Surprise!

By the time Lina made it back to the staff room, everyone was already there. Fully dressed in masquerade attire, she turned to Godric, "What? So I eavesdropped a little.." She smiled as Godric said this. Lina started to pace the floor moments later. One thing she didn't like was waiting and it was a horrible thing to be impatient with someone such as Wesker. He was more of the calculated, take-your-time kind of person and she was more of the gotta-get-everything-done-quick kind. She stood there for a moment wondering what he would look like with the mask on, she smirked. Hmm.. His hair would be the same for sure, but this time no sunglasses… She went further picturing him naked and well muscled, wearing the mask on his penis. A giggling fit soon ensued. Before long, Godric was beside her, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Lina…?"

She was still dazed, he sighed and shook his head, "LINA!"

The sudden piercing sound of Godric's voice woke her up, "Ahhh..?" she smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry… I was just… thinking about how much further we can progress with Wesker's serum.. I-I mean we already have extended the duration to lasting 24 hours now…" Clearing her throat, she smiled lightly, "Is there something wrong…?"

He shook his head, sighing, "That's all well and good but we're gonna have to tell him sometime, I do think he'll be pretty pissed if we keep his progressed serum a secret. He might need it for another mission. Also, I was just.. Well.. Bored since you left. Or were forcefully dragged out.." He smirked, "Is he even coming to this thing? Or did he just dodge the bullet?…he's rather good at that you know."

Lina sucked her teeth, rolling her eyes, "I would think he knows better, I know where his quarters are.."

"Man, have you seen some of the lovely 'hunnies' in here..?!?!" Davis yelled from across the room, waving frantically and pointing to another slim woman with long brown hair in a black dress, her face adorned by one of the many miscellaneous masks Lina had dispensed throughout the crowd.

She suddenly took notice then that Godric wasn't wearing one, punching his arm playfully while waving back politely to Davis, "What's up with you…? Why aren't you wearing your mask?"

"I um.. Just don't want to..? It would be awesome to disguise myself so Wesker couldn't find me and beat me because, I'm sure once he's found out we had made such progress, particularly without his control-freaky authorization, he'll get all glowy eyed just for me! I'd just rather go 'naked'."

Her facial expression went from semi-serious to a grin, bursting at the seams in a split second, she'd inexplicably pictured Wesker again, wearing the same "items" in the same places as in her day dream, she couldn't help but laugh stridently, making some people in the room turn to look at her, she gently wiped tears away, "Oh Goddy… "Naked"? I'm only guessing you mean without the mask, right…?"

Godric laughed, "Of course! You think I'm crazy enough to streak here?!?!" He pointed to Davis for a brief moment, "One, that guy wouldn't let me live it down, he'd tease me constantly and two, the Wesker element and how badly I'd get my ass kicked for indecent exposure." He wiped pretend sweat away from his forehead, suddenly smirking, "But Davis is right, there sure are a lot of hunnies in here!!"

"Oh god, you men are unbelievable…" she shook her head and smiled. Faintly from across the room, she could hear the music playing. Wow, I didn't hear it this whole time.. , "Hey Davis!" she yelled, smiling all the while, "Turn up the music!"

"Will do!" Davis shouted back as he went over to the CD player, turning the volume up.

The music echoed through the room and Lina liked what she heard, Aqualung… I love this song, I'll put a spell on you.. "Goddy! I looove this song, wanna dance?" she smirked, taking his hand and leading him to the center of the floor.

Godric was stunned, but never the less happy to see that nothing managed to dampen Lina's spirit. Being dragged out of the room by Wesker in front of everyone must've been embarrassing. He took her hand and snaked one arm around her waist. Wesker was one lucky son of a bitch, Lina was beautiful, intelligent and fun, he was very lucky to have her, even if she didn't quite have him the same way. But they'd fix that…

Lina smiled lightly, "Your most likely right about what you said earlier…"

"What am I right about now…?" his eyes were widened by the comment.

