Black of my Heart (Open) - Darius and Crew

He held out a hand for Savannah.

"Come here, Savannah."

she went to him, and took his hand.

He drew Savannah into his lap, nuzzling close to her.

"We're getting close," he said to both women.

She smiled happily to see Savannah and Darius close again.

She nuzzled him back, with a deep breath at his neck, and glance at Elizabeth.

She noticed the glance, but didn't move.

Smiling, he nuzzled against Savannah for a moment.

"My girls."

Savannah nuzzled him back, starting to relax just a little bit more in his arms, and a soft purr.

He petted Savannah, a hand stroking her hair.

"I think I'm going to like this town."

She smiled and leaned forward to nuzzle lightly into Savannah's hand. Much like a kitten.

Savannah gently petted Elizabeth's head as Darius did the same to her.

He smiled at them both.

"Now, my lovely ladies. What should we do to celebrate?"

Her eyes closed as she was pet.

"May I ask what we celebrate?"

He smiled.

"Plans taking shape, coming together. The world bowing to me once again."

She giggled happily.

"Savannah chooses."

"No really it should be up to you both, it seems to be that you both have reasons to celebrate." with a respectful nod to him.

His brows rose.

"And you do not?"

"I don't want to fight, but I don't feel like I helped you at all." with a frown and a her eyes held a slight hint of hurt. "But I know Elizabeth has been instrumental to helping you complete your plan." with a smile at Elizabeth.

His brows rose.

"What makes you think you haven't helped?"

"I just feel that way, but the business is still up and running - doing well so I guess I did my part?" with a half smile and tilt of her head at him.

He nod.

"Very good. I'd say you have helped greatly."

"Do you wish to cook for us? I know you like to cook, I'm not a fan of champagne but if that is what you were thinking?" looking at Darius waiting for his instructions, she'd accepted the fact she was now not anything really than his lap dog to be thankful for the scraps he was willing to give.

She looked to Elizabeth with a smile to see if she had anything to add or what she wanted for she was his.

He laughed.

"I believe that Elizabeth said that you choose how we celebrate. What is it that your heart truly desires, Savannah?"

She thought on it, looking at the two of them, "Something fun, so why don't I go shop and we eat in?" that use to be fun and she looked at them both to see "Or I could make reservations and we could all dress up? What do you think?"

She looked up and took Savannah's hand.

"What do you want?"
