job by any stretch of the imagination, but Trowa kept himself safe
and stuck to the rules. Until a blonde CEO decided to push his boundaries.
"Philosophers and Conquerors" Chapter Three Trowa would let the blonde CEO sit and rot for all he cared. He worked the bar and drank his beer while he settled down. And he was damn well charging that beer to Quatres account, too! The manager was pissed at him for turning down the money to turn a trick for the blonde, but Trowa knew hed get over it. What was fair for one was fair for all, and if he charged one hundred bucks to anyone, it was one hundred bucks to everyone. He wasnt going to change his mind and charge Quatre a thousand. Even if he DID want to make Quatre pay for putting him on the spot like that. So he had. A guy like Quatre? Rich and influential? Money was no object to him. The only thing more important than cash to a guy like him was time. His parting shot was agreeing to the dance, and then letting him wait it out. Two hours was right at the end of his shift at the bar. The blonde could damn well wait until Trowa was ready to dance for him; he refused to be hurried just because the CEO flashed some cash and threw around his last name. And the more he thought about the whole situation, the more he knew hed been played like a fucking violin! The blonde knew exactly what he had been doing, and he kept on weaving his little web of words until Trowa fell right into it and agreed to give him a lap dance. Then, the manager went and complimented the jack-ass a private room! Usually a private lap dance was triple the price, but not for Quatre. He was too good to get a dance out in the bar like anyone else. That pissed Trowa off to no end. Quatre wasnt even paying for the private dance! No one should be getting special treatment just because they had money. But no more. Trowa was onto him now. No one manipulated Trowa Barton and got away with it! And all he had agreed to was a dance. And everyone knew that a lap dance had rules. No touching. And the dance ended when the dancer wanted it to. Everything was up to him. He didnt have to give that CEO with a King complex jack-all. And he didnt plan to. Quatre wanted to play games with him? Well, hed just play him back. And that started by peeking through the one-way glass in the backrooms that looked into the private rooms. It was there so the bouncers could keep eyes on things as they walked by every little while. Trowa took a moment to look in and watch his newest client squirm. Trowa usually liked meeting new people. He liked to dance, and he was known around the club for always giving a little extra bang for someones buck. He liked regular sorts of people. And he liked to be treated well. If he was good to his clients, they were good to him, usually. But Quatre? Trowa was already pissed before he even walked in. Watching the blonde sitting there, in his complimentary room, an empty martini glass beside him and the fancy sound system all set up for the dance, it just pissed the dancer off. Didnt a guy like Quatre have enough already?! Why did everyone have to bend over backwards for people like him?! Well, everyone except Trowa that was. Trowa made that CEO wait good and long for a piece of him, and he was glad to see that Blondie didnt look too happy about it. Quatre sat in the chair with false-composure and tried not to drum his nails on the brown leather arms. He looked really worked up; it was clear that he was rock hard inside those Armani pants. And hed obviously been tugging at the Italian silk tie for a while; It was off kilter. He wasnt reading the magazines lying around, but Trowa wasnt shocked. They were all skin-mags anyway filled with centerfold chicks and the beautiful people who would do anything for more money and fame. But the blonde CEO wasnt actually looking at them at all. And he had waited. For TWO hours. He must have really wanted a piece of Trowa to wait that long. He was either really stuck on him, or really stubborn. Trowa figured it was a bit of both. With that in mind, Trowa got ready for his dance. He mussed his hair and freshened his eye liner. Trowa didnt see a reason to change his clothes; He had no intention of giving the guy any relief. The dancer was just going to tease him until the 20 minutes they agreed upon were up and then he wouldnt owe that manipulative prick a damn thing. That Rich-Bitch ought to know better than to piss off the dancer he wanted in his lap if the guy wanted anything but air for the dance. Idiot. Trowa walked into the room with a swagger to his step and a CD