CHAPTER TWO

The days passed quickly and Thierry's mood was lifted. He was still cautious, but eased up on his too-protective stance. Sara was relieved. She had caught a glimpse of Thierry's laidback side only once: on their honeymoon. She missed that. She missed the carefree he was, and the bouyant mood he was in, while they were on that private island. She also missed his genuine, boyish smile. A rare smile that she'd only seen that one fleeting week.

She decided, that she would make it all up to Thierry. She wanted him feel exrtaordinary. She wanted him to be the same happy that he'd been on her honeymoon. She wanted Thierry to stay that same happy. He needed to realize that the biggest of dangers were over.

Now, they needed to enjoy their life together. Sara felt they deserved it.

Sara asked her girl friends what they thought would be a good way to lift a guys 'spirit' and what would be a good way to make things up to Thierry. They of course, had several different answers. Poppy, being the sweetie she was, suggested setting up a remake scene of their honeymoon. Thea suggested they try to get away again, since their honeymoon was ruined by Maya's possession. She said Thierry may have remained laid-back, were it not for that event happening so quickly after they returned. Sara nodded at this. It was true, as soon as they returned to Las Vegas, Maya was already controling her.

Blaise suggested Sara buy some very naughty lingerie and let Thierry have his way with her. Sara blushed at this idea, but didn't throw it out. Mare suggested the same as Thea, only not about returning to the island. She suggested a different honeymoon place. Maggie agreed with Mare, coming up with several other vacation spots. Gillian and Keller had the same idea: lock Thierry in a room and have her way with him. Sara laughed hard at the idea. She could picture trying to hold Thierry down and force herself upon him. Not that he'd complain, but she doubt that would be any different from any other night.

Rashel's suggestion also made Sara laugh. Rashel suggested just kicking his butt and telling him to get happy. Jez agreed with Rashel, laughing along with them. Sara had written all the suggestions down in a notepad she was carrying around. After she left Rashel and Jez, she crossed their's off. Still shaking her head and laughing, she went on to the next girl for advice. It seemes as though they were all good ideas, but none struck her yet as a way to make Thierry undeniably happy.

Jade and Rowan suggested setting up a romantic seduction scene. Lily agreed, but threw in a point about using Thierry's hot tub. Lupe concord also adding in a bit of advice: get Thierry buzzed off some hard liquor. Sara frowned slightly.

"But, Thierry doesn't drink." Sara replied.

Lupe smiled, "Thierry used to before he met you. Not that he was a raging drunk, but he was fun." she answered slyly.

Sara frowned. She was wondering what Lupe could possibly mean.

"How fun..?" she questioned.

"Thierry used to be a big party guy. I guess in main part of 'Hannah's' wildness. But, he seems to have tamed a bit." Lupe answered.

Why isn't he that way with me?, Sara thought, I like to party and have fun..

Lowell, as always, read her face and spoke up, coming to Sara's defence. But, not standing against Lupe either.

"Sara, maybe you just need to show him..remind him how you can party too." he suggested, winking at her.

Sara thought about and smiled smugly. Either way, it would be worth a shot.

So, for the next few weeks, Sara tried one suggestion after the other. Each one that she had written down in her notepad. Each one worked their magic, but didn't seem enough. At least not to Sara. On the other hand, Thierry was suprised, and somewhat amused, by Sara's sudden inclination on springing surprises on him, every night.

Each evening he returned home, there was always something new. From picnics, to an erotic bubble bath, to her even taking chocolate syrup and going down on him, for the first time. It was all exciting and interesting, but Theirry couldn't help wonder just what the hell she was up to. Not that he minded. Hell, no! He was loving this sudden attention, she was lavishing on him. What he wanted to know was: why?

Okay, so the chocolate syrup and blow-job was close, Sara thought, frustrated. But, it just didn't seem to work it's charm. She frowned.

Maybe, she just didn't do it right. She'd never done it before, so she might not have performed the right way. She might try again. Maybe.

She looked at her list in her hand. It was all crossed off. She had done every suggestion, and performed every possible sexual action, she could think of. And, while Thierry seemed to enjoy all the things she was doing, she just didn't feel as if it was good enough.

