Three hundred fifty. It's five for the sailors, but you get the good-looks discount. He replied with a smirk, walking in after her with a slow confidence. As a rule, Robert didn't kid with people, but something about her made him feel playful. There was a funny little kid in her trying to eek its way out, and she encouraged the child in him to come out and play. It was fun to get to smile. There was no acting silly around his friends, they had come to expect a certain straight-faced solidity, and deviation from that was almost always perceived as cracks in his foundation. They didn't like that. Here, there was no testing. At least not the kind he was used to. Women, real women, wanted different things. They were things he had to give, actually, pieces he was more than willing to share, but it was hard to get past the hard-faced women who frequented the bars and strip clubs he and his brothers-at-arms inevitably cycled back to, week after week. Her apartment was like a breath of fresh air. I rented Snatch , actually. It was more or less a standby for him. Not incredibly unlike Fight Club he could watch the movie over and over, never get bored, always find new things. It was the kind of film that people were amazed to see the first time and were happy to see a second. Something fun enough to be engaging but serious enough to demand attention. He'd put more thought into the choice than he'd readily admit. You look fantastic. He added, happy to watch her ass move away from him in the tight denim. Robert was also happy to let her catch him, his face alight with a boyish smile, pleased with himself, getting away with being bad. I like those shoes. It had been a long time since he'd flirted, in the conventional sense, playfully and unabashedly flirted. Tough men were supposed to let women come to them, be silent, even a little belligerent and moody. He'd learned that from his father. It wasn't fun. He moved in beside her, reaching up high to bring down the two glasses and set them on the counter. Is that a bordeaux, or...? It was obvious he didn't know what he was talking about from his grin. Yep. He could feel it now. Robert was very nervous. I think I've had that kind before, actually. It was a little, uh... The tannins, they were too much. I don't like that stuff. He smiled wider, wetting his lips and moving to the opposite side of the counter. It's too earthy for me. You might as well just pour it out now. I'm not gonna drink that.

Snatch ? she inquired, never had heard of the title before. She shook her head at the wide grin that had formed upon his face, though she had enjoyed his eyes appraisingly on her and his comments. Tara was glad for the heels now, once his feelings of them had been made evident. A little bubble of success filled her, sustaining her for a while. Well, until he mentioned the wine. She was sure he was kidding, but still he shook her nerves slightly as he mentioned it. Her wine knowledge was nil, and it seemed his was too, but what if he was a secret connoisseur? She had simply picked out the wine, many months ago, because it had an interesting logo, but she always came back to it. Taking the risk, she pored him a glass and handed it to him, not letting him see her anxiety by giving him a playful smile, You'll drink it anyways. Once she had sufficiently dished out the food he had purchased, for an army it seemed, onto their plates Tara wasn't sure where they would be located. Table or couch? she asked. The table would be more classy and romantic, but the couch would be comfortable and possibly more romantic than the table. If they started at the couch, they would be inclined to begin the movie and that would take away time they could spend getting to know each other better... Thoughts swirled throughout her head, she was worrying about the tiniest of things, it was ridiculous.

I like that. He grinned at the attitude in her declaration, tasting the wine with a sip. He'd seen people sniff, swirl and even slurp the stuff before. Tastes like wine. He nodded his approval, taking his Chinese to the table on reflex. I can't eat in front of the TV. He admitted, sifting through the noodles and rice with his fork. Makes the back of my knuckles ache. Grandma hated it. His big fist flexed, the scars lining the bone where he indicated were many and thick. I can still feel that ruler, boy. He shook his head, chuckling to himself. My loss is your gain. I'm pretty well broken in. Lifting the small glass, he held the delicate thing in his hand the way you'd hold any cup, his index finger an inch or so below the rim. To happy coincidence. He said with what he hoped was a charming and believable smile. There is an uneasy thrill in doing something you know will eventually crash down around you, but when a person lies, that lie must be upheld at all costs. The only way he could stay with her , well... He couldn't ever introduce her to her friends, which would begin to seem odd after a while. And if he stopped responding to his friends, they'd have to come looking for him. It wasn't a question of loyalty and care, either. He'd seen things. Done things. If he vanished, he was a threat, and deviation from the pack was historically only dealt with one of two ways. Charlie in particular, though he'd die for Robert in a threatening situation literally die for him, willingly and happily. There's no way Robert could just walk away and move across town without fear of pursuit and likely death. He'd need to leave town. Maybe the state. Maybe the country. Tara could never know, and they could never know her. Maybe... Maybe if he could convince her. If she came to love him, if he got an opportunity elsewhere even the illusion of one, he could convince her to come with him. He could retire. Tell the boys he was done, it was over, retire undefeated he could buy them with his share, on one last big job, do something to make sure they know he wasn't going out on his own with a new crew or turning state's witness. Two, really, one for his retirement and the other to dissuade the boys. If he did it, though... If he did it... Robert's eyes changed as he looked across the table at this enchanting, beautiful young woman, and he reminded himself they were on a first date. Can I say something? He wet his lips, tilting his head at her. I'm already here, so you know I'm not trying to get your number. I just... He winced, and smiled a bit wider. You're really different. You know that? You're really... Good. You seem like a good person. Nodding thoughtfully, he searched her eyes. I like you.

