A slender barmaid set a series of tankards on the table where a group of men played cards in the corner.  She had been withdrawing her hand from the final drink when a hand caught her own.  Darius’s gaze met hers, his eyes smoldering but his smile was gentle.  “Excuse me, but would you be so kind as to tell me the name of the beautiful creature that ensures we are well supplied with this fine brew.”<br/><br/>The woman looked into his eyes entranced for a brief moment.<em>“I uh… My names is Ahnissa.”</em><br/><br/>His smile widened, lips pulling back slightly, barely showing his teeth.  “Well, Ahnissa.  I feel that I must thank you.  Ever since you’ve been delivering us our drinks, my luck has improved significantly.  Never before have I had such as winning streak.”  Darius brought his lips to meet the back of her hand.  The incubus’ kiss sent a bolt of pleasure through her body, causing her back to arch and her breath to freeze in ecstasy.  Although the kiss had been brief, Ahnissa’s face had flushed and Darius could make out two peaks in her blouse that hadn’t been there a second earlier.  “Thank you.”<br/><br/>Darius’ hand slid from hers, leaving a small silver coin in its place as he turned to face his cards once again.    The woman stammered incoherently for a few moments before she cleared her head with a few deep breaths before walking away with a little more liveliness to her step.<br/><br/><em>”Are you done, Darius?”</em><br/><br/>The incubus grinned mischievously as he addressed the man across from him.  “Sorry, just had to grab a quick snack.”  He laid his hand on the table, revealing his cards.  “Four kings.”  There was a small uproar from the corner of the room as his three opponents protested their misfortune.
