Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious. (Adonia.)

[Deleted]

When Adonia and Daniel last saw each other she told him to meet her sometime on the Durmstrang boat. While he was more than willing to go the next day classes got in the way followed by some other things. Classes got in the way the next day as well and by the time he got free it was already late. He doubted she would have minded if it was late but he was sure the professors of both schools would. Two days later and he made sure he could get out of the castle this time, partly to see Adonia again and partly because he wanted to see this ship up close before they left. It was still mid- afternoon by the time he could get out.

All in all Daniel figured it took him twenty minutes to get to the dock where the Durmstrang boat rested from his common room. Ten of those minutes was probably just dealing with the stairs alone it felt like to him. Daniel stood there on the dock just looking at the boat, it was an impressive sight. Like something ripped right out of history and Daniel half expected to see pirates running around on the deck. All he did see was other Durmstrang students. Daniel wasn't even sure if he was allowed on the boat but no one ever said other students weren't allowed and that was enough for him. Besides the other schools seemed to have free reign to go all around Hogwarts, it only seemed fair to him. Never the less he made sure he had as little on that would identify him as a Hogwarts student right away.

As he finally boarded the boat Daniel half expected to be called out immediately and kicked off but the Durmstrang students just went by on the deck. Either he was allowed or they didn't care, both worked out in his favor. He suddenly realized he didn't know how to find Adonia or if she was even here right now. Daniel laughed quietly to himself and shrugged. He could have written her somehow before coming but he hadn't and it was too late now anyway. "Hey fellow Durmstrang student." Daniel said to one student as they walked by getting their attention, if looks didn't make him stand out on this boat his accent sure must have so he might as well make a joke before possibly getting kicked off. "I'm looking for Adonia or where ever we keep the pirate treasure?" The student looked confused but told him to wait and went inside the ship. Daniel assumed to find Adonia, as pirate treasure was less likely but he laughed at the thought as he leaned and looked over the side of the boat while waiting.

Adonia didn't really notice the days pass before seeing Daniel again. She was well occupied with other things, and other people, that was just her way. Still, when her fellow student came down and told her that some weird kid from another school was on deck looking for her, she knew that it was him and she grinned. "He said something about looking for you or pirate treasure...?" her classmate told her. Adonia laughed, standing up from the dining chair she was sitting in and thanking the classmate before going up the stairs two at a time.

When she arrived up top she tilted her head to the side, surveying Daniel and his lack of any lion logos on his clothes. She bit her bottom lip, shook her head, and started to cross over to him. She lifted both of her hands to the sides, presenting herself, "didn't you know, Danny?" she started in a smooth, sweet tone, "Adonia is the treasure aboard this ship," she explained. She raised one eyebrow at him, still making her way across to him, "and what will you do with this treasure now that you've found it?"

With no one hassling him while he waited he could only assume he actually was fine being on their boat. That or the student he had spoken to was off to get someone to kick him off. Whatever the reason he just waited looking over the edge and whatever happened happened. He spent the time wondering just how many students dived off this thing in a day, he would assume quite a few. As long as you dived right it should be safe he imagined. Daniel also spent some time wondering how this boat got around, he knew it traveled to bodies of water underneath the water but was it anybody of water or just this lake. If he somehow hijacked this boat would it take him off the coast of America. All these were just idle thoughts as Daniel waited for the aftermath of asking the Durmstrang student about Adonia.

Waiting always had the habit of making things take longer but soon enough he heard a voice say his name and he smiled. Daniel didn't need to turn around to know who it was but did just to greet her. "I had a feeling that was the case but I'd feel much more comfortable stealing gold and jewels than a woman away." Daniel replied with a smirk, he should have known she would say that but he was surprised the student even told Adonia that part. She asked him what he was going to do with the treasure now and he just smirked slightly and leaned back on the boat railing. "The same things any man does when he finds treasure such as yourself. They either show it off or hide away and keep it all to themselves." If she wanted to continue this treasure analogy Daniel could more than play along. Some of his favorite novels were of pirates or medieval knight stories.

Adonia laughed when he said he wasn't comfortable stealing a woman. "Understandable. I guess it could be considered kidnapping, or... Woman-napping," she chuckled. She would prefer to steal people ober treasure any day, but she understood the concept of the concern.

Then he answered her quesiton, saying he would either show her off or hide her away. Her brow furrowed, "and which will you do? If you show me off I need I get more dressed up," she explained, pointing behind her to the stairs. "But if you hide me away for yourself...," she took two more steps so she was right on front of him, "then I think dressing down would suit the occasion more," she said in a very soft voice. "So, what'll it be, Danny boy?" she raised an eyebrow high, her eyes fixed on his on a soft but challenging gaze. Daniel was far too much fun to flirt with.

