Chapter 21: What Went Wrong?

Jean began teasing his mouth with her lips once again, silently asking for him to give her what she wants. Josef groaned into her mouth, opening his to devour hers letting go of his little self control, she knew and wanted it. Then it hit him, who had she been talking too, what did they tell her?

"Jean," Josef pulled back pushing on her shoulder to keep her from coming with him.

Jean let out of frustrated grunt but was not detoured; she reached for the hem of her shirt pulling it over her head exposing her simple crème colored lace. Josef's hands went to cup and massage her breasts his lips finding hers once more, his tongue moving into her mouth coaxing a moan from her.

"Who did you talk to Jean?" He moved his kisses to her neck. "What did they tell you?"

Jean was tired of all these questions; she wanted him inside of her. Her hands worked their way to his pants. Josef moved his hands from her breasts to pull her hands away, "Jean."

Jean whimpered, Josef grunted at the tightness in his pants. He began pushing her back against the arm of the couch his hands moving to unbutton and unzip her jeans. Jean lifted to help him pull them off.

Josef leaned down placing kisses to her stomach, "Jean, tell me." He stopped all movement sitting back to look at her in her bra and panties.

Wanting to feel him touch her she reached for him. He sat back father out of reach his mind and his erection not on the same page. Jean leaned back "Beth, I talked to Beth now please Josef."

Josef quirked and eyebrow at her and knew if she had talked to Beth, she would have explained things for her. No longer concerned that she didn't know enough to make an informed decision Josef stood from the couch and shed his clothes in vamp speed. Jean watched as he stood before her in all his naked glory. She had felt him before but had not seen him, seen all that was Josef, her eyes roaming over every inch of him.

Josef smiled his cocky smile as he lowered himself back down to her; she was stropped of her remaining lace quickly. Leaning down he took one of her breasts into his mouth pulling it gently scraping his fangs across it, Jean began to pant at the sensation pulling his head closer. Nudging her legs further apart Josef positioned himself between them, his hard tip at her opening, in one fast thrust he was inside her. Jean arched up off the couch into his mouth, while driving him deeper.

After the police had taken their statements, and EMS had cleared them to go Mick and Morgan started back towards his car. She had barley spoke twenty words since the police arrived.

"Do you have someplace to go?" Mick asked as he turned her towards him, she was shivering.

Mick took off his coat and draped it around her shoulders.

"Thank you," she snuggled into it pulling it closed. "Do you think the man following me tried to kill me?"

"I don't know, it would make sense," Mick sighed. "Is there any place I can take you?"

Morgan shook her head, "I don't have anywhere else to go. My place is a crime scene."

"You should get cleaned up and get some rest."

"Can we go to your office or someplace for a little while I don't think I can be alone?"

She looked up at him with those sad brown eyes. Mick helped her into his car and they made their way to his office. Mick remembered Beth leaving for work and mentioning something about being later, a doctor's appointment first. He couldn't let her be alone right now, someone had tried to kill her, and he was supposed to be protecting her. He needed to explain to Beth about his case and how she looked like his ex; maybe seeing her and how scared she was she could see this couldn't be her.

Mick could feel his hunger rising the day taking more out of him than he had realized. She needed to get cleaned up and he needed blood. When they got to the building it was as he suspected Beth was gone, Morgan kept walking absent minded towards his office door.

"Why don't you come in here and get cleaned up? Then you can decide where you want to go."

"Thank you Mick." Morgan walked past him into his apartment. "Nice place." Walking to a picture of him and Beth she picked it up, frowning at the image she turned it over.

"The bathroom is up here…"

Mick showed her to the bathroom leaving her towels and a robe she could use while her clothes were in the washer. After he heard the water cut on Mick raced down stairs using the smaller guest bathroom that was almost never used and in vamp speed cleaned himself up.

Forgoing getting dressed for the time being he needed blood, he needed to have that finished while she was still in the shower. Listening he could still hear the water hitting her body, as he made his way to his hidden fridge and poured himself a tall glass of A+ and finishing off 3 more straight away. His hunger satisfied Mick heard his phone chime with a message and he made his way over and found it. It had been in his inside jacket pocket all along.

He listened to the message from Josef, he sounded upset. He quickly called his friend back.

Jean was withering against him as he pushed deep inside her. His mouth on hers, one arm supporting his weight the other pulling her hips harder into him as she uttered words of delight, "Yes Josef, oh yes."