twirled on his finger. He tossed it into the player that was conveniently patched into the rooms sound system and his favourite pulsing dance songs began. Usually Trowa liked to make a little small talk before he began to get up-close and personal, but he didnt think he needed that get-to-know-you time with Quatre. He already knew the guy was a jackass. Trowa straddled the chair and began rocking his hips to the song. He looked above Quatres head with a bored air and leaned back to roll his body and work his belt off. He was FEET away from the blonde jack-ass and had no intention of giving Quatre anything. He would have ended the dance before it began if he didnt know that his manager would have an aneurysm about it if he found out that Trowa hadnt shown. Slowly, Trowa got closer so that he could at least go through the motions of a lap dance properly. He got on Quatres chair and began to tease his shirt up a little to the sound of the music. Thank you for doing me the honour of this dance, Quatre said politely. His voice was strained a little, his eyes glued to Trowas slowly rolling hips, and he couldnt seem to stop licking his lips, but he was still trying to charm. Always working that rapier tongue. That sort of polite thing usually flattered Trowa and would almost always ensure his client got a little more for his time, but not with Quatre. No way. No how. Do you ever stop talking? Trowa retorted, yanking the belt off with a SNAP behind the chair that made the blonde jumpand accidentally grind his crotch against Trowas leg. Trowa was knelt on the chair, straddling Quatres hips, touching Quatres stomach with his pelvis and hovering his fully-clad ass over Quatres fully clothed cock. That didnt mean that he would allow him to grind against him. Trowa grabbed his shoulder and pushed him down, WHOA buddy, I dont care who you are. No touching. Quatre pinned himself down to the chair, a flush as red as a tomato coming over his face at that, I didnt mean... He stammered just a second before he regained his composure and that fire in his eyes was back, I was startled! You cant blame me for that. Trowa felt himself smirk cruelly. He had the guy off-guard now. And he didnt think hed ever seen anyone blush so RED. Take that, prick. Point for Trowa. Ill let it go this time. But dont break rules again, or not even your Rolex will save your ass from being kicked out of this club. Trowa rolled his hips again and began to slide his hand up against his own stomach. He tugged the shirt up a little more to give the blonde a little peek at his muscled abs and rolling bellybutton. Quatres eyes were glued to the dancers body, and he nodded to Trowas rule and let the man roll and gyrate to the music over his hips. There was no grinding, though. Trowa wasnt being that nice to him yet. He was still angry. Quatre tried to remember that this was only one step of his plan. He hadnt lost yet. Trowa was being cold to him right now, but Quatre had not yet begun to fight! Trowa pulled over the table that was nearby so it was directly behind him. He straddled the chair arms above Quatres hips again, facing the blonde, and put his elbows on the table and leant back to show off how much he could arch. Then he began long body rolls to the music, lifting his hips high so they were right in the blondes face (the way he had his eyes glued, it wasnt hard). But he wasnt giving him even a whisper of contact where he knew the blonde wanted it. Trowa rolled and flicked his hips a little more as he pulled his shirt off higher and unbuttoned the top fasting of his pants, then he turned over with speed and flexibility of a performer. He switched positions so that he faced the wall now, his forearms on the table and his ass just a foot away from Quatres chest. He figured a King like him would enjoy seeing Trowa bowed for him. He could look all he wanted. Think about the ass he was never gonna get to fuck. He was waiting for the blonde to do something to piss him off. All he needed was a reason to end the dance. He hoped the blonde grabbed his ass or something just to justify kicking him to the curb. But he didnt get to. Quatre was a perfect gentleman. He kept his hands out of the way and just let Trowa roll and dance and flick his hips. He didnt ask him for anything, and didnt make any sort of lewd comments. The dancer slid down the chair and then dipped low to Quatres knees. The rules were that Trowa could touch, but Quatre couldnt touch him. He could do what he wanted now. He snapped Quatres legs open and slid in between as if he were going for a blow