Into the Frying Pan

Kyra POV

For the life of me, I couldn't get the ringing in my ears to stop. Hugo was standing next to me with the same vacant expression he had been wearing earlier. Nothing seemed to faze this guy. We were about to enter into the lion's den, and he looked as if he was bored. I on the other hand was scared shitless. The rest of the basterds had dropped us off at the outskirts of the town. Utivitch and Omar crept ahead of us into the darkness, keeping low around the bushes and fences. I tried to track their movements as far as I could, but they seemed to almost fade into the blackness of the night. Sneaky little bastards, I thought as we started on our way. I didn't know where Donny had gone, and frankly I didn't care. He was the least of my worries right now. Somehow I had to convince German citizens that I was a German officer's woman. I looked over at Hugo as we began making our way to our destination, which seemed to be a ways off. He kept making glances at me, yet wouldn't make eye contact. Every time I went to say something or ask him a question, he would either tell me to be quiet or not say anything at all.

So it went like this for about 15 minutes or so, before I got fed up with it and jerked him to a stop. "You need to stop treating me this way Hugo. You have no reason to not trust me. " He continued to stare blankly at me, and then raised his hand. At first I thought he was going to hit me, but then he smoothed my hair out of my face. "I have been surveying our surroundings my dear. Forgive me if I'm not paying full attention to you." He straightened his uniform and kept walking. I stood there for a minute, feeling stupid. I had utterly forgotten we were on a mission. I was acting like a silly schoolgirl who couldn't get the head jocks attention. I cleared my head of my thoughts and darted after him. I grabbed his arm yet again and slowed him down. "If we are to be a couple we need to sort of act like one. This whole business of you walking ahead of me and not talking is going to throw it off, and possibly give us up." He looked at me and nodded. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled me against him. "Better?" He asked sarcastically; I could only nod, for he was holding me very tightly. As we walked I couldn't help but study him. He was a very sturdy man with broad shoulders and long muscular arms. His hair was a sandy brown, and his eyes, as expressionless as they were, had a strange shade of blue to them. It was mesmerizing. What am I doing? I mentally slapped myself; I couldn't be having these thoughts. It was Donny I wanted, not him….right?

Hugo POV

What the hell did Donowitz see in her? Besides her unmistakable beauty, she was very outgoing and downright annoying. These were not qualities I admired too much in a woman. Women were supposed to be silent until spoken to, and be feminine and dainty; and this woman was neither. I could hardly call her a woman, she didn't look old or grown up at all. She had made sure not to give her age to Raine the first time he asked, and it made me suspicious. She kept looking at me, with a confused expression, and it was beginning to unnerve me. It was as though she was inspecting me. I continued to hold her tightly to me, and tried not to think about it. I was on a mission and out for Nazi Blood. She would have to get out of my way, and let me do my job!

Kyra POV.

The silence between us was horrible! I was relieved when we finally made it to the ball. We stopped just outside the lighting, and he turned to me. "Let's get this over with shall we?" he said as I straightened my dress. I nodded and took his outstretched hand, feeling a bit sick as he began to lead me over the crowd of people gathering in the front lawn of the grand house. Immediately I felt women eyes on me, for I was wearing a very suggestive dress. I could only imagine what was going through their minds. I ignored the stares and put on my best act. All I had to do was to be silent and not say anything. Stigliz would do the talking, and I was fine with that. Aldo said I just needed to look sultry, and I was going to make damn sure, I did that.

The lawn was decorated with Nazi propaganda, flags and banners. Men paraded around in their uniforms and women ran after them as though mesmerized. Many of the men looked at as though undressing me with their eyes. I instinctively leaned against Stiglitz, who had stopped to introduce me to a few gentlemen nearest us. "And this is my lovely mistress Diana" I caught the last bit of the convo, for I was too busy looking around. I whipped my head back around to look into the eyes of the ugliest man alive. Stiglitz had nudged me softly, and I curtsied and smiled sweetly. We moved on making small talk till Hugo finally pulled me away into a hallway. He pointed to the man we had just walked away from. "That was Joseph Goebbels. He is second in command in Hitler's little Army. You need to get him away from his mistress and seduce him. Can you do it?" He looked into my eyes as he said it. He could tell I was scared, so he grabbed my shoulders. "I won't be far behind. As soon as the situation gets hairy, I will be there to get you out." I shook my head franticly as he explained all of this to me. This was some heavy shit, and I was about to get deeper into it.

Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw two Gestapo Majors walking towards us. I couldn't make out their facial features but they seemed to be about the same age as Hugo. What was his age anyway? Why was I even wondering about this? This was not the time. They could easily fuck up our plans. They pointed at Hugo; they seemed to want to talk to him. Knowing his hatred for them, I did the only thing I could think of. I was a woman after all. I grabbed him and pulled him against me. I wrapped my leg around his waist and planted my lips on his. He didn't react at first, and I could feel him tense up. I leaned my head down by his ear, "there are two Gestapo majors walking over here, and they seem very interested in you. Kiss me back if you want them to go away. I am your mistress, so let's give them a show." He seemed to take the hint and pushed me up against the wall. His hand grabbed my raised leg and held me to him as he kissed me hard. His kiss wasn't soft or pleading like Donny's. It was hard, and brutal, as though he was trying to suck the air from my lungs. The thought of it turned me on slightly, and I almost forgot we were in public. He released my lips and brought his head down to my neck. He had his head turned so he could see the majors, who had stopped a few feet from us and were now pointing at us and chuckling to each other. "We need to get them to leave" Hugo said as he planted kisses near my ear. I didn't seem to hear him, for the sensation he was causing me to feel was crippling.

Hugo POV

I could feel her body radiating heat onto me. I could tell she was a very sexual woman, well girl. She had seemed to forget about the ball, and was arching he breast against my chest. Damn this woman was in heat! So I decided to play it up a little bit more for my benefit. The thought of Donny getting jealous was too awesome to pass up. So I yanked her behind a corner and thrust my hands against her ass. I knew Donny and the others were watching our every move. Donny must be pissed, serves him right. He needed to figure his shit out with this woman if he wanted her, so a little competition might be good for him. She moaned and leaned her head back against the wall. She hit it a little harder than expected and it seemed to wake her up. Her eyes flew open and she pushed me away, flustered. "What are you doing?" she asked as she tried to regain her composure. I only gave her one of my blank looks and nodded my head towards the sound of the party. I walked away from her before turning around. "You wanted to give them a show and it worked. Now go do what you need to do, and remember I'll be around even if you can't see me. As you know Aldo and the rest of them have been watching us since we got here; one wrong move and your dead." With this, I parted, leaving her speechless.

Donny POV

That Bastard! I watched as Hugo ran his hands all over her. I was getting angrier by the second. He knew that was mine! How dare he touch her? I could feel myself getting red; all the men in the camp including Aldo knew that she and I were having sexual tension. She would coil away from me every time I tried to touch her, and she melts in his arms just like that! I am going to kill him when I get the chance. Fellow soldier or not, he had crossed the line. But this was not the time and place to get angry. I had lost sight of Kyra and this bothered me. Where the hell had she gone? Suddenly Aldo appeared next to me followed by the bastard himself. Hugo seemed to ignore me, and began explaining the situation. "The girl is about to go and seduce him. We need to follow and mark her every move. She is scared and I fear she will have a hard time going through with this." Aldo nodded before turning to me. "Snap out of it Staff Sgt. Who cares who is touching her right now? If we don't get to her in time a whole bunch of men worse than Stiglitz will he having their way with her. You need to calm down." Was I being that obvious? I guess I was for Hugo and Aldo seemed to see right through me. "She aint yours until you claim her Donny. She is fair game until then." His words seemed to sink in to my skin, making me feel uneasy. Fair game, the words made me sick. Hugo just smirked before following Aldo and the others. It took all I had not to shoot his ass. 'Pull yourself together dammit; we can deal with this later!' I trudged off after them secretly plotting to kick Hugo's ass once we got back to camp.

Kyra POV

I couldn't stop shaking; I could still feel his hands on me. Rough and hard; soldiers hands. And then I thought of the number of men who had died at his hands. The same hands which had made me melt. FUCK! Why was I acting like this? I needed to clear my head where was the bathroom…..I trudged through the crowd not noticing the pair of eyes that leered at me from across the room. I finally found it and darted inside. I went into the farthest stall and sat down on the toilet. I needed to calm my nerves if I was going to go through with this. I was about to stand up when I heard the door open. For some reason this was strange. I heard the sound of boots walking around I quietly pulled myself up onto the toilet so my feet weren't visible. I tried to slow my breathing as the person who the black boots belonged to walked by my stall. He seemed to pause, before turning slightly. I held my breath half expecting him to bust down the door. But for the moment, I seemed to be spared. He turned around and walked back towards the door. I waited till I heard it swing back shut, before I slowly crept out from my hiding place. I looked around hoping I was still alone. I looked at myself in the mirror wished myself luck, and headed out the door. I didn't see the Major, standing silently beside the first stall.

I saw Joseph Goebbels walk away from his mistress, so I took the opportunity to pounce. He walked by me and I slyly snaked my arm through his. He looked at me startled for a moment before smiling and leading me out of the ballroom. He led me down a hallway to the outside gardens in the back. "Such a lovely Fräulein" he said as he slid his hands over my breasts. I tried not so shudder as he leaned forward to kiss me. Suddenly a voice stopped him. "Awww there you are Mr. Goebbels." I looked over to the sound of the voice and my heart froze in my throat. Him….
