With a bit of a hang dog look, Salai nodded, agreeing with Analise's estimation of his luck in love. "No, apparently, I'm not so loveable," he lamented self depricatingly as  Analise took another sip from her lager. "Then again, perhaps tonight is the why behind it all?" he added with dashes of hope and playfulness in his tone. He gasped and look wounded at the accusation she threw his way. "Me? A cad?? Perish the thought. Do you know how impossibly rare and precious you are?" he asked genuinely interested in her answer to the question, as he was deeply under the spell of the golden haired tempress he was drinking with.<br/><br/>"After? Why, we'll have breakfast, I'd say," he answered impishly, his eyes roaming over her face and her body, caressing her with his hot, hungry gaze. In some ways it was the attention he was paying her that had him notice the subtle shifts in her energy and the pull between them as another desire began to war with her passions for him. He didn't exactly know what it was, but he could feel her pulling away just a little as she played her nails up and down her arm.<br/><br/>Salai took another pull from his pint glass and savored the rich amer liquid it contains. "...well, I'm fighting the urge to just drag you off somewhere nearby and private... but my place isn't<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>far," he offers as he leans in close so his warm breath played over her tender throat. "Listen, you probably need a smoke, and this place is smoke free. I can get the check and meet you outside in a few minutes," he whispered into her ear, then brushed his lips along the curves of it. "Sound like a plan?"<br/>he asked as he sat back and finished his beer giving her time to compose her thoughts and make her choice.