The only thing left was..Lupe's suggestion. A good alcoholic buzz. She bit her lip, chewing thoughtfully. She herself had never been drunk. She drank before, but never let herself get drunk.

Maybe..she thought to herself, just maybe.

She figured, maybe she could mix two ideas into one. Get Thierry buzzed and lock him in his office and be playfully aggressive with him. She grinned, slyly. She could do this. And, with some sexy lingerie thrown in, for extra measure. She ran down the stairs, out ofthe mansion and got into her car. She drove as quickly, as legally possible. She had her mind set and was determined.

Just wait, Thierry, she thought to herself, I'll have you begging for mercy!

Thierry was sitting in the back of the limo. Nilsson just picked him up from the overnighter, he pulled. He was called to the council, to discuss the incident surrounding Hunter's death. Of course, Thierry played it cool and no one questioned him, to closely. What with Thierry being Lord and all, no one really questioned him.

Thierry shook his head to clear his thoughts. He cleared all suspicion of his or any other's involvement. Now, he was pondering over Sara's inccessant activities. For some reason, she's been so eager to please him. And, it seemed, as if she felt she failed each time. For every night after the first, she had another surprise.

Not that he wanted to complain. He was loving it way too damn much to put a stop to it. It was amazing and exciting the things she was doing. What he still couldn't figure out was, why was she going to such extremes. The same question haunted him. He wondered, if maybe she was acting out of redemption or guilt. He knew she wasn't doing anything else behind his back, like she had been before she started these rendevous. So, more than likely it was possible, she felt as if she'd fallen from his good graces. He sighed and leaned his head against the back of the seat.

True, after the Maya incident, he was touchy and over-protective. Then, shortly after that, came the discovery of Sara being able to enter someone's memories. Not only when she healed them, but anytime. She could pull herself, and others, into memories. Her own and theirs. She discovered this when she was playing with her light. She was focusing her healing light, seeing if she could call it forth, by choice. Then, Poppy happened to step into the way of said light, and their bodies went stiff. It was scary, because no matter what they tried, Thierry and James couldn't wake the two girls. And, they were to scared to do more than shake them, and yell their names.

Finally, after forty-five minutes, they came to. Both girls were in awe, and Sara explained it was like they were ghosts. Visiting the past and seeing it again. It was then, that Thierry became scared. Her powers were just so vast, and were evolving so quickly. He worried that Maya could come back, through her memories. That was when he put his foot down. He didn't want a repeat of Maya's possession.

Thierry came back to the present and opened his eyes. He wasn't angry or disappointed with her, but he realized he may have needed to tell her that. He really needed to talk to her, and figure out what was going on.

He tried to talk to her before, but the talking always turned into screaming... sexual screaming. And, the things, she'd been doing, made him burn for her in a way he never thought possible. It got to where he was desiring her so desperately. He couldn't live wthout her. He couldn't even stand to be away from her side. He sighed feeling the desire boil up in his nether-regions. He had to get home...and fast!

She had set it all up, and now she was laying on the made bed, waiting. She actually felt giddy, with eagerness, on the act she was about to pull off. She asked everyone to please stay clear of her and Thierry, putting them up in a hotel. She had bought a bottle of the strongest alcohol she could find. Not that she knew what she was looking for at first.

She was at a little liquor store, pondering over her choices, having a hard time figuring things out. Then, this girl came out of the blue and helped her. She revealed she was a witch, but she was a good witch. She knew of Lord Thierry and supported his cause. Sara considered taking anything from this woman. But, she seemed friendly and sincere, so Sara complied and went with her.

The girl, Salome, said she could concoct the Rum orf'd Dionyscus. It was a strong alcoholic beverage and held unique qualities. Sara questioned what qualities these were, and Salome explained that it held the magic of wanting and desire. Sara pondered all this, and then after a few moment, she purchased the bottle. She felt it wouldn't hurt to have a little magic, to go along with her plan. Besides, it might help. Sara thanked the girl and left. She was so focused on her evening, that she didn't hear Salome bid her farwell.

"Good luck. You'll need it." Salome called, lowly.

Okay, I finished chapter two and three. But, I won't post three til tomorrow. That way I can get a look at who's interest is peaked. Please R&R! Let me know what ya'll think!
