The plan to capture Bellamy is set in motion. Clarke and Lexa go out on their official first date. And Clarke can sing?
Notes:
Since I've been absent for a while, this chapter has it all (if you know what I mean...). Do review and favorite! Reading your comments and theories is one of the best things about writing this story.
Moving around the room frantically, Bellamy can't control his anger much longer. He's been waiting for the stupid mundane to drink the poison and yet nothing had happened. And he was running out of time. Today was the last day he would have, the conference having ended on a sour note with Azgeda declaring war against the Coalition. Although he was angry at Clarke for not trusting and believing him, he still felt proud of the blonde vampire for having played Roan- which forced him to forfeit the Coalition. Their initial plan, which had been to allow Azgeda to show their cards first and then counterattack, had been the right play to make. Which Clarke should have seen as evidence of his loyalty. But Lexa was fucking things up by blinding his friend with lust and some sort of magic. Because one thing was clear: That mundane bitch was no mere human. In fact, now that he thought about it, the woman didn't even smell like one at all. Her scent was more alluring and intoxicating, almost as if enticing vampires to come closer to her.
All of those things were to Bellamy very clear warning bells.
So, after using his contacts and talking with Monroe about his plan, he now had a mole inside the guard. The vampire, who had been pretty close to him, also felt upset with Clarke for not forcing Azgeda to leave the Coalition sooner. And, with a small amount of suggestion and place blaming, Bellamy was capable of convincing Monroe about Clarke's reasons for her decision to make Azgeda abandon the Coalition: Lexa. He had had told her fellow vampire that the mundane had been threatened by Azgeda, and Clarke, as a warning and way of retaliation, sentenced the Ice Coven to starve. Monroe, obviously, had been angry and disappointed about it, bowing in front of him and promising him her allegiance. Which he used immediately by making the red haired vampire spy on her men, relay locations and weapons that he then sold to the Azgeda. He needed Clarke to be worried about the Ice Coven, which then would give him just the right amount of time to kill Lexa (while also blaming Azgeda for the murder). To Bellamy, the whole situation was a win-win. Since Monroe was the one spying for him, he was sure that the vampire woman would be caught sooner or later. And once that happened, they wouldn't suspect of him being the one that sold the information to Azgeda. Yes, he hadn't felt comfortable about doing it, but he needed the poison and there was no way Monroe could acquire it for him (she didn't have the enough clearance to obtain it).
"General Blake." he can hear Monroe speaking from an old radio. "We've been just informed by Sergeant Miller that the Queen requested protection for the evening."
"Why?" he asks immediately.
"She's going to be with the mundane." the red haired vampire spits bitterly. "And because of what happened yesterday night she's requesting more protection."
"That does not interfere with our plans." Bellamy replies surely. "Is the asset still in place?"
"No one has gone inside the brunette's room. She's been with the Queen during the whole day, either out having lunch or in a meeting with Lieutenant Blake, Reyes and that vampire from Trikru."
"Anya is still here?" Bellamy murmurs to himself.
It's not that shocking, especially since Trikru and Skaikru are the covens that have the closest relation. But the fact that the stoic vampire had decided to stay, even after all the other coven leaders had left, made Bellamy suspect that something else was going on. He didn't know much about Anya; apart from the fact that no one should mess with her because the woman was a legend inside the vampires' circle. Did her presence mean that Azgeda's war treat was more advanced than what they had suspected before the conference? Or did it have to do with the mundane?
"Good job Monroe and keep me informed." Bellamy relays to her. "Tonight we're going to end this."
"Copy that." Monroe says hastily. "Over and out." she finishes the transmission and Bellamy feels like he's getting closer to his goal.
Now all he had to do was wait for Monroe to tell him that the poison worked.

"Are you sure I look good in this?" Lexa asks Anya while turning around in front of her friend.
"Are you honestly trying to drive me crazy?" the Trikru vampire retorts while watching the mundane change for the fifth time. "You do know that this is all a plan to catch the fucker that tried to kill you, right?"
"I'm aware of that." the brunette rolls her eyes. "But that doesn't mean that Clarke and I can't take advantage of the situation and have another date." she gets out from the bathroom and notices the way Anya's eyes open in appreciation. "So then this one?" she smirks.
