				"68,000 in college loans. Great, just peachy," Riley muttered beneath her breath as she looked at the payments once more. She managed to rack herself in debt because of her love to be an English Professor. While the thought of buying a new dress, getting a nice manicure or even seeing the new Jason Statham movie sounded all good to her, she had to push those to the side and think about the most important things at hand. For one, she needed to pay her car insurance, her rent, Phantom's dog shots, gas, electric, loans, food and anything else needed to survive. Her parents had offered to help her but she knew they needed the money more than her. Riley adored her parents and pushed herself in high school and college to snatch a few scholarships here and there but it had not be enough and she took out student loans. Was there any regret in that choice? Nope. Glancing up at the wall in front of her where her bachelor's degree in enligsh and her almost there credentials on the wall gave her hope to take a tenure position at her alma mater Caldwell Univeristy. <br><br>For now, she had a part time gig as a teaching assistant in preparatory english and another as a bartender. Two part time jobs was not going to cut it and she needed to find another part time job soon. She worked hard to receive her degree and she was not going to let loans get the best of her. Though she might not have been able to afford the comfortable lifestyle as a vampire with money but her family had made it work. Her mother, Anya, taught music at the local community college for the vampires who were not able to get into the prestige Caldwell University like herself. She had to push herself to get good grades and various recommendations to which she fought the four years to show that a female vampire from a lower class could survive with the others. Her father, Riley, she was named after him, a retired ballet dancer who taught at a dance studio for ballerinas and ballerinos who wante to attend the top dancing schools in the world. Though even with her family's occuptations in the workforce it barely covered the mortgage, car payments, one doggen, and a female vampire who would go into transition. <br><br>Transition had not been an easy or cheap thing to go through. Her father and mother invested a nice chunk of change to give her the best to make sure she survived the transition with a donor at her side and Havers to make sure she was in top condition. After that, her parents could barely give her enough to pay for college but she had not blamed them for any of the debt she had now. She respected her parents and was a daddy's girl but not a spoiled one. Smiling at the memory of her father showing her how to do an attitude, Riley felt her spirit rise up a bit even though her bank account would lower this month. All in all, she needed to shell out a combined total of nine hundred dollars this month to keep Phantom and her being kicked out to feeding both of their mouths. "Aww, I know, Phantom," she whispered at her black and white puggle (half pug and half beagle). The neighbor's dog downstairs a few months backs had given birth to a mixed batch of puggles and was giving them away for twenty dollars. <br><br>Now, Riley had to choose whether to spend twenty dollars of her bartending tips on a puggle where she would have to eat cereal, peanut butter sandwiches and milk for the next two weeks until her next check or tips came in. When she had seen her now Phantom in the box with black and white patches, especially a white patch which covered the right side of his face she had fallen for him and ate water and sandwiches to be able to use the money for cereal to buy him puppy food. She nursed the little guy and had a bed made for him out of old baby clothes and when he cried, kept him in her bed next to her. He was trained and knew when to not to make a lot of noise at night. <br><br>Right now, Phantom, was watching her with a look that said: Don't worry, I have your back as long as you scratch my tummy where he proceeded to lay down on his back, stomach up to her. Smirking, she leaned down to scratch and rub his belly for a few minutes while she contemplated what to do next. For now, she needed to get her butt in gear to change and head out to ZeroSum for her bartending shift. "Come on Phantom," she whispered, picking her man of the house up to take him with her to change clothes. Phantom would be looked after by the elderly couple upstairs giving her the satisfaction he wouldn't be alone in the apartment to get into trouble or become afraid. "Here we go," she said ten minutes later, leaving Phantom with the Jones' and thanking them profusely for this. "Honey, you need to work in the mornings and find a good man," Mrs. Jones whispered and winked at her. Oh, if only there was someone to wanted to date her on a budget she could. Smiling, she kissed Mrs. Jones and headed off to work. Hopefully she would get some tips tonight.

				That security woman still was keeping an eye on him, but he just ignored it for the time being.<br><br>Butch downed the last of his lag and flagged the waitress for another,&nbsp; looking around the room to see what was doing. Other than the tall Female, everything looked perfectly normal at first sight --for what passed for normal around here anyway.&nbsp; The usual laughter from the tables ahead, the dancing couples, trios and groups, the short-skirted and tight-topped ladies making their circuits around the tables until they got an invitation to stay or to go over to one of the private bathrooms in the back. You done it once, you done it a thousand times, and he was not sure he wanted that kind of life again.<br><br>The brothers were outside again, hunting, but since he was still recovering from his near-death experience they had left him behind. He was getting used to that too, but this thing of being like a doggen didn't suit him at all. Where was that waitress again? Ah, the big group had her distracted, but she'd be coming over in no time. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned his collar after a bit, it was getting warmer in here, and he was thirsty as hell.&nbsp; Looking over at the bar he saw there was an open area --it was early enough-- and he decided to head that way for once. <br><br>What could be the worst thing to happen, anyway? <br><br><br><br>"Rhage my man, did you get anything out of that one?" Vishous pocketed the lesser's wallet after checking out the address, not too out of the way, they could sweep by on the way to ZeroSum. Later. The vampire looked around as the mist of Mhis dissipated and gave a clearer image of his surroundings. Wearing his leathers had been a good idea after all, and even those had enough splatters of black blood to merit changing into something else. <br><br>

				Riley hurried down the streets of Caldwell towards ZeroSum on her bike. She had an old clunker while she had been in college but once the insurance company did not see it fit to pay for the last accident she was in, Riley sold the clunker to a junk yard. Made two hundred bucks off of it and she bought a used bicycle for fifty and the rest went to pay for her usual bills. Apartment, light, gas, internet, hell, even she made repairs around her place since her the apartment complex superintendent was either away at 'business' or came around just when she wanted to make a complaint with the city about the living conditions.<br><br>Huffing along in the slight frigid air, Riley managed to make it to ZeroSum with no problem. She checked the weather report before bicycling out and made sure to bundle herself up with a scarf, mittens, hat, sweater and a few henleys. "Hey Xhex," she whispered to the head of security for ZeroSum. If she had to compare Xhex to a famous celebrity, she would look like Arnold from Terminator but had the face of a pretty model. It was weird but comforting that Xhex had somewhat taken Riley under her wing in this place. Sure, Rehv, the owner scared the fuck out of her with his eyes and the tired nature she felt after being in his presence. <br><br>"You are almost late, let one of the security men put your bike in the back and get inside," she muttered, opening the employees' only door for her. The one thing she loved about going through the employees' door was the fact she did not have to pass by any potential customers. Riley had nothing wrong with any customers but dressed as she was now she looked like she was a homeless person. However once she entered into the employees' lounge and towards the set of steel lockers, Riley went to work on removing her warm clothes. Off came everything but a few pieces. Riley wore a short leather skirt topped with red, silk garters and matching belt along with a black tank top with the words 'Suck Me' on them. Hey, it brought in tips to add a bit of flair to it and the clip in highlights made her more open to getting tips and asked to be wait on.<br><br>Checking her watch, she headed out towards the bar to see what needed to be served. "The regulars in the VIP are waiting for someone to come over and take their orders but we need you here at the bar," Thomas, one of the regular bartenders yelled over the thump of the orgy-inducing music. Smiling, she patted Thomas's shoulder and let him know she would take the intiative. Grabbing up a black apron, tying it around her and taking a glance at where the usual bottles of alcohol were stored, Riley readied herself and started to take orders from the bar. A bad thing about her weight was the need to wear wedged heels in order to see above the heads of people as they ground their bodies against one another on the dance floor. <br><br>"Welcome to ZeroSum, anything in particular to drink tonight?," she asked a male who looked like he could use a drink after working too hard. He had loosened his tie and unbuttoned his collar, no doubt a human cop or business type though she pegged him for a cop because usually the businessmen tended to go uptown for the ritzy nightclubs and restaurants to get their kicks. She brushed back a black lock of hair and hoped her make up was not smudged. Maybe she would make up a couple of tips tonight if this one wanted one drink after the other.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"He struggled for a bit but after breaking both his arms, I had that fucker talking like a canary," he answered, laughing as he brushed his blonde locks behind his ears. No matter how many times he kept brushing his hair back it kept getting in his face. Wrath mentioned tying it back or getting a bandana if it really bothered him. Rhage could not see himself hiding his pretty hair especially with the ladies. He handed Vishous a piece of paper the now dead lesser had given to him before Rhage slit its neck. Even now he had black blood on his chest and side of his neck. "I need a drink after this shit," he muttered, shaking his head.

				Suck me. Now, that was a statement on and of itself.&nbsp; It also brought Butch's eyes to level with the bartender's top rather than her face --God, how tall was she?&nbsp; The cop was tall, yet... No, scratch that. The ex-cop was tall, yet he couldn't have that much on this woman. Well, the slogan could be taken two ways, so he looked lower. Things could be misleading in places like this one, so he reserved judgement as he looked up again to her greeting.&nbsp; Nice. He liked whatever she had going with her hair there, cute but wild, feminine, and the color made her eyes stand out.&nbsp; <br><br>He stared into them.<br><br>"Thank you." She must be new. Or perhaps she wasn't;&nbsp; he had never actually sat at the bar before, since the brotherhood usually shared the corner table where he had been before. "Hit me with a Lag, and keep them coming." He smiled up to her, eyes bright. "What did you say your name was?" It was time he moved on, anyway, and accept that Marissa had her own life now.<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Those fucks were dangerous, but the blond warrior made it look like a child's game sometimes. "Watch it, Hollywood. You're gonna get black blood all over the Reverend's furniture, and then we'll be drinking outside.&nbsp; Better change first, true?" He wanted to be there soon, anyway, but there was no need to bring the lessers with them. Vishous looked around for one last time, nodding to himself at a job well done and turned to face Rhage.&nbsp; <br><br>"Let's go get the jars."<br><br>

				Riley noticed the look of a man when he was checking out her breasts. In ZeroSum, it was a natural thing to realize when someone was watching another especially with the clothes she wore tonight. In between the men and even a few women at the club, it was no wonder if she walked in on some crude joke about her and the way she dressed. She usually put up with other customers making ogle eyes and even a few grabbing at her which Xhex handled for her. The last guy who grabbed her breast ended up on his face out in the alley with Xhex's footprint on the guy's ass, barring him from the club after that. Xhex took care of everyone while Rehv the Boss made the rounds around the club and she even felt the man in the vicinity of where she stood. <br><br>The Boss's purplish eyes almost like her birth stone always knew what was up and what was down. He even knew about the scar on her hand and the self-conscious nature she had if someone would find it disgusting. She had cut the palm of her hand as a child on broken glass on the beach at night and had no idea about the harm of salt water. When she dipped it into the water, she screamed in pain for her parents who had been strolling along the sandline watching the moon and stars above them. It was too late to be repaired and even now she covered the scar with cover up while she worked. She doubted the customers would appreciate a disfigured hand making their food and drinks. <br><br>Slowly, she nodded and took his order of of Lag and the second one to keep on coming. Riley asked if there was anything else he might want from the bar. At this job, it was best to ask the customer if they wanted more than they could probably think of to bring in more revenue for the club and more tips in her pocket. Silently, she waited to hear if there was anything else she could get for him as she fixed his Lag and slid it across the bar towards him. He had kind eyes but the crowlines surrounding his eyes showed he either laughed a lot or frowned a lot. When he asked for her name, she wondered if she should give him a fake name or her real one. Well, she would tell him her real name but keep her last name to heself. "Riley, nice to meet you," she answered as she filled another order for a group of partygoers.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>When it came to Hollywood and his beast, he made it look easy enough as taking a breath. Well, a bloody breath if his beast came out and usually there would be no bodies to be found if his beast came out for snacktime. "True, Rehv would kick my ass out and send us a bill for the clean up afterwards," he answered as he shook out his hair once more. The group needed to roll out and get a change of clothing before coming back to unwind at ZeroSum for a few hours. He even bet Butch was getting a head start at drinking and face planting himself in the private booth of theirs. <br><br>"Fine, but lets hurry up before we get a call on Butch not having cash to pay for his drinks," he answered, knowing when Butch started to drink it was no telling how much he could consume without knowing the price tag.

				<br>It was going to be a long night, and Butch was thankful for the quick service,&nbsp; lifting his lag in a toast to the bartender person. Did he want anything else? Well, how about a piece of that sweet a... waitaminute. Where had that come from, really? He was a total gentleman, V. must be rubbing off on him. Or something. "Riley" he said instead, echoing her own words. "Nice to meet you too." The name didn't give him much, but it was a rather masculine one, so there. But she had a really nice voice too that wasn't masculine at all. "That's one you don't hear too often, too. Riley. I'm Butch." He set his empty glass down and stretched his hand towards her for a&nbsp; shake. Lets see which one she does first. <br><br>From over his shoulder, a waitress stopped to give another order for one of the tables, giving Butch a sideways glance as she did.&nbsp; She probably wasn't used to people sitting at the bar on a full Armani suit. With a loose tie and open shirt.&nbsp; "Three beers for eleven, a scotch and a strawberry daiquiri for twenty three, looks like Cari got herself someone to pay for her drinks.&nbsp; Also the trio from seventeen has been locked&nbsp; in for a while, you may want to tell Xhex just in case." She smiled to Butch after that, all sweet. "Your friends not here tonight?" <br><br>"Not yet," Butch answered, "Looking for one in particular?" The tone had that 'get lost' quality, really. He didn't like cheerleaders that much, so he turned to the other side of the bar&nbsp; instead --Riley, that is. Pointedly.<br><br>+++++++++++++<br><br>"He'd have to drink half their stock before the cop 'd run out of cash these days" Vishious stated knowingly. Then, he started thinking about how much Irish Butch had in him, and the way he went through shots without even realizing. "So, yeah, we better out of here." <br><br>Said and done, the tattooed man disappeared, leaving nothing to remind anyone of all that had happened in this particular street. He'd been getting close to the cop lately. Far too close since he almost died. He could still sense him,&nbsp; where he was right now -ZeroSum- and he felt something else stirring at the thought. So damn stupid of him. He needed to feed soon, and besides Butch didn't swing that way.&nbsp; Maybe he should make that shower a cold one.<br>

				Butch, a good and sturdy name for him. Names like Simon, Bob or John would not have fit him but Butch was a good fit for a man who looked like he could be strong and hard against criminals. Her eyes flickered towards the outstretched hand and she was ready to accept it before Sonja came in to ask for a few orders to be filled. When Sonja looked Butch up and down like he was a money bag, Riley took it as an incentive to look closer at what he was wearing. When Sonja sniffed out men it was to find her next sugar daddy. The woman could spot a millionaire from half a mile away and somehow the sugar daddies did not care she wanted them for their money as long as they had a trophy on their arms. If Sonja eyeballed somone like Butch he had money and it was someone Riley needed to stay away from. The men who usually were the ones to be picked out as sugar daddies were real perverts from what Sonja informed her and maybe Butch could be one of them. <br><br>"Your next Lag will be up in a bit, Sir," she answered, not about to use his first name now. While Sonja might be open to be paid for all of her life that was not the life for Riley. Sure, she might be in desperate need of cash to pay off her student loans but she had her bartending and teaching assistant job to keep her afloat. Riley might go a few weeks without decent food and Phantom might get the best of the food to keep him nourished but it was better than being a kept woman. Not to say she hated the lifestyle Sonja led but it was not a lifestyle for Riley. Besides, what would her parents think if word got around of their daughter pimping herself out to old men for cash? Her mother would have a fit and her father would surely be disappointed in how she turned out to be in this world. <br><br>Turning away from Butch, she went to work on making the orders for Sonja. "Sure, I will let Xhex know about the table and you keep bringing more revenue for the club. More money the house brings in the better Rehv will be and maybe give us a raise," she joked as she placed the drinks on the table top for Sonja to pick up. If Sonja managed to snag Butch for her own, good luck for her but it seemed as if he was not interested in being hooked. Strange but nonetheless nothing to get worried over considering once his 'friends' showed up, he would be gone to their booth and she would be left to worry over the drinks she made. Not like he wanted to stay at the bar and talk with her. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"I am going to take a quick shower and head out on to ZeroSum before Butch gets into any stupid shit. With Marissa rejecting him, fuck, he could get into some deep shit all on his own," he muttered, shaking his head. He watched V disappeared and looked around. Nothing to take with him and with the hearts, he had to get them to the cave before he went back to hit the showers. <br><br>Hollywood smiled to himself having known V was thinking of the same thing when it came to Butch. Butch could drink like a fish and after the shit hitting the fan with Marissa, there was no telling how much he could drink by himself. He really hoped he would not cause any trouble or cause trouble with Rehv if the man decided to cut off Butch if he noticed him drinking too much. With a sigh, he dematerialized and got himself ready for a night of drinking with Butch to help him get over Marissa. It would take a miracle to get that man over Marissa. A real fucking miracle.

				So it was neither.&nbsp; Why would any beautiful woman be interested in him, anyway?&nbsp; Beth hadn't been, nor had Marissa. Maybe he just wasn't big enough. She could probably smell the evil in him. Sir. Good lord, she'd called him sir. Suddenly Butch felt old and overdressed. Screw that, he loved these clothes, and he wasn't old, goddamnit. He pushed the glass away, reaching into his jacket for the wad of cash. Without looking, he pulled a hundred and slid it across the bar and over to Riley. "That's for you" he said,&nbsp; "Just make sure that bit doesn't take much longer, and that you don't sir me again. I was never one and not gonna start now." <br><br>He sure wasn't,&nbsp; and nor was he going to fall for the waitress' boob job either. He could tell as soon as she brushed against his arm.&nbsp; He turned his back to her.&nbsp; "So tell me, Riley" he didn't miss the cold shoulder, but hell if he was going to let that stop him now. "How'd you get to bartending in this place? You don't look like most of them."&nbsp; Except perhaps Xhex, but without some of the edges. He looked over to the head of security for a split second, remembering the time the Reverend had sent her to him. That had been some interesting bathroom action for sure. Butch had a deep appreciation for the Female since, but wasn't in any rush to repeat the experience.&nbsp; Besides, he was done with vampire women anyway.<br><br>He returned his gaze to Riley, studying her for a little longer. She even had that 'good girl' vibe he got sometimes. It was a rare thing, particularly here.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>The shower was good.&nbsp; Damn good. At least now he wasn't covered in the lesser's stink. V's music thrummed through the pit as he stood under the running water, watching his hand glow and fill the bathroom with thick vapor.&nbsp; He had been using it a lot lately. On Butch's abdomen, cleaning the darkness that they had left inside of it over and over again. It had been a damn long month, for sure, but he wasn't going to give it up. They'd find out something permanent soon, and in the meanwhile... well, there was drinking and playing. The red sox had had a winning streak, so not everything were losses.

				It was not she hated or loathed him but who knew what Butch's character could be especially when it came to women. When he passed the bill over and to her surprised a one hundred bill, she wondered what his game was and maybe he was trying to be nice. Who knew, there were decent people out there in the world. "Sorry, Si..I mean Butch," she modified as it felt easy to switch to his real name but he was not going to get on her good side by tipping her nicely. Money did not impress her even if she was in need of it. Even moreso when he followed up his comment by another which made her fume.<br><br>"Look like most of them? Like some female who goes out with the customers or even fucks them in the bathroom like the hired ones?," she asked as she gave him a 'come-on' look as she served up another male who ended up at the bar. This man looked drawn out and haggard looking. Now this one was about to drown his sorrows in alcohol. She served Butch another lag to keep him happy with the drinks as she went about giving the down on his luck male a club soda. Strange for a man like him to want a club soda but she bet he was a recovering alcoholic who was trying desperately to stay on the bottle. Riley could not imagine anything which would make her want to do foul things to obtain the drink but everyone had a price when it came to hard things such as alcohol, drugs and maybe even sex. <br><br>Sex could easily become an addiction especially with Sonja who thrived on it but Riley rarely committed herself to hard times. Yes, she could admit she had done a bit of experimentation in college with men and women but she had never given up her virginity to anyone. To her giving herself over completely to another was too important to hand over to any male or female who wanted her in college. She had been given the nickname the 'teasing prude' because of how easily she could find herself experimentating in kissing another woman but never taking her to bed. Riley had long since put that reputation behind her and had to think about how she wanted her future. She wanted to teach and wanted to help her parents out the best way she could which meant taking two jobs to keep her afloat. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>After Hollywood went through the actions of the jars, he went about getting himself pretty for ZeroSum. Who knew who would be at ZeroSum, hell he only hoped the best for Butch. The man went through a lot especially having to turn his whole life upside for the Brotherhood. He had to give himself up as Cop but he doubted the man regretted it because of being able to be a rogue cop within the Brotherhood to help them out. Still, he felt for the man who was rejected twice but then again Beth was in love with Wrath to begin with and Marissa, well, Marissa was a bit high maintenance if he could admit to it. As he dressed for ZeroSum, he looked up to the ceiling and asked the Scribe Virgin to send something good down Butch's way. The man deserved a bit of happiness in his life other than his brotherly love with V. He was not about to touch that subject with a glock.

				Right now Butch's objective had nothing to do with impressing anyone or being nice, and a hell of a lot with keeping that Lagavulin splashing into his glass until he couldn't get it up to his mouth. At least it worked, even if it took her serving someone else's drink first. "There's another waiting if you don't let the bottom dry" he said then, gesturing with the glass to her to illustrate what he meant by that.&nbsp; He took a little bit longer before answering her question, enough to taste his single-malt and take a long, happy swallow.&nbsp; When he looked back at Riley it was then with a more thoughtful look. "No." <br><br>He set the glass down, holding it in both hands and propping his elbows on the bar to lean closer rather than raising his voice. He let her go around her business then, it wasn't as if he were monopolizing her attention. Butch nodded to the man on his side, knowing all too well that could have been him. That /would/ have been him if he hadn't met the brothers.&nbsp; Probably doing some P.I. work after being thrown out of the force, or down in a ditch somewhere, which was a hell of a lot more likely, knowing the way he rolled. A shadow crossed his face at the thought, but he was not going to let that stop him.<br><br>He waited until Riley was closer to speak again, finishing his sentence. "Like some woman or man who only cares of what they can get from anyone they meet. Or the hired ones for that matter." Butch looked up to her, lifting his glass back up to his lips. "Don't mind me, I'm close to drunk." His smile was back, though, without any artifice.<br><br>++++++++++++++<br><br>There was no prettying up for Vishous. Hell, he wasn't the pretty kind of man. Handsome, maybe, in a rugged kind of way if he even cared about anything like that --which he didn't.&nbsp; Truly he didn't envy Hollywood's looks at all, they'd probably have made his early life even worse than it had been. He got his glove on, and then got dressed, ready for action again. Butch had the escalade, so he just walked out and rematerialized a street away from the entrance to ZeroSum, making sure no one had seen it happen.

				At the moment, Riley's own motivation was to serve as fast as she could and accept the tips from the customers. The faster she got the drinks out, the faster her break could come for her. Rehv worked his breaks different and it appealed to her for the fact if she managed to get out a hundred drinks, she could get a paid fifteen minute break or an unpaid thirty minute break. It could be considered grueling to work an employee on piece work when it came to breaks but it only made Riley show Rehv she was a good bartender to keep around. From what she heard Rehv could easily fire and hire new people like the weather changes. Already two waitresses were fired for not making sure the partygoers ordered more than the people wanted. Riley was not about to make that mistake and lose a good thing.<br><br>Took her a bit to understand his saying not one for double meanings. Even in class, she struggled when it came to metaphors because hell at times she could take a while to find out every meaning from one line. It had helped her to write her metaphor papers better but it took too much time out of other things she could do. "Don't let the bottom dry?," she questioned to try and get to the root of the answer as she gave two Lags in anticipation of finishing the one he held in his hands. The man was going to give himself a bad liver with all of this drinking but it was his life and he was paying for the drinks which would Rehv all the more happy.<br><br>"Should I feel good that you do not think of me that way?," she asked as she handed him another Lag and hoped his friends would come soon. Somehow talking to him felt almost like an interrogation to see if he could get her in a corner. Most men usually wanted something from her whether it was free drinks or someone to bunk up with for the night. The only man she was interested in was her puggle and he knew to use the papers if he wanted to piss. With Butch, she wondered why he wanted to talk her to her. Could he be one of the regular men who wanted a bit of conversation while drinking to oblivion? Could be true considering he seemed not to care about her harsh words but continued to talk to her. When she saw the smile, she could not help but smile back, "You are something else, you know that?"<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>A splash of hair gel and run it through his fingers, Rhage looked like a hot motherfucker if he could say so himself. He eyed himself in the mirror and applied lip balm to her lips in case the females came around to kiss him while he drank his night away with Butch and V. Those two fuckers would not be getting any pussy without throwing him a line every so often. V usually scared the women away by staring at them too long and Butch gave off the 'don't give a fuck' vibe some women might not go for. As he shrugged into his shirt, he dematerialized to meet up with the group never knowing what tonight might turn out to be.

				"Or this could work too, yes." Butch's smile grew a little the moment she put the glasses in front of him. Now, that was service after all. "Much better." He lifted his glass in yet another appreciative toast before tossing it back. Hole in one, that, and he set it mouth down upon the counter. Oh yea, that had a good kick to it. Butch breathed in deeply, air hissing through his teeth. "Good one." It wasn't as if he was crying, really, but the eyes did have that watery feeling for a moment like something just kicked him hard in the gut and left a&nbsp; horseshoe behind. He was starting to have a good time. <br><br>"Don't let the bottom dry, keep'em coming, watch for the dregs, got it?" He winked once and headed for the new glass, turning it around and around rather than drinking it right away this time.&nbsp; "And you can feel however you want to feel. I am not anyone's father to tell them what they should or should not do." A brief shadow crossed his expression again at the thought of his father, but he pushed that away again. Far away.&nbsp; That's when he fell silent, pursing his lips in reaction to his own words. Fortunately, it was the last statement that got through then, bringing out another bright smile. "Don't I know it. Something else entirely." <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous let himself into the VIP section, finding their usual seat empty for once. Wait, he -knew- butch was here just wher... oh. He was sitting at the bar, fully stocked, and carrying a conversation with a Female that looked like she could take a good punch or three. Nice rack, too. He could definitely see Butch enjoying it, and the reaction it provoked was not unexpected, if inconvenient enough. He was such a piece of shit and he knew he had to stop those thoughts right away. Soon. Someday.&nbsp; He toyed with the idea of her tied up on his table, but gave it away a moment later when he started his way toward the bar. "Hey cop, what's doing?" His greeting included a brief nod to the Female. "Just to let you know we're over there, true?" <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>So Butch turned his head to Vishous words, "Doing well, V. I'll be there in a few." That said he turned to the woman once more. "Do they let you out to dance at all?"<br>

				Yes, this human was slowly starting to come around to shitfacing himself. She had seen it a hundred times with human patrons who were going to find oblivion at the bottom of the bottle. Not much to tell them once a customer made it to the land of drunkeness but she had to watch her comments now more than ever. While some drunks could be happy and jovial, others could be mean and nasty, set off by any phrase which did not sound right to them. "No problem, you want Lag, you will still keep getting them," she said as carefully as she could as she placed three more glasses for him to drink back.&nbsp; <br><br>When another patron came up to bar to retrieve Butch, she expected another human but this one looked as if he had been juicing on 'roids for the last five years. He was big and thick as a brickhouse. Hell, even under the strobe lights, Riley could see the tattoos on his face and an aura for her to tread carefully. Did these two involve themselves in shady dealings? Was Butch a dirty human cop while this guy was some sort of enforcer? Once more, she needed to let her thoughts slide and just fill out the drink orders. If she kept her eyes to the ground and kept her mouth shut, most people left her alone. This one male gave her the feeling to keep herself aware of whatever he might do in case he went full force out on anyone. Fights were not allowed in the club and this man could easily pick a fight with anyone. When Butch asked her whether she was given permission to dance, she looked towards the dance floor where she spotted Rehv watching her from across the room. Fuck, she wondered what the Boss was thinking about this exchange. <br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rehv's eyes narrowed as he watched the exchange of his female bartender with Butch and Vishous. Never a good thing for non-working girls to be involved with the Brothers. He had women for the men if the two need a bit of R &amp; R but Riley was a bartender and not up to 'fucking for pay'. Hell the female told him the first day if he was looking for a hooker that she was not looking to be that but instead to bartend and learn how to make daiquiri's and make revenue another way for the club. He knew she could hold her own against Butch but from what he heard about V's dark needs the man would scare Riley from his club. Nodding towards Xhex, he gave instructions for her to show V and Butch back to their private booth and keep them there. No use having to hire another bartender because she fell hard for someone who could not love her back. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex flexed her neck from one side to another. No use in getting these men hopes up on Riley fucking their brains in the bathroom. Hell, it would have been a new thing to hear Riley was going to fuck any customer. The woman usually was too busy on paying off her loans than to find herself a bedmate for the night. Pushing through the throng of people, she placed her hand on Butch's shoulder, interrupting the answer about to be given to Butch's comment on Riley being let out to dance. "Your table is waiting for you and Rhage keeps asking for you two, come on," she answered, glaring at V to try and disregard her statement.

				<br>Butch followed Riley's gaze over his shoulders and into Rehvenge's purple irises, and he gave the motherfucker a thumbs up for his choice of&nbsp; bartenders at least --and head of security, who he was talking to and who started to open a trail towards him. Ah, great, here comes the goddamn intervention. He chugged in another glass, giving the others to V. so that he could take them to their table for later. Rehv was probably going to cut his tap soon, and he wasn't half way down the road to shitface city yet. <br><br>He made a point not to look at Vishous, mainly because he was getting the territorial male message all over. He could tell him to back off, that he wasn't his bitch, but it wouldn't work if his voice cracked in the middle, so he refrained. He greeted Xhex instead, looking to the hand on his shoulder and smiling a little. He remembered that hand lower, rushing him out of his pants and against her. He remembered the tall Female's body flush against the bathroom mirror as he took her from behind, the way she bucked against him... no, not this time, he didn't want that&nbsp; any more. "I'll be going, Xhex" he said, not quite standing up.<br><br>"Soon as she answers my question." He nodded to Riley then, as if giving her permission to do just that. <br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous looked at the Female with intrigued amusement, particularly when he caught the close examination and gave the Female a half-fanged smirk. There was something about her that made him nervous, or at least, that made him want to be stay on his toes.&nbsp; When Butch gave him the glasses he nodded, and addressed the woman, "Get some gray goose sent over there too, yes?" He found himself smiling silly as he looked at the female's neck. Now, that was a beautiful neck. The cop always had an eye for the best females, that was true. And then there was that Xhex woman trying to stare him down, but she had no luck there. None. <br><br>"Thank you for the newsflash, Female. We'll get there when the cop is done, true?"<br>

				Rehv only nodded back and gripped the cane in his hands tighter. There was everything in the man's thumbs up which meant he needed to keep an eye on Riley and make sure she did not stick her nose in the Brotherhood's crotches. Last thing he needed was her claiming she was in love or somehow it was more to it than Butch wanting something to fuck. Not to say Riley was stupid when it came to things like that but when it came to the Brotherhood it was hard to say no to the bunch and not regret a thing. Already he felt something going on between Butch and Riley and as long as Riley knew now to fuck with the high paying customers, he would not prode her to watch herself. Besides, Xhex was going to make sure Riley was protected from the Brotherhood as if she was part of his own family.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex was not enjoying having to bounce these two back to the VIP room but knowing their antics anything could happen. Even more so when it came to virginal flesh and with V's creepy ass eyes, the man could be honing in on taking this female for a ride. In Xhex's opinion, V needed a strong and heavy hitting woman to take his ass and make him beg but he always went for the petite females, the better to break them in she guessed. Riley was not going to end up as a notch on his bedpost though she would not mind at all if she took V out for a ride. At least she would not come out of the bedroom shaking and crying like a rag doll chihuahua. <br><br>"Not when you are going to be interrupting business with you trying to pick up a bartender. Riley, you are to serve drinks remember?," she commented as she sneered at Vishous. He needed to stay away from Riley who was not on the list of females to be fucked in this place. If he wanted someone to fuck he had the option to pick up one of the hookers supplied to the VIP room. "Leave the bartenders alone or you will be cut off and thrown out," she answered as she made another motion for the two of them to go away and leave Riley in peace.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Fuck, she felt like she was being put on the spot, especially with Xhex giving her a warning to watch what she was going to answer next. Hell, she never thought a question such as asking whether or not she was allowed on the dance floor was going to knock off a few tips but it was only a small question. Not like Butch was questioning her on where she lived and whether she lived alone with no protection other than a puggle and a baseball bat. Butch just wanted to know if she was allowed away from her station. "Yes, but only on breaks, I am not one to play while on the job," she commented, nodding to Xhex to make sure she had not revealed too much.<br><br>Xhex nodded back as she eyed the other male with the tattoos down. When he smirked, it made her skin electrify a bit but never knew whether it was in slight interest or disgust. It was hard to think of him as enticing especially when he was eyeing her as if she was someone he could fuck and throw to the side. Riley may be protected by Xhex and Rehv because she a few months out of college and living by herself but she could hold her own. Even in classes, she held her own against the upper class students who assumed because they had the money, none of them were held responsible in group assignments or projects. Wrong, she held them responsible and earned a few enemies in those classes. "The Goose will come over as soon as you two go back to the VIP and thanks for the business," she answered, gripping the top and motioning for them to move on out. See? Even she could bring out some cajones every once in a while.

				<br>Oh yeah, the Reverend had an eye of them all right. Somehow, that made Butch feel ten kinds of weird. Xhex's attitude though was more than a little odd, and he took a step back inside himself to study it. She was kind of protective of this one, it seemed, and so was the other man. Maybe she was family or something?&nbsp; "Geez, Female. We are only giving her more business, but if you don't want it..." he said in reply, catching the drift and standing up. It was an easy movement if you don't count the brief swaying there. He reached for the bar to get vertical and took a moment to triangulate, steadying himself. <br><br>"Sides, Nobody is trying to pick up anyone, was I?" The question went to put Riley in the center of the hurricane again, and his wink did enough to tell that it just might be intentional. He didn't wait for an answer to turn to the masculine Female again, eyes bearing into hers. "Even if I were, I don't see anyone here who'd have a thing to complain about me in that department, right?" He left it at that, really. He did. "Hey Riley..." His voice had a lot less drink in it than it should, but still had that whisky-throat quality to it "...You are welcome to join us in your next break, for a smoke if anything. I promise we won't bite you." There, that was said with a side glance to V. even as he started walking.<br><br>Butch reached back to get the last glass before it was too far, "And thank you for the drinks."<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous knew when someone wanted a piece of him, and Xhex... she was a weird case of the 'I want you but stay away' kind. He had enough females trying to get some action with him that he didn't have to worry about those who didn't, but there was something thrilling about the idea of watching her fight the restraints. He'd found some fight usually spiced things up quite a bit, but they tended to break a lot faster that way too.&nbsp; He ignored the Female in a cordial but careful way rather than giving her more notice than she deserved. It wasn't as if they didn't respect them after all, and the whole attitude was making him more than a little edgy, even after dealing with the lessers earlier.<br><br>"She's scared for you" he said to Riley in a confidential way. "Don't mind her, she's trying to be a mother hen and failing though. There is nothing to be scared about unless you're doing things you shouldn't, right?" Eyes locked for a moment, and his own pupils started to darken and grow before he got them under control. With a sharp turn, he moved to follow the cop, not saying another word.

				Riley may not be blood kin but those who worked for and held their allegiance to Rehv usually were taken cared of in their own ways. For Riley, Rehv made sure she got a bigger cut of a wage when Xhex handed her the daily profits she was allowed to take home. The female gave a good six months of herself to this club and Rehv wanted to make sure it was not fucked over because Butch wanted a piece of ass to go along with his Lag. He was going to have a chat with Butch about distracting the non-hookers from their work and even thrown him a real hooker to get his mind off of Riley. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"You can give business but do not interrupt her from making drinks," Xhex answered as she gave a look to Riley to continue what she was doing before the two of them interrupted her shift. She almost rolled her eyes to see Butch swaying like a hula dancer in Hawaii and knew he was going to be out for the count in another hour or so with the way he kept chugging back the alcohol. Though if he kept it up, she might be able to get another round with him in the bathroom, hell, he may be human but he knew a way around a woman with his trousers around his knees. <br><br>He was really trying her patience especially with roping Riley back into this conversation. A glance over to Riley showed she struggled not to smile at Butch's words at trying to pick her up. She had no clue who she was involving herself with if she crossed the line and got anywhere near Butch's zipper. Now her patience was done as he threw back the night the two had in her face. Xhex placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezing just enough to show him he was not going to fuck with her orders any longer. "Move it or get the fuck out."<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br><em>"...You are welcome to join us in your next break, for a smoke if anything. I promise we won't bite you." </em><br><br>A direct hit to her lower stomach as she watched Butch glance towards the other male, Riley somehow knew she was caught in some tete-a-tete with a human cop and an enforcer who could easily break her in two. "Scared for me? She is looking out for me and my health," she answered, narrowing her eyes at him. He was not going to scare her even though on the inside she was a shaken up a bit with his eyes. Those were not normal eyes, they were almost trying to dive into her soul and find out her darkest secrets and secure them for blackmail. Weird for her to think that but anything was possible. "Adios," she whispered beneath her breath before she became distracted by another customer wanting a few martini's.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rhage smiled as he saw his brothers coming back to the VIP room. He wondered whether Xhex would kick the men into the booth rather than out of the club by the way he noticed the three of them at the bar. To Rhage, he had no clue what the fuck had gone down but he bet Butch would supply the information if he was drunk enough. Give him several bottles of his favorite stuff and the man was like a fucking canary, sung his heart out to anyone and everyone. That is what kept him to the Brothers no matter he was a human and could easily be snuffed out one of these days by his drinking or fighting. <br><br>A glance back to the bar showed the lone bartender female eyeing the back of Butch's head and shaking her head. Whether she shook her head in disappointment or amusement was hard to figure out but soon as a smile appeared on her lips did Rhage smile to himself. Well, well, well, it seemed Butch managed to bag himself a female other than Marissa for tonight. He wondered how long Butch would go without putting his foot in his mouth with the bartender but by the looks of things Xhex just may be cock blocking Butch from even finishing the job.

