"It's in my nature to flirt, yes and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the spoils of such actions. I feel as though if there is one level we connect on it is to do with the pleasures a good bedroom partner can bring. I'm young and the world has a lot to offer me, I think it's my duty to make the most of those opportunities when they present themselves. Besides, you know what they say about practice..." He murmured, giving her lips a heated look.

Eva grinned at the reward of laughter coming from Roman at her words. It always felt like an accomplishment when she could spark a reaction out of him. "Up to me to find out, hmm? Sounds like you've got plans already sorted for the two of us," she considered with a little smirk of her own. The hairs on her neck stood up after being exposed when Roman brushed her hair out of the way. "No you know what, I can admit you've probably gotten up to more. But that's because you just can't seem to help yourself, can you?"

[romcnrodriguez]

"Sounds like a loss on their part then." Because clearly no one had been able to see this side of her if they did not feel similarly. When Jack grasped at his hand, he nodded his head, the smirk returning in full force. "Whatever you say, boss."

Jack shrugged, "Nobody's ever described it as music to their ears. They've said good idea or that's smart but maybe I've never been in a position where someone felt they needed to use that expression," she paused, "It's not something to get worked up about, I just don't hang out with a lot of people who talk like that," she reached for his hand, slipping her own into it, "Don't worry about it. Come on."

[romcnrodriguez]

Roman's eyes narrowed slightly at that confession, clearly he was trying to understand her statement. "I'm not sure how that could possibly be the first time." Yes, he knew that she had a talent for keeping people at arms length but still, it seemed so unlikely.

"It's certainly don't mind it. It's the first time anyone has said anything like that about me," Jack admitted with a laugh, savoring in the kiss for several moments longer before relenting to pulling away, "Yes, let's," she agreed, smirking right back.

[romcnrodriguez]

"I'm fairly certain we were both talking about the same type from the beginning. If we weren't then I'm going to be very disappointed." Though Roman didn't sound as if he doubted himself at all. "Well, for some reason that doesn't surprise me. But a brats fine. Seems to me that they just need someone with a strong hand to manage them." Roman playfully smiled at the man.

James let out a hum, narrowing his eyes at the other slightly, "Your swordsmanship leaves people breathless, hm? Is that because you've sliced their throat? Stabbed them in the gut?" He asked, a smirk on his face. "Or are we talking about two different types of sword play right now?" He couldn't help but tease. "And I don't lose. Ever. Because even when I do, I don't admit that's what's happened. I can be a bit stubborn when I want to be, the word brat get's thrown around a lot in connection with me in fact."

[romcnrodriguez]

A little laugh left Roman and he leaned in a little. Pretty sure I could change that point of view given a few minutes." He couldn't resist murmuring in a hushed tone to the man, even if he had no intention of doing such things. He still had confidence enough in himself to know he could make it work. "Well.... lets just say that you wouldn't be the only one sparkling by the time I was done with you. Though maybe I'd do entirely too good of a job at cleaning it off you." He added a moment later, his smirk wide. "It's a choice you made, that's for certain." Roman agreed when Finn explained how he'd been sparkling forever after this.

"Concerned." Finn stated, his eyes a little wide as the other asked if he was turned on at the prospect of knives in the bedroom, "If anyone brought a knife into bed with me I would full on believe that they were actually a serial killer and I would either become their next victim or would have to turn into a Final Girl. I also know which one is most likely to end up happening too because I know I've not got what it takes to be a Final Girl." Finn explained to the other, maybe taking this a little too seriously. "I do value my privacy up to a point, yeah. But I have to ask, even though I might regret it like five seconds later, but what do you want to do to me that would make our entanglement entirely too obvious?" He found himself asking, his curiosity getting the better of him. "I think I can't answer the tabloids question until I know that one." Finn smiled and bowed his head a little in mock of a full bow. "Thank you, I can be pretty dedicated to something once my mind is set on it. And apparently this week it was ensuring that I am going to have some sort of glittery sparkle to my skin for the rest of my goddamn life."

Roman gave a playful wolf whistle as Willow found her way to him, his arm immediately scooping her in close. "You're one to talk Wills. Look at you being a bombshell in your outfit. Though I am still as salty as ever that you continuously choose to match with your siblings over me. We'd make such a power couple in the competition." He grinned, returning the peck to the cheek with one to her forehead. "But I've had the best night so far. Really goes to solidify that I make one sexy ass pirate."

