This story takes place right after Valek and Yelena attended the Commander's Brandy Meeting; in which Yelena, as the Commander's food taster, had to taste every single brandy the Commander had, so you should know what's happening to her after all that…
Yelena's POV
"Are you sure you can walk?" Valeks voice invaded my mind with a concerned tone. "Yeah, of course," I screeched as I tripped over my boots and tumbled to the ground in front of him. Valek sighs and picks me up off the ground, cradling me in his muscular arms. I looked up into his eyes and found myself baffled, yet again, as his sapphire-blue eyes invaded my mind. Desire surged through me. I wanted to pull him closer and tell him all my feelings, but the little sense I had told me not to, to save myself from looking like a fool and getting my heart broken. I wished he felt the same way about me that I felt towards him, but I knew that would never happen. He carried me to his-I mean our- suite, and unlocked the door, laying me carefully on the little loveseat. He sat across from me on the couch. He sat still for a while, his brow creasing with frustration? I wasn't sure. "Valek, what's wrong?" I asked as he looked up at me. "I felt an odd presence, like a magician, in the room tonight." he said "it was during Commander Aro, from MD-7's, speech on his crops and I was tuning him out". Oh crap, busted! I wonder what Valek would do to me, probably bring me to the Commander and offer the noose. He got up and unbuttoned his shirt, taking it off in one hand and taking off his belt with the other. He threw them both on a pile of books stacked messily nearby. As he sat, he stared at me. I averted my eyes and stood. As I stood, the world spun, and the liquid oozing in my stomach moved around, threatening to come up. Valek stood and grabbed me around the waist pulling me down towards him, we sat. Unusually close, I could smell his spicy aroma, as my vision cleared I noticed he was still staring at me and I cleared my throat to speak. " So if the world was perfect, meaning no dangers and fighting, what would you do?" he sat for the longest time and though, " I would carve", and I thought of the little rocks scattered all over his suite, I guess I'm going to have to snoop a little later. "How about you?" he asked unexpectedly. "Oh that's easy an acrobat," I said not realizing how easy it was for me to talk about my passion to this assassin. As he talked I scanned his body, since I forgot until now that he was still shirtless. He was very toned, and his abs glistened with sweat from the heat of our suite. My heart pulsed faster and faster, and as the thought entered my head, I didn't fight, I acted. I slid behind Valek and started massaging his broad shoulders, I could feel him go stiff, but then he relaxed under my touch. I tilted my head forward and kissed the side of his neck as my hands wondered down his spine, I felt him shiver.
Valek's POV
As I got used to her touch, I want so badly to grab her and pull her around so she'd sit right on my lap. But I knew she didn't have feelings for me, then I second guessed that as I felt a heart warming kiss being placed on my neck. It was the hardest thing to do; to keep still and not let my instincs take me. I knew she's just drunk and feels nothing, I just couldn't find myself to pull her away. Instead I shiver as I feel her hands lowering, tracing my spine and the muscle lines that are embedded in my body. She nears my pants and I reach back, grabbing her hands and pulling her to face me. At first I'm froze and she looks teary eyed as if I offended her, then I reach one of my hands from hers and stroke her hair from her face. She gives a little smile and leans in to where our foreheads touch. I pull her body towards mine to close the gap and gently lay down on the couch, she ontop of me. In her eyes I see a change, sudden desire pulsed from her. I felt her heart beat unnaturally and after a while mine did too. I pulled her head down and held her to me as she looked up, smiled, and said " Valek, I know you think I'm just drunk and this isn't real , but I do have a lot of feelings for you" and she kissed me with such a passion, shock stopped me. I was frozen and she started to get up, I grabbed her and turned so I was ontop. Making sure I didn't crush her, I gave her a kiss, with the same, maybe more, passion in it. We exchanged glances for a while then shared another series of kissing that turned more deep than before. Sometime between catching our breaths and moving upstairs, she managed to undo her shirt and my pants, and when we reached my bed our clothes were gone and we huddled against eachother for warmth. That night, I finally got what I wanted, I made love to the only woman I have ever loved in my life.
Yelena's POV
I woke up at five in the morning and I felt odd. As I looked around I gave a small gasp and realized what Valek and I did last night. Regret pulsed in my heart and I dressed and went to my room, locking the door. I knew he'd be angry with me, he must have been so drunk last night and I didn't stop him. I layed in my bed, hoping to be there for the next week or so, until Valek forgave me and we get passed this. I dozed, thinking of Valek and his muscular frame in my reach.
Valek's POV
I woke at five thirty and smiled to myself. But as I rolled over to see Yelena laying next to me , I found that she had gone. What did I do?I shouldn't have let her do that, I knew she was drunk! She probably hates me. I slid down the banister leading downstairs and walked to her room. I slowly, and carefully grabbed her doorknob and moved it left to right. 'Crap, locked!' I guess I was going to have to pick her lock, or would she be even more angry with me. I walked down the halls and corridors and went to my office. I breathed deep for a second then realized there was an odd smell to my desk, as if someone was in here looking through my papers. I started to look around the room and as I turned toward the window, a light breeze hit me and a brown bag was pulled over my head. The string around the bag tightened ever time I tensed more, choking me. I blacked out soon and was dragged out of my office and into the light.
