her husband. He insinuated a familiar feeling as if this activity had actually happened, then slid out of her mind as she writhed in pleasure in the bed. He slipped out of the room and off through the passenger halls again as he sought to find if he had a tail.

[SIZE=12pt]The young man looked over at Leilani and each time he did he could swear the woman was flirting with him. Finally he stopped leaned slightly and asked, “Are you…um..like…hitting on me?”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Leilani was not taken back this at all, “Well I have never seen someone so young with freckles around the gaming tables.” She smiled her best smile, “and you do it so well” he had been winning she wondered how he was doing it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]He smiled then like he had just eaten something he was not supposed to.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]“It’s all about luck” He nodded at her almost dismissively.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]“Well why don’t you walk with me and tell me about luck” She reached over and touched his arm.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]It was then he got a bit of a leary look unsure of whether to go, or stay. “I don’t know, I have a girl back in the room”[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Leilani laughed, “I have husband, I’m not looking for an affair, I’m looking for a secret” That was not a lie.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]She had not yet heard from Zander to say he had found anything so she had to assume she needed to keep him away from his room. She got a little closer, “I’d like to prove to my husband that I can gamble as well as he can” It was a secret or seemed so by the tone of her voice and the way she had now gotten so close to him.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]A few people noticed, others chalked it up to the ship.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]“Wellll” he thought, “sure once around the deck should do it”[/SIZE]


[SIZE=12pt]Leilani took his arm looping hers into it, “So..what is the secret?”[/SIZE]


[SIZE=12pt]They walked away as the freckled faced young man explained his strategy, of course he left out all the important parts not wanting anyone else to win on his luck.[/SIZE]
