A/N: Yeah, Achilles & Briesis. yeah it's about time right? Had to keep it clean for the kiddies. Will Hector and Paris find her in time? Read on!
Briseis sat on the edge of the boat looking out at the stars. She sighed as she wished that she was home again. She missed her family. She felt the water get cold around her feet, and got up and went down below. She couldn't see down below, it was dark and there was no light. She stumbled about, and Achilles became aware of her presence. She looked around and something shiny caught her eye. She walked towards it and picked it up. It was his knife. She held the handle and looked at herself in the blade. Her eyes looked back at her. She knew what she had to do. She crept closer to the water bed and quietly got onto it, she sat next to him and felt the warmth of his body next to hers. She held the knife in her hand tightly and pushed it against his throat. She held her breath as she held it firmly.
"Do it" Achilles said as his eyes opened
Blue eyes that would pierce through her. She gasped as he knew. He had known what she had planned before she conceived it in her mind.
"Do it" Achilles said, "Nothing is easier"
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Every man dies, whether it be today or 50 years for now"
Briseis was taken back by his words, he did not fear anything. She felt his strong arms reach up and hold her down.
"If I don't, you'll just hurt me"
"Only if you want me to" his arms were pushing her hand down on the blade
Briseis looked at him unable to respond.
"I don't like to repeat myself. You're hesitating"
And with that Achilles flipped her onto the waterbed and his body was pressing up against hers. She gasped at the closeness, and how his hand reached down and touched her knee and slowly made its way up, pulling the t-shirt she wore up. She held the knife still in her hands, as he leaned down closer for a kiss. Briseis felt herself conflict within, as his hand pulled the shirt up to her shoulder. She felt the cold air on her bare skin and she felt his warm skin push upon hers. He leaned down to kiss her, with the blade still against his throat. Briseis had fought against the men that would have taken her by force, she had fought against the advances of other men, but she couldn't fight Achilles. She heard the knife fall to the floor and felt his skin on hers. She felt his lips on hers, devouring her, his tongue exploring her mouth with urgency. He felt her embrace him, and her hands entangle his hair.
Achilles had opened the package.
Hector and Paris walked into the conference room for the meeting with the Agamemnon brothers. They sat there with their advisors and lawyers while Paris and Hector sat on the other side.
"Let's just get down to business shall we?" Arthur started
"We are not interested in a merger with your company" Hector stated flatly.
"I think you should reconsider" Matthew added, "We think we can come to an agreement"
"We have no interest in joining your company. And that still stands" Paris stated
"Your father is not well that he cannot handle his affairs, perhaps you should wait till your old enough to play with the big boys" Arthur stated
"Why you-" Paris started to get up and Hector stopped him
"There is no need for name calling" Hector said as Paris sat back down.
"We think we have something to bargain with" Arthur said
"Your cousin, what's her name?" Matthew started to say
Hector and Paris looked at each other and realized that they had taken her.
"She spent a year in Africa with the Peace Corps right? How selfless of her. How is she?" Matthew continued
"She's fine" Hector said
"Rumor has it that she was scooped away in the middle of the night" Arthur said with a smile
"What have you done to her!" Paris yelled out
"Nothing….yet. Her fate rests in your hands." Arthur said
"You are a greedy pig! If you have harmed her-" Paris jumped up from where he was sitting down. Hector reached out and grabbed him and pulled him back.
"She is alive for now, but I suggest you rethink the merger" Matthew said
"And don't bother going to the police. You have 24 hours" Arthur said as he walked out of the room with Matthew.
Hector and Paris stood in the boardroom.
"Why did you hold me back!" Paris demanded
"Though strangling Arthur and Mathew would be greatly satisfying it doesn't change the fact that he's take Briseis from us! We must think brother, we cannot fly on impulse. And we cannot let father know"
"What do we do then?"
"We find Briseis, bring her back home and end this madness. We are not joining them, ever!"
The two brothers walked out of the conference room. Paris saw a woman sitting in the waiting area. He gazed upon her and she looked at him and smiled. Mathew walked over to her and grabbed her arm.
"We're going now"
She said nothing but look back at Paris and then follow Mathew into the elevator. Hector started calling people to try to find Briseis.