She followed him to the table and watched as yet another once of his scars were but on show. She shook her head, his own grandmother beat him as a child no wonder he was so refined. All my grandma ever taught me was that I was to give candy to my granddaughter. And how to flip the bird at lude men, she laughed gently, but she couldn't help but feel a tinge of pain for him. Her heart already had already programed his pain along with hers. Upon realizing that she internally scolded herself, telling her she was moving to fast and that twinge was sympathy. And simply that. Her fingertips longed to run themselves over those small white ridges, as if to erase them from his memory. instead, they idled upon her fork and then to her glass as he toasted. Something she never did. But she rose her glass to the occasion and gave him a grin. That it was. And she took a sip, knowing fully well it wouldn't take her many to begin loosening up. Her little body didn't need much alcohol to feel the effects. But as he spoke, she was tempted to pinch herself and wonder if she had drank more of the wine without knowing it. Tara hadn't though. She wasn't sure what he meant by 'good' but the last part she understood clearly. She felt the heat in her cheeks rise suddenly and cursed herself for so, though with her pale skin it wasn't hard. Tara looked down in attempt to hide it but her smile persevered past her bashfulness. She tugged on her lip gently as she attempted to form her words correctly, I like you quite a bit too. As soon as the words left her mouth she wanted to pull them from the air. 'Quite a bit'? Good lord, he's going to think you're desperate! Her face was back looking down into her food once again, her cheeks running hotter. She took another sip, no, gulp, of wine and began spinning her rice around her plate with her fork.

There it was. He didn't try hiding his smile, admiring the way her admission brought color to her cheeks and embarrassment into her eyes. His hand wanted to cup her chin, tilt her head back, soothe her cheek with his thumb and tuck away the hair she hid behind. This, of course, would have been intensely creepy, so instead he fed himself a few more bites of chow and let the moment stretch. It should have been an awkward silence, but he rather liked it. So let me ask you something. He interrupted the heavy weight with a jovial tone, lifting his glass again, sipping quietly. How is it you don't have a boyfriend? The glass made a hollow sound when it returned to the ring of perspiration he'd made with it. I know that's a lame line, but I'm curious. Did you just get out of a relationship? Don't ask about past boyfriends, Robert... You're pretty, you're fun... Either you're just unlucky or I'm about to find out you're a secret nun. The food went away at a steady pace. His plate was already about a quarter clean, and in drinking again he reminded himself not to be too greedy with the wine. It would take the bottle and then some for him to feel its effects, but experience had taught him that women were best left to drink the majority of whatever was around. Frankly, he didn't need the encouragement, and too much alcohol had... adverse effects on some men, Robert having found himself to be of that creed in the past.

Thankful for the reprieve from the silence she looked up to watch his smile spread with her embaressment. He thought it was cute. Finally she embarked on her food as he spoke. He was so different from other men, from manners to the way he spoke to her and what he spoke to her of. And she wasn't sure what he did in construction but it had to make some money, reminded by her dainty bracelet that fell around her wrist and the phone that still only held his contact. Ah, boyfriends, she sighed finally, I haven't had one for quite some time actually. Taking another sip of her wine, finding it was gone after that sip, prompted her next response, Between one night stands, some of the morning walks of shame done by yours truly, I haven't exactly had the greatest impact on the male Population. And thought they like to 'conquer the little blonde firecracker' they don't exactly want to stick around for, she paused, Say, dinner. And neither would I. She didn't mention that after the robbery she hadn't had much faith left for men. Well, until he came around and treated her like he did. Like a person. Her face did not return to her plate. The wine had given her a false, given the circumstances of her nerves, confidence that had only existed before the robbery. And though she figured he was not familar with it, she was very well acquainted with that feeling and fed upon it more than her food. But you're different. Or at least inthink you are, she took a bite of her food to make her mouth shut somehow as she regretted the wine already. Tara didn't know that he valued her softness though, her innocence, and if she had known of that she would then wondered if it had changed her in his eyes.

