Weiwei found herself in Xiao Nai's office. She felt the hair on her arms and legs rise with a slight breeze coming from an open window. The night gown she wore did little to keep out the chilled air. Glancing towards his private door, she found it ajarred. As if in a trance, Weiwei slowly walked in, her eyes falling on the coffin in the room. With every step she felt her heart rate increase, the blood pumping deafening her ears. Weiwei grazed the dark wood of the lid, slowly lifting it to reveal an awake Xiao Nai. His gaze traveled down her body, his muscles tensing. Leaning slightly out, his hands grazed her shoulders pushing down the straps of her night gown, the flimsy fabric falling away from her body, leaving her bare for him to see.
"What do you want Weiwei?" His voice was low and tense. Without saying a word, she climbed in, lying beside him, his body turned to over tower her. The velvet lining felt nice against her skin. His hand grazed her face before running down, sending a wave of electricity that shot through her as he went. Lowering his head, Xiao Nai kissed the side of her neck, the heat inside of her rising. "What do you want?" He asked again. Weiwei heard his fangs click out, she felt his finger slowly enter her, earning a gasp from her lips.
"You." She breathed out, his lips crashing on hers. The tension built, she felt the coil in winding tight before it would-
Weiwei sat up with a start, her alarm blaring, pulling her from her dream. Her legs were sill shaking from the intensity of the dream, she felt as if he was still there. Slamming her hand down she silenced the rude noise. Her body reacting to the dream still. Placing her hand on her heart, she felt the beat as if it was coming from out of her chest. The coil all to real, she felt it slowly subside. "Shit." She muttered falling back on her pillows unable to forget the dream that has been plaguing her for the better part of week, yet unable to fall back into it.
Weiwei was clicking away on his computer, trying to put in the data he needed into the spreadsheet for the new remolding plans of a housing unit, when his door opened from his room. He came out his his tie not tied and his buttons still unbuttoned, suit jacket flung over his arm. Xiao Nai didn't seem startled to see her, but she thought she might be dreaming seeing his chest through the slim slit of the fabric.
"You're working late." He said, buttoning his shirt. Both had the knowledge that he could have finished it by now.
"Don't you have a home to go back to?" She questioned, her focus back on her the charts. Weiwei quickly put in the last two numbers, her hands coming off the keyboard. Xiao Nai came to stand beside her, his tie un tied and hanging off his neck.
"It's being remodeled." He looked at the piles of papers on the desk. "This them?" She nodded, pointing the one of the left and moving right.
"This is for the shipment coming from Beijing, this pile is the information and paperwork with the city that need your signature for the new building that you are starting next year. The contractor needs your signature and the first check in order to begin building." He was looking over the words, when Weiwei, started to tie his tie for him. He stood up straight, looking down at her, his eyes trained on her face. When she finished and tightened it to where it needed to be, his hand came to rest over hers.
"Weiwei, it's been a week." She continued to look at the knot she had completed refusing to look up at him. "You don't seem to be phased by anything." She willed her heart rate to stay the same. Hoping the heat wasn't coming up to her cheeks, like she felt it spiral down to her core.
"Should I be?" She looked up at him, a look of innocence that Xiao Nai knew she was lying.
"What did Feng Teng tell you?" It had been bothering him for so long, what did his maker tell her that night.
"It's not important." Sliding her hand out from under his, she smiled up at him before turning to grab her things. "I should head home." Xiao Nai watched her leave, the elevator doors sliding shut. Weiwei let out the breath she didn't know she was holding, her hand over her heart. The elevator seemed to be slower than it normally did, her mind on why she wanted him. She wanted him before he gave her his blood, those feelings only intensified, something she couldn't deny. When the elevator doors opened to the first floor, she stepped out only to run into Xiao Nai. Without saying a word, he held out his hand for her to take, which she did slowly before he began to lead her back to her apartment. Weiwei kept her head down, ignoring the looks from the vampire workers just getting in and the human ones that were just leaving. It wasn't until they were in her apartments elevator when he pulled the stop button, locking them away from eyes. Weiwei could barley see, with only the emergency lights on under the railing. A voice came over the intercom, the red light from the camera bright as day.
"Is everything alright?" A voice came over the intercom.
"Everything is fine, this Xiao Nai, please turn off the recording device, I need to have a private conversation." He ordered looking directly into the camera lense. Weiwei watched the red light turn off, leaving them completely there alone. Turning his attention back to her, Xiao Nai took a step towards her, making her take one back.
"What did Feng Teng tell you?" She knew he was trying to intimated her, it wasn't having the affect he thought he was. His low voice only seemed to drive her crazy. Her back hit the wall, his arms locking her in.
"Boss Xiao." She tried mergely. Her eyes darting to his lips then away trying not to look at him.
"Weiwei, Feng Teng is my maker. He knows a great deal about me, but some he doesn't. I want to know what he told you." Weiwei blinked, her gaze falling on the floor.