job. Quatre stifled a moan and tried his damndest not to react too much. He knew enjoying the show was part of this, but he didnt think embarrassing himself in his pants was exactly up to etiquette. And really, he would never let the dancer get that much over on him. He had more he wanted from him. Trowa wasnt like any dancer he had ever met, and he had set his sights on having him in his bed. He wanted Trowa so badly that he was willing to put up with some frustration in order to have more later. But the motions and movements the beautiful dancer was making right now were just adding fuel to the fire. He was so hungry for the dancer that he was ready to grab onto his hips and just BEG for him! But that wouldnt do. Not at all. Quatre gulped and tried to will himself to cool down; But it wasnt easy. Trowa grinned when he saw that reaction, and he slid himself up through the blondes legs. God, he had gorgeous legs. And his face looked pretty hot, all turned on and just about to moan. Trowa wanted to see a little more, so he nudged the blondes inner thighs with his hips and sides as he slid up through those legs. He made the blonde gasp out loud. Another point. It was so sexy, watching Quatre trying to keep in control but losing it. Trowa could see that the blonde sure liked Trowa between his legs. As he nudged and rolled against Quatres inner thighs, instead of moving to grab Trowa, or thrusting up against him like most guys did, the blonde let out a needy little moan and spread his legs a little more, as if inviting him in between. Just the thought of that began to make Trowa start to get hungry. Trowa was often looked at, lusted for, but usually men liked looking at his ass. He was the performer. The eye candy. Their bitch. They didnt really like knowing that Trowa wanted THEM bent over. Seeing that Quatre was a bottom was...fucking hot. But he wasnt about to let Quatre know that he was starting to enjoy the dance a little. I can see why you make a great dancer. Youre very flexible. Quatres voice hummed softly, catching Trowas attention. His voice was strained, breathy, and deep. But he was trying to sound in control, when it was so clear to Trowa that Quatre wasnt in control anymore at all. Not since the moment Trowa had walked through that door. Hm. Trowa responded just enough to say he was listening, but he continued to shift and arch, rolling his stomach between those pretty little legs. He wanted to grind and make Quatre spread those legs more. He wanted to see Quatre with his head thrown back and his arms around Trowas neck, begging for it harder. Trowas mind was going into the gutter now, and he wanted in between Quatres legs in the worst way. He wanted to fuck that gorgeous little blonde CEO philosopher king into oblivion and back again. But the dance wasnt about what Trowa wanted. He knew that. Nothing was about what Trowa wanted in a place like this. Removing temptation was needed right now. Trowa needed to give they guy what he paid for and that was it. He moved away from between those gorgeous legs and turned, looking at the wall instead of Quatre. He mounted the chair again and put his elbows to the table and his knees on the arms of the chair, doggy-style, showing Quatre his ass and rolling and grinding as if they were fucking. He even made that little moan sound; It made most patrons go nuts. And I can see why youre a great bouncer. Youre very intimidating... Not just because youre strong, and youre heartbreaking beautiful, but because you are sharply intelligent. Quatres voice was soft, husky, and it didnt have that frantic edge of hunger like before, or that sarcastic Im-better-than-you air. You put CEOs to shame. I bet youd make any professor drool to have you in a class. Trowa flicked his eyes over his shoulder to look at Quatre and lifted a brow, Im not in school... Quatre smiled tightly (he seemed stressed. The aching cock in his lap probably wasnt helping) but he spoke anyway, You should be. Youre very intelligent. And beautiful. Trowa was... flattered. He heard Youre hot enough times, or such catchy drunk-phrases like Youve got more leg than a bucket of chicken, but he didnt really tire of hearing that he was beautiful. And it wasnt often that someone called him intelligent: especially not someone as intelligent as Quatre himself. Trowa smiled gently, feeling the chip on his shoulder lessen just a little. The blonde didnt follow up with anything to piss him off, and Trowa began to really get into his music. He liked his songs, and he liked to dance. He slid his legs off the arms of the chair