Taste of Heaven Pair 5 [Invite Only]

Guest

Corbin paused, almost dramatically, before reading out the next pair: Jacques and Violet. "The rest of you can drink and mingle while our two chosen ones get comfortable. When it's time to announce the next pair, I'll call for you to gather again," he said.

To the pair, in a lower tone, he added, "Consent is the key word. If either of you so much as think of doing something the other doesn't agree to, there will be fudging hell to pay, am I clear?" His tone was void of any emotion, dark and dangerous; he was serious. "Should either attempt, the safe word is, simply, 'dolvina'. Commit it to memory -- dolvina." Pausing for a moment, he made sure to look both individual in the eyes before continuing. "This is for emergencies only, meaning you cannot -- and you will not -- use it simply because you don't enjoy the company of the other."

There was a low threat in his tone, indicating that nasty things would happen should the phrase be used otherwise, but what these were he didn't say. Instead, with a smirk, he motioned towards the door. "Enjoy," he said, waiting for them to enter before he started the timer.

OOC Things to note:

1) These pairings were genuinely made with a pairing generator online, with the only edited tweaks being when siblings or two characters of the same handler were paired, in which case names were randomly switched.

I'm sorry if you don't like your pairing.

2) As your characters won't know how long they have to spend in the room (it can be anywhere from 7 minutes to 15 minutes, and is completely random), Mads and I have decided that neither will you (surprise? heh).

As such, keep posting with each other and after the allocated time (we'll estimate from the writing), we'll post as Corbin or Lucy and 'open' the door, ending the thread.

IF you want to include a timeline at the bottom (for example, OOC: it's been one minute in this thread) feel free to, although try and remember that the time they could be locked together is between SEVEN and FIFTEEN minutes (so keeping the count after seven to one minute at a time would be helpful for us <3)

3) Enjoy! <3 If you have questions, feel free to ask me or Maddie. Smile

We hope you enjoy it and that your characters don't suffer -- too much -- from being forced into a small, tight space with random people. Having said that, we're not sorry, and neither are Corbin or Lucy. xD <3

When Corbin announced that Violet would be paired with Jacques for the game, she resisted rolling her eyes. What were the odds... She hadn't spoken to him since the time she'd been with him in the trophy room. And that encounter had left her rather... Confused.

She turned her attention to Corbin, who was making the importance of consent very, very clear, even providing a safe word, insisting they commit it to memory.

"So, what's the word if we don't actually enjoy their company?" she asked, though not expecting an answer. It was more of a sarcastic statement really. But then his expression turned into a smirk, and she took it as a sign to walk past Corbin, pushing open the small door and walking into the- was it a closet? It seemed like it. And once Jacques entered, it'd be quite a tight fit. She leant against the wall, waiting for Jacques to join her.

The party had been... okay, at best, if you asked Jacques. His sister's appearance had somewhat dampened the mood, in truth, but he pretended to not notice her existence. The alcohol was doing well with his system, relaxing him, but definitely not to the point of intoxication.

The evening was passing by with little conversations with random people, but Jacques was keeping his eye on Violet. Checking what she was doing, but never obviously so. Their last meeting had been interesting, but he would not go to her, no.

Time was running out for Jacques, though, as the games began, he watched as four couples entered the room before him - one of which included his sister, and his fellow Slytherin - with mild amusement. Of course, the time would come that it would be his turn, and the options left... well, they were running thin. As his own name was called, Jacques began to slowly move forward, before hearing Violet's name. The smirk on his lips denoted Jacques' amusement at the coincidence of their pairing.

Following the witch in to the (very) small room, Jacques quirked an eyebrow at the witch. "Long time no see, Vi..." He said, not sure in the slightest how this was going to work out after he hadn't seen her since the time he'd kissed her. Being so close to a witch this powerful... even if he could hold his own... made Jacques very conscious of both his words and his actions, but Jacques was still Jacques. "So, are we going to give this a try, or was the last time we met enough for you?" Jacques asked, openly teasing her, because Merlin he didn't care in that moment.

Before being called to join in the game, Violet hadn't paid much attention to Jacques. Nor to anyone really. She wasn't one for small talk, and she didn't bother trying, preferring to stay off to the side, sipping on the drink she'd made herself. Truthfully, she wasn't entirely sure how to approach him after their last meeting.

By the time she had been called, she'd certainly started to feel the affects of the alcohol. She was nowhere near drunk, of course, she wasn't fond of losing control completely.

"Quite a long time," she responded plainly, not particularly wanting to delve into the reason why she hadn't tried to see him again- that being that she couldn't read him as well as other people. She wasn't sure where she now stood with him, and their last meeting had blurred the lines considerably.

His next statement bought a smirk to her lips, "Oh, last time was more than enough," her tone dripping with sarcasm, though she kept a neutral expression as much as she could "That kiss truly and utterly changed my life,"

The sarcastic tone of Violet's threw Jacques off - not outwardly, because he had control of his expressions, and he remained with the smug look he'd had when he'd teased her. But Jacques' mind was working very, very hard to try and work out what the witch was saying.

