Daddy's Girl

Episode Two

"I should go." She whispered softly. The second the words left her lips, his arms wrapped tighter around her.

"You should stay."

"No," She said. "Cinder will be looking for me, and Mercury might literally kill me for disappearing on him." She didn't see the muscle tick in his jaw at the mention of the other man's name.

The sun was just beginning to peek from over the horizon and the lights filtered through the trees across her body like glitter. Emerald tried to pull the sheet around her, but he yanked it from her hands. "Adam!" She said her hand flying up to cover her breasts.

"Get over here." He said gesturing to the spot where she previously lay. Instead of reclaiming that place, she crawled on top of him straddling his hips. Her hands still shielded him from looking at her breasts. "Darling, I have already seen and tasted all of you."

"So?" She said pouting.

"No need to be shy." he slightly raised himself up to face her. He toyed with one of her long strands. Twirling it around his fingers, he watched the orchestra of emotions play across her face. Her eyes were fixed on the colors before them. The brightness of the sun burned away the inky indigo night igniting the skies.

"Beautiful," She whispered. He could tell that something was bothering her, but he didn't know if he wanted find out what it was. Instead of asking he kissed her, but she craned away from his touch. "It's times like this where I wonder- If I'm wasting my time."

The idea drifted into his mind that maybe she was questioning her leader's intent, but she was abundantly clear. There was only one other thing that she could be talking about.

"Why would you think that?" He said cupping her face.

"Don't play stupid, Adam. When this started, you were in love with someone, and I was-" She gulped. "haunted. I don't want to look back at this and think about how stupid I was."

"Do you feel stupid? Being here with me?" Adam was sitting up completely now. She silently shook her head as he reached up to cup her face. "I was in love with someone, but that kind of love had been tarnished by betrayal."

"You're right." She sighed trying to ignore the feeling overcoming her. "That being said I still have to go." She said. Her scroll vibrated through the sheets. her hands rustled through them until coming into to contact with the device. It was Neo, warning her of Cinder looking for her. "Shit! She's already looking for me."

A sly smile crossed his face as he let her flee. It wouldn't be long until he saw her again.

Neo was bored.

Where had the amusement gone?

She was sure that once Mercury came back to the Dorms he would be in a blind rage wrecking the entire place, or he would a least be turned on. Grimm knows, she was when she first caught a glimpse of it. However, here he was just as calm as ever.

Maybe this is a defense mechanism. He could be pissed, but just hiding it.

She smiled to herself as she sensed Emerald's entrance. Not even a second later, she waltzed in before looking around the room wildly.

"Where's Cinder?"

Gone. Emerald rolled her eyes at the petite girl before plopping onto her bed obviously tired.

"Merc-throw me the charger." She said staring at her scroll that was minutes away from dying.

"Nope." He said. Her head whipped to the side to glare at him, but he was completely unbothered as he flipped through a book. A BOOK? Since when did he read?

"Mercury," She said through clenched teeth. He tilted his chin in her direction not wanting to take his gaze from the pages that he cared nothing about. He could see her eyes narrow at him. His lips threatened to smirk.

Neo watched on curiously. This could be entertaining.

"Hand me the charger please." She asked though her tone was betraying the gentleness of her kind words.

"Why don't you come and get it Emmy." His eyes briefly looked at her before returning to whatever it was he was reading. "You have working legs right?"

Neo nearly howled. It was a blur of movement. Emerald lunged at her partner. Her hands swung at his head. In an effort to still her hands, he grabbed at her forearms. His arms brushed passed her bra. She nearly froze as a moan was stuck in her throat. Mercury smiled.

That area was still so sensitive and nearly raw, but it didn't stop her from grabbing his neck. He mirrored her actions. This time he grazed the bite mark on her neck.

"Fuck," She said and instantly regretted the way it came out. Crimson eyes widened in shock.

Neo's eyebrows nearly shot off her face. That was definitely a moan. I bet Mercury is already hard. hehe

"What was that Emmy?" He teased before pinning her to the ground. His grip tightened around her neck. The tenderness was making her body heat up all over again. She bit down on her full lip to stifle that moan. Her eyes not once meeting his.

She could feel his bionic legs spread hers and her limbs refuse to do anything about it. Finally her eyes snapped open to see a foreign look on his face. He looked stunned and possessed at the same time. It took everyone but Neo several moments to realize that Cinder had walked in.

