Re: Study - Russell and Rafe - OTA
Russell tried not to fidget with the tuxedo. Being the Alpha of a pack on the island, he had to show up to these things from time to time. To represent his people. Damn, he hated these formal things. He couldn't remember the last time he'd been to one.
Here he was standing in the study of a vampire's house in a rented tuxedo and formal shoes. His hair, usually worn loose was tied into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. Rafe had helped him with it. The silk ribbon in his hair matched his bowtie and pocket square. Russ thought he looked passable. But being here, in a house full of so many ancient vampires, made him nervous, not that he would allow them to see it.
He was hoping not to run into a particular ancient vampire. Or maybe he was. Though it would be awkward. Russ would have to act as though they didn't know each other. Weren't lovers. Part of him wished to have Carrick see him dressed up and looking like this.
On the other hand, his slave, Rafe, was very nervous and practically clinging to his coat tails. "Rafael, relax," he said putting a hand on the werejaguar's shoulder. "I only have to put in an appearance. We won't stay long."
