Enjoy!

Chapter 3: The Mansion

Richard Watterson Mansion – Party

Kasumi and Jack were walking up the big stairs that they had on their way before arrived the Mansion. As they walked, Kasumi spoke low to Jack. "Remember, we are the Ashburn's, five children, your name is Sarah, you were once in a mission for the marine, and your team left you behind on the enemy's hands, you spent two months being tortured as an example for the others, then you were able to ran away, and you basically went rogue. I'm Victoria, a simple woman, but people think since I wasn't rich before met you, I'm only with you because of the money, which makes me look like a whore for them, and they love that, so yeah."

"Alright, got it. Already in my mind, I can do this. I hope I don't have to change my personality though." Jack said, already feeling a bit cranky about this.

"No, like that you will be fine, just try to be a bit more polite, out of trouble, like don't insult anybody, but you can have a bad tongue." Kasumi said with her usual smile as they were finally arriving the large doors from the mansion, whenever she started seeing people, she quickly took Jack's hands into hers and held it like they were a couple. She kept a small kind smile upon her face and whenever they got to the door, they started to make sure they had no guns or anything that can harm people. Kasumi had the bomb inside her purse, but she's a freaking "ninja", she can hide anything, so nobody could notice the bomb in her purse.

Jack nodded, glad she didn't had to stop saying her curses, then when she felt Kasumi's hand on her, made Jack look down, a bit confused and uneasy with the touch, the thief's hand were so warm and soft. The biotic looked up at the thief, and was still amazed how beautiful this woman actually looked like, she removed the hood back in the shuttle, and now she had a tight white dress, that basically showed off more her body curves, so yes Jack was starting to feel lust inside her, but she just tried to ignore such feelings and focus on the mission.

"Fuck, this shit is huge." Jack said the very moment they stepped into the beautiful mansion, large, and beautiful, there were so many people here, yet the place wasn't full.

"Indeed.." Kasumi mumbled as she kept holding Jack's hand and looked around trying to find the Richard guy, but since she done few things about Jack's information, she figured the man would just show up on his own towards them and want to get to know more of Jack.

Like she assumed, he was approaching them, Richard Watterson, a tall, muscled guy, probably in his 30s, blonde, blue eyes and tan. The man was a hot, and if Kasumi didn't knew how much evil he had done, maybe she would let herself have a crush on him. "Ashburn?" Richard's husky voice spoke as she approached the two women. He stretched out his hand towards Jack. "A pleasure to meet you. I know the invitation wasn't sent awhile before, but I'm glad you managed to show up."

Jack stared at his hand, before look up at him with a frown, she didn't liked the way he treated her like they already knew each other since high-school, but she just went with it. Taking the man's hands in hers, they both gave each other a strong hand-shake. "Pleasure. I didn't felt like missing this for nothing, Watterson." If he was going to treat her by her suppose last name, she would do the same.

Richard nodded and then his eyes laid on the beautiful Kasumi, he had never seen her before, but when he began to read information about this suppose rogue ex-marine, he knew that she was married to some redhead woman, and that they had five children, when he invites somebody to a party, he digs their past, and the more interesting people, are the ones he knows the all information. "I believe this is, Mrs. Ashburn?" He spoke more interested on Kasumi than before, as he stretched out his hand for her.

Kasumi decided to replay on her own, to make sure Jack wouldn't mess up with their names. "Yes, Victoria Ashburn, a pleasure to meet you Mr. Watterson." Kasumi stretched out her hand and gave him a handshake, not as strong as Jack's, mostly because she wanted to keep this weak yet seductive woman persona.

Jack did noticed how he was interested on Kasumi, and how he couldn't remove his eyes from the thief's cleavage, Jack did told her it was too much, since her white dress had a big cleavage that is really supposed to show your boobs, its only part of the plan, but the subject zero also wanted to be able to look away from her chest. However, the way the Richard guy glared, made Jack let go of Kasumi's hand, and place her palm on her hip, pulling her a bit closer to Jack, showing him who she belonged to. "So...this party has some alcohol, right?"

"Of course! Come with me, Ashburn. I will make sure you will have the best scotch you had ever tasted before." Richard spoke quickly removing his eyes away from Kasumi's figure and turn around, as he walked up to some tables, where few people decided to sit down, it stayed outside, on the large balcony he had. He pulled out a chair first, and Jack was wondering what the hell he was doing, Kasumi was simple going with the flow, and quickly sat down on the chair with the help of the man, as she mumbled the words thank you, and smiled at him. Then he went sit down on the chair across, while Jack sat down besides Kasumi.

A waiter quickly showed up with a scotch bottle and placed three glasses on the table, then he began to fill only half of them, before place the bottle over the table, then he bowed at them and left, going back to work with other drinks.

"Try it, you will see you won't regret." Richard said, as he picked up his glass, but was waiting for the ladies to try.

