It was hard to not touch her. It was even harder to see Bart Bass circling his arm around her. It was the hardest when she decided to dart her eyes across the room and give him a dark seducing smile. She knew it would make him crazy.

Dan looked around and sees Chuck focusing on Ellen Stevenson's retirement speech, whoever that is anyway. The event was held in the auditorium of the Bass Building and seems like all of New York's VIPs were here. He sets his eyes back at Blair and he sees her whispering something towards Bart and Bart nodded. She slowly stood up and purposely walked pass him. He can smell her perfume, intoxicating and sweet. Dan looked around and he knew he was being watched by Bart's men. He waited a good minute before walking over to Chuck.

"You should wait outside," Dan whispered.

"Is Connor Maynard out for his cigarette break?" Chuck asked. Dan looked around, it would be good if Mr. Maynard is. Fortunately for him, Mr. Maynard was out for his cigarette break.

"Yeap."

"Good, this thing bores me anyway," Chuck stood up and smiled to his company. "Excuse me."

Walking out alone would make Bart's men follow him but walking out with Chuck will make them think twice about following him. Chuck has a quick eye and if he sees his father's men following, he will question Bart and as in right now, Chuck was also on the list of people that wanted Bart dead. Bart would never risk it. Tyler had told him that Bart was always extra careful around Chuck as he believed if Chuck knew about the whole meaning in having a bodyguard; that it was because he was too scared to die, Chuck will use it against him someday. Dan snickered at this. Bart would believe him straight away if he said Chuck was the one wants him assassinated. Dan thought with Bart's long list of enemies, Chuck is the closest one to get Bart. No wonder Bart was always pushing Chuck away, Chuck may be the only one that can gain much more power than Bart could.

Poor Chuck, he had once thought. Dan walked behind Chuck and they find Connor Maynard right at the garden, puffing smoke.

"Are you sure?" Chuck asked.

"His asset is worth a billion dollar in the states only. And he's the smart one here, never credit, only cash," Dan said. "Trust me, he's looking to invest. That guy doesn't keep his money in his pocket very long."

"Okay," Chuck said as he slowly approached Mr Maynard, introduced himself and business was starting.

Dan waited inside the building and his phone vibrated.

"Hello?" he knows who it was. A smile crept on his face.

"I'm so itchy," he heard her sultry voice from his phone. He could only smile.

"Scratch it then," he played a bit. He hears her moan and his blood heated up.

"I did," she whispered. "But my fingers weren't enough."

"Where are you?" Dan decided to walk a bit, leaving Chuck with his new partner. "I may be a good help."

"A very… Very dark room…" she spoke slowly and it kills him. "Right above you."

Dan looked up and there she was, smirking at him. There was a staircase right next to the auditorium and Blair must have gone up. She disappeared behind the door and Dan quickly rushed upstairs, approaching the very room she disappeared into. He slowly opened the door and walked inside. It was very dark and the thing he could detect were the shimmery silver dress she wore that was laid on the floor.

"Hello?" he looked around, knowing she is around. Like a predator he could actually smell her scent. Channel No. 5 was meant to tease men. Then he feels her hand on his shoulders and slowly they took his suit off from behind. "Still need scratching?"

"Absolutely," she stood in front of him now, hands on his chest feeling his heart. "What took you so long?"

"I had to be careful," Dan pulled her waist so she was near him. He can feel her breathing on his neck. "How naked are you?"

"Is that a proper way to ask a lady?" Blair unbuttoned his shirt.

"Well," he groped her ass and let his hand roam around. How naked she was? Fully. "I guess I'm too dressed up."

She giggled and took his tie off. Instead she tied it over his eyes, blinding him. He felt his shirt was off and she roamed her hands over his biceps, right to his hand, intertwining their fingers. She pulled him until she lets him sit on a chair. He feels her straddling him and her nails graze his cheeks, touching his lips before he felt her lips crashing on his. His hands held her waist and he really hated the blindfold. It was dark anyway and he wanted to see her. He held his hand up to take the blindfold off but Blair stopped him.

"I'm in charge here," she spoke seductively. "You'll feel better without seeing."

"I'm not too sure about…" then he feels her hands running between his thighs and rubbing right at his dick. She was slowly but pushing tension with her hands above the layers of pants until she grabbed his belt, unbuckling it. "Was this one of your skills?"

"It is my best one," Blair said. "You're lucky I haven't experiment it with anyone."

"So I'm an experiment now?" not that he mind.

