The Sun did <em>not</em> forbid its fiery birds from interfering with mortals, or other, magical beings, but it did encourage distance. Sometimes the distance made Cleo feel a bit… alien. And, rather quickly, she was learning that caring for an inn and all of its residents could make Spade feel a little… well, alien too. “Oh you… You do not have to…” the phoenix started as the elegant man kissed her hand several times, her mind still lost in his promises of 'accident prevention', before he intertwined their grasps and pulled her in close. Apparently he was a bit more… <em>lonely</em> than even Cleo had anticipated.<br/><br/>Even if Spade said had ways of protecting his inn from her immortal flame, the phoenix was still <em>very</em> careful not to burn his floating candles too hot. But when his other hand danced along her chin and carried her bright hazel eyes into his shimmering green ones, the phoenix couldn’t help but heat up with anticipation; the candle wicks flickered with big flames of gold and red. <em>The inn keeper did not disappoint, and wasn’t the least bit shy either.</em> His smooth lips reminded her of lavish gardens she had flown through in the past. Cleo met him, <em>hungry</em> kiss for <em>hungry</em> kiss, slowly closing her own eyes as they settled into one another. Against her, his initial touches felt cool and the burning bird welcomed the temperature change, snuggling her hot, naked thigh into his pant leg as he pulled her closer still, nibbling at his bottom lip between lusty kisses. Spade’s chest, though fully clothed, felt firm…. So, <em>so</em> firm, and cool again. She rubbed the palm of her free, dainty hand against the buttons of his white dress shirt, wanting them to open. <br/><br/>When the larger man prodded at her hot, wet mouth with his tongue, Cleo willingly opened her lips ever so <em>slowly</em>, and then… Her brunette hair turned towards Spade, still smoky from the inn’s chimney, as she looked at the well-dressed figure who had, innocently, interrupted them. The phoenix could not sense magical auras, but his last kiss was still hungry enough to let Cleo know that Spade <em>was</em> reluctant to assist his latest guest. The mention of ‘sweetheart’ earned the inn keeper a very warm nuzzle on the chin, first with her nose, then with a quick lick of her tongue, more bird than human. Cleo, being an observant and kind phoenix, was perfectly fine to wait. Her hand squeezed Spade’s, pressing more of her warmth into his clothed, upper thigh -- a sensual reassurance -- as the inn keeper greeted the newcomer with no more annoyance than anyone else. “I can also assure you,” she smiled at Malleus warmly as she cuddled her back into Spade, nearly sitting in his lap, “this Spade you seek is a very grand kisser as well.”<br/><br/>“I’m Cleo, and if you know <em>what</em> I am, then you know bowing to me is unnecessary. But I do hope the mortals you have left behind aren’t in any grave danger.” Cleo continued to address Malleus with a smile and <em>genuine</em> interest, as her backside pressed against Spade, smaller body traipsed over his, heating the inn keeper to a rather cozy temperature. “I, shall we say, am many things to them too. Though, if you are as tired as you say, then perhaps it is best to discuss such things at a later time… Then again, I am quite curious to know the possible scents of your accommodations?” It was only then that the phoenix remembered to cross her bare, sun-kissed legs, though her cleavage was still prominent and semi-exposed for Malleus to see. “I have a feeling mine would be…" Cleo thought for a moment, marveling at the idea of magically, individually-scented rooms, "Chocolate and evergreen pine.” Another smile, caught between Spade and the newcomer.</span>