				<br>If anything was going to cockblock Butch tonight, it would be his own drinking, really. He put his hand on the one on his shoulder as he walked using it both as a directing wheel and to steady himself so that he could keep straight. "I'm going, mom." He latched to Vishous comment like a babe to the teat, grinning to himself as he went. "Be a good boy, I promise." The laughter in those words, however, was unmistakable.&nbsp; He walked away with less of a swagger than the number of drinks he'd had would call for, and seated himself at their usual table. <br><br>"Hey Hollywood. What's doin'?" The fucker had even gelled his hair, hadn't he? Bet Marissa would have gone for him in the blink of an eye, too. Allright Butch, quit that already. Rhage was a big asshole, but didn't deserve his jealousy.&nbsp; He was a good man. Vampire. Whatever. "You are a good man, Hol-lee-wood." Well there. So maybe he was three quarters of the way by now. He looked at the woman at the bar and smiled a little her way.&nbsp; He played with his glass rather than drinking this time. Maybe he didn't want to be totally gone so soon. She might still get a break.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous was uncharacteristically silent when he sat down again, putting the cop's drinks in front of him and looking over to Rhage with a nod.&nbsp; After that, he just stared into the distance for a while. He couldn't make sense of what he'd seen when he looked at the Female, and it was driving him mad. He knew he had seen something more, but he just couldn't bring himself back to remembering and it was driving him mad. The curve of her shoulder, the flickering of her hair against her neck as he pushed it away with his gloved hand. Someone else's eyes. Ah, fuck, he was so very screwed since the visions had dried up. All he got were bits and pieces anymore.<br><br>That 'We won't bite you' was a joke. Speak&nbsp; for yourself, cop, and Goddamn it if his fangs weren't aching for action. He picked up his cell and stared at it, put it back into his pocket. Screw that. He could wait, and someone had to get the cop home.<br><br>That's when the girls came over, flocking around Hollywood. V smirked all over again when he heard they came with compliments from the Reverend. "I'll pass" he said. None of these delicate females could take half of what he wanted to dish right now. For the Nth time, he wondered how it could be to really care about them the way the others did. He glanced towards the bar again, all too briefly. <br>

				Xhex pressed herself to the bar and leaned over for Riley to move in closer to listen to her words, "You best be careful of that group, Riley. They are the club's best customer but are bad when it comes to females. Stay clear of Vishous, the one with the tats on his face and you might keep your job," she hinted, making sure Riley knew the severity of the situation. While Rehv was willing to give her a chance and work the various shifts her body would allow if she started to get into other people's business, there was bound to be consequences. Better to warn her now than having to scrape her off the floor when those men stomped all over her. A harsh truth but there was no fucking true love no matter what the movies and books told people. <br><br>+++++++++++<br><br>While Riley appreciated Xhex's warning, she was a big girl and knew when to stay away from bad men who held out candy to her while in their cars. She was old enough to be on her own and take care of not only herself but a dog who seemed to eat his weight in food everyday. There was a line between giving advice and orders because right now Xhex was periously close to demanding she do not something. While the advice was going to be taken it was not as if Butch and the other man named Vishous were going to make a habit of bothering her. These men wanted their drinks and would get their whores somewhere else but it did not mean she could not be civil to them whenever they popped around the bar. That is what her job was to serve drinks and be friendly enough to get more tips and business for the club. <br><br>"While I appreciate your advice, Xhex, I am not going to be throwing myself all over these men to ravish and make me their shellan. Have some faith in me Xhex and tell Rehv not to worry too much about me or I might start thinking that he wants to adopt me into his family," she joked as she patted Xhex's arm and glanced down at the sheet she used to count off her drinks. Riley needed ten more drinks and she was off on her break. The need for a small break to clear her head of the conversation with Butch and the arrival of Xhex and Vishous warranted her a bathroom break and get a quick bite to eat. Luckily, there was an employees' lounge where she could settle herself and have the sandwich and water Riley packed before heading out of her apartment. Xhex and Rehv while were good Bosses were not her parents and she did not need another father figure in her life, thank you very much. Her father was the only man in her life she would call 'daddy' and no one else. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Just watching you two make fools of yourself. Why not hit on the other female with the fake knockers? She has been checking you out and at least she won't throw a drink in your face when you don't call her the next day," Rhage mused as he nodded towards Sonja who had bent over a bit too low at another VIP booth to showcase she was wearing nothing beneath her short skirt. Rhage whistled a bit and noticed Sonja bend even lower to try and seduce at least one of them away from the booth. Hell, if these two ugly fuckers did not get a piece of Sonja, he might fuck her himself. These two men were honing in on the female with the different highlights who was serving up drinks as if it was last call at a dive bar. <br><br>When the last drink was handed over, he noticed the female clap her hands and spread them out as if she was a card dealer at a Las Vegas casino instead of a bartender in ZeroSum. She walked towards another bartender, this one a male, he wondered how the two would take it from the way the two chatted and laughed easily. Hell, he was itching to see what Vishous would do if he ever came to care for anyone. No telling what would happen if it did but there was always a chance V would stop with his freaky shit and be with someone without making women scream in pain. "Waiting on a call for someone?," Rhage asked as he saw V go for his cell and stare at it as if someone should be calling him. <br><br>"Nice to see you ladies," Rhage muttered a few seconds later to hear the women came because of Rehv. Rehv usually did not send more than one female unless someone had caused trouble and needed to distract themselves for a bit. He looked over to see what Butch or V had done to get these girls to come over but he could care less. He had some females on his laps and he was going to use this to his advantage. Out of the corner of his eye, Rhage watched as the bartender chick kissed the male bartender on the cheek before she slipped away towards the back. Now he wondered if Butch would keep pushing his luck with the female or end up drinking the rest of his mind away tonight. Only time could tell.

				Butch took it easy for a bit,&nbsp; not even noticing the arrival of the working girls until he heard Hollywood's laughter. It was a telling laughter, that, meaning the big man was well on his way to get his beast sated soon. Good for him, he could have them all as far as he was concerned. Rumor had it that he already had, anyway, and it was most likely a true one. Rhage went through those women like he went through underwear, and between the minimum three showers a day and the beast, he surely had to go through a -lot- of the latter.&nbsp; Not that Butch had been in his drawers mind you. Haha, Drawers. Butch almost laughed out loud. That was a sign of just how much lag he'd had. <br><br>No wonder the woman wasn't coming. It isn't as if he could dance anyway, and where was he going to take her? The back bathroom? His old digs?&nbsp; Someone had to have cleaned those out already, and there was no way he was bringing a woman to the pit. He edged a glance to V. at that thought. They were good friends, but there were limits to everything. And whoa, that goatee was really starting to get to him. Maybe he should stop drinking for good. One of the women slid across Rhage to seat herself by Butch, and he gave her a brief pat on the hand. "Not interested, really." She was too blond, too pretty, too dainty. Definitely not her. <br><br>Through the corner of his eye he saw Riley slip out, and he grunted low before lifting his glass again. He should have known she wouldn't come to him. Only whores and... well, Xhex, did, and that last one was likely because Rhev had told her to. Besides, it was probably a good thing. Who knew what kind of shit he was carrying inside of him anyway. She was better off away from him and he knew it. Here's to fucking up big time. He drank deep.&nbsp; To Holywood he smiled, biglike smile. "Nah, not my type really." With all that was going on, he was almost afraid to think what his type might be.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Stick your nose in your own business, why don't you, Rhage?" Vishous snapped at the question while he pocketed his cell, but he didn't really care.&nbsp; He was bred to be a big bucket of testosterone for one, and raised directly under another. He smirked again, and his fangs showed some. There, let him think whatever he wanted. He had... he saw the bartender woman turn around to leave the wrong way, a second before Butch did. <br><br>Ah, fuck. She wasn't coming their way, was she? He should feel relieved, except for the fact that now that'd hit Butch bad. Cop had to stop hitting on those Females and stick to his kind, really. Most of them wouldn't even look at a human that way. The rejected female returned to Rhage's side, and the one on his lap made a little more room so that the third one, the redhead, could get her hand in between, discretely, and wink up to the blond warrior. Fuck, they were likely to do him right there even. Vishous cracked his neck and stood up, not quite willing to stay through it. "I'll be right back" was all he said as he left. The women were likely to be relieved. <br><br>The door had a big, bold, "employees only" sign, but fuck if Vishous cared about signs. He opened the door and closed it behind himself, firmly.

				On her side of the club, Riley chatted with the male bartender, Joey, for the last few drinks she prepared. "How is your boyfriend, Joey?," she questioned knowing Joey was in a one year committed relationship with his partner Mick. The two met at ZeroSum and the same night went home together before moving in the next night. Somehow she wondered how the two made it work knowing males were not physically able to drink from one another but from what she heard the two had a female who was willing to donate a few pints every now and then for cash. Riley wondered if that job was easy to be a blood bag for couples who were homosexual but life had its obstacles and people usually found their way around them. <br><br>"He is doing great, he is about to be promoted as head mechanic and we are thinking of finding a bigger home," he answered as he made a vodka martini for a group of females who were having their 'girl's night out'. She watched him perform a few tricks with the bottle before he served the women their alcoholic beverages and charge each of them fifteen dollars for it. Yes, drinks were very expensive in ZeroSum along with the food and the women. Rehv made a killing off of jacking up the prices and Riley could not complain because she made a small percentage of whatever she sold to the customers whether it was getting them to order food along with their drinks or even bringing more friends to ZeroSum. Hell even Rehv had a great health insurance plan and Riley had an appointment at the local clinic run by Doctor Havers to have her teeth cleaned. She only hoped Havers cleaned her teeth and did not find any cavities from the load of sugar she consumed. Not her fault chocolate and her was the best of friends.<br><br>On the last drink, Riley wrote it down, clapped her hands to ensure Rehv she was not taking anything from the bar and went over to kiss Joey on the cheek. It was a tradition Joey and her had. Whenever one was given reprieve from the work shift for a break a kiss on the cheek was given for good health and luck. She was going to kiss Joey to give him luck on getting to a quote of drinks for a break and health to put up with the clients and Boss. "If only your were straight Joey, I would snatch you up," she joked as she tottered away towards the Employees' Only Lounge. For some reason, she felt someone was watching her but she bet it was Rehv eyeing to make sure she did not slip away to meet Butch and Vishous. While the temptation was there, food outwon another conversation with Butch. Sorry to say but when it came to feeding an empty stomach and possibly losing a job because of conversation, Riley went with the safest bet.<br><br>While bartending was not much of a hard job to do the fact she served and prepared drinks on her shoes were killing her. Slipping off her heels, Riley was relieved of the pressure her toes were put in having to standing on the front of her feet the last few hours. She massaged the soles of her feet glad to have a fiffteen minute break. The only other person in the employees lounge was a bounce who was about to finish up his own break and head back to watch out for troublemakers. "See you Spike," she muttered as she gave the bouncer a half-hearted wave as she laid back on the leather couch kept for the employees to rest or even take a small nap. While she was hungry, a five minute rest would not hurt her and being able to place her legs on the couch tempted her to close her eyes and sigh in relief. Oh yes, that was the good stuff. As she heard the door to the lounge opened she kept her eyes closed assuming it was Spike who might have left his ear piece to listen to Rehv's instructions in his locker. "Spike, you need to keep the piece on you or Rehv is going to rip you a new one," she warned, unaware it was the tattooed-face Vishous who had arrived.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Don't take it so hard Butch, maybe she needed to freshen up to come over and meet you. The female has been working on her feet unlike you lovely ladies," he answered as he watched one the females palm him where he was the most excitable. Oh yes, he was going to get some tonight and he wondered which one would be the first one to take him in the bathroom. The alleyway was not the best choice to fuck one of these women and the bathroom was the only other place to whip his big boy out and go to town. He could do it here but with Butch looking all dejected and shit it would ruin the fucking moment. Hell, time to take these ladies to the bathroom.<br><br>However it was not about to leave before giving Butch some piece of advice. "Look, Butch, if you want her, you are going to have to clean yourself up and maybe not bring V around when you want to talk to her again. Fuck, he might scare her off and then you are left having to stroke one out by yourself," he teased, smiking before he winked and stood up. Alright time to show these ladies why he was called Hollywood because he could put stars in these ladies eyes when he was through with them. Sounded cheesy? Well fuck you, he was the shit.

				<br>"'s okay, Rhage." All said and done, Butch knew when to can it. He'd be just fine after this drink, and... where did V. go? He looked back and forth for a bit, giving up in the end.&nbsp; Weird.&nbsp; He listened to Rhage's advice and responded with a serious nod, his eyes closing there for a moment. Boring.&nbsp; "Get them out of here" he said, almost without slurring. The redhead one laughed and stood up, tugging on the blond vampire by the stick shift, which she would let go once&nbsp; he started following by himself. With a giggle, she took off, towards the back, private bathrooms. Lucky Rhage, it was not occupied anymore. <br><br>When Sonja came back to him with another glass of lag and a couple of gray goose ones for the others, he even smiled at her. "Hello." <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>For a while, Vishous just stopped to look.&nbsp; Standing behind the back of the couch was easy, and looking down at its contents easier even. Hell, he looked like a damn stalker, didn't he? He'd better start talking before she'd open her eyes and scream.&nbsp; Instead, he sat himself on the arm of the couch, right by her bared feet. She had nice ones, too. He picked up a smoke and lighted it just like he might a candle. Then took a long, deep pull from it before speaking.&nbsp; "Yo, Female." Right, perfect first words.<br><br>"Listen to what I have to say and then I'm gone, true?" He didn't wait for her to open her eyes but rather kept speaking through hell or high water. "I couldn't help noticing you smiling and making eyes at my man Butch, right? Anyway, I'm totally okay with it, but if you are the kind that is going to use him and toss him into the trash again, I can tell you that he's got friends who don't take kindly to that, you follow?" He was looking at her and noticing all the little things. The pull-stretch on that top when she breathed, for example. Or the curl of black hair that stretched along the side of her face, or the way her mini skirt rode up her... focus, Vishous.<br><br>"Don't give him any false hope, but if you really like him, he deserves something better than what he's had."<br><br>

				Sonja wondered what Riley did to make this male all hot and bothered. Hell, she had thought this guy would turn from Riley to her gazongas there were right in the man's face. Hell, she was in need of a sugar daddy after the last one left her for a younger and tighter human bitch. Now with her bills needing to be paid soon, the need for a man to fund her lifestyle was in the forefront of Sonja's mind. After she noticed the man at the bar talking to Riley, she knew he was the perfect target to have. She smiled now at the male named Butch and placed down a glass of Lag and the Gray Goose for the rest. However she noticed the other male had gotten up with the three hookers to god knows where to enjoy themselves. <br><br>"Hello right back, need someone to enjoy for the night, lovely?," she asked as she placed a hand on Butch's arm. Oh yes, this man was going to pay her bills and enjoy what she gave him even if she had other men on the side. Besides, not like Riley was going to keep this man interested in her with her meek look and her problems of having to pay for college. Fuck, who needed college?<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>After she commented for Spike to keep his ear piece close by, Riley yawned and stretched on the couch. While it might be unladylike to yawn like she was ready to dislodge her jaw like a snake and swallow an animal Riley could really give a fuck about it right now. She was tired, hungry and ready to drop dead but she knew even if she dropped dead the loan sharks would merely make her parents pay for her college fees. One thing was getting her to pay another to force her parents hand which she never would do even if she had to take extra shifts for work. She wiggled her toes in tune to a small song she heard over the radio a while back some heartwrenching tune by a band called the Kings of Leon. Riley would check out the Itunes site to see if she had the funds to download the hit onto her crappy Ipod. Only when she smelled cigarette smoke did she realize it was not Spike but someone else in the room with her. Whoever it was must love this particular smoke because it was making her want to sneeze. Riley sneezed once, twice, three times as she shook her head and her hair out along the couch seats.<br><br><em>Yo, female. </em><br><br>Where most might have screamed their fucking heads off and called for security, Riley merely opened her eyes and looked to Vishous. She was tense of course she had reason to be not knowing what he might try to do to her. Hell, he could rape here here and now and the only person who might hear her would be Joey if the music was not overriding her own screams for help. Instead, she listened to his words and rubbed her forehead to try and understand what he was telling her. "Look, I don't know what Butch might have told you but I was not trying to pick him up. Besides, Rehv has warned me not to try and go near your group because it could cost me my job. Now, I don't sleep with customers nor do I intentionally try to hook up with them but I can see Butch is a good guy, maybe a great guy but because of my job, I cannot risk it with having to pay off my college loans," she explained, sitting up and by doing so she pulled her skirt up higher. She reached down to pull it down, shaking her head. <br><br>"Besides, I bet there are other females waiting for him and if you do not mind you are in the employees' lounge." Riley looked to him to show himself out even as she watched him with curious eyes. The way he held himself and watched her while he smoked a cancer stick made her feel almost raw and naked. Almost as if he was going to strap her down to some board and make her scream in mercy and blissful pain.

				Butch&nbsp; gazed at Sonja and shook his head, grinning half-dazedly from his drink. "I'm all good with Miss. Lagavulin here. We make a perfect match." He smiled to her again, "I bring home the money and spend it all on her. Classic relationship, innit?"&nbsp; He patted Sonja's hand right back and sat back, looking at her. "You know what? I think I need some fresh air. Here." He pulled a few bills from his jacked and put them on the table. "The rest is for you. Now, stay here, I don't want company." <br><br>He stood up and took off, straight out of the back door.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Look at that mouth.&nbsp; He couldn't help but looking up after that yawn. Really, if she could open her throat that wide too, he... Words, V. Focus on the words. Something about Rhev and her job.&nbsp; College loans, check. Was she totally bare under that skirt? He could usually tell the difference being that his women always came to him like that, but he looked down too late, only to see her pulling it down. Damn. He took another drag of the smoke, letting it go real deep into his lungs before speaking again. "I don't care what the Reverend says, I'll talk to him if needed, you feel me? Just don't go to him if you aren't serious, 's all I'm saying. If you do like him, then knock yourself out." <br><br>He was going to say something about him being able to be wherever he wanted at this point, but there was one hell of a detour there when he caught that image straight out of her.&nbsp; Vishous froze, and suddenly he was totally geared. Full attention. Morning&nbsp; flag up. He most definitely wasn't gonna be getting up right away. "I told you I'd leave after you listened" he said instead, but his eyes were deep with hunger, and the tip of his fangs pressing under his lips was unmistakeable too.&nbsp; She had to be beautiful when she screamed.&nbsp; Young, fresh out of college. "He doesn't care for whores. They all want something from him that's not himself.&nbsp; And what do you know about blissful pain, anyway?" She might as well have said it out loud.<br>

				Riley was not totally bare under her skirt but instead wearing bikini cut undewear and spankies whenever she wore the leather skirts. Plus she powdered herself to keep the leather from chafing her skin unless she wanted to end up scratching herself between her legs all night long. Not the best image a paying customer wants to see nor receive any drink when the person's hands might not have been washed throughly of bacteria. Right now, she did not want Vishous to see her goodies or think he was getting a free pass on looking at her knickers. Just because she wore these things were not an extension of being some sort of whore. Most of the time she was settled in jeans, henleys and tennis shoes when she taught class.<br><br>"Why do I need your permission and your advice before I can think about Butch in that manner? Besides, I barely met him and yet you think I am going to go off and fuck him right in the middle of the dance floor. Who are you to tell me that you will talk to my Boss to get cleareance? Are you trying to be my pimp? Is that what you are?," she spouted out wanting to know who Vishous was and how he dared to get off on telling her what to do and having to watch herself around Butch. From what she saw, Butch was his own fucking person and if he could order Lags on his own then he could surely handle a female who was pixie-like in stature and not into bloody confrontations. Riley was angry enough to get on her knees and scoot over to where he was perched on the couch to get a better look at him. Sure, he could easily crush her skull with his bare hands and maybe even beat her until she was black and blue but she had a feeling he was not going to head down that path with her. If he wanted to scare and intimidate her then he was going to find just because she was some fresh out of college student that she had some cajones to go along with her intellect. <br><br>Hands on her hips, she looked at this man who looked like some fearsome warrior from a tale her mother used to tell her when she was little. She knew it was fiction this made up story called Black Dagger heroes but her mother nonetheless talked about strong and fearless vampire warriors who devoted themselves to protecting the vampire community. She never even seen evidence to suggest there was every a group by that name and put it to the back of her mental library as a fictional tale to keep her in line. Those same tales human parents told their children about the boogeyman who would take the kids away if the children did not behave themselves. Well, Vishous could easily become the boogeyman to those children with one look of his tattooed face and even as she eyed him, she had to watch herself around him. Who knew if her assumption of him not harming her was false and he was just waiting for her to get close before he hurt her? <br><br>Blissful pain?<br><br>Wait. What? She only thought about it a few minutes ago and yet he was asking her what she knew about blissful pain. Then she noticed the hunger in his eyes and she knew she was in severe trouble. No matter she knew the situation was tense, her skin electrified just like before with Butch but this time it happened because of Vishous. Strange. Very strange. "Why do you want to know that? I think you should leave," she answered before she reached out to try and push him off of the couch. It was a long shot to do so considering he had a good two hundred pounds over on her and lot of strength to back it up with. Her own breath was raspy and she could feel her fangs trying to put their way out but she was in no need of blood right now. Her last meal with a human had helped her with the strength and while humans were not the best type of blood to drink, it had to for her lifestyle. To take from another male vampire was the same as if she gave herself over to someone else. Too initimate and too personal to throw away.

				Well, at least the female had spunk. The part about being her pimp made him start to smile, but he didn't have a lot of time to reply. He was liking this female after all, she would be good for Butch if&nbsp; she didn't fuck it up. Particularly there on her knees. The invitation was written all over her top, and he found himself leaning over when she approached him, trying to look closer.&nbsp; "I think I should leave too" he agreed, still without getting up. <br><br>And then she reached out.<br><br>It was automatic, really. He reached for the hands that pushed at him, aiming for her wrists. Fight or no fight, he was a warrior and every bone in his body was built for attack and defense. When his hands closed about her arms, he pulled them back and behind her, bending them and lifting her towards himself at the same time. Small wrists, they fit on his hands perfectly, like they were meant for him. Would he fit inside her like that too? A tight, warm glove, he could feel it already. Up close and personal, she could feel every hard plane of his chest, up to and including the sheaths of his daggers in the front. <br><br>If he looked large before, close in he was massive in comparison with her frame. There was that masculine aura about him that was more than scent or touch, things that can't be consciously felt and yet tickle at the senses when his muscles shifted to bring Riley's body even closer. His nose reached down, brushing the side of her cheek as his head moved to hold her own aside while he reached for her neck. <br><br>There was no bite.<br><br>Instead, Vishous took a long, deep breath that ran across her skin on the inhale, tickling up from her chest to her throat, her shoulder and her back until he had it all into himself, tasting it as if it were the most delicious thing in the world.&nbsp; There. That's when his hands shifted, starting to transfer both of her arms to his left hand so that he could free his right one.&nbsp; "Do not." He whispered against her neck, right under her ear where he could feel her blood rushing. "Ever." Each word was pointed, sharp, weighed with intent. "Try to hit me." <br><br>"Again."<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Butch was walking easily out the road, leaving the escalade behind and just going around the building to catch some breath. That's when it hit him, the call. It was really close and he started toward it in a quick rush. Okay, maybe not so quick because he was still pretty loaded up, really. There were two lessers, just around the corner. Neither of them seemed a little bit surprised or threatened to see him there. In fact, it looked like they were waiting for him.

				Riley intended to push him away from her personal space. To show Vishous she had courage in her and to let him know he was not going to push her around. She was her own woman who made her own choices. No one was going to force her to be something she was not nor ever be someone's gutter fuck. Yes, gutter fuck because just looking Vishous over he could be one of those men who took his women in the gutter, fucked their brains out and left them on their knees to pick up their ripped panties. Just the thought of becoming his gutter whore made her sick to her stomach but intrigued her enough to even imagine herself as one of his anonymous fucks. <br><br>What was she thinking? He was a killer, a mad man, a male who seeked to try and make her submit to him. <em>I bet you would enjoy submitting to him, Riley. It has been too long since you let yourself be looked after by another</em>, her conscience whispered in her mind. She had to be her own person and take care of herself. With the world it was today, anyone could marry and everyone could leave one another for something better. If she ever mated it would be one time and with one man who cherished and loved her. Vishous could ruin all of that if he made her think of submitting against her will. She might enjoy it but she would hate herself for the rest of her life. Never would she let a man lead her life but never would she let a man think she was naive. <br><br>She struggled beneath his hands and tried her best to squirm as he pulled her arms behind her back, arching her back at an awkward angle for him. Felt like she was about to be offered up to someone on a plate and he was going to be the one gobbling her up this evening. His hands managed to get around her small wrists, delicate shaped but if she ever had the chance she would have found her clenched fists against his chest to ward him off. However as she was pressed against his broad barrel chest, her mind blanked when she felt daggers on him. Scrive Virgin of the Fade, he was some enforcer who cut up enemies and shipped their parts back to the mourning families as a warning. Was he going to use the knife on her?<br><br>"What...are you doing?," she asked on a whisper, her voice stuttering a bit as she tried to decipher what exactly he was doing to her neck. Was he trying to get a whiff of fear off of her? Her body shivered when he inhaled, her heart hitcing to do double time, the blood in her veins surging to the surface of her skin as if it were a Siren's call to other 'sailor' to partake of the lovely seas in Riley's veins. No one had marred her skin but there was always a chance to be the first to dine on her but it was up to Riley to pick who it was and right now V was tempting her hold on keeping herself together. Even now her breasts heaved beneath her bra and shirt almost as if she had been running a marathon all night long. She ached to be released from this awkward position and she growled when he mentioned that she should never hit him again.<br><br>Riley wondered if she was taking a chance on defying his words. She wanted him to see that just because she was a female, he was not going to push her around. Females had rights in the community now and were striving to be more dominant in the community. With the race depending on their survivals, females were highly prized but no one right off the street was going to claim her as theirs. No, she would choose who she wanted and if Vishous thought she would bend over and take it, he had another thing coming. "Do not assume to take me as some woman of the gutter for I will fight to the death to keep my virtue, V. Let. Me. Go," she threatened before she started to squirm in his embrace as if she was a hellion in despearate need for sanctuary. Could be a stupid move but she wanted out of the arms of someone who tempted her sanity and her strength. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Lessers were out tonight looking to grab any possible female vampire and impregnate her with the seed of the Omega. The first one had taken well and was out in the world but this time a fresh vampire would do just fine. Even if is was not possible to do so to be able to see what made a female vampire special in the community was better than nothing. However there was the matter of removing one Butch from this world and once the Cop was dead, no more problems from humans.

				<br>He had felt them. Whatever it is that they had done to him the last time, it made him know where they were. This was a sodding nightmare, and Butch wanted to wake up right-fucking-now.&nbsp; Was he one of them now? Maybe his hair would start going white and he would begin to smell like baby powder too. God, that sounded awful even in his head. Had they seen him? He picked up his phone and speed-dialed V. just as the pair began to move towards him. He reached for the glock --Here goes nothing.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Blessed Virgin, Female! What did you think I was going to do, rape you?" Was he? He was still his father's son, and he'd never been as aware of that fact as he was now. He wanted her, and that very fact was the one that had him push Riley away and down back onto the couch. Hard. Suddenly Vishous was disgusted, and it wasn't all directed to Riley but to himself.&nbsp; He'd always chosen the willing ones. The ones that could take him, not the ones that would fight and kick and scream.&nbsp; Not the ones that would say no. The impulse was strong when he felt the throbbing of her vein just by his lips, and only her last words had returned him to his senses.<br><br>I will fight to the death, she said. Yes Female, that's the only way there is to fight, he thought.<br><br>"Do not assume I don't get all the ass I want, and then some I don't care for, so let's be clear here."&nbsp; Vishous closed his arms in front of his chest, looking down at her with a meaningful glare. "There is no way one of us would hurt a Female, unless that were what said Female wanted. Now, a lot of you is telling me that you are one of them, so here's the deal. Don't push my buttons if you aren't ready for me to push yours. So."&nbsp; He was starting to say something else, but the cell ring stopped him and he reached for it automatically. "What the.. Butch?" In between one thing and the other he completely lost track of whatever he was going to say. When all he heard was the sound of a shot.. well, that was when all hell broke loose. <br><br>His first reaction was to go back the same door, but his blood knew that butch was the other way, straight.... he homed in. That way, the opposite one from the door he came into this room through. "What's the closest exit to go that way?" He pointed. <br><br>

				Well, he could rape her but pretend it was rough sex while she was off in the corner trying to clean up the bloody mess of herself. She doubted he was into any sweet and tender lovemaking. The way he looked and talked, he might as well pin a woman against the wall while he beat the crap out of her at the same time he fucked her. While it might appeal to someone like Xhex it scared the crap out of her. She wanted love not some combination of Ike and Tina Turner lover or even the infamous Sid and Nancy relationship. Hell it seemed Amy Winehouse was turning out like Nancy with being with an abusive husband but V could easily fall into that category. She had to watch herself around him.<br><br>When she was bucked off of him and onto the couch, she was only too glad it was a couch and not the floor. Nonetheless, she was dizzy from the quick way he threw her back. Her eyes looked around to find anything she could use as a weapon or to even calm herself down and dematerialized away from him. Sooner she got away from him, sooner she could let Rehv know he was right and that he needed to get V out of the club. What he had done was considered harassment and assault. Not something she was going to put up with at all. <br><br>She bared her teeth and clenched her fists after she heard his comments. "I. Don't. Want. You. You are the kind of male that pisses me off more than anything. In fact, you are the machismo kind of male that I have been fighting against and I cannot believe you would be hitting on me when you were trying not long ago to secure something for your friend Butch," she shot back as she looked up at him. He was not going to get the last word in. He was not going to get anything in when it came to her. Vishous was not about to think he could push her down and start spouting that she was interested in him. She was not but her body must be out of whack with the universe to think so and she needed to show that she was in control of every aspect. <br><br>"That way and go away!,' she screamed before she went to throw a pillow at his head. Sooner he left, the sooner she did not have to think about the fact she had shots outside the club. Whatever was going on seemed to be between V and one of his buddies. Fuck, she was stuck in a dilemma of whether or not to help him. Groaning, she grabbed her shoes and slipped into them. "Fuck, I cannot believe I am willing to help you out," she answered as she ran to grab a fire hydrant.

				<br>Vishous was off the couch and towards the door long before the cushion hit the floor, looking for the way out.&nbsp; From his point of view, it was taking forever. Why the hell did Butch get out of the bar, anyway, and where is Rhage? He found a closed door and kicked it out, open. He'd pay for it later, anyway.&nbsp; He followed his instinct from there, dimly aware of the female running after him but not really willing to stop. "Go back" he grunted backwards. Let's see if she could follow an order for once. He didn't need to have two people to look after when the lessers were involved --his nose told him that this was the case by now. <br><br>Butch was laying on the ground with an attacker at his throat. The cop's face was red from lack of breath but said attacker wasn't moving.&nbsp; Another one laid on the side bleeding from his chest, and was starting to get up. If the cop hadn't drunk so much, he'd have probably popped him, the bastard had a damn good aim. Vishous didn't see the third one come until he was atop him, and then the daggers were out.&nbsp; He could hear Butch try to say something, but right now he couldn't focus on that. He had to get this one out of the way real quick and no time for Mhis.&nbsp; Vishous hoped there were no humans about, even as he clocked the asshole one and sunk his dagger into his heart. No time for questions or searching here. <br><br>With a flash of light, the lesser was gone. Then he dived for the one that had Butch, without even looking back. Humans, much like vampires, had to breathe once in a while.<br>

				V should be happy she was out here helping the two or she would have been inside enjoying her sandwich with her drink. However, she was out here in the cold, tottering on her heels with a fire extinguisher ready to bash any persons head in if he or she got in her fucking way. Riley hated to see people fighting but even more to see lessers about knowing the sickly baby powder smile let her know it was the bastards who were here to try and murder their kind. Lessers and vampires were sworn enemies, there was no explanation as to how it happened but all she knew was if someone smelled baby powder it was time to get the hell out or be prepared for someone to die.<br><br>"Get the fuck away," she answered as she came upon the one who was choking Butch down. Pulling the mechanism which held the extinguisher closed up, she started to spray the hell out of the lesser at the same time trying to not get in V's way. Fuck, there were more coming around the corner, three of them pointing one finger at her and she knew she was screwed. She held the extinguisher up as her own bat ready to beat the shit out of them even if it might end up as her dying in the fight. Nevertheless, she was going to fight like a damn valkyrie and let out a war cry. <br><br>The first lesser came at her from the side trying to go for her ribs but she swung out with the extinguisher and was relived when it made contact with his neck. Such a beautiful feeling to hear the sound of a neck breaking but she knew these bastards were not dead just yet. The extinguisher was not going to help her as much as she could but she scratched at the second when he grabbed her by the stomach and slammed her against the wall. Riley screamed and banged her heels against the shins of the second lesser, screaming for help. Fuck, this was not good at all.

				The Omega's creations were strong as any vampire, and in most cases they were a lot harder to hurt.&nbsp; They also travelled in packs.&nbsp; Butch knew enough about that not to expect to survive this encounter, and was just ready to let go when the world went white and it started to snow. Only it wasn't the dead of winter. Then the weight was off of him and he suddenly could breathe. Enough to see the woman standing above him. Had he just been saved by a woman? Butch felt the kick to his pride deep down, and then he felt something else when the other lesser went for her. Fuck no, this was not happening. <br><br>As the cop began to stand up and reach for his other gun, the woman had taken care of her first attacker, and Vishous had just skewered the one left behind so that it couldn't get back to the fight.&nbsp; Another flash of light, the first three were gone. The Female's cry for help did the rest, because Butch had never seen Vishous react like that with anything.&nbsp; The growl that came out of that male came from the depths of his chest, and then the lesser that had Riley was peeled out of her like he was weightless. The third one was coming at them, and Butch got that one straight on the head just as the Mhis began to rise. "The chest, cop, you forget already?" <br><br>Butch ignored him and went to the woman instead, trying to get the fire extinguisher from her hands. "Are you okay?" He was truly concerned, at least, he wanted to make sure that she was fine, and she had pretty much saved his life there. "See.. that's what you get for not dancing with me."&nbsp; There's always joking to break the ice, you know?<br><br>There was one lesser laying down with a hole in his head, another with a nearly broken neck crawling around, and the one V. had on its knees, but it didn't look like there were more coming, particularly since the protective mist was up and enclosing them together. Butch couldn't sense them any more, and breathed in deeply. Then he stopped and looked at the closest lesser before shaking his head. Nah.&nbsp;

				When it came to lessers, all she learned was to either fight off their attacks and run away or to run in the first place and hope like hell they did not chase after you. With Riley it seemed she failed both things because had she not only fought against a lesser but she did not run away when she had the chance. Instead, she had thrown herself into the fray and now look what happened. She was up against the fucking wall with a lesser wrapping an arm around her neck to try and knock her unconscious. She grappled with the lesser as she continued to fight all the while losing oxygen fast. Fuck, she was starting to see black spots before her eyes, never a good sign. She was ready to say her last prayers and hope her neighbors watched over Phantom when she died before she heard the roar of a man about to murder and the feel of the lesser off of her back give her some hope.<br><br>"Fuc...k," she groaned as she fell to the ground, coughing and sputtering to get air back into her crying lungs. As she saw Butch kneel down to ask if she was fine, she gave him a small smile and nodded her answer instead of talking. It seemed like talking was not going to be in her cards for the next hour or so. Never had she realized how strong a lesser could be until he had a hand wrapped around her throat ready to snap her neck if she was too much for him to handle. When Butch joked about dancing, she should have smacked his arm but instead she laughed and nodded at his words. Hell, if she had danced with him, she would not have been in this kind of trouble and would not worry about bruising on her neck for the next few days. Fuck, she was going to have to wear a turtleneck sweater now.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>There was another sound, the sound of Hollywood arriving late for the damn party. "Fuck, I always miss the good stuff. Do I at least get any party favors?," he asked as he looked around at the carnage. At least the mhist was up and running. Hell, would have attracted a lot of humans if the shields were down and well, look at what he noticed. Rhage's eyes narrowed to see the same bartender female Butch had been talking to earlier on the ground with a hand on her chest and another pulling down her skirt. Well, well, well, it seemed Butch just could not think of a better way to impress a date than by showing her just what he could do with lessers. The man just had to upshow his own way of getting the ladies to fuck Rhage. Now if word got around, Butch would be getting all the pussy which was no problem considering the look he caught on the female's eyes. Looked as if she was grateful and adoring his help. Well, hit him with a baseball bat and call him Babe Fucking Ruth. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Can we get the fuck out of here before those lessers get up?," she asked as she eyed one lesser who she had broke its neck trying to crawl its way to her. It managed to grab her broken shoe but she kicked at it with the wedge and enjoyed another sound of a broken nose. Man, she enjoyed being able to get her aggression out but now what was going to happen? Was she going to get arrested for committing a crime or even fired for helping out? Just the thought of losing her job made her get up on wobbly legs and she looked around at the carnage.&nbsp; Oh, she was so going to get in trouble for helping out, she felt it in her bones.

