Thornton & Coombs Dinner Party (Closed)

[jamesthorn]

The table is set with the family's finest china. The candles lit, and doors are open at Thornton Estate this evening. While the estate has seen countless elegant affairs throughout its long history, there's never been one quite like this one. Tonight, the Coombs are coming for dinner as William Thornton's personally invited guests. Despite the recipe for drama, there's still a dinner to be thrown and William has spared no expense for his son's newest girlfriend, Amelie. Fine wine, gourmet breads and cheeses, fruits, and appetizers are laid out in gorgeous displays by the caterer. To be certain that no nosy members of the press learn of tonight's momentary truce, the invitations were hand delivered and the family's private staff are serving.

Promptly, at eight o'clock dinner will be served, but in the meantime, there's plenty of time for mingling...and drama.

OOC: I've always used this particular property for Thornton Estate even though I believe it's more traditionally furnished than the one pictured. However, if you want an idea of the layout, there are plenty of photos and even a movie on the link above, lmao.

William is played by Pierce Brosnan. Obviously he's American in the game. If you wanna talk to William one on one, Rachel and I both have control of that old fart.

It's so easy to sink into their kiss, maybe easier than he's actually expecting either from being out of practice or just the fact that he hasn't entered into this with much expectation. But it is easy when Davin kisses him back, humming gently against his lips, gripping his fingers against James' suit jacket, and it's nice and warm and makes his pulse speed up.

As Davin presses closer to him, James does the same, clutching his hands around his face, letting one hand slide further, brushing his fingers through his hair. For a few minutes, he can forget everything else. His brother and Amelie. His father. The Coombs. This dumb dinner party. For now, all that matters is kissing Davin.

Until he must pulls away to catch a breath. His lips are still warm as he opens his eyes again. "I definitely think you were the right choice," he says in a softer voice.

James' fingers card through his hair and Davin makes another soft noise, letting his hand slide up under James' perfectly tailored suit jacket. It's embarrassing, but his eyes stay shut for a few seconds when James pulls away, and he's blushing a little when they finally flutter open.

"I'm glad ya think so," Davin says in a slow, rough voice, licking his lips and pulling back just enough to rest his hands on James' hips. "Can we just stay out here all night?"

"I promise my father would come find us," James assures him, watching Davin's mouth as he licks his lips, and he can't help but lean forward and kiss him again on the mouth, letting his lips linger for a few more sweet moments. Once he leans away, he offers Davin another smile.

"But this house is pretty big, it might take him awhile."

[davin]

"Plenty o' places t'hide, huh?" He links his hands behind James' neck and tugs him in for another kiss, grinning against his mouth and then pulling back to look into his eyes. "There better be more kissin' after this dinner, detective. Lots o' kissin'."

James meets his eyes with a matching grin, feeling the warmth of Davin's fingers against his skin. It's difficult to pull away completely because he would love nothing more than to stay here, kissing Davin. "I promise there will be," he says, leaning in for another slow kiss until he must pull away completely.

He takes Davin's hands from around his neck and tugs him towards the door. "Or this dinner may kill me. Hard to say," he jokes.
