t was a rainy day in the Hamptons. Perfect day for a funereal, Emily thought while pulling a cake out the oven. She hadn't been to any funereal parties much less hosted one for a dead fiance. She figured that there should be some sort of food but she wasn't sure that this cake would be the best option.
Nolan was supposed to come pick her up and take her to the funereal. By the time she had laid the cake on the able he was walking through the door and straight into a balloon.
"Ems, really? Balloons?" Nolan asked her, dodging balloons.
"Is it too much? Should it say sorry you died or something like that? What about the cake?" Emily asked him, popping the balloons.
"Ems you don't need decorations for a funereal party and I'm not even going to try the cake. Look quit worrying, I'll get the caterers who work Nolcorp's parties to whip up something." Nolan told her.
He noticed Emily's usually steady hand shaking as she missed a balloon and sent the pin into the wall, cursing under her breath.
"Emily are you seriously worrying about Victoria resisting your charms? She'll be like putty in your hands." Nolan said.
"Thanks Nolan," Emily said pulling on a green cardigan that was draped on the couch "anyway we have to get to Daniel's funereal."
Nolan cleared his throat and said "Emily maybe a black cardigan would work better."
Emily looked down, sighed and rushed upstairs to change.
Nolan was worried about Emily. He had never seen her this worried about a mission before and it was getting him worried.
After a very restless car ride the two had finally arrived at the church. People had turned out in hundreds to say good-bye to Daniel. Nolan helped Emily out the car, sheltering her under his umbrella from the rain and the nosy press that had turned up.
Emily slid into the pew, next to Victoria. "Victoria," Emily greeted her somberly, resting her hand on top the older woman's.
She had expected Victoria to recoil and say something snarky but was only met with Victoria's blank expression.
Emily took a minute to really study Victoria. Her long tresses fell is soft brown waves around her face. Her eyes were a warm brown and held a gaze full of mistrust and skin was perfect and creamy, she had soft, full and pink lips that Emily could already feel on her's.
Emily mentally cursed herself, why was she looking forward to what might happen tonight so much. She had spent most her life hating this woman and when she could get her hands on her, she was going to enjoy it on a level more than just happiness at getting revenge.
She'd spent the service looking down into her lap and was only jolted from her thoughts when Victoria's hand disappeared from underneath her's.
People had started filing out the church in numbers. Emily quickly stood up to let out the remainder of the Grayson family. She allowed herself one moment to study Victoria's figure as she got up. Victoria was wearing an abnormally short black dress that ended above her knees. Emily wouldn't admit but she wanted her body pressed against Victoria's.
After a dull burial most of the cars went to Emily's house to sit around sadly and drink to their heart's desire or a funereal party if they prefer the classy term.
The food was already laid on the table and the caterers had sent someone to set up and work a bar. For this Emily was grateful. She snapped her fingers and Nolan and pointed at Victoria. Nolan got the message and escorted her to the bar.
People had slowly started to trickle out, Conrad had to leave early, said her had work to do. Charlotte was next she had wanted to go and rest, she wasn't feeling well and thought it would be bad for the baby.
Nolan was over at the mantle drinking scotch and looking at a crooked picture of Daniel. "The best ones always go too soon." he muttered sarcastically. Emily ignored him and fixed the picture.
"How drunk is she?" Emily asked, turning her gaze onto Victoria.
"In my opinion not drunk enough, but if you want to make a first move go ahead." Nolan said downing his beverage.
Emily went over to where Victoria was drinking and trailed her fingers along Victoria's shoulders. The older woman was sitting on a stool at the bar and towering above her gave Emily a feeling of dominance.
This made Victoria turn to face her, her steely eyes locked onto Emily's. "I don't see why you are still here Emily, Daniel's," Victoria paused before continuing "dead. You never loved him, the charade is over so you might as well leave."
Emily took a deep breath before responding "Victoria, I did love your s-" but was cut off by Victoria throwing her drink in Emily's face.
Emily gave Victoria a coy smile, she was glad Victoria was showing her difficult side. It would make it much more rewarding when she took her down.
Nolan rushed over to Emily. "It seems your plan isn't working out." he whispered.
"Oh? It isn't? I think its going exactly as planned." Emily answered him before going upstairs to change.
When she came back down Nolan gave a big smile before saying "bad girl."
Emily had let her hair down and changed into a short, black strapless dress but there were only two people in the room to see her in it and one wasn't facing her.
Emily went over to Victoria. When Nolan saw this he quietly let himself out hoping that things would go as Emily had planned.
Victoria was now sitting on the couch, her head turned away from Emily. Emily sat down next to her.
"Victoria," she purred into her ear "You look sad, I think I can cheer you up." Emily had started softly nibbling on Victoria's earlobe, not stopping when Victoria's body went rigid. Since Victoria didn't move, Emily stretched her leg across Victoria's body and pulled her in closer.
"You would like that, right Victoria?" Emily purred.
Taking it as a good sign that Victoria hadn't slapped her, Emily removed her leg and let her hand wander underneath Victoria's dress. Her fingertips slowly traced Victoria's thigh. Suddenly her hand was dislodged and Victoria straddled Emily's hips.
Emily looked up into Victoria's eyes expecting to find diluted hatred but instead saw plain vulnerability and just like that something in Emily evaporated.
Surprisingly to Emily Victoria made the first move by pressing her lips against Emily's. Emily could feel Victoria's tongue asking for entrance which she happily granted. Emily's hands roamed along Victoria's curves pressing the older woman as close to her as possible.
Victoria's hands cupped Emily's face and she deepened the kiss. The two continued passionately for a few minutes before Emily broke away.
"Are you sure?" she breathed out heavily.
Victoria gave her a soft bite on Emily's bottom lip as her response and Emily grabbed Victoria's hands and led her upstairs.