				"You get to search that one" Vishous grunted at Rhage while pointed to the one that was still moving. "And then you can tell me how the cop ended here all alone by himself, Hollywood." He wasn't going to look at her. He wasn't. Instead he started going through the lesser's pockets over and over again until he found a wallet and threw it to the cop.&nbsp; He most definitely wasn't having a great day, and he had definitely snapped at the female. A female who seemed to have a lot more guts than sense, too.&nbsp; He kicked the lesser down, picked up his dagger again, and sunk it deep into the asshole's heart.&nbsp; "They are not getting up" he informed Riley as a reply to her question with a perfectly even voice even voice before he got up and moved to the last one.<br><br>Another wallet, another flash of light, another lesser gone back to the Omega --and good riddance.&nbsp; There was enough black blood on him to stink out the city again, but then so was there on the female. Had she actually bled the lesser with her shoe? That's what it looked like, at least, and when Vishous looked into her face there was a faint trace of admiration there that was more than rare.&nbsp; Besides, she had saved Butch's ass.&nbsp; Now he had to think about what to do with her.&nbsp; <br><br>He watched her stand and saw Butch stand with her, offering his arm like the perfect gentleman he was and looked away for a second to focus himself.&nbsp; The Mhis would cover them from humans for now, and the bodies were gone as was the blood. The fire extinguisher they could get rid of, but he wasn't sure about the woman herself. He finally turned over and back to the group to reach for the Female's neck. "Let me see that" he murmured. "If it isn't too much we might be able to make her forget." It was Butch that bristled at that, quickly. "Do you have to? I mean, who's she gonna tell?"<br><br>Vishous rubbed his head with his hand, not quite pulling his hair out but close. "It's probably too late, anyway. What do you say, female, who are you gonna tell?"<br><br>

				"I ended up with some hookers and what about you? I thought you would know the second he pissed himself and yet where were you, V?," Rhage asked back while he smiled like a fucking kid in a candy store as he started to search the lesser V picked out for him. Hell, he had been having a good time especially with a brunette who knew how to work her fucking tongue. Scribe Virgin of the Fade he had almost let the beast out and that was a rare thing to happen considering it only came out when it was angry and never during sex. However when he felt a disturbance between V and Butch than he realized why his beast was moving about because it was warning him of the danger his Brothers were in. He had to pull up his pants give the hooker an extra hundred for not finishing her off and had to high tail it out of the bathroom. The two other hookers had asked where he was going but when he threw a few hundreds at them and told them to stay there, those females stayed in position. After seeing this one lesser held a wallet and even a few hundred dollars, Rhage wondered if he could keep the money and spend it on the hookers. What? He had barely gotten blown before this haleshit storm came his way. <br><br>+++++++++++<br><br>Riley continued to rub her throat all while the thanking Butch for his assistance on the way up. Bloody fuck, her wedged heel was broken, she guessed from having smashed it into the lessers nose or even because she was kicking at the shins of another. This was going to make her entrance a lot more gimpy for she had to leave this fight to get back to work. Well, once she washed herself of this black stuff, what was it? Whatever it was, it smelled like something awful and might not be washable when she tried her hand to get the stains out of her clothes. Great, just peachy fucking keen. As she noticed V coming out her with his hand, she stepped away from him wondering if he was going to do some sort of sleeper hold on her or even break her neck to erase any witnesses from the crime.<br><br>He could make her forget? What group of vampires had she managed to get herself involed with in their troubles? Quickly, she placed a hand around her neck not about to give him a chance to touch her all the while noticing he only wore one glove. Was the other one mutiliated or scarred just like her own? Either way, she wondered how Butch would feel knowing that while he was fighting off lessers, his friend was trying to seduce her and grab her without asking for permission. While she should inform Butch of that, she looked to V hoping the man would figure out to talk to his friend later about what had gone down in the employees' lounge. On that note, she glanced back towards the broken door and only knew Xhex was going to be coming around soon enough to ask what the hell had gone down. Fuck, she would be lucky if Xhex and Rehv placed her on some sort of suspension instead of firing her outright.<br><br>"I doubt anyone would believe what happened and I might as well check myself into a crazy house if I tried," she explained holding up her hands as she looked to them all. She somehow felt this answer was important to the trio if it came down to not ending up like those lessers. Hell, the way V went about stabbing those lessers in the heart, she had a bet V would do the same to her if she went screaming to the glymera about it. Riley even bet the glymera would tell her she making up lies or she needed to see Havers about her 'condition'. Even if she managed to get someone to believe her it would ruin her career before it even started in the education world. Nope, be better off to keep her mouth shut and just try to forget about this horrible scene.

				<br>"You are welcome." Butch lent his arm to her for support, even if he wasn't all that steady himself. The walk and the fight had done their work at sobering him up, but still he had drunk like a cossak. If cossaks drank lag, anyway.&nbsp; Butch wanted to make sure she was well, and he didn't want her to forget him. Not tonight. He nodded in agreement with her, of course nobody would believe that. He wouldn't have, a year ago, but then his world had been turned inside out and backwards, much like her own now. She was taking it better than he did, at least. He felt some sort of triumph when she pulled away from Vishous' touch, and chided that possessive part of him with alacrity. <em>Down boy. It's V. and he is just trying to see if she's okay. </em><br><br>He brought his arm around her, slowly when she glanced back to the door in a silent gesture of protection. <em>Who was he kidding, anyway? If it hadn't been for her he'd be old history now.</em> That only made him bring her closer. "You're okay, kiddo. But you probably shouldn't go back in like this." Her shoes were a mess, and she had a fair amount of blood on herself. Had she scratched them? The thought made Butch shiver. <em>Oh baby, you can scratch me with those whenever you want</em>. The ex-cop couldn't help a smile at that, even if it could have been totally misinterpreted.&nbsp; "Come on, I'll take her home so that she can shower and change. You and Hollywood here can tell her boss so he doesn't pull a tooth thinking she just went out with us.&nbsp; Besides... there's the matter of the door." He hoped she would say yes and started up towards the car.<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>When she rejected his touch, the tattooed warrior just looked at her and tilted his head, his eyes glowing in the dark.&nbsp; He didn't try again, or he might do quite a bit more than touching. <br><br>Vishous didn't need his special vision to know this female would be trouble. The cop wanted her, and he wasn't the only one. Shit. Double shit. He picked up another smoke and lit it, considering the situation. The way the female was shying from him was probably good. He didn't need to get into it when Butch was so obviously taken. But if she hurt him, he'd make a number on her that she wouldn't forget. That was a promise to himself. Erasing her memories would have probably been a good thing to do, but it wasn't going to work when she had all that blood on her and who knows what on her neck.&nbsp; Then the cop started walking.<br><br>"Hold on there, Earnhardt. You aren't driving anywhere with as much as you drank, irish descent or not. We didn't just get these lessers off of you so that you could crash yourself against a wall, thank you very much. Hold on." He picked up his cell again and dialed. "Hey Z-man how's doing? No, all cool, all cool, can I give you a couple addresses? We won't be making it there to collect. He gestured to Butch, who tossed the wallets back to him so that he could read the addresses off of them. "Nothing, just a bit of a Civilian trouble, we'll see you at last meal, true?" By the time he hung up, Vishous was a lot more collected, and the cig half smoked.&nbsp; That's when he caught sight of movement at the broken door. Great. Now he'd have to deal with Miss Muscles. <br>

				Gratefully, Riley accepted Butch's arm for support and wobbled on her heels. If she could, she would go without her heels and walk around barefoot but she had no clue what was lying about in the alleyway. All she knew was that she had no need to be stabbed by a hyperdermic needle even if she was not able to contract infectious diseases like illnesses, she would have to find a blood donor to replace her blood loss. Her eyes flickered towards Butch's carotid artery and wondered what his blood would taste like but she mentally smacked herself for even thinking in that manner. <br><br>However when he brought his arm around her, it felt nice to have that sort of comfort. <em>Down, Riley, you know you cannot mess with men who are dangerous and will likely murder you if you snitch</em>, her conscience chimed in to inform her to watch herself. "Not a kiddo, just Riley will do," she answered as she looked down at her bloody nails. The blood was not her own but from the lesser who had slammed her against the wall. She had come at the hand which clenched around her neck with her nails, not caring if she broke her nails but only to get the lesser to stop choking her. "I just need to ditch these clothes and get into the spare I have," she started as she eyed the others. Her eyes flickered over the blonde Adonis and stopped on V's own face wondering if he knew that he scared and peaked her interest in the same breath.<br><br>++++++++++++<br><br>After she heard the tell tale sound of gunfire followed by shattering of one of their club's door, Xhex had a pretty good idea who had caused the mayhem. What she had no expected was to see Riley covered in lesser's blood or looking as if she was going to go home with Butch. Not on her fucking watch and she had warned the female to watch herself around these men. She did not want to do this but she had to in order to keep the business running and keep unwanted attention from ZeroSum. "Riley, I warned you and you disobeyed orders, get yourself cleaned up and Rehv will see you in his office," she stated, shaking her head in disappointment. She had tried her best to keep Riley away from this world. The female could not possibly be thrown into this new area and not fall flat on her face. <br><br>+++++++++++<br><br>"Shit," she muttered beneath her breath, wondering what Rehv would want to say to her. She had tried to help Butch out and now it seemed she might be fired for her actions. Damn it, being fired by Rehv would not be good but it would also be worse if she had to find another job which might not pay as much as ZeroSum would. Fuck, she really wondered if she made a good choice but she knew in her heart of hearts it was the right thing to do. To leave Butch out here to be strangled to death where she could have helped him would have haunted her for the rest of vampiric life. Even if she might be fired, at least she helped out the best way she could and she thanked the others as well for helping out.<br><br>Riley rubbed the back of her neck and sighed to herself. "I should get inside and at least change into the second pair of clothing I brought," she mused, looking over to Butch silently. Riley always left a second pair of clothing in case she stained or tore the first set while she worked on her shift. Right now, she was grateful for the clothing in her locker knowing her locker held a pair of dark jeans, henley top and boots which were a lot more comforting than her now broken wedges. "Come on, you can clean yourself up in the private bathroom for employees, it even has a shower and don't ask why," she commented as she removed herself from Butch's embrace and walked with a side step towards the broken door. Oh, if only there was some music, she could try and work this dirty alleyway.

				The ex-cop couldn't quite hold back a grin when he was told not to call her kiddo, but he didn't do it again. "Okay, Riley." He held her there and saw her steal a glance to his neck, which made him almost take a double take. But then, it had been obvious. She had had to be strong to lift that fire extinguisher the way she had. A human woman wouldn't have been able to knock a lesser off of him, he should have known that. Still, that look at his neck had made him more than a little aware, and he knew he would feed her if she wanted him to. Hell, just the idea had him growing out of his shorts. God bless Armani, that cut could hide almost everything, but he really had to stop that, and besides, just look at the way she looked at Rhage and V. they were her own damn species after all. It had just been far too long since he'd had a good lay.&nbsp; And speaking of that, lookie who was coming through the door.&nbsp; He held Riley tighter for a moment there.<br><br>"Do /not/ speak to her like that." Butch's voice wasn't threatening, but he knew V. was getting ready to say something already and his would definitely be, so he had to get his own words first.&nbsp; "Really Xhex. Are you running a club or a military unit?" He felt Riley pull away from him and cursed inwardly, it looked like he didn't get to take her home after all, and he regretted that already, even if he knew it was for the best. "How about shoes, do you have some? What size do you wear?" He looked over to catch Rhage's silly grin at his question, but he just stared the warrior down. If she could lift a fire extinguisher to help him, he damn well could get her some new shoes. <br><br>In fact, she couldn't be walking on those, so when she started sidestepping he went over and swept her up. This is something he could do, at least.&nbsp; Mostly.&nbsp; "But I'm curious" he said after a moment as he reached the door. "If I don't ask why, will you tell me anyway?" <br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Butch was right, because Vishous had already opened his mouth when the cop told Xhex to shut it. Who did she think she was anyway, an army's sergeant?. Now, that was a visual aid there, though, he could just see her pushing their little ragtag band of pretransition soldiers around. Now, they would all have crushes on the teacher, wouldn't they? He shook his head and finished his cig instead of talking, giving Rhage a sideways glance. At least he hadn't had any blood on him. "I could use a wash" he admitted. "Hollywood, I have some leathers in the car, if you would?"&nbsp; That, and he wanted a word with Rhev. What the fuck did he get off in ordering his employees not to talk to him, anyway?<br><br>He walked in after the pair after stepping on the butt of his smoke. For some reason he just didn't want her to see him burn it with his hand --she'd had enough shockers for a day.

				"Aye, aye, Captain V," Rhage joked as he eyed the group, shaking his head in amusement. If he did not know any better, it would look as if V and Butch wanted to defend Riley's honor. Hell, he bet V just wanted to help Butch get some good pussy and maybe even get the two into a threesome with him. Even now, it could be a possibility, the way the two of them were like together, almost seemed as if the two were in a relationship and just trying to find themselves a woman who could handle the fact V wanted to own and fuck Butch's brains out. Butch's ass better watch out or maybe more so his heard by the way he looked at the bartender chick. Nevertheless, the female looked awfully familiar now that he got to see her up close. Oh damn, it was John Matthew's private Professor, well one of the candidates to teach John privately. John had wanted to try and take private college classes from the local university but wanted to take it with a Professor who was not a man and instead a woman who could understand the need for him not to be involved with other students. <br><br>Fritz, their doggen had gone out to find a suitable Professor in literature and mythology and came up with a few names and background information. Wrath had yet to make a choice but he remembered the photographs of the women in case he wanted to put out the Hollywood charm and have them teach him in his bedroom. Oh fucking hell, he wondered what V and Butch would think if the two went back to the compound and found out Riley could possibly be the private tutor for John Matthew on the weekends. The details of how the tutoring was going to take place were still being worked out but he wondered if Butch and V knew they could see Riley more and more if she were picked as a tutor for John instead of having to include her in lesser take downs for a first date.<br><br>++++++++++++<br><br>Riley knew not whether to thank Butch or to try and be a feminist vampire and ask him to put her down. Instead, she wiggled for a few seconds before she 'gave' in to his hold and leaned into his embrace. "You like to ask a lot of questions and I am a size five but you do not have to buy me shoes for helping out?," she said to Butch as she glanced at the others. It seemed there was going to be a need to explain themselves but really all she wanted was food, wash herself up and then maybe try and save her job. However, she had no clue which was more important especially since her stomach was growling like Phantom when something bothered him and the blood was starting to stick to her skin. Food sounded really good right now and she wondered if it would be weird to start eating a cheeseburger while she showered in the employees lounge. Hell, to even try that out, she had to somehow be comfortable with these men not trying to peek in and watch her bathe. Already she noticed the blonde one eyeing her a little too closely as if he wanted to see whether or not her t-shirt with the words, 'Suck Me' was a come on for him to suck her. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex turned around and went after V to talk to him, stopping him from going further into the lounge. "You are not my mate nor my Boss to tell me how I should fucking talk," Xhex answered as she stood in front of V, arms crossed over her buffed out chest. She could not believe Butch and the others were going to get himself involved in matters that were none of his business. Riley knew the rules and knew to stay away from the group in order to keep her job. She even signed a statement not to cause trouble and yet she had by involving herself in this fight which ended up with a broken door and possibly even humans hearing the scuffle in the alleyway. Xhex only hoped the men had placed up the mhist in time before the trio went at the lessers.<br><br>"You need to stay the fuck away from Riley, she is not someone to fucking take back for some wild ride in the alleyway. If you need someone who is not going to end up in the hospital after you fuck her than take one of the whores we have, V, but unless you want your ass banned from ZeroSum stop trying to hit on the good ones," she threatened, staring him straight in the eye. Riley was not on his fucking radar, the woman was going to do a whole lot fucking better in this world without involving herself with the Brotherhood, especially not having to know the realities of a man who could only beat a bitch to get the fuck off. Oh yes, Rehv had revealed just what this fucker's head was all about and the stories of his time in the camps. Nothing good could come of him tainting a female who was helping the community out by actually wanting to teach the young vampires and grow up to take care of the glymera.

				Carrying Riley was easier once she leaned back into him, and Butch murmured, "Nobody said I had to, but if you are going to go around kicking lessers with them, I'd like to make sure they won't break from it." He almost sounded serious, too. Besides, the ex-cop would enjoy finding the right pair of pumps for her, like a prince charming kind of thing. He grinned at that, and after a question or two found the way into the employees lounge. Was that her stomach growling? Good lord, what he wouldn't give to feed her now. In fact, he could get her something good while she showered.&nbsp; "I'm starving" he said, "What would you like to eat?" Not exactly an invitation, but easier not to have it declined too.<br><br>It was probably a good thing that Butch couldn't read minds, because he'd likely have socked Rhage a good one right then. I mean, really, it wasn't like that with V. Except maybe that one time&nbsp; when he had him drink his blood, and even then, it was the blood's fault and he damn well hadn't gotten fucked up the ass either. At least that was Butch's take on it were he to even consider what Rhage was going about in his head right now. Maybe.&nbsp; Rhage might find Vishous looking at him funny there for a minute, and he might get a moment to think on whether his thoughts had been too loud before Vishous got stopped by Xhex. The cop never noticed.<br><br>++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous stopped in place when Xhex got in the way, but his eyes followed the other two with a stubborn intensity before focusing back on the female that had gotten in between. He suddenly found out that he didn't like when someone got in between him and those two. Not a little bit. Aggression flared through him for a moment before he knew to chill out. He had a pretty good idea of where that was coming from, and some female was going to get lucky before sunrise. "First," he stated, keeping his gaze straight into Xhex's eyes "It was Butch who said it, but I am behind him a hundred percent." Did that come out all right? Suddenly the connotations were different after catching Rhage's&nbsp; careless imagery.&nbsp; They really needed to stop broadcasting their thoughts around him.&nbsp; "And you would have liked it much less the way I would have put it, you feel me?"<br><br>He never took his eyes away from hers, and continued. "Second, and as you put it, you are not my mate nor my boss to tell me who I need to stay away, and for that matter, nor are you that Female's, unless I did miss something." That is when he looked down for the first time, a long, deliberate stare down her neck, her chest, abdomen and groin, where it paused meaningfully for a moment before travelling back up. "Did I?" A pause, and then he picked up where he left. "I didn't take her out on the alleyways, FYI,&nbsp; much less for a fuck. In fact, I told her to stay back, but I am damn glad that she did or we'd have one less cop, and this is one that neither of us wants to lose. As for us being banned from ZeroSum, go ahead. Try it. I don't think your boss will be all that happy to have us hang somewhere else when there are lessers waiting on the back door for whoever comes out first. It just might happen to be you." <br><br>He pushed past her, royally pissed, but he had to say something else before he went, so he turned again to face her. "I don't need any lectures of what to do or not when I get off, either. Neither can your whores take what I dish, nor should you be saying that because they make their living by fucking men they are game for anyone who wants to beat them. You know what, Xhex, you are been just as two-faced as the glymera are. In fact..." he picked up his cellphone again. "The females I choose are honored by it, and they come on their own will to me. I don't need to pay or rape anyone. I would offer you a place, but you'd just say you didn't enjoy anything about it right after you cream all over my whip."<br><br><br>

				Laughing, Riley knew Butch had her when it came to sturdy shoes that would kick lessers ass. Hell, the way the Caldwell town was going, more and more lessers were popping up around the place and taking out the vampires. Right now the community was having a hard time trying to up its numbers with women being a rare commodity and the rate of deaths because of female birthing was taking its toll. With the way things were going, Riley wondered if the glymera would go to such lengths as having surrogate human mothers to carry the children of vampires and get rid of the bodies in case the women died in birth. A horrible thought to think about but one never knew when a species was on the brink of extinction. <br><br>"Alright but only if I go along so you do not try to buy me really expensive ones. I am fine with just some boots or wedges," she answered, hoping he was not thinking it was a way to get into her pants but she was not going to think about that right now. Right now, she needed to shower and hope Rehv was not going to run her ass out of ZeroSum for disobeying his warnings. She patted for Butch to put her down to the entrance of the shower, not about to have him help her undress or anything. Riley was able to undress and shower by herself but his offer of food did make her ask for a cheeseburger, fries and shake if he was up for it. "Been a while since I had a cheeseburger," she commented, rubbing her hands on her thighs as she looked to him. For a few moments, she thought she was on a date and Butch was going to ask her out for another one. Strange. What was more strange was the notice of Xhex and V talking and even seeing Xhex's own face twisting into anger and revulsion. What the hell was going on now?<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"She is friend of mine and I will not have you fucking her life over for some cock," she stated as bluntly as she could say it without throwing V out on his ass. He had a lot of fucking nerve especially thinking any and every woman was his to have. Riley made her own choices but right now she could see Riley was making a mistake in befriending these men even if it was just to be kind. The female had no clue what the fuck she was getting herself into especially when it came to V. She bet if Riley had seen V with other females it would definitely get her the fuck away from him and keep her distance. Nonetheless, if Xhex had to, she would reveal to Riley who these men were and why she needed to keep her distance if she wanted to keep her simple life. A life as a whore of the Brothers was not a life that could be led well especially when these men were in dire need to replace their numbers in the battlefield.<br><br>That was it. That was the last fucking straw. "You have sealed her fate," she threatened. Xhex's fists were clenched, ready to throw down in the fucking lounge. He had no fucking right to talk to her in that manner especially in a place where Rehv owned and operated. Hell, Rehv owned much of what the Brotherhood wanted and needed. He could easily cut off Butch's supply of Lag, make the females stay away from Rhage and even have the glymera get Wrath to take V off of the team for the safety of the community. Rehv could do that with a snap of his fucking fingers. With Riley's fate, Rehv and the glymera would put her into sechulsion to make sure no harm befall a female who could be an assest to the community and even procure her a good husband who will bring forth a child into the community. In this world, women were made to breed or to educate but if V kept pushing it, Rehv would have it in his power with the glymera to bar Riley from ever seeing the light of the moon again. Anything to keep her out of this world. Rehv was going overboard on this female but there was a reason for it. He was just acting on orders from her parents to watch over Riley and keep her safe in exchange to keep an eye on Rehv's ailing mother.

				<br>Butch felt his heart lifting at Riley's laugh, and he fought the urge to leaning down and kissing her. What was he, a caveman? He was dying to do it, too.&nbsp; "I don't know" he answered her request for cheap shoes with a smile. "I haven't had to check for the price of things since I got this gig." He let her down slowly, careful so that she wouldn't hurt herself when she put her feet on the ground. "Besides, I have no idea what crystal slippers go for these days." The taunt there was playful, but it had a glimmer of truth to it too. To Butch, Riley was a fairy tale princess, and clearly to be treated as such. Fed. Provided for. Good lord, he just needed to add pregnant and in the kitchen to that, didn't he? He gave himself a mental slap. Really, Butch, way to think about a woman in the twenty first century.<br><br>"A cheeseburger it is, then, Milady." He offered a bow Fritz would have been proud of,&nbsp; and turned around. From over his shoulder he said "Don't be going anywhere before I come back with it, true?" He didn't wait for an answer either, and rushed out to catch Rhage. He'd never get off with a warning if another cop pulled a breathalyzer to him, so he'd better get himself a chauffeur instead.&nbsp; "Hey, Hollywood, you done in there yet?" He had to wait a few minutes before the parade started out of the bathroom, one hooker at a time, and Rhage last, with his fucking satisfied grin. God, if only he had that kind of stamina. Three at a time had to be something. <br><br>Aaaanyway. "I need you to do me a solid, Hollywood. Drive me to get some food?" He knew the blond warrior would want some of that too, after all the exercise. If there was anything Hollywood enjoyed more than women, it was food.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>"You really have no idea, do you?" Vishous was past letting this female get on his nerves again, so he breathed in and out.&nbsp; Then he smiled and watched her straight in the eye as he made his call. Always the same. He waited for his chosen one to pick up. It was a large, muscular Female that liked it particularly rough, and could take more than most. He thought about one that had Riley's build at first, but decided against it; somehow that seemed totally wrong. "Meet me two hours before sunrise" he said into the receiver. "Wear..." He looked at Xhex, taking his time to describe something similar to what the Female had on. He would enjoy cutting those off of her little by little. "Keep your hair atop your head and off your neck." He just waited for the right answer then, and didn't say goodbye, just pocketed the cell back.<br><br>When he spoke to Xhex again, it was in total calm and as he lit another smoke. "Her fate is her own, and the Scribe Virgin keeps the balance. Don't fuck with me, Xhex. I ain't yours, and nor is she. Don't worry, though. The cop's got dibs, after all."&nbsp; With that, he turned around and out, looking for Rehvenge's office.&nbsp; He went in without knocking, as usual.<br>

				Once on the ground, she kicked off her bloody and broken wedges and pushed them to the side. No need for anyone to break their necks if one tripped over her shoes now. "What gig do you have that you are allowed to drink on the job and pick up Cinderella bartenders?," she answered back but a smile played on her lips. Man, she needed to stop whatever she was doing with Butch, the conversation before somone thought this was flirting or her trying to pick him up. Riley was known not to pick up on social cues and ended up with egg on her face plenty of times. <br><br>Laughing once more as he bowed before her, she did her best in kneeling and knew Xhex had seen it by the way the other female loudly cleared her throat. She was going to mention to Butch she was going to shower but he had gone off to find his other friend who Riley dubbed the&nbsp; 'Adonis'. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed a large pair of leathers laying on the couch and she assumed the blonde must have left that for maybe V or Butch to try on. As for Riley, she let V and Xhex talk over what was needed to be said as she grabbed her clothes from the locker and headed off to shower. <br><br>"Please do not trip over my broken shoes, I do not want to murder someone on accident," she called out over her shoulder and glanced at V for the longest before she turned away. She needed to turn herself into the damn crazy place for the way she kept eyeing not only Butch but V as well. He merely rattled her because of the couch thing but it would be cleared up once he saw that she was not going to be playing for keeps with two men and not even one at that.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex knew he was pushing his luck especially once Rehv managed to see exactly what V had been trying to get at with Riley on the couch. Rehv was not stupid, he had cameras everywhere and once he saw what V had done, it would only be time before Riley was placed into sehculsion, it was for the best. Rehv knew what was the best course of action for Riley and no one was going to disobey his orders once he made them out with the glymera which only made Xhex more determined to show Vishous who fucking knew what in this place. "You think this is a game, V? You think that you can somehow unnerve me by fucking some other female while she wears something I wore today? Guess what? Ain't going to fucking happen. Here is the thing, while you think you are breaking some female who pretends to be me, I will never get down to that bitch's level and surrender to you," she answered, sneering at him and hoping to the Scribe Virgin that she inflicted more heinous pain on him than whatever the fuck happened in the camps. That was how pissed off she was. Never fuck with Xhex when she has not gotten any cock in a while. As he walked away, she could only smile for he knew not what he was getting himself into. She stayed behind to watch over RIley and wait to talk to her in private. <br><br>Rehv looked up from having seen the footage of what V had done to Riley. No one screwed with her employees especially this one. Did he have to spell it out to V to stay away from her? Well, he would have to make much more clearer as he nodded for his men to close and stand by the door. "Nice to see you V, I do hope you know that you will pay back the club for destroying property," he answered, crossing his arms over his chest.

				<br>"How about I answer the gig question when I come back?" Butch's wink was the last thing Riley saw of him before he crossed the threshold. In the car, Butch was more than silent. In fact, he was totally lost in thought. He had a ton of questions, but Rhage was probably not the best to answer them. Hell, nobody was really the best to answer them. Neither of the brothers really knew what it was like to have eyes for only one except for Tohr and Wrath maybe. And hell if he was going to ask Z. Shit, he went through those phases anyway. Wrath had taken Beth from under his nose back then, but Beth hadn't really been into him, it had always been one sided. He refused to think about Marisa. And now he was starting to feel this -tug- towards Riley. Was there something wrong with him? Maybe he should go see a shrink. Hello, doc. I think I am a vampirophile. Way to go straight into the loony bin. Really.<br><br>"Weird night for so many lessers to be out, isn't it?" There, some small talk at least.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>It didn't look like Xhex's words affected Vishous that much. In fact, they just made his smile wider. "No" he murmured under his breath while walking away. "You just want it too much. Someone needs to get laid more than I do." <br><br>He walked into Rehv's office as if it was his own home,&nbsp; taking a seat in front of the older male. "As always" he replied to the Reverend with formal courtesy. "But you should thank us, and your little barmaid too, for getting rid of the scum on your back porch. If the cop hadn't scented them, they would have made out with some of yours, true?" He wasn't going to play hardball with Rehvenge anyway. Whatever Xhex had going with the female --and there obviously was something there--shouldn't translate to the male. Maybe Xhex did play for the other team after all. As if he could talk about that, really. Rehv didn't make him as nervous as he did the others, perhaps because he didn't care enough, but mostly because he knew that he wasn't as terrible as people made him to be. Much like himself. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex grunted behind V.'s back, but didn't follow up. Rehvenge would take good care of him anyway, and he could think whatever he wanted about her, she knew the truth. She walked into the employees' lounge at a good stride, stopping in front of the shower to wait for Riley to be done. "Everything Okay?" the question reached through the sound of splashing water and vapor, but she wanted to have her say before the warriors came back. Riley had to know enough not to get involved with them.

				Hollywood wondered if she should say something considering Butch looked to be head over heels in fucking love with this female. He wondered just what he should do knowing Butch could easily fall for woman and it seemed to be a pattern with him going for female vampires. Well, female vamps were the better choice in his opinion but he was not going to knock down the humans ones for the ladies loved cool Rhage, alright, maybe he was a bit full of himself on that. Nonetheless, he wished the best for Butch but then again he wondered if Butch knew there was something going on between V and Riley as well. He had seen the look V had given to Riley and the one she gave right back. Rhage knew the policy of how many hellrens a shellan could have which was only one considering the aggressiveness a hellren could take if there were other males sniffing around his own female. Maybe V was just interested because he wanted to make sure she would not break Butch's heart. Hopefully that was the reason and not because V actually like the female. Hah, if that ever happened Rhage might actually go celibate like Phury.<br><br>"They have some sort of mission the last couple of days and they even had the balls to go for a female right in front of us, fuckers," he commented as he pulled into the drive through of the nearest burger joint. He doubted Butch wanted to waste anytime standing in line and the fact there was blood on them did not do them any justice. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rehv wondered just how much Vishous thought he could get away with things. Pondered over whether or not he should be privvy to the fact that there was a lot more to Riley which meets the eye. Contemplate on informing Vishous that Riley came with a lot more baggage than he could ever want or need in his life. Nonetheless, if he had to, he would let Vishous know the fact of matter Riley was not going to enjoy being sehcluded from the world because V and Butch could not leave their hands to themselves. What a fool these two were over Riley but he could not blame them considering she was unique in her own way and yet he should have taken a much more direct approach in her life. Such as it was Rehv knew of her existence only two years ago but no matter, she was doing well for herself but with V and Butch intervening in her life, it might as well go down the fucking tubes.<br><br>"Let me make myself clear, whatever happens with my employees reflect onto me. If an employee is caught stealing it shows that I cannot control my employees from becoming criminals. Now, with Riley, if she is caught in the crossfire, not only will her parents seek justice but I will have to get up from where I am and announce to the glymera that because she was caught in a BDB fight, to seek retribution. Either that happens or you manage to think she is in love and throw her life away for something which is not real. She is a female of worth and I will not have you or Butch smearing it for one night of pleasure. Take your dicks and look somewhere other than her, V or I will put her under sechulsion on behalf of her parents," he explained as if he were just having a chat with V about the weather or even about what type of smoke he admired to have over any other.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Yes, just I found a piece of skin in my hair," Riley annonced over the shower fall of water. Riley tried her best to get rid as much of the blood off of her. She even managed to find a bit of flesh tangled up in her hair where she had to remove the highlights and throw them in the garbage. She was left with her regular brunette hair but she was fine with the way she looked. Riley was not classically beautiful, a bit rough around the edges but her eyes seemed to catch people off guard. While most would expect for her to have brown eyes or maybe even black, she had star struck hazel eyes. Her mother's was fair in head and blue eyed while her father was brunette with dark eyes but most had assumed it was the combination of genes which prompted her to be unique. Her body was a bit more curvier and shorter than she would have enjoyed but then again, she could easily burn off the fat but her curves would still be there thus making her wonder if she was one of those Bottocelli women.&nbsp;

				<br><br>"Great. As if they weren't enough of a problem already. I wonder how they are targeting them." He put his order and Riley's in, and then waited for Rhage to finish ordering everything in the menu twice. He supposed that beast of his had to burn a hella lot of calories.&nbsp; Butch watched the vampire for a while as they waited; waiting. Waiting. Yep, he definitely was bursting at the seams to say something but wasn't going to. His police instincts were good, it wasn't as if he read minds really, even if he had been accused of it a time or three. He was just good at reading people, and Rhage read a lot more thoughtful than usual. <br><br>"Let it out, Hollywood. What aren't you telling me?"<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous continued to smoke as he watched the Reverend. The big man was a true pain in the ass when he wanted to be, and this was not an exception. Something was weird here, but Rehvenge's thoughts were carefully schooled so he wasn't getting anything over the air, and it wasn't as if he was going to go in fishing for more. "Right." He watched the man for a little longer without saying anything, just letting the silence say it for him. When he spoke then, he was tilting his head to the side. "Look; I don't know what kind of thing you have going with her, and I don't fucking care. I can tell both you and the Female are worried for her, which, really, is starting to get offensive, you feel me?" He paused, smiling even. It wasn't a warm smile. "I don't&nbsp; really know why you think it's any of your biz where I put my dick. Hell, I didn't even blink when I heard you and Phury were getting cozy all over here." He looked around Rehvenge's office, just making a point.<br><br>"I think what I am sayin' is, I have a job that is to protect you, and any civilians that I can protect, including your sister. Wait, didn't you threaten with sehclusion for her too? I think it didn't go that well, did it?" He took another drag and breathed in deeply. "Look, my man. I like it here. I want to keep coming. Now, if she wants Butch, I am going to stand behind them, and fuck you if you think locking her in her room is going to keep her from him. Now, I thought we were going to talk damages here, not fucks."&nbsp; Juust chillin'.<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex sat on the arm of the couch to wait, finding a pair of leathers next to her. Damn if they didn't smell like them. They were trouble, that's what the brotherhood were. Loads of it. She sort of liked Butch, though, for a human, but he wasn't one of them, really, even if he thought he was. A good fuck, too, but not something Riley deserved. She was a good girl. Xhex finally got tired of waiting and picked up a towel to bring up to the shower, waiting for the water to stop before she spoke again. "Those two are bad news, Riley. You realize I am saying this as a friend, right?" She tried to tone it down a little, didn't want to have her clam up even if all she wanted to do was to scream to leave them alone. Fuck, Butch hadn't even -looked- at her all night.<br>

				Hollywood knew not whether to spare Butch the thoughts in his head or to let it all out like some bad plate of tuna. By the way, never eat bad tuna that has been left out with mayo and he had to learn the wrong way to check the expiration date on it too. "Look, I think V might be into her too especially the way he looks at her as if he wants to take her away to some place and make her scream, whether in pleasure or fucking pain, I don't know. V has been not himself since the visions and I am just saying that if you like Riley, take her before something happens," he warned not knowing if he was helping or not but he had to get it out to Butch before it spilled out of him. Hell, Rhage could be a gossip King when he wanted to be, made people sometimes wonder if he was gay beneath all the fucking, laughing, flirting and being pretty. Nah, he just liked to be a gossip monger and fucker. There. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rehverend merely watched V without a care in the world. He could not show his cards right away at the table but instead wait out to see what V's plans were in regards to Riley. Already he had seen the video footage to which he had wanted to cause a lot of mayhem and destroy his office but since he was in no mood to have it replaced and fixed, he just took another injection and relaxed. There was no need to let his true hold on this matter get out nor the fact of his half breed status out to another person. Riley need not know he could feed off of other people's emotions nor manipulate them to either heighten or downplay the hormones of one's body. He had used it a few times on Riley to relax her whenever she was stressed out on bills, family and overall taking care of herself. If she ever knew, it would be one more person who could let it slip about his condition. Already the Brothers were privvy to it but not his sister nor his mother, wanting them to keep their dignity if the glymera ever found out and stripped the family of titles and wealth.<br><br>"Riley and I have an understanding, she does not cause problems and I give her a job which most humans and vampires would want to secure. Just like any other Boss who wants to make sure the company looks good, I do not want problems. You come in here to drink and fuck, well, not you but the others," he started and only lifted an eyebrow when he mentioned what Phury and him were up to. Phury wanted what he wanted but he paid for it by doing what Rehv wanted and did not seem to complain much about it. It was between Phury and him, no one else. "How about you say that to me again and see how I can easily cut him off of his Smokes, he will be gunning for you harder than you were fucking Butch. By the by, I can show him what exactly you were doing with Riley in the lounge while he was fighting for his life, I bet he will hug you know you were man handling her and getting awfully fucking close," he said without remorse. In this world, there was no fucking way he would let V think he was running the show on his property. He may protect civilians but Rehv could easily take care of himself. He had to ever since he was brought into this fucking world and ever since he took his father out of it. With Riley, he would protect her just like he had with Bella but only this time he had a higher stake in her life than V would ever even dream about. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>A small frown appeared on Riley's face as she finished her shower and accepted the towel from Xhex. What was it about Xhex and Rehv that had them going on telling her to stay away from them? There had to be a perfect and logical explanation because right now, it felt more like her just interfering in business with the club. She knew there were shady dealings going on in ZeroSum and even managed to see various people walking in and out of Rehv office in different states of dress or mental capacities. She even saw a local Senator go in fully clothed and out with his jacket off and zipper undone as if he had been either beaten to hell or fucked either way. There was never the question in her mind Rehv was up to other things but he was her Boss and the Boss was someone she did not want to piss off. "Are they bad because they are a bit more out there than other people?," she asked Xhex as dried herself off and started to step into the jeans sans underwear for her underwear was stained with blood that had managed to get beneath her skirt. Luckily, her shift was almost up in two more hours and then she was off to sleep and after that go off to her second job. How beautiful was life when one had to pay off student loans? Thought so.

