A/N: Sorry it's so short. I had about half a brain fart, so that's all I can really come up with at the moment until I do some more organizing of events.

"You're really not going to fight, are you?" said Gen. O'Hara slowly, still goggling at Jae, who shook her head in response.

"No, I am not." she replied simply.

"And why not?" he asked suspiciously. "What have you got planned?"

"Nothing," Jae replied smoothly, "I just figured that while we're in this... situation, I might as well enjoy myself."

Take the bait, take the bait... God, I've been around the colonel too much; I can actually lie now.. thanks a lot, Dad... Oh well, this is all about control anyway...

"Really?" replied Gen. O'Hara with an amused look on his face. "So, even if I tear your clothing again, you won't fight?"

"No, I will not."

"Very well, show me.."

Immediately, the general began to tear at Jae's dress, but before he could get very far, Jae shifted and put her hands on his breaches; Gen. O'Hara ceased his tearing and looked down at her, a low rumbling growl of pleasure escaping him as he felt her hands on him even thorough the material of his clothing.

"You're eager..." he said, half moaning and half sighing in pleasure as Jae unbuttoned his breaches.

"I figured a change in the usual 'routine' might make things more interesting..."

"Because you're eager."

"And you're not?"

"Of course I am! But for the first time, it appears that you are as well." replied the general in between gasps, barely able to contain his growing need.

Jae laughed a low, evil laugh.

Oh yes, I'm eager... eager to gain the upper hand in this perverse battle..

"Jae, your sister needs your notes." said Lady Tavington stepping into Jae's room with Jula.

Jae, who was sitting in a chair writing her summary for Book One shrugged and replied, "Alright, here."

"Did he assign anything?" Lady Tavington asked.

"Yes, a summary over Book One." Jae replied.

"So, he does have a brain.." said Jula in wonder.

Jae laughed.

"Apparently, though it's still primitive." she replied with a smile.

"Um, Jae, what's up with you?" Jula asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you're like, happy."

"So?"

"Did you get over your problem?"

"No, but things are getting better." Jae replied.

And if all goes as planned, it will only go uphill from here...