with a slow sort of slide that made the blonde gasp quietly. He straddled his lap properly now, brushing the mans lap with his thighs and crotch every so often as he moved, rolled, and flicked his hips to the music. He was rewarded with a stifled sort of moan from the blonde. The Philosopher King was losing control. Trowa could hear it in his voice, and feel it in his body. He was slumped back against the chair now. Whatever plan he had was gone. All he could focus on was the feeling of Trowas body whispering across his thigh and brushing his lap in ways that made Quatres brain fry. Youre so beautiful, Trowa. Quatre moaned again with that husky, hungry sort of purr. It sent a little shudder up Trowas spine. He sounded really hot like that.... Really, really hot actually. Trowa wanted to hear it some more, so he began slow sort of circles with his hips that gave a little more contact with the blondes cock. He figured Quatre would like that. And really, Trowa kinda liked that too. It was easier on his muscles than some other dances, and it gave Trowas body a little friction while he was at it. Trowas body was still aroused from dancing between those gorgeous legs. If Quatre wasnt rich? Trowa would do him. Oh yeah. If Trowa wasnt a stripper and Quatre wasnt a client, Trowa would have loved to tap that pretty little ass of his. All night long. Make Quatre scream for more. Beg for it harder. Harder and harder and HARDER. Trowa could imagine just how good it would be to see Quatres pretty little face under him, his nails digging into the back of his neck. Oh GOD his mind was quickly falling into hot-fantasy territory, and that was not a good place to be when he was supposed to be working! Usually Trowa didnt break the rules, but, just this once... He wanted to hear it so bad! You can moan if you want... No ones gonna hear you but me, he offered with a little moan of his own. He could admit it. He loved to hear the mighty rich-bitches moaning for him like a whore. It made him hot to hear it. And right now he was already so hot already, a little more couldnt hurt. Trowa grinded and flicked his hips against the blondes thigh again, knowing his ass was grinding right against the mans cock now, and giving him a lot more contact than he was really supposed to be giving for the price Quatre paid. But he didnt care. It felt so good: For both of them! So the-hell WHAT if he was breaking a few rules. He was rewarded with a deep, guttural moan from the CEO that sent thrills up Trowas spine and made him grind harder. Then, he felt the mans hands grab onto Trowas thighs unconsciously and the pretty little blonde was rolling up into Trowas hips. He should have stopped him; He should have moved his hands at least! But he didnt. He kept moving against the blonde, arching his back and then kneeling upright to roll his shirt higher and higher. He liked giving Quatre a little show, and it was hot to undress for someone specific. While he was mad that Quatre was given the private room for free, he wasnt mad about it right now. He knew no one was watching them, and no one was watching him bring Quatre to the edge. He brought the shirt up and over his head, and then he tossed it to the side of the room. Quatre gave another little groan of appreciation and let his eyes roam over the dancers body. His hands slowly caressed his thighs where they stayed unobtrusively on the dancers jeans. Trowa wasnt pushing him off. Quatre knew hed managed to get back on Trowas good side when he started to feel Trowas body giving him what he wanted. Staying still was the hardest thing he ever had to do, but he managed it. He didnt think Trowa would appreciate him acting like a boorish pig for his dance; thrusting and grinding and begging like he wanted to was not classy. And Trowa seemed to really like classy. The more Quatre behaved, the more Trowa seemed to give him. He kept turning up the heat of his dance until the gorgeous man was grinding against Quatres lap deep and hard while Trowas hands slipped between their bodies and ran against the bulge in his pants as if curious how much Quatre was enjoying this. From Trowas angle, staring at the wall with his back to Quatre, the dancer couldnt really tell except for the moans he was ripping from Quatres throat. Quatre let out a whimper at that touch, the pressure sending his brain into shock and his body rolling just a little into the touch. But the dancer didnt move away. He gave him a little more pressure and let out a little moan of his own. It all became clear to Quatre: Trowa was enjoying this. He liked