				Butch knew Rhage was going to talk. In the end, he always did. The blond warrior loved running his mouth, that's for sure. What he didn't expect to hear, though, was that V. had his eyes on Riley too. It sort of figured, though, the two shared more tastes than two cups of Java bean. It was hard to accept, or even think about, truly, so the ex-cop fell back on his seat in silence. It was a hard blow, that, particularly when the woman... no, the Female, seemed to like him all right. But she was a vampire, and he wasn't one. It was obvious she'd pick V. over him any time. Every time. Hell, he would pick V. over himself if he were her too. He knew well how this lack of visions was affecting the other man. Besides, he hadn't told them everything. Hadn't told them how that fucker had frozen in place when he'd looked at him. Hadn't told them that he'd had the weirdest experience when it was holding him down, when he was choking him. Like he wanted to breathe bad, but he wanted to breath the lesser in, get it inside himself, drink it all. Dammit, how fucked up was that, really? More importantly, it was not something that a woman should have to put up with.<br><br>Looking ahead, the parking lot was almost empty, and he was again having the urge to get up. They were around again, somewhere. He put his feet down, he wasn't going to do it. Nope. "Well, if V. wants her and she wants him, then that's between them. It looked like she was smiling to me, though. It doesn't matter, anyway, it isn't as if either of us are going to see her outside of ZeroSum, she looks like a busy girl." There. That's all he had to say in that respect, anyway.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>V. was getting the weirdest vibes from Rehvenge. What the hell?. He wanted to point out that the only one that came here to fuck lately was Rhage, and his girls were always well treated and satisfied, but why bother with minutia? Phury was celibate, Z, Wrath and Tohrment were happily mated, and he had his own women. If he was talking about the cop, that had been once, and only because Rehvenge had had his hand on it by sending Xhex. Should he go over all that? Seemed to him that Rehv was totally blowing it out of proportion, and he had to wonder why. When he threatened with cutting Phury's smokes he lifted his hands, smirking. "Like I said, Reverend. I'm not getting into your business, you should very well stay out of mine."<br><br>"As for what I was doing with... Riley, that's her name? You probably don't have audio, because you'd know better otherwise. Do you want to watch it with me? I told her she should stay away from Butch unless she was serious." Well, mostly. "And it was her who went for me, looks like your females don't know how to take a warning well. You can probably see how I caught her and pushed her right back, too. But you can show that to Butch if you want. Say.. do you have a footage of the shower too?" An eyebrow lifted in consideration. "That might prove interesting." There went his glove, and he pushed the stub of his cigarette into his hand to burn it into thin dust before putting the glove back on. "Look, if you have a personal interest in her, you can just let us know, but if she doesn't care for you, it doesn't mean that you must prevent her from seeing everyone else. She's a free Female until you mate her, you know?" Oh, but just the idea of Riley mating with Rehvenge kicked him in the gut and left a hell of an awful taste in his mouth.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"A bit more out there?" Xhex echoed Riley's words with near-disbelief. It's all right that Riley was something of an innocent --Rehv had seen to that-- but that was a little too much. "How many Lessers did they go through today, you tell me. I can tell you that most males won't be able to survive a single one of them, and how that human does it.. well, he's got Vishous on his case or he wouldn't. If I didn't know better, I'd say those two are bonded the way they go around defending each other." So maybe she could exagerate a little. "They could die any second, and whoever is after them would come back straight for you. And being with them isn't easy either." Well, Butch knew how to push a Female's buttons, and she was looking forward to round two, which didn't seem to be happening, but she wasn't going to go there at all.<br><br>"Riley, they are cold blooded killers, and Vishous doesn't treat his women any better than his enemies, I have been told. He isn't the Bloodletter's son for nothing, and it would only be trouble for you and the club. You don't want to be in the middle of that, and we don't want you to be in the middle of that. We /won't/ have you in the middle of that."

				"She does like you but V might try to get at her just to get into an innocent female. Butch, I think she might even be one of those females who has not even bitten anyone or had anyone bite her back. Riley does not have any bite marks nor does she look like she got around the fucking block and I know the fucking block like the back of my gorgeous hand," he joked as he glanced down at his hands which had only an hour ago been holding onto a hooker as he took her against the bathroom stall. Fuck, he was going to have to see those ladies again for a second and third round. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>"I saw the footage, she went to push you off, seems not even the good ones want you, V," he went for the kicker. He wanted to kick V down and show that he was not good enough for Riley. Fuck, no one was going to be good enough for his...for Riley no matter what anyone said especially the Scribe Virgin. The Scribe Virgin had fucked up with Bella and Z but he had to keep his mouth shut about that but this time whoever thought about bonding with Riley had to go through a fucking slew of channels before thinking of sticking their dick in Riley. Right now, V was trying to put the blame on her but he had seen V grabbing onto Riley's wrist and pulling it back behind her. It had taken a lot more of his doses to keep the numbness from fading out of his vision. <br><br>When V started in on the shower, his control just about snapped. If he only fucking knew who he was talking to, V would learn to watch his fucking mouth. "Why? So you can fuck off to it knowing no female like her will ever look at a monster like you?," he bit back, giving him a sweet as fucking death pie smile at his ugly mug. There, he could enjoy that and take it back with him when he returned to the compound. As well as the fact no woman of worth would look at him with love and he needed to watch himself with Riley for he was liable to get his ass permanently removed from ZeroSum if he kept pushing it. Riley was off his fucking radar.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>This was ridiculous. Why was Xhex trying to get her to stay away from just Butch and Vishous? There had to be a hidden agenda with her especially since she kept twitching everytime she mentioned Butch. "Look, I do not know what these guys are into but I am guessing you will tell me but I am not trying to become part of their clique, Xhex. You should know me by now," she started before she had to stop to pull her shirt over her head. The henley slid on but it felt weird not being able to wear anything beneath it. Scribe Virgin, she wished she had double sided tape at this moment as she looked down at her breasts. At least she was not a human female and had to worry about stretch marks but like a human, she had to worry about sagging breasts.<br><br>As she checked herself out in the lounge mirror, she frowned to hear Xhex's latest statements. "Killers? I think I noticed that by the way they took out those lessers and I believe you on the V thing. Do you know what he did to me in the lounge and I fought off his advances but Scribe Virgin, I did not know he was the Bloodletter's Son," she whispered, shaking her head. She heard about the Bloodletter and the maniacal way he went about training his troops and young students at the camps. Even heard about the atrocities in the vampire history books when she took a course on it for extra credit. What the hell had she gotten herself into by helping them out?

				<br>Butch gave Rhage a long sideways glance, but didn't bother to clear his misunderstanding. It was weird that these men had known each other and fought together for so long and still thought the weirdest things about each other. Butch, for example, had a pretty good idea that if V. was interested in a female, it was never because of any innocence they might show. No innocent female will ask to be tied to a table and... well, he didn't really know what V. did with them and didn't want to, but he knew they wanted it, and that wasn't a choice made in innocence.&nbsp; "I don't understand," he said a little later, even as he held on to the bags and boxes and waited for the blond vampire to hit the gas. "I thought you couldn't survive without drinking?"<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>Oh, but this time Rehvenge might as well have kicked V. in the nuts and not had as good a result as he did with that taunt. Vishous didn't answer, only looked at Rehvenge askance as he heard that the good ones didn't want him. Well, that was a newsflash for you, Sherlock. Really? He didn't want the good ones either, they were utterly boring. Why was he feeling so weird then when he thought about Riley not wanting him. Oh, she did want him, he had smelled the arousal, but that was a normal reaction to the kind of sex he offered. It wasn't as if she would really care about anything else with him, or him with her. Nope, he wasn't thinking of her lips. Fuck it, he had his women masked for&nbsp; a reason, kissing was out of the question after all. <br><br>It was the monster part that hurt. It hurt like hell because he knew he was right. He'd never be able to touch Riley with his hand. Or Butch if he had wanted him.&nbsp; Not to mention the mess under his pants. That's when he stood up.&nbsp; "Just wondering if that's why it's there, so that you can jerk off to the sight. Do you think she'll be yours, Reverend? I don't know about that, speaking from monster to monster, I mean."&nbsp; Oh blessed Virgin in the Fade. The very idea of Rehv watching Riley in the shower suddenly got to him like a mule's kick. The very idea of him touching her had him revved up like he cared. Fuck, he didn't care about Females. Nope. He didn't. "I think we are done here." He already had his hand on the door.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>Damn she was built. Xhex looked down at her own pair and smirked, pressing her lips together for a moment. "He is." There, at least she had something to cling to that would make&nbsp; Riley think twice before messing with the Brother. "They are warriors, they were bred for violence and pain. I heard V. grew up in one of his camps, and sometimes he still thinks he lives in one. You'd believe it if you heard what he does to the females he uses." Oh yes, this was working all right. A little more and Xhex wouldn't let V. get ten miles across from her. <br><br>"You'll stay away from them, won't you?"

				"There are ways to get around drinking, if you notice the gauntness of her face, I mean really look at it, you can see she has not been drinking from a male vampire but from humans, walking blood bags," he answered knowing human blood was not sustainable for too long which meant Riley was just close to hitting the point of her body resisting from the blood. Not to say she could not drink from a human but her body would need more and more thus having to drain a human to accomplish it and he was not about to allow a vampire to murder vampires to sustain life that is what the opposite vampires were for to keep females alive and well. He wondered how Butch would take it if she had to drink from someone else just like the same incident with Marissa. Damn, he hoped he would not go down again like Marissa because he doubted Butch would not be able to handle the rejection a third time. He was going to have a talk with Riley in private to warn her against hurting Butch. No one fucked with his friend's emotions.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Yes, Rehv managed to get V off of his game if he was trying to grab at the nearest straws to throw a popshot his way. It would not work, Riley was not like that to him nor would any woman would be considering the shit he had to go through to keep himself numb and emotionless. However when it came to Riley his emotions went haywire until he had to take a few moments to clamp down hard and think as straight as he could for the good of Riley. "I do not care whether she is mine or not, what I care is making sure you understand the part to stay away from her whether or not you think she wants you," he explained as he pressed a button to release V from his sights and have his guards reenter into the room. The only business V had to have was with the club and not the employees. If Riley wanted Butch, Rehv would make sure V was out of sight but it did not mean he was going to allow anything to happen to Riley no matter what. No one was good enough for Riley and no one was going to try and take her from him...her goals. Yes, her goals. She could not focus on her goals if she was bombarded with testosterone pissing fucking warriors around.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>That was some history to bear knowing V was the Bloodletter's son. She scratched the back of her neck all the while combing her fingers through the knots. When Xhex hit onto the group being warriors, her mind went back to her mother's stories of a secret group called the Black Dagger Brotherhood. Was V, Butch and the Adonis Black Dagger Brothers and warriors? No, Butch was human and yet he was privvy to the vampire community where most humans would have their memories erased in ZeroSum but Butch seemed aware of anything and everything about vampires including the fact they were the the enemies of lessers. "I believe you in the fact of what he could do to female but I doubt he is one for cuddles and kisses but I doubt he would do that to every female because he respected my choices even though he kept saying I wanted him," she answered, shaking her head that he would know what she truly wanted when at the time she merely wanted him to go away. Still it was hard to believe Xhex was adamant about her staying away from them without there being a core reason. All of these seemed to try and cover up something more as if these men were going to try and go out of their way to bond with her and want her in more than just a one night stand manner.<br><br>"I will stay away from them...after I eat my dinner with Butch, I am was raised to have some manners if they might have left the building a few years back. I make a plan to eat with someone, I stick to it unless something like an emergency comes up. Xhex, do not worry too much about me or you might make yourself sick," she teased a smile on her face because vampires were unable to get sick but vampires were able to get a broken heart just like any other human out in the world.

				<br>Xhex didn't like the idea of Riley eating with Butch. She knew the type enough to realize that Food was a show of interest that said more than a casual fuck, but it was something that she couldn't really explain to the young woman. "I'm not worried" she lied after a moment. "I just want you to know what you are dealing with before you make the wrong decision. Particularly when it comes to those two and how close they are." It would be crazy. It was obvious that Vishous had a thing for the cop, so he was liable to take it out on those that the cop showed interest in. Tonight proved that to her. Would he act up the bonded male and destroy the competition? Odds weren't good for anyone caught in between. "Fire may be beautiful to play with, but it burns like daylight if you walk into the flames. I would really pity any female that tries to get in between Butch and V." <br><br>She reached to tuck the label in Riley's shirt under its collar, and then stood up to go back to the door. "Just watch your ass. Literally. They could have this place leveled worse than 9/11 and you'd never know what hit you." With that one warning she went to the door, which just happened to open for her. Seeing who was coming in she looked back over her shoulder, just a silent reminder of all she had said before leaving.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous closed his hand on the door handle and shook his head, turning to give one last look at the Reverend while crossing the door. Fuck him if he was thinking of telling him what to do. He was of a mind to seduce Riley just to get under Rehvenge's skin, but that was just not the kind of thought that V. normally had in situations like this. Besides, Butch wanted her, and he wasn't going to get in the middle. Riley was the kind of woman that needed a man like Butch to hold her and cuddle her and all those things V. would never make himself do for a Female. Ever. He wondered what it was like, to actually care about the one you were with. He shut those thoughts as he made it back to the employee lounge, looking for the promised shower. Why he chose that instead to just dematerializing to the compound we may never know, but it is easy to assume that he just might want to have another look at Riley after all.<br><br>He didn't really want to see Xhex when he opened the door, but some things in life you don't get to choose. He caught the look and lifted his tattooed eyebrow, looking from one to the other as Xhex walked out. His eyes then went to the leathers on the couch, and that's where he headed for, doing his best to ignore the female. "The shower's that way?" So what, he failed. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Gee, thank you Hollywood." Butch's remark was made with just enough sting at being called a walking blood bag. "You two-legged mosquitoes always make me laugh." He winked to the blond man, not holding a grudge after he returned the blow at least. Rhage was a good person in the bottom, once you got past his superficial handling of women and backhanded comments he never meant in the first place. Someday someone was going to get real pissed at him, and the blond warrior would never know where it came from. He couldn't quite help a grin. <br><br>Once back into ZeroSum, Butch went in the back way again, no need to go through the whole club when he knew exactly where he wanted to be. It wasn't easy to carry all the bags and drinks, but he'd found a good balance. What he didn't expect was to near-clash against Xhex on his way around the corner. Fuck. He -really- didn't want that confrontation, not when he hadn't had a good fuck in forever.

				For her, Riley merely wanted to eat and Butch was kind enough to supply her with it after she helped him out. Even now, she could not believe she had fought against a lesser but she could believe that she almost died with the lesser trying its best to choke the life out of her. She looked at the bruises on her neck knowing they would not heal faster than the other vampires. Shit, she was going to have to go call one of her buddies to see if he might be up to donating a bit of blood. He never asked her where the blood had to go only that she needed it for some reason or another but as long as she gave him twenty bucks to feed his artist's habit of paints and acrylics, he never said a thing. <br><br>Her body tensed when V came into the room the warnings of Xhex rushing through her mind. She could not believe she was in the same room with the Bloodletter's son, though there was no photographs to let her know he could truly be the man who was known to torture those in the camps to verify. Nonetheless, rarely would someone throw that fact around considering the community frowned on the Bloodletter being mentioned other than a paragraph on him in the textbooks. She shrugged into her jacket, zipping up the hoodie not wanting to get her clothes dirty if she had to finish out her shift but before that she knew Rehv would want to talk to her about what went down. Riley really hoped he did not fire her over wanting to help out with Butch in the alleyway. <br><br>"Yes, the shower is through there along with the bathroom. You might have to jiggle the showerhead in case it sputters out water instead of the regular stream," she explained as she gave a quick glance over her shoulder. She noticed him watching the leathers on the couch and wondered if the leathers were for him. Of course they were, she chided herself since she could smell the black blood coming off of him. She should be shell-shocked or even horrified that she murdered someone but she knew it would have been her or the lesser's life and the lesser had already given himself over to the Omega a long time ago. Riley had no clue why she was doing this but she had to know. She had to know whether or not V was the Bloodletter's son and not just some lie Xhex threw up to make her not want to at least be civil to him. Sure, he was an arrogant bastard who thought he knew everything when it came to females wanting him and even to her wanting him but was he actually the son of a man who was known in the history books as a sadistic bastard? Was V just like father dearest?<br><br>Licking her lips, she wondered how to go about this since he was about to take a shower. Should she ask him now or later? Better to ask him now and be saved by the others since one door was at the moment broken but had the mhist around it as if it were closed up. Xhex would have someone in on the problem in the next thirty minutes for she never left things like this up to anybody else. "V, are you the Bloodletter's son?," she questioned, turning to look at him as he leaned against the closed lockers somehow not know she opened up a fucking can of worms.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Be happy you do not believe in us being able to turn humans into vampires bit," he answered, laughing all the while. That had been something the vampire community had thought could happen until a few were made and then died soon after. The Scribe Virgin must have put some boundaries but it seemed her boundaries were starting to work against her. The vampire community was still a large number but not many as before considering the fact more and more females were being lost to pregnancy. However guess what Scribe Virgin's solution to repopulating the community? Have the Brothers knock up the group of Chosen to keep the bloodline alive. No one wanted to take on the task, hell not even he wanted to try that shit. <br><br>Ouch, not a good thing, Rhage thought as Butch collided with Xhex. Rhage did the best thing he could do and it was to leave those two talking while he went off to see how Riley was doing. If Xhex was done with whatever females do in the shower, hah, a dirty image occured and V was not talking to the Rehv by the fact Rehv was watching him from across the hallway, then the conclusion was V was left along with Riley. Not a good thing. Fuck, he only hoped those two were not going to fight one another or worse be in each other's arms when Butch came through the door.

				<br><br>He started to go for the leathers as Riley answered his question. "Jiggle it?" The question echoed in the room as he looked back to her, looking half amused at the reference. Jiggling it was suddenly a whole new world. Eyes fixated on the young woman at the thought, and he found himself nearly lost in the sight, even if she was covering herself with her hoodie. "I just might have to." His eyes took in every small gesture of hers. He was trying to prevent the blood in him from getting to the clothes, so he finally gave up and left them where they were to wipe his hands on his shirt. That wasn't working too well either, but he didn't want to undress right there so he walked towards the door instead. Was that her tongue he saw? And what was that smell? Oh no. Shit. This was totally not happening.<br><br>Fortunately, the next question erased that track of thoughts --and scents-- faster than anything else could have. He looked back to the door where Xhex had gone and back to Riley, eyes sudenly darker than they had been before. "Right. Some people have a bigger mouth than they have brains." His lips were tight together, thin lines instead of their regular sensual curve. "What do you -really- want to know, Riley? If I am just like him? Do I keep my females and males in a perpetual state of fear?" He moved closer, hunger suddenly starting to grow all over again. "It's none of your business, is it?"<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Butch just shook his head at Rhage's words. "I would already be one if I had the choice" he said in earnest. Nothing too terrible about being a human, really, but still, there were advantages. He had to stop when Rhage went past, sidestepping Xhex with ease.&nbsp; Butch, instead, stopped right there with a large female vampire in his way. "Are you going to stay right there and wall me out, or will you open the door for me like a gentleman?"<br>

				"Yes, if you do not jiggle the showerhead you will usually end up having a drip-drop effect with the shower and you will be in there for the rest of your life," she commented, shaking her head for she had experienced playing with the showerhead to wash out her hair the third week of being on the job. At first, she was uncomfortable to try out the shower because she wondered why in the hell Rehv would want to put a shower in the lounge unless there were some shady dealings. She could admit she had spent a good time searching the bathroom and shower to make sure there were no cameras recording her undressing or using the bathroom. One never knew if people were into that sort of stuff and Rehv was merely supplying the goods. <br><br>Her nose picked up on something which only could be construed on as a bonding scent. Why would there be a bonding scent in the room? She looked around the place and found herself seeing just V in the place. No, her nose was clearly messing up. There was no way and yet his demeanor changed quickly after she had asked him earlier if he was the Bloodletter's Son. Fuck, she should have known better but she had wanted to find the truth and see maybe if there was a difference between the two. When he got closer, she thought pressing herself against the lockers would make her disappear, big mistake. Hell, how nervous she was it was going to be difficult to concentrate and dematerialize away from him. "No, you are right, I am sorry," she answered quickly as she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.<br><br>++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex merely looked to Butch and wondered why he was going for Riley. Well, she knew right away what it was and it was her innocence. What else could he want from her? Sex was another but he could easily fuck her. Again, another mistake given that she was not going to give him some sort of relationship and she heard he wanted a basic one with hugs, cuddles and a side of fucking. She was not one for any of that and while she could take him to the bathroom to fuck his brains out, whatever was going on with Riley would be on her doorstep if she found out. "You better be good to her or I will fucking rip your throat out," she merely said before she pushed him aside and moved down the hallway.

				She really hadn't caught on the double entendre, and Vishous wasn't about to explain it to her at this point, even if it was incredibly surprising to him --and perhaps just a little bit arousing, but then, everything around Riley had started to draw that effect on him since the fight. He really needed that shower. He saw her nostrils widen as she caught the scent, and forced himself to return her look without any show of recognition. His hair fell across his features when he looked down at her, hiding most of the tattoos in his forehead and cheek and shadowing his expression as he stared her down. Shit, she was pressing herself against the lockers, probably scared shitless of him. Well, that wasn't new. Fuck her too. Fuck them all. "Yes, I am sure you are." With that he turned towards the shower, going as far as he could before starting to undress.<br><br>The jacket fell to the floor, but the rig with the daggers was set carefully where it would stay dry and clean. So was his glock, his second glock, and the rest of the weapons he set up out one at a time on the lavatory table. He started the shower then and kicked his shoes away, then his shirt and, last, he pulled down his pants. He made more than sure to be facing well away from the door after that. He really didn't want her to see the rest of him, she was scared enough already. He also left his glove on. Once under the water he saw what she mean by the jiggling, and made sure that the stream was steady. Then he made sure to screw the fitting tight enough with his bare hand that she wouldn't have this problem again.&nbsp; It was the least he could do for her. That and make sure she was safe. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Whatever Butch expected from Xhex, this wasn't it. His whole facial expression said 'what the fuck' while he watched her move around him. "I'll try to remember that" he said to her back. Shit, it wasn't as hf he hadn't been good to her, too. Never asked for anything she wasn't ready to give, gave her exactly what she wanted, and gave it hard, so he couldn't quite fathom what was the big deal with him getting Riley some food. He would really never understand women. With a final shrug he pushed the door with his shoulder, straight into the room and smiling to the sound of the shower. Well, was she still there? He didn't look to the lockers right away and brought the bags to the table by the couch instead, taking a minute to set them down. <br><br>He'd wait until she was ready. It felt like a date, somehow, even if there wasn't that kind of intention to it. Well, not completely.

				Riley looked up at him even though she desperately wanted to know if he was the Son of the Bloodletter. Damn her and having him scare her into changing her mind. Even when he was looking as her as if could possibly be the last person he wanted to know, she wondered if his tattoos had hurt to be imprinted. Things of that nature had to be hard to put on considering the rate of healing but nonetheless, she kept her mouth shut. He could smash her brains in and she had to remember Xhex's warning. Wait, why was she listening to Xhex in the first place? She was her own person, damn it. Xhex was not her mother for Scribe's sake. This whole night was too much to even process, she had fallen back into what she hated and it was letting others try and keep her from trying things. Xhex was doing so by telling her Butch was bad but he was not. Butch had not tried anything wrong against her. However V was proving right as she apologized once more and watched him walk away.<br><br>After she the took the time to take a deep breath and get her heart under control, she was ready to settle herself down on the couch. The way the lounge was built, the lockers were placed around the corner of the lounge while the shower was placed in the far corner of the lounge and the couch in the middle. For some reason it worked that way and no one complained that anyone could walk up while someone was facing a wall full of photographs and attack them. Well, not attack but someone could sneak up behind the couch while someone was sleeping and scare them awake. That is how it happened with V which now she was going to ask Rehv if she could push it around the other way to face the door. <br><br>"Butch, thanks for the food," she answered as she stopped to see him at the couch. Did he notice the two of them at the lockers? No, the lockers were a bit far back from the couch. She looked down at the spread and smiled to Butch, wondering if he was going to eat the rest of the food. While she was hungry, it looked almost as if it was made for six other people to eat along with Butch and her. Settling herself on the couch, she wondered if she should say something else or maybe even talk to him about things. Instead, she went for the obvious and grabbed the cheeseburger she ordered and smiled at him, "Lets eat before someone else comes in here and snatches it up," she answered.

				It was definitely a lot of food. For some reason, however, Butch couldn't come to tell himself that it was enough --he would have carried more in if he had had more hands.&nbsp; He didn't see Riley until the last second, and then he smiled. "Well, there you are, my savior." He said it in a way that could be taken as a joke, but he truly meant that. He couldn't forget that she had saved his life and he owed it all to her. Shit, suddenly he felt like a leprechaun -he wasn't raised half irish for nothing, and if there were vampires, hell there might as well be witches and everything else, right? "Hey, you know, speaking of that.."&nbsp; He smiled wide. "In Ireland they say that if you save a Leprechaun once, he owes you his life forever and you are entitled to his pot of gold or three wishes." <br><br>He nodded to her thanks. "You are welcome, I don't think I could handle it to watch you be hungry." He didn't mention the gauntness that Rhage spoke of, really, it was something that he couldn't see in her at this point. Ah, shit. The lesser had bruised her, hadn't he? He suddenly wanted to reach and soothe her neck, kiss, bite it to take their mark away from her and leave his own. Whoa, where did that come from? He reached for his drink, leaving the food alone for the time being. He wanted to watch her eat first. To make sure there was enough. The mere idea of someone taking food from her set Buch in a testosterone rage. "Nobody is taking your food from you while I am here." Period. He meant that. Ookay, back off, Sledge. "So. Speaking of leprechauns. What would your three wishes be?"<br>

				Riley chuckled to hear him call her his savior. She was just doing what most vampires should be doing and it was to help the others whether or not they were part of the community. The way the community was at the moment it felt more like everyone was for themselves. It was a rare thing to see a vampire want to help other vampires without holding out their hands to be paid in full. For Butch, he owed her nothing but she appreciated him buying this much food for the two of them to consume. Even now, she was starting to suck on the straw which led to her vanilla milkshake wondering whether the food place must have put chunks of ice in the cup because the milkshake was not budging for anything in the world. <br><br>"Oh, are you Irish?," she asked as she shook the milkshake around in the cup to try and get something out of the damn drink. Riley had wondered in the beginning why he talked about Leprechaun's but it made sense in her mind. Butch had the Irish appeal about him with the drinking, physique and most of all his face had the perpetual Irish smirk even when he was not even smirking laid plain on his lips. She wondered how many other females had fallen for his smirk and a part of her was angry to imagine someone else was interested in Butch. Oh she was not mad at herself or mad at the woman but that if another woman was interested in Butch and Butch was interested back, she would be mad that someone else was taking her chance away to be with Butch. <br><br>Wait.<br><br>Back up. She was jealous of some other female taking Butch away from her? Dear Scribe Virgin she must be going crazy. She barely met Butch today though she bonded with him over the lesser thing but why would she be even thinking that? This only added to her worries with not only loans but work and now the possibility she somehow was sort of liking Butch. Well, not a bad thing to think about but there had to be something with Butch when it came to women. A guy like him was not going to wait it out for some female nor was he obligated to be faithful especially since he was a human while she was a vampire female. "The way you will feed me, I won't be for a good two days," she teased all the while beneath her demeanor she watched Butch a bit more closely. When he commented on no one taking her food, she was delighted to hear that and wondered if there was some sort of connection as well on his part other than just wanting a whore for the night. "Three wishes? Hmm, my first wish is to pay off my debts though I doubt the leprechaun has enough money to pay it off," she jokingly answered, shaking her head.

				"My family is, yes. I was born here. Here as in America, not Caldwell." Butch answered that question&nbsp; practically without thinking, and somewhat distracted because his attention was on the way her cheeks caved in when she tried to get the milkshake out. He'd had never considered a milkshake a turn on, but he would have to revise that particular choice. In fact, consider it revised already. The way her lips curled and pressed against the straw... did she look like that when she drank blood? Butch accomodated himself on his seat, just enough to make some room where it was needed.&nbsp; When she shook the cup... well, that just made his efforts worth nothing.<br><br>She had a look in her face like she was thinking something, and Butch was wishing that he could be like V. and hear what was in her mind. It looked like it would be something interesting, at least. He watched her expression instead, trying to read it. The ex-cop was good at reading people, but there is a limit to everything. He gave up when she mentioned not eating for the next two days, and the next thought came without hesitation: I would feed you whenever you want. And he wasn't just thinking about food either. Did it show in his face? Butch tried his best to prevent that from happening. <br><br>At least she liked what he said about her food, and when she answered his question the ex-cop shook his head.&nbsp; "You would need to get the pot of gold for that, and I haven't seen a rainbow in forever. Besides, that'd be wasting the other wishes."&nbsp; There, he answered just as jokingly. "You can't have that much debt, anyway?"<br>&nbsp;

				"Do you have a large family or is the big Irish family just a stereotype?," she asked, smiling at the thought to see Butch with six siblings and a slew of nieces and nephews running around him. He would make a great uncle to any of them and she thought of it because of the way he was solid and honest. Hell, he could make a great father too. When Riley thought of him holding his own son in his arms, it made her stomach clench and do a few flip flops. Yes, she was nervous to think Butch would have a child because in the fantasy, there was a blonde at his side which only fueled her anger more. Whoever that bitch was, she was a lucky female to have snapped up Butch. <br><br>Alright, now she was becoming a bit predatorial when she should not be at all. Butch was not hers and the two were only having burgers together. Her stomach rumbled and she thanked Butch once more before she grabbed a few fries and popped them into her mouth. Tasty fries and it was helping to put a bit of color back into her cheeks but it also gave color to the bruises on her neck. It did not hurt so much as it was bothersome to know she could have died and almost did because of wanting to help out. It was one of her faults but she was working on saying no and she had especially with turning down her parents' offer to move back in to save on money. Riley wanted to be on her own and start her life off even if it was going to kill her bank account at that. "Actually, I am a good 60,000 in the hole for college loans but the first wish would help but I have been handling it," she commented, not about to get further into her debt but wanting to keep the subject on a light note. He had no need to worry about her problems but worry about his cheeseburger growing cold.<br><br>While she had been caught up in her thoughts, she noticed something flash on Butch's face. It was the look she usually found when it was on Sonja's males who would give her whatever she wanted if only she would give into their needs. Was Butch trying to let her know he was interested even if it was sexual? No, she was not going to sleep with him for money but maybe he was different. Sure, he wore expensive clothing and had the look about of a dirty cop which he was not by the way he was not trying to interrogate her but it felt like he was just like any plain person. Well, not plain because she doubted he would be considered plain with a look like him. Did the broken nose hurt?

				There was a shadow on Butch's face when his family came up, but then, he had brought it up so he couldn't really protest. "A large one, yes. Five of us, we lost one when she was young." He still hadn't recovered from that, and he knew he never would. Nothing had been the same since they took her. He shook his head, putting some effort into a smile but failing.&nbsp; "We don't really talk with each other." He drank some more, waiting for her to eat and making sure she did.&nbsp; It looked like eating was good for her, and that color on her cheeks was very flattering. "Eat more" he said, holding the fries closer to her so she could pick some of them while she held the burger and drink. The mere sound of her stomach growling set him to an edge.<br><br>"Well, if you are handling it, that's a good thing. That's a hell of a lot of money, what did you study?" He was interested on knowing. She was an educated vampire who had been through college when he was just an ex-cop. He hoped it wasn't advanced physics or something like that or he'd never ever have a chance to keep a conversation going with her. The cop had no high expectations on himself when it came to traditional learning, just what he got on the street and through the job mostly. Was happy he had been able to finish high school, in any case. <br>

				"Yes, a lot of money for a degree in modern literature and a minor in urban mythology. My major deals with books that relate to what is going on such as 9/11, Iraq Wars, PTSD, anything society is starting to show up and with myths, I enjoy to know about different culture's ," she explained wondering if he was going to think of her as some nerd or stuck up bitch for those degrees. She worked hard for those degree, her mother busting herself to aid her as well as her father. The three of them were close but she knew because her mother had been a wild child in her early years before mating herself to her father that the family was considered on the outs with the glymera. It really did not matter to her because her mother was her mother no matter that she was a bit wild, hell, she took on a bit of her mother's wildness tonight. With her father, she took on being hardworking and pushing herself to be accepted into the private university to earn those degrees. <br><br>She looked away from Butch to pop a few more fries into her mouth before she finally picked up her own cheeseburger. "Sorry, I didn't mean to drag it down with family and stuff like that," she answered as she bit into the burger and could have thanked Butch by giving him free Lag for a week. Whatever the food place he got the cheeseburger from it was a lot better than the microwavable ones she bought from the local supermarket. With her budget, anything like cheeseburgers and going out to eat was out of the question. "Come on, eat with me or I might start thinking that you are feeding me because I am anorexic or something," she joked, leaning over to hand him one of the cheeseburgers, a smile playing on her lips.

				<br>He nodded slowly. "So you compare them to myths --like vampires." Butch winked in Riley's direction, picking up the best looking fry from the box and offering it to her as a gift.&nbsp; Butch could see she was proud of her accomplishments, and that made him proud of her in an odd way.&nbsp; The female was so thoughtful that he didn't want to interrupt her, but he was dying to know more about her. "No problem. And I will eat after you do. You aren't anorexic, just beautiful." He took the cheeseburger as offered, but didn't start it yet. She might still be hungry when she finished hers after all, and he didn't want her to go hungry.<br><br>"So other than the ever present wish for gold, what would you ask for yourself?" Butch didn't notice that the shower had stopped running by then.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>The black blood was all gone, and that was enough.

He was smoking a lot today, but who cares. It wasn't as if he was going to get cancer. <br><br>From there he watched, waiting for the right time to ask the cop to bring him his leathers.&nbsp; He didn't want to interrupt.<br>

				Riley smiled as he mentioned vampires because one thing was true and it was the fact Butch was a human while she a vampire. While it was not against any rules in the community, a life with a human was short lived and there was the fact of feeding and pregnancy which could get in the way. Human boyfriends might not be open to their girlfriends going out to drink from other people or even want to be fed on. with Butch it could be different considering he knew about this world. What made her even think this could be a good thing was the fry held out to her. <br><br>A deeper blush appeared beneath her cheeks as she leaned forward, opened her mouth and took the fry from his hand. Her tongue flicked across his fingers before she sat back, glancing down at her milkshake. She could not believe she had done that to Butch and wondered where in the hell that had come from. Riley had a lot of balls to be doing that especially since she met him but once more she told herself there was something about Butch. It had to be something for her to take from his hand and taking from a male's hand was a not some simple thing to do. Taking from a male hand was the same as if she was interested in possibly bonding with him. "Maybe we can do something like this again?," she asked knowing she was getting herself into a bigger hole with Rehv and Xhex. <br><br>Looking away once more, she started to suck at the milkshake, this time it was giving in and letting her enjoy the vanilla shake. "If I asked something for myself? I would say I would want to see the world, maybe head off to Europe but mostly England, Ireland, Scotland, something about those three places seem like a good thing," she answered as she smelled something in the air. The scent could only belong to a true smoker because whoever was smoking was starting it to stink up the place a bit. Well, not really stink since it smelled nice but it tickled her nose every once in a while. If she was a smoker, she might have tried something of the sort but her sin of choice was chocolate and ice cream.<br><br>The smoking continued and it took her a few seconds to realize who else could be in the room with the same smoke she remembered the first time he told her to be careful with Butch. V. She almost forgot about V and had actually gotten to relax a bit. Now she was tensed and her heart started to do the same pitter patter it went through with Butch. Why was her heart messing up on her? The pitter patter only started when she was interested which it had for Butch but now it was doing so for V. Riley's heart needed to stop playing around all the while informing Riley it had to pitter patter for two because it was interested in both men. "Is V out of the shower?," she asked as nonchalantly as she could while she picked up a fry to pop into Butch's mouth.

