HIS RESCINDED TOUCH SPURS HER THIGHS TO CLAMP SHUT, but her gaze remains curiously fixed on him. “ who ? brook ? on the contrary, dom, i don’t mind the company at all —– i feel like i burn calories every time i watch her face fall, it’s a blast. ” her lips fall into a pout, though they lack any ounce of sincerity, “ unless you don’t want me to come. ”
“why wouldn’t i want you to come? watching you trade scowls and spars with brooklyn sounds so thrilling,” dom lilts, placid, with an arching brow aimed at her. “if i were wise i’d leave you both behind to tear into each other. two less problems for when i come back.”

HER SMILES ARE GIVEN AWAY OFTEN AND FREELY, and there was always laughter in her eyes. to be told not to smile was difficult she didn’t know just what she’d been doing with herself the moment prior but she composed herself till the click, a grin breaking out across her face right after. “i can pose for you all day, but i can’t vogue for you. the only thing i’d have any luck modeling are my hands.”
her happiness is unrelenting, he stops himself from rolling his eyes. at her sentiment, dom’s head tilts, considering. “i dunno. you’ve got great legs,” he decides, sizing her up. a ghost of a wicked smirk flirts at his lips. “they’d make a fucking brilliant picture, if you could see ‘em. don’t suppose i can get you to lose the jeans?”

EDEN NARROWS HER EYES AT HIM. “ I swear to God, I will punch you, Dominic, ” she hisses, not appreciating him bringing up the memory considering she’d been trying (and failing) to get the image out of her mind. “ You’re such an asshole. What the hell happened to your conscience? ”
“it’s been beat to hell,” he retorts, lips pursing. the pivotal points of dom’s life have been marked by death. childhood, puberty, adulthood. what’s one more dead body? he shrugs, cynical, but relents in his purposeful antagonism. “couldn’t have been that bad, could it? just strangled. no blood.”

“ ANYONE THAT CAN KILL ANOTHER human being is a mad bat, ” Ana hums, choosing to ignore what sounded a lot like him referring to himself as one. She scoffs as he continues, though. “ You’d really look at me and think ‘a-ha, she’s the murderer’? No, not me, buddy. ”
“well, in my experience, it’s the leggy blondes that prove to be the maddest of bats. my ex-wife, for example.” the fact that she married jules in the first place should be proof enough. he tilts his head, considering, but eventually shrugs. “doesn’t hurt to ask, i suppose. did you know the dead ol’ shmuck?”

THE CORNERS OF HARRISON’S MOUTH TURN DOWN SLIGHTLY , as he feigns annoyance . “ that really hurts my feelings , dominic . ” the attorney sighs , as he brings the glass to his lips once again , taking a hearty drink from it . “ that’s a myth . ” he dismisses it with a hand gesture . “ should i expect to have my picture up in a gallery in the upcoming months ? ”
‘feelings’ has dominic laughing, as if an attorney with emotions is a punchline. throat clears comically as his raises himself up from his seat to find the alcohol stash. “nah, i don’t do all that art gallery shit. this is just for my personal archive. --and ‘cause you’re just so handsome,” dom tacks on sarcastically, looking back to make a face at harrison. he sniffs the top of the decanter, the scrunch in his nose deepening. he pours himself a glass anyway. “seemed prudent to snap a shot of everyone who was at the party,” dom murmurs into the drink. “feel like i’m doing something. i dunno.”

“ —probably. i’ve been told i’m full of hot air. ” there’s a distant rimshot being played somewhere, and parker’s lips do twitch into some semblance of a smile. “ doing some sleuthing? think you should leave that up to the cops, kiddo. believe it or not, i’ve cultivated a pretty good name for myself. i’m just as dumb as rich as the rest of you. well, maybe not quite as dumb. ”
“yeah, leaving it up to the cops was plan a. then a second guy with my last name got murdered, so,” dom reflects a dead panned smile of his own, head inclining as he sizes parker up. “nah. not nearly as dumb as you look, anyway.” there’s a pause for his own rimshot before a slightly more genuinely amused smirk appears. gaze lowers, distracted by his photo gallery. still, he makes no effort to hide the investigatory tone of his questions. “so, cilla’s still wasting her time with you? --you left together, right?”

