A Dance With The Siren (Black Severin vs Siren Serena - Standard Match)

[DSX93]

Black Severin was working his way up the ramp at this point, medical assistants following closely to either side of him but allowing him to make the walk on his own as per his request. The fanfare he received wasn't as quite as energetic as it was for the blonde beauty that had bested him, but it was more than enough to make him smile nonetheless. This had gone better than he first thought it would, by leaps and bounds.

Not long after entering the backstage are did the same doctor who had just moments ago checked in on Serena approach Severin to do the same. After giving the doctor a description of what was going on with him and asking for something to take for the pain, he was invited to the man's office, wherein he would assess the damage in more detail. They were approaching the corner when Severin saw her.

He stopped, and just being able to do that -- wanting to do that instead of following him the rest of the way told him that whatever it was that was going on inside of him wasn't that bad.

"I'll uh...I'll catch up with you in a minute, sir."

His eyes never left her as he spoke, making it very easy for the doctor to connect the dots.

"Of course." He looked back at Severin with a knowing grin and gave him a departing pat on the shoulder. "Feel free to stop by anytime."

"Yeah. I'll do that. Thank you."

His tired legs carried him over to her. On their own, it almost felt like. It wasn't until he'd finally closed in on her that he realized that he'd forgotten about a very, very important detail:

He needed something to say.

Shit!

"Hey, there." He shyly began.

Shit...Right, the match! The match!

"I just wanna say thank you for the match. It was a hell of a contest."

There we go.

Disaster averted.

Serena waited for some more time resting against a wall trying to look as dignified as possible in her situation. Now that she had been having a break for some instants she could feel her energy coming back, at least enough energy to keep walking and do her post-match routines, but now that the adrenaline was dying out all her limbs were starting to feel sore and overly strained. Definitely the next day was going to be a complicated one.

For some more minutes the Siren waited, but two voices echoing through the ramp hinted Severin and the doctor arriving backstage. From there she only needed one look, a grin and the man quickly dismissed the doctor to face her. Seeing a powerful, strong man as Severin having issues to approach and talk to her was cute in a way Serena liked. Some other man made that look pathetic, but there was something endearing to it in this case. "Hey there, you.", said Serena mirroring Severin's words. "Always so polite, but you are right. It was an exciting match and I couldn't have wished for more. Don't think bad about losing at your debut, it was a good show and that matters. Believe me, I know how that feels like." The blonde said this in a tone that hinted that maybe she could be wishing for more just right now, as she straightened her body and offered Severin a friendly handshake.

[DSX93]

Severin readily accepted her handshake, accepting her kind words with a nod. There was something about the way she spoke of not being able to wish for more out of their match, however. Something in her tone that felt uncertain of that, but not necessarily in a bad way.

He couldn't quite put his finger on it -- connect the dots in his head.

"I'm not the kind of guy to throw a fit over losing to a lady. It was an honor to go up against one who's so strong."

The words felt cheesy as all hell coming out, but it was how he felt.

Serena had a feelint at Severin's hand while they shook hands. His grip was firm but gentle and his skin was smooth as is that of one that moisturizes it. The blonde's grin turned into a sultry one. "Well speaking of strong..." her digits gave a squeeze to his hand and then she started reaching upwards with two fingers, making a walking motion with them through his arm, his biceps and to his shoulder. "You know what bothers me?", she would say while feeling his biceps, her hand trailing to his shoulder and from there to cup his cheek. "While I have been there showing all my pain and tribulations on my pretty face you were hiding yours with this thing all the time! How fair is that? I want to see what's behind Black Severin's mask...", she would say in a clearly seductive tone as her hand would trail to undo the man's mask.

[DSX93]

Oh, that smile. Severin didn't stand a chance against it. That alone was enough for him to become aware of his heartbeat, and her touch acted as extra weight on the gas. From that little walk up his shoulder with her fingers, to her hand caressing his bicep, gliding along to his shoulder...It was pounding in his chest when her hand finally settled upon his cheek. Like his legs, his hand started operating independently of his conscious mind until it was halfway to his subconscious' goal.

Feeling emboldened by Serena's initiative, he lifted it the rest of the way, laying it tenderly over hers. His other hand reached for her waist and pulled her closer to him, just as gently. In the end, the two would look a lot more like lovers, rather than strangers who'd just walked away from a battle bearing a mutual attraction to go along with the bruises.

