AN: Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight. Please bear with our slow updates. LadyMiaF is having internet issues and that makes it a little more difficult for us to brainstorm together. We won't abandon the story! Italics in this chapter signify a flashback. This chapter lives up to the M rating...take a hike if you're under 18.

Caius POV

I stared out the window, a cruel smile curling the corners of my mouth and animating my usually expressionless countenance. Deep in thought, I remembered when I had discovered the secret that would rock the very foundations of the Volturi if ever it was brought into the light of day. I was a cold heartless bastard and I did not give a damn what anyone thought of me. I wanted what I wanted and nothing would stop me from attaining it. Knowledge would give me the advantage I needed to acquire my prize.

The young Cullen and his human had just departed from the castle. I sneered as I thought of my brother's weakness in allowing them to depart unpunished. Aro would be very sorry he had been so lenient. I knew Aro was up to something; I just had no idea what it was.

When he slipped from the castle later that evening, I followed him. I may not be a tracker of Demetri's caliber, but I had learned various tricks over the centuries. My skills would be more than sufficient for the task of discovering what Aro was hiding.

Aro had gone into a small cottage and was speaking with Jane about a recent mission. I hovered near an opened window, careful not to alert them to my presence. Didyme and the two Romanians, Stefan and Vladimir seemed to be the topic of the discussion. I quickly deduced that the Romanians had taken Didyme with Aro's blessing and assistance. I was ecstatic at this revelation; finally I had something to hold over Aro's head!

I waited until Jane departed and entered the cottage. I leaned against the doorway observing him for a moment before speaking.

"Well Aro, you have been very naughty haven't you?"

I started to circle him; keeping enough distance that he could not touch me. He moved with me warily not turning his back to me as he spoke in his ever cheery tone.

"Whatever do you mean Brother Dear?"

I snarled, quickly reverting to my usual cadence, and moved without preamble. I had to act quickly and press my advantage while it still existed.

"You know what I speak of Aro. You had Didyme captured and gave her to the Romanians."

Lunging forward, I grabbed his hair in my fist with one hand and shoved him forward forcefully, ripping away his robes and clothing. Sneering, I brutally bent him over and spread him wide, violently thrusting my cock right against his puckered hole and forcing my considerable length all the way in. I took extreme satisfaction in his scream of agonizing pain.

My lips were next to his ear as I spoke in a deadly calm tone, "You will bend to my will, Brother and see that I am…satisfied… or I will be forced to reveal your darkest secret to Marcus. We cannot have that, can we?"

I slammed my hips forward burying myself in his tight ass and laughing darkly. He had given me the most wonderful material for blackmail. I had waited almost a millennia for him to slip up and give me this kind of power over him. His screams began to die down as he succumbed to my will, finally whispering to me in hopes I would stop.

"Fine, I will submit to your request."

As he began to wilt beneath me, I thrust harder at vampire speed, roaring out and emptying my cold venom in his ass. Pulling out, I adjusted myself and released him, but never turned my eyes from him as I spoke.

"Perfect, now Aro, you know what I wish most to be happy...Isabella."

I shook myself from the reverie and sneered as I felt Afton's presence at the entrance of my private study.

Snapping, I growled out, "Why have you disturbed me?"

He bowed and spoke. "Forgive me, Master, I brought news. Master Aro wishes to see you."

I glared icily and granted his dismissal with a wave of my hand. With a swish of robes, I moved with preternatural speed to find my wicked brother.

Aro winced visibly as I stepped into his chambers. I chuckled darkly and addressed him.

"It has been quite some time since I have been to your private chambers, Brother. Tell, me is today's summons for business or… pleasure?"

I waited smugly for his reply, not missing the tense set of his shoulders and slight shudder at my implication.

"Do not speak to me that way, Caius. I do still deserve some form of respect from you." He continued quickly as I let out a rumbling growl at his insolence. "But today is not a day for reminders; instead I called you here to tell you some very exciting news."

An hour later I left his chambers, very satisfied that Isabella Cullen would soon be within my grasp. Even now, the captives were being separated and broken. By the time I made me move to Isabella, she would welcome what I had in store for her. Her gratitude would be my pleasure.

I swept through the corridors into the viewing room for the dungeon where the three Cullens were being kept. The males had already been removed from the room and Isabella sat alone, chained naked to the bed and blindfolded. I took my time looking over her prone body; she was lovely in every way. My cock throbbed insistently beneath my slacks. I palmed it through the thin cloth as I thought about all the things I could do with a body that fine and unspoiled.

My breathing grew ragged as I neared my release. Soon, so soon, she would be mine. I released my cock from its cloth prison and sped up my movements as I imagined her on her knees before me. She would be my slave and I would have her begging for my cock. I would use her for my own pleasure and she would grow to want it. I groaned her name raggedly as my release burst forth, coming in long spurts over my rapidly pumping hand.

I watched her for a few more moments as I came down from my high. She was obviously sobbing and the trembling of her shoulders caused her breasts to bounce and sway seductively as she pulled against her bonds. I turned away as I began to harden again, cleaning the room quickly. With a spring to my usually somber step, I made my way back to my private chambers. I would shower and then perhaps spend some time with Athenadora. No one could draw pleasure from pain the way my Dora could.

I smiled as I walked. Perhaps Isabella would become a slave to both Dora and myself. Seeing her service my mate would bring almost as much pleasure as being served myself. I would have to discuss my plans with Dora soon.