"About Wesker not coming…" she sighed, "I knew it was too good to be true.."

The grand entrance Wesker made at that moment practically forced everyone to crane their necks to see him. All the girls swooned and bickered excitedly, while Lina was, in another daze, astonished. Somewhat because of how debonair he looked even without wearing the mask's matching suit, but mostly due to lack of sunglasses. He was wearing the mask she gave him! He was so elegant and handsome.. Oh, my lucky day! Hey… I can't believe he always enters when we talk about him…I bet he does it on purpose, that egomaniac just loves to hear his own name! She noticed him look around the crowd, obviously uncertain which one was Lina. She smirked, "Godric, I'm going to dance with Davis.. Alright..?" Ending the dance, Godric nodded as Lina quickly and quietly made her way over to Davis, he could see her lips move, asking Davis to dance while he smiled widely. Davis turned to Godric and have him a thumbs up, Godric shook his head.

A woman walked up to Godric, asking to dance, "Well sure! I'm a professional dancer, you know.." He smirked.

Lina danced with Davis, all the while watching as Wesker pulled Godric from the new woman, telling him something while shaking his finger at him, she giggled, "Davis… look.. Wesker thinks that's me.." Davis turned his head in the direction Lina was looking, they both watched in amazement as Wesker took this girl's hand and danced closely with her, while Godric stood there with his arms crossed, fuming. He turned his head to look at Lina and Davis, he could see they were giggling. Godric pointed to Wesker and mouthed to Lina "Do something.." She shook her head and grinned, finally throwing Godric a bone, Lina motioned to Davis ..

"Wesker!" the call echoed across the room struggling against the music, and hastily Wesker turned to face the oncoming sound.

Davis grinned, "Your dancing with the wrong lady…" He laughed as Wesker's face suddenly turned sour.

Wesker cringed as he slowly turned back to the woman, "You, are not Lina.."

The woman shook her head, lifting her mask ever so slightly. His face suddenly went red, either in anger or in embarrassment which would have been a newfound emotion. He suddenly dropped his hands from her, turning to Godric before walking away, "Carry on!" he said, giving Godric the go ahead before heading over to Lina and Davis. He walked more rapid and threatening.

Lina smirked before Wesker got to her, as he stopped abruptly in front of Davis, "I'm cutting in.." He outstretched his hand for Lina, which she gladly accepted, also turning to Davis, "Thank you for the dance."

Davis gulped before heading to the other side of the room, surprised and fortunate that Wesker was uncharacteristically being so lenient. Davis sought the punch table to wash his heart back down his throat.

"You look beautiful Lina…" the words caught her off guard as Wesker swayed her in his arms to the music.

..Floating here like this with you

Underneath the stars

Alight for 13 billion years

The view is beautiful

And ours alone tonight

Underneath the stars..

She smiled, "You really think so…?" briefly looking down at herself before her eyes wandered back to his.

He nodded, his movements were so quick but soft, making her head swirl in a dizzying and satisfying effect, "You really do."

"Well, you look amazing.." She got up on her tip toes for a quick moment to whisper delicately in his ear, "Albert…"

He felt the hot breath against his neck and ear, making him shudder in delight. He sighed lightly while his mind swam with explicit thoughts.

The song had ended and a more upbeat dance track came on. Wesker spun Lina around so her back was facing him, he pulled her in closer, his one hand closely entwined with hers and his other holding her abdomen. He swayed with her quickly, planting his face close to the back of her head while his hot breath now caressed her neck, he smirked as she leaned back into it.

Lina sighed with pleasure, never in a million years would she picture herself in this position with a man like Wesker. As she swayed with him, she suddenly felt a poke in the back of her. Her eyes widened once she knew what it was, when she gasped she heard Wesker chuckle darkly. It seemed as if Wesker's urges were displayed in other places, with the sudden rise of attention coming from his pants. In complete shock, Lina was preparing to faint.