Josef felt her getting close, and he was close his mouth watering at the anticipation of her blood, her blood laced with her orgasm. Listening to her heart beat he was going to time it just right too bring her the maximum amount of pleasure.

As his lips trailed the column of her throat, her breaths coming in pants the ringing of his cell phone broke through her sounds of pleasure. Josef stopped his thrusting his head going up, listening to the ring, it was Mick's ringer.

"Damn it," Josef cursed.

Jean looked at him with confused eyes, wondering why he had stopped, why he was upset.

Josef leaned in and kissed her forehead, "I'm so sorry, damn it I'm sorry."

Josef withdrew himself from her wet warmth and her embrace; making it to his phone on his desk he flipped it open.

"Damn it Mick, you have the worst possible timing," Josef looked back at Jean who had reached for the closet thing to cover herself with, his shirt.

"I got your message, it sounded urgent."

"It is urgent or I would never have answered the phone," he made sure his voice was loud enough for Jean to hear, hoping it would sooth her. "How could you be so blind?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Letting Coraline play you for a fool."

"Josef I don't know what you're talking about. Coraline is—"

"Morgan Vincent." Silence. "Mick Morgan is Coraline."

"I thought so at first but she can't be, she is human… shes different."

"Mick I can't explain on the phone but it is Coraline, trust me on that. She is human now yes but she is Coraline, one and the same. I don't have all the answers yet but Mick you need to stay away from her before she can play with your head."

"There's…a…cure." Mick managed to sputter out the words. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. There was a cure, he hadn't been losing his mind it really was Coraline, and there was a cure.

"Mick do you hear me? Come by my place tomorrow and I will tell you everything I know."

"I have to go."

The line went dead before he could say anything else. Josef made his way back towards Jean; she was wearing his shirt with her feet curled under her, her hands pulling the shirt closed. He sat down next to her trying to find a way to apologize for that, he could stake Mick for his timing.

"I'm so sorry Jean," Josef took her hand.

Jean looked up at him seeing the truth of his words on his face, "I guess that's part of sex with vampires Beth left out. Phones ringing is an off switch," she gave a small smile.

Josef cupped her face in his hands, "That has nothing to do with it. If it had been anyone else I would never have answered but I needed to warn Mick. He's like a brother to me and I had to warn him, he just happens to have atrocious timing in returning phone calls."

"Is he okay?" A look of concern crossed her face.

"I hope so. He has been warned now it's in his hands, nothing more I can do right now." Josef leaned in and kissed her lips softly.

"There is nothing more you can do for him now?"

"Nope."

Jean smiled and blushed as she pulled his shirt from her shoulders, "Then I think its time you finish what you had started."

Mick stared blankly at his phone, trying to process everything Josef had just told him and what he had seen around Morgan…Coraline. Mick went to grab himself another glass of blood hoping to clear the haze that was now his mind. As he finished the glass he stood there staring off into space replaying every moment he has been with Morgan, his past with Coraline, his staking her and leaving her to burn to death.

Next thing he knew small hands were wrapped around his chest, head pressed into his back.

Mick turned pushing her away from him; she was still wet from her shower, wearing a towel.

"Coraline." It was more of an accusation than a question.

"Oh Mick I've missed you." Coraline moved closer reaching her lips up towards his.

Mick stepped back pushing her away, "How is this possible? You're human."

Coraline grinned her evil grin, "I thought you would notice."

"How?"

"There is a cure Mick."

Mick grabbed her forcefully pulling her closer shaking her almost violently, a look of complete happiness on his face, his eyes lit up with hope. Thoughts of being human and being with Beth filled his mind, he could take her to the beach, take her out to eat and enjoy the meal with her, they wouldn't have to sleep apart ever again, they could grow old together, have a normal life. His chest was heaving at the thought of having his life back.

Coraline could see she was losing his focus she released her towel letting it pool to the floor at her feet, he still had not noticed. He was so caught in his daze he didn't hear the elevator doors open, but she had. Waiting for just the moment she heard the door click Coraline pressed her body against his, pulling his mouth her hers, her hands in his hair his arms still holding her arms.

The happy thoughts in his mind shattered like the bottle of Don Perrion against the hard floor. The realization of what had just happened; Coraline was now without her towel, kissing him, Beth's heart breaking, and her leaving.
