kate & tim
Kate knew that aesthetic was important to Emma. Especially for something like this. And so she'd put effort into her appearance. The dress she wore was short and cut low enough to draw attention and was her signature red, her lipstick and heels chosen to match. And as for what was under the dress, well that was for whoever was partnered with her. If they were lucky. But more than anything, she wanted to give Emma something to look at. Even if they had elected not to spend the evening together, she still wanted the other woman to appreciate the visual.
Kate had learned a lot from Emma over the years and she was putting it to good use now.
She had to wonder if Eros was playing a game when she ended up with Tim, of all people. She wasn't disappointed. Far from it. She'd enjoyed their previous time together, even though it had ended a bit dramatically. And she and Tim had stayed friends in the aftermath, albeit friends who flirted. She just hadn't pursued anything because she was teaching him control and it didn't seem right to mix sex into the student-teacher dynamic.
She couldn't remember what her drink was called, something appropriately filthy, but it was vibrantly red and that alone had made it appealing. She really had gotten an aesthetic for herself. Bringing it to her lips, she stifled a smile at time's comment, glancing around the room before gesturing subtly to a few of the female pairings. "Clearly some women got keys," she said dryly. "Though if you wanted to be the lock this time there are ways of making that happen."
She saw no reason to pretend they weren't going to end up in bed this time. They both knew they would. Playing coy about it was a waste of time.
