Hello! ^_^ So, I had a lot of fun writing this... made me laugh... hope you enjoy too!


"I don't see why you don't wanna dress in your costume. We do every year." Sophie sighed deeply, watching her best friend run around the room, getting ready. Her blond hair was pulled up into a messy bun and her blue eyes were brimming with excitement.

"What are you dressing as this year anyway?" Sophie picked up a rather extravagently feathered hat, that was sitting ontop of a red corset she hadn't seen before.

"I! Am! A! Pirate!" Alexa Bennett punctuated each word with a different prop for her costume. "And you are so going to dress up because I need a first mate."

"Uh... but... I'm not sure." She watched as Lex, hitched up her numerous skirts, she wore similar knee high boots to the ones she had. "Did I tell you, David and his cousin are coming with us." She stopped and stared dumbly.

"...Oh... You are so dressing up." She went back to her closet to pull out a brand new black corset she knew, just knew, Sophie would look drop dead gorgeous in.

"Eh? No, no... That's my reason for not dressing up." Lex grinned at her dear, dense, friend. Pulling out the lacy black thing.

"Sweetie, you're wearing this corset my Mama made for that theater company. Sorry, but since I'm the captain I get the red one." Sophie opened her mouth to protest, Lex was much faster though, and tossed her something which startled her enough so she yipped, "And you can keep those pants on, just tuck them into your boots. Again, I get the skirts cause I'm el capitan."

"Yessum," Sophie sighed, and lifted the shirt thing to examine it, years ago she would've tried to argue with her about not wanting to do something. It never seemed to work though, she always lost. Which was always a bit of a shock since she could out argue nearly everyone else they knew. Her eyes widened, "No! Where is the rest of this!" The shirt! It was missing the part that you know, covered the chest area.

"What?" Lex raised her eye, picking up her own underbust chemis. "It's so the corset will be more comfortable, you don't actually believe I'll let you cover your boobs when your boyfriend is coming do you?"

"Actually, I was kinda hoping you would..."

"C'mon, you have to show a little skin to that boy, and he's so hot I'm surprised you haven't gotten to the good part yet."

"What good part?" She mumbled, unlacing her boots to tuck her pants into them.

"You know, the whole sex part of the deal..." She laughed when Sophie looked at her aghast.

"How do you know it's the good part, you've got as much experience as I do." Sophie shook her head, getting her boots on properly.

"Think about it, we read those Dark Hunter novels like crazy, we're always reading fan fiction. And it's not for the story lovey." She smiled and tossed a few accessories to her friend, "If half the stories we read didn't have sex scenes we wouldn't read them, because honestly the actual story is barely decent."

"Ugh, don't say it like that. You make us sound like we're perverts." Sophie stood, grimacing slightly as Lex laughed; she tied a belt around her waist. Handkerchiefs and some chains hung from it and she couldn't help but be excited to be dressing in costume. It might embarrass her to face David, but she adored dressing up. "Hey you're Mom came up with some cool things recently." She swished her hips to hear the jangling of the chains.

"I know right, she would be here right now helping me sexify you up for your little boyfriend but she had to go to the ballet company for an emergency. Apperantly, one of the girls ripped their tutu."

"Ah... I don't know if that is a good thing... or bad..." Sophie mumbled. She adored Lex's mom, Lisa Bennett was really fun to be around. She was a costume designer and maker who owned a fairly successful shop in town. Needless to say Alexa inherited her love of dressing up.

"Come here and help me Sophie," Lex had put on the red corset. It brought out the blue of her eyes, and definitely helped add color to her pale features.

"Hey, that looks good on you," She stood and began tightening the laces.

"I know right," Lex grinned, "Don't worry, that black one will be pretty on you too. We'll have to do something with your hair though, and I'll do your make up too."

"You know, you get way too into this." She sighed slightly, "And we'll be outside how will make up be practical?"

"You always complain before seeing the finished product, then you're happy as all hell, so hurry and get to tightening...Ooph!" She frowned slightly, "That wasn't right."

"I was just following orders Captain." Sophie grinned, and then tilted her head, "Tell me exactly how someone can be 'happy as all hell'?"

"Pshh... Have you ever met an unhappy demon? I think not."

"I've never met a demon period."

"My point exactly." Sophie laughed softly and stood back to admire her work.

"Well damn, you look good Lex."

"I know right," She grinned and turned on her friend. Only she could move in a corset as if it was just a t-shirt. "You're turn!"

"No! No! No!" Sophie backed away, "Not until you hand me a proper shirt!"

"Like hell, that'll negate the whole purpose of dressing you in a skimpy corset for your boyfriend." Sophie yelped as she was pounced upon. "Hahaha! You can not escape!"

