This begins the end. For kingofmagpies

Eudoxia had not taken a companion in many years, very few humans had the ability to hold her interest for longer than an evening at most. But here she was, embracing a human she had only just invited to travel with her. The darkness lurking behind Jim's gaze was enough to pique her interest. It had been a century or more since Eudoxia had the

He was changeable. His one weakness. So when offered the chance to abandon his web, his games, his plans in favor of blowing up planets? He took it. Why wouldn't he?

Especially when the person offering that chance was an attractive woman with demons looking out from her eyes. Demons he recognized as being like the ones that stared at him in the mirror.

"I was a consulting criminal. I helped people commit crimes, managed a web that spread across the planet and was in general a very bad man. And what about you beautiful lady? What do you do when you're not granting wishes?"

[tempest_in_time]

Theirs would be fire, she was sure of it; her fingers felt the heat as they crept up to his cheek.

"A bad man? With those eyes, I'd let you get away with it"

Eudoxia has always been rather good at playing the innocent card, and as a pretty blonde woman, it's not the hardest card to play.

"I'm a lord of time. I travel time and space. Shagging people and killing people."

[kingofmagpies]

He leaned into her hand, lips curving into a smile which would have sent so many people running. If he hadn't been so good at seeing through such ploys, and if he hadn't seen her face after the explosion, he might have believed that innocent look. But it was a good look on her...

And that answer... Oooh...

"Seems like you have even more fun then I do... Or rather, you have the same fun I do, but on a much grander scale. And if I may say, time could not have a better ruler."

[tempest_in_time]

"I have a good bit of fun. After all, whats the point in living for ages without having a good time."

The way he leans so casually into her touch, lifts the corners of her mouth. He has a rather expressive face, each twitch of his lips, or move of his eyes speaks volumes to anyone able to listen.

"I'm rather glad I picked you up."

[kingofmagpies]

"Oh, and I am certainly glad to be taken. Now, m'lady, where to next? Some other place that deserves the attentions of such a beautiful terror?"

And she is a terror. Like the most lovely weapon a mind could ever conceive, perfect in every way...

"Some other place that needs to be reminded of it's place at your feet perhaps?"

[tempest_in_time]

His flattery is going to her head. She quite likes him, in a way that might involve tying him to her bed.

"I haven't thought it out, really. I'm terrible with planning. But, where is your place, love?"

[kingofmagpies]

His smile curves further. "Oh, I'm very good at planning. I find it... fun. Figuring out the strings to pull to make the puppets dance..."

He pauses, head tilting a bit further into her grasp, eyes dancing with cruel mirth.

"Oh, my place is boring. Not worth the trouble of turning your attention to it. Care to show me some place more interesting? I know nothing in the universe could be as lovely as you are, but perhaps there's something that's close? Or some silly little civilization who needs a new goddess to worship?"

[tempest_in_time]

"Perhaps I'll let you set some plans later"

Her fingers slide around to weave into his hair, nails lightly trailing over the skin.

"If you keep with the complements, we may never make it further than my bedroom" She gives a wicked grin.

[kingofmagpies]

"Happy to plan anything you'd like me to..."

His words trail off as he arches into the touch, smile pleased, eyes sliding half shut, almost like a content cat.

"Who deserves complimenting more then you? Oh, but don't you have better things to do beautiful? Surely there's something more important then me that deserves your regard?"

His hand lifts, fingers stroking feather light along her arm.

[tempest_in_time]

"Of course I have plenty of things to do, but time travel. I could shag you for days and still make this afternoon's tea"

His fingers meet her cool skin and she nearly hums, her fingers teasingly grabbing at Jim's hair. She steps up a bit, nuzzling her face into his throat.

[kingofmagpies]

"Oh, you promise the most lovely things." His voice is a purr, eyes flickering open as he asks "But I don't even know what I should call you m'lady..."

His head arches back, baring the line of his throat, and he strokes her cheek, tracing the line of her cheekbone, back to run across the top of her ear as she nuzzles him.

[tempest_in_time]

There is a happy noise as she kisses his throat.

"Eudoxia, love."

These two might be the most dangerous pairing the universe has ever seen. Her eyes flutter shut, just momentarily savoring the closeness.

[kingofmagpies]

"Oh, I remember your name m'lady. I'd be a poor companion indeed if I couldn't remember that... But what should I call you? Beautiful? Perfection? Goddess?"

His eyes, as they open, are full of teasing mirth and his hand moves down, stroking along the side of her throat, his other coming up to settle on her hip.

[tempest_in_time]

"You do nothing but boost my ego." she chuckles "How about just Doxia?"

She leans her head slightly, letting his fingers smooth along cool skin. She is almost surprised by the delicate way he's touching her, but then again, she isn't exactly a human. She is rather sure she stands as far more than a conquest.

"What shall we do, Jim?" Her voice is teasing, she has plenty of ideas, whole worlds to ravage, or rule.