his job. Trowa really was a natural performer. He craved the spotlight, but he played behind masks and walls to protect him from the outside. Quatre thought that he understood the performer a little, now that hed spoken to him and his sister. And the more time he spent with the complicated performer, the more pieces began to fall into the puzzle. There was just one thing that didnt sit right with him. Why was he so against Quatre offering to buy him things? Or trips? Trowa... Do you really not like nice things? Trowas movements slowed, and he flicked his eyes over his shoulder. He was scowling a little. I dont need money to be happy. Im a natural gypsy. I live cheaply. Im not like you- But Quatre cut him off before Trowa worked himself up to anger. I didnt say expensive things. I said nice things. Theres a difference. Quatres voice was soft now, low and purring. The manager had known the trick to dealing with Trowa, and now Quatre was using it to his advantage. A little bit of touch and some whispered words: Flirting. It worked. Trowa calmed down and he continued to rub and slide over Quatres lap... He was listening. Quatre licked his lips and continued. He ran his hands down Trowas legs a little, Like... real leather pants instead of that fake plastic stuff. Or shirts made out of cotton instead of polyester. The real Count Chocula cereal and not Value Brand Chocolate-Bits. Sheets of Egyptian cotton, and wine from France. I thought you would be a man of taste. Of quality. Its not about expense. Do you know what I mean? Trowa did. He didnt like to admit it, but... He knew exactly what Quatre was talking about, and he knew that he had a taste for that sort of thing. He made due, though! He didnt need that sort of thing, and he didnt like Quatre throwing his vices in his face! Before he could feel affronted though, Quatre continued talking to him. His hands kept petting his thighs with that soft, sexy grip and it was hard for Trowa to stay mad when his body was being given so much attention. Its not shameful, Quatres voice kept that sexy purring lilt even as the CEOs body began to rock up to meet Trowas rolling hips in the dance, You have high standards. Theres nothing wrong with that. Quatre could feel his breath getting more shallow. His body was enjoying this dance. He wanted release. Badly. And Trowa seemed willing to give it to him now. Quatre was pretty sure their twenty minutes were nearly, or already, up. But he just kept rolling against him and talking. His words seemed to keep Trowa interested; seemed to keep the man rocking against him deep and hard... Quatre could tell that Trowa was the kind of man who would enjoy being pampered, or being taken care of. As long as he never felt tied down. That was the key. If Quatre could find a way to spoil him without making Trowa feel trapped he might be able to get this sort of treatment more often. Maybe even more that just a lap dance, too. He didnt just want Trowa for one night. He wanted him all the time. He wanted to come home and see Trowa lying naked in bed, waiting for him. He wanted Trowa sitting in the seat beside him on his private jet, he wanted Trowa sipping martinis with him in his houses banquet hall and he wanted to see Trowa in Armani and skin-tight Guess jeans (and see how nice Trowa would treat him for buying him something like that). The dance was getting really hot now. Trowa wasnt mad anymore, and he was gripping the sides of the chair so he could use all his muscles to blow Quatres mind. And Quatre knew he really was going to blow soon. His whole body was shaking now, begging for the release that hed been denied ALL night. He could barely string together a thought. The need was overwhelming! Thankfully, Quatre had prepared for this while he was stuck waiting for two hours. He had a business card in his front jacket pocket and it already had his personal cell written on the back-- And a nice one hundred dollar tip waiting. He had to let go of Trowas thigh to retrieve it. The dancer was leaning back against him now and rocking up and down on Quatres hips, mimicking riding him hard. Trowa had serious strength in his body; he would be amazing in bed. And Quatre was desperately aroused by now. He was going to cum. In moments. He took the card in his hand with the hundred wrapped around it, and took the chance to slide it down far into Trowas front pants pocket. Holy HELL! Quatre nearly came right then. He figured that dancers got hot during work, but he could feel Trowa through the pocket of his jeans. He was rock hard, and if Quatre extended his