"Look at you," Willow walked up to her friend, giving him a kiss on the cheek as she caught up with him. "I didn't think I'd be able to squeeze past all the doting fans you've collected tonight," she teased before handing him a drink. "Safe to assume you're having a good night?"

"That terminology please you did it?" Roman chuckled as he let the woman do as she wished with him. So far he'd always found that letting Jack have her way had worked in his favour. It didn't escape his notice the way they were now out of line of sight of people and he let his hands rest on the wall on either side of her head, kissing her back when she initiated it. When their mouths parted once more he smirked. "Want to take this somewhere more private?"

"Music? High praise indeed," Jack replied, pulling on his shirt slightly and walking back until her back hit the wall. It brought them behind a pillar and out of sight of anyone walking down the hall, at least to start with. She deepened the kiss, keeping any eagerness out of her actions but letting him know further that she definitely wanted this and she wasn't going to push him away this time.

[romcnrodriguez]

"Touché." Roman responded with a little chuckle at the thought. If anything was going to offend her, he wouldn't have been surprised if that did it but she seemed to take it exceptionally well. He supposed that was due to the fact it wasn't an unreasonable expectation to want consent first before continuing on with things, especially given how their last attempt had panned out. "Now that's music to my ears, Darling." He managed to murmured out before her lips were on his.

Somehow Jack knew that Roman would never push her too far. He hadn't at any moment so far. Still, she would tease about it regardless. He seemed to have a surprisingly good read on her despite her being fairly shut off from others.

"Do I seem like someone who would offer sex just because I owe you one?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow. She did know he would wait for her to say the latter though and to that thought, she rolled her eyes and smiled, "I want this," she whispered to him, leaning in to press her lips against his.

"I've never disappointed yet in the size department, though I'm not going to stop you from proving a point if you want to try and impress me. Though I've always believed that it's not what you have but what you do with it that counts and that's an area I have yet to lose in. My experience is both extensive and impressive to the point it usually leaves people breathless." Roman countered smoothly, letting his eyes trail down to the others pants, conveying his interest clearly if his words had by some surprise not managed to do so. "Is this a fight you want to chance losing?"

"Are we about to get into a my sword is bigger than your sword argument, because I have to warn you now, I will be the one coming out as the winner in that." James couldn't help but smirk upon seeing the others outfit, "And of course if you don't believe me, I'm more then happy to show you it, just to prove my point of course." He continued, knowing that if he continued on with lines like this throughout the night there would be a high possibility that he'd get slapped across the face.

"Concerned or turned on at the prospect?" Roman posed to Finn, a lascivious grin playing over his features as he gave the man the once over with his eyes again. "But that's a real shame because I know how you value your privacy and there's no way for me to do what I would like to do to you without our entanglement being entirely too obvious. And you wouldn't want that to get in the tabloids now would you?" Roman was definitely playing with the man because he knew the type of impact he had on Finn, but that didn't make his words any less true at the same time. "Well, bravo on the effort. You definitely went the extra mile. I can't say I'd be as dedicated."

Against all his better judgement Finn couldn't help but feel a shiver run through his body as the other dragged the sword across his collarbones, because of course it would belong to Roman and of course the other would still have this kind of effect on him. "I think I'm more concerned about the idea of you actually bringing swords or knives into the bedroom." Finn teased, still feeling the way in which the other was dragging the prop across his body. "You're right, you'd be caught straight away due to the fact that this shit sticks with you. I'm going to be finding glitter in places I don't want glitter for years to come." Because what seemed like a great idea at first, well, maybe not so great of an idea now. "But hey, none of this sparklepants shit, this is the skin of a killer don't you know." He smirked. "But I really wanted to get this part of the costume across, so had to go a little bit overboard with the body glitter. I guess no one is safe from me tonight if they end up getting a little too close."

[romcnrodriguez]

It was a steady hand that held the sword in place, not wavering in the least except to allow it to travel across the mans collarbone and along the buttons of his shirt, head tilting slightly to one side. "Don't worry, I'm surprisingly adept at only slicing what I want to. It's not your skin you need to be concerned with right now." He teased, letting the sword trail lower, teasing down his body. "Though if I did manage to murder you, there would be very little chance of me getting away with it. Did someone dump you in a vat of glitter, sparklepants? Pretty sure I can't get near you without ending up looking like I've rubbed myself all up over you."

