Kade had never been royalty, but the position he took looked that confident, almost regal as he watched the lawyer.  Not a single movement was taken for granted, either.  He analyzed everything, from the way Dorian’s fingers brushed his well-kept suit when he reached for the pen to the way those grey eyes moved as they sought the next signature line already marked out for him. The man was far too attractive for a scoundrel, but then there were some snakes that were flashier than others.<br/><br/>This one seemed to be behaving remarkably well.  Kade hadn’t missed the look he’d received when he’d first showed up, nor the slight strain of the swallowing.  Dorian hadn’t taken the bait back at<i>Satama</i>, but he was awfully tempted there, or so it seemed.<br/><br/>“That’s a relief,” Kade replied to the lawyer’s assessment of the case.  And it was.  There was more to be gained in letting things drag on for a while, but he really did feel for poor Jacob.  The man didn’t really deserve what was happening.  Kade had never intended to let him take full responsibility, however, and would’ve gotten him out of the mess one way or another.  If Dorian managed to do it on his own, then all the better.  The vampire stood and accepted the handshake, though he might’ve let his own hand linger a little more than necessary, testing his theory and planting a seed.  His fingers brushed the palm of Dorian’s hand as they parted.<br/><br/>“And you… Mr. Michaelson,” he replied with an agreeable, though somewhat sly smile.<br/><br/>He hadn’t fed, but he felt a bit of heat.  It was the rush of it all, the game, the cat-and-mouse.  Kade was enjoying it too much, considering it was supposed to be for revenge.<br/><br/>A breath after the man had left, Kade was gone.  There was no way he could just lie around in the damned basement all night, daydreaming about everything.  He wanted to act.  He wanted to taste that man and see just how delicious his serpent-blood was, or if he was just as repulsive as he should’ve been.  With a scent like that, though…  No, he was bound to taste like euphoria itself.<br/><br/>He’d been to Dorian’s home already, so it was easy enough to track it down without tailing him.  There was less of a chill in the air, tonight.  It was thick, and the clouds were heavy overhead, preparing to spill out into the city.  Kade loved the rain.  His night was just getting better and better.