Nobody caught your fancy yet, huh? He nodded. I know the feeling. Most of these people out here, he motioned over his shoulder toward the window, grimacing dismissively. Heads up their asses. Nobody looks at each other any more, you know? Looking into your average person's eyes... He shook his head, smirking to himself. You ever look into a goat's eyes? Or like a cow, or something? It's like that. Dumb recognition. All anybody thinks about is what you're good for. Picking through another few bites, he drank again. See, I look at you, in, ah... In that grocery store? It probably wasn't smart to bring up that moment of weakness, but he wanted to get the ball rolling a bit. Usually you see a lady crying, you step aside, right? She's got enough to deal with. But I look at you, in one second I know how strong you are. Weak people just hit the ground and cry without shame. I've seen plenty of people cry. Weak people crying is easy. It's almost casual. They don't care. They were probably going to do it no matter what. But crying like that? It doesn't really happen like that until you've been fighting it a good while. Probably didn't feel so strong, when you did it. Was he way out of line? Looked like the strongest thing I've seen in a while. He ate a bit more. Character. Swallowing, he put a fist in front of his mouth, realizing he'd spoken with food in his mouth. A person can be ugly, stupid, mean, whatever... Character. That's what's important. You got it, honey. He spooned down more, careful not to scrutinize her overly while he spoke. I knew the second I saw you. Doesn't hurt you're smart and pretty and nice, either. Again, he shook his head. Just goes to show, nobody scoopin' you up yet. Again, he motioned as though he were throwing a ball over his shoulder, indicating the window, the people outside. Heads up their asses.

Her body tensed at the thought of the supermarket. It was her moment of weakness, and she was protective of it. Even as he talked about her strength the thought of her pain still lingered. Tara didn't think everyone's head was up their ass, but she was sure that some of them were. Her eyes went to her food, unsure of really what to say. With another bite she glanced back up at him. I never really wanted to be scooped up, I guess. I don't really let anyone come in to my apartment twice either... she gave him a grin and scrunched up her nose slightly, letting him know that she had let him further then most. Her heart was aflutter once again, lifting her spirits from the memory. Her eyes sparkled with a mischief that wasn't there a moment before, she wanted to move from that moment. That time of weakness. The weakness that made him take notice of her. Perhaps it wasn't so bad after all.

You could be anybody. But I don't see a nice guy who helps a frail little thing get her groceries exactly as a big threat. Or maybe I should. Oh well, she grinned at him, knowing full well that the last time he was over she would do anything to keep his company. The same seemed to be showing itself now. He was a tad inconsiderate with his words, but the tipsy Tara didn't notice all too much. She was too busy basking in the rays of his attention to really listen to the tone and inflection of his words. Her stomach was full, so she set her fork down and placed her hands into her lap. When she thought about it, she wasn't sure where she wanted their night to go. She could turn up the sex appeal and they could be in the bedroom before the movie titles appeared. Or she could sit awkwardly with him on the couch, attempting to snuggle up to him without seeming to clingy. She tugged at her lip thoughtfully. Overall, she knew she wanted him to stay longer than just a one night stand, and if that meant taking it slow, due to her fear of him leaving in the morning, she would take it. But if he started to pursue the idea, she wasn't exactly sure what she would do with herself though.

The plate cleaned, Robert stood and brought hers with him to the kitchen. Movie time? He retrieved and unsheathed the DVD, bringing it to the player and clicking on her television. The dishes could wait. People get funny when you start washing their dishes, and while it might feel good to find something to do with his hands, the large man felt eager to find a better use for them than sloshing around in the sink. Need me to carry you? He teased, easing back onto her couch and spreading his thick right arm along the back of it. His big foot slid over the coffee table, and the curve of his body gave a practiced invitation, more or less perfectly molded around a snuggling woman. I can, you know. You saw it. Even with the Chinese food. He teased. Confidence radiated from every facet of his being, and excitement tingled along his skin. This part, the physical part, he knew well. The intimacy and small talk, maybe not so much. She liked him. She was curious, eager... Everything about her said 'win'. Where he was from, women in this position tended not to shy at this stage. It didn't occur to him, in this moment, he might leave empty-handed.

Tara decided it was going to be different as he took her plate and she began to rise onto her heels. Her feet gave a whelp of pain, she tried not to show it, but she must have as he asked to carry her. Shaking her head she laughed at him and strided over to him on the couch confidently. I'm not that bad... she stuck out her tongue and slid next to him as the commercials for the movie began. Her small body fit under his arm and next to his large warm body comfortably and easily. She slid off her heels and folded her legs beside her, further pressing into him. So what's this movie about again? she mused, looking up at him. Tara was really wondering how she would get through the night without sleeping with him. He was tall, dark, handsome, sweet, and nearly impossible to say no to. If they did have sex, would he say in the morning or leave like he had the day before. Pursing her lips she turned her face back to the screen, titles of the movie running. Tara wondered how much of the movie she would actually see.