"...What the hell are you two up to? You're noisy and annoying..." The both turned to face Alexa's older brother. Charlie Bennett was a pretty well regarded computer programmer who usually worked for the government. On the side he was a successful game developer, why he still lived with his parents at 26 years of age was a mystery to everyone.

"Charlie... uh...Hi?" Sophie wasn't all too worried about being topless in front of him, he was an older brother to her and her siblings. Their parents were best friends; hell Lex's dad Peter was the architect that helped Sophie's parents build their house. All of the kids practically grew up together; and group baths, baby changings, and babysitting had all been supervised by the much older Charlie. She didn't count as a 'girl', she was just a 'sister' like Alexa, so nudity was no problem.

"You know, they're pretty liberal out there, but I'm pretty sure you still need some kind of shirt Sophie."

"I know that! Tell her to give me a proper shirt first!" She said indignantly even as Lex shoved the useless, chest revealing tube top over her head. For some reason she felt like an infant.

"Oh shush. Tell her, Charlie, that her boyfriend would prefer to look at her boobs than fabric covering her boobs."

"Yeah, I'm with Lex on this Sophie. I can say I thoroughly enjoy seeing Crissa without a shirt instead of with one." He watched with amusement as she pouted, and yet didn't fight as Alexa had her way. "Though, as a brother, I can't say I approve of you two stepping out of the house looking like this. You have your dagger at least right Lex?" She nodded, begining to tie the indignant Sophie in securely.

"Don't worry, her boyfriend and his cousin will be with us. But I do have a spork in case they turn out to be crazyheads... Or whimps and leave us defenseless."

"He's not like that!" Sophie gasped, "Air!"

"Sorry..." Lex grinned, "Sucks doesn't it?" She pat Sophie's hair, "And I'm sure he's a decent guy." She smiled and made her sit down, "Now don't move," She glanced at Charlie, starting to pin up her hair. "Will you and Crissa be there?"

"I dunno, she's dead asleep right now, had a late night deadline on her comics, and I have a few more levels to get done before tomorow."

"Well you guys suck, I don't know why you leave things like that for last minute."

"Yeah you do baby sis, we're lazy and procrastinate, which is why you haven't even finished your sculpture that was due yesterday." Lex waved him off.

"Oh shush, I'm an artiste, we have different expectations. No one actually expects their things on time, just amazing." He chuckled and shook his head.

"Whatever, just keep it down will you?" They both nodded, "See yah later then."

"He's such a lazy ass..." Lex mumbled.

"You can't talk... ow!" Sophie frowned and looked up at her, "What was that for?"

"No mouthing off to your capitan," She grinned.

"Jeez... Remind me to never let you be the leader again..."

"So where are we going?" David felt a migraine beginning, Jamie was acting like a puppy. Under normal circumstances he was excellent with children, but something about an adult acting like one just pissed him off.

"I told you, we're meeting up with Sophie."

"Uh huh, and you couldn't have brought her to the apartment why?" James wasn't stupid, his very bones sang with expectation. With each second that passed he knew he was nearing something important. A breakthrough in his life.

"She wants to go to the Rennaissance Faire." He sighed turning into the long, heavily wooded driveway that lead up to her friend's house. Why he had felt the need for them to portray themselves as everyday hardworking, even struggling humans he wouldn't know. Both of their mates lives relatively wealthy, comfortable lives.

"She was going to go on her own?" David sighed again, oh well they're almost to the house anyway.

"No, she was going to go with your mate." Jamie's eyes widened, and his jaw dropped, blessed silence filled the car.

"My mate! You've finally brought me to my mate?" He jumped onto David in excitement.

"Down boy!" David swerved to avoid a tree. "Don't do that!" He shook his head and glared at the bereaved white wolf at his side. "You better change yourself back Jamie, damn..." He shook his head, James might as well be a puppy, even losing control of his form.

"When I see her, I don't know what I'll do." Jamie growled as clothes materialized on his body, he was thankful David had said for them to wear kilts or he'd be very uncomfortable. All he kept seeing was the voluptous angel who transformed into a succubus on her own whims. He loved his mate, but all the torment he'd had to suffer because of her for the past few years, he'd get his revenge dammit.

"You'll remember your manners is what you'll do, none of what you're thinking Jamie. It won't end well if you meet her with resentment." He shook his head and parked, pulling out his cell phone. "I swear you are a stupid wolf sometimes." Jamie growled louder and got out of the car after David.

"Better than a pet dog." David growled at him. That was a low blow and they both knew it, but two frustrated alphas were dangerous at times. This was not the time, not if they wanted to keep their mates.

"You behave yourself James," The tension between them was palpable, at least until the door to the house opened. Immediately they both felt the wash of calm from their mates. Even if James had yet to see his, he could still feel her presence.