"Yeah sure." Anya murmurs. "If what you want is to be endlessly fucked by the end of the date."
"That is what I want." Lexa winks at her and Anya gags.
"Don't do that ever again." the older woman complains. "I just imagined the nastiest and kinkiest things..."
"Then you're the nasty one." the mundane jokes and feels a pillow hit her head. "Don't mess the hair!"
"Don't be an asshole then." Anya huffs annoyed. "Jeez, I had already forgotten how annoying you could be."
"We both know you have missed me." Lexa says with a bright smile and the vampire can't deny it.
She had missed her best friend.
"I know you're feeling very calm about all of this." she starts her speech. "But you don't understand how our world works and what could happen to you."
"I'm not naive Anya." Lexa tells her seriously. "And the reason I'm not scared is because I trust my mate and her friends with my safety."
"I know you do." the vampire tries her best to make her point. "But just because you have the protection of the Queen that doesn't mean that you should wait for her to always be there. You need to be prepared to defend yourself when you're alone as well."
"And with this speech I'm assuming that you'll be the one invested in my training?"
"That's correct. You know your aunt will order it the moment we return to Trikru territory."
"Of course she will." Lexa murmurs while putting her shoes on.
"I know we haven't talked much about that..."
"I know you're bound to keep it a secret." the mundane tells her surely. "Besides, that way I can get all the answers straight from the source."
"The way you're taking all of this is certainly something else." Anya chuckles.
"Clarke told me the same thing earlier this day." she laughs warmly. "She's expecting me to run away because she can't still believe that doing so would be impossible for me to do."
"Some vampires can be pretty stubborn about their soulmates."
"Is that what's happening with Raven and you?" Lexa asks knowingly. "And don't even try to deny it because I can see the way you look at her when you think nobody's watching."
"She asked me for time." Anya huffs bitterly. "She can feel the connection between us and yet there's something preventing her from opening up to it. To me."
"She's afraid that the moment you know all of her you'll run away." Lexa explains to her. "And the only way you'll be capable of proving to her that you won't is by constantly staying by her side. Annoying the existence out of her."
"You're the vampire whisperer now?" the Trikru woman jokes.
"Well, maybe the soulmate whisperer." Lexa retorts and smiles brightly.
"That big smile on your face must be there because you've felt your mate getting close."
"I'm a little nervous." the brunette admits. "This will be officially our first date-date."
"Your priorities are seriously messed up." Anya chuckles but still grabs her friend by the shoulders. "Clarke loves all of you Lexa. There's nothing you could do to make that stop." she promises. "So just go out there and be happy. Don't worry about what'll come next and just enjoy your time with Clarke."
"I will." Lexa smiles brightly at her. "Thank you for being there for me Anya."
"Always will be Little Heda." she winks at the woman and raises her hands in mock surrender when Lexa fakely growls at her. "Someone just knocked." she warns the mundane who runs to the door.
The moment she hears Lexa open the door she can hear the rhythm of her heart speed up. Whatever Clarke was wearing must have made a huge impression on her friend.
"Clarke." she hears Lexa whisper longingly. "You look beautiful."
"And you're a sight for sore eyes." she smiles at the obvious devotion her friend feels for the mundane. "I know that this all a part of the plan..." Clarke starts to stutter. "But I was hoping that we could take advantage of the situation and have a real date."
"I was hoping for that as well." Lexa tells Clarke surely. "Guess that means you'll stay here and wait for our return?" she asks Anya and she goes to the lounge to greet her friend.
Lexa was right, Clarke looked spectacular with a tight black leather dress and stilettos. The woman was dressed to kill and Anya was somehow worried about Lexa having a heart attack from being in the vicinity of the blonde vampire.
"Raven will come by after she's done with the trackers." Clarke tells her with a knowing smile. "That way she'll explain to you how they work so you turn them on once you engage Monroe."
"Without getting hurt in the process of course." Lexa adds with a soft smile.
"Me hurt? You obviously haven't heard the stories people tell about me." Anya huffs proudly and Clarke laughs at her. "Mock me all you want..." the Trikru vampire warns her. "But we know who won all of the mock fights before you became Queen."
"Only because I knew better than to antagonize you." Clarke winks at her and she's in shock of the answer.
"Turn down for what..." Lexa murmurs and Clarke laughs loudly.
