Chapter 10- World on Fire

-Josef's Office-
(Josef's POV)

I normally got to work around 3:30, but I was running late today. When I stepped off the elevator the place was empty as usual. It wasn't until I got nearly halfway down the hallway when I heard it. A heart beat. It was calm and steady, and it was coming from my office. I stood outside my door and inhaled. That's when I smelt her.

Antoinette had a certain smell, she smelt of strawberries and coffee. The strawberry was her shampoo, and the coffee, well; she lived off the stuff so I guess after a while the smell just binds to you.

When I opened the door I was a little more than surprised to see the way she was dressed. I knew it showed on my face.

"Nothing like shocking a 400 year old vampire to make a girl feel better about herself." She cocked her head to the side in a playful way. I smirked at her. She was lounged out on my couch, wearing a next-to-nothing dress, her hair was its natural curl, and her face was bare of all make-up.

To put it simply, she looked amazing.

"I wasn't expecting to see you here."

She smiled again.

"Obviously."

She stood up and walked over to me, even with the heels she was wearing, I towered over her.

She place her hands gently on my shoulders and stood on her tips toes, she whispered in my ear. "So, I know when a guy is horny he can take a cold shower...but what do vampires do?"

I smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know."

She gave me an evil grin and ran her hands down my chest.

"I could find out if I wanted to."

"You could try."

The look she gave me was pure sex. "Why? When you're already getting there from just looking at me."

I glared at her, she just laughed. "Please Josef, I don't have to be a vampire to read what your eyes are saying."

"Really, what are they saying?"

"You want me, I know you do, and I want you too, that's obvious, because otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"So what are we waiting for?"

She smiled. "I don't know, what are you waiting for?"

I smirked again; she ran her hands up my neck and into my hair. The next thing I knew, we were kissing, she had my shirt half off, and I was working on getting her dress undone. I liked where this was going.

Then suddenly, as if a switch was flipped, she pulled back.

"Good, glad I got that out of my system."

She walked away from me and grabbed her purse. She was nearly to the door before I realized what happened.

"What the fuck was that?!"

She turned back; my office door was already opened.

"It sucks to be toyed with doesn't it?"

And with that, she was gone.

I didn't even try going after her, I was in to much shock. I knew she was spiteful, but shit. That was just wrong.

-Toni's Car-
(Toni's POV)

I love the fact that I have that kind of effect on him. The only problem was the effect he had on me as well.

I can't even begin to explain how hard it was to pull away from that kiss. It was nearly impossible, but I knew I had to get my point across, and I'm pretty sure it worked.

I was planning on spending the whole weekend in California, maybe going by to see my dad. That part I wasn't entirely sure about. If he wanted to see me, wouldn't he have called me or something?

When I got back to my hotel, I thanked God that my shower had plenty of freezing cold water. I swear that man could look at me a certain way and I would need a cold shower. I felt like a needed a few buckets of ice thrown in there as well.

When I had told my mom what I was doing, she bet me 100 dollars that I wouldn't be able to walk away from him. So two good things came from today. I got to sexually torture Josef, and I got 100 bucks for it.

Yes, today was turning out to be a great day.

As soon as I got out of the shower, I grabbed my phone. I had a new voice mail. Josef's angry voice came through my phone.

"You are such a bitch."

I laughed so hard that I nearly passed out. Poor Josef, he sounded unbelievably wound up.
