**I had to post again, just found this too amusing**
Vince had immediately perked up at the deluxe features and had signed the contract. Carbine was surprised when he’d handed over the details of the Imperial’s standard account. She’d merely shrugged as he transferred the credits.
Carbine was almost positive that she had seen steam venting from the other troopers helmet. Obviously Vince was a little unconventional. She wondered how long he’d last in his chosen career. The Empire didn’t tend to like individualism. But it was not her place to pry.
She took the contract from Vince and placed it in her vest pocket. “Now then Vince, I don’t believe I’ve introduced myself. My name is Carbine Lennox, and I do believe I owe you a drink.â€Â
Vince nodded eagerly, “Yeah how about we go to the Flamingo Bar over on Western Street?â€Â
Carbine smiled, “Anywhere you like. I’ll just need a ride home afterward.â€Â
“I could ride you… I mean I could give you a ride home anytime you like.†Vince said as he flipped open his helmet.
Carbine was pleasantly surprised, he wasn’t butt ugly as she suspected. He was certainly nothing special but there was an element of attractiveness around his eyes. Although she planned on a couple of drinks and exiting pretty quickly as there were more credits to be made and time was money.
It seemed that Vince wasn’t as dumb as he seemed, Carbine noted as she realised that the Flamingo Bar was actually a Falleen run bar. The pheromones were certainly thick in the air as Carbine suddenly felt turned on. She smiled at Vince who rapidly seemed a lot more attractive. “Come here often?†she asked.
Vince shook his head, “Only when I meet a really hot chick… ah I mean a beautiful lady.â€Â
The other trooper grabbed Vince by the shoulder. “I’m going back on duty. You better not be long.â€Â
Vince smiled, “Don’t worry I’ve got your back… well I will when I come back.â€Â
The other trooper shook his head and walked out the door. Carbine led Vince to a table for two. “So what will you have?†she said breathlessly.
Vince stared at her for a moment then grabbed the cocktail menu, “How about a Passionate Kiss?â€Â
Carbine blinked and felt overwhelmed by the pheromones, she grabbed Vince by the top of his chest-plates and pulled him towards her so his face was close to hers. “Sure why not?†she said as she lunged forward to kiss him.
Vince was stiff for a moment before he started to kiss her back. Carbine grinned and then wondered what she was doing. She took a deep breath and was suddenly mad with passion. She pulled Vince closer only to knock the table over. She pulled back and shook her head. She’d brought him here for a drink… only a drink.
Vince’s hand moved to cup the nape of her neck, “Don’t worry about the table, I’m told that happens all the time.†He moved forward to kiss her again.
“Wait, we’re here for a drink right?†Carbine said as she took another deep breath in attempt to gain composure, instead it sent a fresh wave of pheromones into her system. She jumped on Vince’s lap as she kissed him. For some reason she wanted to get as close to him as possible.
Vince pinned her against the back of the booth as he deepened the kiss. “Do you want to get a room?†he asked between kisses.
That brought Carbine back to the real world, “Ah no… I better go.†She said as she straightened her jacket and then realised she was still sitting on his lap.
Vince’s hands were on her waist and his thumbs were brushing against her hipbones enticingly. “You haven’t bought me a drink yet.â€Â
Carbine raised her hand to wave over a waitress, “Can I get two glasses of red wine?â€Â
“Certainly,†the waitress said as she went to get their order.
“We better fix the table,†Carbine suggested but she had a feeling that Vince had her right where he wanted her.
