Thread: Capturing A Phantom (Athene & AlluringEnigma)

Elena Belrose Elena remained perfectly still, especially while the cuffs were being removed. Admittedly, there was a brief moment of time after the metal bracelets were taken off her wrists that, honestly, Elena was seriously considering lunging forward. Tackling this bitch. Why the fuck should she really play along? She had no guarantees of anything , really. Certainly not whether Zara would keep being 'fair' during this entire exchange. As a woman herself, the Interpol agent knew fully well how dangerous the phenomenon known as 'mood swings' could be. And if she's got a bad case of them ... then ... Things could end horribly for her in a heartbeat, if not quicker. So why not make sure it couldn't ? ... Maybe if there was only one shotgun to worry about. Maybe . But there were too many chances for Zara to get her way first. Elena clenched her fists tightly, taking a long breath through her nose as she tried to stay calm. It didn't get rid of her fury, but the exhale at least kept her from doing anything overly rash or stupid. If La Fleur had only thought Elena looked irritated, she knew she wasn't seeing things. You conniving, arrogant bitch ... All things considered, the price was smaller than it could have been. Still, it was just as Zara noted. Elena was indeed prideful. That would be her deadly sin, more likely than not. The closest second would easily be Wrath. Either way, the two were already all but manifesting, almost literally covering Elena's body as she forced herself to obey and crawled over, stopping when she arrived in front of Zara. Yeah, she confessed through gritted teeth, It definitely has been a while. She would admit that much for free, but only that. Or so she tried to promise herself it wouldn't be anything else. It took every ounce of will power to keep from raising a hand and slapping La Fleur's hands away from her hair. So, to help out for the moments she almost gave up, she gripped her kneecaps, clenching her fists tightly to ensure they didn't leave their spot. Just let her have her damn fun. So far ... well ... she's at least keeping her promise ... Slowly, Elena closed her eyes, taking long, deep breaths through both nose and mouth. The blue orbs quickly shot back open, however, as she caught the next order. It was so gentle in volume that she damn well nearly missed it. ... That bitch did not just ask me to ... did she?! It wouldn't be her very first kiss ever. First in a while, no doubt. And, truthfully, first with a woman in such an intimate manner. ... Technicalities aside, that wasn't what was making Elena hesitate. It's just one stupid kiss! It won't mean anything! ... Still, was it worth giving her what she wanted? This was something only for La Fleur's sake. Definitely not her own, at least not in the carnal desires department. Her head bowed as the grip on her patellas tightened. By now, Elena's grip had strengthened, even become a bit painful to her own body. Despite it, she held on. Only when she agreed on a verdict did she slowly - finally - let go. No verbal warning was giving, though Zara may hear the set of curses screaming and echoing in Elena's head. The agent pushed herself up to her knees, making their faces closer to one another. A soft swallow would be heard, simply because of the lack of distance separating the two. ... And finally, she would feel Elena press her lips on top of La Fleur's. It wasn't a quick peck either, like she may have planned for. It was actually deep, more akin to what a lover would have given. The simple gesture disgusted and aroused poor Elena all at once. Alas, this was the easiest way to ensure she wouldn't have any loopholes or technicalities used against her. Elena had to go big or go home. It was just that simple The kiss would continue for almost a full minute before Elena fully pulled away, gasping and panting. Not too quickly, but her breathing was definitely faster than normal. There, Elena managed to say in the most civil tone she could muster, Happy?