"Hi David!" Sophie blushed as she was pushed out of the house first and her eyes landed upon her very, very, very sexy boyfriend. Breathing was something she forgot how to do, and it was hard enough in a corset, but... a kilt, did he want to kill her? "You... You dressed up..."

"You look beautiful Sophie," David uttered, walking up to her with long strides. She was such a demon, tormenting him like this. She couldn't seriously be planning to go out like that, could she? He'd never seen a sexier, more delectable, enchanting woman in his life. He wanted her all to himself, and as he wrapped his arms around her waist, felt her tremble as he pulled her against him he nearly howled his pride in his mate.

Sophie lost all sense as she was kissed deeply, possessively. David eminated an aura she was unused to, it was almost as if he was a prowling beast, barely contained within his body. More powerful than she could ever comprehend; heat pooled low in her body, and she responded to him more fiercely than either expected.

"Woo... Damn girl, if that's how he says hello where he's from sign me up for an exchange program." Sophie gasped and pulled away from David quickly, turning to meet an amused Alexa.

"Uh... um..." She blushed dark, felt faint in the constraints of the corset, and stood a safe distance away from David. "Um, Lex... meet David... my... um..."

"Hello, I'm her boyfriend," David smiled, trying to work his way through the frustration that left his body torn and ragged. He walked up to his cousin's mate, and even though she paled in comparison to his Sophie, at least to him, he knew she was everything James had ever wished for. "David Bishop."

"I'm Alexa Bennett, nice to finally meet you." They shook hands, and Alexa approved greatly of the man. Something about him, the way he kept looking back at Sophie and didn't stray quite too far set her at ease for her friend.

"And, I'd like the both of you to meet my cousin." David turned slightly, and James was finally allowed a clear view of his mate. He'd tried not to appear weird or creepy. He knew when she'd stepped out of the house, he caught her strong scent on the breeze. While she had her own softness, what went to his cock first was the passion, spice, fire. She was a rose with the strongest and sharpest of thorns.

His angel was a vision in her skirts hitched up to allow him peaks of her creamy thigh, the red corset she wore, made his mouth water. Really, he started walking to her with all the intention of grabbing her and stealing her away. When her eyes landed upon him he felt it, he knew that she could feel their connection. The way she stood changed, she was offering herself to him whether she knew it or not, and he would take her dammit.

David noticed the ferocity in his cousin's gaze, hell he himself had that same look sometimes, but he could control himself. James, well he was wild. He tried to step in his path, grab him enough to knock some sense back into him, but really, fate was just too funny sometimes. He felt another presense breeze by him, it was familiar, one of the ones that usually hung around Sophie. His eyes widened when James went face first into the grass.

"HA!" He couldn't help his outburst, and wrapped his arms around himself, trying to contain the laughter. He was joined by Alexa, who doubled over, their intimate connection severed by that one "clumsy" step.

"That's not nice!" Sophie was the only one who ran to assist him, Jamie couldn't help blushing. It was a bad habit he had and he hated it, but there was nothing he could do to make it go away.

"Thanks," He mumbled bashfully to Sophie as she helped him up. She smiled kindly.

"No problem, I'm Sophie." He nodded and shook her hand when she offered it.

"I remember you from the bookstore, looks like you returned the favor from that day." Sophie widened her eyes and blushed faintly.

"Oh! I remember you! Oh... So, you're cousins... Ah... I can see the resemblance." She smiled softly, and pointed to her calming down friend, "That's Lex." James nodded, and couldn't help blushing daker when his blond torturess smiled up at him.

"God, you're gorgeous!" She blurted out, and practically pounced on him. His hair was silky and soft, most of it braided down his back and she pushed the shorter red locks out of his face. She squealed when he turned redder than she thought possible, and it brought out his green eyes even more.

"Uh... Sorry, she does that sometimes..." Sophie winced from the loud, shrill sound. But it seemed the boys were more affected by it than her, both of them cussing softly and holding their ears.

"What? Are you guys senstivie to sounds or something?" Lex frowned at them, her hands on her hips. "I can't help it when I see something that cute." She pointed at him for more emphasis, "He's fucking adorable. All sexy, and big and then blushing, really?" David laughed and pat his cousin on his back, finally, finally the fates really aranged the most awesome situation for him.

"Ladies, this 'fucking adorable', if I may qoute you Alexa, man, is my cousin, best friend, and attempted murderer," He grinned at Sophie when her eyes widened in remembering the story he told her, "James Gardner, just call him Jamie though." Jamie sighed, it took all his control not to bite David's hand, but hell his mate already liked him. That had to count for something.

"It's been a pleasure to meet you and make such a lasting first impression." He bowed and winced when another squeal was emitted by his mate.

"You are so cute!"

"...This is going to be an interesting day." David grimaced, and Jamie nodded... An interesting day indeed.
