2 days later…

Cars were looping around the large fountain dropping off political figures left and right. White haired men with matching older ladies or young, attached to their arms walked in. It was loud and luxurious. Nick managed to convince a valet driver he was a cop, like his uniform wasn't enough, to actually park the car for us. We stood wide eyed at the large building. What was this place? Some type of political building I was sure. The words were in elvish so I couldn't read them, but I noticed how tall the building was. Maybe it was a hotel. I looked up at Nick to see he looked nervous, eyes looking all over the place as people stared. I was in a red dress that fit my body perfectly. It stopped below my knees and the sleeves were translucent with soft red glitter embedded in the fabric. My heals were black and beautiful, my hair pinned up and decorated with pearled barrettes. I placed my hand over his chest.

"Hey relax. We are here to have fun." I replied and he looked down at me with a groan as I led us to the doors.

"That's easy for you to say. People look at you and wonder why you're here with me. People look at me and just wonder why I am here." he said as we entered. We were met with bright lights shining down on us and we looked around to see a busy hallway filled with people in black and white talking and chatting. I looked around at how glorious this hall was. The lights were round above us and everyone was just laughing with drinks in their hand.

"Hey Jackoby!" We looked to see Daryl walking our way. He was in a nice suit and tie. "O! I was wondering when you would all show up!" Daryl was a nice guy, but I knew he too was reserved about being partnered with Nick. But I was more than happy to advise him to watch my roommate's back. I smiled and hugged him.

"Hey Daryl. Where's Sherri?" I asked and he turned and pointed to his wife in a long green dress, hair in waves.

"Sherri!" I yelled as she walked over with a bright smile.

"O! Good to see you darling." She said happily. I liked Nick's wife.

"You too. The gang's all here. Hope we don't get into trouble tonight." I teased and chuckled and Nick chuckled nervously.

"Yeah wouldn't say that." Nick said. Three other cops confronted us: Pollard, Hicks, and Brown.

"Wow, the diversity trainee managed to convince a girl to actually be his date!" Pollard laughed and I tensed heavily.

"Hey Pollard cool it man." Daryl warned. Pollard raised his hands in defense.

"Hey man just having fun." he replied.

"Hey how much he pay you?" Hicks asked. Now Nick, Daryl and his wife all started warning the men in my defense. I placed my hand on Nick's chest calming him.

"Hey it's okay." I replied looking at the three cops. "With the job I have, I make more than all three of you combined. You're nothing compared to me. If I wanted, my voice alone could pop all three of your heads like blood filled balloons." I said slowly and carefully with a tilt of my head. Their mocking smiles slowly began to fade as I could see their minds racing together.

'Was I really a siren?' 'She couldn't be could she?' 'She's obviously bluffing' But they will never test me. I smiled at my companions.

"Come I am so thirsty." I replied and Daryl and Nick raised their arms to Sherri and I and we both took our partners arms and moved down the hall into the large room where there was a stage for a band to plan. In front of the stage some couples were dancing and in the back were tables and a bar and a buffet table. However, there were still men and women in black taking orders and serving drinks. We all looked around at the mirror like ceiling above us with crystal lights hanging over us. In the back I noticed a balcony where men were smoking and conversing.

"I'll go find us a table." Sherri said separating from us.

"Ah Jakoby, Ward!" Sgt. Ching called from afar. She was standing with more men in black and they looked like no nonsense men.

"We better go see what they want." Daryl said and Nick looked caught off guard and he looked down at me muttering some type of apology, but I shook my head.

"Go. I will be alright." I replied and Nick looked uncertain before nodding.

"Okay. Be right back." he said and the two began to walk over to their superior. I was left standing by myself and so I decided I would get a better look at the orchestra playing. I kept my body close to the wall as I moved around the crowd of people. When I felt I was close enough, I noticed they just played music and nothing else. Ah so it was this kind of night. A familiar smell entered my nostrils and I closed my eyes sighing silently as I felt content and mildly aroused.

"Enjoying the music?" I hear him ask in my ear and I open my eyes slowly, feeling his breath right on the shell of my ear. I'm shivering some.

"Not my kind of music." I replied looking down some to see his shoes.

"I thought music gave your kind power."

I chuckled gently.

"I like hearing lyrics, the voice, the tone, the feeling…" I said slowly turning to meet kandomere's silver-blue eyes. He's wearing a dark blue suit. I smirked, my eyes rolling my eyes over his body and he does the same to me.

"Looks expensive." I said and he smiles some.

"Looks... not expensive enough." he teased and I looked to see his gorget was still around his neck and I shook my head.

"Yes, because I am humble. I am grateful for what I have." I said.

"And you think I am not?" he asked. I shrugged some.

"I do not know what you are." I replied honestly and now he leaned forward some inhaling deeply my face before he leaned back some.

"You've been with an orc." he stated and I nodded.

"Yes. I took that orc home and met some of his kin." I said and he nodded slowly, his face frowning some. I gasped placing my hands on both his chiseled jaw.

"No. No frowning. It'll leave you with facial marks." I said and that seemed to bring him back. He took one of my hands and slowly pressed the top of my palm to his nose inhaling my scent. I did my best to keep hold of my sanity. My body feels numb like it's turning to jelly, and when I feel his lips graze my palm and give it a gentle lick, I feel my vaginal walls throb immediately.