"He told me that you possibly only want me for my blood." Daring herself she looked up at him, their eyes connecting. "And only my blood." She finished. She watched his jaw clench before he turned around, and started the elevator again. The red camera light came back on, and they were soon at her floor. Stepping out, Xiao Nai followed her to her apartment, entering as soon as she opened the door. Closing it behind her, Weiwei found Xiao Nai starring at himself in one of the mirrors in the living room. She placed her things down on a chair, walking over to him. Reaching out, he pulled her back towards him, hugging her from behind. His arms holding her around tightly.
"Is Shanshan in?"
"No. She went to help Feng Teng with something." Weiwei placed a hand on his arm. "Xiao Nai, what's going on?" She felt his lips place a soft kiss on her shoulder, the pressure felt through the fabric of her shirt. His nose tracing a line up to her pulse point, his breath sending a shock wave through her. Weiwei held back a moan at the moment his lips touched her skin. She heard the click of his teeth, the fangs pressing softly, but didn't break skin. Looking up, he met her gaze in the mirror.
"I am a monster. I've always been one, in this life and my last." Weiwei watched the rim around his eyes begin to turn red. She wondered why a monster would be so shaken over a silly thing like her. Turning in his arms, she wrapped hers around his neck, gazing up at him. "This doesn't frighten you?"
"No. No it doesn't...I was more scared of those men and the vampire who attacked me then I have ever been of you." Xiao Nai clicked his teeth away, gazing into her.
"That's a mistake." Before she could say anything his lips were on hers. It was more intense than her dreams. There was a hunger there, from her or him, she wasn't quite sure. Xiao Nai lifted her up with ease, moving quickly to lay her back on the couch. Her hands began to tear off his suit jacket, the tie she had done, pulled down and to the side. His hands snaked up her shirt, spreading wide across her stomach, pulling her closer to him. Weiwei had never been kissed like this before, like the only thing he wanted was her. Her hands began to shake a little, trying to undo his buttons in her rush, he gripped them tightly, placing his forehead on hers.
"Weiwei. I'm many things, but forcing women has never been one of them." She smiled.
"You're not forcing me to do anything." Weiwei hooked her leg around the back of his, pulling his lips to meet hers once more. She felt him against her, ready and willing to go. For a second Weiwei thought she was still dreaming. It wasn't until the sound of a phone coming from his jacket was heard. She tilted her head to look at it, but Xiao Nai pulled her lips back his.
"It's not important right now." She moaned when his hands traveled further up her stomach, teasing her. "You're important." Weiwei bit her lip, trying hold back another, his mouth moving south, his lips teasing her with kisses as he went. Shortly after his phone stopped ringing it began to ring again, tearing Weiwei from her trance.
"Xiao Nai?" She said again. Moving back up to her, he kissed her deeply, his tongue fighting with hers, keeping her from the distraction. Weiwei heard the phone again, pushing him on chest. "You should answer it this time." She whispered. Xiao nai dipped his head once more to kiss her quickly before sitting up and grabbing the phone. He saw the word Unknown flash across the screen before accepted the call.
"What?" He hissed out. Xiao Nai felt Weiwei place a gentle hand on arm, trying to calm him down. His hand coming to interlock with hers. He found himself smiling at her.
"Now now, is that anyway to talk to your brother?" A sinister voice sang out. Xiao Nai felt like someone had poured ice down his spine.
"Who is this?" He knew who, he just wanted him to say it.
"I'm hurt. After all these years apart, you don't remember me?"
"I have no brother." Weiewi looked at him confused. Xiao Nai slipped his hand from hers, he stood up, walking over to the window.
"Zhen Shaoxiang? That name ring any bells?" He teased at him. Glancing behind him, Xiao Nai looked at a confused and slightly scared Weiwei. Her shirt was still skewed, her hair down and draping her face.
"What do you want?"
"Tell Feng Teng hes going to pay for what he did. Starting with his Progeny's men." Xiao Nai heard screams in the background before the line went dead. Looking at the dark screen for a brief second, his mind registered what was happening. Calling Yu Banshan, he found himself breathing a sigh of relief when he answered the phone.
"Xiao Nai?"
"Call all of our employees. Send every human back to their house and tell them not to invite anyone in. Compulse them to only let in people they know or don't answer the door. Send our vampires to our building for an emergency meeting."
"Which ones?"
"All of them." He hung up the phone, making his way to Weiwei.
"Xiao nai, what's going on?" She asked. He was buttoning his shirt, while she handed him his tie.
"Don't let anyone in. The moment a vampire you do not know shows up, call me or Feng Teng. Under no circumstances are you to leave this place."
"Shanshan-"
"I'm calling Feng Teng the moment I leave. He is going to bring her here." He gripped her face, placing her hair behind her ear.
"I don't understand. What is going on?"
"A war just begun. I'm afraid you are going to get caught in it." Xiao Nai kissed her forehead, but before he could leave, Weiwei pulled him in for a deeper kiss. When he pulled away, he looked like never wanted to leave.