"Besides I'm the one on your schools ship, if anything I'm the one whose going to be shanghaied." Daniel joked but if this was some sort of pirates ship that was an actual possibility, lucky for him it was just a school ship now. "Also I believe it's still just called kidnapping even if the victim is a beautiful woman." Daniel replied assume it was, he hadn't ever heard of the name of it changing based on who it happened too.

Adonia asked which one he would pick as she explained what would have to happen with either while she got closer and looked toward him with those beautiful eyes of hers. If Daniel had the time he might have realized just how freeing being at Hogwarts was, with all intention to return back to America it took some pressure off. What people would think of him or the after effect of most things would only be around for just another year. It allowed him to feel free and more relaxed about the things he did. "These are the hard choices in my life." Daniel finally answered while debating both for a second. "Do I risk picking one and never getting the chance to see the other. Both are so tempting in their own way." Still he was going to have to pick one now as he was the one who brought all this up. "Yet if I'm honest with myself it would have to be the latter one."

@adonia

[Deleted]

He said that if anything he would be the one who was 'shanghaied' and she chuckled. Now, there was an idea. She didn't comment on that... yet. Then he said it was still called kidnapping even if she was a beautiful woman and she rolled her eyes, but her smirk was still gladly in place. "I'd gladly be your victim if you kept saying things like that," she said in a low voice. She liked being called beautiful, of course, who didn't?

After a moment after her telling Daniel to make a choice, he spoke. She chuckled as he mentioned that these were hard choices, and nodded with understanding as he weighed the options. But, then he chose the latter one and she grinned. "I thought you would," she said. "But I have a way to fix it all," she took a step forward and grabbed the front of his shirt with both hand and pulled him closer to her. "You had a point earlier. You're on my ship. Technically I should be kidnapping you," she reiterated. "So, I was thinking... we could all get what we want. I'll just kidnap you now," she quickly kissed him, roughly, without any warning, "and we can start with the dressing down and then afterward," another kiss, "I'll get dressed up and you can kidnap me. That's fair, right?"

@crimson1

Daniel laughed slightly at Adonia's response. He was pretty sure you couldn't be willing to be a victim of a kidnapping but he wasn't going to bring it up. Why ruin a perfectly good idea with something silly and small like that fact. Something about her voice being low like this he imagined anything she said would sound appealing. "Be careful what you wish for, sometimes they just come true." Daniel finally replied mimicking her low tone after which he wasn't sure if it was because he wanted to or just because she was.

Adonia finally spoke after he gave his answer and felt it was probably obvious what he might have picked but she added to it saying she had a way to fix it all. "I'm all ears," Daniel replied while she proceeded to walk a little closer and put her hands on his shirt and also pulled him closer. Something he didn't bother nor care to resist as he moved closer willingly. With her this close it did take a little more focus to pay attention to what she was saying and not let his mind wonder to other things. Still she had his attention while she explained her plan and again he felt kidnapping wasn't the right word but he would have brought that up even less now than he would have before. Daniel also wasn't prepared for the kiss yet before he could even attempt to return it, it was over and she was talking again. After the kiss Adonia continued about her plan and he had to focus more on her words than the beautiful lips that were so close that the words were coming out of. Another kiss followed just as quick as before as she said he could kidnap her after asking if it sounded fair.

"One question, if I play dumb will you explain it again the same way as last time?" Daniel said with a smirk, still enjoying just how close they were. It was hard to find the urge to just use words when she had already kissed him but he found the will. "Sounds fair to me, that does mean you'll have to let me free in order for me to kidnap you or else this whole plan falls apart." Daniel finally answered her question with a small smirk as he decided to have some fun being this close as well. Kissing her just like she had him real quick before pulling away, "We'll just have to see how that goes."

@adonia

[Deleted]

He said to be careful what she wished for or they might come true and she smirked, "is that a promise?" Of course Adonia was happy to continue this low talking with him, especially since he was doing it back now and sending shivers up her spine. He said that he was all ears, and of course he was. Who wouldn't be? She was Adonia. She was gorgeous, witty and sexy. There really wasn't much she didn't have going for her. Except maybe virtue.