Wesker must've felt this and gave them some space, he smiled, "Are you alright…?"

She nodded frantically, her eyes still wide in shock, "Um… I-I didn't… know that I had that effect on you…"

He chuckled, "Well, now you know.." His face turned serious, "Just don't go telling Godric or any of your other hoodlum friends.."

Snapping out of the shock, she smiled lightly, "Oh don't worry they don't need to know… they'd most likely get jealous of you anyway.." she shrugged a bit.

"I know… I'm just that sexy.." He almost cackled in contentment, using both hands to push back his already smoothed blonde hair arrogantly.

"Why do you always smooth your hair back..?" she looked at him inquisitively, "I mean, is it a habit..?"

He nodded lightly, "It tends to take over your thought process and without knowing, you end up doing it subconsciously."

She smiled lightly, "Oh.. Well, I do things like that sometimes. Like playing with my hair.. Sometimes I even chew on it.." her mouth opened slightly, in shock that she'd tell him something so very personal without even a thought.

Wesker laughed, "Ah I see, well I think it'd be better to chew a pencil then hair. Yours is too beautiful to ruin.." He was amazed by her and how she had such an effect on him in such a short time. I have to admit to myself sooner or later.. I.. love her.. He had been deliberating on telling her when he left for Rockfort Island. He just thought it to be too soon to say such things without even thinking about the consequences or if it would work out. She would be in the way a lot and there would be many chances for someone to kidnap and blackmail me with her, resulting in chaos and disruption of my plans… is that a risk I'm willing to take for her..?

Inhaling her scent was all to familiar with him now, he'd do this any chance he got. His mind always clearing of any present worries once he breathed her in. He sighed, while his body so badly yearned for her, he needed to come to terms with how he was feeling and compose it. That would be the only way his plans could work. He wanted her and he had to have her tonight, "Lina…? How long is this party supposed to be..?"

"Why do you ask..?" Her eyebrows were raised in question, "Did you need to leave..?"

He shook his head, trying to sound convincing enough, "No, I just thought if everyone stayed up too late… they wouldn't work efficiently tomorrow.. Shall we end this and retire for the night…?"

Lina gulped, okay did he just say "we"? A polite smile disguised the feelings of worry that tore into her, "I think that would be best.." She escaped quickly from the embrace, her arm was suddenly caught by his hand.

"Where are you going..?" he purred closely in her hear, suddenly inches away from her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, the result of his breath again on her sent shivers through her body. She wondered what was up with him..? Why is he talking so seducti-- Oh… crap..

She faltered, stuttering lightly, "I-I umm… Was going to tell everyone to go now..?" Lina was wide-eyed and confused, "Did you not want me to..?"

Wesker nodded with a grin, "I changed my mind, let them have their fun.. You and I my dear Lina… we have something to talk about…"

As he led her through the crowd, trying not to attract any attention, she watched him. It was something she loved to do, almost like a hobby. Lina loved being near him, feeling the air between them forever intense. She always wondered what kind of man she would attract and feeling that the outcome right now wasn't bad, she was content in herself. Her thoughts were quickly banished as they neared his quarters, stopping briefly at the door, "What's going on, Albert..?" she probed, now that no one was around she was ecstatic she could call him by his first name.

He smirked, his eyes transfixed on her, "Lina…" was all that he uttered before opening the door, leading her in to the room. Closing the door, he turned to her as she walked over to his bed, he took off his mask, "Lina… I can't help but think that kiss was a mistake…" He sighed, coming to rest beside her, placing the mask on the table, "You're an employee and something like this can't be tolerated.. I have to take action."

Lina glared at him, "A mistake..?" She clenched her fist, taking off her mask while placing it on the table, "No, a mistake is when I mix two vials in the wrong batch together, a mistake is when Godric lets the Hunters out. That kiss.." she turned her head away, shamed at the sight of him, "That kiss was not a mistake, it was more like a miracle.." She paused for a brief moment, turning slightly to look down at his hands, "Then again, I'm sure you don't believe in miracles.. You don't believe in anything but yourself and what you need to become.." Looking up at him for a brief moment, her eyes brimming with tears.

