The Mother of all Games ( Leyshell / Cameron )

[LEYSHELL NICOLE CONNER]

Leyshell nodded, she understood his fear "Im scared of being like my mom, she let my dad run all over her,lying and cheating because I dont even...shoping trips,spa days and the sort.I cant be like that, all allowing and naive and weak." She was quiet for a moment afterward her confession, it was a confession because she didnt need to answer, but she wanted to. She didnt want to be the only one to know the others fear. Perhaps her fear seemed stupid now, because her current fear was sitting across from her shirtless and probably calculating some kind of plan.

She looked at her cards and bit her lip, he was betting his pants, and she rolled her eyes, like that was really a hardship for him "Okay, I can match that but add a really personal question answer." looked at her cards, two kings, an ace,a jack and joker. She hoped his cards weren't better than hers, not that she minded taking her pants off, her bikini had less material than what she had on at the moment. She scoffed at the cup and took to drinking out the bottle, yeah she was a lush "Dont even say anything" she said while looking at the bowl of pretzels in her lap...where did she come up with ideas like this anway?

His face screwed up, though he understood her point. "I can't see you doing spa trips for some reason. Shopping in a knife store, yes, but not a spa." And not like she had to worry about cheating either since he would be under a charm. "Ha well, no fear of that with me. You'd have me under a charm anyway, but I don't go against what I promise, Leyshell. Oaths are not something to ever be taken lightly."

He frowned. Sounded like she felt she had to be in charge or at least an equal share. Not bad unless it interfered with each other's plans.And he knew little about her plans. "Correct me if I am wrong, but your mother you said was a hit witch too, right? How could she be tricked by your father when she had to be sharp enough to kill?" And is being a hit witch your mother's wish or yours, he wondered, suddenly knowing which question he wanted to ask next. He drew two replacement cards and before he looked at them said "Fine. I'll match that and call."

Putting down his cards face up he laughed. "Like I'm going to resist a young lady I very much want to bed drinking a lot? While I undress?"

Leyshell smiled at him, perhaps it was such a bad thing she was starting to like him, perhaps it was a good thing. After all, like was a feeling...feelings meant you were human. "No I like shopping but not guilty shopping trips, not being paid off, well in this case." Actualy bribery worked well on her as long as the offense wasnt to great. She looked at her cards and smiled, putting hers down also Oh those pants are soo coming off." she said smiling innocently, though he thoughts were far, oh so far from innocent.

"I asked her once, I was about nine, she said it was because she loved him, a wife stuck by her husband.....I never wanted to get married after that, or fall in love." it almost happened...with Mathew she tried to change herself to he good and not evil but it didn't work, she would probably have to face herself him, when they were both adults and the dark lady attacked publicly perhaps before then... "Pfft, if you're gonna strip can we turn on the music, im sure I can find something pay you for you services"

She laughed at how that sounded, she wasn't even drunk yet. This was her, before everything...before she turned dark. Sighing she took another drink from the bottle. hmmm a personal question, ha how old were you when first did it." putting emphasis on the word it knowning he would catch on.

His eyebrows went up. "Oh gotcha, yes that would get to you after awhile I guess I think if my parents had ever done that I would gone for enough high priced items to cure them of that method." A glance at her cards and he shrugged; couldn't win them all, but he'd stick to questions and shots from here on out mostly then. Her other comment had him thoughtful for a second however.

"I always understood husband and wife support each other. My parents always seem to work together as a team, it's what makes it harder to pull things on them actually." Standing up, she made the mention of pay and he laughed. Giving her a hip shake he responded with "Pay me, eh? Well, if you can find something particularly enticing I might be interested in making it more entertaining. I have a feeling you don't want to pay me with my own clothes somehow..."

Flashing her a look as she asked the question he grinned. This was the part he shouldn't be answering really. "For my fourteenth birthday and let's see..." he smiled as he thought how to say it "in the closet, on the four floor, and with a very drunk Hufflepuff. Only I lied, it was still twelve hours before my birthday and she never asked. So I guess officially I should say thirteen." He grinned, remembering something else. "And it was totally worth it, especially her surprised squeal."

