Chapter 6
After Kiki's dramatic departure the rumers around the base were that Java was guaranteed the position, so it was no real surprise when Vic turned up at her door the next day grinning at her.
"Java! You got the post!" he said sarcastically injecting enthusiasm into his voice "Isn't that a surprise" he said smirking at her
"Gosh, I am surprised" Java said matching his sarcasm with her own. Vic let out a slight laugh
"You're good," he said to her
"I'm glad you think so" Java replied as she walked up to him and stood so she was looking up at him "So, now I'm one of the three are you going to tell me what's going on?" she asked challenging him slightly
"What's going on?" Vic repeated, all innocence
"The big plan, the scheme, whatever you want to call it, I know you and Ram have something planned for this tribe and I want to know what it is" Java said to him
"I don't know what you mean," Vic said still feigning innocence, enjoying teasing Java
"Oh purlease" Java said rolling her eyes at him. Vic cracked under Java's stare
"Ok, ok" he said as Java grinned and looked smug "So maybe we plan to rule a city, or two"
"Now that," said Java "sounds interesting"
Vic grinned at her; he was really beginning to like this girl.
And that was when the unusual private relationship between Java and Vic was born, they wouldn't have called it a friendship, they didn't have friends, but really it was. It was the last grasp at friendship between two people so far gone in lust for power that they were almost immune to human feelings, almost, not quite.

Java also had a visit that night from Ram. Much later when she was halfway through removing her war paint, he didn't bother knocking, just opened her door and walked in, as if he hoped to find her in a compromising situation. However Java remained unfazed, standing to face him without showing surprise at his sudden entrance, if he wanted to play games she would too.
"Vic told you the news then?" asked Ram as he approached her
"Yeh" said Java sweetly "I was sooooo surprised" she said feigning innocence
"I'm sure you were shocked" Ram said watching her like a tiger about to pounce "Such a pity Kiki was pulled out of the running" he continued giving her a look that made her wonder how much he knew or suspected about her departure, he wasn't stupid, just easy to manipulate.
"It was shock," Java said continuing her wide-eyed innocence
Ram let out a slight chuckle stepping closer to her
"Your not innocent" her said reaching out to stroke her long braids which had been let down and were hanging around her face "Anything but" Java removed his hand from her braids gently but firmly
"Are you implying something?" she asked smiling flirtatiously at him
"Not at all" Ram whispered stepping closer again and looking down at Java. He bent down slowly and kissed her.
She let him kiss her for a few seconds but not letting him have the full run of her mouth as he wanted. His hands ran around to the small of her back and pulled her closer to him. When she decided he had had enough she ran her hands around to where his were on her back and interlaced her fingers with his then pulled his hands gently across the contours of her body letting them drop when they were by his side. Then she ran her fingers seductively up his chest and firmly pushed him away from her. He looked down at her pityingly, as if he thought she couldn't resist him, and began to move his hands back towards her.
Moving like lightening she caught his wrists and applied a slight part of her years of training in the gym onto them. Ram gaped in pain and his eyes snapped to attention, where they had been filled with hazy lust they now watched Java intently.
"I could break your wrists before you could think about it so don't try anything" she hissed at him her eyes filled with malicious pleasure.
"Fine" he said pulling his hands away and holding them up to show he wasn't going to try anything. "But if you didn't want to play why'd you kiss me?" he asked hurt by her casual rejection.
"Fun" grinned Java evilly turning to sit back down at her dresser. Ram was speechless at her casual toyance with his feelings. No girl had ever done that to him before, he had always been superior and in charge. And all it did was make him want her even more.
