Chapter One
Author's Note: Okay, I got this idea from Ann415's fic challenge, which was to have Sami, Nicole and Kate all team up for some reason. This fic is mostly Lumi but it has some other pairings and it will probably have quite a few appearances made by Jan and Crystal. I hope the first chapter turned out okay because I've had trouble writing lately, so I'd love to know what you think of it.
"I really hate doing this." Lucas' eyes flashed with jealousy as he shot a quick look in the DA's direction, "But I'm going to give you an ultimatum. It's either him," Lucas eyed the man a second time, "Or me."
Sami stood frozen, her mouth dropped open in shock at Lucas' words. Lucas looked incredibly jealous at that moment and normally, seeing him in that state over her would have been flattering. But not now. She turned to look at Ray helplessly, who just crossed his arms over his chest in return, waiting for her to answer Lucas' question. Sami couldn't give up this chance, it was too good of an opportunity. There would probably never be another time when she would meet another person that fit so perfectly into her schemes that was interested in her. She would be crazy to give up on him just because Lucas was acting like a caveman.
Swallowing hard, Sami swivelled her head back around so she was facing Lucas. Her eyes sparked with rebellion and she raised one eyebrow, "You don't own me, Lucas. And you should know by now that I do not like being given ultimatums or being told what to do. You can't control me. I'm staying with him."
She saw Lucas' jaw clench but he nodded stiffly, "Fine. But you know, I really do hope he has better luck with you than I had." Sami's heart sank at his words.
I really do hope he has better luck with you than I had... Had. Past tense. As in, he was telling her it was over. She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, trying to push away the insistent pangs of regret she was already feeling. When she opened her eyes, Lucas had turned around and was storming out of the Blue Note. Instinctively, Sami pushed past several people and hurried after him. Once they were outside, Sami managed to catch up to Lucas and snagged his arm. He whirled around to look at her, his eyes darkened with anger.
"What the hell are you doing?" Sami demanded, throwing his arm down in disgust.
Lucas stared at her blankly, "What am I doing? I'm leaving and letting you spend the rest of your night in that guy's company like you wanted. Can I leave now?"
"No." Sami shot back abruptly, "Stop acting like a freaking twelve year-old already! You can't even argue with them because they always think they're right and everyone else is wrong! You don't even understand what is going on. I have a perfectly legitimate reason for wanting to talk to this guy and it has nothing to do with any type of attraction I have towards him."
"Really? Does he know that?" Lucas continued to glare at Sami, "And if you're not attracted to him, then why are you throwing yourself at him?"
Sami felt herself growing less regretful and more angry with each word that came out of Lucas' mouth, "That is none of your damn business. Why can't you just let me have my own life? Everything that I do does not have to revolve around you and there is nothing wrong with spending some time with a friend."
"I couldn't agree more. But you looked like you were getting a little too friendly with him in there." before Sami could protest, Lucas continued with a sigh, pushing one hand through his hair, "I don't want to control you. But how am I supposed to trust you when you keep sneaking around like this and pushing me away when I ask you what's going on?"
Sami gritted her teeth, all regret finally replaced by sheer anger, "I guess you'll just have to figure that one out on your own." she replied shortly, before turning on her heel and stalking back into the Blue Note.
"Mm, Shawn, you taste so good." Jan purred, nipping lightly at the captive man's neck, "I can't take waiting any longer. Make love to me now, Shawn."
Shawn thrust his hips upward slightly in a vain attempt to throw Jan off of him, "No! When is going to sink in, Jan? I am never going to sleep with you. Belle is the only woman I am ever going to make love to because she is the only woman that I actually love."
"It's really too bad Belle doesn't feel the same way about you." Jan retorted, flinging her long curls over her shoulder in frustration, "Because while you're stuck here trying to resist me, Belle is off screwing your best friend."
Shawn opened his mouth, then closed it, his head hanging in defeat. Smiling triumphantly, Jan lowered her mouth back down to his neck. Slowly but surely, Shawn was weakening and whether he chose to admit it or not, he did believe her stories about Phillip and Belle. And why shouldn't he? Jan could continue to tell him all about Phillip and Belle's little affair because it was true.
The sound of the doorbell ringing made Jan scowl into Shawn's neck and she pulled herself off of him. Moving quickly, she covered Shawn's mouth with a gag and stepped into her old lady costume, which had been strewn all over the room outside Shawn's cage. Once every piece of her costume was in place, Jan hurried downstairs. She opened the front door tentatively, before her shoulder dropped in relief when she saw who was at the door. She let Nicole and another woman she didn't know inside the country home, then began shedding the layers of her disguise angrily.
"What are you doing here, Nicole? You made me get into this annoying granny outfit for nothing. You could have at least called first. And why did you have to show up right before Shawn was about to give in to my sexy advances?" Jan demanded indignantly.
Nicole rolled her eyes, "I'm sure he was, Jan. You just keep telling yourself that. Now, I have another favour to ask of you."
Jan huffed impatiently, "Well, what is it now? God, this is like, a one-way street, Nicole. The real question I should be asking is, what have you done for me lately."
