RP Browsing
Who: Phoenix and Eve
What: Browsing the bookshelves.
When: 3 September 2027
Where: Flourish and Blotts, then Taboo
Warnings: NSFW
Completion Status: In progress

One of his favorite times of the year to visit his favorite bookshop was just a few days after the kids went back to Hogwarts. Even though he'd spent plenty of time there during the summers between school years, as an adult, Phoenix much preferred the calm of post holiday shopping. It had an ambiance of a great sigh of relief, of a promise of rest and recuperation.

As he walked through the winding shelves of books, Phoenix closed his eyes, breathing in the familiar, comforting new book smell. Flourish and Blotts had been about the only store he'd never stolen from, and the shop was still rather precious to him. He'd even donated a significant sum to Mrs. Nott's Literacy Flourishes event this summer, something he wasn't prone to doing. But she and her husband had always shown him kindness when he'd been a scrawny, poor, orphaned Muggleborn loitering among the books, and that wasn't something to be forgotten.

Phoenix wasn't browsing for anything in particular today, though. He simply wanted to look around until he stumbled upon the book (or books) that insisted upon going home with him.

Eve had waited until after the kids had left for Hogwarts to pop into Flourish and Blotts. She needed to pick up a few extra books for their themed night at Taboo, but she was also there to pick up a new romance novel for herself. She had read through everything she already owned, and there was something about downloading them to her Windle that she hated. She needed to hold a real book, there was something about the smell, turning the pages, all of it.

She had been walking through the shelves for over an hour, but she had still yet to find the right romance novel for her. She currently was standing in front of her favorite section, bright eyes glued to a book that was just out of her reach. She had already tried reaching for it herself, but she was just a little too short for that. When she hadn't been able to find her wand, she decided to try once again to reach it. She lifted up on tip toe, stretching slender fingers out to try to reach it, and she let out a loud noise of triumph when fingertips grazed against the spine. She was too short though, and was back on flat feet in seconds, huffing. She'd need to find help, she realized, as she turned to find someone that worked there. It was then she noticed the taller man that had been wandering the shelves. "I'm so sorry, am I in your way?"

A book had caught his attention, though before he could pull it from the shelf, the pretty voice drew his attention, and Phoenix let his eyes follow his ears. "Not at all, poppet!" he assured her with a grin.

"You look as though you could use some help," he suggested with a raised brow, though he wasn't actually offering his assistance. She was a lovely creature, especially put on display in that tight workout getup, and he didn't mind getting a good look at her.

"I'm only a little short," she admitted, pointing towards the spine to the book she had just barely grasped seconds earlier. "I can just barely touch it, but I can't get a handle on it. I don't think the owners would like if I climbed in the shelves..." she trailed off a moment, before she gave him a smile. "Any chance you'd save me, get the book down for me? I'd use my wand, but I apparently didn't put expandable pockets into this outfit yet," she said with a huff, directly completely at herself. While she never minded being a damsel in distress, she hated when she actually put herself in the position to be a damsel in distress.

Lips twitching in amusement as she rambled that little bit, Phoenix lifted a hand to push his glasses up his nose. He didn't often wear them out and about, but his eyes weren't feeling contacts today, and he knew he'd be looking through books, so it seemed the prudent choice in accessory.

His head tilted birdlike as he glanced at the book she'd indicated, just slightly jutting out beyond the other books in its row. He would be able to get it easily, even without the use of his wand, but he wondered if she'd be interested in bargaining for it. "That depends. I don't typically do favors for free. What might be in it for me, poppet?" He wasn't actually propositioning her, and his words were said playfully, but she looked like the sort of woman who'd enjoy the banter at least. And he already knew she didn't have her wand on her, so he wasn't risking being jinxed. At most, she could punch him if she were offended, he supposed, but with their height difference, he didn't think it would pack much heat.

She was unable to hide her surprise and amusement at his words, a laugh slipping from her. "What are you thinkin'?" she asked, American accent shining through in that moment. He fit her type, the tall stoic sort, and those glasses? She thought they'd look rather good on her nightstand.

"Oh, I can think of all sorts of things, but I was hoping to see how creative you might be." Phoenix sighed dramatically then. "Shame," he said, as though she'd disappointed him. He lifted an arm up and plucked the book she wanted off the shelf, moving it to the next shelf down. She would still need to stretch to get it, but she would be able to get it herself now. "Good day," he chirped, tipping an imaginary hat at her before turning to leave.

There was one thing that Eve wasn't used to, it was that. He had completely dismissed her, he wasn't falling all over himself to pay attention to her. She was even wearing one of her favorite outfits that always caught the attention of anyone that even looked in her direction.