That's all it took, one tiny frown from her sent him over the edge. He couldn't stand her being distressed, it ripped at his heart with great agony, "Then… I guess I'm going to make another miracle happen.."

Suddenly, the room fell silent and in one quick motion, Wesker had pulled her onto his lap, moving strands away from her face. He smiled before claiming her lips, licking them lightly with flicks of his tongue. As he kissed her passionately, he moved one hand to the small of her back pressing her closer to him. Wanting to feel her exquisitely soft skin against his no matter what the cost.

She pushed her hands against his chest lightly to end the kiss, "W-what are you…?"

He smirked, pressing his finger to her lips, "Shh… hush, my pet.. We both need this right now.." When she nodded in agreement he smiled widely, removing his finger from her lips and placing his hand back on her neck, tipping her slightly lower to intensify his kiss. He wanted her, not even knowing how badly as his hand slipped higher to the back of her zipper, slowly undoing her silky dress.

Lina moaned lightly into his mouth, not being able to close her eyes for a moment. As the kiss ended, his gaze captured her fully. She was almost immobilized laying there in his arms as he stripped her, leaving her mentally shocked and physically in naught but knee high stockings and her undergarments. The goose bumps slowly rose on her skin as he tossed the dress to the floor, his eyes wandering her hungrily as he moved slightly to pick her up and lay her on the bed.

"Your beautiful, Lina…" he smiled, towering over top of her, a hand on either side of her head. Leaning in to kiss her, he held himself up with one hand as the free hand roamed her body. Touching, feeling, stroking.. He didn't want to stop any of it, her body was so soft and sultry.

Stopping him briefly to undo her bra, take off her stockings and to escape from the underwear covering what he wanted most. She smirked, finally working up the courage to do anything to him. I may as well, I love the guy.. And I'm sure he wants to fuck my brains out.. It's been awhile since I had anything sexual anyway. Her arms wrapped around his strong neck, she pulled him down closer to her now exposed body while heat emanated from her, whispering in his ear, "Why do you get to keep your clothes on, that's not very fair… I want it off.." She grinned widely.

Wesker looked at her through lustful eyes, he licked his lips, "Life's not fair, pet.. But I believe I did promise you a miracle.. So as you wish, but only this time.." He chuckled darkly as he got off of her, standing up in front of the bed as he slowly took off his coat, slowly unbuckled his belt while expertly kicking off his boots. He finished with his pants and shirt, revealing a well muscled man, who was well endowed. He was completely naked in front of a woman for the first time in centuries, it felt.

Lina almost went in shock, He's so sexy. God, I want to fuck him now! Her lust clouded over her judgment as she got up and practically jumped him, crushing her lips to his while she wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her up by her backside, his immense strength making it easy to hold her at all, that and the fact that she weighed next to nothing. His groin pressed against her, making him shudder while a moan was heard from Lina's soft lips, "Are.. You ready for this, Lina…?" he asked delicately, showing Lina a side she'd never seen before. She expected him to be rough and tumble but he was actually quite gentle with her, she was somewhat disappointed with that but was equally happy with not being beaten up. She giggled lightly at the thought, "Hun… I've been ready for ya since I first saw you…" A grin plastered on her face as she released her legs, her feet gently touching the ground.

Wesker smiled as she led him to the bed, pushing him down with some force that he didn't think she had. He thought Lina was strong willed but weak physically, obviously that was a great misconception. He felt her straddle him, anchoring herself above him slightly, which made him tense. I'm usually in control, this isn't something I was expecting..

"The question is, are you ready for this Albert…?" she smiled lightly, rubbing a hand along his hard chest, waiting impatiently for his answer. He just smirked confidently, not answering her question. He still wanted to give the implication that he was in control. He ran his hands up and down her sides, squeezing her thighs lightly.

