This story is set a year after the last one.

Chapter 1

"Mickey how on earth did you miss that shot?" Elaina roared with laughter. Mick shot her a sulky, disgruntled look causing her to laugh harder.

Mick slunk over the Beth and propped himself up beside her still making a face. Beth rolled her eyes. It was easy to tell Mick and Elaina were siblings; forever teasing and ribbing at each other. With no signs of stopping soon.

Which means Josef and i are probably going to be stuck with them like that for a long time Beth thought fondly.

Elaina walked over to Beth and handed her the pool cue "here Beth you can be on my team. I doubt you want to be on Mick's after that shot".

***

Josef was in his office getting more impatient and frustrated on the phone by the minute. He was trying to close a deal in England but had been having no end of trouble and no end of conferences calls.

More bad news came down the line. "This is unacceptable" he snapped "i was assured this would be done today. You have until twilight tomorrow to get it fixed, and then I'll start collecting heads".

Slamming down the phone Josef loosened his tie and reclaimed the glass of blood from where he had left it on the desk. He hurried down to the other room where he knew his friends were waiting. They had been supposed to be enjoying a night off together...starting 45 minutes ago. He had unfortunately been rather delayed due to the call.

On entering the room he found Elaina and Beth discussing which ball would be best to pocket next and Mick drinking from a glass, seated at the bar.

Joining Mick on the chairs he whispered "sorry I'm late"

"You haven't missed much" Mick whispered, gesturing to the women "it's worse than when they debate shoes"

Josef smirked. Elaina threw them a look to let them know she had heard but didn't miss a beat in her conversation with Beth.

Eventually, the girls decided on a shot and Beth took it, pocketing it easily. The game continued back and forth for some time but in the end the girls were victorious.

"Woo!" said Beth "that means we get to choose the movie!"

Josef groaned "you let them play for that Mick? And lost?"

As a second debate ensued between the women as to what movie to watch, Josef's phone beeped again and he sighed. Mick noticed his friend's unease and asked "still having trouble in London?"

Josef nodded. "Since the vamp that used to help me out had to relocate, it's been nothing but trouble. I'm starting to think I'd need to make a visit there myself."

"Why don't you?" asked Mick.

"it's a lot of hassle" sighed Josef "on top of the business I'd be expected to meet with the British elders...and I'd probably have to stop in on Germany too so-"

"Before you'd know what, it'd be a month trip for one little business deal" Mick finished.

"Exactly, it's not good for an elder to be away from his city so long" Josef explained.

Mick snorted "the city would be fine. Elaina is a great guardian. Even Bella took a month off for the first time ever since she became head cleaner since we have had Elaina here. The only way you'd need to hurry back is if Elaina was gone too"

Inspiration dawned on Mick "why not take Elaina? Then you can say you need to close the deal as soon as possible because you need to get back...it'd probably limit your expected attendances in England and you could skip Germany on that note"

"Maybe" Josef agreed "but what would Elaina do while i was in meetings...unless..."

Josef looked up at the women locked in debate "Beth, if Elaina and i went to England for a while, no more than a week, would you and Mick like to come?"

Beth's mouth opened and closed excitedly and her eyes sparkled. "Of course!" she gushed "it'd be amazing!"

"Josef" Elaina interjected "we can't both disappear from the city!"

"For a week" Josef looked at her with raised eye brows " i think we can"

"And Elaina" Beth encouraged "London fashion week is on next week. I think it's an important learning experience for your new fashion career".

Elaina had taken up a course in fashion design since moving to LA. She had recently graduated and was now designing her first collection. It was a good cover for why she had moved to LA and for her guardian work.

Elaina smiled "i suppose fashion week may give me some ideas..."

Beth nodded vigorously "and we can go see musicals on the west end! It'll be so much fun!"

Mick was about to protest that he had not agreed to the trip but seeing the light and excitement in Beth's eyes, he felt the wind come out of his sails and he was defeated.

***

The next morning, Beth was in her apartment packing a mixture of casual and dressy clothes. She was looking forward to seeing England and spending some time with Mick.

She was just finished when she heard a knock on the door. Opening it she saw Mick, dressed in jeans and a shirt a bag slung over her shoulder. "Ready to head?" he asked. Beth smiled and they headed out.

***

Elaina stared at the clothes on the bed. She was unsure of how many dresses to bring. She would need some for fashion week and she knew as Josef's partner and a guardian, she would most likely end up having to attend several formal functions. Josef was a well respected elder all over the world and even within the space of a week; she knew others would be keen for them to make appearances.

Her shower stopped and she heard Josef getting out and padding into the room. She felt his fingers trace her hair and his lips grace her neck.

"Josef, I'm trying to concentrate" she said, the effect of her words eliminated by the contented sighs that began to escape her lips.

"You could just go as you are" he murmured, referring to the chocolate silk robe she wore "it'd make me very happy and I'm sure everyone else would appreciate it too".

She laughed, turning to face him "I'd say that would go down well! can you imagine?"

His arms tightened around her drawing her nearer to him. Reaching down he kissed her slowly and languidly, pulling on the tie of her robe and opening it. "i don't need to imagine at all" he whispered, lowering her onto the bed, both of them kissing and nipping.

"Don't we need to...to ...meet ...the others?" Elaina managed to gasp out.

Josef looked at her and smirked "i don't think my private plane will leave without me" and proceeded to leave a line of kisses down her neck.

***

They arrived at the airport half an hour late looking tousled and somewhat mischievous. Loading their bags onto the plane, they were greeted in the cabin by the Mick and Beth.

"oh thank goodness!" said Beth, jumping up to hug Elaina "we thought you guys wouldn't make it!"

Josef smirked and winked at Beth "as i told Elaina, what kind of private jet takes off without the owner?"

Josef rapped on the cockpit and informed the crew they were ready. Slipping back into the cabin, he sat down opposite Mick and buckled his seatbelt. Within a few minutes, they were cleared for takeoff and they were off to London
