A/N: Ty for all the reviews, to answer some review questions, yes she was pissed about the blood and that's why the Viking got thrown into a wall, more on that will be explained as well. I hope you like where I take this in this chapter! On with the show. : )
Previously:
"Shit Eric, I'm sorry, I… didn't mean… I mean I meant to… but not.." I grabbed her hair and forced her mouth onto mine. Finally, finally one mystery was solved. She wasn't my little bird at all, she was my little fairy. Fuck it's good to be me!
Chapter 5:
EPOV:
As she pulled away from my lips, I left my hand in her hair. She tried to look angry but I could feel her amusement at the situation. I little woman put a thousand year old Viking on his ass, even I could see the humor in that.
"So I almost throw you through a wall and your response to all that is to kiss me? And I don't have to guess where that mouth of yours has been tonight." I felt her disgust but I also felt her mischievousness, I could play along with this little game. I pulled her hair a little harder and brought her ear to my mouth. I teased her earlobe with a fang and whispered.
"I can give you a private demonstration, why don't you hop on my desk so I can get started?" the arousal I smelled and felt mixed with the drop of blood I got from nicking her lobe with my fang was almost too much. She jerked away from me and I let her go. Her eyes were wide as she stood up from where she had knelt beside me. Time for a distraction.
"So, who in your family decided it was wise to fuck a fairy?" and that did what it was intended to do. I managed to take focus off the exchange that just took place and confuse her all in one sentence.
"What the hell are you talking about? I know vampires heal fast but can y'all get brain damage?" I felt no deceit in her at all, she really didn't know.
"The only being I know that can use that kind of power are the fae." she sits down on the couch in a huff, I get up off the floor and join her. The room sat in silence for so long when she spoke again it startled me.
"Fairies are real, I'm a fucking fairy, well that's just great!" she buried her face in her hands and sat there for a minute before her head snapped up.
"Gran! that's why she didn't freak out about the wolves, she's known this whole time! Oh, her and I a re going to have a talk when I get home." I looked at her.
"Well anyone who has seen that power would have known." she felt a little bit of guilt.
"It just started about a month ago when I was in California, I haven't shown anyone yet. I've been practicing, I can call it to me if I focus, but the power levels and force are becoming tricky. Like just now I only wanted to zap you a little but I was so angry that you got a big dose. I didn't have time to react when the bitch pounced on me or I wouldn't have been messed up as bad as I was." I was curious and I had to ask.
"Why would you keep it a secret? I'm sure you could help defend the pack better if they knew." she snorted
"Yea after having to answer a million questions, and I get that enough with my telepathy. I help people and I try to keep the peace. I don't get mixed up in their fights unless it happens while I am there to get information like tonight. Like I wasn't enough of a freak before being a telepath, now I'm a freaking fairy!" the honesty she felt when she called her self a freak angered me enough to make me pause before I said.
"there may be more powers depending on who your related to." she threw herself back against the couch and closed her eyes. She felt defeated and I found I didn't care for that emotion with in her. She ran her hand over her face and asked.
"Do you have a shirt I could wear?" I knew the next words out of my mouth could back fire on me, but any mood would be better than this. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a shirt.
"I would prefer you wear nothing at all, but if you insist then here." I tossed her the shirt and it had the desired affect, she laughed and pulled off the cut shirt to replace it with the new one, not even bothering to cover her magnificent breasts in the process. Images poured into my mind, her breast in my mouth as my fangs sank into them, my mouth on her femoral. I shuddered in want.
"You wanna tell me why you needed my help?" I looked up from her breasts to find her smirking at me, I cleared my throat even though I had no need to.
"Someone stole sixty thousand dollars from me and I need your help to find out who." she nodded then tilted her head to the side.
"Who brought it to your attention? Was it taken all at once or was it over a period of time? Have any of your human employees quit recently without notice?" I thought for a moment and answered.
"My accountant brought it to my attention. It was taken all at once and we have the same employees we've had for a while, why?" she looked to be deep in thought for five minutes she didn't say anything then she laughed a little bit.
"If I wave my normal fee and do this, would you do me a favor?" I raised a brow at her.
"Depending on the favor." she nodded.
"A friend of mine went off to war, sometimes he loses himself in the memories from that time, screaming and carrying on about insurgents and then hiding in the woods for days on end. They say he has PTSD, but I have seen inside his mind when he has an episode and I know it's worse. He replays every moment over and over again. I would ask that you glamour him to be at peace with those memories, so he can move on with his life and be who he was before." I pretend to think about it for a moment then I answer.
"If I do this for you, you'll find my thief and wont demand monetary compensation?" she rolled her eyes and nodded her head again.
"Ok, if you find my thief I will help your friend. How do you want to do this? Should I bring them to you one at a time?" she shook her head no.
"That wont be necessary, I already know who did it." my fangs extended.
"Explain!" I hissed and she chuckled.
"It's elementary dear Watson, the money was taken all at once, your accountant didn't do it because they told the scary vampire even though they could be killed as the messenger. You haven't had any employees quit without notice and I can tell you if they got that much money from you they would be gone in a flash. From what you told me the other night you own this bar with Pam and Long shadow, they are the only ones with access to those type of funds, Pam wouldn't steal from you because you'd give it to her anyway. So that leaves only one other that could have taken it. Unless you took it so you could use it as an excuse to call me? Really, three days? Let me give you some advice for your future first dates, it's not like waiting for a new vampire to rise, you can call the night after and it wont fuck up the process. Now, I will meet you here tomorrow at nine to go help my friend." she got up and moved to the door before going out it she turned back to me.
"Oh, and we will be talking about the exchange that took place tonight. Your slick I'll give you that but there isn't enough distractions in the world for that." then she walked out. I thought I had avoided that conversation with telling her about the fae, for someone who always gets the last word I was slacking when it came to her. I watched her walk out speechless. I should have known better than to think I got out of it. I call to Pam and she comes to stand in the now open door to my office and takes in the scene before her.
"Really Master? Dear Abby says there's never an excuse for domestic violence. Oh, and no means no!" I cant help myself I laugh at her and shake my head.
"Centuries are truly not enough Pamela, I need you to take long shadow to the basement and release Yvette, unless you want to have a little fun with her?" her smile turned feral.
"What is long shadow being punished for?" I slide on my flip flops and answer.
"He stole the money." before I could finish she is out the door and I hear a crash in the bar followed by a growl. Not even a minute later she comes walking by my office door at human pace dragging long shadow behind her by his braid." I pick up my laptop off the floor and fix my desk and chair. Sitting at my desk I open the computer and pull up my email. I send one to Bruce thanking him for his attention to detail and I wire a bonus to his bank account. Even though he came to me sniveling and crying he still did it face to face and that I can respect. Pam comes back in and closes the door behind her just as I'm finishing up.
"So you wanna tell me what happened here?" with a big grin on my face I answer with a shrug.
"She's a fairy." Pam's jaw hit's the floor.
"Shut the front door!" I look at her with confusion, I swear sometimes I don't understand my own child.
A/N: Ok, I had to use that line. I saw the commercial as I was writing and I had to. I laugh every time I see it and I thought it was a "Pam" line. I have half of the next chapter written and I just need to start typing and let it flow. The next chapter deals with sensitive subject matter, another warning will be placed in a/n on the next chapter. Please review if you can! Until next time. : )
