May I Have This Dance?

Glittering lights, swaying fabrics, sparkling gems, incredible smells. The Gala was magnificent. Easily able to overwhelm a bun with its luxurious intensity. In every corner of the venue, there were succubuns. Chatting, dancing, playing, partaking in drink and food, and some even indulgent enough to engage in some lovemaking. Vibrant, colorful, and otherworldly. A pleasure palace for one night to be enjoyed by buns with names and connections. And yet Irena wasn't really interested in any of it. She had been bullied into attending by her manager. Luckily found some pleasure in gaining a date for the night by chance more than arrangement and it had been well enough she guessed. Though she always would favour sleeping in her own bed more at this time of the day or any time really... she was making due indulging other buns with her attentions. Stealing herself away to take naps and returning frequently to her date to keep Duchess happy enough. She was more of a shiny thing to be shown off than a real date and Irena was content with that. Having been pulled onto the dancefloor yet again Irena had just managed to sneak away once more. Escaping from the bustle and twirling bodies. She moved away at a brisk yet still leisurely pace not wishing to be pulled back into the bustle. A bun needed a break sometimes. It did not take Irena long to locate a more quiet table next to one of the many little verandas. The doll sighed softly in relief as she could finally rest her body on a chair once more. Fingers angling for a glass she soon held a drink between her elegant digits. Slowly sipping away on the pearly liquid within Irena's eyes wandered over the ballroom and finally back towards the other occupants of the small table that she had joined. She was not interested in chats really but gave a small nod and lift of her glass as a greeting nonetheless.

Levi was preoccupied with his phone, feeling like his social battery had been drained enough as it was. Ever since he had started his company for a dating app called “Sinder”, Levi was almost all work and no play. It was definitely not an easy job to do, especially when he had started from just himself, his PC and a dream.Tonight he had spent the entire evening chatting multiple people up trying to make new friends and connections in order to better the company he headed. Levi had already made friends with many celebrities and socialites who had agreed to help him further his goals and for that he was extremely grateful! Some of them needed a little more gentle persuading than usual, and Levi was more than happy to appeal to their more carnal cravings of course. It was… a good way to expand his social circle after all. And a doubly good way to keep his bed warm. 

All in all, he was a newbie to the socialite scene, but still. Levi was slowly climbing the ladder. He was invited to the gala after all, which only invited the most prestigious members of Burrowgatory. He was ambitious, and sometimes, ambition exactly was what you needed to kick start something great in Burrowgatory.

He was scrolling through social media and as if on cue, he had chanced upon an advertisement of a lovely female bun with pretty colored eyes, one a shining gold color, and the other a cool blue hue. She had beautiful tan skin which was littered with stars and constellations. The model was Irena and of course Levi knew her well enough. She was quite popular after all. The ad he had stumbled upon was of her modeling for some clothes, which suited her very well. Irena was truly made to model.

A lady sits nearby and quietly acknowledges the others seated around her. Levi looks up to greet the newcomer and his eyes widen in surprise. Purple hair and tanned skin, wearing a beautiful sheer dress which hugged her body well. Her outfit was adorned in wings and stars. Well. Speak of the devil.

"Hello-" he greets courteously, tipping his drink to her in acknowledgement. There was Irena, in the flesh! It was as if she had dropped right into his lap. "Good evening miss. How funny of you to stumble in, look what was on my phone a few minutes ago" he says playfully, showing her the ad of herself in his phone. "You look tired, and the night is still young too. No rest for the wicked, I assume?" he asks coolly, swirling the drink in his glass. "Im Levi, by the way. Pleasure to meet you." Levi sets his phone down onto the table and offers his hand to shake. 

Irena glanced at the screen. Amusement filled her eyes at the sight of the ad. She did remember that particular shoot. Manager had fussed so much about it, and yet they had gotten it done in half the time he had allotted. And a few flutters of her lashes had convinced the designer that she should be allowed to keep the clothes, since they suited her so well. Free advertisement and all. 

"Never." the model sighed confirming the other buns' words. Oh, what she would give to be in her soft comfortable bed right now... But Manager was guarding the keys and her ride... a pity... truly. 

She offered her hand in turn. "A pleasure indeed Levi. I am Irena Felis, but you seem to be aware of that already." 

“I am.” he says, smiling at her pleasantly.” Levi shakes her hand, then brings her hand to his lips to land a soft kiss.

“I have a proposal for you, Miss Felis.” he says, clasping her hand in his. “One time, you come over and do a few quick pictures for me to use as an advertisement, and in exchange, I can show you a good time tonight. And you don’t have to do anything except watch me and be your pretty self. How does that sound?”

Irena listens intently allowing Levi to keep on holding her hand as he makes his proposition. "Wonderful. I would not mind that at all. Though I am a little occupied tonight." She smiles at him accepting his proposal. "So perhaps another night. And it certainly would be appreciated if..." She glances towards Manager who is chatting with some important-looking buns two tables down. "... you could intercept him for a few minutes should he come towards here. I would really appreciate the chance to have a little rest. And you could figure out the scheduling for the shoot." She gives Levi her most charming smile. 

“Consider it a deal.” he says, patting her hand fondly. Levi gets up from his seat and looks towards her manager.

Time to chat up more people, he thinks to himself.