				<br>It was as if time had frozen, and then it started moving in slow motion. Butch watched Riley lean over frame by frame, every shift of her lips as they parted, the way the fry disappeared between them, the gleaming moisture on the tongue that touched his fingertips... Something was thrumming somewhere, like the rhythmic beating of his hearth, only further down. No, further.&nbsp; Right there, laying close to his hip. Shit. Hopefully his jacket would cover it. He'd just stay here and not stand up for a while. Like a day or two. He wanted to lick his fingers. No, he wanted to lick her lips. To push into her mouth and drink from it as he kissed her. Do something like this again? How about tomorrow? Instead, he asked: "When is your next day off?"<br><br>It was weird how every instinct was out of whack when he was around her.&nbsp; "The old world" he agreed. "It would be a fun thing to do, but we'd have to plan it carefully to catch the red-eyes." he smiled to himself, imagining Riley in Europe, climbing to the last step on the big ben and looking down, or in one of the green lush mountains of Ireland. And he tried to imagine himself by her side.&nbsp; There it was again, the thrumming, and he just didn't know what to do next to get at leas a little less uncomfortable.&nbsp; Then Riley asked about V., and there, that did the trick, if only a little. What if V. really wanted her? He knew instinctively that that wasn't his or V's choice to make, though. It was all up to Riley. "I don't hear the shower anymore" he admitted, looking over to the bathroom and locking eyes with the smoking V.&nbsp; The fry popped into his mouth when he opened it, and then he was following all the way to Riley's fingers.&nbsp; It was just the suction, really, because he took some of those for a split second.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous watched the feeding with gleaming eyes. Was it jealousy he felt? Moreover, was it for Riley, or for Butch? Or was it both? He took another drag, not entirely comfortable with answering that question.&nbsp; She was blushing, and her tongue. Her tongue was pink and tiny and thoroughly, thoroughly kissable. Oh, fuck that. Butch needed to take her quick before it was too late.&nbsp; It looked like the cop had been doing some reading on the courting of vampires at least, because he was doing all the right things. Things that V wanted to do for her too. Or for him. Dammit.&nbsp; He met Butch's eyes straight up, reaching down to hold on the towel just in case it decided to fall.<br><br>"I am done, yes" he said from there. "Just need my leathers from over there if you wouldn't mind passing them, I didn't want to interrupt. You two looked awful cozy." The last comes with a glance to Riley, but that's to be expected. Anyone knows what it sounds like when gears fall into place all at the same time? That's the sound that deafened Vishous for a moment. Yeah. Cozy.&nbsp; He couldn't choose, and he wasn't going to. He wasn't going to get in the middle.&nbsp; What's that about the road to hell and good intentions?<br>

				It was sweet for Butch to want to know the days she was off, even more that he wanted to spend more time with her. To Riley, it was starting to show he might be interested in more than the sex even if she could not give in to him but the thought of kissing him appealed to her. His lips were too full as if they should be on a woman but on him it looked absolutely tempting and the kind which would make a woman spill all of her dark secrets. Even now, she wanted to tell him about the scar on her hand and the times she felt as if she could not survive on her own but she was not going to unload all of that on him at once. Riley was not about to scare him off with her neurotics thoughts but not to say she was nuts by any means but women were emotional beings no matter if the females were human or vampires. She might get criticized for say this but all females were bound to be emotional at one point or another and were able to annoy even one another. There, Riley said it and hoped she would not annoy or go emotional on Butch at the moment.<br><br>However, she was on a thread to break in and tell Butch that he might as well kiss her now. Damn it, what was going on with her? <em>Dear Scribe, give me strength because I might slide onto Butch's lap like some female whore who would sleep with any male for food and comfort</em>, she thought as she looked up towards the ceiling hoping the Scribe would come in and help her out. Nevertheless, the Scribe Virgin had better things to do than worry over a silly female like her. "A nice fantasy to go out to the Highlands and maybe even check out the Loch Ness," she replied as she watched him take the fry from her hand. <br><br>Oh, dear Scribe. Her fingers started to tingle and her breath hitched inching on the couch towards him. He was really making things hard for her not to be the wild child her mother would sometimes joke she could be but then again, her mother was the wild child poster to be one in the first place. There were even times Riley wondered how her mother Drusilla could give up her ways but once she saw the way she looked at her father, Riley prayed to find someone like that. Could it be possible to have that with Butch <em>No, stop imagining things, you almost got yourself killed and you need to stop it</em>, her inner conscious told her as it smacked her inner voice around a couple of times in her head. She became even more sobered up to hear V's words and know it was him who was smoking in the bathroom. <br><br>The mistake she made was to turn her head around and look at V. <em>Oh, Dear Scribe, I am dead.</em>, she thought as her betraying heart start up with the pitter-patter and she had to make a decision. The decision was whether her heart was trying to tell her something with these two men because it was confusing the hell out of her. Silently, she watched him ask for his leathers and she glanced to see where his leathers were on the couch before she reached out to hand them over. "Here you go and you might want to slow down on the smokes before you kill the humans with the second hand smoke," she commented, wondering if it would piss him off but merely trying to be helpful. Butch was human and if he died because of cancer or his drinking, no, she was not going to think about his mortality. It hurt too much to think about it.

				She was looking at his lips.&nbsp; The temptation of licking them was almost too much, but Butch refrained from doing it. He wanted to kiss her more each second, but it just wasn't right. He didn't want her to think that he wanted to rush things, that's not what you did on a first date, and technically, this wasn't one. Besides, there was Vishous right there.&nbsp; "Loch Ness, yes. More myths, aren't there? Maybe we can go to Ireland and find some leprechauns too."&nbsp; She didn't tell him about her next day off, but he would press that issue later.&nbsp; Right now, with his lips closed around her fingers, Butch found himself looking at Vishous. It was probably a good thing that he didn't have fangs, because all of a sudden he knew he would have used them if he did.&nbsp; What was he doing, anyway? He /really/ didn't want V. like that. He most definitely was not gay. Nope. No. Never.<br><br>That's probably why he didn't reach for the leathers before Riley did, and didn't stop her from giving them to him, and if his breathing was quicker it was because of Riley alone. He released her fingers in a gesture that was a little too quick. "We are okay" he answered to V's 'cozy' comment,&nbsp; turning to look to Riley again. "I brought some food too, in case you are hungry." There. When Riley spoke of smoking, he just laughed. "I heard it takes ten years off your life, but considering what I imagine my nineties to be, I might as well lose them to some fun instead." He winked to her, and&nbsp; then Butch couldn't help himself; his hand reached up to brush a lock of hair behind her ear in a gentle, careful gesture that left his fingers there for a moment. "Eat" he said then,&nbsp; waiting. "And about your next night off... "<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous murmured something under his breath about cigars, cancer and doctors, but then he was holding his cig with the same hand he was holding his towel, and he was very interested in keeping his towel in place as he reached for the leathers with a curt "thank you" that could have easily been spelled a totally different way and still sounded the same.&nbsp; He quickly turned away&nbsp; to get dressed, but burned the cigarrette away long before it was finished.&nbsp; Whether Butch wanted them or not, ten years were a lot more than none, and V. wasn't going to lose his best friend any sooner than ordained if he had anything to do with it.<br><br>He dropped the towel then, and slid into his pants as quickly as he could. He didn't like to be naked. Never had. Besides, he had seen the look on the Female's face. The&nbsp; hunger in it, the same kind he had seen Bella look at Zsadist with when he insisted in staying away from her, before he caved in. Fuck if he was going to cave. <br>

				Yes, she continued to look at his lips. How could one not stare at his full lips? Lips to tempt even a nun if Butch really tried his best to seduce a female of God. Well, how about it? Riley was not female of the cloth and right now she could go with a bit of temptation. Temptation could definately be on her list of things tonight. No, not tonight. Already, she could feel the hour was drawing in closer to dawn and she had no clue what time it was now. She could be already off her shift and she had to see Rehv about the meeting he wanted to have in his office. While the thought of being fired was something to worry about, what outwon employment was whether Butch would look good if he was having her children. A child who would have his hair and her eyes. Maybe even a little boy who looked exactly like him with the exception of the drinking and the broken nose. Well, maybe the broken nose. Wait. Wait just a Scribe minute.<br><br>Their children? She was imagining their children? Dear Scribe of the Fade she was starting to lose a grip on reality. <em>Riley, get a grip on yourself. You are going to melt all over the couch and make Butch and V clean it up</em>, she chided to herself as she took the needed strength to pretend nothing was going on. Nope, she was not affected with Butch's mouth around her fingers even with the urge to ask him to bite her skin sneaking into her thoughts. "Yes and maybe a few fairies who are known to be tricksters but the Loch Ness myth appeals to me more," she answered as she silently thanked him for giving her fingers back. While she would not object to him holding onto her hand, Riley doubt Rehv would be open to seeing Butch latched onto her wrist when she came in for the private meeting. Rehv might try to bash Butch's brains in but she bet whatever had gone down with the meeting to collect damages from V might not have better since V was still in one piece. Well, a nice piece anyway.<br><br>"I do not know when I get my night off, I usually take up a lot of shifts but I know we can do something before I have to teach a class. You could come over as long as you do not mind a puggle," she explained as she blushed to feel him move a lock of her hair behind her ear. Dear Scribe, it felt good to feel his hand upon her but she knew it was crazy. She was crazy to be feeling this way especially at a time like this. Maybe once she got herself some sleep and a bit of blood she would be in a better state of mind. Yes, much better once she slept and drank to refresh her spirits. Once she had those two things, she would see how foolish she was acting with not only Butch but thinking of V in that manner. It was wrong to feel such emotions for not only one human male but a male vampire as well. Riley was not about to pit these men against one another nor would she wish that on anyone who fell for more than one person.

				Reluctantly, Butch brought his own hand back to himself as she spoke, taking his time to taste the leftover salt of the fry on his lips. Right, yes, that's exactly why he had to lick them now.&nbsp; When V. left, the ex-cop looked back at the female, just to see if she followed V with her eyes. When she didn't, he grinned even wider.&nbsp; "Monster over Fairies? You are hardly like any woman I have ever met before, Riley." He pronounced her name with his scotch-voice, a little hoarsed and sharp around the edges. He could get drunk on her.&nbsp; Well, that would mean drink from her, wouldn't it? Now, that was a thought, and the image in Butch's mind had nothing to do with blood.&nbsp; <br><br>"A puggle?" The question came in surprise. He hadn't met any vampires who kept dogs, and suddenly her having one was a rather endearing idea. Pets must be hard to keep for them, being that they need the sunlight and all, but then maybe the doggen walked hers during the day. He could only imagine her hands petting the dog, and he smiled again. "If you tell me where you live, I'll be there before sunset, and&nbsp; bring your new shoes." He'd offer to drive her, but he was sure V. wasn't going to be too much into letting him drive after all that lag.&nbsp; She had something in her mind too, obviously, and he really, really wanted to know what it was. Instead, he posed a different question: "That's two wishes, what would be your third?"<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>V's nice piece was sitting tight inside his pants while he tried to get over himself and ready to go. It was almost the time for the Female to arrive in his penthouse, after all, and he couldn't wait for it. He had to get Riley out of his head and this was the best way. Besides, he needed to drink, his thirst was growing faster since he had been in this room with her. He got his new jacket on to cover the daggers and stepped out, quietly, while giving the cop the universal gesture for 'later'.<br>

				Riley could feel her blood humming to the surface of her skin and her eyes dilating as she watched Butch lick his lips. She only wished she was the one to lick the salt of the fries off of his mouth but Riley knew it would open up a world of trouble. Even now she was pushing the limits by putting herself out there at a time when she should focus on her career. To her, something was going to break soon enough but there was no time line on when it would happen. The Scribe Virgin knew all which would happen and she had plans to see to a few things behind the scenes for these three individuals.<br><br>For now, she relaxed and enjoyed Butch's company. "I think monsters like the Loch Ness and even the wendigo types in Native American culture appeal to me more than small little winged fairies. Not to say fairies are not interesting but you can expect the flying and pixie dust spraying but not much with a wendigo," she explained, a smile appearing on her lips once more. It felt good to smile considering there was a slew of things about to implode sooner or later. On her list was the fact Rehv wanted to see her in his office. This was the first time she had not gone over right away but a part of her wanted Rehv to fire her. Rehv and Xhex were trying to be good people but the pair were not her parents. She disliked being treated like a kid and to be here with Butch, disobeying their advice felt nice all the while feeling it would come back to bite her in the ass. <br><br>However, with Butch's accent calling her name in that tone and asking her where she lived to come over and bring her the shoes felt good to be appreciated. "The name is Phantom, he is one of those Napoleon dogs who will fight a bigger dog to show his territory. Even now, he is going to be scratching at the door waiting for me," she commented, looking at her watch to see that yes, her shift was over for the night. The sun would be up in another two hours and she had to see Rehv about her job. <em>Fuck the job, I can get another one</em> one part of her conscience while the other told her to be careful and cautious of things. One of these days, her mind was going to split into two people and she would live two different lives with two different people. <br><br>With that thought in mind, she remembered V and looked over to Butch. "My second wish is to know what your relationship is to V and the third would be whether I could find love in this world," she answered quickly, standing up and smoothing down her jeans. The food satisfied her but now she had to see Rehv and get this over with. No matter if she continued to chat with Butch, Rehv would be there around the corner waiting for her to grill into her ass. No matter what, she would let Rehv know she was a big vampire female, well, curve vampire female but she could handle things. "I have to see Rehv about my job, ask Sonja, she will give you my address, I am sorry that I have to cut this short," she answered, waving to him at the same point she nodded to V when he headed out.

				<br>Xhex murmured something to herself as she saw the pair feeding each other in Rehvenge's monitors. The fact that the male was running his hand through his mohawk was not a quieting thing either. At least Vishous wasn't part of it, though she almost jumped when Riley reached to get the clothes and she realized he was there in the frame again. She had a bad feeling all over about this.&nbsp; A very bad feeling.<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Butch smiled at the name. "Phantom is a fitting name, I think I just might like him." Whatever smile was in his face at the end of that sentence, the second and third wish erased it completely from there. "Of course you will find love" he said without hesitation as he stood to help her up. "As for V. and I.." he grinned again, roguish-like "We are like brothers. He saved my life too, and I like to think I saved his." If there were anything deeper than that he wasn't telling, not that he would admit to it anyway or even believe it himself. "But I admire your pursuit of knowledge. I'll ask Sonja." The ex-cop watched her go just like that, without quite taking the kiss that was so blatant in his mind at that moment.&nbsp; <br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>From the door, Vishous watched the two, and held it open as Riley approached, keeping a wide enough stance to make sure she had a lot of room to get through without touching him.&nbsp; He nodded back to her from there and waited for Riley to go through before following. "I'll see you at the pit, cop." His voice was quiet, but the tension was audible, particularly as Riley approached. He wanted to pick her up and take her with him. Screw the Reverend. Not that he would, of course, but everyone can dream.<br><br>

				Sonja could not believe Riley was snatching her sugar daddy away from her. Who the fuck did she think she was trying to come in and mess up her plan? She almost had the male and yet this one was all over her. Now she had find a way to get him back before her rent was up by the end of next week. Sonja was good at pegging those with money and the way the man drank Lag as if it were water let her know he was rich in his pockets. If anyone was going to have him, it was her by any means necessary. When she wanted something, she took it no matter who she hurt in the end. She had to step on a couple of necks to get to the top of the ladder. Right now, Riley's neck was in the way.<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Riley needed to talk to V. If he knew what Butch was like and Butch was not about to say anything to inform her of his relationship with Butch, it made her wonder if he was hiding something. "I need to talk to you, now," she asked beneath her breath, reaching out to grab him by his hand to try and drag him out of the lounge and into the hallway to talk. It was going to be a worthwhile task to get him into the hallways seeing as he had a lot more weight and he looked as if he did not want to be close to her for some reason. Funny how she wanted to be close to him to talk but before she wanted him away from her. Her brain really needed to make up its mind.<br><br>++++++++++++++<br><br>Rehv was not enjoying this play of events. He continued to run his hand through his mohawk, not caring he was ruining the effect showed just how much the actions going on the monitors were getting to him. He never had to worry about many things because orders would be followed and no one would question him. However, it seemed Bella was not the only female who disobeyed his warnings and commands. He was going to have to play dirty especially to see Riley rushing off to go after V or to see him, Rehv had no idea. Nonetheless, he knew how to work the system and with Riley, he would make sure to make the system work against her for her own protection.

				Butch watched them go and sat back down, not missing the way Riley reached for Vishous at all. He looked at the food then and started eating, suddenly finding himself famished. There was no way that he was going to walk in on them, particularly after what the 'gossip queen' of the brotherhood had said. It took him a while to get done, but once he did he walked out and back to the VIP section of the lounge, flagging Sonja for one last lag. One for the road!<br><br>++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous looked down at his gloved hand and then up to Riley. Then he looked down at his hand again. "I'd let go of that if I were you," he warned in a serious tone of voice. When his eyes rose to her once more, there was more than a little heat in them. He wouldn't move until she'd let go, but once that happened he followed quietly towards the back exit with one single look back to the lounge and Butch. He folded his arms in front of his chest once they stopped, and took his time to look at Riley from head to toe and back. "I have a thing to go to. Better make this short." It wasn't as if the Females didn't know that sometimes he might be stopped on the way. She would wait for him, and she'd be better for it.<br><br>Still, he didn't really want to be too close to this one, not because of Rehvenge and Xhex's threats, but because there was something in her that pulled on him, and pulled hard. He really didn't want to be caught off guard. There it was again, that curve of her neck and shoulder, almost straight from his vision. Dear virgin. He -really- needed to drink, and it hadn't been that long since the last time. Why the fuck was he so thirsty now? "Say whatever it is, and let's get it over with. I've had enough people rolling their tongues already."<br><br>++++++++++++++<br><br>"It can't be such a bad thing" Xhex interceded in the end, kicking herself mentally in the ass for even getting in the middle of this shitstorm.&nbsp; "I mean, it isn't as if the cop will taste her blood and find out the difference." It was an advantage. "Just have to keep her away from the warrior."<br>

				Sonja hurried in her heels towards the VIP room, knowing this was her chance to get to Butch. She had to come up with a way to get him to notice her and the best way was to trash Riley's reputation. Though Riley was considered a friend only on the terms she did not screw Sonja out of getting the best tips and male accessories, right now Riley was about to be thrown under the bus. "Sorry that you had to deal with Riley, she can be a bit of a drama queen, especially with her boyfriend bartender telling her to screw other guys," she commented as she put down a lag for Butch already ready with it in case he needed something to wash the taste of Riley out of his mouth.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>Riley held up her hands to let him know she was not going to touch him again even though her skin goosebumped at the contact. Not in a bad way but it felt nice, almost as if he needed the touch which only made her realize she needed to rest and forget the fact V was eyeing her in a not so good way. "I want to know what is up and down with you and Butch? You tell me to be good to him and I will admit I like him but there is something up with you two," she admitted, not in the mood to play games or tip toe around things. There were times to be honest and right now, she wanted to know what was going on between these two men. Were they former lovers? Still lovers? She knew males could have relationships with one another but where they all the while trying to pretend to be straight?<br><br>Crossing her arms over her chest, she needed to know before she even tried to go anywhere with Butch. Fuck, she could not believe it. Was the Scribe Virgin trying to play with her at a time like this? There was always the sense there was someone watching her but right she felt the itch of someone looking down at them and she glanced up to only see the ceiling and cameras. Shit, not good considering Rehv could be watching. "Just tell me now if Butch and you are fucking or pretending to be straight because I do not want to get in the middle of more things," she stated, clenching her fists in anger. She was angry because if Butch was gay, she had almost fallen for a man who was only into men and was on the brink of losing a job for it. If Rehv could only see her now, oh, wait he could.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rehv only slammed a closed fist onto his laptop thus cracking the screen and motherboard. He was going to have to get his technical advisor to extract the date and move it onto a new laptop. Laptops were not hard to pay for but he hated taking his aggression out at a time like now. Rehv had almost attacked V and given more ammunition to the bastard but right now as he watched Riley talking with V, he wished he had done a lot more to the male. Calling him a monster was the best he could come up with without giving himself away. "You need to make sure Riley is taking those pills, her needing period is coming up in a few weeks," he stated, not about to go through Riley in the throes of needing a male to mate and conceive with her over and over.

				<br>Butch looked up at the quick service, lifting an eyebrow when Sonja got so very close to him and even more so when the gratuitious comment about Riley came out of her lips. The cop shook his head and followed her game, even if it wasn't hard to see where the blond was headed. It was good that he could read people so easily, and the bartender was obviously gay. Plus he'd seen the kiss between the two earlier, and it hadn't had any chemistry in it. Plus.. plus he had to stop trying to convince himself. Shit, it wasn't as if he was going to -believe- what Sonja was telling him, or that he -really- wanted to punch the guy on his face until he smeared the mirrored wall of bottles behind him.&nbsp; He looked into Sonja's eyes with his own narrowed ones. "I really didn't ask, but since we are talking 'bout her, you wouldn't mind telling me where she lives. Would you?"<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>"He's good for a human" Vishous answered, a much broader answer than Riley expected, of course. He leaned his shoulder on the wall as he looked at her from above, the hunger starting to thrum with a dull ache on the pit of his stomach, and a slight growth of his fangs. That was all he intended to say about it. It was none of her business what Butch or he himself did. Besides, why did everyone go with the assumption that they were fucking? Really, it got old, particularly when he knew he wasn't gonna get any from the cop. Butch was straight as they come, and he wasn't about to tip his hand either.&nbsp; Then Riley pushed it.&nbsp; "You want to know if the cop bends over for me, female?" There was an edge to his voice all over again. <br><br>"Is that what you are looking for, two for the price of one?" His eyes gleamed a little, and the tips of his fangs started to lengthen under his upper lip to the point where he almost seemed to snarl at her. He could only answer questions with questions for so long, and something in the way she stood in front of him made Vishous see a certain vulnerability in her. She probably didn't want to have to fight him for Butch anyway, everyone knew who'd win that one. Vishous snorted, looking up at the cameras and stepping out without answering. Instead, he set a hand around Riley's arm and led her through the door and out into the alley before pressing her against the wall there. Just like someone might a whore. <br><br>His breath hissed against Riley's ear, warm and spiced just like the scent he reminded himself to hold back a second too late. "We are not fucking. Not that I don't want to, mind you. I'd do him faster than I'd do you, but he isn't into that, I'm afraid." As harsh and crude as he put it, Vishous was telling the truth and it was a painful one that those with the right senses would be easily able to identify and feed on. "You want him? Go ahead, there is nothing to get in between of."<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex watched the laptop go with a sigh. There went the last two weeks' profits, and she wasn't sure there was a backup. Hopefully it could be recovered, but the books were going to be a mess for a while.&nbsp; "She thinks they are vitamines, good for those who feed on humans at least. But she's going to need more than that when she gets there. Are they strong enough?" She didn't even want to think about her own needing period. The last time had been a fucking nightmare, and she didn't wish that on anyone, much less Riley. "Maybe she'd be better off going to Havers' and being put under."<br>

				Fuck, this was not going right for her. She should have him hanging on her every word, shouting to the rooftops that he was not going to see her and move on. This male should be looking at her and deciding she was the next best thing. But did he? No, he was asking about Riley and where she fucking lived. She had to work fast on this one but she played dumb about knowing where Riley lived. "Sorry, I do not remember it myself, maybe ask her bartender boyfriend but he might ask you to join them for a threeway," she hurried to add as she looked him over with hunger in her eyes. Not hunger because she lusted for him but for the fat wallet he could spend on her if she snagged him on her line. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>V was not really answering her question. In fact, it felt as if he was skirting the subject where she would not have guessed he would with her. He made gestures warning her to be good to him and yet he was not helping her out in the bit. "'He's good for a human?' It does not really help me in the least V. I want to get to know him but for all I know he could be into you and right now I am wondering why the hell I should be caring about it. Fuck, I must be going crazy or some shit," she cursed, knowing she cursed only when she was frustrated and really into something or someone for that matter. Riley should be relieved of the fact Butch could be gay but it only made her stomach clench something awful which made her hope he was into females.<br><br>Her cheeks tinted with blush not about to concede to his wishes and sputter like some schoolgirl who knew nothing about sex. Well, honestly, she did not but she had read enough novels and seen enough video to get a handle of things. Who would have thunk it there were vampire on vampire movies even though it was humans who played the vampires. It was still a slow progression for the community to take and it barely managed to accept most females did not want to be chained down and kept in the kitchen or the bedroom. Females wanted to live as long as males but it was up to how the pregnancies or even the lessers to give them a fighting change. For Riley, if she ever mated it would be to someone who honored the vows and did not go spreading his seed because she chose to wait a while to become with child. Yes, Riley wanted a child but not for a while, not until she was clear of debts and worries. However, it seemed her list of priorities were being shifted around without her permission. <br><br>At the moment the priority of finding someone to love seemed to have shot up to number one in the span of a few hours. Even now she was going through the task of finding out information about Butch from V, a man who looked pretty close to attacking her. The way he stood and something about him, she knew not how she could know but he looked almost predatorial. Enough so that it made her think he wanted to possess her just as much as she hated to be tested by other males. It seemed male vampires were desperate in their search for a female and because she gave off signs she never knew she gave off of one in need of a big and burly male to take care of her, there were always a few regulars who continued to ask her out on dates or even to go back to their places to screw. To her, at this moment V could be one of those who wanted to take her back to his place and have his wicked way with her.<br><br>Where she should have been angry, instead, she felt lust and it pissed her off even more. "I only want to know if I am on a fool's mission to even want to see if something could come of this," she started only to stop when he asked if she wanted two for the price of one. Her morals and dignity made her want one for one male was enough and two would make her feel boxed into the corner but another part of her peaked at the interest of two males wanting her just as much as she wanted the pair. However, Butch seemed to want to court her, though it was hard to imagine him wanting to court her while V looked as if he rather fuck her and throw her to the side. Riley's body seemed to respond well to both thoughts where it distracted her enough she had not noticed V wrapping a hand around her arm and leading her towards the alley. <br><br>The wall pressed into her back, her breath hitching as she wondered what he might do to her. All she wanted was answers but the same traitorous part of her wanted to shut up and feel. She shivered as she felt his breath against her ear but she kept her eyes and ears opened throughout this whole exchange. "But you want to, I can somehow sense it, I do not know why but I do especially when you gave us a look on the couch. Do you also fantasize about taking us both? I like him but I bet you wished he did not like me for one reason or another," she questioned, her courage only fueled by the need to know what she should be ignorant of tonight. She placed her hands on his chest ready to push him away and end this conversation but she was foolish enough to grip his jacket as if she wanted him to move closer. She glanced up to take a chance and see where his mind was, all the while never knowing she was pushing the line. Riley needed to come to terms with a few things: she enjoyed the company of an human male AND, it was a big AND, she enjoyed the company of a vampire male but she knew only one would want to date her while another simply wanted to fuck her. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Were you the one to make her believe it was vitamins?," he asked, smiling at how Xhex managed to get Riley to take those little pills. It had been too awkward for him to work a tale of the 'vitamins' being good for her all the while knowing it was birth control to keep her from conceiving once her needing period started. There was no exact date on when the day of her needing time would start up. All he knew it was this year and in a few more weeks once she turned another year, he feared the risk of her being heavy with any male's babe. "As far as I know from Havers, it should keep unless she forgets to take them daily. Once you get her in here, ask her if she has taken them but I pray to the Scribe those pills help but I do not want to head down the road if she has to be put under. It might take her out of commission for the week to make sure her needing time is over and done with," he explained not in the mood to put her under for a little bit only to find out her needing period still had a hold on her when she awoke from her drug dazed.

				<br>Butch shook his head. He wasn't going to play that game, to say the least.&nbsp; Sonja was a pretty girl, but not the sort he wanted by his side. or in his bed. Riley.... He chuckled into his glass as he lifted it and drank, shaking his head. God. He had not known her for a day, and still he was feeling this weird attraction that wasn't going anywhere. Not if she was into V.&nbsp; There went another gulp of whiskey down his throat. He had no business in this world anyway. He wasn't a vampire, wasn't one of them. He looked at Sonja and sighed. Why didn't he want these women? Why was it Xhex the one that had stirred after Beth and Marissa? He had far too many questions without an answer --such as Riley's address. He waited for Sonja to come back and then gestured her closer. Only when she was bent over the table to hear him better, did Butch reach up to take her hair in his hand. Itcould have been tender, but the look she gave her was not. He stuck a bill between her breasts, and then another. "Sonja. That's your tip." he murmured with his cop voice. "It'll be the last tip you ever get from me if you don't give me what I want, and I think you know exactly what I want. Here. " He pushed a napkin and a pen her way.&nbsp; Worse case scenario, he'd just have to wait for Riley to come out and follow her. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Females. They could never get around to what they really wanted until they were told exactly what it was. He wasn't going to tell this one, certainly. He brought her out to the alley because he didn't want to deal with the cameras, and whatever was going -or not going-&nbsp; on with Butch&nbsp; was definitely /not/ Rehvenge's business. Yet here she was, holding his jacket as if he wanted him to bite. Hell, he didn't like the drinking and only did it because he had to, but here the urge was growing, and so was her scent. So were his fangs, by the way. He nuzzled the vein with his nose, closing his eyes as he imagined what it would be like to sink himself there... and that's when it hit him again. The same neck, the same eyes, the urgency to possess in ways that he'd never have cared to possess before. <br><br>The vision flashed out in a split second, but the hunger didn't. "I wish he didn't like you, because you will hurt him" he stated, fighting the urge to bite. He didn't fight the urge to come closer, however, and felt her grow smaller as he pushed her in between himself and the wall. "Or I will hurt him because of you. I /told/ you not to touch me. You have no idea what I do to my females." He should be moving away. He should be gone already, but he was lifting his head to look into Riley's eyes instead, and hunger was only a part of what was in there. "Or maybe you do." Rather than touching her, he forced his hands against the wall at each side of her,&nbsp; trapping her in place. "You are different."<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Maybe I was." Xhex wasn't in the mood to play with Rehv right now. Maybe she was going to see to Butch before he left. Maybe she was going to push him into the bathroom and ride him until he couldn't think of Riley anymore. Xhex didn't think about too many males like that --in fact, there had been a very precious few that could get into her pants.&nbsp; She pushed her thigh against Rhev's desk, making the thorns of her cilice sink into her skin with a cooling, grounding sensation of pain. She breathed with relief. That was better, she couldn't afford to lose it. "Maybe you should tell her, though. So she'll make her own decisions."

				Whatever Sonja wanted, Sonja would get and right now it looked as if he was falling for her lies. Yes, lie through her teeth and receive her money in her hands by the end of the night. She assumed he wanted to talk dirty words into her ear and she obliged him with her ear close to his mouth. Bad move. Sonja hissed in pain and tried to move away only to find out that he had a good grip on her hair. She wanted to turn vampire but knew Rehv would only be that much upset with pissing off the customers. Damn Riley for being a different and good little female. She bet Riley never even kissed another male in her life and now she was going to get herself the good one in this place with bags of money to shower Riley anytime she asked for it. While Sonja appreciated the bills between her breasts, she rather have his cock but he was in no mood to play games. With a huff, she placed her tray to the side and used her now free hands to write down Riley's address. Easily, Sonja could have wrote down the wrong address but if he was going to pull her hair in anger for lying, she did not want to find out what he might do if he was given the wrong home address. "Here, take it you bastard. Riley is a virgin and she won't give it up for just anyone," she replied, sliding it across from him as she made another move to release herself from his hold. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Riley arched her neck to him even as she knew it was the most hateful thing she could do not only to herself but whoever she would find true love with in the end. She kept herself like this in order to find the one male, human or vampire, who would love her for who she was, scar, problems, dog and all while she loved them for their own. Now it seemed she could ruin it by letting him think he had the right to nuzzle her neck as if he was preparing for the right moment to strike. While she should have started to push him away, just like her first thought before of doing so, she went in the opposite direction where Riley gripped his jacket harder and mewled. Damn it, this was not right and she to put the brakes on things. She cared about Butch, had seen images of him holding their babe and by her doing this, she was no better than the whore who frequented ZeroSum on Rehv's request. <br><br>"You are right in that because I care about him, it sounds crazy to do so in just a few hours but I do," she admitted, not about to lie about her feelings on Butch. She would keep the fact she also felt something for V but he was not one for emotional outbursts. The man kept himself cool and collected even when he enforced the fear of him into her veins. Not only fear but lust. Yes. Lust. Nope, not lying about her lusting for him even as she felt horrible and amused by it in the same thought. When he came closer, she moved farther back but kept her hold on his jacket all the while knowing she was sealing her fate in one way or another. She should be pushing back. Riley should be dematerializing. Even now, she should be asking him to move away from her. Should. Should. Should. She should but she did not. Nope, she was not moving away from V nor was she letting her gaze falter from his one. Riley kept her eyes opened and found the hunger in his eyes but could not detect the other things she noticed as well. <br><br>Taking a deep breath, she let it out slowly as she listened to his last words. "I am not your female so I do not have no clue what you do to them but I can only guess what it is." Liar. She had a feeling he did a few X-rated things to his females. From the way he looked, he was not one for snuggling in bed or pillow talk. Nope. Vishous looked as if he would take any female of his up against a brick wall, shuck her skirt above her hips, rip her panties to the side before he plunged inside to take his own satisfaction in the coupling. Just imagining and assuming it made her skin flame up once more and her eyes dilate knowing he would see all of this. "I am different only because I am not going to bend over and take it from anyone as you put it earlier with Butch. I am different but I am my own," she whispered as she finally looked away from him and glanced off down the alleyway, knowing she wanted Butch and V but realizing it came at a heavy price.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Then maybe you want to tell her you have fucked Butch before and you want him even now," he whispered with a menace behind his words. He did not need his sympath abilities to know that she was envious of what Riley was going to have if she continued on this path. He hated to see women running after a human like Butch. He was weak because he was human and thus able to die easily unlike the rest of them. While he did not want Riley to be with Butch if Xhex touched him and Riley found out, it would only push her further away from Rehv and Xhex. Right now, Riley put some trust into their hands but once Xhex broke it and Riley realized Xhex only warned her away because she wanted a piece of Butch it would damage any change of keeping her needing period under lock and key. "Go on, tell her that you conveniently forget to tell her you fucked Butch in the bathroom of ZeroSum and want to do so again. Go on, see if it will help Riley." If Riley forgot to take any of her pills because she was angry at Xhex or at Rehv because of Butch being found in the throes of anything with Xhex in the bathroom, his change to redeem himself would be lost forever.

				<br>Normally, Butch didn't approve of hurting women, but this wasn't really hurting and Sonja was asking for it. Besides, if she didn't move, it wouldn't hurt so she might as well make things easy for herself.&nbsp; Shit, he was turning into V., wasn't he? He watched her write, reading the address upside down and sighing. Not the best part in town. He wondered how could there be vampires that weren't filthy rich... I mean, they lived for such a long time, they had to provide for their offspring, didn't they? He'd find out sooner or later, but right now all he wanted to do was get that paper, which he did, and let go of Sonja with a bright smile. "Why, thank you. I don't consider myself just anyone either." There he had it. Where the fuck was Rhage? It was time to go home.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"You are a bad liar" Vishous retorted. She probably would never realize just what it was that prompted that comment. She /was/ His. He knew it like he knew the sun would set again tomorrow. Like he knew Butch was too. He might as well fucking get out of the picture before he hurt the both of them --and just as he thought that,&nbsp; he knew it was too late. V. was on edge, and there was only one thing he knew to do to get out of it. He looked into her eyes again and smiled, his fangs lengthening as he spoke. "As soon as I leave, you need to run back in, Riley, and don't look back. Do you hear me?" He only waited for the first sign that she had heard him and dematerialized. Poof.<br><br>Straight into his penthouse.&nbsp; The candles roared as he lit them all at the same time, illuminating the dark furniture and the balcony where the female he called had been waiting. He opened the glass doors and let the evening wind in, his eyes as much on fire as the room was. "Your mask is on the table," he growled. "So should you be, now." He turned away from her to look down at the city lights as she found her way, hands closing upon the security railing. Even the wind was singing their names, together. That was the way it should be, and he would watch over them. They were both different.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"And then maybe I don't want to." Xhex's voice turned hard at the threat. "Whatever happened between the cop and I had no strings attached, which is the way I like it. Last I heard, it was the same way you liked it. Now, I am not going to bring it out to her unless it is necessary, and right now it is not." It was nobody's business what she got off with, much less Rehv's. "It was a long time ago."<br>

				Sonja left just as Rhage was coming back with a fucking grin on his face. He had dined on his fast food and soon after managed to burn half of it half with the thre ladies again. He was going to have to come back tomorrow and see if it was true about the redheads being wild in the bedroom, well, bathroom considering he never took females back to the compound. Rhage had no reason to nor would he ever do so until he ever thought about settling down. Sure, he would settle down when V found himself someone to love and not spank the hell out of her until she cried in pain and came all over herself for it. "Did you manage to get another female to hate you?," he questioned as he settled himself in the booth wondering how things went with Riley.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Riley wondered exactly what he thought she was lying about. She was not lying about having feelings for Butch even though it made her wary on any she could have for Vishous. He would not settle down with a female who could not take being his submissive pet. While it would be a new thing to try, she never could see herself being at a male's beck and call. She wanted to fight for her right in the partnership and even have him fight to want her as well. For V, she doubted he wanted to fight if it was not worth absolute and whole submission forever from a female. Even now her eyes caught onto the fact his fangs were out and the blood in her veins rose to the surface in waiting. She should be scared but instead Riley was slightly aroused at the thought and felt horrible for it. <br><br><em>As soon as I leave, you need to run back in, Riley, and don't look back. Do you hear me?</em><br><br>She did not understand why he was asking her this but she listened to his warnings. Anything coming from him at a time where he could bite and take her made her head off. However, Riley did look back to see whether he would appear if she did look back. "Vishous, you may have stolen half of me while Butch might have the other half," she answered, biting her lower lip before she hurried off to see what Rehv needed to talk to her about. Whatever it was, it had to be something not much of importance for he had not sent anyone else to come and warn her of Rehv's impatience. Riley only prayed he would not start in on her having to be courteous and quiet.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Then you better keep your damn hands off of him. You start in on him and you will only push Riley further away from us," he warned knowing he had cleaned up prior messes of her own. It was even one big mistake she made which had him going to see the Queen to keep her from alerting the community of Xhex and his own abilities. Even now their kind were to be imprisoned and even executed for they were the outcase and strange folk of the vampire community. Rehv tried his best not to roll his eyes and he cleared his throat as he heard Riley's tell tale knock before she poked her head in. Time to talk some sense into her.

				<br>He watched her go with a half smile on his face. "What can I say? The ones I don't like trail me like puppies, and the ones I do.. well, why even go there. Feeling better, man?" He studied Rhage again. "Ready to go home?" They would still have a couple of hours, and Phury was teaching the class today with Zsadist so they wouldn't have much to do other than chill. Besides, he wanted to talk to Fritz about shoe-shopping for the ladies. There had to be somewhere to go at night, for one, or he'd have to find out the best place to go from him.&nbsp; "So tell me,&nbsp; I thought all of you bloodsuckers were filthy rich. Was that wrong-thinking?"<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Xhex didn't like to be told what to do. "We'll see. You might screw it up long before I do" she replied, not willing to agree with something that she wasn't sure she could do. There weren't that many prospects in line for her, and sure as hell she wasn't gonna be fucking Rhev any time soon, even if he could get it up.&nbsp; She went to the door and opened to let Riley in, just so as not to have to hear Rehv's comeback on that one. She wasn't interested in hearing it at all.&nbsp; <br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rhev smirked at Xhex's words, but whatever he was going to say he bit it back when Riley appeared at the door. He gestured for her to come in as Xhex left, closing the door behind herself.&nbsp; "Are you going to tell me what's going through your head? I'm not going to be the one to call your parents and tell them that their daughter got lessened on the back of my club, will I?"