She giggled, "I'll do as much explaining as you want," she promised. He said that she would have to let him free afterward in order for him to do his part of the kidnapping and she pouted, but then was met with a kiss from him now and she smiled again. He said they would just have to see how that goes and she nodded, pressing her nose against his. "I'll need to let you escape so I can get changed into something fancier anyway. But enough talking," she muttered that last part, tilting her head to kiss his lips again.

She tugged on the front of his shirt and began to pull him back toward the stairs, not caring about the other students on the ship. There weren't many, and the majority of them knew not to get in Adonias way... and most of them had been down this same path Daniel was on now, anyway.

He continued to smirk as Adonia replied about getting what she wished for asking if it was promise from him. "It would have to be, there wouldn't be enough ransom money in the world for me to give you back." Continuing the same low tone as before. It wasn't like he had her anyway, Daniel had practically just met this girl a few days ago. Still it was a game of words and actions he enjoyed playing with Adonia and would gladly see just how far all this would go. Still if he had to guess just on how she acted he felt it would go a long way.

Adonia said she would explain as much as Daniel wanted and he laughed slightly for a second before speaking. "I got all the words down but I could use a couple more of those examples. Just to make sure I'm clear on the subject." She pouted for a second after what he said about letting him go but that was soon fixed after they kissed. She explained how she would let him escape only for a moment, still it was an effort to focus on her words with her this close but he managed once more. She kissed him once more and his hands finally found her hips this time to hold Adonia that much closer. Pulling away a little to break off the kiss but still almost noses touching, "I hope that doesn't mean you'll be quiet the whole time. I'd miss that beautiful voice of yours."

As Adonia tugged on his shirt Daniel caught on and followed while she led him toward the stairs of the ship. Still it was surprising no one really noticed him but he wasn't going to bring that up, he didn't need to jinx himself. Daniel also had the idea cross his mind while Adonia pulled him that he didn't even know where he was going on this ship. Sure he had an idea of where this was all going but at the same time he couldn't be sure. Whatever it was he would deal with it if he needed to. For now he was comfortable just following the beautiful woman in front of him who didn't even need to be pulling but he wasn't going to complain about it at all, especially right now.

Daniel said that there wasn't enough ransom money in the world in order for him to give her back and Adonia melted a little at that. How did he get so good with his words? It was almost better than his touch, in some ways. Words were Adonias niche, her home, her weakness more than anything else was. He could probably talk her into absolute pleasure if he wanted to - no touch needed. But alas, the touch did make it a little better. A little.

Daniel said he could use more examples, and Adonia was happy to give them. She nodded, agreeing to those terms. As she told him 'enough talking'. he said he hoped that didn't mean she'd be quiet the whole time. That he'd miss that beautiful voice of hers. If he kept it up with the utterly entrancing words than she wouldn't be able to focus on anything else. As fun as that would be, she was already dying for him. "Oh, don't worry," she encouraged, "I won't be."

Anyone else on that ship was invisible to her now and she led Daniel into her lair. Once they were safely down the stairs, she wasn't as gentle. No one was below deck that she could see, and even if they were she wouldn't have cared. She roughly pressed him up against the wall, kissing him fiercely and quickly before pulling away completely and making a run down the hall of the ship.

He'd have to catch her.

@crimson1

Daniel couldn't help but smirk as she reassured him that she wouldn't be quiet the whole time. It's true he'd miss her voice but right now even that was hard to focus on while this close to her. Daniel wanted to say something after that but couldn't find the words right now and even if he could she was quickly dragging him down the ships stairs. While she didn't seem to care if others saw them he wasn't totally care free. He still wasn't even totally sure if he was allowed on this boat and while that wouldn't have stopped him right now he didn't want to be kicked off. No, he wanted more time with the woman who was attached to his hand pulling him along.

Once below deck there seemed to be less people around, in fact he didn't really notice anyone at all as he looked around. Sure he was more forced on Adonia but he couldn't help but look around just a little as she pulled him. Which is partly why he was so surprised when the force on his arm stopped pulling him and instead Adonia pushed him against the wall. She quickly kissed him and with that level of passion he wanted it to continue more than anything at the moment but she had other plans as she pulled away and started running down the hall. There was a second or two of confusion as Daniel's brain tried to move on from the kiss to how she was now running off down the hall.

A few seconds was all it took for him to understand what she was doing and he began to chase after her. What worry he had about being throw off the ship if caught were a long distant thought as he was just focused on getting closer to Adonia. Still even with the few seconds he stood against the wall in confusion it did give her a good lead. They were a fair way down the hallway when Daniel finally got close enough and was able to grab her hand. Slowing her down and pulling her back it was his turn now as he pushed her back against the nearest wall and kissed her just like she had. Daniel pulled away slightly but still close to her holding the hand he grabbed against the wall to keep her from running again just yet. "For someone who wasn't suppose to let me escape you shouldn't be the one running off." Daniel said with a small smirk still close to her in a low tone, breathing just a little heavier after chasing after her.