She cleared her throat making her presence known. "We have a meeting to prepare for, but first, you two have a class to attend. You aren't even in uniform." She dismissed herself before she could scold them. She constantly had to stop herself from treating them like her children. Neo followed her out of the room.

She shoved her partner off her so that she could get dressed snatching her charger from the wall as she did it. "Thanks Merc. You're so helpful."

Unfortunately, she had thought she was dark enough that hickeys wouldn't be a problem for her. Why did she cut her hair? The uniform did nothing to cover them, and she wasn't going to walk around with her collar up like an idiot all day.

Normally She'd love all eyes on her, but this was something else. The bimbo wouldn't stop smirking at her, and Ruby was blushing like... well a school girl. How old are these kids anyway? All of their annoying little gasps and worse the pleased looks on some of their faces had her about to snap in the middle of the lecture until a small neatly folded note was slid to her. She glared at the silver-haired annoyance. "It's not from me." He chuckled before adding in a whisper. "It looks like you've got more than one secret admirer." His breath on the shell of her ear gave her all of the wrong feelings. Then she realized who he was pointing at.

It was the bitchy one who looked innocent. She shrugged her shoulders and nodded in approval. They had something in common. She unfolded the pristine note.

-I know a trick with concealer that will hide that- Emerald resisted the urge to roll her eyes out of habit. She elbowed Mercury when he tried to look at it.

-I kind of ran out mine. It's super hard to fine my shade, so I have to order it and have it mailed. I'm completely SOL.- Once she finished she had it delivered back to the white one. Mercury wouldn't stop wiggling his eyebrows. She wanted to smack the stupid things off his face, but before she knew the note was in front of her again.

-I know what you mean. I've seen a million shades of white. LOL but make sure Mercury doesn't leave permanent bruises. You have really nice skin for a Huntress. ;D-

Emerald's cheeks grew hot. It could have just been a genuine compliment. She shook it off.

-Thanks. It try to keep moisturized and hydrated, but Mercury didn't do it. It's a very long story- One she doesn't care to tell especially with an eavesdropping idiot next to her. -What made you think, Merc did it?-She handed the note to her left before bringing her attention back to the lecture. Why would she think Mercury left hickeys on her? She glanced at the man in question who looked extremely bored.

He was lounging in the separate hideout nursing a beer with his old friend when they heard heels lightly tapping towards them. She braced her hands on her hips. "Is there a reason for you being here early?" He said not bothering gaze her way.

"I don't know if you forgot this or not, but my subordinates are just that- My Subordinates." He held a finger up to stop her.

"She's not your subordinate. She's your partner. You came looking for her. She didn't beg or ask you for anything. Excuse me if I'm a little confused on how that makes you her superior." She shifted in her stance only slightly.

"That boils down to a little thing called power and who has it. She knows who is capable of giving her everything she's ever wanted." He snorted, and rage shot through her. Her eyes almost went gold before she remembered their deal.

Adam wanted to push her closer to the edge, but decided to leave it be. He didn't want Emerald to suffer because of his words. His mind wandered to her and before he knew it his scroll was in his hands. He wanted to send her something, but trashed the thought.

"You want a drink?" Junior offered.

"I want Adam to keep his hands off my subordinates." That statement earned a laugh from both men.

"She's the only person with the power," He said with heavy emphasis on the word. "to decide that. I doubt she will." He said haughtily. Everyone's gaze turned towards the person approaching them.

"Well, well, well. Drinking without me?" As if she couldn't get anymore annoyed.

"Roman." She said in warning.

"Was I interrupting something important?" He pretended to back off before brushing past her.

"Not at all. We have a meeting to discuss our efforts."

"Right," He said in awe. "I did get that message. Where are the children?"

"They're not children, Roman."

"What ever." He said twirling his cane dismissively.

She packed up her things pretending like she didn't notice the girl until she felt a hand on her arm.

"I don't think we've formally met. I'm Weiss Schnee."

"I'm Emerald." She said offering a smile.

"I know of a small place in town that might carry some concealer in your skin tone. It's a long shot, but it's worth a try. Especially if it will keep these idiots out of your business." She said. Her head whipped around to glare at one of the students who refused to stop looking at her. That is until she shot her icy glare at him. Emerald was impressed as she watched the kid scramble to get out of the room.