SHE TAKES HIS EVASION AS A CLEAR ANSWER, her touch pulling at the front of his shirt while she stares down his lens. “ fair enough, ” a hand finds its way through his hair, “ let’s go away for a few days. ” her skirt collects at her thighs, lace barely concealing her. “ this city is a plague. ”
at the mention of a vacation, dominic’s hand recoils from skin, busies itself with clinking vaguely at her camera controls. throat clears, head tilts. “already made some plans to leave for a bit. but i... doubt you’d want to tag along,” dom explains, eyes flickering guiltily up to her, “considering who’s going with me.”

she looks smaller in the light of his office, someone more youthful and vulnerable than she’s been before. her hair falls in black waves down her back and her face is devoid of makeup, leaving only the marks of exhaustion in its midst. she doesn’t speak for a moment, remember the sheer anger with which they had kissed is enough of an answer. “have you slept at all?”
when she doesn’t volley back a snarky retort, dom looks away from her. gaze moves to the window, the inky sky lit up with new york nightlife. “it’s okay,” he assures her, looking back with a pointed smirk. “i’ll sleep when i’m dead.” seems a lot more likely than ever. with that strangely real thought, dom presses his lips together. “you should go.”

“i can’t begin to express to you how remarkably unimportant that is to me,” dom replies placidly, focused intently on composing yet another email. eventually the phone is tossed against the table he sits at, wide hands dragging down his face. brook’s presence remains and he becomes suddenly aware of it, uncomfortable. he looks back at her. “--does the term warm body mean anything to you?”
for @clevvre
she’s looking at him he’s a wounded animal, unable to approach for fear of startling him into a frenzy. brooklyn sighs heavily exhaling another puff of smoke. her legs are bare where she leans against the wall, dom’s shirt several sizes too large for her. “aren’t you going to gloat?” she says curious. “you got me into bed again.”

“ —i wasn’t planning on smiling in the first place, ” parker deadpans, unblinking as he offers the lens an idle stare. “ taking pictures for the yearbook or something, caldwell? ”
“many apologies, thought i saw a glimpse of emotion. probably just gas, yeah?” dom’s head tilts, brows quirking in mild amusement. “something like that. getting everybody who was at the masquerade. you’d be surprised how short the guestlist was, it seemed to be a pretty exclusive affair... can’t imagine how you got in.”

“ DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS? ” Eden screws up her nose as she looks over at Dom. “ I’m really not in the mood to smile or have my picture taken or anything. Maybe you should hire an actual model. ”
“yeah, perfect. the scowl’s sexy,” he deadpans, clicking away. “what, coming across a dead body put your stomach out?” camera pulls away from his face, which is doing it’s best to smirk. “or was your lunch off?”

ANA RAISES AN EYEBROW. “ That sounds eery as shit, ” she mutters. “ Some blokes get all the luck? Yeah, don’t say that to loud or someone will hear you and get rid of you just for the fun of it and then it won’t be so lucky. ”
“nyeh, they’d never. obviously whoever’s done it is a mad bat... and they can smell their own, see,” jules nods knowingly, as if he’s making any semblance of sense. “unless... wasn’t you, was it? be honest, i won’t tell.”

“ YOU’RE A NIGHTMARE. ” bella slumps against a worn wood, petulantly angled away from jules while beckoning for attention from the same bartender. “ can you get me a glass of rosé and a steady pair of hands to set me free ? ” noting her company, she adds, “ scratch that, a bottle. ”
“two bottles,” jules adds, delighted. “of your finest absolut... no! the whipped cream one! let me just finish up dinner first.” with that, he downs the last of his bloody mary before whirling on bella. “you, dear, are free as a bird. this is fucking... nonsense bullshit,” he gestures to her precious paperwork. “get over it.”

HARRISON’S ARM STOPS MIDWAY , bringing the glass of wine to his mouth . he eyes dominic curiously . “ are you sure ? this smile has sold some hard passes to the juri . ” he shrugs slightly , setting the glass down . “ plus , i’ve had teeth whitening done , so at least let me get my money’s worth . ”
“yeah, ‘cause you look like a shark,” dom muses quietly, a smirk peeking out from behind the viewfinder. the camera lowered, he leans back in the chair opposite harrison. “might want to cut back on the wine in that case. now you really look like a shark.”