				Hollywood wanted to smack Butch upside the head and he did, leaning over to smack Butch on the side of his head. "She likes you and if she did not, she would have turned you down long ago. Not one to make you have to jump through hoops if she just wanted you for your money," he commented nodding towards Sonja who had dollar signs in her eyes even all the way from the bar top. At one point, he remembered the female came onto him but she stated she would never sleep with him unless he promised to pay for her rent. Oh, he knew what she was even before she opened her pretty mouth. Such a shame too but Rhage never played with sugar babies. An eyebrow rose as he heard Butch's latest question. "Yes, we are not all morbidly rich and throwing around money like tissue. Some in the community struggle the glymera needs to fix it," he explained, shaking his head as his once happy mood was sobered by how things were in the community. The rich got richer while the poor, well, you get what Rhage is talking about.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Whatever she felt with Butch and V went out the window to hear Rehv's words. He was not going to pull the parents card on her. She was old enough to have a babe for Scribe's sake and yet he was trying to control her by any means necessary. Closing the door behind her, she leaned against it fearing he might chain her down to the chair if she tried to sit in it to get his point further across. "Right now, I am thinking as to why you care so much about what I do. You could care less about what the others do so long as they bring in money and leave the drama at home but one thing happens and you go off calling my parents like I beat up some boy in middle school," she replied, wondering why he was hard on her and not the others. While it was nice to have him guiding hand it was also getting wearisome as if she had to jump to his level of where he wanted to put her every day she came into work. <br><br>Rubbing her forehead, she glanced around the room and spotted the broken laptop. Something must have happened to make him this angry. "If you are going to head into you warning me off of V and Butch, you are too late. Xhex already did so and I broke them by having lunch with Butch and talking to V to find out more about Butch. I like him Rehv ad he has done nothing wrong to me. I did not expect it but do not try to threaten me by calling on my parents. That is a low blow and you know it," she answered as she came over to place a hand on his desk, wondering the true reason he hated for her to be around them. Had the two merely pissed him off and he wanted revenge?

				&nbsp;<br>Yep. Butch knew exactly what Rhage was talking about. "The Glymera is a joke" Butch replied after a moment of thought. "Just like your chosen. I mean, why are you here paying for some head in the bathroom, when you could be spreading your seed among the most gifted Females of your race?"&nbsp; There, that'd give the blonde something to think about while he chewed on his own bone.&nbsp; Of course not everyone would have what the brotherhood did. There were always bad investments and fortunes lost to the lessers when running. He wondered about Riley's childhood then. Soon enough he'd have time to ask.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rehv smirked at the glance to the laptop, and pushed the thing aside. He also had had the presence to change the camera views in the monitors not to show the employee lounge before Riley came in, so he wasn't worried about that either. Her words, though, made him lean back on his chair.&nbsp; "They are friends" he pointed out. "And I owe them enough to make sure their child is cared for. I am not threatening with calling them, young Female. I am letting you know I don't want to be the one to deliver the news that you are coming to them in a bag.. or worse, in ash form." He stared into her eyes, and even if he was seated and she standing, there was that quality that made it look like he was still staring her down.&nbsp; Those purple eyes were convincing enough. Soothing even. Rehvenge felt the turmoil within Riley and his own hunger was rising quickly, even after the last shot. Maybe he could tap into it, just a little.<br><br>There was a reason why sympaths were outcasts, and Rehvenge knew it too well. Nobody should be subjected to them if they couldn't protect themselves, but Riley had the means to, if not the knowledge necessarily. He had to be very, very careful. "I know you did," he said quietly.&nbsp; "He's a human, though. Do you think he's a pet you can keep by your side, like your dog? He'll die in less than a century if you don't touch him, and if you do, you know he won't last through the first needing. You'll dry him out before you realize you did, and then what?"

				Rhage frowned at Butch not enjoying having his own dirty laundry aired at this time. This conversation was to be about Butch and nothing to do with him. "They are pawns and have no personality about them. I rather fuck those paid females who will groan and want pleasure than a Chosen who simply lays there and does nothing while I pump my seed. I woul feel I was fucking a corpse and my cock is going nowhere near a corpse," he commented, shaking his head on the subject. He looked over to Butch and figured out what the man was looking for. "You wantto know more about this female and even shower her with gifts. While it does sound good, give her something that you would be proud of and not because it will make her eyes sparkle with dollar signs." There, take that Dr. Fucking Phil.<br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Yes, she heard the two were friends and from what she gotten so far, it was not a regular drinks and watch the sports kind of friendship. It seemed it was more than that but V was not giving her anything to go on as well as Butch. Now, Rehv was playing this guessing game with her and it was not funny to her at all. "Do not bring them into this conversation, Rehv. I will talk to them about it but I am sure you have spoken to them already as soon as it happened. I aided and I made it through, I am not out looking to do so again but you need to put some sort of trust into your employee. Unless you somehow think I am to be fired for fraternizing," she mused, looking over to him. Somehow, she felt as if he talked to her more than just a Boss, almost like he tried to be the father she already had and had no need of another. <br><br>Her anger flared to hear him talking about her needing period. As far as she knew, her needing period was in a good two weeks and when it happened, she wondered how it would be for her and whoever she might come across. There was the thought to go to Havers to put her under but she could not risk being out for the count when she needed to be in class and working. Bills did not wait for her or paused if she was sick or under because of her needing period. "I never thought of him as a pet and what right do you have to ask about my needing period? You are not my doctor nor are you by any means my father," she argued, clenching her fists together on the desk and turning away from him.

				<br>"Shower her with gifts? I don't want to treat her as a whore, Rhage. As for your chosen... All it would take would be to really show them how it can be enjoyable. I am sure if they just lay there is because they don't know they can do anything else. " He finished his lag and stared at the large man in front of him.&nbsp; "All the pleasure these whores want from you comes in the bills you stuff down their cleavages, Hollywood." Well, and on fucking Rhage, who had the looks to pull it, but he wasn't going to go there.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>"I am not asking. I am /telling/ you what will happen whenever it comes if you decide to spend it with a human. Believe me, I know, and it is hard enough for a Male of our species to handle it, and we end up more drained than you can imagine. A human would have no chance in hell."&nbsp; He wanted to protect her from that, but she was turning away and he didn't know what would keep her from going.&nbsp; "Listen." He stood up, picking up his cane for balance and starting to walk around the desk.&nbsp; "I may not be your doctor, but that doesn't mean I can't care about you." Anger. Oh yes, virgin in the fade. Anger was good. He drank from it like he might from a vein, trying not to drool when it hit him deep. <br><br>He closed his eyes for a moment, focusing again. "Go home. Rest. Think about it. We can talk about this again tomorrow before your shift, yes?"

				"Good, because she does not seem to be one of those money-grubbing whores or someone who thinks Jimmy Choos are the only shoes to put on her feet. You may have found yourself someone who does not mind your Armani fetish," he commented, not going back to the Chosen again. Those females were too demure for his standards, all of them in fear of not being able to please the Brothers and yet they did nothing to change their minds. All of them were mindless whores sent by the Scribe to try and pop out a few kids. That was not for Rhage and after what the Scribe did to him, he rather not help her out by controlling his kids if he knocked up a Chosen. He may be handsome but he was not stupid.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>What was going on? He was going mad trying to tell her all of this for one reason or another. He was not her doctor and the way he described it to her it was as if he wanted her to choose someone else for her needing period. Maybe even him. An eyebrow rose at the thought and she quickly pushed it away. Rehv did not appeal to her in that matter and besides, there were times she caught him watching her with concerned eyes instead of lustful ones. However, he should be more concerned with trying to get his physical therapy up having noticed him from the beginning of him with cane. It always made her wonder just how he disabled himself and if there were any ways to heal from it. Vampires could heal unless salt was thrown but it made her guess all sorts of things about Rehv. <br><br>"I have my job at the university tomorrow, remember?," she asked, feeling as if she had to check in on him before leaving which only made her anger rise even further. It was her life to live and she wanted to see if maybe she was letting love slip away. Of course, it was ludricous to think that considering the vow she made to herself but Rehv and no one else needed to know about it. "I will see for the next shift I have, Boss, but please, leave the worrying to my parents," she answered, making her way to the door while keeping an eye on him all the while over her shoulder. He may be disabled but the way he moved around, he could easily defend himself or attack someone. Great, another person who was trying to control or at least guide her life in directions she did not want to go.

				<br>Butch looked at Rhage and shook his head. All of the brothers were in complete denial about their current situation, and the blond warrior was no exception. The fact that they all refused the pairings was a dangerous thing, and there weren't that many warriors left, even if you counted the new class coming out. It seemed that only one of those was going to come out as a brother material, and that was dangerous in and of itself. "I suppose you are right. And speaking of Jimmy Choos, I need to get some sleep so that I can go shoe shopping in the daylight. Shall we?" He didn't wait and stood up, leaving enough cash on the table to pay for the drinks before he left.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Rehvenge murmured something unintelligible at the reminder, shaking his head. "That's it, though. I don't want them to have to worry. You understand?" She was a stubborn little minx. Much like her mother. Rehvenge couldn't help a half grin at that thought. Maybe she got some of that stubborn streak from her father too, but he wouldn't say so.&nbsp; "Be careful, Riley" he said then, holding the door for her. He'd have to get that Sehclusion ball rolling sometime soon.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>It was almost daylight when Vishous materialized back to the compound and headed for the pit. If one were to judge by his walk and the expression on his face, he wasn't entirely happy either, so the doggen or three that saw him on the way had the good sense to get out of his path quick. Music started next, louder than usual, and the shower a second later. Whatever went on at his pent house hadn't made him a happy bloodsucker after all.<br><br>

				<br>Rhage was in denial and he knew it but he was not about to keep going towards the subject. No one was going to touch the subject in the household. Butch could continue on going about it but no one really wanted to head down that road. To head down the road would be to have the Scribe Virgin's claws in their lives even more. Already, he had to deal with his punishment and he was not about to be saddled with another one. While the Brotherhood was struggling it would make do without the Chosen for as long as it could. Once it hit the limit, someone would have to make do but for now, it was time to relax and protect the community. "Now, I know you are into Armani but Jimmy Choos? I do not think Jimmy comes in your size, darling," he joked as he walked over Butch to leave the place for the night. Whatever happened with Butch and Riley, Rhage only hoped Butch would find himself a good one. <br><br>+++++++++++++++<br><br>Riley nodded to Rehv all the while knowing he had nothing to worry about. The worrying was on her parents, her mother and father whom she loved dearly. Besides, she was going to have their weekly dinner in three days and from there discuss what had happened. Of course she was going to get a frantic message on her answering machine if Rehv called them to let them know of what happened. If not, she rather not tell them at all and keep them at ease their daughter was doing her best to make her way in Caldwell. Better to keep them in the dark than having the pair worrying she was off fighting crime and putting herself into danger every single night. It was one time thing and nothing like that would happen again. Riley knew better than to risk her life to be considered the tough one. She left that up to Xhex to handle.<br><br>"I will be careful, Rehv, or should I say Pops?," she joked never knowing the truth about how close she was to the truth. Instead, she shook her head in amusement and slipped out of the room, thanking Rehv for opening the door for her. Riley should have been paying more attention but she was too caught up in grabbing her things and her bike to get back to her place. It was an hour before daylight and she had to get home quick unless she wanted Phantom howling up the neighbor's place worrying about her. Quickly, she slipped down into the employee's lounge to grab her bag and the bike where it had been left at the end of the lockers. No one thought to steal from her because who would want to steal a dinky old bike anyhow. Time to get a move on, she thought as she headed out through the second exit to make it home. Home is where the heart was and where sleep would be given.

				<br><br>Vishous shower didn't help his mood a lot, and even as he dried himself he knew too well that he wasn't going to get any sleep without quite a bit of help, and he didn't feel like goosing it up either. Instead, he picked up some loose pants and shirt, stepped into his shitkickers and shut the door to his room behind himself. The last hours before sunrise had been, if anything, eye-opening. It wasn't only the fact of his body rebelling against him, but also the sheer lack of relief in the process. Where once he might have been exhausted after two hours of working a willing female, the edge seemed a lot harder to smooth, and he couldn't foresee it getting any better.&nbsp; <br><br>The female had been satisfied as ever, though. Perhaps even more so than usual, because Vishous had gone further with her than he normally would have allowed himself. Her screams of pain and pleasure still resounded in his ears, and he can still taste the blood in his mouth --blood that hadn't quenched his thirst, flesh that he found himself not hungry for. His thoughts kept going to the young Female. Butch's female.&nbsp; The warrior scratched along the edge of his goatee as he looked around himself and decided to head to the PT room. At least another hour of hitting things should do to tire him some.<br>

				While someone's shower did not help one's mood for Riley it lifted her spirits. It took away the smell of ZeroSum and the sore muscles from havng to move around on her wedges. She let the water wash away her concerns while helping her discover just what she had felt back at ZeroSum. What she knew now was the same as to what she realized before, she enjoyed both Butch and somehow V's company. While Butch had been a great gentleman, almost outdoing her own father in making sure his family was kept well and ate as much as one could, Butch had been sweet and attentive in a loving way. With V, on the other hand, he had been domineering and almost cruel to be kind to her. Not to say Butch could not be that but V let it all hang out without really giving a fuck about it but she assumed he did care about what people thought about him.<br><br>Stepping out of the shower, she found Phantom as always waiting by the closed door of the bathroom. He was not allowed into the bathroom for he had a tendency to try and lift the toilet seat and drink from the bowl. Last time she found him, he had almost drown by trying to fall into the toilet to get to the clean water. After that, she kept the bathroom door shut at all time and trained him not to come inside while she was showering unless he wanted to end up beneath a pile of dirty clothes. "No more toilets, go it?," she asked the puggle as she scooped him up a few minutes after she slipped into her nightgown. While it was time to sleep, she woandered if Butch would come by or he had gotten her address from Sonja. On that, note she even pondered that she had not asked for his cell phone number in case she had to cancel or called away for a shift. "I hope he does come by," she whispered beneath her breath as she grabbed her remote and turned on to see what was on the television. Anything to get her mind off of Butch...and V.

				Sometimes when Vishous was on that mood, the best one could do was to get out of the way. That is just what the brotherhood did, Butch included. He heard the warrior leave the pit and while he'd normally ask and try to cheer his friend up, Butch had a feeling that whatever it was, talking to him might just make it worse. He let it be for now, knowing that when and if it should become important, Vishous would come to him to talk about it; at least he hoped so. Instead, the ex-cop found Fritz and&nbsp; got directions to a few places that had what he wanted. <br><br>As he drove from the store to the address Sonja had given him, Butch didn't quite enjoy the feel of the sun in his face. It'd been a while since he'd been out during the day, and it seemed he was getting used to the absence of sunlight --actually, he found the glare rather annoying at this point, so he sped up to find the building.&nbsp; After careful parking, he observed the surroundings, checking out what the building looked like and just how secure it was. He wasn't too happy with his findings either. Any lesser could easily make his way inside if they knew what they were looking for. <br><br>He carried the bags inside and through the hallways to the recessed door, and ran the bell. Givenchy, Louboutin, but mostly Prada. He had liked Prada the best because they were the sturdiest of them all, particularly the wooden platforms that looked like they could crush anything you kicked with them. After he pushed the button he thought that, maybe, he had exagerated in the number --but he couldn't help it, there were far too many pairs that he'd like to see on Riley's feet. He hadn't bought the store, after all. He was sure he'd left one or two pairs behind, anyway.

				On this morning, Riley felt better than she had the other night. While most nights, she ended up with insomnia this time, she managed to sleep a few hours to make up for the last few days. Riley was worried. Worried about bills, worried about making ends meet, worried about making her life better. Now, she added another thing to worry about and it was her love life. Never did she worry this much about how things with anyone could head towards because once the men or women found out she was not willing to sleep with them, the person usually left her alone. Now, with Butch she was afraid she might scare him away once he heard she made a vow to keep herself pure until Riley found a suitable mate to settle down with. Right now, she was settled in bed, keeping her problems at bay with soothing dreams.<br><br>Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.<br><br>It took her a few seconds to realize someone was buzzing her door. The only other person who would come by was not going to buzz her door but give her a phone call. Wiping at her eyes, she slipped out of bed and shrugged into her fluffy pink robe. What she wore to bed usually consisted of boy shorts, tank top and nothing else. When she meant nothing else, she meant she did not believe in pants though in a few minutes Riley would rethink her bed attire. Yawning and scratching the side of her head, she whitled for Phantom to keep himself in his fluffy bed by the side of her bed. He enjoyed to see who was the door but sensing it was still daylight, she did not want to risk him running out into the building and getting himself into trouble. <br><br>"Yes?," she asked as she looked through the apartment peephole made to see who was at the door and if she should open it. At the moment she wanted to sink down into the carpet. This was not good. Butch was at the door with what seemed bags full of gifts. Gifts. For her? That was nice of him but she looked horrible. While she wanted to pretend that no one was here or even keep him waiting, she knew her manners. Taking a deep breath and praying to the Scribe Virgin for strength, she unlocked the bolts and opened the door with an embarassed smile. She hoped he would overlook her attire because he looked dapper in his clothing. "Sorry, come on in, I must have hit the sack hard," she answered, opening the door wider to let him in and offered to take the bags from his hands.

				Phantom stirred and stretched, barking to join the fun at the door and usher his mistress away. As far as he knew, the sound always meant new shoes to smell and new legs to chase; this was always something to look forward to! He started to pounce on his little legs, pawing the ground in a quickstart race to the door when he heard the whistling and lifted and ear, tilting his head to the side in a total 'oh, poo' expression. Nevertheless he turned around and went back to his bed, keeping an eye on Riley and his tail between his legs, even if he still couldn't help it from wagging from there. <br><br>Waiting felt like forever. Butch went through hell and back in those few minutes, wondering if he had the wrong address, or if maybe Riley wasn't home and had been detained at the club, or the lessers had followed or... there she was. His face broke into a joyful smile when he saw her face. Butch had to give her props. Even right out of bed, she was delightful, the kind of cute that didn't even realize how cute it was. "Good morning" he said,&nbsp; staying at the threshold until she invited him in. He ran his eyes over her again, starting down on her feet and up her pink robe --so feminine-- all the way to her neck and lips. He wanted to kiss her there, and lift her in his arms and taken back to a bed she should have never left because of him. <br><br>Instead, he&nbsp; set the bags aside and closed the door, making sure no hint of sunlight had the chance to make it through after himself. He noticed the security system and approved of it. Someone had set her up right, at least. "Did I wake you up? I should have come in later. Look, I can wait in the car until sunset, if you want me to." Or if you want, I could just take you in my arms and make love to you until you can't think of anything but my name. Shit, he was so into her. He needed to be more careful in case this was all a one-sided thing again.

				"Would you like something to drink? Water? Juice? Water?," she lightly joked even though she knew there was bottles of water and a jar of orange juice in her fridge. She had not really stocked up on food having to scrimp a bit here and there to get her by. In the fridge if Butch went over to see it he would have seen three bottles of water, a jar of orange juice, half a carton of eggs, an almost empty bag of ham, a banana and a empty carton of milk. In her cupboards she did have a bit more consisting of a two boxes of cereal, canned food, box of crackers, cookies, Phanton's bag of Beneful dog food and a bag of hershey's kisses. Not much to live on but it sustained Phantom and her for the most part. Even now she remembered there was food shopping to be done considering she kept the tips she made and had realized her money was in the back pocket of her mini skirt. Riley made out with a good seven hundred dollars in tips, most of it came from Butch's tips when he came over to the bar and chatted with her. Four hundred out of the seven hundred were going towards her rent, two hundred to cover the cost of her bills, fifty for groceries and fifty to tide her over until her next shift in two days. Not bad considering she usually made two hundred dollars in tips and in a few more days Rehv would cut her a check for her hours which she appreciated above all else. Yes, there was really no room to spend friviously but she made it through nonetheless with the other things she had in her apartment.<br><br>Well, her apartment had a living room with a couch, bean bag which Phantom usually sat in, her television set, scratched up coffee table and a small rug for Phantom to lay on when he wanted out of the bean bag. There was no dining table for she ate her food in the living room to sat on the countertop of her small kitchen. It was an open kitchen with a sink, a few cupboards, and her humming fridge in the corner of the kitchen. "It is fine, Butch, it was the most sleep I had in a while and I do not want you waiting outside like I am too important to be bothered," she answered, smiling over to him as she settled herself on her couch. She knew it was not much but it was her home and place she could come back where she could leave behind her problems for a moment or two. Now it seemed one of the people she thought before going to bed was here in her apartment, in her space. It made her a bit nervous wondering how he might think about her settings but then her eyes caught glance of the large shopping bags. How many did he bring? Were they really all for her? If thought about it, it looked as if he might have cleaned out a whole store in a few short hours.<br><br>"How many bags did you bring?," she asked as she heard the pitter patter of Phantom. Bad boy, she thought knowing he was going to get curious about the newcomer and try his best to outdo whatever Butch could do in her apartment. If Butch was polite, Phantom would try and be playful to make it seem as if Butch was boring while Phantom was the best thing since buttered toast. Another whistle came Phantom's way as she pointed towards his bean bag to settle himself in. She was going to make sure Phantom was on his best behavior while Butch was here. Not a good impression to make if Phantom started to bounce all over the room and knock things over but the little guy coul not help himself at times. Sometimes, Phantom merely wanted to impress everyone and make them like him so as not to throw him out into the street or punish him with a swap on his behind. Riley never threw him out but there were times she gave him a light tap whenever he got into the trash can or the toilet. Chewing on her lower lip, she hoped Butch would enjoy his time here not knowing what else to say to him without it coming off as thinking it was some sort of date. She did however come prepared with the small DVD collection she had on hand in case he wanted to watch a few movies with her or even shoot the breeze.

				"I'm fine, thank you." Butch set the bags down by the couch as he walked in, looking around appreciatively. Well, at least it was a lot cleaner than his old crib.&nbsp; He followed her onto the couch and reached for her hand as she spoke, listening attentively. The way she talked, she didn't keep a lot of food at home, but then he hadn't either when he'd been by himself. Upon seating himself, he focused on her neck to see the results from the last evening's fight and distracting himself y the question she asked a moment later. He looked at the bags. "I'm not sure" he admitted then, grinning. "I thought to see which one you liked best, and I approved of all these." He looked again. "Six, maybe? Just in case you blood one pair too soon, then you can have another. We can see which ones fit you best, and are more comfortable."<br><br>He noticed the dvds in her hand and grinned a little, trying to figure out the titles from upside down. Butch suddenly imagined himself watching a movie with Riley right here, his arm around her shoulders and pulling her close around his chest. He found himself liking the idea, particularly when it came to the feeling her against him part. Maybe he should have brought popcorn. He would next time. Of course, another whistle distracted him from these thoughts and there came the quick pattering of doggie steps around the couch. "Hey, buddy." There, totally distracted. "Look at you." Butch reached over to offer his hand to the new arrival who, even if headed to the beanie bag to start with, didn't make it there when he had a much better offer to take. "Phantom fits you." He scratched the pup behind his ears, and if this meant that he was leaning over Riley's legs for a moment... well, yeah, why lie? He definitely noticed. <br><br>"How long have you had him?"<br><br>

				It did not seem as if he was going to be running out after seeing the state of her apartment. She smiled when he took her hand, feeling the same sparks flying beneath her skin. It felt nice to have someone hold her hand in this manner and he listened as if he wanted to know exactly what she said word for word. Almost made her blush in embarassment but she quickly stamped it down. This was no time to be gawking and stumbling over herself. Consciously, she placed a hand on her throat where there were only faded handmarks where the lesser tried to do a wrestling choke hold on her. She really wished she had cracked the lesser's head with a pot or even a stiletto if she ever thought about buying one. <br><br>"Six? Wow, that is too much, Butch, you did not have to do so but thank you, I appreciate it a lot," she commented, squeezing the hand he held with her first hand with her other hand. He was too sweet. He really was and there had to be something wrong because no good human male like him was secret free. It made her wonder even more if V and him could possibly be in some sort of torrid romance or even wanted one another but used other females to try and hide the truth. Riley knew it was wrong to think that but after all of this, she hoped maybe there was something on his side. Sure, he bought her shoes but a friend could do the same as well. Only Phantom seemed to help her out by enticing Butch to move closer to her and thus make her pulse beat a bit faster in her veins. <br><br>Phantom wagged his tail and tried to jump onto the couch knowing he was told not to jump on things unless he was allowed up. "I have had him for a few months now, bought him from someone who was selling the litter. He likes to show off," she answered as she reached out to push his bottom up onto the couch with Butch and her. Phantom went straight for Butch's chest, trying to sniff and see exactly who this new person was and if he was invading her territory. Riley smiled to see Phantom heading off because it showed he was also interested in finding a daddy for the mother he had in Riley.

				<br>Sometimes Butch wished he had Vishous ability to hear peoples' thoughts. At least he did now, given the particular look in Riley's face. He wondered what she was thinking about for a moment, and then let it go to focus on petting Phantom behind the ears. This pup was clearly a handful, but he found it cute too. It took after its owner of course.&nbsp; He leaned back and let Phantom smell -there, maybe the aftershave hadn't been that much of a waste after all, and laughed when his nose tickled him a little. "Well, you'ya doing, little guy?" His smile was wide as he finally let go of Riley's hand to focus both of his on the greeting. Then he tugged on his paw and his ear, playing just a little rougher. <br><br>"It's the least I could do" he said while doing this. Of course, when he turned his head to look at her again he realized just how close he was. He started to move away, but then he realized she wasn't saying anything about it so he stayed. "We all like to show off." Was his voice just a little hoarser than before? Suddenly he was looking at her mouth, and there was nothing else in the world.&nbsp; He parted his lips to say something but closed them again, the concentration in his face turning into something of a smile. He gestured to the dvds with his hand then, "Did you want to watch a movie? It's a little early for first meal, but I could run out to bring something hot if you would like that."

				Oh, he was too much. There had to be something wrong with him. No sweet Irish guy like him went out to get someone something to eat. Did he have a bad relationship? A crazy ex-girlfriend? Was he still with someone but playing the field? A slew of things entered into her head as she let her eyes flicker over his face. He was a sweet guy and a human too. Rehv's words came back to bite her in the ass. Her needing period was in a few days and she had to be careful on the day it hit. Once it hit, she would be in absolute pain because a female vampire's time of fertility, generally lasted for two days and accompanied by intense sexual cravings. From what she heard, the cravings to be impregnated could make her spasm out in pain because her scent given off to try and find a suitable mate thus her body calling out for be taken. It sounded like a painful process and Rehv was right that if she even thought about Butch to take her like that, once her needing period hit, she could kill him. Dear Scribe Virgin, here she was thinking of taking Butch in that manner and all he was asking her was about whether or not she wanted something to eat and being friendly to her.<br><br>Riley should smack herself upside the head for thinking of such things at a time like this. The two were here to get to know one another and already she was imagining him taking her in her bedroom. A quick glance towards her bedroom, made her blush to fantasize the scenario and she quickly turned back towards Butch. "No, I am fine, the food I ate with you is still trying to digest in my stomach," she whispered knowing it was a lie but not wanting to put him out of his way. Already, he brought along gifts for her which was a beautiful gesture to say the least. Riley's eyes watched Phantom as the little guy continued to sniff and even sneeze at Butch's cologne. Her own nose tickled of the scent of Butch but she liked it. The scent suited him, it was outdoorsy with a bit of raw possession to it. "I think the only one who is showing off is Phantom," she teased, having felt as well the tension between them. Hell, she bet her blind as a bat next door neighbor could sense the tension between them. What would happen if she reached out and touched his cheek. Would he brush her hand away? Somehow, Riley must have had a lot of gumption because she did reach out to touch his skin. Dear Scibe Virgin have mercy on her foolish nature.

				"You are lying." Butch said so with a grin. Well, he was a walking lie detector after all; he always had been able to spot bullshit, which had been a good part of his success as a police detective.&nbsp; He missed that part, somewhat, but he was getting used to this life now, and there was no going back. "But I am flattered to know you would rather I stayed." In fact, he loved her answer, because he wanted to believe she didn't want him to go away. Of course, it might also mean that she just was shy, or she didn't want him to feed her again, but those were things he didn't want to know or think about, so he just blocked them. In spite of everything, Butch was an eternal optimist.&nbsp; Her naming of the dog brought his attention back to the fluff ball against him, and he pulled the little thing up as he straightened back into a sitting position. That tail wagged like it was nobody's business, and he could see it tap-tap-tapping against Riley a second later. Now wouldn't he like to be the one doing just th... Anyway, that kind of thoughts had no business right here, and -Hey what was that on his cheek?<br><br>He didn't believe it when it happened. He didn't believe it a second later, even as he turned his head to rub against the female's hand much like Phantom was rubbing against his own. "Down, buddy," he chuckled, but the sound was hoarse and more than a little hungry. If anything, it succeeded in pulling the dog's paws down from his chest so that he could turn to look at Riley's eyes, to make sure this was really happening. That, and then he let Phantom go. Butch moved quickly. He didn't want her to have time to think, or himself for that matter. Instead, he reached up to her face with his hands and held it right there while he brought his hand to hers. It was a good kiss in his book, nothing too strong, but just enough so to show he was ready for anything. All coiled power waiting under his skin for the first sign of her wanting -just- an inch more than what he was giving her.

				Riley expected him to pull away. Waited for him to change subjects. Anticipated for him to reject her and let her know he was being friendly to her and nothing more. Felt he might get up and leave and what did he do? He nuzzled her hand just like Phantom. No. Not like Phantom because she would not be looking at Butch the same way she looked at her dog and it was hunger in her eyes. Riley was hungry for Butch in a bad way and it only made her wonder if he felt the same way about her. Did he feel these feelings inside of himself to want her just as much as she wanted him? This had nothing to do with Rehv telling her to stay away from him or Xhex telling her these guys were bad news. Hell, even V's comments about her maybe even knowing what kind of female he wanted as he blocked her in the alley way did not faze her from touching Butch. She wanted Butch, no, needed to see if maybe, just, maybe he wanted her as well.<br><br>It only took a few seconds but she sighed in relief as he placed his own hand on her face. Her skin heated beneath his touch, her eyes narrowing in on the one thing which had managed to make her heart flutter like a butterfly in her rib cage, her breath hitch as if she ran a 40k marathon and her skin burning in the need to have him warm her even further. When he kissed her, her breath stilled as she inhaled every inch of his scent. She could feel her fangs punching through the roof of her mouth and knew she was going to taste his blood. Riley had not gone to her artist friend to get the blood donation and right now she was yearning to sink her fangs into Butch's thick and corded neck. What would Butch say if she asked him if she could taste his blood? Against his lips, she whispered something she would never regret saying, "I want to taste you." There, Riley managed to open up a Pandora's box of unnecessary complications but if she ever looked back on this, never could she saw she hated this moment. Never.

				Butch was in heaven with his lips on Riley's, and he knew it. He tasted her lips and started to push further when she pulled back to speak. He re-opened his eyes to look into hers at that moment, knowing he had never wanted anything in his life more than he wanted her now. It was a strange, unsettling thought and he couldn't help but liking it, so he didn't quite let her go right away. He held the kiss for a little longer, taking a long draught the way a thirsty man would. When he finally let her speak his whole attention was in it, ready and waiting. He just wasn't expecting to hear what he did. Five simple words, and the ex-cop was hard as a rock.<br><br>Literally.<br><br>Stiff from head to toe, and he couldn't take his eyes away from her.&nbsp; If she had been someone else, he wouldn't have doubted. With the women he had known before, an offer to taste him could only mean one thing --but Riley was a vampire, and he could see where her eyes were going. Fuck. The very idea of her biting him was the most erotic thing in the world, way past anything he'd ever felt before. Suddenly he was burning, and it had nothing to do with the room temperature.&nbsp; "Only if I can taste you back" he replied after a moment of heavy, this-is-not-happening silence. That settled it, though. He was definitely some kind of pervert, and he had only found out now. A fang-fetishist? There had to be some of those, somewhere. The gesture that followed was simple: Butch tilted his head to the side to bare the side of his neck and throat for her in a silent invitation.

				Once more, she had to be crazy to ask this of Butch. Easily, Riley could go to her artist friend for a shot of the good A negative blood to try and get her through the day. Human blood would keep her alive though the strength does not last long for she had to drink every other day to keep her energy levels up which was why she drank heavily from her artist friend and wiped his memories clean afterwards. Now, she would feed from Butch and somehow she felt his blood would be more stronger than any other human she fed from and it made her fangs ache even harder in her mouth. He would taste delicious beneath her mouth as she took his blood's essence from him. Her fingers itched to wrap around his neck and hold onto him as he offered himself up but she waited to hear his response. Butch could turn her down, tell her it was not right or that he did not give away his blood to someone he barely knew. Anything to reject her for asking such a thing from him.<br><br><em>Only if I can taste you back</em><br><br>Her skin heated like a furnace was turned on beneath the layers of epidermis. Eyes dilated, her fingers twitched, her breasts heaved and a sensation started between the apex of her thighs. Riley wanted Butch like no other and even if she barely knew him for two days, she felt he had something to give her and vice versa. Whatever it was, there was nothing to hold her back from doing this, none at all. Rehv and Xhex might be against it, V could threaten her not to play games but none of these people knew what was in her heart. Somehow her own fucking heart was tripping over itself and rushing to jump out of her chest. It must have affected the rest of her body because with unsteady hands she placed one on his shoulder and another on the other side of his neck to cushion him. "Yes, anything you ask of me," she said on a whisper as she leaned and nuzzled his neck. Dear Scribe, she was nuzzling his neck as if he was hers to have and to do with in any way, shape or form. In a thoughtful gesture, she kissed his neck in reverence of the blood he was going to give to her. Not wanting to question his and her own motives for his, with a hiss she sank her teeth into his neck, breaking through the skin and plunging deep to get to his blood. He was hers. She was his. No question about it.

				<br>Butch waited with his heart up in his throat,&nbsp; his blood racing with its quickened heartbeat.&nbsp; He had never let go of Riley's head, so he would know it the second she moved. He would know it. He would... it was as if time had frozen right there and he knew without a shadow of a doubt that whichever way she went would seal their fate. This wasn't a rushed exchange of fluids in the back of a bathroom. It wasn't the fleeting satisfaction of a mindless, anonymous fuck. It was so much more. And he knew he was crazy. Offering his blood like that, to a vampire, was the stuff of a bad b-movie, and without the gratuitious nudity. She could kill him. In a way, it was a proof of trust; somewhere, somehow, the cop knew she wouldn't. <br><br>Then her hands moved, and he found his breath caught in the depth of his chest.<br><br>The hand against his neck received just a little more pressure when Butch turned his head into it and back, baring the throbbing length of his throat. Truly, it felt as if his blood just wanted to rush towards her, the way he could feel it thrum all of a sudden. He slid his hands down Riley's own neck, slowly caressing her own throat and down to her shoulders and sides, barely brushing the side of her breasts in a show of respect that was as out of place as it was clearly a part of Butch himself. He helped steady her on her approach, and remembered to breath when she spoke again. He was past speech then, but the grunt that vibrated along his chest and throat said enough of what he thought about that offer. He wasn't going to forget it. The sound was deep, primal and masculine, and so were the hands that rose again up Riley's back to the back of her neck where they slowed, slowly threading fingers up the base of her scalp through the nuzzling and kiss.<br><br>Just like that, and in a split second, the world turned fully upside down.&nbsp; Pain shot through his neck, searing and opening him to her even as the sweet, thick strength of his blood sprung from him like a fountain to fill Riley's mouth. To feed her, fill her, make her his own. Butch's senses were suddenly heightened, and the pain was nothing but a dull throb of energy flowing from him and into his female. His fingers clenched against her head, holding her in place as if to say he wanted her there for ever. He did. He would kill anyone who hurt her, over and over again, she only had to say the word and...&nbsp; She smelled delicious. Like dark spices, he wondered what her blood would taste like. Would it do to him what Vishous' had? He had to make a conscious effort to prevent his hips from thrusting. Fuck. He was totally, utterly fucked, wasn't he?&nbsp; Did Females have a bond scent too? He'd never asked, but it looked like they did. Of course, Butch would never imagine it wasn't coming from her.

