Chapter Four:
Walking into the giant three story mansion Kenzi had barely made it a few feet before she saw about a bazillion things she would like to take.
After being driven here by Vex's driver Kenzi knew she wanted to win that bet for sure now. It would feel super awesome to be driven around in style like tonight.
However if she were being honest with herself that hadn't really been the foremost thought in her head when she agreed to the bet with Vex.
She was just looking forward to spending some more time with the gothic club owner.
Not that tonight had not been fun but she had to admit that even being out with Bo didn't help to derail her ever increasing fascination with the dark Mesmer. It was like he was giving out some fae allure that only she could feel.
Bo certainly did not see it if her comments about how much she had not wanted to investigate his club was anything to go by.
Even his home was amazing. It was a three story building that had obviously been build years ago since it had an olden time structure to the outside not to mention huge gardens and grounds that reminded her of things she had heard from the very brief history lessons she had had on Europe and England in school.
It really just showed his power and reach that he could design something like this. Not everyone could bring a bit of their homeland into their current place of living.
She of all people could vouch for that.
Yet inside the mansion it was a mix of old and modern. She really couldn't wait to see more. Never one to wait for an invitation she started to explore.
"Vexter this place is amazing!" said Kenzi has she strolled into what looked like the sitting room.
"You've been here before" said Vex seemingly content to follow her through his house for now.
"Yeah but that was a little different. I was totally distracted by your get up and the scary dominatrix lady with a sword pointed at you to take in much of the décor" laughed Kenzi rolling her eyes as she zeroed in on a crystal statue.
It was very small and looked to be some sort of creature with wings but she couldn't tell what.
She picked it up and turned it this way and that before giving up on identifying what it could be. It was most likely some fae creature.
Twisting it around slightly she went back to examining other things on the desk making a little noise as she rummaged to distract her other hands quick twist into her pocket.
"Well goody for me you remember that" he said darkly flopping down on the couch as he began to fiddle with the console on the table. It looked like it was permanently hooked up to the large flat screen television.
Kenzi had been around Vex enough to have developed a sixth sense for when he was about to go into one of his darker moods.
It was a huge buzz kill when this happened so she always tried to prevent them if she could.
"Hey hey no Vexie come on" she said nearly running over to him to grab his hands to stop his ministrations.
"What gives love?" asked Vex
"I want you to show me around this giant museum first before we play!" said Kenzi cheerfully as she started to tug him up from the couch.
"What, why?" he asked in a suspicious voice but at least he was now standing so Kenzi took that as a sign that he was willing to be distracted from whatever dark thoughts his mind had been reverting to.
"Why not? Come on are you telling me no one's ever come in here and not asked for the grand tour? You must have so many freaking rooms here with like a trillion valuable relics" she exclaimed excitedly.
"I let the first comment about the museum slide love but call something I own a relic again and I might start the tour in my dungeon" said Vex still looking slightly confused that Kenzi wasn't kidding about the tour but he was letting her pull him along out of the sitting room.
"I said "valuable" relics so in a way that's a compliment" she said smiling at Vex before her smile disappeared.
"Wait dungeon? You don't do you? Oh my god do you have like top secret super creepy torture rooms?" asked Kenzi feeling a little ill at the thought.
Now it was Vex's turn to roll his eyes.
"Yeah because you know love that's something you want in your own home when you were the dark feys right hand assassin. Should I also have stamped the word evidence on the door? "He said sarcastically.
"Well I was just asking. Chains, roped whatever, that's not something I'm in the mood for seeing right now thank you very much" said Kenzi.
"You never know love until you try it" said Vex pulling Kenzi toward him.
She hadn't realised she still had not let go of his hand yet. They were now back in the hall and standing in front of the large staircase leading upstairs.
Kenzi couldn't help it. After all she was standing very close to him and he had that twinkle of mischief in his dark eyes that promised so many things so yeah her mind jumped to the fact that his bedroom was probably right up those stairs.
And she was still holding his hand!
Pulling it away she rolled her eyes and in her best offhanded voice she said "In your dreams Mesmer" before pointedly looking between them to where he had pulled her practically against him.
Ok so she didn't move away but still she made her point.
"You were leading love. I think I know my house a little better don't you?" he said laughing his manic laugh.
Kenzi could feel herself blush slightly. She had been so busy on distracting him from his mood that it didn't really cross her mind that she did not have a clue where she had been heading.
"Alright your highness go right ahead" said Kenzi making an exaggerated mocking bow to cover her earlier embarrassment.
It also let her take a step back so she didn't have to worry about doing something stupid like reaching out and touching his chest, which looked amazing in his latest black button up.
"Come on then love. Any place you want to begin?" he asked laughing at her as he grabbed her hand in his and started to drag her this time.
"Nope" said Kenzi, her voice a little higher than usual.
"Good I like a girl who'll let me take control" he said winking at her before heading down a long hall to their left.
Rolling her eyes Kenzi felt better at the joke but not the implications.
Stopping purposely in front of one of the dark panelled wooden doors along the hall she asked innocently "What's in here?"
It's not like she was one to ever give control over that easily.
Vex though seemed to know what she was doing but still stopped eyeing her with humour in his eyes before he said
"It's a closet. Go on ahead and look if you like love. Far from it for me to question what humans find interesting"
Kenzi was about to open the door because she didn't believe him and also because she felt like being defiant but unfortunately he started to pull her a long before she got the chance.
"Ok I'll show you the closets later if you're so interested love but for now I got something much better that I know you'll like" he said seeming to be in a much better mood now.
"Fine but I'm checking out that room later" she said following him down the hall, her curiosity was defiantly spiked now.
"Oh and one more thing love before we continue the tour" said Vex swinging her around so her back was against the wall and he was pressed up against her.
His hand was suddenly at her side and moving lower.
Kenzi suddenly could not breathe.
He stopped at her pocket before he slipped his hand inside and pulled out the little crystal figure that she had been admiring earlier.
"I'm glad you have good taste but it's cheating if I see you take it. Where's the fun in that? Only what I don't see from now on" he whispered against her ear.
Kenzi bite her lip as he pulled back and then as if nothing happened he was back to pulling her down the hall to the first room on his tour.
"Game on" she whispered making the Mesmer laugh.
As they walked Kenzi felt her mind racing.
She did not know which one shocked her more. That she had gotten caught, which was rare in itself or at how incredible Vex smelled and at how good he felt pressed up against her.
"Get it together Kenz" she admonished herself. They were friends. He was dark and so was not interested in her that way.
He was also bad ass, sexy, funny and…no, she forced her mind away from those thoughts. Kenzi knew that she would just have to think of something else, anything else whenever her mind went to anything Vex and how hot he was related.
She had a long night to go she thought sadly.
