It was raining again. Bianca hated the rain now. It was supposed to wash away everything bad. It flooded her mind with horrible memories. She lay down in bed. Maggie was away that night, partying. She had insisted that Maggie go and have a good time with Jamie. Maggie looked worried about her, but she also looked happy to go out. Call her if I need anything. Bianca kept reminding herself. She snuggled under the covers, waiting for sleep to come. She was almost taken over when-
Click She sat up quickly. There was something in the doorway. She turned on the light. It was Michael.
"Nice little place you got here." He looked around. He seemed so comfortable, so at ease. He was playing his part. She swallowed visibly.
"What are you doing here?"
He looked at her slyly. "Why, I've come to seduce you of course."
Before she knew it, he was on top of her. She felt back on the bed. She felt warm. She didn't like it. He positioned himself between her legs.
"Now, see Bianca? It would have been so much better the first time if you had just accepted it."
"Never." She said shakily. She didn't understand what was happening. She wasn't attracted to him. Lena, I like Lena.
"No, I'm gay."
"You keep telling yourself that. Maybe someday you'll believe it." He busied himself with unbuttoning his shirt.
"I don't need to tell myself! I know!" She sat up. She inadvertently drew her mouth closer to his.
"Attraction and sexual chemistry don't care what orientation you are." He murmured.
Bianca felt herself drawn to those words. Her eyes closed in on his lips. He was looking at hers. They both then looked into each other's eyes.
"They don't care." Bianca whispered back to him. He then captured her mouth with his. Bianca felt herself going from warm to incredibly hot. She threw her arms around him, pulling him down on top of her. She could feel every inch of his body pressing against hers. So, this is what a heterosexual relationship feels like. This has to be a dream! She moved her arms so he could pull her nightshirt off. She had nothing on underneath.
"Mmmm, I like..." He murmured into her neck as he trailed kisses down her collarbone. He touched a point and she bucked her hips. He quickly compensated by nearly tearing his jeans off. She could feel him against her, her own body feeling more and more impatient.
"Come one, please..." She begged. She moved to wrap her legs around his.
"No, babe. We do this on my terms." He grinned at her, kissing her passionately again.
"More, Michael, please!" She nearly cried out.
"WHAT!?" Bianca bolted upright. Maggie and Jamie stood in the doorway, looking at her shocked.
"What?" She tried to play it cool.
"Bianca..." Maggie sat on the bed. "You just cried out 'more, Michael, please'."
Bianca looked away, ashamed.
Maggie looked at Jamie who stood there shocked. She studied him for a while. She turned to Bianca again.
"Were you having an erotic dream about Michael Cambias?"
Bianca hung her head.
Maggie couldn't believe it. "Bianca, you were having an erotic dream about the man who raped you."
Jamie cleared his throat. "You know, Maggie, I think I'm going to get going."
She nodded. He kissed her on the forehead. "Night Maggie. Night, Bianca." And left.
It had to have been a dream...and it was.

Maggie stormed her way right into Michael Cambias' condo. He didn't look too happy, sitting down reading a newspaper.
"Well, Ms. Stone, I'd offer you a drink but you aren't even invited in. Besides, you're underage."
She glared at him. "I though underage was your type, Michael."
He looked at her for a second. He put down the newspaper.
"Did you come here to seduce me?"
"If it means you will never bother Bianca again. Never try to contact your child."
He looked at her carefully. "Look, Maggie, you are really beautiful and sexy, have a lot of spunk, and believe me, I could use some spunk, but you don't want to seduce me."
She angrily walked over to him. Throwing down his newspaper, she straddled his lap, put her arms are his neck, and kissed him passionately. He kissed her back willingly. He started to put his hands under her shirt when she pulled back.
"See? You can't." He leaned back. "Though you are a very good kisser. Mind if I have you on call?"
She stood up, disgusted. "I can't."
He raised his eyebrows. "You can't in good conscience seduce the man who raped your best friend."
She looked at him quickly. "You admit it!"
"Course I do! Just not in front of a judge and jury."
She turned away from him. "I can't seduce the man I want to kill."
He nodded. "Well, that does put a damper on the relationship." He stood up, adjusting his shirt. "Hey, if you ever need a night of passionate, meaningless sex, call me." He winked at her as he reached for her. "This is why I like teenage girls. The intensity, the passion they have..." He grinned at her, "just makes me want more."
Maggie stood rooted to her spot. He does have so much control...how does he do it?
"What have you done to Bianca?"
He looked at her dubiously, confused. "Um, I thought we already established what I did. You see, Maggie, when a man and a woman-"
"I mean how did you get to her? How did you get into her mind?"
Michael nearly jumped for joy. He clapped his hands together. "Oh, you mean it happened already! Wow, that's a record for me!"
"What?" Maggie cried out.
"My complete seduction of Bianca, of course. You want to be next?" He eyed her figure, a smile appearing on his face. "I wouldn't mind."
"I'm serious, Michael Cambias." She said, her voice like steel. He felt the chill in the air.
"So am I, Mary Margaret Stone." He opened the door.
She walked past him, not caring if they touched or not.
"You owe me a drink." Was all she said, and then she walked away.

Kendall couldn't believe her eyes when she looked at her mail.
"No way. This cannot be."
Aidan came out just then, tucking his shirt in.
"What is it, Kendall?" She handed him the letter. It was an invitation to a dinner to be held at the Embassy. It was from Michael Cambias. "Mr. Michael Cambias requests the honor of your presence, Ms. Kendall Hart and Guest at a formal black tie dinner event to be held at 5 o'clock pm, Friday, the thirteenth of October. Mr. Cambias has some very special announcements that will affect all of Pine Valley."
Kendall looked at him worriedly.
Aidan threw the invitation down. "I don't know what game he's playing Kendall, but you are not going unless I go."
She nodded. "I'm going to find out."

"I can't believe we are actually going to this." Bianca finished buttoning up Maggie's dress for her.
"Yeah, well at least you get to deliver a punch to Michael when you show up with Lena as your date!" Maggie grinned. Bianca smiled too, just as someone knocked on the door. Maggie opened it to find both Jamie and Lena standing there.
"Hey!" Maggie hugged both.
"Do we have any idea what this is about? I personally don't want to be in a room with Michael if I can help it." Lena commented to Maggie and Jamie.
"None of us know anything. Though Bianca in there claims to have some sort of psychic connection to Michael."
Lena looked at Bianca in astonishment.
"I do not have a psychic connection, and know now more than any of you about what's going to happen."
"Shall we be off?" Jaime asked the three girls. They all nodded and left the apartment.
