Christian POV

I desperately needed an intervention like yesterday. I'd really spoken to quick because there was this dead guy breathing down my fucking neck again! Where were those guys? I thought Mikhail said that they had come.

My back tautened as his cold finger lingered on my Adam's apple. "Would you cut it out already?"

Mikhail chuckled as his finger ran down my bare back. "No, this is surprisingly quite gratifying faggot."

I smirked; maybe this was my chance of escaping. "Hmm, really?"

"Yes…" he trailed off.

I pulled him towards me with my foot. "Maybe you'd like to try something else… something that is extremely pleasurable, even for Strigoi."

"I don't think that is possible Ozera." He rolled his eyes then quickly focused them back on mine.

"Aha," I chuckled, "that is where you are wrong."

He raised his eyebrows, "I am?"

I nodded and cupped his stone hard face. "I could show you…for a price that is."

"A price?" he mused, "And that would happen to be…?"

I pursed my lips and did some exaggerated thinking and traced the outline of his lips. "My freedom."

Mikhail narrowed his eyes, "Only if you prove me wrong."

"Sure," I smiled, "A bargain is a bargain. First…untie me."

He hesitated at first but did it. "Okay, now what?"

I stood up and took charge. "Sit in the chair and close your eyes."

When he did I sat on his lap and ran my hand up his thigh slowly snaking my way to his zipper. He tensed and caught my hand.

"No, no. That was supposed to happen just relax."

Mikhail sighed, "I'm not too sure about this anymore."

I put a finger over his lips, gosh he was so whiny. "Shh…just close your eyes and relax." I kissed him lightly and was careful not to show my disgust. I instantly felt his stature go lax and I started to work at his zipper again.

Adrian POV

Never in my life had I been rejected, well now I knew how it felt because Rose sure took care of that. My mind was reeling from all of the thoughts I was trying to fit in it at once. Rose had rejected me, to be with the dead guy. At least that made two of them now. They could fight the dark forces and creepy shadows together? No that sounded stupid, I just needed a release. My body was telling me to go in there and save Christian while everyone else was temporarily distracted but my conscience was saying that if I went in there, there was a 5 percent chance that I was coming back out alive.

I turned around as I felt a hand on my back, of course it was Rose she was too short to reach my shoulder. "Adrian."

"Hey," I smiled, "what's up?"

But she wasn't smiling, her expression was deftly strict. "I know what you're thinking and the answer is no. We're not letting you go in there."

"Why not Rose?" she was seriously pissing me off now. "It's not like you actually care if I get killed in there. You win okay? You've deflated my ego, and for once in my life I feel like I have no reason live. Can't you just leave me alone now?"

She flinched, and I instantaneously regretted my poor choice of words. "I do care for you Adrian…I actually love you. But you hurt me Adrian, how do you expect me to forget that?"

I was pleading now. "Please try Rose, forgive and forget remember? Do you think I'd throw away all those months of trying to get you to notice me?"

Rose POV

As I stared up into his genuine emerald eyes I knew with my whole heart that I believed him and nothing could jeopardize that but I wouldn't leave Mason.

I sighed, "I don't know Adrian, but this isn't what we need to be worrying about right now. We've been sidetracked enough and now we need to get back on board. We have to save Christian and kill Mikhail."