fingers enough to brush the edge of the dancers considerable bulge, he could feet a slick wetness of pre-cum wetting through the material. This was far more than mildly aroused. Trowa was close to cumming himself! Quatre managed to hold himself back a few more minutes. He ran his finger tips over the length hidden in the performers pants and listened for the reaction. Far from kicking the blonde out for that blatant breaking of rules, Trowa let out a gasp and rocked his hips right against Quatres with intensity. The dancer seemed stuck between Quatres fingers and his hips, and Trowa was enjoying every second! If he thrust up, he got more from that hand, and if he thrust back, Quatres length was poking into his hips and making the CEO gasp. The dancer was panting now, giving Quatre all the sugar he could handle and taking all the enjoyment that he was being given. The moan that ripped out of the dancers throat sounded suspiciously like more! but he covered it up well, just continuing to move and thrust and grind against Quatre. That was the missing piece of the puzzle. It finally clicked into place and Quatre let out a moan. Trowa loved sex. He loved experiences. And art, and dance, and learning. He loved nice things, and quality, but most of all he loved sensations. He turned down men with money, because money usually meant no attention. Quatre knew how true that was. Most of his CEO friends bought presents instead of visiting their lovers, and kept them happy that way. Trowa wasnt the type to live like that. But neither was Quatre. Trowa was being so cold to him because he thought Quatre would take what he wanted, then leave Trowa hanging. Trowa thought that Quatre only cared about himself. There was only one way to prove him wrong. In Trowas words, What was fair for one was fair for the other, and if Quatre wanted to get off, he was gonna bring Trowa with him. Quatre palmed Trowas length and stroked as best as he could within the confines of the tight jeans. The dancer gasped and arched back against Quatre almost submissively. The aggressive, moody, prickly Trowa was practically BEGGING him, rolling up and down Quatres body like a Tom Cat and thrusting his hips against Quatres wandering hand. The invitation was too delicious. Quatre pulled his hand out of the dancers pocket and went for the zipper of Trowas jeans. Trowa had already popped the button and lowered them a little during his dance; it was laughably easy to get his hand into Trowas pants to free his cock and give it a few good strokes. That was all it took to make Trowa turn wild. The dancer arched forward, giving himself better leverage against Quatres hand and rocked back and forth so he was thrusting but still moving against Quatre to get him off. A hungry, growling sort of moan ripped from the gorgeous mans throat as he pistoned between Quatres hips and his hand. Quatre had almost forgotten about himself in the thrill of making the dancer moan, but the need was coming back with a vengeance now. Quatre thrust up against the friction of the dancers ass one more time. That was all it took. He was totally undone. Quatre let out a wailing sort of moan as he slammed against the friction and lost control, making a mess of himself in his pants. He gripped the dancers cock harder as the pleasure washed over him and Quatre rode it out, gasping in bliss. Trowa was panting hard now, and thrusting into the hand furiously, almost as if he expected Quatre to stop because he had cum now. But Quatre wouldnt do that. He wasnt the kind of man Trowa through him to be. He could see it all right now. He could see what Trowa expected... Quatre leant forward and pressed a kiss between Trowas shoulder blades and then stepped up his ministrations, Let me make you feel good. I wont stop until youre finished. I can take care of you. Give you what you need. Everything you need. He whispered. And He meant it. Every word. He understood what Trowa really needed now, and he was trying to give it. Trowa needed someone watching out for him, someone to care about what he was doing and why, he needed someone in his life to challenge him, but love him anyway. Someone to keep things interesting. Someone who would make sure he always got off in bed. Trowa needed a lover. He needed someone who paid attention to HIM, not just themselves. He fisted his cock and pumped. I want you in my bed. And I want you between my legs. And I want to keep you in my bed for as long as youll have me. And I PROMISE you, if you choose to have me as your lover, Ill make sure that Ill always leave you