"Dance with me, and I'll forget all about your… escapades with the commoners." he purred. I rolled my eyes playfully and nodded.

"Alright. One dance." I declared and he smirked victoriously and curled his fingers around my hand and led me to the dance floor. As we met to the dance floor, a woman with platinum blonde hair in a short red dress with only one right shoulder strapped moved onto the stage. She was not afraid to reveal the colorful tattoo sleeve that started at her shoulder and moved down her arm. She was hip, I just knew it. I could tell from all the young people moving to the dance floor. Young cops, young fireman, young paramedics everyone. Kandomere wrapped his arm around my hip and pulled me into him as our other hands curled into each other.

"One pill makes you larger… one pill makes you small. And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all. Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall." She started to sing. Now I gasped with happiness. White Rabbit, but it was a different version singing. I liked it. I smiled more and looked at Kandomere who shrugged.

"I figured you'd get bored of simply old instrumental music. So hopefully this kind of music is in the ball park for you." He said. He did this? My face showed how shocked I was.

"Why would you do this, is this your way of serenading me?" I asked. He shrugged.

"If it's working then yes. I remember you said that's how sirens attract each other." he said. I leaned back some our bodies still moving in align with each other matching the rhythm of the music.

"Are you trying to attract me?" I asked and he pulled me in and dipped me to the ground, our faces moving closer to each other.

"Maybe." he said and pulled me back and I took a step back from him moving my hips from side to side before gliding up to him.

"Remember! What the door mouse said! Feed your head!" the singer yelled out and I smiled some.

"And why would you want to attract me? That's a dangerous game." I replied and he took my hands pulling me into him and letting his arm wrap around my lower back once more.

"Because I like dangerous. I have never been afraid to tell others what I want. Maybe… your voice has captured me in a way nothing else could. Everything I once thought beautiful and mesmerizing was nothing compared to you and your voice. I am filled with jealousy when another man touches you." he said. "Montehugh told me about your love who died." Now my dancing stopped and I just stared up stunned at him. He looked down some eyeing the ground for the answers.

"I thought you were just some depressed emo siren who wanted to fade away into the darkness, but you are so much more than that. You have a talent that others wish they could have. I… want to wake up to you every day." he continued placing his hands on my cheeks, his thumb rubbing a tear that ran over my cheek. I stepped back from him and he looked almost saddened by my movement. I hated this. I hated that he could bring such emotions out of me, that by his touches, my body just submitted and melted. I turned and just walked away from the dance floor, moving into the halls once more. I felt my heart pounding, filled with emotions and guilt. Guilt because I could not contain myself any longer around him. And we both knew it and it scared me and made me weak. I just let my hand press into the wall and I placed my hand over my heart feeling it thump faster and faster. I hadn't felt this way since Kyle.

Am I really going to break my outer shell because of some elf? I felt his scent cloud my brain. When I inhaled, I smelled his intoxicating, dominating scent. I could smell it in a crowd of people. I feel a warm hand on the small of my back and I jumped a bit and turned to see Kandomere standing over me, eyes dark yet soft and patient. I stared up at him for a moment before he leaned in and kissed me hard. I wrapped me arms around him immediately and he grabbed my bottom and lifted me up quickly. I gasped and he carried me into the nearest unlocked room which happened to be a suite of its own. He kicked the door closed with his foot and hurried to lock it. I couldn't hear anymore music or even people. Maybe my mind blocked it out.

It's cliché to think our societies will say what we are doing was wrong. Yet everything else felt so right. He unzips my dress, I remove his suit jacket and then his pants. He places his hand into my hair and quickly removes the pins that held everything together. My hair fell over my shoulders. Our lips met each other once more and we continued pawing at each other until he and I were naked before each other. The last thing left on him was his gorget. I moved to grab it, but I gasped and quickly removed my hands from it. I could tell it was of high value to Kandomere that screamed not to touch. Kandomere looked down at me with a soft smile.

"Take it off." he whispered seductively. I looked down at the pure abs and that stared up at me. I never realized how perfectly sculpted his body was. I glanced up at him and he gave my lips a gentle peck. "Take it off." By now, I had thrown other thoughts away and moved my hands toward his stomach and lightly let them slide over every inch of his body. Elves. Always so perfect. Kandomere's hands did their own prowling of my body as I finally reached the chain of his gorget. Large hands pawed at my breasts and stomach and gently I unclasped the piece of metal and I watched it slide off his body and on instinct Kandomere caught it and looked at it for a moment. It must be something sacred, maybe to his family.

"Elves above all. Above all elves." he whispered looking at it deeply with meaning. I looked at it for a second before meeting his eyes slowly. He now let his hand tilt over and the piece of metal fell from his palm as if it were nothing. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me into another heated kiss.

Author's notes

Hope you are all enjoying the fic. I know for some reason fanfiction is not letting me access my account or fics sometimes, mostly this new fiction I've started, but that will not stop me. Soon more drama will come as Kandy and O are together with both their families, species, a certain orc gang leader and the main issue the terrorist group. Until next time!
