Stas had excused Sunny from his company so she could spend some time with her friends (particularly the ones that didn't approve of him). He figured while she was off having fun he could find some fun of his own.

Seeing Erica sitting off by herself at a secluded table was just about the best kind of fun he could think of. He made his way over to her and slinked into the seat next to her. "How does the evening find you?" he asked leaning ever so slightly in her direction.

Out of all of the people that could have preferably stumbled upon her, Stas was high up on Erica's priority list. It meant that, at least, one part of her evening might be interesting. She offering him a crooked little smile, scooting her chair closer almost as soon as he sat into his.

"Pretty good, just a little bored," she replied, heaving a dramatic little sigh. "Could be better. What about you?"

"Playing nice all night," Stas replied with an ironic little smirk. "I have an excess buildup of bad."

His hand wandered under the table until it gripped firmly on her leg. "I like this dress." His free hand moved to pull at one of the sparkly tassels. "Very festive."

"That must have been so painful for you," Erica replied sarcastically, her eyes rolling playfully at him. "I don't understand why you put up this facade anyway, you know.. there are girls who like you just how you are. Bad and full of yourself," she explained, trailing off a bit as his hand touched her leg, sending undeniable shivers through the whole limb.

"I didn't wear it for you, but I'm glad you like it," she shot back easily, trying to play him off. Hard to get was always the most fun when the getting was.. well, easy. Her own hands stayed on top of the table for the time being, still holding her chin, as she watched him closely. "And I expect you'd like it even more on the floor somewhere, is that what you're trying to imply with that look on your face?"

"You have no idea." He let his hand run down toward her knee, attempting to play coy though they both knew very well where this would end up. "Sometimes I enjoy the chase." Then he smirked at her, that awful predatory grin that signaled he wasn't bothering to keep the bad boy at bay anymore. "Sometimes I prefer the feast."

He let his free hand fall to the table as if burned by this comment. "Did you wear it for someone else to enjoy?" He didn't bother to wonder why they weren't enjoying it at this very moment, because frankly he was. "I think it would make a very lovely pile on the floor. If that so happens to be my floor all the better for me."

"I did come with someone else," Erica replied idly, playing clueless, as if she were not making the comment to toy with him. "You probably don't know him, he's really pretty cute," she mused, sending a sidelong glance toward Stas, feeling her lips quirking into a faint smile.

"It's a shame you're wasting your whole night here with your good girl. Because we could have.. you know, made plans. We really need to catch up, I think."

Her eyes never left him, lips still smirking.

"Perhaps next time I will plan better," he replied just as idly. "I was not aware you frequented such events," he began to tease. "Had I known perhaps your date would have been devilishly handsome instead of merely pretty cute."

He removed his hand from her leg and wrapped it around her shoulder. "We do need to catch up. Perhaps there is a place more suited to intimate conversation?"

	Erica/Stas

Erica heaved a dramatic sigh, still smiling all of the while, as she leaned slightly against Stas hand against her shoulder. It was slightly cool against the flushed skin; even if she hadn't been dancing much, just being in the crowd had warmed her up quite a bit. She felt restless. "I imagine that if there is one," she whispered, "you would be the one to know the location, don't you think?"

She glanced around briefly, to be sure they weren't being watched, and glad to confirm that they weren't. "But why do you ask, huh? Are you saying you want to skip out on the dance, Stas?"

"I know of several," he replied with a daring crook of his eyebrow. He stroked his fingers over her warm skin as if he didn't know exactly what he was doing.

He followed her gaze without moving his head, his face turned completely toward her, as if she were the only girl in the room he wanted to look at tonight. "Would you be willing to skip out on the festivities with me? I mean of course, if I were actually thinking about it."

"Don't you think your date would be angry with you? I mean, assuming that I was willing to go along with your scheme," she replied coyly, staring right back at him, and seeming rather unfazed by any intensity that she may have been feeling.

"I am pretty bored though, so I guess that if you are suggesting it, I could tag along. It's not like I've got anything better to do here," she added, turning her face from him, eying the crowd once more. "You have to keep me amused though."

"I told her to go spend some time with her friends. I doubt she will even notice I have left." He smirked at her reply. "Of course, that is only if you were willing to come along with me."

He stood unceremoniously and grinned at her. "If you would be so willing I will be just outside the door waiting for you to catch up. Lest wagging tongues accuse you of running off with me." He winked and sauntered off, relatively certain Erica would meet him in a minute.