Hey, he had been a kid and it was his first time, he hadn't really been paying close attention to where what went where at first...

[LEYSHELL NICOLE CONNER]

There was something funny about the situtation she was in now. Slightly tipsy and down to her bra and underwear. Leyshell snorted lightly as Cameron moved to sit next to her on the couch. The game of cards was long since forgotten and she unsteadily moved over to wear camerons shirt was. Picking it up and putting it on, she did one of those famous bra removal moves and went back to sitting next to cameron.

"Bras an uncomfortable" was all she said as she tried to gracefully sit down but it ended up as more of a plop than anything else. She turned sideways and rested her legs over cam's lap, they had manged to remain at least semi-clothed, and since there was no more game, the shirt was illegal. She scrunched her nose at her bra laying on the floor. She had told alot more than she intended, so she had trust issues, and attention issues, the latter he already knew and now he knew about the trust issues. She felt incredibly naked and it had nothing to with the state.of her undress.

She knew somehow she would regret this in the morning, after everything was over. The very attractive boy now knew about all the cracks and dents in her seemingly flawless armour. She bit her lip out of sheer worry as she took another sip of the half empty bottle. "My dad thinks im a sort of serial killer, I heard him and my mom talking about it, my mom thinks its a stepbin the right direction, hit woman" she said snorting, her hair and her eyes were cycling through multiple colors, a sign that she was either drunk, or happy it was the first.

Cameron wasn't sure whether this was a fact finding game, a meeting of the minds, or a contest anymore. Leyshell's habit of choosing shots more often then clothes had him a touch in the advantage he thought, but her talk about trust issues had him hesitant to continue as well. And he couldn't second guess this one either cause this one was for all the jackpot, the whole enchilada. Down to his underwear (which she had liked enough to give him back his clothes as a tip earlier for his strip tease; the second had gotten about a third of the bottle into her and he wasn't sure how she had seen that as a tip), he was sitting beside her, one arm across the back of the couch, her legs crossing his lap, and his hand on her thigh, softly running up and down her leg to get her used to his hands.

It seemed to be working as she pulled on his shirt and removed her bra. Technically against the rules, but he wasn't really caring about the game at this point; there were more important things happening here for them both, though she may be too tipsy to realize what. "I agree, I try to remove them first thing I can." He grinned to show it was a joke, but he wasn't kidding either. And seeing her in his shirt with a more 'pointed' view was doing wonders for his imagination. "I'm not quite sure I understand how your mother can be subservient to your father and yet be a hit-witch. Those two things just don't fit together in my mind."

This time as his hand slipped up, he made sure to run it just past the bottom of her panties along her thigh. Whether now or later, they were going to end up in a bed sooner or later; there was no way her being used to his hands could be a bad thing in the long run. For his part, Cameron figured getting her into a bed sooner would make the rest far easier and more relaxed, more accepting. For once she found out he was more then just pleasant to have close, he figured a number of the trust issues would fade. At least he was only just beginning to touch on tipsy, but he was rather taken aback what her endurance was with the stuff as she seemed to be well into tipsy, but it had taken half a bottle to get there...

[LEYSHELL NICOLE CONNER]

Leyshell sighed, how did he not get it? She basically spelled it out and she was sure she wasn't slurring her words, she eyed the bottle it was half empty and not hers. It was poor etiquette to drink someone elses bottle, it just was. "I think I should feel bad I drank half your bottle and om pretty sure im drunk, if the spinning room is anything to go by" She closed her eyes and slipped further back on the couch, so she could laydown semi-properly. Her legs were sprawled over Camerons lap and her shirt, well his shirt had ridden up some...okay alot but she was to busy to care. She snorted softly and shook her head "It's simply, she loves him and he abuses that, love makes her weak and my dad is heartless, their marriage was like our except they were dating. He was always cold to her though she loved him, even if she gets angry and threatens him she submits in the end because she loves him, I dont want that...She gives up the power she has because she loves him." her eyes turned deep shade of grey and her hair a sky blue. She hoped he wouldn't be able to see the fear on her eyes, or the know what the color meant. She hoped he was distracted in trying to seduce her he didn't catch the hidden meaning.