Finn loved Halloween, he loved the spooky decorations and theming of the food, he loved the horror of it all whether it be through movies or ghost stories and he truly loved getting dressed up and seeing other people's creative costumes. One thing he didn't love about the holiday though when at a party was the props. The amount of times in which he had nearly been taken out by a set of wings, or some sort of fake weaponry, well he wouldn't be able to count them on one hand. Which is why he felt himself calling out when a sword got a little too close to his throat from where he was sat down. "Hey! Watch where you're swinging that thing, I know it's not real but still don't feel like experiencing what it'd be like to get my throat slit."

"I suppose when you put it like that..." Roman was grinning though. He was definitely the type to push it but he seemed to be smart enough not to go too far with Jack. Even if she hadn't talked to him about the type of woman she was, he could read the warning signs from a mile off and he favoured being alive over making a smart ass comment.

"Now that isn't something that surprises me." Though Roman also didn't appear to be judging her in a negative manner for it. "I don't want you to do this because you feel like you owe me." He stated in a hushed tone. "I'd much rather you admit you want this." Because otherwise it wasn't nearly as enjoyable for him.

"So what you're saying is, you do have an ulterior motive and it's to wind me up? Here I thought you were smart," Jack teased. In truth, she didn't mind it as much. Roman had managed to find himself on her good side so she reacted a lot better to it all than she would have if it were someone else. After everything, it would take a bit to get on her bad side for him now. A rare thing.

Jack grinned and nodded, "It is my favourite feeling," she admitted shamelessly. She shrugged, "I was only thinking that I probably owe you for all but shoving you out of the house. I guarantee that won't happen again, not without good cause anyway" she explained with a nonchalant shrug, "We should probably find somewhere a little bit more private though," she said, glancing down the corridor where the sound of people chattering could be heard.

[romcnrodriguez]

"With calling you pretty? No." He answered with a laugh. "Besides, it's not like I've needed to do that to get-- or rather, almost get into your pants before. As it happens, I'm saying this just because I can and if there is an ulterior motive, it's that it makes you puff up almost like it's an insult." Roman chuckled, though thankfully she didn't seem to take it too badly coming from him. It was more proof that somehow he'd managed to wriggle himself into her good books.

"Ah I can't blame you on that. There's always something pretty satisfying about the look someone gets when they don't expect you to be able to do something." He'd experienced it himself but in different ways to her, he was sure. "Now who is the one who only has sex on their mind?" Roman couldn't resist before nodding. "I'm fairly certain there is enough going on here that one pirate won't be missed."

"Are you saying you don't have ulterior motives?" Jack teased, shaking her head, "I'm completely aware of my own looks, I just think there's more worth complimenting," she replied, trying to ignore the shiver that went down her spine as he whispered the words against her ear. Maybe being called pretty wasn't so bad...

Jack sighed, "Certain people have underestimated me. I took great pleasure in proving them wrong," she admitted with a sly smile. She enjoyed that feeling greatly and maybe that made her petty but she didn't care. She hadn't scared him off yet but he hadn't questioned her abilities, "Maybe I won't hide it. That's a consideration for another day," she paused, "But about that sequel you mentioned... will you be missed if we snuck off for a little while?" she asked.

[romcnrodriguez]

"Who says I was doing it to get anywhere?" Roman answered with a little smile playing across his lips. "Though now I might keep going to see how long it takes until that changes." He added, almost whispering the words in Jack's ear.

At the gratitude, Roman nodded his head. "It seems to me as though some have given you a reason to think otherwise. I understand that." And when she explained about being underestimated in the past, it was something that made a great deal of sense for Jack. She was tough, a force to be reckoned with and that was how she wanted to be perceived. Yes, sometimes that could make her unnecessarily harsh but again, it was what the world had apparently taught her she needed to be in order to survive. "I don't think you should have to hide it because if they do underestimate you because of it, that will be their undoing, not yours. It is, of course, your decision to make however."