"Wow. How do you know so much about these." She said flashing her a glance at the love bites.

"Holy!" She instantly reprimanded herself for the outburst. "Sorry about that but- hold on." She whipped out her scroll the take a picture to show her. "Look you actually have scars from his teeth pulling at your skin."

"Fuck," She muttered. Cinder will freak.

"I'm used to these-" She pulled down the front of her uniform showing her the small cluster of hickeys trailing down her breasts. Emerald was thoroughly impressed.

"Who did those?" She smirked. Weiss was appalled.

"A lady never kisses and tells."

"Neptune!" Weiss' stomach nearly bottomed out. Emerald called to the guy who was bracing himself at the door. She looked back at Weiss who's mouth was agape before winking. After exchanging a few words the man in question left. She returned to Emerald. "I won't tell, but why did you think Mercury did it?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Confusion settled in as the master thief glanced at the assassin who was occupied with admiring his boots. Weiss rolled her eyes. "He's always eye-fucking you, and sometimes you do it back. Its... entertaining." She giggled. After writing down the address to the makeup store she left.

"Are you done flirting?" Mercury asked. Onyx eyes noticed the paper she slid into her back pocket. "Don't forget we have a meeting to attend." He said just to add on another level of annoyance.

"Could at least teach your children time management skills?" Roman snapped after looking at his watch."

"Roman," She said tuning up her charisma. "I will make sure to do that... after I teach you manners."

"We're here, Cinder." Emerald called. "The class lasted longer than we thought."

"You clearly didn't have time to change out of your uniforms either."

She was silent as she could feel his gaze on her. Instead of trying to pull the skirt down, her mind pondered how to subtly lift it.

The meeting was beyond boring. Mercury tried to focus, but his palms itched as he pretended like the awkwardness didn't phase him. Even with his mask on, he could easily tell where his eyes were directed. A muscle ticked in the mercenary's jaw.

"Why does Lieu look constipated?" She said reigning in her chuckle, so she wouldn't disturb the conversation at hand. Dark gray eyes looked to his left, and sure enough the guy was stiff as a board. The mask did nothing to hide his rigidness. She melted through his tenseness, and Mercury smiled. Lieutenant's head whipped in their direction. "Oh my Oum, he heard us!" She whispered before pressing her lips into a line.

"I don't think so." Mercury whispered.

"I think-"

"Is there something you lovebirds want to share with the class?" Roman asked.

"How about you mind your business?" Emerald snapped.

"Is that anyway to talk to Daddy?"

Her eyes went wide as saucers. She stepped towards him, but Mercury pulled her back.

"It is obvious that this meeting is not going to be productive. How about we have short recess? After that we need to make sure we aren't leaving any loose ends." Cinder said sauntering off.

Once she was gone, she glared at the orange-haired man. She could slap the eyeliner right off his smug face. "Don't be like that." He said with a satisfied smirk on his face. Her face softened then he felt it. The air shifted behind him and the cold metal of her blade was pressed to his neck. His eye twitched as he realized he was caught in her hallucination.

"Do what?" She cooed before letting him go. "Too easy." She sighed.

She wandered around the hideout hoping he would follow her. She turned a dark corner and hit the wall hard. Stumbling backwards she felt strong arms grasp her. She was face to face with his mask. He didn't say a word as he backed her up against the wall.

"What the hell are you doing?" She said almost below a whisper.

"We need to talk. Your time with your leader is coming to a quick end." Her brow furrowed in confusion. Her fingers ached to pull off the mask to see if he was serious.

"Is there a problem?" Everything about the woman was dark. Even her voice had the dreadful effect.

"No, Ma'am." Cinder said shaking her head.

"Then why am I being summoned when my plan is so close to completion?" The brunette temptress looked away from her scrutiny.

"I think we might have a few members slipping-"

"You think?" She asked sharply. "You doubt yourself?"

"No, that's not it. There is another factor that might push my subordinates away from me." There was a pregnant pause. The older woman would have been annoyed, but the concern was genuine.

"I see. There is a reason for them being here. In the end you have to remember why and do whatever it takes to secure that. Only those willing to prove their ambition will achieve greatness. Do you understand?"

"Yes Salem."

"Good."
