[Clever Girl] For Hawthorne22

" While I am a raging beast myself, one thing I love more then fighting itsself.. Rough love. " She then smirked, bringing her hand behind Phoebe's head and pulled it down a bit, leaning up so their noses almost touches, her eyes set only upon the beauty which was engraved within the eyes of Phoebe and soon enough, Karina's smirk turned into a smile. " You wanted me for yourself, did you not? I found it odd that you knew me and my relationship with Seraphim.. Maybe you should explain to me, why you wanted me so much.. Maybe.. Just maybe. "

She suddenly slid the other hand along the side of Phoebe's breast before giving it a squeeze. " I might.. Let you have me. "

Phoebe remained outwardly stoic, a motionless statue in the face of Karina's sensual teasing. Inside, embers of attraction began to flicker back to life. Karina's eyes revealed passion, power, spirit. The juxtaposition of her ferocious nature and that playful grin was captivating.

That name. The subtle shift in Phoebe's features was immediately visible the instant Karina mentioned her. "You did not seem so disposed to it in the hospital," Phoebe replied bluntly. Remembering that episode dug up a great many painful memories. She let out a soft hiss as Karina groped her. Taking a deep breath, Phoebe steeled her gaze, "I wanted to crush you. To crush everyone that reminded me of... her." A longer blink than usual. Phoebe did not want to even think her name. "But, the way you fought. I saw what she saw. I wanted you." Phoebe paused brushed a lock of hair back. She kept her hand up, gently tracing a line down Karina's jaw. "Everything beyond that... I just followed my instincts."

Karina could only smirk when she heard Phoebe, it seemed she was getting the motives out of the purple haired beauty, which only served Karina's purposes of what she wanted from her. " So that was how it was, hmm? " She rested back against the pillows, looking straight into Phoebe's eyes.

" Back in the hospital, I was under the influence of what she did to me.. And that you raped me.. " She brought her hand up to rest upon phoebe's cheek, squeeze it gently and guided her face closer to her own, whispering something out that was barely audable. " If you still want me.. You can try right now. "

Perhaps it was Karina's way of giving Phoebe of chance of having her or perhaps it was the option she was presenting. While Karina had her relations with Megumi, they were never getting close and Karina only wanted the strong to interact with and in her eyes, Phoebe was just that woman.

Phoebe blinked, twice, at Karina's invitation. It was not at all what she expected. It was Karina's rightful place to do as she wished with Phoebe, not... invite her. It is how she treated Karina and expected to be taken in turn until she could crush Karina once more...

Still...

Having a woman as beautiful as Karina here like this was enough to make one reconsider one's narrow view of the world.

Phoebe blinked once more. She did not think she had the energy to take Karina to either of their satisfactions but she did not care. Karina's lips had dangled over hers like a tantalizing fruit for this whole conversation. Phoebe's urges burst through. She leaned in, grabbing Karina and taking her in a kiss. Grunting in pain into the kiss as she fought a lot of residual stiffness and soreness to maintain it. Her lips met Karina's passionately for as long as she could before breaking off, panting. Phoebe gave the faintest hint of a wry smile, "I think I get the message." Bringing her arm up to Karina's shoulder, she would try to overturn Karina but just did not have the strength. "Body's... still not caught up with me yet, though..."

Karina found it amusing the way Phoebe was now, like a little lost predator now in the hands of the so called prey Phoebe thought she was. She was about to say something when the kiss was initiated, causing Karina to widen her eyes slightly and rested back on her hands. It was odd, but pleasant aswell. Perhaps this was what she was really missing, a person that was strong enough to control her.

" Maybe you should rest, then? You only get one chance to prove you can beat me, after all. " She felt Phoebe's attempt to make them turn and actually did turn and rested against the bedpost, looking at Phoebe with a innocent expression.

A rare sight, Phoebe gave a genuine smile and a hushed snicker. "I get one chance? YOU got a do over." Phoebe brushed her hair back and winced as the exertion brought flared up a pain in her chest. "I will take as many as I need to prove myself better."

Phoebe let out a hissing sigh, "Just, not right now. Enjoy it while you can, little guitarist." Phoebe seemed almost playful with that last taunt, before she returned to her cold, business-like self. "Who ARE we up against anyway? I figured your little friend in the ring was pulling your strings just fine."

" Mmm. " Karina watched with interest but she was sure Phoebe would not bite. She seemed like a patient person who would rather wait for the right moment, so she might aswell give her that. " Alright then, Phoebe.. " Her hands remained upon the girl's hips, idly massaging them while she rested back.

" She trained me but no one will ever control me. " Eyes were narrowed, Karina showed the tension and danger that lurked within them. There was a sudden animalistic tone within her voice, that killer instinct she had shown to Phoebe. " She will never have any power over me. "

Phoebe let out a soft sigh of contentment as Karina massaged her. "Th... thanks." She whispered quietly, almost reluctantly.

"I can see that." Karina's sudden flash of ferocity made her seem all the more attractive. "I'm sure she does not think so, though. That's always the problem."

Karina would smirk as she leant back. It actually felt nice to have Phoebe close for once without hurting eachother though that was also on Karina's list to do. She would tilt her head to the side so she could whisper in Phoebe's ear.

" I think you would love staying here with me. You can meet my little sister.. "

She'd chuckle at first, bringing her hand to the back of Phoebe's head to gently stroke through her hair.

A huff, almost a chuckle, escaped Phoebe's lips, "You keep a little sister around? I almost want to stick around just to see that relationship." Phoebe caressed Karina's hips softly. "Almost."

After a second, Phoebe leaned in and whispered, "Fine, you win. I'll try to like it here. Just warn your little sister that she just might see her big sister get beaten to a pulp once I am ready to put you back in your place."