satisfied. Quatre growled, low and hot. Trowa let out a ragged cry and bucked against his hand, his whole body tightening... then he released with a growl like a wild thing! Trowas hips pistoned forward in a frantic thrust as his body gave over to orgasm; his seed spilling out and coating Quatres hand as Trowa shook and shivered from the intensity of it. If Quatre could have cum again, he would have just seeing Trowa like that. He was so sexy; Quatre couldnt help but want him even more. Finally, the dancer calmed, coming down from the high of orgasm slowly. He rocked on his knees, tipping backwards to lay the back of his head on Quatres shoulder, panting, giving Quatre a gorgeous view of the dancers sculpted chest rising and falling as he tried to catch his breath. Quatre pressed a soft, affectionate kiss to Trowas neck, and then pressed gentle kisses all the way down his shoulder as he retracted his hand and discretely used the Kleenex provided in the private rooms for just such emergencies to clean up Trowa. He couldnt stop the grin from tugging at his face. He had just made the irate, prickly dancer cum. The man might call him a philosopher-king, but right about now? He felt more like the conquering hero. Trowa didnt say anything other than a mumbled Thanks when Quatre cleaned him up. The dancer was smiling just a little out of the corner of his lips in a way that made Quatres heart beat faster and his mind work to memorize every detail of the sight. After a few moments, though, Trowa slowly sat up and slid off the chair. Quatre took a moment to clean himself up, checking Trowa to make sure he hadnt ruined the mans pants or anything. But Trowa looked fine; Sexy as always, and even more gorgeous with that just-fucked glow and a content smile on his face (even though Quatre had never gotten the particular pleasure of fucking him yet). It was just Quatre who had embarrassed himself in his pants. The dancer bent down swiftly to grab his shirt and he pulled it over his body, taking the time to roll it down real slow... In Quatres opinion, watching Trowa put it back on like that was almost as sexy as watching Trowa take it off. Trowa turned then, having taken a minute to compose himself, and he sashayed over to the blonde. He straddled the end of Quatres lap for lack of anywhere else to sit, and faced him. Digging into his pocket, Trowa pulled out the one hundred dollar bill and the card. Separating them, he tucked the cash back into his pants, and then Trowa made it a point of looking at the card. After a second, the dancer leaned forward and flicked the card back at Quatre with a mischievous smile. He grinned playfully, then tweaked the blondes nipple, making Quatre gasp instead of respond to having the card tossed back at him. Trowa stood after that, sparing Quatre an over-the shoulder look. He walked with a flick of his hips towards the door. Dont come back here, Quatre, He said clearly; his voice had no-nonsense. Quatre looked stunned at that development. He hadnt expected his card to be given back to him, and he certainly didnt expect to be told to leave! He thought he had figured the dancer out! Apparently not! He was totally thrown off-kilter by that response! T-Trowa.... I- That was when Trowa turned around, a slow sort of smile on his face still and something resembling... affection? in his eyes. I dont date clients. Trowa said softly, So if youre going to offer me a ride home tonight, youd better not be a client. I leave in half an hour. And dont forget what you promised me. And then he was gone; he had ghosted out the door as if he had never been there at all. Quatre sat, blinking, just for a moment. He looked from the empty room, to the card laying, denied, in his lap. But slowly, he felt himself smiling as he rewound the exit in his head. Quatre had to applaud. If he wasnt so turned on again, he would have. He had never seen a better exit even on stage. And he had never felt like he had been bested quite as thoroughly as Trowa had just bested him. This game went to Trowa, hands down and inequitably. And the worst part was that Quatre had fallen for it; And him. The CEO licked his lips and pulled out his cell phone, calling up a driver to get him and Trowa outside the club in half an hour. He was looking forward to fulfilling his promise already: He was going to make sure that Trowa was satisfied. But Quatre knew for a fact that it was going to take a long time to discover everything there was to discover about the dancer; Trowa knew how to use the cardinal rule of a performer: Always leave them wanting more.
