So, Alec has the hots for Ade, it would appear! I wonder if it'll go any further than him stealing away a glance every chance he gets... ;-)

Alec's POV

I led her out of the doorway and into the hall. I felt slightly nervous; this was the first time we'd be alone together, and she really was attractive. She walked ahead of me and my eyes trailed down her back and to her backside. I smiled appreciatively at the curve of her ass, the roundness was just perfect. I continued down and my eyes lingered on the slight gap between her thighs, imagining what lay between them...
"Um, Alec?" My head snapped up; shit. She was smirking, obviously realising what I'd been doing. I hardened my face and looked her in the eye, before marching in front of her slightly faster than human speed.
"Your room is at the end of this hallway," I said after we'd climbed the staircase to the third floor. "Heidi will take you shopping for clothes when she returns, until then there are a few things in the wardrobe,"
"Oh, thanks!" She said brightly. "Aren't you going to, well, show me around a little more? You could show me my room..." her eyes widened and glistened as they bore into mine. I nodded and led her into the huge, square room. It contained a four poster bed, with gossamer curtains in a deep gold hanging around the top. The bedsheets were of a similar colour, with darker and lighter golds woven into the fabric. There was a mid-eighteenth century wardrobe with double doors and a matching chest-of-drawers on the far end of the room, next to the door which led to the bathroom. She didn't need the bed, obviously, but it did keep up appearances if we were to have any unexpected visitors.
"So does it hurt everyone that much? You know, when they're turned?" She asked suddenly.
"Yes. It's fiery torture, but many believe that the result is much worth the pain."
"What, you don't?" she looked up at me curiously, her dark brows pulled in at the middle slightly.
"I appreciate the life I've been given very much, and Aro even more for giving it to me. I was merely stating that some do neglect their creators due to them not wanting this life,"
"Oh. Like who?" she asked confused. Did this girl ever stop asking questions?
"Well, one of the Cullens from your hometown, Rosalie, stated that she never wanted this life due to her want for children."
"Oh," She said in a small voice.
"Well..." I continued, "This is your room. If there is anything else you need, call for me. My room is the one below yours."
"Wait!" She yelled unnecessarily loudly.
"Yes?" I asked, slightly annoyed. I wanted to get away from her, because I wanted to be around her far too much at the same time. If I got away, I'd be able to think straight.
"Could you, um... Please don't go," she said sadly, her eyes wide. My annoyance dissolved as she said it, wanting more and more to hold her.
"I just, I don't want to be alone, you know? Aro has left and you're the only person I've really spoken to apart from Felix and Demetri, and I don't know where they are. Please, I know I sound needy and everything but-"
"I'll stay," I interrupted her, as the need to hold her grew painful. "You really need to clean yourself up, though. I'll wait outside..."
"No! You don't have to, it's fine. Just um, wait in here while I go take a shower," she smiled. I raised my right eyebrow at her again and she looked up at me, a hungry look in her eyes. She then sped off into the bathroom, where I heard the faucet of the shower start. It was then that I realised that she hadn't taken any clothes into the bathroom with her. Fuck. Fuck! Had she done that on purpose? No, she couldn't have, she didn't seem like that type of girl... But hell, I'd been wrong before. It didn't matter anyway, I'd politely step outside while she dressed and all would be well. I had been so lost in my panicked thoughts that I hadn't realised that she'd entered the room again, dripping wet, with a fluffy, white towel wrapped around her body. A towel, might I add, that was far too small to be used as a body towel. I gulped.
"Sorry," she said in a low voice. "I forgot my clothes..."
"It's fine. I'll wait outside while you dress-" I started, but she interrupted me.
"No, no it's fine. Just... Don't look," she giggled. My eyes widened; she had done it on purpose. What the fuck?! Her confidence really had grown. Rather a lot, too.I sat down on the bed and faced the wall so that she was to my right, next to the wardrobe.

I heard her rubbing herself down to dry off, and then a low, muted thud; she'd dropped the towel. I breathed in deeply, and turned my head towards her, slowly, ever so slightly... Damn it. She'd already gotten her underwear on. As flattering on her as it was; a black, sheer lace bra and matching bottoms, I had to admit that I was disappointed. It may sound perverted, but I really wanted to see her.
"Ahem." Crap. My alertness was really low lately, I needed to work on that.
"Yes?" I asked, acting as though I'd done nothing wrong. She raised her eyebrow at me, like I'd done to her earlier, and smiled an evil smile. I gulped, again. Noone had ever made me feel as nervous as she did, and we'd only just met.
"Tut tut, Alec," she said, still smiling at me. Did Aro's venom contain cocaine or something? This girl's confidence had gone from six feet under to so high I couldn't see the top.
"Since you've seen some of me," she turned to face me. "I'd say it's only fair that I get to see some of you..." I would have gulped again, but I was too busy examining her semi-naked body. Her olive skin seemed to glisten slightly even though we were indoors at night-time, and her perfect chest was heaving as though she were out of breath.
"What is going on in here?" I heard a cold, infuriated voice say. Jane.
"Jane! Thank God you're here, may I speak with you, sister?" I said in relief, sprinting to her side and gripping her arm. Adrianna looked at me, a mix of shock and confusion on her face as well as a hint of realisation; I think she realised that she'd been being a bit... Forward. With that, I twisted Jane out of the room and closed the door behind me. I lifted her by the waist and sped her to the throne room, which luckily for me, was empty.
"What on Earth are you doing, Alec?!" Jane screeched when I set her down.
"Jane... Please, you mustn't be angry with me-"
"It's her, isn't it?" she asked with an unreadable look on her face; she looked neither angry nor pleased.
"I-Yes. I don't know what it is, though. She's just... Fascinating. And it's ridiculous, because I've only just met her, and we've hardly even had a conversation but-" she silenced me by placing her tiny finger over my lips
"Alec, compose yourself. It's alright, I... Understand your predicament. Marcus told me before he left. He said that you may not realise yet, but you'll eventually... Become very close with her. Whether that would be in a friendship way or something else, he said he didn't know." She finished with a tiny, tiny sympathetic smile. I stared at her, shocked. What? That's what Marcus got from reading our ties? Ridiculous. I mean, sure. I'd been nicer to her than I had to anyone other than in the guard already, but that didn't mean anything. It was pure lust which I felt for Ade... No. Adrianna. Lust, and that was it. And I'd make sure she knew of it. Was I going to let my reputation go from feared and respected to hopeless romantic? Was I hell.
"Thanks for your concern, sister. But I can assure you, she's nothing more than an item to me. I realise that now." I winked at her, and she smiled hugely.
"Oh, brother! You almost had me scared, then. I thought you'd gone soft on me," she pouted.
"Never, dear Jane. Never." And I meant it. I'd go to any lengths to let the girl know that she was something to look at and nothing more.
"Well, I'm going to find Santiago to see if he wants a fight," Jane said with an evil glint in her eye.
"I'll join you, call Chelsea and Afton, Demetri, Felix and Renata, too. See if they'd like to come, we can have four on four matches," I grinned. She nodded in agreement with an excited smile on her face, and sped off. I followed her at human speed, content with the fact that I now had something to distract my mind from the girl upstairs. At least for now...