Yet, this tall gentleman was trying to walk away. "Wait!" she sounded far more eager than she liked, surprising herself. "Can I get a redo?" she asked hopefully, unable to think of anything in that moment. She could have kicked herself.

When she called after him, Phoenix paused, quirking a brow, though he didn't turn until she asked for a redo. And then, carrying on with the dramatics, he gave her an exaggerated bow, dark eyes sparkling mischievously. "I suppose you may, m'lady," he answered, curious to see what she might say or do now that he'd given her another opportunity. He did so love throwing the usual scripts out the window. Life was infinitely more fun this way!

The bow he gave her, had Eve biting her bottom lip as she watched him. He was fun, she hadn't had fun in ages. Usually, it was only Nate or Iris that she found herself enjoying time with. Currently, she was enjoying being pushed by the tall, dark, and handsome stranger.

"Let's see," she said, buying herself some time to think of just what she wanted to offer him. "If you would be so kind as to help me, I'll take you to the highest mountain top, and help you," she said in a low purr, having stepped closer to him as she spoke, her fingertips ghosting across the zipper of his pants. Her bright eyes even glanced down, so he'd understand just how she was helping. The simulation room had been fun with Gavin, but she hadn't truly enjoyed it. She had a feeling if he went with her, well she might find herself with a different outcome.

Ahh, so she was indeed that sort, Phoenix thought with no small amount of amusement. His body responded to her ghost-like touch, to the innuendo in her voice, though not so much as to be uncomfortable yet. "Ahh, but poppet, my heart is on the sea," he intoned, letting his eyes go a bit wide with the words.

"One can't just steal a pirate away to a mountaintop!" he sighed, shaking his head.

"Haven't I told you, dear pirate? This princess has a magic room, that'll take us anywhere you'd like to be. Completely transports you," she said with a sparkle of mischief in her eye. "It's one of the perks to making fantasies come true for a living." The book didn't matter nearly as much as it had just moments before, but she was definitely not leaving without it.

She hadn't said so, but as soon as she gave those little details, Phoenix's brain was spinning, connecting dots, making inferences. A split second later, a glint of recognition lit his eyes. "Ahh, you must work at Taboo, then," he said knowingly. He'd seen Nate O'Leary tell his darling Penny about the new simulation rooms on that Winstagram post, and he'd talked about it with her around then as well, but he'd been rather busy last month and hadn't heard any more about it.

It was her turn then to be dramatic, curtseying as if she were in a dress. "Manager of Taboo, at your service," she said happily. Then she gave him a pout, clasping hands just behind her back so that her back arched, pressing her chest towards him. "Will you help a poor damsel in distress out, dear pirate?"

"What a scintillating career," he murmured, delighting in imagining the sorts of things she would be able to get up to in that sort of position. He chuckled as she continued, returning to the bookshelf to pluck the book off and hold it out for her. "I'm not a member of Taboo, though," he warned. He hadn't wanted to submit to the background check they did on their clients, wasn't comfortable with anyone digging into his past, even though he wasn't the sort of threat they were screening out.

Eve enjoyed the compliment, thrilled that she had his attention. Her hands came up to take the book, letting her eyes sweep over him once more, taking all of him in. "I can work around that, don't worry," she promised, stepping in closer. "I'm Eve," she said, after a short moment debating which name to give him. She wanted his approval, he had hit one of her kinks, and so she had given him her real name.

One dark brow quirked up at that, wondering just what her workaround might be. It had never bothered him to not be a member of Taboo, as he never had trouble finding ways to indulge his carnal proclivities, but he would enjoy getting a taste of it, he rather thought. He knew Penny was a fan, anyway. "A pleasure, Eve. I'm Phoenix," he introduced himself. Most of the time, he didn't bother giving a pseudonym. Half the time people assumed his name wasn't his legal one, anyway.

She had goosebumps when he introduced himself, and she hoped that was his real name. She had heard stranger, so it wasn't so much of a stretch to hope, she thought. "I'm going to go pay for my book, then we can head over to Taboo?" While she hadn't intended to make a new friend on her trip to the bookstore today, she was rather glad she had needed the help getting her book from the shelf.

"Certainly, poppet," he agreed easily, stepping out of the way so she could pass by and get to the register. While she paid, he turned to look longingly at the books one more time, thinking he'd come back next week to completely his perusal. When she was finished at the register, Phoenix walked to meet her near the front of the shop, gallantly offering her his arm. "Shall we?" He wondered briefly if he ought to suggest inviting someone to join them. Would his darling Penny enjoy this woman? Or perhaps a man, someone like Aldrich. It had been too long since they'd mingled.

