Anthony accepted the ring with a smile.  Very suitable.  He had noticed where Alex had put the ring.  Interesting.  Either Alex was merely playing along or he'd started to respond to Anthony's subtle influences.  Either way, however, was an improvement.  If it was only Alex playing along, then Anthony would have to see about making it not a game.  For now, though, it was a start.<br/><br/>He slipped the ring onto his own left ring finger.  It was a good fit; not perfect, but not too tight.  He looked at the ring.  Good craftsmanship.  It showed good taste on the part of Alex.  More proof that his choice of prey was a good one.<br/><br/>As Alex began to gather up what he thought they would need for the evening, Anthony watched him move around.  He noticed that Alex's movements were taking him all over the apartment.  Perhaps Alex was worried about where they were going.  Or, maybe he was thinking too much about Anthony.  The thought made Anthony smirk slightly.<br/><br/>When Alex looked towards where Anthony had been, Anthony was no where to be seen.  Anthony cleared his throat, drawing Alex's attention to where he was.<br/><br/>"You mean these?” Anthony said, standing next to the desk, the keys Alex had tossed onto the desk dangling from his finger.  He gave a smile to Alex as he walked over to him.  When he reached the other man, Anthony dropped the keys into his hand.<br/><br/>“I assume you oversee your work accounts better than your own keys, Alex,”  Anthony said as he affectionately patted Alex's cheek.  He didn't let his fingers linger, though he let his mind feel out Alex's reaction to his brief touch.  As he considered what he felt from the other man, Anthony moved towards the door to the apartment.  The dark suit he wore shifted colors ever so slightly as he walked through the lights and shadows of the apartment.  He glanced back towards Alex when he reached the door, an eyebrow arched up.<br/><br/>"Shall we?” Anthony said.  He held his arm out, the crook of his arm waiting for Alex to take, if he chose to do so of course.