She laughed, though it seemed more like a drunk giggle to her. "pfft you and you constant tickling, I thought you were trying to bed me not start a tickle war." She said with a mock pout as his hand brushed the edge of her underwear, she smirked at him and raised an eyebrow, he was so gonna have to try harder, preferably less tickling because she was totally ticklish.

As he listened to her response he frowned slightly. Drunk women, though fun, were not nearly so good in the sack when you were trying to build trust. Tipsy he could deal with and that would have been fine, but if she was getting drunk he would only hear about him taking advantage of her later. "Close your eyes, then, and take a few breaths. I'm not worried about the bottle, but I can take it back if you want." Debating on the next best move to fix the situation he asked her a question and let her speak not really expecting anything big out of it.

However, his ears twitched slightly as he heard something that he, for one, thought sounded significant. She had already spoken about how much she didn't like the way her mother was, but liked her job. Most kids wanted to do better then their parents; Cameron was no exception to this indeed! But when she said sounded like she detested the fact her mother had fallen in love to a user and gave in to him on everything eventually. There were a few gems in their to use and he rolled them around on his metaphorical tongue as the moment finished. "Ah so you think he never really loved her, he only used his power over her. That's a nasty corner to be in."

As she laughed about his tickling he chuckled and held her legs up, slipping out from under them and moving up beside her waist, leaning over her slightly, one hand on her bare stomach. "Ha, Leyshell. Let me tell you something. I know we both have our own paths and they aren't the same mostly, but if you want to be a hit witch, I'd support you in what you want to do. Neither of us asked for this marriage, but I will promise you this." He kissed the tips of his fingers and pressed them to her forehead with a smile.

"I will do what it takes to make sure we both can live together and still be ourselves. You will never have to deal with me trying to control you or change you. Doesn't mean I won't suggest stuff and try to convince you of things, but I find you very attractive and beautifully individualistic. And if that's the basis we have to start with, I'll work with you." Sending his thoughts another way it wasn't but a moment before most of the room altered enough there was a bed behind her couch. Leaning over, he kissed her directly, an exploratory kiss to let her know he was very much interested in more.

"Right now though I think you should probably stop drinking so I can introduce you to something much more fun and infinitively more enjoyable..." And he kissed her again, much longer the second time as he took hold of the bottle to keep it from falling.

Leyshell didn't think he was catching on and she frowned. This was rather annoying because she knew Cameron was an opportunist and that she should fall his words and promises. Maybe on some level she wanted to believe him but she still had a nagging thought in the back of her hand. She was drunk, not that trunk and baring her metaphorical soul to him and he was trying to seduce her. Not that he had to seduce her, but he didn't know that, maybe he didn't realize how much of a girlie girl she was. So she just nodded at his words, the only guy she ever got drunk around was Gunnar or Edward whatever he was going by these days, and that was hilarious. They had blackmail on each other and she trusted him, perhaps it was because he didn't take advantage of her when she had offered to bed him. She was the type to only sleep with guys she trusted, and she didn't know if she trusted Cameron.

"So how i don't think you kean, intimate conversation. Cameron, there's nothing wrong with you or anything but its just itll mean something more for me than you and im not to talking about my rep. or status as a proper pureblood girl, hell im not even talking about my severely compromised morals."

If they waited till their wedding night she could blame it on the contract, she could say that it was an obligation and expected of her. She just couldn't care for him, it was dangerous, perhaps he would get bored of the games and teasing and step out. She'd have another reason to guard herself and another scar on her heart, so to speak.

Leyshell nodded but didn't say anything, people abused their power all the time, absolute power corrupted absolutely. Though she didnt get how that applied here, she was never giving up control, not willingly, which was why she was reluctant to fal for the boy with bushy hair...which was really soft...and she needed to stop herself.

