"Come here."
Finn didn't need to be asked twice, nor did he question Alex' sudden change of heart- a fault of his yet again. Maybe it was the hypnotizing way her hips moved as she under dressed, rendering him thoughtless. In a right state of mind, he would have questioned if Alex' charade was all for show. But that's how Finn was... Oblivious once he got what he wanted.
"Touch me."
Alex let him touch her body, pulling her close to his. He yanked her by the hair, pulling her down as he devoured her lips in a hungry kiss. His lips later traveled down her neck as he spun her around, pressing himself against her ass. He squeezed his grip around her hips as he fought the urge of release before they even started.
But as Finn grazed at her back with his teeth, Alex stared into the darkness of the room, holding it together as she mentally repeated her and Natalya's conversation from earlier.
"You'll have him practically eating out of your hand," Natalya whispered pinning the last of Alex' hair into an intricate up do- the last and final touches being applied in time for a meet and greet with Phil and Finn's business members. Finn wanted Alex looking her best as he wanted to show her off- instilling the beautiful girl at his side was his.
"I can't do it... Not again."
"It needs to be this way... If it was so easy last time, what makes you think it won't be this time around? You said it yourself, Alex. Now you have to act on it."
"Last time this shit almost got me killed... He's going to see right through me. He's not stupid."
"But he's blind and you have to keep him that way. You need him to believe you want to be here and that you want him. No more crying, no more isolating yourself. If you can make him trust you, he'll bring you to Florida for the meet... We can escape from Florida, Alex. Just trust me."
So she went downstairs soon after with Natalya. The two wore short, skin tight black dresses- Alex wearing a cropped and fitted leather blazer, the front draped over her bump. Once Finn saw her, he nearly jumped out of his skin. She looked so good... She looked just like the first time he saw her- dark and sexy, so desirable. Those pouty lips accented in the darkest, blood red lipstick he wanted all over himself. He was at a loss of words. He even stumbled over his words in front of his new business partner, Natalya nodding to Alex. "So far so good," she mouthed.
Alex hated to admit Natalya was right. She needed to play with Finn's mind. It was the one thing that worked before and if she could back her sudden interest with sex appeal, it'd only make her time in the house easier. Finn would begin putting his trust in her. He wouldn't constantly keep a close eye on her every move. Natalya's plan included the two contacting Jon once they came across a cell phone, before Florida. But they were hard to come by in a house full of criminals sheltering their women from any outside contact.
But it was a lot easier luring Finn away from the meeting- just the beginning of the plan.
From where Finn sat at the table, he could see Alex leaning against the door way- staring right at him. He was the only one that could see the things she was doing- letting her fingers brush open her blazer, exposing just how low cut her dress actually was. He followed every movement, feeling himself harden with excitement. She knew that dark, lustful look in his eyes way to well and added to it by licking her lips before placing her finger between her teeth, biting gently.
"Excuse me," Finn mumbled, bringing his drink with him as he approached Alex. He pulled her by the hand, leading her to an empty bedroom and locked the door behind them.
"What was that?" He whispered, with his back pressed against the door. She hesitated for a second but then Natalya's voice reminded her again.
"Seduce him."
"A distraction," she purred, putting all her effort into being as sexy as possible. "I wanted to see you."
"Oh really?"
She nodded, letting her hands explore his chest, right down to between his legs. He hissed as she gently grabbed a hold of him, working her hand to the point Finn found himself reach the brink of insanity.
And it was exactly what she wanted and what needed to be done until the time came for the rest of Natalya's plan to unfold.

Jon sat on the floor of his living room, a bottle of whiskey in one hand and his head in another. He was a mess.
Actually, he was a broken man oppose to a mess.
Alex was gone without a trace. No sightings, no images from security cameras around the areas found. For once in his life and career he stood at a standstill without any idea where to turn next. It was so out of tune as he was great at his job- making arrests and sense of huge drug schemes virtually out of nothing.
It made him angry that he had no leeds as to where she could be. He was supposed to be the best on the force, sought after by Hunter and every one of his co-workers. He felt like a failure, unable to bring his pregnant, soon to be wife home.
That was the very thought that made his flinch, throwing the bottle of whiskey across the room in an explosive rage. His blood boiled and head spun as he clawed at his head. He went to stand to his feet but he collapsed to his knees, his breathing shortening.
