A/N- Hello everyone! So I decided to let some of the characters have a little fun in this chapter… I think you guys will enjoy it…
Just a heads up, training camp officially starts tomorrow. We start with our 7 AM practices as well as our 1 PM practices. This should be fun. I promise to keep reviews coming, I'm just not sure how often.
Anyway, Enjoy!
Aria DeLoncray- Ya, but that would have been too easy. Plus she had been part of the group so just letting her go was a bit better for them, not that Victoria would take a break up all that well.
MoonStarWithWings- Thank you for finding that issue... I do realize they don't sleep, but I was just going with the flow. I'm glad you like it though!
Happycookbook- you assume correctly about the first part. Victoria is not dead, just as in the book. You'll see where she comes in later.
BirdieInABox16- Haha, yes the torture fest for James! I like the sound of that… It might be worked into a title soon…
AnnaMollyPR- Yes the fluff is coming, but first… Cerys has to have her fun.
Superdani- Everything will fall together soon, don't worry. I'm glad you liked the plot twist though!
twilghtfan78- So I had posted this chapter then noticed you had updated. Apparently fanfiction doesn't want to email me… anyway, I'm glad you like it so much! Thanks for all of the support and don't worry, I'm not going to stop writing!
Tanya returned to the house a few hours later. She looked at me curiously, but didn't say anything. She just went to her own room and I'm guessing she took a shower since the water pipes turned on and she came out about twenty minutes later with wet hair. "So how long have you been out here?" Tanya asked when she sat down in the large lazy boy at the corner of the couch. "Did James have to go out and replenish himself?"
"He went out, probably just a normal feeding. Although he may be hunting to work out… what did you call it? O right, frustration." I said. Tanya's face dropped and she looked at her sisters and then at me. "What?"
"You mean, but…"
"You should have seen her Tanya." Kate said. "She took a page right out of our own book." Kate said with a proud smile. "She hooked him and then walked away."
"I told him I was going to do it." I said with a shrug.
"But he didn't believe you." Kate replied. "He thought you were going to bend to his will."
"Proved him wrong. I will never bend to another's will." I said, looking at everyone.
"You made that point tonight." Carmen said.
"So you seduced him? You have fun?" Tanya asked.
"I guess." I said with a shrug. "I wouldn't want to do it that much with him."
"Kate, what's Irina doing with Laurent?"
"There's a reason we soundproofed all the rooms." Kate said dully. "Well then, I guess it's just us three."
"What's going on?" I asked looking between the three vampires who were suddenly sharing the same smile.
"O my dear, you've started a very dangerous game." Tanya replied. "If I understand what little I do know about your vampire, then we'll be needing to get you ready."
"What? Why?"
"He's going to give you a taste of your own medicine." Kate said.
"Trust me; it's the hottest sex ever." Carmen replied.
"Ya about that are we sure it's going to work with me being human and all?" I asked.
"You have a point. We might have elongate this whole plan if we want her to survive it. I mean, as Carmen said, it's the one of the best sexual experiences you could ask for." Tanya replied.
"And if it's one of the best for us, then it might be too much for you." Kate finished.
"So if I'm going to have to be a vampire, to seduce James properly?" I asked.
"Just for when it ends. Don't worry; I think I have a plan for that." Tanya replied. "We need to get James another room. I think the one next to Laurent would be appropriate?"
"I'll go move his bag or… wait, did even have anything when he came?"
"No, I think he's borrowing some of Eleazar's clothes right now. I think we're going to need to have a family shopping trip soon." Carmen said. "I like Eleazar's fashion sense and all, but it doesn't look as good on Laurent or James."
"I'm sure Irina would protest." Kate said.
"No, I think she'd agree. She probably wants Laurent without clothes." Ok, I shuddered at that last comment. Laurent became like an older brother, or a replacement father for me. Either way I did not want to imagine him without clothes on.
"Can we change the subject please?" I asked.
"We need to plan out some outfits first." Tanya said.
"I know I should have asked this earlier, but should I trust you guys?" I asked.
"Trust me, honey, we're profressionals in this department." Kate said with a smile and she patted my shoulder. She slipped past me and headed back down the hall where our rooms were.