"Too much talking," she said and he felt her lips on his once again. Her tongue explored his and she was right, it did feel better. The excitement of not knowing what she would do next vibrated his senses (and horniness) up to the scale of thousands. Her hands held his hard on and while kissing him, she pumped him up and down which made his breathing stalled.

"I am itchy, Dan," she whispered and she led his hands between her thighs. He knew what to do, as his fingers snake right up to her center. She gasped into the kiss and he took that as a sign to push it a little further. It was definite foreplay and they did not mind it at all.

Dan knew he had to take control and he feels Blair's grip weakened as he speed up his hand movements. He lets go, with the blindfold still on. He held tightly on Blair's waist, guiding her down so he can enter her. The blind thing really worked as he can't really see her face when he entered her but her gasps and moans were the perfect proof, even much more than her reaction, that she was enjoying this.

He helped her move with his hands gripping her waist and she wasn't being silent about how the pleasure took in. Dan held her closer and she puts her arms around his neck, burying her face on his shoulder.

"We need to hurry," Dan spoke slowly. "Chuck will be looking for me."

"Yes," was all Blair could say and she kissed him. She could feel him move underneath her and he speeds up the process. It wasn't clear when he took charge but now she felt herself rising in high. "Oh God."

Dan released inside of her and he laid back on the chair, catching his breath.

"Can I see you now?" he asked as he held her in his lap. Blair untied the tie from his eyes and he saw her now. "Hey beautiful." The room was dark but he could see her from the small shining light across the room. He looked around and he realized that this was not the room he was expecting. It was different than the map, he studied the place before and he knows that this is not the room they entered.

"What's wrong?" Blair asked him as he looked around.

"Where are we?" Dan asked.

"This?" Blair looked around. "It is my secret place."

"Secret place?" Dan asked. This was a Bass Building.

"Yeah. I found it when I first start meeting Bart. I was wandering around and accidentally push those weird cupid statues up front and this room appeared. I thought the secret rooms were only the two floors dedicated to Bart's personal stash up above his office," Blair stood up to find her clothes. "I asked Bart about the secret rooms and he always say that there are only two. I thought Bart knew about it but he bought it from somebody else's company. He only knew the blue prints of this building and whoever owns this building before decided to have a secret room added."

Dan looked around and it was a library, filled with so many books and on the left corner was a stash filled with documents.

"It's my sanctuary," Blair whispered and Dan looked up at her. "Whenever I feel alone and frustrated I always spend my time here. I think it was a woman's secret space too."

"Why?"

"The books," Blair said as he looked around. "It's everything a woman should read and could read. Those documents right over there, was a fashion final installment. My mother used to have one of those too." Blair sees Dan looking around. "You're not used to things that weren't in your control."

"What?"

"I had the feeling you knew each and every corner of Bass Building but not this place here, and whenever there is something out of your control, you panicked," Blair said, caressing his cheek. "You panicked when you first opened to me, that day, that you abruptly left. You didn't show it but I can somehow read you now."

"Were you testing me?" Dan asked.

"I guess I did," Blair looked straight in his eyes. "I still stand on my words, if you ever run away, I won't ever let you go. So just free yourself from this, and we'll go together."

"I still have to kill him," Dan looked straight at Blair.

"We could…" Blair started.

"You don't understand," Dan pushed her to stand up. He zipped his pants and took his shirt. "It's the only way."

"Dan, please…" Blair pulled her dress covering her body.

"Blair, only one more kill, and I promise you, it's over by then. If you hated me being an assassin so much, I can't just erase my past…"

"And I'm not asking for that," Blair pulled his hand. "Bart is a very dangerous man, and he could hurt you if he finds out that you're still targeting him."

"As of you," Dan blurted. Blair looked at him, confused. "What makes you think he would let you go? With the guy that was meant to kill him. If I stop and we run away, he'll search for you and it would never end until he ends."

"Dan…" Blair looked down. She wasn't sure about telling him this. "I saw a man died."

"What?"

"He was targeting Bart and he was shot right in his head, in front of me. I was scared, but I calmed down because I didn't know that man," Blair said. "But then I saw Tyler pointing his gun at you, I was reminded that it could be you, right there. I don't care if your hands are filthy with blood, I'm not an innocent woman myself, but I can't…" Blair took a deep breath and felt tears in her eyes. "It could be you dying there and I think I'm falling for you even deeper to die if you die."

"Blair," Dan quickly cupped her cheeks. "Promise me, whatever happens, don't just die."

