CHAPTER 28 – THE PLAY

When Julia opened the door, she smilingly stepped inside the room, and giggled.

"Pete, you areee evil.."

While walking to the bed, she opened her link, and listened Kendall who was saying.

"In thirty seconds, Marshall will began to record. You have to close your link, we'll work from satellite. I think five minutes or so will be enough."

She sighed while turning down the bed. Sark looked at her and she smiled a little. Sark went to change clothes for bed. Sydney heard Kendall's voice in her ear.

"Don't worry, there are only four of us are here. If there's no need, I'll erase the tape."

Sydney smiled into the mirror, aware of Kendall would see her. Kendall replied to her action.

"You're welcome. Remember, this about your mission, you played several men before."

She nodded slightly and noticed that she was nervous. But she couldn't decide why. Was it because Vaughn would be watching? Or was it only because this time she'd play with Sark? To her thoughts, Weiss whispered into her ear.

"He's out for coffee, or to kill himself."

She looked at Sark with the corner of her eye, and Weiss was speaking again.

"You want to seem convincing to the Italian mafia? Well, my advice can sound harsh, but here it is: He's engaged."

With that, she straightened her posture with a quick move becoming Julia once more. Weiss spoke.

"I'm sorry. But your life is much more important to us. We can clear this up when you come back, I promise."

Suddenly, Sydney was angry again. Weiss spoke.

"Time's up, we're on the air. Close your link."

Sydney closed her link, and walked seductively towards to Sark, who was looking through Maria's perfumes. When he felt her presence, he spoke and turned to her.

"I like this one."

Maria smiled, and leaned into his lips.

---------

"Alright Derevko. After four minutes, make up a reason why you need see your daughter this late at night and leave the room. That is the only act we want to see from you in that room."

Irina smirked to that, and Kendall continued.

"I saw that. When you get to their room and bust them, make an embarrassing scene. When we finish recording, you'll discuss the items you need to quickly and get back to your room. Understood?"

Irina sligthly nodded, and looked at Jack. Jack acknowledged the assignment by nodding slightly. Then Jack spoke.

"Want anything to read darling?"

Irina rose from her make-up chair and went towards the bed. While closing her link, she smiled.

"I don't know... I'm not that bored tonight."

Having her near him on the bed, Jack winced a little, and Irina smiled wickedly.

"Something to say?"

Jack laughed a little and smiled.

"Come here."

She obeyed. Knowing his real offer, Irina granted his wish and kissed him. And while holding his hair softly, she closed his link. To that, she felt him smirk, and kissed him again with a smile.

---------

Not expecting the kiss that soon, Sark was startled a little. Smiling, he broke the kiss.

"Darling?"

Maria looked at him behind her eyelashes and pouted slightly.

"What? You got cold feet? You weren't like that earlier."

Sark smirked an evil gleam appearing in his eyes. He knew what she was referring to. She wants to play?

He'd play.

He held her close. When their bodies touched in a tight embrace, he felt her stiffen. Smirking, he spoke.

"Near you? I never get cold."

Sydney looked at him. A moment later, she felt his lips on hers.

---------

When Vaughn returned to the room, he saw Weiss seated at a computer screen watching with an 'o' shaped mouth

"What?"

Weiss startled and turned to him.

"What?"

Vaughn gave him one of the coffees he went to get. While sitting down, he asked.

"What's that interest...Oh God."

Weiss closed his eyes and waited for the explosion.

---------

Sydney felt dizzy. Sark was kissing her like there was no tomorrow. And she was kissing him back.

When she felt her lungs ache for air, she pushed Sark away a little. Feeling his mouth on her neck right below her ear, she heard him whisper.

"Beautiful..."

Suddenly feeling very weak at the knees, she held onto him. Understanding, he tightened his hold on her waist. Kissing her neck, he whispered into her ear, just to make her shiver more.

"Bed, love?"

She was jolted her back to reality with that comment. Feeling him holding her, she felt her heart pounding. Mission. Mission. Just a mission. She looked at him, again noticing her empty lungs, she made her decision.

She nodded.

---------

When she fell backwards onto the bed, he was immediately on top of her. In a second, she forgot all about the mission, the cameras, or why they are doing this.

It was obvious that Sark knew his job—perhaps a little too well. She felt like she was floating away, and the only thing they were doing was kissing!

Gently brushing her hair away from her face, he silently asked her permission. She ended the game. This kiss deserved tongues.

Within seconds, her entire body felt like it was on fire. His hands were everywhere. His mouth was exploring her mouth. It was all she could do to keep from arching her body to his.

On the other hand, Sark was having a heart attack. Being able to have her like this, tasting her, touching her...

He heard a soft moan escape from her throat. He was losing it. He literally tore himself away and watched her. She looked at him, and whispered.

"Wait... a little... breathe..."

Beneath him, flushed and with toussled hair, she was looking absolutely stunning. He cursed her prince charming. Smiling a little, he murmured to her lips.

"Enjoying, love?"

She awoke from her daydream and nodded.

"I always enjoy you, honey."

Sark smirked. As he began softly kissing her, he felt her relax into his kiss. Feeling her warm fingers over his neck, he gave her the right: She could make him beg at anytime.

But holding himself, he ended the kiss in a soft way. Looking into her eyes, he smiled.

"You are amazing."

She smiled.

"I know."

He laughed a little, and stealing a kiss, he spoke.

"Don't I deserve a comment here?"

She giggled a little. Sark felt something he shouldn't have in his stomach.

"Well, you're not bad either, happy now?"

Sark nodded, and feeling more relaxed with her, he asked.

"Should I move?"

"Nu-uh. I'm comfy."

He looked into her eyes to see if that was true. Sensing that it was, he didn't move.

---------

Comfy! Vaughn was close to detonating at any moment. He knew Marshall was scared as hell to be near him, Weiss was waiting for his explosion and Kendall was out of the room. Vaughn pointed out the monitor and spoke.

"Did she say comfy?"

Weiss murmured.

"At least they're not making out anymore. They've stopped Vaughn."

Vaughn turned to him outraged.

"How can you be this calm? They nearly finished it!"

Marshall spoke under his breath.

"They still have their clothes..."

"With Sydney, it takes seconds to get them off!"

Weiss laughed and Vaughn turned to him.

"Do not laugh!"

"But Vaughn-"

"Weiss!" Vaughn warned.

Weiss shut up and Vaughn looked at the monitor. The couple was kissing softly again and murmuring something to each other. They seemed so... so... fitting... and it was disgusting Vaughn.

He looked at the other monitor. Irina suddenly jumped out of bed turned on the light.

---------

"I forgot to give her the pills!"

Jack looked at her questioningly.

"What pills?"

Irina rolled her eyes.

"Birth-control Mario. You know we have to take them everyday."

Jack sighed.

"That's great darling. Share my girl's sex life with me."

Irina laughed a little and grabbed the box off of the nightstand before moving , towards the door. Jack asked.

"You're going to give them to her now?"

Irina nodded and Jack got out of bed with a sigh.

"I'll come with you. You can't go out wearing this."

Setra giggled and left the room with him.