"I trust you." The moment he left, she quickly went to call Shanshan only to hear her cousin's ringtone come from her bedroom. "Shanshan!" She yelled out in frustration.
Shanshan was relaxing on the outdoor swing in Feng Teng's backyard. The sound of the running water in his pond, was soothing to listen too, while she read. Feng Teng clicking away on his laptop wasn't all that soothing to her, but she tried her best to ignore it. Every so often, she felt Feng Teng reach down and touch her ankle, her eyes flashing to him, only to see it was seemingly doing it absentmindedly. Her feet tuck safe and secure under his thigh, making it in possible for her to leave. Shanshan's attention was drawn from her book when one of his servants came holding his phone.
"Sir, I now you don't want to be disturbed-"
"Then why are you disturbing me?" He questioned back, his gaze coming up from his laptop long enough to fix a dissatisfied glare on her. She bowed quickly her hand holding the phone beginning to shake. Shanshan poked him with her toe, which he knowledged by taking the phone and shooing the woman away.
"You should be more nice." Shanshan chastised him. Feng Teng looked over at her with a wicked smile.
"You should be more mean." He placed the phone to his ear, his gaze on her. "Underling?"
"Zhen Shaoxiang sends his regards." He heard. Xiao Nai sounded out of breath and a undertone of anger. Feng Teng seemed a little taken back by his tone. It had been a while since Xiao Nai had gotten this angry before. Annoyed yes, angry no.
"Already?"
"We are doing a head count at my office, but currently everyone is on lockdown. Yu Banshan is getting back to me regarding the human employees. I know Shanshan is with you, Weiwei is waiting for her at their apartment." He heard a pause in his progney's words. "Don't make me say it."
"I do love hearing you beg." No matter how much danger they were in, he did enjoy teasing those closests to him.
"I need you to come here and make a plan."
"Why is that?"
"Damn it, Feng Teng! He's not going to go away like last time. He already has some of my men, we are just trying to figure out who! He's playing by the old rules now. Remember what you taught us? You were the great designer on how to burn down a kingdom. You leave the king for last." Feng Teng looked over at Shanshan who had closed her book and was sitting closer to him.
"I'll be there soon."
"Drop Shanshan off at her apartment she will be safe there." Reaching out, he moved a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"She'll be safer with me."
"Feng Teng, please think. He can't get into their apartment at all. She'll be safe there. With you there will always be the danger of him getting to her." Xiao Nai tried to reason with him. One less person in of their home and away from danger the better.
"Fine. I'll be there in twenty." Standing up, he held out his hand for Shanshan to take. She took it quickly, while he picked her up, running into the house. Placing her back on her feet, she let out the breath she was holding. She bowed to the few humans that were looking at them confused. Stopping right before the front door, he helped put her coat on.
"What's going on? What's happening?" She asked. Instead of responding towards her, Feng Teng simply leaned down kissing her. His hand on the back of her neck, he had caught her by surprise. When he pulled away, he traced a small circle with his thumb over her cheek, a playful smile on his face. He enjoyed teasing her, and the look of shock written on hers.
"Be good and follow exactly what I say." Shanshan felt her cheeks turn a bright shade of red, her grip on her purse growing tighter. Feng Teng opened the door only to find Shaoxiang standing at the bottom of the small stairwell. The dim porch light made him look sinister to Shanshan. Feng Teng reached over gripping her hand tightly, pulling her into his side. "Don't let go of my hand." She nodded, giving him a reassuring squeeze.
"Took you long enough." The man said from down below. Feng Teng smirked at him, beginning to walk slowly with her down towards his car.
"I heard you've been busy tonight." Shanshan noticed that the man's eyes were on her.
"Have I?" He shrugged, stepping closer to them as he went. "Maybe not as busy as I should be, but hey, just trying to back into the swing of things."
"You were never a good starter, nor a finisher." Feng Teng got to the car, and tried to get Shanshan in, but before he could, Shaoxiang held the door frozen, his eyes looking into Feng Tengs.
"One by one, I will destroy everything you love until you there is nothing left but a lonely vampire looking for scarps on a battlefield. Again." Taking a step forward Feng Teng pushed on his shoulder, giving Shanshan room to get in the car. He shut her in, standing in front of the door.
"You could never kill me Shaoxiang. If you could, I would have died the moment I drank your lover dry." Taking a step back, Shaoxiang looked at his maker with an evil glint.
"Here that Shanshan. Your knight in shinning armour is just another cold bloodied killer." Running over and appearing in the driver's seat, Shanshan looked at Feng Teng scared.
"How does he know my name?" She asked, looking back at the figure slowing becoming smaller in the side mirror. Her eyes on Feng Teng who gripped the stirring wheel tighter. "How did he know my name?"
"That's something I would like to know as well." He fingers moving fast, the message being sent to Xiao Nai before they hit the next block.