She couldn't help the smile that came from his words and the sweet gestures...they were sweet and when he moved up beside her she was sure it was the alcohol that her heart race, not him. He kissed her and she could feel the fire in the pit of her stomach, it was definitelyy the tequila. She frowned a bit at his next words and the kiss to match, though she returned it, she was sure that was honestly the tequila speaking.

Thinking fast, he could see that trust was going to be the big issue here and there were only so many ways to do that when one had a drunk girl on one's hands. But Cameron was also no fool; there were a good dozen girls who had yielded to his efforts, only a small number of those in school here so his reputation was not spread around at Hogwarts. And that was good. but here, this was for the whole pot and that meant much more careful moves then his current libido demanded. So he did something that an observer might have found devilish.

"Well, conversation maybe. We'll have to see if it gets intimate or not later on." So saying he stood (inadvertently giving her a nice skim of his form in nothing but underwear though that was not his current intention) saying "Here, bear with me a minute." Taking the bottle from her he set it down on the table and then bent at the knees sliding his arms under her legs and back to clearly pick her up. Lifting her he enjoyed knowing she could feel his strength as well as his skin as she was now pressed against him for a moment.

Walking over to the bed which had appeared he set her down just long enough to lift the sheet and let her legs slide under, supporting her while she went under the rest of the way. "Be patient, nearly done." Getting her hair back out of the way of her face and tucking it behind her ear, he tucked her in and then walked around climbing on the bed behind her. Sliding under the blanket but not the sheet he slid an arm around her middle and pulled her close whispering in her ear "There, now you can sleep it off without wondering later."

Talk about a trust builder...

Leyshell couldn't deny she was checking cameron out when he stood up. In his underwear mind you, and took the bottle from her. She of course complied wondering where he was going with his sudden actions. They were sort of cuddling before all the movement and she almost whined. But even in her haze she had dignity or rather a huge steel wall blocking all her weaknesses. She nodded her consent at whatever he was going to do and laughed when he picked her up.

"Pfft, im feeling slightly manhandled" She was joking of course,it was sort of hot that he could pick up. Not that she would, admit to that. He carried her to a bed and she knew her heart sped up, and kf course the part of her brain that kicked her for liking the bushy haired boy was saying I told you so. That was until he tucked her in and cuddled her, she liked cuddling. "I like cuddling" She said as she closed her eyes and listened to his words.

Leyshell was too comfortabke to think about the ulterior motive behind his actions. She was too involved and not in anyways out to use him, that was her problem. She didn't want to use him, she wanted to keep him, and not in a loveless marriage. She knew sober she wouldn't allow herself to feel this way, to think this. She wasn't naive and before she could stop herself she had a moment of weakness and her words flowed out. "You shouldn't do things like this, im already falling, it'll make damage control after I hit the ground worse."

She would regret that in the morning, letting her guard down, giving him a small amount of power. Because Cameron was an opportunist, and she had giving ammunition. She closed her eyes and decided to enjoy the naivety the tequila granted her, if only for the night.

He joked as she teased right back. "Only slightly? Well if you feel the need of reversing the situation you can always do it back I guess in a minute," and chuckled as he lowered her down. He thought she might have breathed a bit faster as he slipped her under the sheets (mostly because he was of course taking the chance to measure her chest with his eyes), but that just made him smile with satisfaction. She was very much attracted and that was a very good thing for him.

And she admitted she liked it. "Well then, Leyshell, I shall have to make sure to give you lots of opportunities then. Besides, you needed to know I'm not trying to work against you and being close and all is a good start."He moved his hand across her belly through the sheet, acting slightly possessive but only in a small way. Hearing her drunken confession he smiled wider, but pretended not to focus on that detail.

"I doubt you will believe me if I say I very much would like to be doing something else with you right now, but I won't take advantage of the alcohol, not like this, Leyshell. You deserve a much better time from me then one like that. And I have it on good faith I am worth the wait." Then he reached up a with that hand and touched her cheek softly. "I'd catch you before you hit. Otherwise you'll take me down with you."

Let her mind roll that one around till tomorrow and see what came of it.