Jack stared at him, with her usual frown, as she picked up the glass and brought it closer to her lips, first she began to smell it, making sure there was no poison, she was being cautious, but you couldn't blame her. When she was sure the drink was safe, she finally took a sip, and lowered the glass, placing it back on the table. She felt the burning on her throat from the alcohol, but the man was right, it was indeed one of the best scotch's she had ever tasted. "Shit, Watterson. You are a man of your word. This is indeed a very good and strong one."

Kasumi, only took a very small sip, because she didn't drake that much and if she did, she would get drunk too easily and ruin things, but it was obvious the burning feeling on her throat was too much, that she had to keep her head down and take a deep breath.

"Maybe the lady needs something softer?" Richard asked, as he took a sip from his glass.

"No, I'm fine, really. Just been a long time since I drank something like this." Kasumi answered with a smile.

"I bet, five children isn't an easy job." He did knew a lot about this two, or at least he knew what Kasumi wrote about them.

"Yeah, it's freaking hard." Jack said.

"The old is the little one?" Richard asked, but he was staring at Kasumi, basically having a conversation with her.

"One year old." Jack decided to answer first, and force the man to have a conversation with HER, and not with Kasumi.

"Still very young, I see. Well, when I had my boys, the first year was always tough, but then things got easier." Richard knew what Jack was doing, so the man basically started to have a conversation with both of them.

"Yeah, a pain in the ass." Jack had short quick answers, but she wasn't letting Kasumi speak either. "She's the fifth, we know how things go now."

However the thief feared Jack was cutting the all chances Kasumi ever had to get under the skin of this man and know more things about him, and find the best ways to take him down. "Hun, don't be so harsh." Kasumi said with a sweet tone, before look back at Richard. "Yes, the first year is always complicated, but totally worth of it. – Also, I wasn't aware you had children, Mr. Watterson."

Jack allowed a "tsk" sound escape from her lips, as she felt Kasumi's hand on her leg, letting her know to shut up, and the biotic tried.

"Oh yes, they are twins, five years now. Full of energy, troublemakers, but still with kind hearts." Richard was getting excited with the conversation again, mostly because Kasumi was speaking, and her voice was a total turn on. Plus this two didn't even seem a couple, so different, it was impossible this marriage was out of love, it was all for money.

"I bet they are wonderful children. Thinking about having more?" Kasumi questioned him, she was only having this conversation to make sure the man felt like he could talk to her anytime and she would replay.

"Oh no, I heard that too many children can destroy a marriage..." Richard said as he took a quick glance at Jack and then looked back at Kasumi.

"The fuck that's suppose to mean, huh?" Jack this time couldn't control her tongue.

Kasumi squeezed Jack's leg, as she spoke. "Come on, darling. I bet Mr. Watterson didn't meant it like that, it's true some couples drift apart when they have too much work on their hands, and then start focus more on the kids than on their partner. – I apologize for her behaviour."

"Haha, don't need. We always need tough people like that in this world. But you are right Mrs. Ashburn, I only meant that, and I'm very happy with two children and my wife." Richard chuckled a bit watching Zack's temper, but then he let it go.

Before they could continue their conversation, some man, who seemed to be the security showed up and spoke. "Sir, the Kingston's are here."

"Thank you for warn me." Richard said as he quickly dismissed the man, then he stood up from his seat and looked down at the two women. "Excuse me, but I have another couple to meet, I shall not take long, so don't stay too far away, Mrs. Ashburn." The man grinned down at her before walk away, he had no shame on his face, with a two children, a wife, and yet he was throwing himself at Kasumi right in front of Jack.

"Tsk, horny bastard." Jack said as she stood up as well, picking up her glass and heading closer to the balcony from the house, so she could place her hands over the handrail.

Kasumi watched Jack moving away, as she simple began to follow her, then she stood beside her suppose wife, and looked at the beautiful view this mansion had. "He indeed is a shameless man." Kasumi said before look back at Jack. "But anyway, he isn't buying it. I'm not really sure if after he meets this "Kingston's" he will search more about us and find out what is really going on."

"Whatever, if he does something we put a bullet in his head." Jack said, like the problem could be solved like that, but she forgot she didn't had her gun with her.

"We can't solve things always like that, Jack. Even though, it's very useful sometimes, but not here. We just have to play pretend a little more serious." And with that, Kasumi grabbed Jack's wrist, making the biotic woman let go off the glass, it could stay over the handrail, since it was large enough for that. She placed Jack's left hand on her hip, before bring her other hand and this time place it on her bottom. Now that Jack's hands were on the right place, she reached out her own hands to cup Jack's face and bring her closer, as their lips finally met. Kasumi was giving her a rather soft kiss, not really moving her lips, or invading the biotic's woman mouth with her tongue.