				At the first taste of his blood on her tongue, Riley's eyes would have rolled back into her head and stared at the back of her own if that was a possibility for Butch's blood was the fountain of youth. No, not the fountain of youth but the eternal cup for she drank from his neck a blood that was strong, heady, thick and spicy. He was like the best piece of chocolate, the kind which melted on her tongue the second it touched her lips. If people were to bottle Butch's blood, everyone would seek out their oblivion in his blood. Even now, she took thick pulls from his neck, mewling like the cat which received its warm bowl of milk only that this kitten undulated her hips in the various sensations overtaking her body. This was not what she felt when she sipped from her friend's wrist, not at all. Butch was giving her more than she thought a human could give to her. Made her want to take from only his vein and she could practically see herself making more and more dates if it ended up in this manner. Butch on her couch as she took his vein, on the floor, even on her bed. Just thinking about Butch in her bed made her heart pick up speed and a moan to slip past her lips which at the moment was secured to Butch's neck. <br><br>As she closed her eyes to better concentrate on these various feelings, an image shot straight into her front lobe. Somehow her drinking of Butch prompted this vision and it made her quake against Butch to decipher what it was in her mind's eye. The watery scene was of Butch and her in a red canopy bed, silk sheets covering their bodies, a wind blowing against the net to keep out the bugs but clearly with her eyes she saw Butch rising above her other form. This Butch threw his head back and roared to the ceiling as he thrust his hips into her and she screamed in pleasure, her back practically breaking in half as she arched into his motions. All around her there were mirrors surrounding the watery image, each mirror reflecting what was going on in the bed, Butch's mouth opening and to her surprise seeing fangs punching out from the root of her mouth. <em>You are mine</em> this Butch stated before he sank his fangs into the second Riley and sunk his cock even deeper inside of her. Somehow, Riley felt this was not a dream but a foretelling of what was to come between Butch and herself. Butch would take her and she started off the set events by having gone from leaning on the side of his legs to straddling his lap to get a better taste of him. <br><br>She felt him. <br><br>Not only did she feel the rock hard cock kept prisoner in his pants and beneath her bottom but she felt something else. Somehow, someway, Riley could feel Butch inside of her. Inside of her mind, Riley felt his need for her. The need to possess. The need to treasure. The need for her. The need to which she would give to him for he had given her something no other person had willingly gave and it was their blood and something tangible. Riley knew not what to label the other thing but it was real, it was strong and it was powerful. Even now she could smell the scent of his need for her, dark spices if she could recall the smell. Wait. Dark Spices. Familiar scent. No, this had to be his cologne at work for only a male vampire could give off this dark spice scent unless it came from a bottle which she guessed Butch splashed on. This time of scent came from a vampire male about to bond to someone, the same smell she remembered Vishous giving off. Regretably, she removed her lips from Butch's neck but not before flicking her tongue over the wounds to seal them off. Even through the drink, she was famished but not for blood for her lips were stained with Butch's thick and delicious blood. No. Riley was hungry for Butch in so many other ways. "Kiss me," she whispered as she turned her head to kiss him, her hips coming down to grind into his lap. The cards of fate were being laid down before these two individuals, a fate with which the Scribe Virgin would do everything in her power to push through on completing.

				As the feeding continued, it was more and more obvious that it was affecting Butch in all kinds of ways. There was a masculine aura around him, the kind of which scent is only a part of.&nbsp; Sensations, subtle clues that went well beyond the five normal senses and that the dark-haired beauty would find arouse her other, more dangerous side. Pressed against him, she could feel the muscles, smoothly shifting as he drew in a breath and started caressing her neck more deliberately, with his thumb rubbing its side all the way to the underside of her jaw, feeling and soothing her through the swallowing motions. She was swallowing him, and he couldn't think of anything nearly as erotic --in fact, if she kept this for much longer he wouldn't have to worry about holding back, he was just going to mess up his trunks like a teenager on his first make-out date, and not think twice about it --that mewling of hers was /that/ sexy.<br><br>He felt her tense for some odd reason and held her right there, not wanting her to stop. Just one more draught, one more swallow, one more pull. God, he might die right now and not regret it at all. "Don't stop" he murmured, his voice raw and hoarse with lust, with a thirst of his own that he couldn't quite sate without her giving him more than she had taken. That's when he felt her tongue and shook with the knowledge that it was over. His mouth was dry as sandpaper, so speaking again was out of the question, and he watched her rise her head to meet his eyes. Yes, they were hungry and possessive at the same time, drilling into the depth's of Riley's own, searching for her&nbsp; reaction. Had she liked his blood? It wasn't what she needed and he was aware of it. Hell, she was probably used to something a lot more filling if Rhage was wrong in his assertion.&nbsp; <br><br>"Kiss me," she said, and suddenly his mouth was not dry anymore, watering at full geir at the mere thought. He could see her fangs still lift her upper lip a little. Was that one of their tips. God. She was beautiful, and he could see the crimson of his blood staining her lips, which were all of a sudden so very red. <br><br>Butch snarled. <br><br>His large hands shifted on Riley's neck to tilt her head as he surged upwards both with his lips and hips at the same time, grinding against her core with a strength that might have scared a human woman shitless, but let her feel everything through the thin fabric of pants and underwear.&nbsp; He wasn't looking down, but he could feel how there was so very -little- in between the two, even as her fluffy robe had parted enough for her to straddle him. Right. Kiss her. That's what she was asking for, and that's exactly what Riley got. Against that rich metallic taste in her mouth, his own had a hint of bitterness and sweet. Butch had to pack on the coffee to get over how much he drank during the night. Soon the tastes combined, deep kissing from the start as he explored her mouth again, toying with trapping her tongue under his, caressing her teeth and reaching for her fangs. There was one deep thrust of his tongue then, even as he slid one hand down from her neck to the small of her back and used that strength to hold her down --he was mirroring the same motions underneath, sliding back and forth against her weight.<br>

				Riley felt like a rabid beast, needing to divest him of his clothes before she tore them off with her hands. If she tried ripping them off, she feared she might leave him without any clothes to put back on when this ended, whatever this was; whatever it was, she was not about to end it anytime soon. He had to know what she was going through right now. How could a male not be able to smell the revealing scent of arousal she was giving off around her? Her nipples beaded into two sharp points, pushing and trying to drill god damn holes through her shirt aching to be taken into his mouth or at least by his strong and calloused hands. Yea, Scribe, his hands were roaming all over her, branding her skin with his touch. <em>Take more, take all of me, completely </em>.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Yes, go on. Take her Butch for she wanted this more than she thought she would. Rehv and Xhex could eat their motherfucking hearts because this female wanted Butch. No, not wanted, but yearned and needed him to take her. For some reason, this female had fallen hard for Butch in a span of less than forty-eight hours and now he was there at the gates to enter into the heaven to which her thighs were the pearly gates. Go on, take her and mark her. The Scribe Virgin smiled from above though she knew how this would take its toll on V. Waving a hand over the glass bowl brought to her, she looked to see into the mansion and take a gathering of what was going on with her son, Vishous.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>“Butch,” she gasped into the kiss as she felt the surge of his hips against her covered core. Sweet Scribe Virgin of the Fade she was wanton for this man, her inner thighs aching to feel his own thighs between them. Her nails started to drag down his back, hearing the tell tale rip of her nails cutting into the material of his shirt. There went his shirt but it brought her one step closer to undressing him. Butch could easily rip off her robe, tear off her shirt and pull aside her panties before he…Mia shivered at the thought to have him take her in that delicious manner. All of these naughty and salacious things she thought about as his tongue continued to thrust and she had to parry to keep him from slicing his tongue on her fang but it felt as if he wanted to touch it, almost aroused by it. Just imagining him wanting to tongue her fang brought another wave of the good shivers and her nails digging into his shoulders.<br><br>Dear Scribe she felt the heat of his cock against the thin layer of her shorts, knowing there was nothing to stop him from taking her, from taking what he wanted and urging her to the highest pleasurable peaks. It was his to have and Riley would do nothing but help him achieve his goal to mark her as his.<br><br>His alone. No one else. <br><br>For some reason when she thought of that, her chest ached as if saying those words in her head was blasphemous. It was not wrong for her to say that, for he was going to accept a part of her she had not given to anyone else. However, Riley worried about her experience with bedroom play but as she rolled her hips into his erection, she found that what was needed could come naturally to her. Even now she returned his kisses with as much hunger as he had when he snarled and took her by the neck. Still, with his kisses, he was just as aggressive as he was in his attempts to find out more information at her at the bar. Scribe of my heart, who would have known she end up with Butch beneath her lap as she continued to grind her bottom into his ever-loving cock? Not her but she was enjoying the feeling as she spread her legs wider to settle his erection between her thighs. Just the thought of his hard on inside of her thrilled and frightened her.&nbsp;

				Even as she struggled to say his name, Butch chose to continue the kiss instead, letting the fire rage without control or restraint, enjoying her passion as much as his own. His hands started changing though. From the caress and guidance where everything started, he began coaxing her out, teasing her into further brazenness. When her body responded to his grinding with its own, he moved on to greener pastures, sliding his touch down her hip and around the robes until it found the bare skin of her thigh. From there he stroke back in the same direction it came from, only this time it was under the fluffy fabric and directly upon her skin. It followed the curve of her buttock over the shorts, cupping it and stroking down her leg again to curl around it and lifting it so that her weight would fall hard and square upon his erection.&nbsp; She could feel now the taut, firm strength of his shape there down to the ridged flare near the tip.<br><br>His other hand caressed still the nape of her neck and jaw, but it moved back around the back of her head a moment later to thrust its fingers into her hair, pushing her head back to continue the kiss for a heartbeat or two longer before finally letting it go. The hand slid down then, along the opening of her robe and to its waist, where he pulled it open enough to reveal her body underneath. "So beautiful" he murmured, filled with longing all of a sudden. As a first date, this was moving far too quickly, but Butch was finding it very, very hard to stop himself when he held Riley in his arms.&nbsp; The same hand that opened her robe reached for the closest swell of flesh, closing hard, appreciatively around the fullness of her breast, kneading it firmly for the first time. <br><br>His back shot up to the sensation of Riley's nails then, eyes opening wide with a mixture of fear and arousal that only made things so much worse --or better, depending on perspective, right? He shrugged off his shirt then, releasing the female long enough to toss coat and torn shirt aside, revealing his torso fully to her. There were a few scars, but he didn't draw attention to them and instead focused his all upon her. "It is my turn to taste you, isn't it?"&nbsp; Perhaps it was the way he said it, or the way he started lifting her up and over so that he could lower himself to where he wanted to be.&nbsp; He was dying to drink from her like she had from him, her pleasure and her delight. He wanted to make her scream for him and cry his name again and again. Screw V, she wanted /him/.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>The liquid took shape and colors in front of the scribe Virgin's face, with Vishous in the first plane. He was still in bed after a longer-than-usual day, with only the lit corner of his smoke giving any indication of his being awake.&nbsp; He looked up, almost as if he was staring directly up to her, and the pain she saw in his gaze could have been enough to break her heart if he hadn't broken it twice already.&nbsp; He took another drag of his cig and sighed, rubbing his chest slowly. Something he'd eaten wasn't settling well, or&nbsp; maybe it was just too much goose.&nbsp; He'd also woke up with a monumental hard-on, though he couldn't for the sake of anything remember what he had been dreaming before.&nbsp; It certainly wasn't the Xhex's lookalike --for some reason she just didn't do it for him this time.&nbsp; He pictured Riley instead. And Butch.&nbsp; He pictured Butch rolling between Riley's thighs, careful and loving the way V didn't know how to be. He pictured Riley's face, her expression, her want. He knew exactly where Butch was right now, and he was so very fucking jealous.<br><br>That didn't prevent him from reaching down with his gloved hand and starting a slow, purposeful stroke, though.<br>

				If she was not a vampire, Riley guessed Butch would have taken her breath away. No, literally, he was close to depriving her of oxygen with the brazen and possessive way he took her lips. It warmed her body to know he was bold and take charge though she wanted to show she was active in this exchange as well. Riley was a conscious give and at this moment, she mewled and wiggled her hips even harder to inform Butch to continue while she unrelented in her need to touch him in every place. She touched his shoulders, neck, and the place where she bit him, shoulders, hips, and chest, anywhere and everywhere she could get her hands on as he explored her own body. Butch would see how aroused she became by this encounter, her skin goose bumping as he slid his hands against the bare skin of her thigh. Hell, she practically jumped up and then down onto his hard cock (which by the way aroused her even further to feel how thick and big he was becoming just for her) for it was the first time she let someone she wanted stroke over her inner thighs. Admittedly, someone else had tried to lay a hand on her in college but it was never the same with the other individual. She stopped the other before he went too far and sent him off with a massive hard on. At the moment, there was no way in fucking hell, Riley was going to send Butch away in this condition.<br><br>Nope, Riley wanted this even as she continued to feel the ache in her heart. Riley could not pinpoint why she felt like this even as she arched and moaned to feel Butch’s calloused and rough hands on her ass as he finally let up on the kiss. Her lips tingled and felt well used as blushed to hear his words. He called her beautiful. It meant more than long speeches because he said it without trying to impress her. There was no need to impress her for she was practically falling half way for him and it scared and excited her in the same breath. Now her breath left her in a rush as she yelled out, “Ah, yes,” at the contact of his hand on her breast. Her nipple beaded even tighter in an attempt to lure Butch to flick and take the nipple either between his teeth or hand. Riley rather he took her with his mouth as she thanked the Dear Scribe aloud for this male. Whatever Butch’s history was with V, for now it did not matter because he was pleasing her and no one else. <br><br>Released for a few quick seconds as he rid himself of the coat and shirt, Riley gorged herself on his physique. She frowned as she fingered a scar on his chest wondering if he received that in a fight at some point before she met him. There was concern in her being but her need and lust for Butch overrode it the minute he walked into ZeroSum. It brewed throughout the night in the club and now was finally starting to boil over. Her breath caught itself a second time in her throat to hear him ask the vital question. She tried to remember exactly what she promised him and wondered what type of taste he wanted from her. It had too much meaning in it as she wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands taking a hold of his shoulders for good measure. “Yes, time to taste me,” she said, her voice thick with arousal as she imagined the scene she had a few seconds of Butch and her secured in her frontal lobe. Riley wanted Butch but her heart said otherwise as it screamed for not only Butch but for Vishous to be here as well. <em>V…come for me….</em>, her heart screamed out. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>It seemed the Chosen surrounded the clear bowl of water, each wanting to know what was going on in regards to their Primale. Each assumed Vishous was theirs but it seemed their Scribe had other plans for Vishous. However, no one assumed V would be open to this new development in his love, all having though he would fight this attraction. He was their Primale and yet he was off pleasuring himself to a female who was going to have her own male. Almost made the Chosen want to stomp their feet in frustration but with Scribe Virgin in their mists, each had to shape their expressions into one of nonchalance and disinterest. The Scribe Virgin on the other hand knew what was going on with the Chosen but knew what was best for everyone. The Chosen would not be able to keep her son’s interest as much as this virginal female was doing in the arms of Butch. However, she had to make this as delicate as possible to get Vishous to fall even more for this female and a few waves of her hand; she opened the line between Butch, Riley and V to each take pleasure in their own visions. <br><br>“Go on my son, you know she is yours as well,” she answered as she waved her hand to cover the image of her son taking himself in hand for a mother need not know what her son did in the times when he pleasured himself.

				And so, with a single interfering gesture of an always meddlesome creator, the three became almost one. <br><br>Vishous could have noticed&nbsp; something was out of the ordinary when his hand flared bright against his rigid length, but where he would have wondered about the reason at any other time, now he was otherwise occupied. It didn't last long, in any case.&nbsp; Nor did his touch, either. One second he was stroking himself, drawing his hand up his shaft with a slow, unfamiliar caress.&nbsp; It was not something that the brother did often; Vishous could probably count the times with the fingers of one hand, and most of those had been a very, very long time before. The fact of the matter was that it didn't normally do much for him --no big kaboom, no particular urgency or release-- until something, suddenly, pulled on him.<br><br><em>Come for me</em><br><br><em>Fuck Me.</em> It was the weirdest thing ever to happen to him. Vishous tensed at the first hint of sensation, and then ...then he screamed. It is the only thing to do when your&nbsp; body is on fire. When your balls tighten and contract, when your cock throbs and&nbsp; blazes with pouring heat and, until the very last second you didn't /know/ it was going to happen. You scream. By the time he could breathe again, the warrior was shaking on his bed, his hand taut around the base of his erection as if to try to stop the outpour even if it was far, far too late. "FUCK." It was probably a good thing that his mother wasn't watching any longer, because she just might have enjoyed the particular look in Vishous face. Thoroughly, thoroughly pissed, and thoroughly, thoroughly spent.&nbsp; Well. Spent for a few minutes, anywhere, because the vision of his fantasy stayed right where it was and continued onwards with Butch moving on to lay his claim on the female. <br><br>Outside the brother's door, Hollywood rushed to check on him, but stopped with his handle on the door. Damn. Someone was getting lucky, and it wasn't Butch. He grinned from ear to ear, wondering which chosen would come out in a few hours to show off the Primale's bonding scent all over her. It was high time Vishous got on with the program, so he left them alone to enjoy themselves.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Yes. Butch was large. Perhaps not brother-sized, but very well-endowed for a human. When Riley bounced on him, the ex cop released a deep grunt from the bottom of his chest that was filled with approval and hunger both.&nbsp; Then something happened. Odd. Curious. Something was pulling on him, and he couldn't breathe. He couldn't focus he... <em>FUCK.</em> It was pain and pleasure that washed over him, not his own but close, making him shudder as he looked up to Riley's eyes. "Fuck" he mouthed, without quite saying the word, and focused all of his willpower on stopping himself from running over the cliff and jumping kamikaze style into the abyss beyond.&nbsp; Not even thinking about his mother /naked/ was helping him much in this situation. He breathed again, slowly setting Riley aside --it was easier without her dry-riding him-- and lowering a knee to the ground by the side of the couch so that he could both hold Riley's thighs apart and bury his face in between them. <br>

				The scream could be heard even from downstairs in the kitchen where the Zsadist continued on preparing a meal to take up to his shellan. He smirked and shook his head wondering if V was caving into the wishes of his mother and becoming the Primale. V might not be a romantic and Zsadish was never going to admit he was as well but he managed to pick up a romance novel or two Rhage read and left in the library. While a few of the stories were outlandish and unbelievable, there was a common thread between the stories and it was the fact that there was the difference between true love and artificial love. What Z and Bella had together was real but whatever V was going to have with those Chosen was a joke. He needed to realize those kinky ass things he did with those other females was not going to keep him warm as night as a female of his own could. <br><br>Look at him. No, really look at Zsadist. He never would have suspect he would fall in love with anyone for he would want to love a monster like him? He had been a blood save where he was abused in every way and yet Bella loved him. Loved his crazy and murdering ass. Loved him for the man that he was on hte inside and not on the outside. His outside may be frightening to people but Bella looked at him as if he was Don fucking Juan or those other romantic heroes in the romance novels. Hell, Bella even joked he was her Fabio which he never would reveal was one of the few nicknames Bella called him in the privacy of their bedroom. Fuck no would anyone get the chance to rib him on being called Fabio. He was Fabio to Bella and no one else had the right to call him that. Go ahead, call Z Fabio and see if any Brother could leave with their teeth in their face and their skulls intact. Go on.<br><br>Though so, fuckers.<br><br>As he finished making the meal for his shellan, he threw in making a small sandwich for himself. His shellan needed to bigger meal to feed not only herself but their babe as well. V one of these days was going to find himself a female that would knock him on his ass. He needed to find her before he knocked up one of those damn Chosen and was left having to choose between his heart and his head. Love was the healing balm and that he could validate.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>To Riley anything was large given the way she not experienced a lot of men in her life. Her other work buddies and students at the university might be masters in the art of bedroom play but she was an unplucked cherry from the tree. Yes, she experimented but it never went far in her college years. She was too busy focused on her career to really get into the scene of orgies, threesomes, any of that though it intrigued her many a time. In fact, in the back of her closet she ordered online (for she would have wanted to melt into the ground if she bought them at the local Borders) a couple of books in the area of erotica. She had the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice, Story of O, a few romance novels and then there was a large photography book on the male body where each male were posed in different scenes though the men were almost all naked with a certain scene piece covering up their lower regions. Now she felt as if she was having her own threesome by the feeling she kept having of someone else watching her, someone she wanted her with her but she did not know how to voice it.<br><br>Even now she could feel the rise of surprise pleasure weaving its way through her bloodstream. It was unexpectant and gut wrenching as her body bowed inward to take the blow of pain and pleasure. <strong><em>Fuck Me</em></strong>. <em>Yes, fuck me</em>, her heart screamed out to Vishous, trying to bring him even closer to the scene played out in Riley's living room. If her heart had hands and could paint a picture, it would paint the image of Riley on the couch, Butch hunched over as both felt Vishous pleasure as each received their own type of pleasure in this incident. If V could see this, he would see how much Riley took pleasure in his own, enjoyment in his joy and hunger in his own for answers. Answers, Riley wanted for whatever she felt for these two. No matter if she was in Butch's arms, she felt she was in Vishous's arms as well. For the massive need for Butch between her thighs, Riley imagined V pressed in between her parted thighs as well. She wanted to voice her wonderment of how it was possible to feel and even see Vishous on the bed with a hand on his spent cock but she could not.<br><br>How could she voice it as she turned her head into the couch and bit down on one of the throw pillows she had as she felt Butch's breath against her thigh. Her thighs quaked and mentally had to get her thighs to listen to her to open wider for his size. Butch may not be like V in his size but he brought a lot to the table. If she had a table in the kitchen, Riley put money Butch would have thrown her on it and gobbled her up for first meal. "More, please, more," she begged as she reached up with her hands to try and bring down Butch for another heart stopping kiss. Her fangs were not going anywhere, the need for of Butch and even V's blood consuming her very being. She wanted to mark him even though she was not a male with bonding scent, she wanted to bite him over and over to let everyone know with who he was with today.

				Butch really, really had to stop thinking about Vishous. It was a disturbing image that he had suddenly seen/felt, with Vishous coming like a fucking hose. Hell, the worst part of it is that he'd loved it. Even if he Wasn't Fucking Gay Dammit.&nbsp; He really wasn't. He had never been attracted to another man before and had a certainty that he would never be again, but the way Vishous had pushed his way into his mind and heart was totally unexpected. He suddenly felt his presence in the room and dismissed it with a kiss up Riley's inner thigh, reaching to find the center of her panties to press his face against and take in her scent. Vishous couldn't be here, it wasn't logical, but somehow the very idea of him watching had the ex-cop growing even more aroused. Whoda thunk he was the exhibitionist type too? The growl vibrated against Riley's core through her boyshorts as the cop reached up to hook his fingers around its waist and started pulling down. He had to taste her. Nevermind that the hair at the back of his neck would rise with a sense of urgency, or that he could nearly feel Vishous breath against it for a moment, calling him. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Vishous had let his cigarrette fall, and he cursed as he tried to recover it from the bed. The last thing he needed was a fire in his bedroom when he was like this. It was an odd kind of vision, different from the ones he usually got, and he blamed it on an overactive imagination as of right now, only that he couldn't stop it. He couldn't help but seeing it with his eyes open or closed. Her shaking, her begging for more. Butch's face on her. He growled at pretty much the same time Butch did.&nbsp; Dear scrib... no, he refused to think about her in that way now. Dammit, he could smell Riley's sweet Female scent and it was driving him crazy. Finding the cig he examined it, just in case he had picked one of Phury's red ones instead. This was some serious shit he was going through, and he had to be on something hard. Nope, regular brand. He burned it to cinders with his touch and leaned back without bothering to clean himself. He felt another one coming soon. He wanted to put his hand on Butch's neck and push him deeper into Riley before.. yes. He pictured himself by her side, his cock hard against her thigh while Butch finished taking the shorts off. He imagined running his hand over her breasts, feeling their weight as he lifted one and then the other to roll her nipples between his thumb and forefinger.<br><br>Riley could probably feel the phantom touch, the drag of fingers along her tank top and the strong grasp of that large, large hand tightening over her breast while Vishous took a step forward and decided to take control of his own fucking fantasy. She had to get those clothes off already, and he decreed it so. Yes, leelan, beg for more. Just like that. He could taste her through Butch's lips a moment later, and it was almost enough to make him explode again.&nbsp; Why the fuck was that dog looking at him like that in his own fantasy? Why was there even a dog in it, really, that was weird even for V's standards. He was certainly not into dogs. Probably. Maybe. Who was he to second-guess his subconscious anyway? <br>

				Reaching down between her legs, she ran her fingers through Butch's hair, tugging and threading her fingers in the fine strands. Even from the light above her, she could see the different shades in his hair contributing to his Irish roots though she was fascinated more by what he was doing with his mouth than his hair. "Oh...yes...," she hissed out through her clenched teeth as she felt himself press his face to her moist panties. He would be able to smell how strong her scent was, how aroused she became at this moment. Butch not only made her wet but the image of V as he came made her clit throbbed mercilessly against her panties. She shifted a few times to ease the pain wanting to rub herself against her panties over and over to achieve her orgasm but then she wanted to rub herself over and over against Butch's mouth which also worked best. Just picturing Butch's tongue on her core and even his fingers inside of her made her inner walls clench up at the imaginary fingers she thought of in her head. Dear Scribe he was going to make her scream like a banshee today. <br><br>"Oh, that is a new feeling...," she lisped out around her fangs as she felt the cool air touch her core, even feel his eyes staring down at her. Would Butch see that she was pink and wet for him? Could he see her clit peeking out beneath its hood, tempting him to take it between his lips, even his teeth and please her further? Smell the scent of her arousal or even feel how wet she was, enough that she felt a few trickles glide over her mound and down the sides of her legs. Oh, Scribe, she was a harlot for not one but two men. One man who was here and one man she wish was here to partake in this pleasure. Her heart continued to beat wildly in her chest, thrashing about in her ribcage to try and take flight to bring V to her apartment. Her heart was practically screaming out for V to arrive and take in the massive amount of pleasure going on in this room. The sexual need could be cut with a butterknife and then possessed with roaming hands and rushing fingers. The valiant heart of hers succeeded in bringing the Brother into this with a little help from the Scribe Virgin herself. Riley's heart sat back and watched the magic happened. Watched as Riley realized someone else was in the room with Butch and her.<br><br>He was there. Her eyes opened with a snap and she saw him there. It was a watery vision but she could him if she focused hard enough but he was definitely there. V was in the room with Butch and her. His hands were on her breasts, rolling and teasing her nipple through the shirt. Damn it, she not have worn anything to bed if this was going to happen. Riley should have gone nude and held a sign with the words, 'Take Me Please!' in big red letters the second Butch walked into her apartment. Now maybe she should have given Butch a map and V a light to guide them through uncharted planes. Though it seemed V was making a great start as she felt his scent, his eyes, hands, everything honed in on her and even she watched out of the corner of her eye as Phantom realized there was someone else in the room other than Butch between her thighs. She wondered what Phantom might be thinking at this moment of his owner on the couch with one between her thighs and another grabbing a hold of her breasts. Not really the best thing in the world for a dog to see but she doubted he knew what exactly was happening. He might only assume it was an imagination like what she assumed it was but she never better than assuming. Ass. You. Me.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br><br>Phantom on the other hand wondered why there was another person in the apartment he had not yet acquainted himself to as he barked and tried to run at the phantom vision to get the other male to pay attention to him. Instead of running into a solid person, instead, Phantom skidded on the floor as he went through the image of Vishous. The little puggle almost ran into the wall but he managed to throw his legs in the other direction and made it look like he was doing a breakdance move. He barked to try and get the attention not knowing that his own owner was making the noises he made when he was hungry only she was hungry for something other than dog food. Why was she moaning and mewling like that? Made the dog think she was the dog around here who was in heat and these men managed to sniff out her scent and come by the house to impregnate her. The dog even cocked his head to see what the second male was doing with his hands. Strange these human customs.<br><br>++++++++++++++++<br>&nbsp;<br>With the urgency to bare all of herself to V and Butch, she pulled down the front of her top, giving them both the sight of her naked breasts. The top of course would have to go but to feel her breasts bounce and her nipples tighten harder to the air excited her. "Oh, fuck me, fuck me Butch and V," she whispered as she arched her bottom into Butch's face at the contact of his taste of her. Yes, just like that these men managed to take over her world in a matter of hours. She knew not what would happen after today but all she was certain of was these men would take her and mark her as theirs as she would do the same to them. They were hers to have. She was theirs to own and to do with in their own matter. She only prayed these two would not break and shatter her heart into millions of tiny pieces.

				Butch's hair tickled Riley's fingers when they ran through it; the short haircut kept his hair soft and it rebounded easily.&nbsp; He loved her scent. Butch couldn't get enough of it, even as he pulled the panties aside and grunted with satisfaction at the sight there. She was totally bare. The throbbing in his pants was becoming painful by now, but he made himself wait. He wondered how many men had seen this sight and swelled with unfounded jealousy. If he knew, he would have hunted and killed them at this point. He clearly had no idea that she was&nbsp; a virgin, or he'd have been quite a bit more careful. Until the bit of 'new feeling' came out, at least.&nbsp; Butch pulled the boyshorts down her legs to the floor, but took them back immediately once he felt Phantom's rush towards them as if trying to investigate the possible new toy. Instead, he went ahead and pocketed them as he focused his full attention on the delicacy in front of him.&nbsp; He marveled at the moisture pooled there, but not long enough to divert him from tasting it. <br><br>It came as a gentle brush of lips against her inner thigh, their parting and Butch's breath blowing down towards the crowning rose below as he latched into the trickle of moisture there. He run his tongue along it to gather and then suckled the flesh clean to swallow the first drop. He could live on this. Who needed any other sustenance? The ex-cop's face moved on, drinking from her thigh as he went until he reached the edge ofher parted lips. Here, there was another kiss that was as exploratory and demanding as the one a few seconds earlier, only that this time there was no tongue to tangle with. Instead, Butch brought his hands to her thighs to spread them further so that he could reach better, not bothering with readying or teasing at this point. She was as ready as he, and he loved that. Loved the way she moved against him as if trying to get more. Another look up showed him she had bared her breasts, and the sight only made the matters worse downstairs.&nbsp; He had the sinking feeling that, maybe, he wasn't going to make it. <br><br>Until he heard her whisper, that is.<br><br>Not that he was a sympath, but Butch suddenly saw red.&nbsp; Was she fantasizing about someone else when he was doing this to her? The teeth came out to graze the rounded fullness of her lip, but they actually bit into it instead, a call for attention. Fuck. V. Even as he thought it, his fingers sank into the flesh of Riley's thighs and marking it with clear indentations in the shape of his grip.&nbsp; He imagined Vishous by her side. In fact, he could almost see him there, playing with her breasts and... <br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Her top came down like he meant it to come, and he watched those beauties come to light. Perfection, of course, like every fantasy should be. After getting it out of the way, he saw himself touching her again, feeling the soft skin on his fingers and watching it shape and re-shape with every flick of his nail. He ran his nails over her next, imagining the dimples left by his fingertips as they raked from the bottom of her breast up to lift her taut nipple to his lips. She spoke before he closed them around it, just the words he craved to hear. He knew vampires didn't share their loves, but this was a fantasy anyway, and he knew he wanted both. Why was Butch tensing anyway? His goatee tickled Riley's breast as he paused to look down at the cop, eyes dark with lust all over again.&nbsp; His gloved hand returned to his task, closing around his shaft even tighter. He could see the anger and the desire fighting within Butch; he flicked his tongue over the hardened nipple, knowing the other man would take the hint on this dream like he probably wouldn't in the flesh.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>... and then Vishous looked down at him, and Butch knew exactly what he had to do.

				Oh Dear Scribe, he was doing everything perfect. Butch was a master of pleasure and she grew jealous to even think he may have used his mouth and tongue on anyone else. She even felt the need to go after the women who may have been the ones to feel his gaze on their naked mounds as he inspected her own. A blush came to her cheeks as she looked down to see him pocket the boy shorts. <em>Dear Scribe of my heart, he is taking a memento</em>, she thought, her body flaming even more with embarrassment but an overlaying of arousal and desire. Riley only hoped he would look at her boyshorts and think of this beautiful night together. Her eyes could even see him sniffing her boy shorts which at anytime would have disturbed her but to see the joy and desire on his face as he did that overrode her first thoughts. If he wanted, he could take the whole lot of her panties if it made him aroused to know she wore them or could wear them if he came around more often. Look at her, already thinking of him coming back to her apartment to visit and spend more time together.<br><br><em>Please, come around again</em>, she thought as she tried to keep her bottom from wiggling beneath his touch and mouth. It was difficult not to beg him to take her into his mouth but to feel him licking up her juices made her quiver. She wondered if she would taste sweet to him or even something he could enjoy having over and over again. Well, her questions were answered as he not only pressed his mouth to her core but he practically french-kissed her, her hips arching into his face as a fierce cry broke from her throat. The cry was loud enough to scare Phantom off to hide himself in the bedroom, leaving the three be of an unwanted audience member watching the trio having a bit of naughty fun on the couch. Riley wondered how loud her voice could go with these two men around feeling her voice was going to be raw by the end of today; though she knew she was going to enjoy screaming her lungs out. Then Butch had to go and bite the side of her pussy lip and her scream was even louder than before but it ended on a groan. It seemed little miss Riley enjoyed a bit of pain with her pleasure.<br><br>Butch must have seen what was going on. He needed to know that her attention was on both of him, her mind breaking apart to give each part of her to these men. Each side of her heart breaking in two and morphing into two hearts to give to each man. Each would have a piece of her in one way or another. Butch brought out the sweet and alluring side of her, never thinking she could do this in her own living room much less with two men. V, oh Dear Scribe V brought out her vulnerable side as if she could lay bare her secrets for he had secrets of his own. Both of these men brought out sides of her and she only hoped to add a bit of good to their lives too. Even now she was self-giving in her ways, her eyes flickering towards Butch to lick her lips and let one foot head towards his lap to try and find his throbbing prick. Just imagining his cock between her lips was enough to solicit a groan from her, her mouth wanting to take him down her throat and let him get rid of her gag reflex. These men would be her firsts and she wanted these two to teach her into pleasing them thoroughly as well. Riley did not want to be the only screamer around here.<br><br>Though it seemed there was a bit of competition on Butch's end for she wondered if she did something wrong in calling V's name as well. Could he not see V there as well or was she going crazy? Riley only hoped she was not going to lose the moment with Butch because she imagined V's figure and have him walk out of the apartment because of it. It would devastate her but she would understand considering she called out not only Butch's name but V's as well, a male who was close to Butch but could be his best friend and even rival. She felt the hand upon her thigh tighten, the fingers digging into her supple flesh, giving way to a slight bruising which would stay there for the next few hours. The marks on her thighs not of pain but of possession, something she could keep close to her heart after all of this was done and over with but now she needed to keep Butch from assuming she thought of someone else to arouse herself with him. With her mind, it seemed if she saw Butch, she thought of V but she also saw them both separately. Each were their own and each man attracted her to them whether or not they might not like the situation but it seemed both were continuing on with this pleasure.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++ <br><br>Even with Butch's possessiveness it seemed to not affect V by the way he was enjoying her bared breasts as she glanced back towards him. In fact, he was flicking his hands and fingernails over the skin of her breasts. Her breasts felt heavy and full, almost screaming for V to grab on and squeeze them nice and tight. "Ahhh, yes," she hissed out, biting down on her lower lip with her fang, her blood singing beneath the skin of her breasts as it was handled in V's hands. She never knew her blood could sing much less talk but right now it was calling out to these two men. Enticing them into her life, bringing them closer to break down her walls. For years, she erected imaginary walls around herself and now in the blink of a few hours the two managed to not scale over it but blow it up with dynamite to get inside her inner sanctuary. Now the two were here, well one was here and the other she tried to pinpoint how he was in here with her but both were here in their own form and right now Riley was taking pleasure from it. <br><br>Even now, though V's goatee should bother her, it only inflamed her even more to enjoy these men for the moment. "Bite it, please," she asked of V once he took her taut nipple between his lips. V was giving her pleasure, she wanted to give some back. With an unsteady hand, she reached out to cup the back of his head to her breast as if he was a babe though this was not ordinary babe. He was a man, a strong and virile man who deserved pleasure just as much as he dealt out to her quivering form. There her mind went to what he tasted like and she licked her lips to feel her lips wrapped around his cock. With that in mind, she reached out with an unsteady hand to try and trace her fingers over his back, sliding over the line of his spine, hoping to grab his ass and move under to stroke his cock. She never knew about V's problem with his member but to her, his cock and Butch's cock were two works of art that needed to be stroked and tended to full release. To imagine the two spending their cocks all over her breasts, neck and mound was enough to make her come right there and then.