There was something about that word, poppet that she really enjoyed. Gods, she was going to be sure she enjoyed herself tonight.

She was quick when she headed up to the register, buying her book, and slipping into a bag. She would forever be mad at herself for leaving her wand behind, something she really ought never to do. She felt so safe there though, over the last six years Nate had made sure she felt at home on Victory Road.

Her arm slipped through his, nodding her head. "We shall." She led the way out the front door then, so that he would be able to apparate them to Taboo. "I was going to use the floo at Victory road, but if you apparated us, then I'd definitely need to get on my knees to repay you," she quipped softly.

If there was an area in which Phoenix had become quite familiar with in his adulthood, it was Blackpool. So many drunk Muggle tourists just waiting to be pickpocketed or conned. It was too much to resist, which is why he didn't hang out in the city often anymore.

"Mmm, how's one to resist an offer like that," he quipped back, waggling his brows behind his glasses at her. Pulling up his mental map of the area, Phoenix apparated them to the point nearest Taboo, and they walked the rest of the way there. "Do you ever have orgies here?" he asked curiously once they'd entered the reception hall.

It should have set off bells that he was able to apparate them so close to Taboo, but really it just made her a little more comfortable. It meant he dealt in the grey areas of the world, and she rather enjoyed those grey areas.

His question was rewarded with a devious smirk, both of her brows arching. "We have entire kink rooms for various activities. That one is used more often than you'd think," she admitted, leaning a bit into his side as she led him up to the receptionist.

"I'm going to be taking Mr. Phoenix on a tour of Taboo today. We're going to end the tour in the Venice suite, it is still open?" she asked the woman behind the counter, untangling her arm from his then so that she could get the necessary paperwork that just said she had a guest on the premises.

"Well, isn't that industrious," he quipped, eyes shining at the thought. He wondered if there might be a way to get a membership without them digging into his background. Could he set up an entire false identity that could trick their system?

Phoenix was curious about what the Venice suite was, but he would be patient, especially since the receptionist informed Eve that the requested suite was, indeed, available. Once Eve had filled out the paperwork, the receptionist asked him to hold out his hand. Casting an unfamiliar spell that he was dying to decode, and intricate pattern appeared on the back of his hand, presumably making him as a non-member. He rubbed at it curiously with his other hand, unsurprised when it didn't smudge.

"It will fade in twelve hours, Mr. Phoenix. Please enjoy your tour, and I'll be happy to process your membership afterward," she informed him with a winning smile, as though he would of course want a membership after taking the tour. He wondered what their percentages of conversion were.

Eve may have been filling out paperwork, but she noticed the way he seemed excited over the mark on his hand. She smirked at the paperwork, getting more excited to show him around the place. She wondered just what he did for a living, likely a cursebreaker if she were to put money on it.

Once the paperwork was filled out, and handed back to the woman behind the counter. They were all set. His name was Phoenix Blotts, and for all intends and purposes, she figured it worked. No one would look too hard at it, and she'd remember who he was, and where she had met him. It was a win/win.

"Where shall we start your tour?" she asked, as she was grabbing her back-up wand from behind the counter. This wasn't the first time she had gone out without her wand, likely not her last. "I can show you the rooms first, or we can grab a drink at the bar in the main room?"

Smirking at the lovely woman, Phoenix found himself saying, "I yield to your expertise, poppet." He was eager to see where she would start them, what she would be most eager to show him.

When they first entered the main lounge room, he was impressed with the large space filled with warm colors and clusters of furniture. Even this early on a Friday, there were people milling about, though he imagined it would pick up in the evening. "So, where to, Eve?" he asked, his voice pitching a bit lower as his eyes found hers again.

Where did she want to take him first? The goosebumps his voice gave her let her know to start with her favorite room. "While I enjoy our non-touching rooms," she said, motioning towards the three doors that led to the very rooms she had mentioned. "I think my absolute favorite is upstairs, on the second floor."

Bright baby blues glanced towards the balcony then to see if Nate was up there, before they came back to meet Phoenix's, "Let's go," she said while her hand slipped into his, leading her way through the club. While the lifts were always fun, she rather enjoyed using the stairs, as it gave her partner a wonderful view of her ass. With the outfit she had worn today, she was sure he was getting a fantastic show, as she led him up to the second floor.

It was there that she led him up to Lounge 2, where her favorite sex swing was. "This is likely my favorite room," she told him, while turning around to face him and walk backwards into the lounge. "Mostly because my favorite sex swing is in here. It's pink and hits the spot no matter the partner," she gushed, unashamed to talk about her favorite toys.