"Branwada!" Anya tells her before using her speed to push Clarke and Lexa out of the room. "Now get the fuck out of her and annoy someone else." she closes the door in front of them.
"She does know that the room belongs to me, right?" she can hear Lexa chuckle while walking further away.
"Well, it's technically mine because I invited you to stay here." Clarke purrs seductively and it makes Anya almost gag.
"I can still hear you." she says loud enough for Clarke to hear and the blonde vampire laughs while doing things to Lexa that had her friend moaning softly. "And you better stop doing that in my presence unless you want me to tell Indra all of this."
"Asshole." she hears Clarke murmur and grins when she notices that the two women have finally left the floor.
"She'll thank me later." Anya chuckles knowingly before laying on the bed to try to get some sleep.

"I can't believe we're doing this." Lexa whispers while drinking her beer and watching one couple stand in front of the mic.
When Clarke had said that she wanted to take the brunette on a date, she had expected the woman to take her downstairs the Grand Hotel and into the dining room where soft gala music played and servers were there for your every whim. So when Clarke instead smiled warmly at her before telling her to board a carriage, she knew that the blonde had something else on mind.
And she hadn't minded at all.
In fact, the carriage ride had been a tour of Mackinac Island, the rider discussing the different sights and stories the island had. Lexa, smiling brightly, had been surprised that her mate knew how much she enjoyed guided tours and anything that involved history. When she asked Clarke how she knew she liked these kinds of things, the vampire merely chuckled and whispered that her nerd was showing.
After the tour, Clarke asked the driver to drop them off at the Pink Pony, a bar/pub that served great found and sweet drafts. Lexa, being the less refined of them, of course ordered herself one while Clarke got a Sangria (obviously because the vampire found the whole thing hilarious).
"Enjoying your Sangria?" their server had asked Clarke at one point and that made Lexa almost laugh.
"It's very good." she promised the man who smiled politely before leaving them. "But I've tasted better." she whispered to Lexa and the mundane managed to keep her whimpering almost silent.
"Tease." she told Clarke who merely winked at her and continued drinking.
But now Lexa was not feeling so confident because the band that had been calmly playing in front of them had disappeared and instead a karaoke mic had been placed. If there was one thing that the brunette hated the most was karaoke. And from the look on her mate's eyes, the notion of strangers drunkenly singing out of tune was amusing her more than annoying her.
"Do you sing?" Clarke asks her out of nowhere and she can know where this conversation is leading to.
"No." she answers immediately.
"I think you're lying to me." the vampire smirks while finishing her drink.
"I'm not." Lexa promises her.
"Let's go sing something." Clarke tells her.
"You want to sing in a bar full of drunk people?" she asks shocked.
"No one knows me. And besides, they're too drunk to even realize that we'll be singing out of tune."
This makes Lexa stare up at her mate who is doing her best puppy eyes. She knows she'll never have the courage to stand up and sing in front of all these people, but Clarke didn't know that.
Which meant that she could have a little bit of fun with Clarke.
"Tell you what..." Lexa starts while drinking from her beer. "I'll go sing with you if you first sing all by yourself." she places her condition and simply expects Clarke to refuse.
"Deal." Clarke smiles brightly at her before asking for the woman to place her next on the list.
Calling Clarke's bluff, Lexa allows her to place them a couple of spots after, that giving them enough time to choose a song for them to sing. When she wanted to do the same for Clarke, the blonde refused by saying that it was a surprise and that she should just prepare herself for their duet. So, when the host instead of just asking the next wannbe singer to join them on stage and instead went to the piano men, Lexa was expecting for the whole show to be over.
"Ok people." the host sayss after finishing his conversation with the pianist. "The next person singing tonight has specifically asked for this song. In fact, she even asked if it would be ok for Lucas to play the piano for her!" he roots and the whole bar roars with excitement. "Keep your excitement in check, because the next person joining us on stage tonight will be Clarke!" he exclaims while pointing towards Clarke who waves at the people, most of them whistling and howling in encouragement.
"You can tell him that you changed your mind." Lexa smiles teasingly, expecting Clarke to quit.
"I haven't changed my mind." the blonde says solemnly. "I said I would sing and I intend on doing so." she finishes and gives her a wink before walking towards the stage.
