The Tour

Josef held the door for Adriana. She smiled and walked into his house. She was taken aback by the painting in the front hall. "Wow, it that?…"

"Yes, I knew the artist." Josef smiled at her look of shock.

"How old-" she started.

"I thought it didn't matter." He said playfully.

"It doesn't." She shrugged and walked around into the living room. "Wow, you have a great view!" She explained upon seeing LA. Josef hung back along the wall in the shadows, avoiding the light of dawn. Adriana looked positively radiant basking in the sunlight.

She turned around and smiled at him. "I bet the view is even better from the bedroom."

Josef smiled in return. "Don't you want a tour first?" He motioned for her to follow him around the corner.

"This is the kitchen." He said walking up behind her placing soft kisses along her neck. "Fully stocked, anything special you want, just ask."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and moved her to the study. In the study he turned her around and pressed her against the bookcase, kissing her. She kissed him back and after a little bit he pulled back, "As you can see I have a large collection of reading materials to while-away the hours." He smiled as he kissed her again, pulling her from the room and down the hallway.

He backed her against the wall. He ran his hand down her sides, behind her thigh and to her knee, pulling one of her legs up to wrap it around his waist. Then he pressed into her and kissed her passionately. Adriana moaned at the feel of his arousal pressed so close to her core.

He left her lips and started trailing kisses down her neck. "What are these rooms," Adriana asked, huskily.

"Guest rooms… for freshies." Josef breathed into her neck.

"So this is where I will be staying?" She asked, grinding her hips into his.

Josef growled and scooped her up. He continued to kiss her while he carried her up the stairs. Adriana clung to his neck. Josef glided her into his room, laying her on the bed he had for just this purpose.

He turned to close the door, not bothering to lock it. They were all alone after all. Then he moved to close the windows. "No," Adriana said, "Leave them open."

"But-" Josef began to protest.

"Pain is good." She grinned wickedly, propping herself up on her elbow.

The seduction in her voice called Josef back to her. Before he could think strait he was on top of her, kissing her luscious lips and undoing her dress for the second time.

Mick sat in his car, alone. Beth had dropped him off at Josef's and he had let himself in to pick up his things. He had been perplexed that Josef had not returned yet, and that the house's usual array of people were absent, but he didn't dwell on it.

He had come so close to doing the unthinkable to Beth. And the worst thing was she didn't seem to care. Mick had been dying to kiss her like that since he saw her in the fountain all those months ago, but now that he had the opportunity he was scared. Scared of himself, scared of her, just…scared.

He needed answers. There was only one vamp he knew who might know how to solve this. Mick turned his car around and headed back to Josef's. Mick needed to speak with him… now.

Beth had dropped Mick off and then left before he emerged from the house. She figured he wouldn't be in the mood to talk, not with all that pent-up self-loathing he had accumulated in their silent car drive.

She wanted nothing more then to be with Mick, but she couldn't find a way to express this to him. He is so stubborn. She thought. But that was one of the reasons she liked him. If I could just convince him to let me in.

She turned around. She needed to speak with him. She knew if he had time to think, he might come up with some resistance. She hopped she could still catch him at Josef's.

Mick noticed Josef's car as he pulled up, Good, he's home. Mick opened the front door and called out, "Josef," He waited for a response. In his hurry to find his friend he missed the handbag that was sitting on the entry table. "Josef," he tried again, walking into the living room. Odd. Why is no one here?

Mick checked the study and then proceeded up the stairs to Josef's room. The door was closed, but unlocked. Mick opened the door and froze in place.

There was his friend, naked, with feminine arms and legs entwined around him. Mick heard a moan and recognized Adriana's scent before he saw her, also naked, beneath Josef.

"Oh my God!" Mick exclaimed, "Sorry… sorry." He quickly closed the door and fled down the hallway.

"What was that?" Adriana glanced over Josef's shoulder to the door.

"Mick." Josef said simply. He went back to kissing her, not phased in the slightest by his friend's sudden appearance.