Phoenix followed Eve across the large lounge area to the stairwell, not about to pass up the opportunity to enjoy the view as they climbed to the second floor. "Well that should be fun," he quipped, following her into Lounge 2. The lounge was larger than he'd expected, though it was still a smaller version of the one downstairs. Large comfy sofas and chairs were positioned in a few different clusters, and even at this hour, there were several couples scattered about, kissing or sitting close to chat.

A glance around showed Phoenix that there were three doors each on either side of the room plus one more at the back. Shelves lined the back wall on either side of the door, and they were filled with a large variety of toys: dildos, strap-ons, vibrators, cock rings, nipple clamps, and more. How delightful! "What are your favorite toys?" he asked curiously, itching to go look at them. Several signs throughout the room instructed guests to put any toy touched in the discard bin to be fully cleaned and sanitized, and he wondered if there were spells in place to ensure compliance.

It was such an innocent question, Eve found herself wanting to please him though. She mentally joked she was so fucked mentally, before she finally reached forward for her favorite toy. She pulled down her favorite strap-on, a black holster with a bright pink attachments. "Hands down, my favorite. Runner up are the nipple clamps," she admitted, letting her fingers run up the length of the pink dildo.

"Which would you pick?" she asked curiously, feeling herself warm just thinking about which he might pick. Would it be a paddle? Or maybe it would be an electric wand, the possibilities were really endless. It was one of her favorite parts about working at Taboo. She had access to all sorts of things.

Watching with rapt attention as she took her favorite toy down, Phoenix felt a delighted shiver rush through his body, his cock stirring. He should have expected her to turn the question back on him, but he'd been so distracted by thoughts of what she could do with that strap-on that it hadn't occurred to him.

Chuckling, Phoenix stepped closer to her. "Oh, poppet, any toy can be my favorite if it's used properly," he quipped. "And I think I'll be quite the fan of this one," he added, letting a finger stroke down the bright pink length she was holding. He'd be more than happy to hit all the right spots for her on her favorite swing if she'd do the same for him.

Hearing him use the name again had a shiver running down her spine, giving him a seductive smile. "I know you'll be quite the fan. Fun fact, I have the same one in my collection at home," she said in an almost whisper, as if sharing a secret. The secret was that she wanted to see him outside of the club, at least once more. See if whatever was happening between them would happen again. She was enjoying playing with fire.

"Oh do you?" he replied slowly, lips curved in a mischievous grin. She certainly seemed like fun, and he couldn't say he was disappointed to have been drawn into interaction with her. It was generally something he avoided unless he was angling for something.

Reaching to the shelf behind her, Phoenix plucked a set of nipple clamps, leaning in toward her as he did. "Now where is that swing you love so much?" he murmured, full of anticipation.

Eve nodded her head happily, getting goosebumps just from that smile he was giving her. Then he was so close, plucking the set of nipple clamps from the wall, before he was asking about her swing. "Room two," she breathed, pointing just beside them. Her stomach gave a fluttery little flip, just before she slid her hand into his, and then turned quickly to lead them into the room that showed as open still.

Once inside, she flipped the switch that let anyone outside know that the room was occupied. Eve was still giving a tour, technically, and so walked to the far end of the room. "Each lounge has three rooms, much like this one. The toys that are out for play tend to become more interesting the farther back you get from the lifts," she told him, setting her strap on on the table.

Squeezing her hand, Phoenix followed her into room two. Keeping the clamps against one palm, he started undoing the buttons of his shirt, certain he wasn't mistaking the direction in which she was intending things. "It's a wonderful room," he said negligently. The thought of the other lounges was intriguing, certainly, but he didn't anticipate having the opportunity to explore them, still not willing to go through the process to become a member.

Phoenix was thin, a lifetime of food scarcity (aside from his time at Hogwarts) combined with his vegetarian lifestyle didn't lend itself well to a broad, muscular build, but he was pleasantly toned, a smattering of hair across his chest that he couldn't be bothered to do anything about. "Show me how you like to use the swing," he suggested, his hands starting to work his trousers open.

The business-person in her should have been upset that he didn't care about the room, per say. He was more interested in them getting into the swing, she was much happier with that. For once, she was going to allow herself to be selfish, and fuck the most gorgeous man she had seen in some time.

"Shall I get into it first, or you?" she asked, taking his cue then, and removing the sports bra top, letting it fall to the ground. She shimmied out of the tight yoga pants, leaving her in just the white thong she had worn under it so that she didn't have lines. It would have been absolutely ruined the look.