Her contralto voice was like honey to his rapt ears. A matter of course, with her nickname. His eyes couldn't decide whether they would stick to her beautiful blues or those oh so kissable lips. But as they struggled with that decision, he would not miss a single word of the point she made about his mask.

It wasn't a bad one. And quite fair, considering that she won their match. But...

Severin let out a quiet gasp and stopped her hand with a swift movement when she reached for it. But only for as much time as it took for him to scan the area.

What luck: Not another soul! With that, he released her hand, redirecting his to its place opposite his other on her waist.

"Sorry. I'm cool with you seeing it, but just you."

Feeling assured of that now, at least for the next few seconds, he stood in place, allowing her to satisfy her curiosity.

Serena was a woman that knew what she wanted and how to get it. The blonde would never run around the bush or shy away from her conquests. She would always take a straightforward and sultry approach, playing a game of seduction and enticement until her partners were almost mesmerized by her charms, and that was exactly what was happening right now with Severin. The Siren's spell was working on him as she noticed his eyes going from her eyes to her lips, almost as if he could lose control, as if Serena was too much a temptation to resist.

"Jackpot."

"Whoah, easy Tiger!", said Serena pressing her hand against Severin's chest when the man wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. It wasn't as if she wanted him to stop. Then came a hesitant but true unmasking and Serena was more than pleased with the face she saw behind that mask. She had seen enough from Severin and tested his character several times before reaching a pretty evident conclusion: she liked the man as a partner. "Sooo, now that you showed me your face, how about we show each other a little more?", said the Siren with a playful melody in her voice. "What do you say about us getting out of here and having an encore?" When she said this, Serena would get so close to Severin's ear and whispered some of her plans for the night, something only for his ears to hear, sealing her offer.

[DSX93]

Now that was a scare. When Serena suddenly moved to stop him from pulling her too close, he thought he'd gone too far and ruined the moment. But her tone, her wording -- calling him "tiger" -- and most importantly, that beautiful smile never disappearing from her face had all come together to keep him at ease. She spoke again before he could offer an apology, and what she had to say next had almost frozen him solid.

Oh, my God. Said the Agnostic Atheist in his head.

More? She wants more? With him?

Of all the men in the world that she could have, she wants him?

Is this a dream? It wouldn't be the first time that something was going this well for him with an absolute goddess of a woman, then just when it was about to get good, he'd open his eyes. Realize then that it was nothing more than fantasy, then snap his eyes shut in a sad attempt at getting back to his dream woman for just a few minutes longer. And then breathe a frustrated sigh, because by then, it's already too late.

Hell, it had just happened to him a couple days ago.

The Siren leaned in close so her proposition would reach no one's ears but his. Severin's jaw was about ready to hit the floor when he heard it. Along with the rest of his body from the heart attack she was trying to give him before they could even see each other again.

No, this wasn't a dream. There was a God, and He had called him Home after he'd died at some point.

That's what it felt like, anyway. This was just...

It was perfect. Too perfect. There had to be some kind of catch. Some kind of bullshit that Lady Luck had laying in wait for him.

But still...He just couldn't pass this up. He just had to see it through. Try.

"Y-yeah!" He turned his head to clear his throat and regain his composure so he doesn't sound too much like some hard-up loser. "Yeah. That sounds lovely."

A breeze came through the halls, blowing into and reminding him of his naked face. "And by the way, since you've seen my face, you should know my name too. I'm Terrell. Terrell Hughes."

[PurpleMage]

Serena was one who really enjoyed the act of seducing men. For her the conquest of partners was a fun, exciting activity that prepared the ground for some even more exciting sexy fun later. Most of the male and female partners she managed to get used to be pretty receptive towards her advances, and being honest the blonde would lose interest in the rest, but Severin was a special case. The Siren couldn't help but feel that the aura of incredulity surrounding the man was endearing and cute. Surely there was a dark story behind something like that coming from a big and strong man, but Serena wasn't there to get that. What the blonde wanted she was just about to get it, and Terrel looked so nervous about it Serena thought he was on the verge of collapsing when he agreed to her offer.

"Well Terrel Hughes, I suggest you go now and get all that sweat out of your body and take my number. There's a cool place I can show you. Let's just meet there in a couple days and we can get sweaty again..." Serena would leave with a smile on her face, swaying her hips because she was sure Terrel would be looking at her. Now it was time for a refreshing shower, some rest and reflecting on that night's match before they would meet again in way different circumstances.

That had been a pretty interesting night.