The rest of the afternoon was spent planning events that Tanya would assure me would happen. As she described a certain event she would 'advise' me on what actions I should take. All the while she was finding the 'perfect' outfit. For once I wasn't going to complain about the outfits. She made sure that they were still me while making sure there was a sexy undertone to them. Every once in a while Kate or Carmen would add their opinion. When Irina figured out what was going on outside her room she took a break from her new pastime to help. She seemed to be the most excited next to Tanya about everything.
I had heard James return home, but Kate and Carmen quickly grabbed his attention while Tanya finished helping me. Tonight I was just going to sit around the house. Shift from room to room occasionally to make sure James kept his attention on me. Tanya assured me that this would be the easiest of the 'events' that she was planning. It was a "good warm up" in her opinion. I was still trying to remember how why I'd let this get so out of control.
When Tanya was done with me I was in dark navy sweats with a white tank top. I didn't really see anything sexy about it, but apparently James was supposed to see otherwise. So Tanya and I left my room together to go look at something on the computer. It ended up being some shopping website so I barely paid attention. I just made it look like I was interested since I knew James was watching and if I wasn't Tanya would get mad at me. Somehow James had found the one sliver that allowed him to look into the study from the living room. He lounged on the couch watching TV, although his eyes flickered our direction every once in a while. When I would notice him watching I would try my best to fight the blush, but my human reaction was apparently stronger than me. "Stop it." Tanya whispered. She forced my attention back to the screen and whatever dress she had found.
Tanya actually found a few things she liked and ordered them. Eventually we decided that it was time to be closer to my target. We joined the rest of the Denali family in their living room. Carmen was on Eleazar's lap in the lazy boy, Tanya and Kate were lying on a bed of pillows on the floor, Irina and Laurent were stretched out on the smaller of the two couches. That left me with James on the longer couch. There was plenty of room that I knew I was expected to occupy throughout the night.
I sat down on the far side of the couch, barely allowing my shoulder to hit James' arm which was extended across most of the back of the couch. I knew he was watching me as I found a comfortable spot, but I forced my attention on the argument over what movie to watch. When the movie was decided upon (The Covenant, still not sure why), the lights were turned out and everyone fell silent.
By the time had really started to get going I had stretched my legs out so they were barely touching James' thigh. Occasionally I would allow them to run up and down his pants, but I wouldn't push it past that. That was why I was surprised when James pulled my feet onto his lap and started to slowly, sensually rub. I was forced into an awkward position, but didn't complain. I was too busy holding back a moan from the pleasure James' hands were conjuring. After a while I moved around to get a better spot, pulling my legs back and falling into the open and welcoming space between James' chest and arm.
Finally the movie ended and everyone started stretching. I allowed myself a few extra seconds in James' arms before getting up and heading to the kitchen. "I'm going to get something to eat and then go to bed." I announced.
"Alrighty." Kate said, eagerly taking my spot on the couch.
I hummer quietly as I got out everything I needed to make a sandwich. It was late, I was tired and I felt too lazy to cook anything more extravagant. My stomach was going to settle for bread, ham, and cheese.
"The sisters are rubbing off on you already. It seems you've been here longer than I thought." James said. He wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled his nose into my hair.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently.
"Trying to tease me? Seduce me? I know they're helping you."
"James I don't know what you're talking about."
"Then why was my room changed?" He asked.
"I don't know. Isn't it kind of dangerous for you to nuzzle my hair? The scent and all?"
"I can handle it." James replied. The whisper was said in just the right place behind my ear that shivers were sent down my spine. James' hand slid down my arm and forced me to put my food down before slowly turning me around. I looked up at him with innocent curiosity. He just smiled before kissing me softly. This kiss was slow and sensual, unlike the ones we had shared before he left and then once he had returned. It actually made my knees weak, forcing me to cling to him.
"Are you trying to seduce me?" I asked. It seemed to become a line I repeated often now a day.
"Only if you're trying to seduce me." James replied with a smirk. I pulled his head down then kissed the side of his lips, over his cheek, and up to his ear.
"Game on." I whispered before taking my sandwich and leaving for my room.