@adonia

She could have easily disappeared, of course. She knew this ship much better than he did. But, she didn't ACTUALLY want to lose him. She was a bit out of breath as well when he caught her hand and gasped when it was her turn to be pressed against the wall. She smiled as he held her hand there and spoke about how she shouldn't be running off. "Oh, I was just testing you, my darling," she said sweetly, her free hand finding his waist. Her pointer finger looped through one of his belt loops so she could pull him against her. She kissed him again and then slowly pulled back, biting his lip as she did so until her head was against the wall again. "Second door on the right. You can lead," she encouraged. "That way I can't run again," she smirked. She wasn't planning on running again anyway, but it was good to keep him on his toes. That was a big part of the fun.

@crimson1

Adonia claimed she was only testing him which could have been true, she probably could have hidden behind some door if she really wanted to get away. He might have had the chance to say something about it but instead she pulled him closer and kissed him. Biting Daniel's lower lip as she pulled away. "I'll take that as I passed, for now at least." Daniel commented in a low voice as she then told him which room to go to, telling him to lead so that she couldn't be able to escape again. "I don't know," Daniel replied with a smirk as he leaned in and kissed her once more before pulling away just enough that their lips weren't touching anymore. "I'm starting to like you up against the wall." Still he was just having some fun and while most of his mind was now devoted to thinking of girl next to him, part of Daniel was still a little worried someone might come a long and ruin things. "Yet, how can I turn down an invitation to your room?" Daniel added with a smirk as he led the way toward the door she spoke off.

@adonia

[Deleted]

He did pass, for now, and she had no doubt that he would continue passing. If his ability as a physical lover was anything like his ability with words then he was already way ahead of the curb. He kissed her, his lips hovering over hers as he said he was starting to like her up against the wall. She caught her breath and chuckled a little, and then he added that he couldn't turn down an invitation to her room. He started to lead and she chuckled, a little breathless. "There are walls in there too," she promised.

She let him open the door before taking charge again, slipping inside and shutting the door behind her. The girls all shared a room on the ship, but Adonia locked the door. Most of them knew what that meant. Or at least, they knew it meant someone wanted privacy. Maria may just walk in anyway, but eh, that didn't matter. Her own bed had a curtain she could draw around it anyway. She leaned against the door, her expression one of faux innocence. "Know what you're doing from now on, Danny boy? Or do I need to teach you?"

Daniel smirked a little as Adonia made the comment of how her room had walls as well as he lead her in the direction she told him. In any normal situation the part of him that urged to make some sarcastic remark would have won and he would have said something. "Well lets not leave those walls waiting." Daniel got out as they reached the door, a little surprised how many other sarcastic comments he had thought up in such a short time even in this moment with this beautiful woman around. It probably said something about who he was but right now wasn't the time for self analysis, no not when there was someone far better to focus on.

Daniel opened the door and walked in while Adonia slipped in behind him. As he looked around he was surprised that the room was shared with others. He didn't know why he expected separated rooms. No it was more like the dorm rooms of Hogwarts. It didn't change much but did give him the slightest of awkward feels as he wondered if someone could just walk in. Still another thought that dissolved as he looked toward Adonia as she spoke. An interesting question to say the least as he smirked slightly with a quiet laugh behind that. Daniel knew he wasn't inexperienced in what she was implying just not the most experienced, present company included he could only imagine. Still there was nothing to lose by not giving it his all and going from there. Daniel got closer to Adonia once more as she was against the door.

"I'd like to think so but I'll never say no to a little extra reviewing of the subject. Especially if the tutor is as gorgeous as you." Daniel explained as he was now close enough he leaned in and kissed her once more, his hands finding her waist pulling her closer. The kissing continued getting more passionate as it did, his hands finding their way under his shirt to the bare skin underneath. As they kissed, his tongue found hers slowly he got brave enough with his hands to start moving and exploring her body. Enjoying the feeling of the warmth from her smooth skin soft skin. Pulling away slowly he returned the biting from before by biting her bottom lip lightly as he pulled away. "What do you say we find which bed is yours." Daniel said willing to let her lead once more, or just pick a random bed at this point his mind wasn't too worried about those little facts right now.

@adonia

(That can be the fade to black if you like or feel free to add to it. I certainly won't stop you either way.)