Ellie was easy to understand, being blunt and straightforward had it's perks, but Violet was different. Violet made Jacques' brain work to try and figure out how to continue. The host - Colin, or whatever his name was - had been quite clear that there was to be no foul play. Not that he intended on such, but he would never, ever, put it past Violet to cry wolf.

"Well... if you're so sure, I suppose this is a waste of both of our time..." Jacques offered, motioning to the door. "Do you think a Bombardment Charm would work, or is it so simple as we can leave?" Jacques posed the question, though, really he was just trying to gain more information from the witch before him. What she wanted. What she didn't...

Usually, Violet would be more than happy to use 'bombardment', or simply walk out. And yet this time, oddly enough, it didn't seem so enticing. Her statement had been more of a jab at the last kiss being 'enough'. It might have been the alcohol slightly clouding her judgement- or more likely just briefly letting her guard down, but she made no effort to even move as he motioned to the door. Instead, she merely shrugged.

"Bombardment would almost certainly work," she replied "The only problem is that I'm not so sure it'd be a waste of time," she added quietly, almost reluctantly. She assumed that whatever happened in the room would stay between them, not dissimilar to their other interactions truthfully.

"I'm game if you are," she said after a short pause, deciding to just go for it, glancing up to him to see how he'd react. It's not like it'd mean anything, not in the long run at least. It was just a game after all, and one that had been getting fairly interesting.

Jacques had listened to all of Violet's spiel. About the use of the Bombardment Spell. About how this wouldn't be a waste of time. About how she was even game to... play this game. Jacques' features had remained impassive at all times, simply watching the witch as she tried to work through whatever was going through her head.

Jacques had not acted upon her words in an instant, though, instead, just keeping his eyes on the witch for a few more moments, in case she was thinking of trying anything that would have him coming worse off.

But nothing happened.

So the Slytherin moved forwards, much like he had the last time he'd kissed her.
The first time he'd kissed her. This time, though, he did not swallow for effect before he leaned in to kiss her. Instead, Jacques simply plunged straight in. His lips firm, but not domineering against hers as he pressed her back against the wall. One hand moved up to cup her cheek, aiding him in being able to change the kiss if he needed to.

Did he like Violet in that way? No.

Did he see anything coming from this other than sexual gratification? No.

But did either of those things matter to Jacques? No.

He was going to make the most of the free pass. There had been so much tension between the two of them, this was an unarguably decent compromise from which they would both reap some kind of benefit.

Jacques was rather difficult to read, much to Violet's frustration. He seemed to be a master of keeping a neutral expression. He hadn't responded straight away, it was almost as though he was waiting for something to happen. But, nothing did. That was until he moved forward and simply, well, did it. He kissed her, and properly this time.

Having been rather (totally) inexperienced, she naturally just followed his lead, moving her lips with his. She let her self lean against the wall comfortably, and found herself placing her hand gently against his cheek, automatically. Kissing was certainly a unique feeling, she hadn't expected it to be particularly enjoyable, so it came as a pleasant surprise. Although enjoyable, she was rather hesitant. She wasn't used to having the lower hand in any sort of situation, and honestly, she didn't like not being certain in what to do.

Slowly, she moved her hand from his cheek to rake her fingers through his hair, her movement gradually becoming more natural as she relaxed more.

Tentative first steps, that was what Jacques could feel from Violet as she kissed him back. It was not like kissing someone who knew exactly what they wanted, he could feel her following him. But, Jacques didn't mind that, not in the slightest. If this was Violet's first time... The idea that he had the upper hand was making Jacques enjoy this more as he continued to maintain the kisses.

Not deepening them just yet because his head was enjoying the idea of taking - Jacques had taken - Violet's kiss was amusing him. He'd thought of her as much more experienced in truth, with the confidence she exhumed.

As Violet's hand moved to his hair, Jacques noted the confidence growing in the witch, and slowly slid his tongue across her lips, asking without words for access so that he could deepen the kiss. Not that he would ask in any situation. Though, before he gained access, Jacques lips moved to the Hufflepuff's ear, teeth gently grazing her earlobe, Jacques spoke gently. "Are you sure this is what you want, Violet?" He teased softly, because he doubted very much the witch knew what she was getting herself in for.

Violet found herself growing more and more confident with each passing moment. She hadn't realised just how tense she had been beforehand until she began to loosen up. And the kissing was enjoyable. But it was when Jacques broke the kiss, to murmur in her ear. It was the feeling of his teeth skimming against her ear, his breath hot as he spoke that sent shivers down her spine. She almost just let herself melt into him. Almost. No, Violet didn't let herself fall completely for anyone. It was just some fun, a game at a party with a boy who could, okay, if she was being honest, mess things up for her quite badly.

She opened her eyes and glanced up to him "I'm sure," she replied, her voice just as soft as his. It was kissing, not a particularly big deal, to Violet anyway. People kissed all the time, it had simply not been a priority to her beforehand. No, she had bigger things to worry about than her first kiss.