"Don't." Lexa murmurs, knowing that Clarke can hear her but the woman merely ignores her and moves the mic stand into position.
"Hi." Clarke says to the crowd while staring at Lexa. "My name is Clarke and the song I'm going to sing tonight is dedicated to my Lexa." she points at the brunette who blushes when the people start whistling at them.
Immediately, the piano starts playing the tune and the crowd falls expectantly quiet, wanting to see if the woman could sing or not.
"I put a spell on you." Clarke starts singing and the people go crazy. "Because you're mine." she says while staring deeply at Lexa who can't keep her eyes away.
"You better stop the things you do." the vampire continues singing and of course Lexa realizes that she can also sing. She's Clarke, which means she's perfect.
"You know I love you." Clarke purrs and Lexa feels herself getting excited at the sight in front of her.
The blonde vampire is slowly getting close to her, mic in hand and eyes staring straight at her. Lexa knows Clarke can hear the way her heart beats, can probably even smell what she's done to her panties, and yet that only encourages and excites her even more. Clarke's eyes are becoming more predatory, switching between passion red and calm blue. She can notice the way her hand clutches the mic, the sight of small dents on it one that the manager would question tomorrow. But tonight nothing like that mattered. Tonight, all that mattered was the way Clarke was serenading her in front of all of these strangers. How she was using her voice and body to turn her own while at the same time making Lexa love her even more than before.
"I'm yours right now." Clarke promises her and Lexa groans at the gesture, it thankfully being only heard by the vampire who growls and the crowd roars in excitement.
"I put a spell on you." the blonde purrs and stands in front of the brunette who touches Clarke's hips with her hands, grabbing soft skin and closing her eyes at the sensation. "Because you're mine."
"I'm yours." she whispers to Clarke who licks her lips teasingly, almost making Lexa come right on the spot.
The crowd, that been watching the show enraptured, noticed that the song was over and started to scream and cheer for Clarke, who merely smiled at them before returning the mic to the host who congratulated her.
"Wow!" the host says while the crowd continued screaming. "That was steamy!" he smiles brightly. "Clarke, ladies and gents." he gives her one last nod before returning to the list of singers.
Meanwhile, a crowd of people had gotten close to their table, all of them congratulating Clarke and asking her questions about herself and what she did. Lexa, who usually wouldn't be upset about the attention, was right now barely hanging on. She was turned on beyond relief, and she knew that only Clarke would make her orgasm. So, because desperate needs required desperate measures, Lexa got behind Clarke and used her hand to move her head backwards, making the vampire's ear land right next to her mouth.
"Clarke..." Lexa says to her while nibbling and biting. "We need to leave."
"Why?" Clarke stutters and the sight turns the mundane on even more.
"Because you need to make me cum." she whispers to Clarke who immediately stands up.
"We need to leave."

While they had admired the sights in front of them during their date, the way back to her passed in a blur because Clarke used her speed to take them back to the hotel. Stopping right in front of the place, the blonde grabbed Lexa's hand and squeezed it tightly before walking confidently in, making all eyes turn on them. Lexa knew that they were all staring at Clarke, who was expelling some kind of aroma that forced you to focus on her. She knew that was a way for the blonde to become more alluring, and that at the same time it was a reflex and reaction from being turned on. Still, Lexa didn't enjoy the sight of men and women unabashedly staring at her mate, which is why she pulled them quickly towards the elevators. Once they closed, she took a step forward and invaded Clarke's space, the aroma of the vampire intensifying inside the locked space.
"You smell divine." Lexa murmurs while kissing Clarke's neck teasingly.
"And you're a tease." Clarke chuckles.
"I'm a tease?" the mundane asks confused while pushing herself closer to the blonde who groans and closes her eyes. "You just sexy-serenaded me in front of a lot of people."
"Sexy-serenaded you?" Clarke laughs brightly. "That's a way of putting it."
"Just shut up." Lexa growls and kisses the vampire who moans and does as said.
Once the elevator door opens, Clarke runs the whole way towards the room and uses her key to open it, her senses warning her that the room was empty and ready. Turning around, her eyes meet Lexa's and she knows that no matter what they both won't stop. Closing the distance between them, she moans when Lexa grabs her hands and squeezes her breasts, the nature of the brunette's touch a little more rough than what she was used to. Nevertheless, it was just as pleasurable and she encouraged Lexa's actions by rocking in place, her kisses never stopping.