"I hope you're aware that complimenting my appearance doesn't get you anywhere," Jack replied teasingly. He hadn't been complimenting her appearance when they'd ended up in that situation in the first place and that's the way she liked it. Though she had to admit, she didn't mind hearing it but she much preferred being complimented on her brain and her talents.

"Thank you for making it easy. I didn't think it would be," she admitted, letting her hands rest on his chest. Jack shrugged, "I'm not sure it was anyone doing anything, I just don't like being underestimated and people do it so easily anyway, I didn't want to give them more fuel," she explained, being more honest than she ever had before. She hummed, leaning up a little so her lips were an inch from his and smirking, "Well you certainly aren't boring, that's for sure."

[romcnrodriguez]

"Pretty much, yeah." Roman admitted with a grin in her direction. "But with someone so pretty in front of me, can you blame me." He knew her response the first time he'd said that but it didn't stop Roman from emphasising it. He wasn't the type to shy away from the truth, no matter the response it would get.

When Jack explained he was the first person she'd told outside of the people closest to her, Roman's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline. "Well, that's a compliment. Thank you for being open with me about it." It took some courage to admit something that she was clearly so self-conscious about. "Though I am sorry if you've ever been made to feel like you can't share that with people. The world is full of idiots." It was good to know that his little joke had drawn a laugh from her however and he smiled in return. "I'm a pirate. They're pretty good on water so I think I'll be good either way. Besides, you like that about me. It's far more fun than if I were boring."

Jack laughed, trying and failing to make it sound like another scoff, "Do you just have sex on the brain constantly?" she asked in a teasing manner. It wasn't as if she wasn't thinking about it herself. However, it hadn't been at the forefront of her mind initially. Was this what it would be like? When she told people, they just would say okay and move on? Surely not with everybody, right?

"I haven't told anyone," Jack admitted, "Aside from my family and my roommate who is also my best friend. No one else knows so..." she shrugged. She wasn't used to intimate moments like this but she did not protest at being pulled into his arms. Though they had only just met, Roman now knew the most intimate and vulnerable thing about her and his response had made her trust him in a strange away. Another unfamiliar feeling. She did not scoff but it did quickly transform into a chuckle as she hit his chest gently and playfully, "For someone who keeps suggesting a take two, you're treading on thin ice," she teased back, leaving out the part where she had been Jack Sparrow for Halloween the previous year. He didn't need to know that.

[romcnrodriguez]

"Pretty sure I've been there and done that already and I'm not eager for a repeat. I'd give it a zero percent on rotten tomatoes." Roman joked lightly. "How about we go for the sequel 'Fuck you'. I'd happily give that one a try." He added, noting the way she still seemed a little self conscious over everything. Whilst it might not have been his problem, Roman wasn't the type of person to let anothers insecurities be ignored. If there was anything he felt he had the ability to do, it was to make someone feel good, be that with sex or just his words.

When she asked for confirmation, he gave a genuine smile, slipping his arms around the woman's waist. "I really don't care." He repeated honestly. "The only reason I would have cared about that was because it is clearly something that bothers you a little so I'd have been more mindful of it with regards to that." Roman explained. "But otherwise it really doesn't have much impact on anything." There was a slight pause as he glanced the woman over again. "Though I am beginning to think we ought to swap costumes. Seems you're better equipped than me to pull off a pirate now." He teased Jack playfully.

Jack didn't protest his initial disagreement and she was sure he could hear her eyes roll at his comment about blue balls. That had obviously not been her intention during their last interaction and it was not her intention now but she was not surprised he said it. She was just glad he agreed to come with her. She had no idea what to expect from this conversation or how he would react. Jack had never told anyone about this so she had no idea how anyone would react.

What Jack got from Roman more than surprised her. She just stared at him, blinking in shock. He didn't even seem surprised or shocked or even remotely startled by it. It was she who was stunned into silence. She did open her mouth to respond to his question about being shallow but she closed it and the hint of a smile ghosted across her face as she answered for him. She scoffed when he complimented her face but didn't move from his touch, "Fuck off," she muttered to brush it off and looked down at the floor for a moment, alarmingly aware of the prosthetic leg underneath her trousers as she wondered how many opportunities she'd missed out on thinking she would never get a reaction like this. She looked up, "You really don't care?" she asked, her fiery self hidden as a slightly more vulnerable side of her came to the surface.