Lina deliberated for a moment before taking him into her forcefully without consent. The look on Wesker's face was priceless, or so she thought. His eyes were wide, mouth agape, and for the first time she could swear he was actually surprised. She bit her lip and moaned in satisfaction, noticing that he was smiling with lustful eyes, she stopped abruptly, "Is there something the matter…?"

Wesker smirked, taking her waist and pulling her body down forcefully to his, continuing that cycle, "You're a rough little woman, aren't you..?" He said, his voice slightly breaking from his labored breathing. He enjoyed this. He also enjoyed and took pride in the fact that the woman that he loved was so forceful even when she knew what and who he was, "Do you really want to try that persona on..? Because I can most guarantee I can break you of that…"

She scoffed, still continuing with the pace, quickening it slightly. Her own breath soon becoming labored, "I'd like to see you try, hun.." she'd come to love teasing him, it was another of her "Albert Wesker" hobbies. Her heart raced at the thought of being on top of him, she'd never thought this would happen.

Suddenly he pulled her off of him without much effort, pushing her down to lay on the bed. He smirked, in a matter of seconds he'd managed to change positions, spreading her legs apart as she lay there stunned. He entered her with a moan escaping his lips as his thrust slowly deepened, leaning in for a moment, he whispered in her ear, "Don't ever underestimate me, my darling…"

"I can't believe.. You just.." she managed through pants, she was close.

Almost as if on queue, Wesker increased his thrusts, giving her what she so longed for. The smile he gave was seductive, "Is this what you want..?" he purred.

Lina moaned in response, arching her back slightly. A wave of pleasure soon consumed her as she released, goose bumps covering her body. She sighed lightly, "Albert hunny… please come for me…"

He bit his lip instinctively, drawing a bit of blood. He groaned in satisfaction as he released soon after, his heart beating rapidly. Wesker pulled out slowly, laying himself beside her. The bliss he felt was indescribable, Godric was obviously right.

"Awww, Albert… your bleeding. Here, let me.." she turned to face him, bringing her head up slowly to kiss his bloody lip.

He stopped her abruptly, holding her face gently in his hands, "No… Lina it's best if you don't. You don't want to end up like me, now do you…?" He frowned, thinking of how she would end up. If she turns out like me that would be better then actually dying from the virus..

She sighed while looking into his now saddened eyes, "I'm sorry, Albert… I didn't mean to make you upset.." Lightly touching his face, she smiled, "Does that mean I can't kiss you until it heals..?"

He chuckled, looking at her, "Unfortunately, but don't worry.. It won't take long to heal, maybe a day at the most." He sighed, laying on his back, staring at the ceiling, "Lina..?"

"Yes..?" she said as she wriggled closer to him, her arm draping over his chest which slowly turned into an embrace. She lay her head on his chest waiting anxiously to hear what he had to say.

He shook his head and looked down at her, "Nothing my sweet, just rest. You've had a long day… as have I.." He leant down, kissing her forehead gently, "Goodnight.."

Lina yawned while giving him a quick 'goodnight'. She hugged him closer to her, kissing his chest lightly before falling asleep.

Once he heard her breathing slow to a constant pace, he sighed. She's asleep now, I can get up... I need to clear my head.. He slowly untangled himself from her embrace, getting up from the bed and picking up his boxers and pants. He put them on, tightening his belt around his waist, then making his way to his "brooding" chair. As Wesker sat down, he looked at Lina laying there and frowned. What the hell did I just do..? He turned away, rubbing his temples. I need to take my dose again…He shook his head from all other thoughts, concentrating on finding his coat… His night wasn't over…

AN: Interesting enough..? I hope so.. Hehe... Let's just say what I have planned for the next chapter.. is going to be interesting! Arigatou gozaimasu for reading and staying with the story so far!