Quite a few things. He smiled. A diamond, I guess you could say. It's really a chick flick in that way. Women like diamonds, yeah? The wieght of his arm fell down around her thin shoulders and hugged her closer, physically moving Tara in her seat to fit tighter against him. It felt nice. He could feel her willingness as well as her hesitance, smell her interest, sense the tension. It all said positive things for him. It had been over a week since he'd enjoyed the company of a woman, and his body reacted strongly to her presence and his own confidence in the situation. I'm glad I got you here. He leaned down to speak at her level, very softly, as the movie started. Not that last time wasn't fun, but... The circumstances are a little more relaxed this time, I think. His second leg met the first up on the table, crossing at the ankles, pointed away from her view of the television. Those shoes can't be comfortable. He continued slyly. Why don't you curl up here beside me? Robert realized he was hard. Rock hard. It was uncomfortable, but he couldn't touch it to rearrange. The straining in his pants made him ache, but there was nothing to do but suffer in silence. The smell of her hair, the frailty of her little body... The caveman inside him was taking liberal guesses as to what different portions of her body would likely feel like, given the evidence already provided.
Thread: Robbery of the Heart (MrBurke x Risi)

Yes, women like diamonds, she said with a smile, implying that she may or may not agree with the over-paid for rocks. His body once again dwarfed hers, even on the couch it was evident as he pulled her closer with such a simple movement. She admired his confidence with her, under no impression that she was hoping to later hold out for sex. Tara curled up closer beside him though, their warm bodies pressing together as the movie began. They are quite comfortable, she added playfully, I can get you some if you like... she grinned and shook her head, her cheeks blushed from his simple attention. Her legs curled up closer to her torso, pulling them off the floor as she leaned into him. A girl could get used to this. But to keep him, she wasn't sure what the requirements were, or if she fit them. The movie ensued, her body crying out for attention, for interaction. Her mind though attempted to shush the cravings and desire building between her legs. It didn't help that the scene of the movie was getting steamy either as she soon found her mind wandering to Robert and herself committing those acts rather than the actors.

Size fourteen. He smiled as her shoes tumbled to the floor. I like that color, by the way, but I fancy myself an autumn. Something about the way she curled against him brought out a more protective, paternal instinct, and pieces of him usually untouchable melted all at once. She trusted him. Tara trusted him completely. He could feel it in his bones the way she lay with him, the seeping tension in her shoulders... she felt good in his presence. Guilt rose up in his throat, and he pictured her a weeping mess in his lap, hurt and bound and blindfolded, well on her way to being hurt again. The way she'd wailed... Robert's face fell, and he reached out to touch her hair, sift fingers through it at the front, clear it from her face and set the long dark strands aside to clear that pretty face. He would've fussed over her more, moved to accommodate her, reposition to mold her into something still more comforting, but he caught himself. I, ahm... I shouldn't have done that. He admitted. That was weird, right? Robert shook his head, suddenly feeling bashful. I don't want to creep you out, here. You look so sweet... makes me want to take care of you. Once he'd said it, he didn't feel so bad, and couldn't think of way she might perceive the notion now as equating to something disturbing, like smelling her hair or... whatever.

Oh, I think they only make up to twelves, she said with a smile but watched as his smile faded quickly. She began to ask but his touch to her blonde locks soothed her worry. His words after though, confused her. I didn't think it was weird at all, she admitted, almost embarrassed to admit it as he found it so odd. I like it when I look cute enough to comfort, it was her attempt at easing his obvious discomfort with, what seemed like, himself and his thoughts. One of the characters of the movie began to talk as he did and she shushed him playfully, but her head never turned fully back to the movie. It seemed that he held her attention, from the planes of his face to the strength and stress in his shoulders. Tara longed to reach out and soothe him some how. What's wrong? she asked cautiously, almost afraid of the answer. She could imagine it now, Sorry Tara, you're just not my type. I like redheads. or Can we just go get it on so I can get out of here? . Though she knew that Robert would never say these things, or anything like that, the fear was still there. Her hand reached out to his, as to comfort him, but really tie him to her somehow just in case he did want to leave.
Thread: Robbery of the Heart (MrBurke x Risi)

It's cool. He nodded, smiling again, pushing the corners of his mouth up to ease her worry. Don't worry about me, honey. I'm here looking after you. He used his best reassuring tone, brushing his thumb over her cheek in an effort to maintain the comfort she felt with his touching her face. Some of the girls he knew, you couldn't do that. They'd been strangled and grabbed and threatened and slapped - some of the women in his life jerked back violently at the encroachment, became sore with him, withdrew trust. Tara just smiled invitingly and appreciated the attention. He liked that. He liked how she felt, and how it warmed her to him. Pretty. He muttered, his grin grown genuine, tipping up her chin. Her face turned where he pushed it, and it sent a chill down his spine. Robert's hand fell away and he shifted closer to her, easing back further into couch and enjoying the electricity leaping between them as the movie went on.
