Chapter Three: King's To Albert
"The Count of Monte Cristo and his niece the Lady of Monte Cristo." The announcer said. The Count and Lady entered the house. The Count had on his red velvet cape, along with his matching vest and pants. Claudia wore an emerald green silk dress, the neckline was low, the sleeves stopped just below her elbow. She had on gloves that matched and reached an inch past the elbow. She wore a pearl necklace, and her hair was in a lose bun, she had ringlets of hair curled around her face. She smiled as she saw Albert hurry over to them. He stood in awe of her, she could tell by his facial expression. She was surprised that when she felt her cheeks become hot from her blushing.
Albert bowed to the two, his face gracing them with a smile. "I am so delighted you could come." He suddenly took hold of Claudia's arm, and wrapped it around his, as they walked. "You must meet my Father." He smiled.
The three walked to Count Mondego, he had light brown hair. He was rather attractive, but the air that surrounded him made Claudia shudder. She saw him eye her from the bottom up, when his eyes met hers she gave him a falsely sweet smile.
"Father, I'd like you to meet the Count of Monte Cristo," Albert gestured to Zatara, and Mondego and the Count shook hands. Then Albert gestured proudly to Claudia "and his niece the Lady of Monte Cristo." Claudia's hand was taken by Mondego's and he gave it a kiss, his eyes glued to her. She didn't like the glint in his eye; it was one she had seen many times before. But none of them had disturbed her as much as his, it was one of passion.
"A pleasure mademoiselle." Mondago smiled at her, he called over to his wife. Claudia was astounded by her beauty; she could see how it must have hurt Zatara to see the two together.
The woman's eyes were filled with gratitude, and she gave a bow to Zatara. "I cannot express in words how much you have done for me." She told the Count.
When Albert introduced her to Claudia the woman gave her a smile. "My son has said many things about you." The Countess smiled.
"All lies I'm sure." Claudia returned a smile, and gave a quick glance to Albert who was trying hard not to blush. Albert then took Claudia away from his parents and the count to introduce her to his friends, his arm around her waist the whole time he introduced her. She received some rude stares from the other females her age that obviously had crushes on Albert. She couldn't help but smile.
"Albert I think you are causing jealously among the ladies." Claudia interrupted his conversation with a few of his friends.
Albert turned to Claudia in confusion. "I do not understand?"
A sly smile crossed her face "Look to my right, but do not be obvious."
Albert did so, and noticed a few young women staring at Claudia with rude expressions on their faces. An amused smile crossed his lips. "They do not seem to like you." He told her.
Claudia put on a false innocent expression "Whatever for, we have not done anything that would require jealously." She said, while her expression was one of innocence, her tone was seductive and sly.
Albert's eyes widen, as well did his friends who laughed when they heard her reply. "Maybe it is my arm." Albert replied. He was a bit embarrassed.
Claudia smiled "But it is not low in placement, maybe you should lower it." She whispered in his ear, making his eyes widen the more. She loved playing naughty, but for some reason unknown to her, she wanted him to lower his hand. The realization had finally hit her smack in the face. She had feelings for this young man. ^^This cannot be happening! Me? Claudia, the renowned temptress falling for her own prey. ^^ She pushed the thought aside, and came back to the task at hand.
"Well, Albert make the woman happy." One of his friends said playfully. Albert glared at the young boy. Yes, Albert did have feelings for this girl but he did not want to rush things. Also he was a bit unnerved that she was related to the Count making her high on the list of woman not to mess around with. It was true Albert was not a fool to the ways of a woman and man. He had been with many women before, but none that he had felt so much feeling for.
Albert looked Claudia in the eye, "Why don't we dance? The toast will be in a few minutes, we would not want to be late."
