(( a Halloween thread ))
It was Halloween. The traditional annual "Take your girlfriend's soul and use it as you like" day. Gambit had missed the previous one, since, even though he had been dating someone, they hadn't been close enough for the ritual to become possible, but now it was perfect. Shade had already practically given her heart to him, the rest was just technicalities.
He took her down to the lower level of the Hellfire Club, the place he knew so well but had been keeping secret from everybody. Shade was promised an exciting and sensual experience, which was blatant truth.

Shade had no idea what he was up to. Following Gambit through the club and downstairs, she was once more surprised that the Hellfire was larger than she had thought it was. He had hinted at some lower levels before, but he had never taken her to see them which was just one reason why her curiosity had kicked in immidiately when he had suggested going there - whatever for.
Looking around when they walked, taking in the surrounding that did not fit the rest of the Hellfire at all, she finally tossed Gambit a glance. "So what are we gonna do down here?" she asked, a mix of curiosity and amusement in her voice.

"We gonna have fun," Gambit responded. That, of course, was true mostly for him, but it didn't mean she couldn't enjoy the very beginning. He got a lighter out of his pocket and lit a torch on the wall, took it off and walked around the large room, lighting every next torch on its walls with the first one.
Once used by the Inner Circle of the Hellfire Club, the room still retained its partly intimidating, partly alluring, seductive atmosphere. It was tiled but had a carpet in the middle that surrounded a large stage-like structure that could be used as that, or as a large bed if there were cushions, or even as a table. A centerpiece for whatever entertainment the members of the Inner Circle could have in mind at any given moment. Its shape could be modified, and Gambit planned to use that later. For now, he simply walked around the room with the torch, finishing with the lighting.

Shade followed him with her gaze, her eyes trying to take in the vastness of the room as Gambit walked and its dark corners slowly flickered into a dim twilight, caused by the light of torches. She had never been to a place like this; it seemed to breathe its own eery and slightly creepy atmosphere, but she felt no fear. Whyever should she? "Oh, I hope so." she gave back, her eyes darting back to him after most of the room had been halfway explored.

Gambit grinned back at her. As far as he could judge, she trusted him and was rather amused, as was to be expected. So much the better.
He lowered the bags he had with him onto the floor, opened one of them and got several scented sticks and many candles. The candles he handed to Shade. "Place 'em wherever ya like," he said, sticking the lighter into the pocket of her jeans for her to use. Taking the scented sticks, he walked towards the wall, lighting them in the fire of a nearby torch and placing them wherever he could. The candles were just candles; they would add to the cozy and sensual atmosphere of the hidden room, get Shade all relaxed - but the sticks were a different matter. Tante Mattie had given them to him once, for the exact same purpose of making somebody relaxed, subdued, lulled into complete lack of willpower. There was no antidote, and he would get under their effect all the same, but he was stronger than Shade and had a significant amount of time to complete his plan before the sticks would get him down to his knees.

Shade took the candles from him and did what she said, placing them around the room in a way she liked and which would best illuminate it. They were many candles but the room was rather large which left a lot of twilight. She used the torches to light them, then turned to look at him. What Gambit was doing did not make much sense to her but he might just be up to some sort of game, so she would simply see where things led to. He was busy about some sticks, she had seen the like before but never owned any herself. "Now I´m curious." she said, smirking slightly.

"Are ya, now?" Gambit grinned, then walked over to her, wrapping one of his arms around her waist and pulling her into a kiss.

Shade responded to the kiss, still smirking. The thought that this was a rather strange place came to her mind, but her curiosity blended that out. She would see where Gambit wanted to take this, there was no reason not to.

Gambit turned with his back towards the platform and sat down onto its edge, pulling Shade onto his lap as he continued the kiss, deepening it. Whatever she was, wouldn't matter in a few minutes, and he wanted to get a few more nice moments out of being with her. He didn't know if she would be conscious enough at the last moments to realize what was about to happen - what he had done to her - so that change would be interesting to witness.

Shade followed his hint, leaning against him. She used her hands to frame Gamit´s face and opened her mouth slightly to sneak out her tongue. Part of her senses were still not completely devoted to kissing him, picking up on the unknown environment curiously. It wasn´t to warm down here, she noticed.

Gambit unbuttoned her shirt slowly, keeping her mostly distracted with his kiss. The scent of the drug from the sticks would soon reach her and affect her, but there was still time. And then he needed that music thing and the ritual clothes he had prepared for her.

Shade noticed that something changed about the room, realising only a moment later that it was the scented sticks starting to fill the room with their scent. She tried to sort in the smell, but couldn´t. It was something completely unfamiliar, she could not even tell whether she liked that smell or not.
Leaning into his touch, she let her tongue run along the roof of Gambit´s mouth, the questio of why he had taken her down here still in her mind. Again she did it away with an inward shrug. It was nothing surprising that Gambit got a kick from making out at different, partly unusual places.

Her shirt went off; it wasn't too warm here, but soon the torches and the effect of what he was about to do with her would get her very heated. Gambit stroked her tongue with his, trying to curb his impatience, and his hand made its way to between her legs, caressing confidently.

Shade let out a low moan into the kiss. He was rushing, it was more than obvious and that bewildered her slightly since the door was closed behind them and he had taken some time to create a cozy atmopshere. It didn´t make much sense but she didn´t mind either, since his excitement had already started to be mirrored by her own. Still, she might ask him later.

Moving his kiss to her neck, Gambit found he was actually enjoying all this - maybe even too much to let her go that easily, to discard her for a ritual. But it had to be done. The power he would receive nullified all his need for love and relationship. He would get over it with time; the advantages were significantly larger than the mere occurence of losing the one he had gotten so close with. Besides, love and closeness were prerequisites for the ritual. Two hearts beating in unison was the only way to establish the necessary connection.
