When the voice came out of the darkness, It took every single bit of will power he had to keep himself from trying to jump at of his chair. It was one thing to be taken advantage of while he was alone another thing entirely while there was an audience watching. Instinctively Alex's pride wanted to challenge the voice come up with something smart to say to prove that he wasn't. But instinctively he kept his mouth shut as it probably wouldn't go over well if he started popping off in public. Alex let out a small sigh mixed both pleasure and relief as he felt Lilliums hands moving upward along his body and then he felt a little disappointed when he she moved away.<br/><br/>Alex blinked a bit surprised as to what he was hearing. Hadn't he just said he was single? Obviously that was not what she heard... or was it that she was just embarrassed of being caught playing with a human by her sister. Whatever was going on,  it was too early to jump in, besides as things were at the moment he decided it would be best for some of his station to keep quiet. Lillium had said as her retainer, he was treated AS IF he was an equal and he was pretty sure this wasn't one of those As IF moments.<br/><br/>Alex glanced nervously at the two woman as he silently  tucked his shirt back in and began straightening his suit and tie, and then paused when Lillium mentioning that she was starving. Alex swallowed hard and glanced worriedly over toward the brunette as she mentioned extracting blood from him.<br/><br/>Alex took off his outer coat, then laid it across his lap and sighed. Obviously he was expecting that his blood would extracted by IV needle and served in a glass instead. That was when the alarms began going off in his head, as the women began talking about him as he had been the one trying to seduce the queen! His eyes went wide in shock at Lillium's remark about him being trouble and yet he still wasn't sure if it would be his place to speak.<br/><br/>However when Lillium left the dinner table, Alex's face went red and he glared up at Maven angrily. "I heard you. Lillium already told me and Maybe I like danger," Alex responded in a cool hard voice that strained too keep from raging. He wanted to shout at the woman and tell her to mind her own business that he wasn't together with that girl anymore and that he had been trying to break up with her for some time!<br/><br/>Just when Alex thought he was about to explode and start shouting at the eavesdropping Brunette but then suddenly she offered him a million dollars cash! Suddenly all the hot air and frustration subsided and he stared at her blankly... she then offered him two million cash,....he blinked.... and then blinked again, before letting out a slow cleansing breath to regather his wits.<br/><br/>Alex reached out for the wine bottle and calmly poured the crimson fluid into his empty glass...filling just about it was nearly over flowing.  "Two million to leave the Queen," he mused out loud taking a small drink from the glass. "IF what you are saying is true about her being a demoness and all... not mention that she is the Queen! I would have to flee the country," he began and then took another larger sip. "And say she did let me, or I got out of the country, I can't take that much cash to the bank I would be arrested. I might as well steal the silverware while I am here. Besides how long do you think I would live out on the street with a brief case full of cash?  I would be lucky if I just get beaten up and thrown into the gutter," he laughed, and paused again to take another full gulp.<br/><br/>Alex's bright green eyes glinted, as he was feeling rather a bit bolder and more relaxed now. "Besides, staying here is more fun! and I am not with that bitch! ... besides after she left me chained to the bed, she shot my dog!  I hate her! of course thats not something people should talk about at dinner!" he explained clearly still a little distraught about the whole thing. He glanced over to the wine bottle but it was empty, "So the queen can have her! I hate her!" he cursed.<br/><br/>And then when had spoken his piece he thrust out his arm and rolled up his sleeve.  "Go on! Take it! I will show you! I am not afraid you or your sister!" he declared loudly.... loud enough for anyone else who might be listening outside or hiding in the room as Maven had been.
