---

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     She was a frequent comer of the club, but Thea had not been here in a few weeks. So the moment that that walks in with the short red dress, curled short dark hair and spikey heels she is welcomed in by name. A smile on her painted red lip curves one side of her mouth as she walks into the club.
     The clutch purse at her side is tucked under her arm, the direction she is heading is to the bar, even if her eyes shift around the room, scanning, looking...

Thomas Raith has posed:
Of course Thea was already on the short list of the Club's VIP's due to her name, but this time there is no hesitation at the door. Axe, the doorman, see's her coming and simply lowers the rope. And by the time she arrives at the bar Thomas is waiting there, holding a pair of drinks and looking like he stepped off the cover of a Romance novel. "Of all the gin joints in all the world." He says playfully in a pretty good Bogart accent.

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     Thea picks up the waiting drink for her with a smile, "I bet you say that to all the girls." Not that she really cares. Though she looks at the glass she picked up from his hand, trying to determine what it is. A small sip is taken.
     All the while she slips onto one of the bar stools and sets her clutch purse on the counter top, leaving it so that its at her elbow and if someone where to take it she would know. "How are you Thomas? I've missed your recently."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks a little bit. Instead of the elaborate cocktail he gave her last time, this time it's simply top shelf scotch, neat. Smooth with enough a burn to remind you that it is there for a little while to come. "I've thought about you quite a bit myself. You left quite an impression." He says with a smirk, "I've been doing fairly well. One of these days I might even get out of this Club again." He says with a laugh. "Thought it would be all drinking and good times. You'd be amazed how much of a buzz kill paperwork can be."

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     The amber liquor was surprising, but it slid down her throat easily, even if it burned her throat. She makes a face, one of surprise, as she takes the glass away from her lips and looks down at the liquor in her glass. Swirling it around and then smelling it, "Are you just full of surprises. This isn't sweet, and has a bite."
     The glass is set down on the counter of the bar, "Did I?" she asks with a smirk, "I thought I was just another in the crowd." she teases him. Though she can relate to the latter, "I do know, I use to run a club myself. The paperwork is so boring."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks a little bit, "Too much sweet and you stop appreciating sweet things." He says with a wicked grin, "And as I recall, you like things with a little bite to them." He sips his own drink. Normally he only drinks sweet tea when on the floor, but seems to be in an indulgent frame of mind today. "You wouldn't want to work at another one would you?" He says only half joking, "It would be nice to have someone else around who knows what they are doing office wise.

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     "I do." Thea responds automaticly at the indication that she likes with a bite. A slow smile pulling on her lips, though she adverts her eyes away from him for a moment.
     Though her eyes do meet his at the question, "Are you being serious?" There is a glance over her shoulder at the club, before she looks back the man, "If you are serious, I would be." Her left leg lifts and crosses over her right, hiking the short hem of her dress up.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith grins a bit, shrugging slightly. "It's a serious offer, yes." He says simply, "I'll be honest, I think your name alone would bring a lot of clout with it. I mean to be frank, the Queen name has prestige and history. The Raith family is most known as the premier purveyors of Adult Entertainment in the world, if we are known at all." He sips his drink and alls, "Though that would be a business meeting, and I hope you didn't come tonight to discuss business.

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     There is a light in Thea's eyes that seems to brighten her features at the idea being serious, leaning closer towards him with a smile playing on her lips, her hand still wrapped around her drink on the counter of the bar. "I wouldn't be here if the Raith name werent known." Leaning back she picks up her scotch and takes a drink of the biting drink.
     "No." she says after she swallows, "I didn't come here to discuss business, but that is an added bonus." She tilts her head at him, making her curls fall to the right, "I hope you didn't greet me with a drink to discuss business." she counters.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks a little bit, "Why Thea," He says playfully, "You just said you ran a Club yourself, so you know better then anyone, your "pleasure" is my firsy order of "business". He says reaching out and letting his finger glide across her arm, Dark blue eyes glittering with amusement.

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
The finger that grazes her skin causes her body to heat, licking her lips before biting her lower lip. "Obviously." she says to him, her eyes never leaving his as she lifts her glass up to take another drink.
     "So, tell me." she says, setting down her drink, always keeping his eyes, "Did you sense I was coming? Or did someone inform you I was coming through the door?"

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks wickedly, but shrugs and reaches into his shiry pocket to pull out a small earpiece, the sort that they use on spy shows and the like. "Axe always informs me when someone he knows I will want to give special attention to arrives." He says honestly, then returns the earpiece to his pocket, "But I've decided now I want you to have "all of my attention."

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     There is a flicker of a glance to the ear piece when it's shown to her. Thea smirks at it, before looking back at him. "So I'm more than just on the list." she says, knowing the answer to that considering he wanted all of her attention. "You certainly have all of my attention." The sound of the music behind them turning into a dulled hummed.

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith smirks a little bit, tilting his head as if in consideration. "Well then, since we are in agreement there," He says mildly playful, "what do we do with this attention? Get a nice booth, have some dinner, enjoy the show, maybe even talk a little business? Or shall we take our drinks somewhere more private?

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     "I think all of those options could be easily done with taking the drinks somewhere private. Am I right?" With that, The slips off her stool and takes her drink off the counter. Turning back only to pick up her clutch purse and tucking it under her arm. "Are you hungry? She asks him."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith gives her a wicked looks, taking his own drink in one hand and offering her his other arm, apparently intending to lead her up to his office, or possibly his apartment just off of it. "Starving." He says amused.

Speedy (Queen) has posed:
     There is equal amusement that reflects on Thea's face as she takes his arm. "By all means then, lead the way." There is a single glance around her to those that she can see before she turns her head back to Thomas to guide her.