"Take it all off." she hears Lexa command her and she does as said, her clothes all left discarded on the floor.
Meanwhile, Lexa was simply staring at her mate, the most powerful vampire of all, do as asked. The thrill that came from realizing that she had that much power over the woman made the brunette's clit throb. And she had been already teased for far too long by the blonde vampire. She needed her mate.
"Kneel." Lexa says and smirks when Clarke does so without hesitation. "Such a good girl." she coos and Clarke groans.
"Please..." Clarke whimpers from her position. "Let me make love to you."
"But I don't want that." the brunette starts to peel her clothes off.
"No?" the blonde cries in anguish but still doesn't move.
"No." Lexa is surprised at the way this is all going, but still, there's something thrilling about that makes her continue. "Because I want you to fuck me." she growls next to Clarke and bites her ear strongly.
"God..." Clarke moans desperately. "I want that too. Please, please let me fuck you."
"You will." she promises Clarke. "Take me to bed." she says and the blonde uses her strength to carry her. "Now kiss me."
Clarke does as said without hesitation, her beast strangely compliant and excited at the notion of being commanded. She had never felt like this, and while she should have been more hesitant about giving Lexa this power over her, she knew deep inside of her that the brunette was doing all of this because she knew that Clarke was enjoying it. What was happening right now, on an unconscious and telepathic level, was of mutual assurance and agreement.
Because tonight that was what they needed from the other.
"Touch my clit." she says and Clarke moves her fingers downwards, flicking them against her wetness. "Good Clarke." she commends the blonde who whimpers and nuzzles her neck. "What do you want dear?" she asks knowingly.
"You. I want you." the vampire groans and feels her elongated teeth come out.
"I'm yours Clarke." Lexa promises her while moaning at the sensation of fingers entering her. "You can drink from me."
"I love you." Clarke moans when sure fingers travel downwards and start touching her. "I love you." she repeats one more time before biting and sucking Lexa's blood.
"Uff." Lexa groans and cums, all the pent up frustration from earlier dissipating because of the mixture of her orgasm and the euphoria that came from Clarke's bite. "Now you come for me Clarke." she whimpers while using all of her strength to move her fingers faster.
"Ohhhh..." Clarke screams while feeling her orgasm approach and quickly detaches her teeth from Lexa's neck before she accidentally harms her. "So good." she whispers and closes her eyes in complete happiness.
"That was..." Lexa says after feeling Clarke relax next to her.
"Incredible." the vampire whispers while smiling brightly at her mate. "Thank you."
"Thank you!" the brunette chuckles. "I didn't know you could sing."
"Neither did I." Clarke shrugs and the sight makes her look adorable. "Although I do know that Anya and Raven just heard everything we did." she laughs loudly.
"Oh God..." Lexa groans while hiding her face on the pillow. "That's so embarrassing."
"They knew better than to stay and left when things were getting too steamy." Clarke appeases her somehow but still, Anya had heard her have sex and that was traumatic enough.
"I don't know what you do to me to make me do things like this." the mundane caresses Clarke's face tenderly.
"Don't you like it?" Clarke asks shyly.
"I love it." she reassures her mate who relaxes. "I just need to get used to it."
"You've also changed me for the better." the blonde promises her. "And that makes me love you even more than what I thought could be even possible."
"You're such a romantic." Lexa smiles warmly at her before eskimo kissing her. "I love you too."
"Good." Clarke smiles. "Because I don't sing for everyone."
"I thought you said that you didn't sing at all." she retorts and the blonde blushes.
"Asshole."
"Still love you." Lexa tells her while yawning. "Now let's sleep for a little before the next part of the plan starts."
"Ok." Clarke tells her while holding her close. "I enjoyed our undercover real date." she jokes.
"So did I." Lexa purrs and closes her eyes.

"They're spending the night in the mundane's room." Bellamy hears Monroe through the radio. "Standing guard outside with Lock and Miller."
"Remain in position until confirmation of asset reaching target." he instructs the red haired vampire.
"Copy. Over and out." the transmission ends and Bellamy smiles brightly.
It was showtime.