				First, however, Butch had something else to focus on, and that was the sound of Riley's groan. He realized just how hard he'd bitten her and cursed himself, yet not enough so not to realize just what that had done. He had met a lot of women who liked it rough, true enough, but not necessarily as rough as he could be at times.&nbsp; Or as rough as he understood V liked to be. He released the clasp of his teeth slowly, changing it to a slow, suckling sensation before letting it go, finally, with a moist popping sound.&nbsp; Butch vanishes his thought of Vishous for the time being. It is enough his being nearly obsessed with the other man, without Riley being the same way. He brought his hands up her thighs instead in a secure caress, letting his thumbs caress the joint between thighs and lips before reaching for the latter. He pressed and tugged them apart, working on her tension in response to his touch and watching the revealed flesh in between. He gauges her reactions then, running the length of his tongue along the parted slivers of flesh, and only gradually moving upwards to circle around the hood. <br><br>There was the reach of her foot then, that made Butch tense in place. The first rub he could withstand, but the very touch was growing far too much for his current state. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>It was that reach that really started to set Vishous off from the fantasy world he had just created. That's exactly what the real Riley would do, too, reach straight for the scarred flesh, wouldn't she? Suddenly, Vishous was not quite as happy with this particular figment of his imagination.&nbsp; He had no right to think of her that way, and she would never, ever, be close enough to touch him like this. He straightened himself in bed, kicking the sheets aside even as the picture in his mind began to blur a little. His own hand reached down to where the imaginary Riley was going, covering the scar and cupping it with his hand in a particularly uncomfortable gesture.&nbsp; Pain shot through him, and he cursed inwardly as he felt her closer than before while he nursed at her breast in a gesture that was not anything V was used to. <br><br>He closed his eyes, imagining her lips around his length instead, and shuddering with pleasure. This time it wasn't so unexpected, and he started working himself harder even, feeling the release building deep within himself and the familiar tingling at the base of his cock.&nbsp; He wondered then if Butch felt it the same way, and just how the cop would look when he came. Yes, something like...<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>After a moment of that, Butch knew he could live there forever.&nbsp; He looked up to watch Riley's face as he reached down to push her foot harder against his erection. He wasn't going to hold it any more, and not because he didn't want it. He slid himself against the arch, thrusting against it with a purpose. He wanted her to feel the throbbing there, the way his heartbeat pulsed through it and to know it was all because of her. His other hand went the opposite way, sliding a finger into her while his lips sealed around the sensitive nub above and allowed his tongue to press firmly against the hood, just enough to push it back and pleasure its center directly with a long, moist slide. <br>

				Yes, the bite to one of her lips was not something she would put as a turn on but done in the right way and with the right person it seemed to turn on Riley. Many things she was learning about herself and one which surprised her was how vocal Riley became in the throes of passion. Sure, she was vocal when it came to teaching a classroom full of students and keeping them in line. Show any fear to the college students and it was a surefire way to have them take advantage of the naiveness and slack off. Riley cared about her students and knew each could do their best but to be vocal in the bedroom and to ask Butch to continue with what he was doing made the butterflies in her stomach flutter even faster. It seemed she has different things going on in her body with butterflies in her stomach, fire heating her loins, a tightness in muscles as if there were bands around her body, her voice urging her to keep talking and her eyes to take in everything around her.<br><br>"Oh, I think I am going to come...so close...," she cried out as she wiggled her hips, arching and pushing her mound further into Butch's talented tongue and finger. Her inner walls clamped down to keep him inside of her though his finger was not long enough to break through her hymen. If he had noticed how tight she was, he would after finding out she was a <em>newling</em>, a virgin that had never be taken before but it seemed maybe the way she was moving about the two might assume she was experienced in the art of threesome. Hell, she had no clue there was even an art to threesomes let along she would be in a threesome. "Yes, like that, oh, fuck....yes, yes...oh," she murmured as she shook her head from side to side in an effort to keep herself from jackknifing towards Butch to have him thrust deeper in with his tongue against her bud. Her clit was loving the attention, growing wetter and her inner walls growing hungry for a cock to feed inside of it. Which male would take her maidenhead and which one would she fit into her mouth? Decisions, decisions.<br><br>+++++++++++<br><br>Oh no, Riley did not reach for his scarred boy though she never knew about his one boy between his legs. V may have assumed she could hate him for not being a 'true male' as others in the camp said to and behind V's back but she was no superficial female to demand a male have a twig and two berries instead of one. Admittedly, Riley was scared of V the first time she met him because he was a scary male with the tattoos on his face, the goatee and the look in his eyes which made her wary to turn her back to him. Now, she wanted him like she wanted a pint of Ben &amp; Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream. He looked delicious to her and she wanted to gobble him right up or right down once she managed to move her hand around his own around his boys. She wondered if he thought she was going to squeeze his balls or hurt him in some way to get him to move onto something more X-rated with her. For her, Riley could admit her interests laid in different areas of sexuality but having never tried it out with anyone, all of her fantasies stayed inside of her pretty, little head. With no place for the fantasies to go, she relented the thoughts to the back of her mind never to be heard of until now. <br><br>"So <em>pherarsom</em>," she muttered as she finally wrapped her hand around V's cock. Well, not all the way around since his cock was too thick and long for her but just thinking of how this <em>pherarsom</em> shaft was to fit inside of her tight walls frightened and pleased her for he was a man of many great things especially between his legs. Both of these men were <em>pherarsom</em> with Butch's own cock pressed against her arch, her foot working to get him off through his pants. She bet any second he was going to bust a fucking nut and stain the inside of his pants and it only made her wish she could have him come down her throat. Look at this brazen Riley was how becoming more and more sexualized and if she only knew it was her needing period gathering around the corner that was starting to send off scents to the men in the room. In a few days' time, when her needing period hit and she did not make it to Havers to go under, she would feel the same arousal she felt for Butch and V but this time it was to enhance to heights of intense pleasure. Bella went through this and the whole household had to deal with it but how would the men feel knowing Riley was on her own in her apartment where her scent could seep into the apartment complex and even out into the Caldwell city where any male strolling back could smell and become aroused by it? <br><br>For now, Riley did not think of such things but she wondered if this was too good to be true. Maybe the Scribe Virgin was pulling a cruel joke on her by letting her fantasize there were two grand men in her living room and she was merely in bed dreaming up everything. What a horrible joke it would be to wake up alone and nothing to comfort her but Phantom. Riley adored her dog but he did not keep her warm at night like a man should and as she bit down on her lower lip to pierce the skin. When she felt the pain and tasted her own blood on her skin, Riley knew it was no dream. She was in fact on her couch, legs spread out, the feeling of an orgasm close upon her with her heel digging further into Butch's lap, stroking him closer to his own orgasm. Riley wanted him to come with her name called out as he spent himself in his pants. She wanted V to do the same as she looked up to V and then to Butch, making herself vocal as she felt her orgasm counting down.<br><br>5....<br><br>....4....<br><br>....3...<br><br>.....2....<br><br>1!<br><br>"Both come for me, please!," she screamed out as she came against Butch's tongue, her hand working diligently over the length of V's cock and her foot moving faster and harder against Butch's cock.

				He wanted her to scream for him; to taste her fully; to draw her out and back and in and over the edge, and Riley's cry proved to Butch that he would be getting exactly that. It was probably a good thing because he didn't have that much left in him. In fact, he was well past having anything left; Butch was drawing on his last credit funds at this point.&nbsp; His blood was drumming against his ears in a deafening rhythm that still couldn't distract him from the one below.&nbsp; Then there was something else, though, that just might change everything. His finger slowed down to a stop. It was a split second, likely unnoticeable by Riley at this point, and the ex-cop closed his eyes again. It was... It couldn't be, of course. It was a vampire. A transitioned one. Everyone -who knows vampires- knows how they go sex-crazy after their transition. It wasn't as if he had been with a lot of virgins, innocent girls were never his choice for lover after all, but some things were unmistakeable.&nbsp; He pushed a little ore, feeling the stretching of the skin and where it ended on the opposite side rather than further within Riley. There was no room for misunderstanding there. He looked up at her.<br><br>And that, of course, was just more than enough.<br><br>Butch's manhood tightened against the fabric of his pants, the thrust of his hips grinding against her foot with the accompaniment of&nbsp; those rumbling sounds of male pleasure that only reverberated on the moist flesh his mouth was worshipping.&nbsp; Each motion pushed him closer to her, almost as if to sink into Riley until, in the end, he gasped in pleasure as the powerful strokes sent his seed forth, contracting and throbbing with each hard release. He heard himself drawing her name on his lips as he stroke harder with tongue and lips, not quite registering her words until a moment later. <br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Phearsom." Vishous echoed the word with a chuckle at himself for the idea. Phearsom. The Riley in his fantasy loved what she saw, yet even within it the warrior found it impossible to truly show himself to her. He grunted to her in warning when she closed her hand around him, and Vishous pictured himself bringing his lips to her shoulder and letting them trail them up slowly. Thirst flared stronger by the second, and he knew that if it had been the real Riley she could have felt the length of his fangs slide across her skin past the edge of his lips. He never used his fangs like that,either. Only to bite and drink when needed, it was a biological imperative, nothing that he enjoyed doing. But he knew he would love to sink his teeth into that soft skin of hers, to pierce it all the way to the bulging, throbbing vein on her neck and drink from it until there was nothing left but their bodies joined in one. He toyed with the idea, imagining his vision of Riley react to the tracing of sharp, pearlescent points over her shoulder and up even as she shook with pleasure from Butch's work.<br><br>He loved the Butch in his fantasy too, going all head over heels and tonguing that Female like there was no tomorrow. If he kissed him now, would he taste of her? Butch would never go for those things anyway, but it was a stirring thought. Almost as stirring as the hand on him. He wondered why he was fantasizing her so innocent; the way in which she gripped him spoke of little experience, as did the way she looked at his shaft. It was hard now, large and glistening, and he used the slick dripping from its tip to moisten it as he started to work on it again, imagining her hand was right there above his own.<br><br>And then he saw Butch's eyes and his face as he grunted, and he knew how he had exploded just because he felt it, tingling against himself like a phantom touch. That started what Riley's words finished, and his phallus twitched as it sent jet after jet of his own seed towards the ceiling and his abdomen for the second time this waking hour.&nbsp; He let himself fall back on the bed then, and cursed as their figures became thinner and thinner against stupid fantasies that could never fucking become true.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>It took Butch a second or ten to realize what Riley had said, and in the meanwhile, he had pushed another finger into her if only to confirm his findings.&nbsp; She really /was/ a virgin, and he had been none the wiser about it. He shook once more as another throbbing pulse ran the length of his cock, adding even more mess to the liquid fire between his hip, thigh, and pants. He had nearly savaged her, and she had never said a word. Other than 'both come for me.' If Butch was sure of anything, it was that his name was not 'both.' Nevertheless, he lowered his tongue and mouth a moment later to join his fingers. He wanted that taste still.<br><br>

				Did Butch not know how hard she was screaming? She may have said, 'Both', but when she screamed, his name was said the loudest before she cried out for V. Butch should know she cared for the two of them, her hand coming down to tug on his hair as she came not once, not even twice but three times. Three times for Scribe's sake. Riley never even gave herself three consecutive orgasms, she was lucky if she even felt a blip on her screen when she pleasured herself every once in a blue moon. This was an experience she never felt before and hoped to experience again and again. Even now her inner walls clamped down around Butch's finger, desperately trying to keep him him though she continued to wander how it would feel to take Butch or even V inside of her. Would it take a while to insert each cock into her core? Might it hurt to break her hymen against their phearsom lengths? However, there was the matter of the fact she was a virgin and there were two males she was interested in. Riley knew not how to explain the fact she was a virgin to either one fearing rejection as she arched her back over and over to release the pressure in her lower abdomen. <br><br>Sweet motherfucking, oh yes! Oh yes, just like that. Oh Scribe, yes. Do not stop, please, oh fuck. Lick that pussy...<br><br>These words continued to repeat themselves over and over, words failing herself as she though of these phrases in her mind. Each phrase dictated just how much Butch managed to withdraw from her pleasure account, her thighs tensing and her toes even curling in as he took from her what no other male had be given free reign. His mouth, tongue and hands should be put on the FBI's banned list of weapons because right now he was taking her body hostage for pleasure. It sounded cheesy but when her breath was gasping, her breasts bouncing up and down to take more of his ministrations and her thighs quaking like a earthquake in California, not a lot of room to think of non-cheesy comments. At the moment, her mind was on repaying the favor to Butch, her tongue flicking across her bottom lips as she imagined her mouth wrapped around Butch's thick cock but then again she imagined her mouth wrapped around Vishous's cock as well. She imagined herself on her knees, Butch and V naked and their torrid cocks pressing against her face as each waited for her to take them down her throat. <br><br>One hand wrapped around V's cock to warm him up as she started in on the head of Butch's cock. Her tongue flicked over the slit in the cockhead, hearing Butch groan and even bite out a curse. She grew bolder as she took merely the head into her mouth finding it felt smooth and plump against her tongue. V would watch the two of them as he thrust his cock into her hand before another idea popped into her head. Riley pleasured Butch with her mouth while she pressed her breasts together and let V fuck the valley of her breasts. Oh fuck, just the imagination of V thrusting between her breasts and Butch's cock settled down the back of her throat was enough to get another orgasm out of her. These men were going to drain her of her strength by the end of today. That she could bet on.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>Yes, Phearsom, how many times was she going to have to repeat that to the two of them? Vishous and Butch's cocks were worth of pleasuring not just any female but this female on the couch. The thought of their phearsom cocks being used on any other female was unacceptable. Those cocks belonged to her even though she knew she had no right but in this moment she did not want to think these two belonged to anyone else. Butch and V may not know but this female undulating her bottom into Butch's hip and stroking as best as she could of Vishous's mouth watering cock was falling for these two hard. Would if freak them the fuck out knowing this mewling and moaning female was falling head over heels for them? Well, not so much head over heels as more like laid back, thighs spread wide that Butch could have seen her glistening core from across the room and her hands fingering the top of V's cockhead as she took a bit of his come and sucked it deep into her mouth. She was a fool for these two, each one breaking her apart and putting her back together with love in her eyes as well as arousal in her depths. Now she only had to convince herself that it was fine to fall for two men and not make them think she was leading each on. <br><br>Butch and V meant something to her in this span of time. How could she have known that it was possible to feel wholly attractive to two different men? Even now, she continued to pleasure Butch in her own way, cupping the back of his head and whispering how much she loved this and would let him have this 'drink' from her core whenever he wanted to drink. Once it hit her ears, her face inflamed with the knowledge of what she said to Butch, biting down on her lower lip a second later as he plunged his tongue and mouth against her core to pick up her taste. Riley had actually let Butch know she immensely enjoyed the oral sex and gave him permission to come around to continue what was doing on whenever he wanted. It want not just about sex, she enjoyed Butch and V's company though at the moment V was doing a pretty damn good job of removing her brain from her head from his touch. God damn...<br><br>Riley shivered, the room growing warm from the couplings but her skin goosebumped because of V's fangs on her skin. Was he going to bite her? She hoped so and contined to stroke and lick the come from his cock onto her lips and tongue. It tasted salty but heady, almost dark and spicy. Did Butch taste the same way? When she saw V's vision fade dimmer and dimmer, she wondered if she disappointed him in her innocent ministrations. She glanced back towards Butch wondering if he even saw V in the room before she leaned on her arms to try and get Butch's attention. However it seemed the phone ringing off of the damn hook was doing its job of breaking her from the fog of pleasure to wonder who was calling her at this hour. It was barely eight in the morning when Butch came in but by the look of the clock she kept on her coffee table it was really ten. No, that cannot be, it meant all of this pleasure had been going on for a good hour and a half. Where did the time go? Her eyes went up towards the ceiling wondering if the Scribe Virgin was truly playing games with her. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>"Very good, yes," the infamous and perhaps peeping Tom Scribe Virgin peeked into the bowl to check in on how her open pathway worked for the trio. She averted her eyes a few times having noticed Butch practically living off of Riley's feminine core. My, my, it seemed the Cop managed to find something other than Lag to drown himself in. Anymore of his tongue work and he might pull a muscle in his tongue and face. Perfect. Yes, Perfect for it seemed the webs she made were finally closing in on her son and his best friend. The next few days had to be planned out to counteract any nasty fall outs from tonight. She knew males were not about to share over an unmated females but there were always success stories. Even now her mind wandered towards Qhuinn and Blaylock, knowing those two in one way or another were going to be mated even if it a third would be the one to bring those two back together. She did not like the way Qhuinn affected Blay's mood but even if she was the Scribe Virgin she could not play all the time with their faiths. Sometimes, the Brothers and their mates had to let fate run its course but with Butch, Riley and V, the trio needed a nudge in the right direction. If not, each were destined to live loveless lives and this Scribe Virgin was not about to see her son and his friend contemplating leaving the Brotherhood if their love life went down the fucking drain. Not on her account. <br><br>+++++++++++++++++<br><br>What the fuck?, Wrath thought as he stopped himself from knocking on the door to V's room in The Pit. He took a few second to verify what he smelled and frowned. Dark spices, spices only used for bonding with a female. Holy shit, did V have a female in there? No, someone else had to be in The Pit but Wrath knew better. Butch was a human and unable to give off the bonding scent and V never brought back a female to The Pit. The only other female who could be allowed back to the mansion was a Chosen and was V finally giving into the role of Primale. It hurt his heart to know V might have potentially given up on every finding his fated female. V may not believe it but Wrath somehow felt there was a fated love for everyone of their Brother. Darius always wanted on about love and he never believed his good friend until he met Beth and then he ate his own motherfucking words on a gold platter. <br><br>Now Wrath hesitated on knocking knowing a doggen would have done it but he had wanted to speak to V for the interesting phone call he received from Rehv. Apparently, V was harassing a certain female who was under Rehv's protection which made him wonder if the female had been one of the hookers hired or perhaps a female V might be into. The way Rehv phrased it V could not stop badgering the female and even involved her in a fight with the lessers. V knew better than to involve civilians into the fight with the lessers knowing it could blow their whole fucking cover. The civilians needed to not know there was a band of Brothers out there to protect them from lessers. If the civilians knew, there was the risk of groupies and people coming around to verify there were Brothers and never leave them in peace. It would ruin any more operations to take out lessers if there were groups of fan girls coming after the Brothers. <br><br>With Rehv's concern, he needed to talk to V in private away from any passerby especially Rhage who was a whore for gossip. Though the household knew when Rhage was around for the way his flip flops flopped against the carpet and his foot. Everyone razzed his ass for wearing flip flops but he continued on wearing the fucking flip flops. Fuck, Wrath knew not how to go about this in not wanting to interrupt V's time but also not walk in on something he should not. He heard about the kinky shit V was into especially the penthouse he used for those nights when he was calling up some female to have her hair off of her neck and calling him master in the old language. Did he bring back one of 'those' females to The Pit? Either way, Wrath needed to talk to V and get this shit cleared up. Whatever it was between him and this female named Riley who he harassed, he needed to watch himself when it came to fucking with Rehv's people. The man was a sin eater and everytime the man came around to see Bella and how she fared with Z's babe, it always freaked everyone out. Resolution embedded into his bones, Wrath rapped on V's door five times to make sure V got the hint and cleaned the female and himself up. Dear Scribe he knew not what he might find inside V's room.

				<br><br>Oh Butch knew just how hard she was screaming indeed. And he was working to make her scream even harder if he could. With his fingers curling a little within her, the ex-cop watched Riley finally let go with his own brand of delight.&nbsp; Each shift of her body, each shake and throb, he took them into account and used them to prolong her pleasure until it was close to too much. Then yes, he slowed down to a stop and moved on to kiss along her inner thigh instead, cleaning every last drop of moisture there. He had to. Butch needed the time down there to figure out just how to handle what he found out, not to mention his own situation. "Riley" he murmured, whispering her name with adoration. "I've never tasted anything this good." He wasn't lying either --first, this wasn't his normal style, and second, this felt good from any angle he could look at it. <br><br>The images that ran through his mind then were wilder than he expected for this particular moment, and he felt himself starting to rise to the occasion again. It was too soon for it not to be painful, but he managed well enough at this point. He pushed those images away. This was his moment with Riley, and he shouldn't be thinking about V. Instead, he lifted himself to her side again, running his hand over her thigh and side to the underside of her bared&nbsp; breasts before he brought his eyes to her own. "I didn't know," he said after a moment.&nbsp; "Maybe I should slow down some." He was crazy to push her so quickly, particularly with the kind of images that were in his mind.&nbsp; He was going to say more, but then the phone rang and he looked at it, waiting.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>V's closed eyes couldn't push away the imagery of Riley's lips stretching wide around his erection.&nbsp; Riley's mouth was probably too small for that, but fantasy has a way to fix those things as needed, and his head lashed back again to clash against the headboard with a loud -thunk-. That woke him up somewhat, as did the five that followed. What the... The warrior lifted an eyebrow and looked at himself, grunting at the sight of such mess.&nbsp; "Just a minute" he called to the door, reaching up and away to the bathroom to clean himself. "What do you want?" He didn't even bother to ask who it was at this point.<br><br>

				A shudder and mewl racked her body and her mouth. Small little zaps went through her nerve endings, feeling like she could easily fall asleep and have a smile on her face for the mere fact that she orgasmed. Three times by Butch's mouth. Butch who was still kissing and licking his path on her thighs. "You are going to make me look like a tomato for the rest of the night." It was true, her blood managed to rise to the surface, her eyes noticing the handprint made by Butch's hand on her thigh. Where it should have worried her to know he had been that hard with her, to know he had possessed her in that manner brought another shiver to her body but a good shiver at that. Butch was something else, a human she never thought could handle her unique background. Yet he was here and she was happy for it.<br><br>The happiness seeped away as she looked into his eyes, a gasp eliciting from her at the hand on her breath but she felt cold. Oh, Dear Scribe he knew. Finally, Butch knew that she was a virgin and now it was going to turn into an awkward moment for the two of them. Well, for her it was doubly awkward because it meant that all of her inexperience was out on the table to him and he wanted to slow down. Did he think she was not able to handle him? Oh, she could handle him because she managed to keep herself from exploding and drenching the place in pieces of her body when he pleasured her to the highest peaks of pleasure. Now she only hoped he might not back out because she was not a expert in the ways of pleasuring a male in the bedroom. Her experiments in college were nothing compared to what she had right now with Butch. Did he regret knowing that she was a virgin and had no clue what even turned her on?<br><br>Liar.<br><br>Riley knew what turned her on and it was Butch. Butch and...V. Both of them turned her on and it made her doubt herself. Doubt how she acted and if she was pushing herself too far with either male. Butch more, since he was here and she must have imagined V out of her mind and into reality. Did she make herself out to be a tease or an easy lay? "I should have told you, I'm sorry," she started and cursed to hear the phone continuing to ring. Since she thought it rude to dematerialize beneath Butch's body towards the phone, she let the call click over to her machine. When she heard her parents on the line asking her to try out her mother's new dish she saw in Home Cooking, Riley blushed once more. If only her mother knew what Riley was trying to cook up with Butch, her mother might faint. Once the message clicked off and she thought about her scheduling, she glanced back to Butch and wondered if he thought her nuts at her next words, "Do you want to try some homecooking today?," she asked, smiling. Smooth, Riley, real smooth.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>V must be having a real good time in his room not to care about what came out of his mouth. Granted, V could really give two fucks about his attitude but when it came to Wrath, a bit of respect could help V be more friendly to others. Either way, Wrath waited outside the door but best to get started with what he needed to say to V through the door. Better to keep something in between V and him while he said what he had to say which was something he did not want to say at all. Get what he said? Thought so. "Its me, V, I got a call from Rehv about you harassing and bringing a female civilian into the mix and also that Butch went on a bit of a shopping spree and is at the female's house now. I have no clue what is going on, but I want you to bring back Butch and the civilian to try and make sure she is not going to spill secrets," he explained, hoping to the Scribe Virgin her son was going to listen and do this errand for him. Just once he wanted the Scribe Virgin to make things easy for Wrath but he knew V's mother was never one for easy days.

				<br>Awkward moment indeed. For one, Butch didn't expect her to apologize, and he shook his head in reply. He started to say something, but then there was the phone and her parents on it, and he just ended up smiling. "You mean you are off today? I could cook anything with you." His smile only grew broader as he reached around her to take her robe and pull her towards himself with it. "I'll be the first to admit I can't cook toast, but you definitely inspire me. What do you want to eat?" He loved the fact that she had never been with anyone before. Butch found himself reaching for Riley's hair and brushing it away from her face as he looked at it, observing the mix of knowledge and innocence that had made it so very attractive to start with. <br><br>He wanted to sink into her and never pull out. <br><br>Funny thought, that. Butch shivered in place, imagining just what that might feel like. "I was going to pick you up and take you to the bedroom" he confessed, eyes trained into hers. "But you didn't answer my question earlier." IT wasn't really a question, but maybe he had meant it to be. <br><br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>The way Vishous jumped in the bathroom at the sound of Wrath's voice could have hurt something. Maybe it did, because he looked at himself in the mirror with a clear wince. When Wrath started to go over harrassing and civilians he growled, cursing Rehvenge's ancestors all the way back to the Scribe Virgin. (sorry mom) Wrapping a towel around his waist and having cleared out most of the visible mess, Vishous went to the door and opened it with a firm, almost explosive tug. Looking at his king straight in the eye V. said "You and He need to fuck off. Seriously." Picking up a cigarrette he lit it right there, without quite inviting Wrath in. <br><br>"We didn't harass anyone, to start with. We had a nice conversation with a Female, and she was rather into it if you get my meaning. It was nobody's fault that she decided to run out into a bunch of lessers that were trying to make a Butch pie. Should have seen her kick ass, too." The fondness on his tone is rather unmistakable, even. "She doesn't know anything."<br><br>

				Aye, Riley wondered if Butch knew that she was talking about bringing him over to her parent's place to have a second meal? She doubted it by the way his face lit up and thought she had a day off. Work was not for a few more hours until seven in the evening but with her parents calling her, it made the few hours she had free now tied up with them. It was hard on her parents knowing their daughter was out on her own trying to carve out a good living for herself. One of the reasons why she promised two days a week to dine with them though it solely depended on her parents when the two wanted her to come over. So far, the days varied but it seemed her mother must have gotten ahold of a good recipe to invite her over at this time. It would certainly make her stay at their place until four in the afternoon, a lot of time for catch up and even watch a few movies the two netflixed online. Took her father six months to pick up ordering movies online without having to worry about the hour to pick out their favorite shows.<br><br>She smiled as he pulled her up by her robes, chewing on her lower lip where she could still taste his blood. Riley had to shut her eyes in reverence to Butch's blood. "I meant my mother's home cooking. You heard the message and my parents are known to call over and over. It is free food and if you come along, we can excuse ourselves back here and continue our...date," she hesitate on calling whatever this was going on a date between the two of them. If walking into her place, showing her shoes, laying on her couch and then soon enough letting him orally pleasure her to great heights was a date, well, then she was loving this date. Even moreso when he informed her that he wanted to pick her up and take her to her bedroom. To see Butch on her comforter was a very nice vision. Then he mentioned his earlier inquiry and she looked away, "I am and I can understand if you are not into that or to going to my parent's place for a few hours. I can go over and see them for a few hours if you don't mind sticking around here," she answered, not knowing exactly what he wanted to do with either information. She informed him not only was she a virgin but that she invited him to potentially meet her parents under the guise of free cooked meal. Nice, another smooth move.<br><br>++++++++++++++<br><br>"Watch yourself there V for you may be the Scribe Virgin's son but you need to still remember the rules of the Brotherhood. We cannot let civilians get involved in our fights and especially one who is part of Rehv's crew," he answered, clenching his fists. His vision may be to crap and Beth continued on and on about going to Havers to have his eyes checked but until his vision crapped out on me he was not about to let his vision get the best of him. Right now, V was trying to cop an attitude and it was not going to fly with his ass. Whatever went on with the Chosen and him must have not been that good because even with the growling and groans going on in the Pit before he knocked on the door, it did jackshit with his mood. Maybe he needed to get a female who was in it for love and not just fucking him for impregnation but tell that to his face and not end up with a few missing teeth. <br><br>Instead of backing down, Wrath moved forward to invade V's space. "Whether or not she got your meaning as your King I order you to go to her place of residence, pick Butch and her up. Once you do that, you bring the two back to me where I will see forth if she knows anything to the contrary. If she does, we alter her memories and send her on her way. Do not try my patience because Rehv and you are fighting for a female," he growled through his clenched teeth. Even through the hazy vision, this female meant something to V and even more so that Butch was with the female. Wrath never even knew Butch was with this same female who had been in the fight with the lessers until the call from Rehv. Conveniently, it looked like Wrath was left out of the loop and no one told him about what happened out on the field. Know why? Because he was not part of rotation, he was left only to sit behind his pansy desk and even more pansie as fuck chair that squeaked everytime he sat in it to push papers and act like a King. The only thing he felt was a useless King that could not even be out in the field anymore. "Do it now," he answered before he dematerialized back to his private bedroom to find absolution in his female.

				<br>Vishous stared at Wrath as he spoke. So very much like him not to let him get a word in edgewise. Whenever anyone needed a car jacked or a trace on something, or some tracking, it was always going to Vishous, but when Vishous wanted something for himself it was always 'remember the rules'. Right. He was about to follow the king to tell him to go fuck himself, yet he still needed to shower. Instead of doing either, he just watched Wrath go while he finished his smoke.<br><br>This was going to be a mess.<br><br>There was no way they could erase those memories now, and if Wrath could think coherently instead of being a pansy-ass who only thinks of not being able to fight because ...gee... he had too much paperwork as a king, well, that wasn't his fault, was it? Not to mention that he really, really didn't want to go see Riley again at this point. She was too much, and he couldn't afford that kind of trouble with momma dearest on his own ass to get to fathering warriors. She should just put Rhage up to it, really, the stud could give her three or four pregnant chosen per night, while he was not interested in it at all. <br><br>He stared at the end of his cigarrette for a while, just leaning against the door for the time being. He still had no idea of what that vision he had was, but it certainly was driving him crazy, and that she was with Butch didn't help much. He finally closed the door and moved on to the room, looking for his cell and dialing the number. "Hey, cop. We've got a situation here."<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br><br>Butch didn't do the family thing too well, probably because of his own history. He'd never imagine spending time with his parents now. Or ever. That's probably why he didn't catch what she meant, in any case, but once Riley explained he nodded slowly. "There's still some light left outside" he said after a moment. "And I.. would probably want to change first." Or at least clean up, if his glance down to his pants says anything. "I mean... Are you sure you want me to go?" Hell, her parents will probably freak out when they realize their daughter's companion is a human. Hell, the way she was chewing on her lip, he wasn't going to be able to stay two inches from her, much less a respectful distance for a while.<br><br>"As for the other, I meant if I should slow down or not, but now I think that's out of the question, isn't it?" at least he could take it with a grain of salt, so he brought her lips closer for another kiss, which is of course when his cellphone went off. He didn't get that many calls, so he grunted and reached for his pocket to pull out the caller id. When he saw where it was coming from, well, he murmured to Riley an apologetic "I have to take this one" while bringing it to his ear. "I'm listening."

				Wrath knew no one was in the room with Vishous. There was no telltale smell of a female scent nor her bodily fluids anywhere about but then again if it was a Chosen she could have easily made sure to make herself scarce. However, Wrath felt V had been alone all by himself which only added more mystery to what the fuck was going on with V. More was added onto the mystery with the call from Rehv and the way the sin eater went about the troubles V and Butch were giving Riley. Whoever this Riley was, it must be worth it for he had not felt V this angry in a while. With his eyes fucked up, he had to use his other senses to get a well, of course, sense of people and right now he could sniff something was up with V in regards to Riley. "Be a new thing if he actually wants someone other than Butch," Wrath muttered beneath his breath as he dematerialized back to his bedroom.<br><br>One way or another Butch just had to get into whatever V was up to but according to Rehv, Butch had been the one to start trouble with the Riley civilian. Riley, Riley, Riley, why the fuck did it seem three men were getting involved in the business of a female named Riley? He was going to have to search about Riley's history and find out if there was some sort of link for Rehv to get this agitated enough to shout out the need for a banishment of Butch and V whenever the pair were together in ZeroSum and near the bar. Now whether Riley was a hooker or merely a new playtoy V wanted to own for a few hours in his penthouse, Wrath rather not have Rehv involved in all of this shit at a time like this. This kind of drama needed to be left to those three and not sploshing over into the Brotherhood business. V, Butch and Rehv needed to all sit down and work their shit out rather than getting his hands dirty. Fuck.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Yes, in fact there was a lot of light left outside though she hoped to dematerialize to her parents home and Butch could meet her there in his car. One thing about being a vampire that she was not fond of was never being allowed to go out into the sun. She went out before her transition but it was only a few moments at a time. Now, she missed the few minutes Riley was able to bear the sun on her skin but now to be about in daylight was the risk to be turned into ash. Riley doubted her parents wanted her to risk literally her life to go by human transports. Dematerializing was the best method as long as she was calm when she transported herself and not carry anything heavy with her. Honestly, she wanted Butch to come along but she understood if she was jumping the gun on things.<br><br>"Well, I don't do this with anyone, really, I don't," she explained as best as she could without making it seem as if she was high maintenance or a tease. In some parts, she wanted to take things slow but in other parts she knew trying to be chaste and coy was not going to fly after what happened today. All she knew was that she did not want whatever was blooming between them just to be all about sex. While sex was a great thing given by the many orgasms she had, sex could only sustain a relationship for so long. With Butch, she wanted to see if there was the potential for a relationship even if the whole relationship guideline went straight out the window when he walked through the door. Even now as she tried to receive his kiss and the call came in, Riley was considerate enough to let him talk to whoever it was on the phone while she dematerialized over to the hallway door. She pointed and mouthed that she was going to clean herself off and get dressed for the dinner with her parents. Butch may or may not want to come along but Riley's duty to her parents was still there to at least give them her time while the pair had given much of themselves bringing her up in Caldwell.

				Since Riley didn't actually tell Butch about the dematerializing business, he just smiled at her protestation, and he would probably have said something had he not picked up the phone right then. Listening to Vishous in the background, he nodded to the female's withdrawal and smiled to watch her go, eyes stuck on her retreating figure. There was no way her parents wouldn't know what she had been up to with that scent around her, either, but maybe she knew a way to get rid of it. At least until V. dropped the bomb. The conversation extended for a while, and that would have given Riley more than enough time to do quite a few things before Butch knocked on her door again. Always the gentleman. How the hell was he going to break the news to her now?<br><br>As usual, Butch always chose the direct route. It was usually the least painful for all parts, and it saved time on top. "You may want to tell your parents you are going to be a little late for dinner tonight." His voice was calm, the kind of professional cop tone that said everything is fine even when you damn well knew it wasn't ever gonna be. "We have been summoned somewhere else, and it's not the kind we would want to dismiss." Great job, cop. Now not only you made an ass of yourself, but also made yourself sound even more mysterious than you should. Why the hell did Wrath want to get involved anyway? This was getting totally out of hand.<br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>The last question V. asked Butch on the phone was whether it was clear for him to show up where he was, and that had its own reasoning of course. He made it a quick shower, and after getting dressed he materialized right by the side of Riley's couch. It just so happened to be a very familiar couch. It just so happened to be in a very familiar room. It even just so happened that the dog peeping through the door nearby was a very familiar dog. "Fade take me." Vishous grunted to himself as he sat in the very place where he had imagined Riley's hand taking him. Maybe it was one of his dreams, but it had felt considerably different from them. Something was playing with him, and he wasn't going to fall for it. Not in a million years.<br><br>He heard voices nearby, the cop's low one and Riley's, and he stared at the dog eye to eye as if to say 'stay away from me'. Then, he waited.<br>

				Riley left Butch to talk to the phone and wondered what might have happened if the two calls never came through. Oh, she had a feeling of what the possibilities were but she tried not to act so damn happy about the moment but instead tried to remember her parents were waiting for an answer to their question. She mulled over what to do as she headed back to her room, Phantom having snuck out once more to see if the coast was clear. After the roar, he hid beneath the bed having assumed the roar meant someone was about to get into control and he ran to escape being given a swap on the bottom. When no one came to take him out from beneath the bed and no swap on the bottom, he went out in search to see of who it was exactly received the swap on the bottom. <br><br>As for Riley, she tried her best to change and hide the telltale scent of sex before her parents realized what it was and had a heart attack. Even now, she glanced down at herself where her breasts hung out of her tank top and she was without her boy shorts. Butch had her boy shorts. "Oh, sweet Scribe," she whispered as she rubbed the back of her neck and felt as if she somehow was watching someone else play her because this was not her. Or was it? Maybe it was the worrying of the needing period which was getting to her and yet if it was her needing period, she handled it well. No pains, no feeling of death coming upon her if she did not have a male inside of her, Butch and V inside of her. Butch and V. <br><br>Dear Scribe, why V and Butch? Not to say the two were horrible but to feel this way in a short span of time felt almost as if her life was being handled without her say. A few times her eyes looked up towards the ceiling in wonderment of whether the Scribe Virgin was trying to send her a message. There were a few times she asked the Scribe Virgin for guidance and to keep her family healthy but it was not until now she fretted over the possibility of the dearest Scribe throwing her life around for a reason. Riley knew not what the reason was or whether if somehow all of what was going on was to crash around her ears. She felt something for Butch because of what occurred last night and now but what of V? The few interactions she had ended with him warning her not to break Butch's heart and then invading his space or she invading his space but usually ended up with somehow feeling as if there was something else to their interaction. The latest of him on the couch was not real especially since no one but Butch and her were left in the living room.<br><br>"I am going nuts, only Butch was there and I must have looked horrible to say someone else's name," she said to the reflection of herself in the mirror. She brushed out her hair with her fingers and remembered one rule one of her former classmates in college mentioned to her. No man who is in bed with a female every wants to hear the female scream out another man's name. Riley was guilty of calling out another male's name in front of Butch. She did not know whether or not he heard V's name but she screamed it loud enough for the neighbors three doors down could hear her. An apology needed to be made but how could one apologize without hurting ones feelings? Oh damn, she was not trained in the art of this, maybe she should have taken human sexuality in college. Might have worked for her now.<br><br>Once the knock on the door came, she turned and opened to allow him entry if he wanted. Her room was still messy from jumping out of bed but she managed to put her stretched top and her robe into the dirty laundry bin. "Butch, I'm...," she started but found he was direct with things, a good thing to have in life. What she wanted to say dissipated as she listened to the tone of his voice. Not good. Definitely not good tone of voice and when he finished talking, she took another look up at the ceiling. <em>Really, dearest Scribe Virgin?</em><br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Yes, really. The Scribe Virgin knew what was best for her son and his friend and she knew the best was in this female. She may be inexperienced unlike her son and Butch but those two could teach her. Just having seen the red tint of a goatee hair on her chest and marks on her thighs as the female slipped into jeans, the Scribe knew things were going well in her eyes. Now to only make sure Rehv was not about to put a wrench in her plans. The male needed to back off before she made his own fated female disappear much more quickly than his dopamine. She knew what he was up to when she watched from the glass bowls. His mother would not approve but then again she had her own secrets to keep from the community. People assumed she did not know what was going on behind closed doors or even now watching as Riley headed out of the bedroom and down the hallway but she knew very well. It was merely a matter of time to let those three figure out what the truth was and then stick it out together.<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Riley nodded to Butch and had to return her parents message. The phone was in the living room and best to let her parents know that she loved them before something happened to her. The way Butch made it sound it felt almost as if this was with the King or the Scribe Virgin. People spoke about the King but she never had a chance to greet his presence. Of course there were photographs of him but nothing compared to the real thing. Once more she wanted to talk to Butch about what exactly the kind of business he associated himself with and found once more her words disappeared to see the actual V in her living room. In her living room with her dog who looked curious about the stranger but kept his distance.&nbsp; <br><br>No, she had to be imagining things. <br><br>He was not there.<br><br>Maybe her mind finally snapped. "Butch, do you see V like I saw him earlier?," she turned to whisper before she blushed furiously at V. He looked solid this time but she continued to think he was real earlier. Yes, her mind was now snapping and she imagined it all while at the same time insulting Butch by calling out another male's name. Vishous. "Welcome to my home," she answered though her words were choked as she let her eyes linger towards his goatee and how it felt to have it brush against her neck and chest. He was here earlier even if her minds were playing tricks on her.