For the first time in his life he experienced a panic attack. It was hard to breathe like he was doing so through a blocked straw. He sucked in as much air as he could to the point he was gasping. He struggled to his feet, lunging for the door.
Outside he fell to the ground again, gasping until he could finally breath again. "Fuck sakes," he muttered, out of breath with tears in his eyes, wanting the nightmare to end.
There was ruffling in the bush beside the house, just outside the living room window which made him jump to his feet, his panic subsiding. "Who's there?" He shouted, approaching with caution. He went to grab for his gun, realizing it missing.
"Damn it."
Whoever it was, they were in for an ass beating and lucky as hell he was unarmed. "Who's there?" He repeated, closer and closer to the bush.
As he was about to pull the beaches across to inspect, something darted past, knocking him on his ass. But he got to his feet quickly, running after the dark figure bolting down the street away from his house.
"Hey!" He shouted, sprinting, trying to catch whoever ran from him. Just when he thought the chase hopeless, a car turned onto the street- the culprit swerving out of the way only to land in a ditch.
Jon was able to easily catch up, pouncing in the ditch too. "Give me your hands!" He roared, clawing at the hooded person. He tried to flee but Jon pinned him down, shocked at who it was once he got a good look at his face.
"Colby?" He asked in disbelieve but soon turned sour. "Did you take her? Did you take Alex?"
Colby shoved Jon off, standing to his feet with his gun pointed. "Where is she?"
"I asked you," Jon spat, "Doesn't that tell you something?"
"She's gone?" Colby mumbled, dropping his gun. She was gone- his intuition right all along.
Jon let go of Colby, leaving him in the ditch as he dragged himself back down the road. "I saw her the other day," Colby started, picking himself up, "But that was the last time I saw her."
"You saw her?"
"Yeah I did... I needed to. Why did you keep her in the dark, Jon?"
"Because of shit like this. Now she's gone! And you know damn well who took her."
"Yeah, I do." Colby staggered down the road, in the opposite direction back to his car.
"Where are you going?"
"Someone's gotta find her," he shouted back. "I plan on doing just that."
Then it clicked. Maybe, just maybe and somehow Colby could help. He found her just a couple of days ago and he could do it again. Maybe Colby still had ties to people close to Finn... The could work together and Jon could pardon every charge in exchange for his help.
"I'll make you a deal," Jon shouted, stopping Colby dead in his tracks. He was interested but skeptical since a so called deal came from an enemy.
"What are you talking about?"
"You work with me. You help me find her and I'll forget the past... Everything'll be wiped clean, forgotten."
It was a pretty great sounding trade off... But either way, he'd go on and find Alex no matter what.
"I don't need any bribes," Colby clarified, "I just want to find her and rip Balor to shreds, once and for all."
"Get in line," Jon seethed. "So, we got a deal?"
Colby nodded, walking back to where Jon stood- accepting a deal with the devil. "Yeah... I'll do anything to get her back home."

"Who is that girl with Finn? I've never see him with anybody other than Bray and Braun," Sasha asked Phil who sat across from her and Naomi. The three of them were the only ones left at the table- the others leaving as the deal went through. But Sasha stayed behind on an inkling she had after seeing the mysterious girl by Finn's side the entire night.
"That is Alexandra."
Alexandra...
Sasha knew that name quite well. She heard Colby talk about someone named Alexandra before. Now she wondered if this mysterious new comer happened to be the same girl.
"And she's with Finn?" She asked.
"Yep... Snatched her up when he was over in Ohio all this time. Brought her back here and now their living like one big happy family."
The same Alexandra Colby had talked about lived in Ohio as well... Cincinnati to be exact.
"She's pregnant," Naomi pointed out, "Guess Finn will have an heir soon?"
Phil laughed, shaking his head at the thought. "Guess so... Let's just hope the kid isn't as much of an asshole as Balor... I can only deal with one of 'em and Finn's more than enough."
"Will she be joining us in Florida?" Sasha questioned, feeling like she needed to feel out every detail there was to know.
"That's up to Finn," Phil shrugged, "I guess we'll see next week."
Sasha nodded but she was confused as ever. None of it made any sense... If Alex had a perfectly pieced together life with the DEA agent that was Jon after the horrors of a year ago, what the hell was she doing in this house, stuck to Finn's side like she belonged there?
