Phedre was at the Chapterhouse mostly because she was bored. Alcuin had an assignation, and Jack was still off planet. It wasn't that she was actively seeking a client, but she didn't feel like being alone, and despite her fondness for him, rarely found the other working girls to be particularly good company

John slid into the seat beside her, smiling in a way that was deceptively warm. "Good book?" he asked, plucking it out of her hands and resting it on the table.

He didn't give her a chance to speak though, instead he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her roughly. He didn't really mind if she wasn't game. It would just be an added bonus if she slapped him afterwards.

For her part, Phedre was actually kind of grateful for the kiss, because it gave her a chance to recover after the shock of seeing him, and the wash of emotions she hadn't been able to keep back. Returning a kiss was something that she did automatically.

She immediately felt a little sick and guilty over the way that her body automatically reacted to him, knowing what he'd done to Jack. But by the time the kiss broke, she was smiling, a hint of a dazed expression on her face.

"What book?" she teased, licking her lips.

After all, Jack had never outright told her to stay away from John. This was an opportunity, and she was going to take it. Any information could help, and Phedre was in a position to get it.

... that was how Jack's mind worked too, right?

John wasn't looking to shell out his hard earned credits again, but he couldn't help but sniff around a little. Just to see if he'd made any ripples in Jack's waters.

And, well, he never turned down a chance to kiss someone. Least of all someone so beautiful and... unique. If he'd thought he could get away with it, he'd have snatched her up in a heartbeat... Locked her away for personal use only.

But no, he couldn't play the game so heavy handed.

"Look at you, stunning as ever," John grinned. "Here I was thinking it had just been a trick of the lights... But no, you really are this beautiful all the time. Let me buy you a drink?" he asked, flashing a grin.

She nodded. "Thank you."

She crossed her legs towards him, the short skirt sliding farther up her thighs.

"I've been hoping to see you again," she said honestly as she looked at him and her tongue darted over her lips.