"Oh, quit whining, it's really not a big deal." Nicole promised, then turned to look at the woman that had followed her inside the country house, "Jan, meet Crystal." Jan gave the woman in the red dress a fleeting smile before turning back to Nicole, "She has to stay with you for a while." Nicole finished.
"She what?" Jan exploded, looking around anxiously, "She cannot stay here. There is no room, if she moves in, it will be way too crowded."
"Jan, there are tons of extra rooms in this place." Nicole pointed out, "You could kidnap every guy in Salem and keep them hostage here and there would still be room left over. This place is huge."
Kidnap every guy in Salem? Jan's eyes glazed over at the thought, And hold them hostage in my kinky country home and put all of them in their own little cages? I like the sound of that.
Finally, Jan nodded reluctantly, "I guess she can stay here. But only for a while." Jan added quickly, "And she can't bother me and Shawn. We still have a lot of catching up to do. It's been so long since we've seen each other."
Crystal grinned at Jan, "Hey, I think it will be fun here. I can't believe you had the nerve to tie up some guy for your own personal pleasure. I would so love to do that to John. He's the only reason I'm staying in Salem, you know. Nicky wanted me to leave but I said I wouldn't because I still want a shot at that gorgeous hunk."
Nicole ignored Crystal and quickly explained to Jan, "I wanted her to get out of town so she wouldn't cause trouble for me but she refused. And I can't very well have her living under the same roof with snoopy Brady, what with her big mouth and all. So, she's just going to stay here for a while. Here's her suitcase and stuff and wow, look at the time, I have to go." looking very relieved to have gotten rid of Crystal, Nicole fled from the country home, leaving Jan and Crystal alone in the front room.
Jan turned to Crystal, still annoyed that she had to play hostess with Nicole's stupid friend, "Come on, you can have the room on the far side of the hallway, away from Shawn's bedroom." Jan began walking up the stairs and Crystal followed closely behind her. After Crystal had thrown her bags into the room Jan had designated for her, Jan smiled brightly at the new addition to her country house.
"So," Jan began casually, "Do you want to meet my sex slave? It's okay if he sees you, you won't get in trouble for being my 'accomplice' because he's never getting out, so he can't tell on you."
Crystal's eyes lit up, "Oh, do I ever. I bet he's totally gorgeous." Jan nodded in agreement and pulled Crystal out of the room. They reached Shawn's bedroom and Shawn started when he saw the second woman enter the room.
"Who the hell is this?" Shawn demanded, his restraints clanking loudly, "Is she the one that's been helping you?" Jan shook her head and sashayed towards Shawn.
"No, she's just my friend." Jan responded, "She'll be staying with us for a while but don't worry, Shawn. She won't get in the way of our love-making sessions. I'll make sure of it."
"We do not engage in love-making sessions in the first place, idiot." Shawn said sharply, "Get it through your thick head I do not like you, nor do I love you and no, I do not want to have sex with you. Why don't you just let me go now before you end up being sorry you ever started this crazy thing?"
Jan flinched and turned to Crystal apologetically, "I guess you know the truth now. We don't have any fun because Shawn's boring. And it is driving me... insane." Jan's eyes flashed desperately and she fisted her hair in her hands. She made a tiny noise in the back of her throat and ripped a small handful of her hair out of her head.
"Woah, there." Crystal looked somewhat frightened, "It's going to be okay, girl. They have places for people like you."
Jan was hyperventilating now, "It's not... healthy. People don't go this long without it. I must have it... I have needs here." she stepped towards the bed, "Why won't you have sex to me?" she wailed then dropped to the floor, shaking uncontrollably.
"Holy shit, girl. You gotta go to a sex rehab or something. I've seen druggies get like this when they've gone too long without a fix." Crystal's eyes were wide, then she spoke again, "Of course, I don't know why you're sticking with this guy. If he doesn't want to have sex with you, that's fine. There are other guys out there. Why don't you find another guy to lock in a cage and see if he'll sleep with you? Or better yet, just to be on the safe side, lock a whole bunch of guys up in this house and see which one breaks first." Crystal suggested.
Jan stopped shaking and got to her feet, "That is such a great idea. Okay, to start off with, Phillip definitely needs to be here. With him gone, Belle will completely fall apart and that will be very fun to see. He's pretty cute too."
"I'll help you." Crystal volunteered, "We won't tell Nicole about this and we'll kidnap Brady too. Oh, and John of course. He is one fabulously delicious man."
"What does Nicole have to do with anything?" Shawn spoke up but both women ignored him.
Jan winced at the idea of someone actually considering her worst enemy's father 'fabulously delicious', "We can get him after we've gotten other people. We can't forget Mimi's boyfriend. Talk about hot. I think Phillip has a hot older brother too."
Shawn struggled against the handcuffs, "You guys can't do this. It's bad enough you've got me locked up here. You will get caught if you decide to go after other guys."
Jan laughed, "Right, we'll get caught. I'm so sure. Never mind that we are holding the police commander's son hostage and the police department still hasn't gotten it's act together and found you. We're just too smart for them. Come on, Crystal, let's go start making some more plans. I think I've found a new best friend." the two women linked arms and left Shawn's bedroom, leaving him staring after the two of them in horror.