"How could I, after all that I said…"

"I promise you, I won't die easily, not until you kill me first," Dan said, wiping her tears away. "So promise me, don't just die."

Blair sniffed and nodded. It calms her down, but somehow, it felt like the storm is coming.

Dan walked around with Chuck in Bass Enterprise and he knows his next move.

"I think I have a new client for you," Dan informed Chuck. Chuck looked at Dan. "He's very rich, and he's a pretty close connection too."

"Who? After Maynard, I don't think there is any better client," Chuck was satisfied today, but Dan was not up par to his strategy.

"Bart Bass," Dan whispered. Chuck was just looking at him and he laughed. "I can explain…"

"No, my father interrupting my business will be a few minutes away if he decided to take over. Even if I'm his son, there is no way he'll approve anything I said," Chuck ordered a scotch. "Keep looking Humps."

"I wasn't finished, Bass," Dan said. "I got something off him."

Chuck was interested now.

"I have required information that someone out there is trying to assassinate him," Dan stayed his stare at Chuck. His reactions were shocked, but somehow, it didn't surprise him that much. Dan inquired Whitney about the client that asked to kill Bart but she said it was strictly confidential. He needs to find out or somehow manipulate the situation a bit. He scanned Chuck, and it could be him. "You're on the top list that would kill him."

Chuck shook his head, smiled a bit. "Obviously I wanted him dead, but I'm not that desperate. I'm not shoving my success with him under the grave. I want him to learn that I can be much more successful with him standing that tall build."

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway," Dan smirked. "I also knew that he doubled his agents when he knew some assassin was targeting him. This could mean something Chuck."

"Like what?" Chuck asked.

"Use this information, black mail him. Make it look like it was you, and I have the feeling he would beg for your mercy," Dan looked at Chuck, eyes darkened. He needed Chuck to play his role, to be up there positioning himself to play Bart as the puppet.

"Why Bart? I mean it is entertaining to blackmail a man such as him, but what is in it for the benefit?" Chuck asked, twirling his scotch.

"It's not enough for me," Dan spoke and Chuck looked at him. "It's not enough anymore, just having this job. I needed more to gain access to the information I needed. The one that has so many holes right now is your father and I need to gain access on him."

"You…" Chuck suddenly realized. "Are you…?"

"I was given the task to gain information on Bart," close enough. "But he's pretty good with his tracks and seems like his plotting is a bit, sketchy and very unpredictable."

"So you went in through me, the son?" Chuck stared at him.

"Oh, I know much about you, Charles. Very. I also knew you want him down and all the other investors, they were too scared to lose their position in the business but not you. Because there is his blood in you. You're younger and you are not afraid of death just yet. You were the perfect tool to kill him," he chose his words correctly. "The task I am given was not only to gain information, but to also bring him down. My perfect puppet is you, but think again, would you ever consider hiring another assistant that is not me? Victrola has gained a jump in investment and I dare say it was because of me. But finding these people to invest is not enough anymore, you'll need more to take him down."

"What do you propose?" somehow, Chuck was liking the idea of taking Bart down.

"Steal everything. It is yours only if you take it. That's the rule with Bart, right?" Dan knew he couldn't use the traditional killing method anymore. Plus the fact that Bart had used Blair's name on the assets doubled the problems. Harold is trying to change up all the assets but it would be simply too long and Dan decided it would be faster if he had Chuck to do the job too. To steal all the assets on Blair's name and according to the system, the owner which is Blair only needed to release the asset by signing an agreement if the asset was transferred into another company.

"Why are you doing this so seriously?" Chuck asked.

"I am a professional," Dan said. "Some people want Bart to die but this client specifically asked to burn Bart on the stake first before vanishing him to leave the world. But he didn't mind it if Bart was left rotten without his industry."

"Huh," Chuck stood up. He held his hand up. "When shall we start?"

Dan smiled.

Petra Biro looked straight into Whitney's eyes and started to force the words out of his mouth. "Where is Perseus?"

"He's on his mission, Sir," Whitney tried to hide her nerve.

"Still on the same mission?" Petra asked, huffing his chest up and down.

"Yes, Bartholomew Bass was not really an easy target," Whitney thought the president was an easier target than Bart.

"I should have known," Petra said.

"Known what sir?"

"That blood relations do force people to come back," Petra said. Whitney's face was white as if she had seen a ghost. "You know what to do, Medusa."

Whitney looked down and bowed. She had no choice. "Yes, sir."