Jack rolled her eyes when Kasumi denied about shooting the guy, but when she spoke about playing pretend a little more serious, she raised an eyebrow and began to wonder what the hell the thief meant by that, however, her next actions left Jack speechless. She didn't move a single inch, allowed Kasumi to move her body like a doll, and when her lips were against hers, Jack open her eyes wide a bit, surprised by this, but then she allowed herself enjoy it, she didn't knew why she felt that, but she was enjoying it. Yet she was trying to put in her mind that they were playing "pretend", none of this was supposed to be real, yet the biotic woman wanted it.

Richard was approaching again, he didn't saw the women on the table, so he began to search around to find them closer to the handrail and having a kiss together, but he figured he could make it stop, if they saw him getting closer.

However Jack could be really mean person, even if she had her lips against Kasumi's, she open half of her eyelids and looked up at Richard, giving him a frown, and since Kasumi's back was facing him, she basically gave a squeezed Kasumi's ass, showing him that the woman belonged to her, maybe Jack was taking this too far and feeling jealous, but when you are such fucked up person and new feelings invade you, you really don't know how to act towards them. Great ass though, Jack thought.

Whenever Kasumi felt the squeeze on her ass, she yelped into Jack's lips, it was a small yelp, but she open her eyes and looked at Jack, not really waiting for such reaction from Jack, then she noticed such vicious look the woman had on her face, which made her wonder what the hell was wrong. The thief slowly broke the kiss, but remained her body closer to Jack, as she turned her head around and saw that Jack was looking at Richard as he approached them. Oh, this explains a lot..I guess, she thought.

"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something.." Richard said, now believing more that they were indeed a couple, but he still wanted Kasumi out of Jack's hands, more than before.

"No, not at all, Mr. Watterson. Me and Sarah were only showing a bit of affection towards each other." Kasumi said with a small smile, as she placed her palms against Zack's tummy, and began to push herself away from the biotic woman, only few inches apart.

"I see, even after ten years together the flame is still there?" Richard asked with a small chuckle.

"Yeah, we didn't break it up." Jack said, remembering about before, how Richard said too many children ruined a marriage.

"Well, we have been married for ten years, but together it has been sixteen, I guess." Kasumi said, shrugging, like she already lost the count.

"Amazing, I have only been together with my wife, for five years. First children, then marriage. " Richard chuckled as he approached them.

Marriage because she was pregnant, how fucking classic..Jack thought as she looked back at the view.

"Also, Mrs. Ashburn. I was wondering if you are willing to come with me so I can show you my children? I have tons of pictures of them upstairs, and also believe it or not, they are here. The babysitter forgot she should arrive more later with them, so they are upstairs playing on their room." Richard suggested hoping she would say yes.

"Nah, I guess she's fine like that." Jack answered for Kasumi.

"Nonsense, Sarah. I would love to see them!" Kasumi said excited, as she sneaked a hand behind Jack, and pinched her thigh, making sure the woman would remain shut, and don't ruin their plan. Something was really wrong with Jack.

"Figured, a woman with five children and no twins would probably love to see a pair of one." Richard said with a smirk, as he raised his arm a bit, waiting for her to just loop her arm around his, so he could take her upstairs. "Shall we go?"

Jack jumped slightly with Kasumi's pinch, as she stared down at the thief. When she felt the woman approaching to her again, and felt a soft peck against her cheek, Jack took that chance to whisper something into her ear. "I don't fucking trust this guy. Be careful, thief." Jack warned her, as she watched Kasumi being taken away by Richard. Then it seems Richard asked some of his guards to give a tour to Jack, the woman thought why the fuck not, since she didn't had anything better to do.

-20 minutes later-

"And this is the backyard." The guard said, as he allowed Jack to look around, then he felt his omni-tool vibrating, he probably had a call, and he figured it was from his boss. "Excuse me." He warned Jack before walk away, behind some small house where it probably had the garden tools.

"The redhead is already taken care of; you better get rid of that rogue woman. Make sure she won't suspect a thing, she's an ex-marine, and it won't be easy to take her down, so don't try anything that you think you can't be able to finish." This was Richard's voice.

"Yes, sir. But may you tell me how will I take her down?" The guard asked a bit nervous, since he could already feel how dangerous the woman was just by being around her, and now he had to kill her.

"I don't know, just kill her, a bullet will probably end her, she's a human after all. Just don't be suspicious. - Richard Out." And then Richard's voice was gone. The guard felt nervous and took a deep breath, wondering what was he going to do now?

However before he could think about ways on how to kill Jack, he was already too late. She had kicked the back of his knee, making him fall down, and quickly snatched his gun from the back of his pants, as she pressed the gun against the back of his head. "Don't move, or I'll fucking shoot."

The guard just done what he was told to, he was still a newbie on this job, he looked all muscles and stuff, but he was a pussy when it comes to death, just like everybody else.

"Now...where is she?"