Claudia nodded, and the two moved to the dance floor. Claudia noticed that Zatara and Albert's mother were dancing. She wondered what was being said between the two, but that was the least of her ponderings. She wanted to know how she had become to feel this way for this boy. Why did she feel so strongly for him? She was brought out of her thoughts when the announcer told everyone to be seated. Claudia and Albert walked to the table together, he pulled out her chair, and she sat. He was seated at the end of the table. She noticed that the Count Mondago wasn't seated, when Albert's mother tapped her glass with her knife. Sympathy ran through Claudia when she saw the hurt on Albert's face, so she clasped his hand under the table. He turned to her, and she smiled at him. Suddenly she heard the Count's voice, and Albert's attention turned to the Count. Claudia couldn't help but smile as he gave the speech about Albert in the catacombs of Rome. When the Count finished she saw Zatara smile at the Countess, and Zatara twirl his hair, his nasty habit. Claudia and Jacopo were always telling him to stop or his hair would fall out, but he never broke the habit.

Dinner was over and the count had left for a 'business' appointment. Claudia had decided to stay at the party, and have one of Albert's coachmen take her home. The birthday boy and the temptress where walking in the garden hand in hand. They had walked to a bench, and sat down. Claudia sniffed the night air, and smiled. This was her favorite time to be outside, when it was dark and silent.
Albert watched the girl examine the night with a smile on his face. "Do you like the garden?" he asked her.
She turned to meet his face and nodded, a serious expression crossed her features. Albert noticed her change of expression and put his hand on her cheek, caressing it with his thumb. She leaned into his touch "Albert we-" But she was unable to finish her sentence, warm soft lips stroked her own. Her eyes closed, and she kissed him back, her tongue found its way in, and caressed his. She felt his body press against hers, a gasped escaped her lips. She felt his hands travel under her dress and up her legs, and into her. She moaned at the gesture, and began to kiss his neck passionately, she felt his hand move in deeper, and his lips caress hers. She couldn't believe what was happening, he had initiated the first move, usually she did, but this was the first time in her entire life that someone had given her pleasure. He continued to move his hand in further, until she gave a small cry, his eyes locked in with hers. He could see the surprise in her eyes, and the bliss. She felt his hand inside her, when in began to move up and down, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on his back, and the once soft moans turned louder. To quite her, he covered her mouth with his. Slowly Claudia moved her hands to his belt buckle; she undid it and placed her hand around his excitement. She began to squeeze lightly at first, but as she felt his hand move quicker adding to her excitement, her grasp tightened. She heard the delight she gave him by his sounds. But surprisingly he didn't stop satisfying her. When they both reached the climax to their bliss the two relaxed; their bodies still next to another.
He kissed her neck, "I think it would be best if you leave before we do anything that we would regret." He told her, he didn't want to push her too far.
"I would never regret anything." She replied and kissed him. When their lips parted she smiled "I suppose we now deserve those girls jealousy."
Albert gave a small laugh and nodded. "That is true."
"Jealous about what?" a man's voice asked. The two quickly turned to see the invader of their privacy. It was Count Mondego, a frown crossed Claudia's face. The man walked toward the two, he eyed them knowingly. Claudia held her head high, and Albert acted as if his father had no clue what had went on. But, his father had been watching the two for quiet some time.
"Of this lovely garden." Claudia gestured to the nature around her. She was standing, and walking to the gates, Albert was by her side.
"I am sure." Mondego replied with a sly smile. He again looked the young woman up and down, and this time Albert noticed.
"Father?!"Albert gave a disgusted look, his father ignored him.
Claudia pulled something from her handbag. She smiled slightly, the figure of a chess piece glowed in the moonlight. It was not just any piece, it was the king. Claudia took Albert's hand and placed the piece into his hand. "King's to you Albert." She smiled.
Mondego looked at the girl, what she had just done was something he used to do with his old friend Edmond. Mondego cocked an eyebrow. Claudia noticed the man's suspicion. She smiled, and opened the iron gate and exited the garden. One of the Mondego coaches was waiting. She stepped into the coach, and yelled to the driver her destination. As the carriage rode away, the two Mondegos stood in shock; one from pleasure, and the other in suspicion.
