Memories Keep Flooding Back ( Open )

[kristina]

Kristina’s skin was sensitive as the hormones rushed through her veins. So every touch, every kiss, every rhythm was complete bliss. As she straddled him, gliding back and forth over him, she felt his hips once more sync with hers. She could feel the sensual energy rolling off of him and her inner lycan embraced it as he moved her to a sitting position on him. His hands squeezed her ass and her moans continued to fill the room as she continued to feel him below her. It was pure torture to feel him so close and not yet have him. Her body ached for its release yet she couldn’t help but be more than content in the moment. The music filled the room, masking the sound of the still pouring rain outside. For a brief moment, she thought of moving them to her balcony, but she quickly decided against it. As sexy as that would be, she much preferred the warmth and the music. Besides, they’d already been out in the rain once tonight. That was enough.

In one graceful movement, his hands wrapped around her slender frame, bringing his arms up and then back down her body. His touch was invigorating. If it was possible, she grew even more aroused, her breathing heavy as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Her forehead pressed against his and she just let her breath trickle against his lips, her body longing to be his. She felt his arms move her so he was on top of her, but before another thought entered her mind, he had pulled her back to his feet. She had to admit, that took skill. And as he moved a few more times with her, their bodies mixed a dance and torture. Finally, she felt her back press against one of the corner bedposts. Her eyes locked with his, as she knew that savored moment was quickly approaching.

Arching her back against the bedpost, her hands moved up and over her head, coming back down and through her hair. Her hips remained with his and with one graceful movement, she felt him push into her. Near immediately, her breath caught in her throat before a cry of pleasure emitted from her lips. All at once, her muscles tensed and she felt herself become tight around him and her body trembled in ecstasy. He felt amazing, and as David grasped her and held her, her own hands moved to his shoulder blades, pulling him closer, her lips right at his ear as her soft breathing and moans filled the room. He didn’t falter in his rhythm, and something about that only heightened the sensation. Pulling away for a moment, she let her back rest against the post, her body arched and completely visible for him. Her skin was glistening and her breasts were moving with his movements. Her eyes closed and she bit at her lower lip, arching her neck as well as her body burned hot. Everything about this man had mesmerized Kristina, and this was no exception. She hadn’t felt so close and connected with anyone in years, which perhaps made this moment all the more intense. She needed him, her body longed for his hands. She opened her eyes and gazed at him, every desire and want completely visible. Moving her right leg, she wrapped it around him and drew him closer, pushing him deeper inside her. She cried out at the feeling and moved her hands back to his neck, slowly moving down his chest as her forehead pressed against his. “David...” She moaned his name softly, clearly letting him know she enjoyed what he was doing. Ever so slowly, her hips moved to the music, her breathing heavy as her body grew warm.

[david]

Thank goodness that the human body was created for three essential things, food, shelter, and sex. At this point David was highly utilizing the sex part and thanks to good old engineering his body really just started doing its own thing without David really have to think to consciously about it. Of course David was…There was no doubt that David was enjoying himself but there was the matter that David simply was trying to hard not to mess anything up. He would be enjoying himself far more if he would simply let his mind go and relax. The fact of the matter was that he was very much so in charge right now and he was in charge of making her feel good and he needed to think about just how to do that. It was very easy to see the wheels turning in his head if someone just looked into his eyes. David held her against the bedpost with his hands one hand on her waist and his other hand was on her sternum between her breasts keeping her whole body against the bedpost. The only thing that was touching was there abdomen and torso. David watched everything and eyed her whole body as it moved back and forth as he did. He listened to the sounds she made as she said his name, the gasps she made each time he went inside her. She could feel herself tightening around him. There was a downside to him not having any sexual relations to a woman quite some time apart from the obvious lack of experience though. He body was simply not used to the pleasure it was experiencing and it was practically like David was time bomb just waiting to go off given the right environment. He had given it the right environment but he knew damn well that she wasn’t going to be pleased with such a short performance. Unfortunately there wasn’t much he was going to be able to do about it and after one more motion he pulled away just a bit, but definitely so he was out of her. “I’m sorry…” he gasped for air, his throat dry, his brow drenched with sweat just like his hair. “I’m too close…its been too long…” He whispered, quite embarrassed to be telling her that but he needed a minute to cool down or another activity. He had been too warmed up from the dancing and the teasing to be quite honest.

[kristina]

Moans continued to echo through the dimly lit room as she felt David move smoothly in and out of her. The pleasure was beyond comprehension and several times she arched her neck back, closing her eyes in bliss. How could David talk of not know what he was doing? Everything between them just seemed natural, and more than once her vocals increased as she felt him grace across certain sensitive spots. In the background she could still hear the sensual Spanish music as her world became solely focused on them. His hand kept her pinned against the bedpost, his other on her hips. His touch was gentle, yet firm. He had definitely taken control and Kristina found herself more turned on by it than she had anticipated. She felt him begin to move faster and harder and her own pleasure increased, her body continuing to grow warm.

Biting at her lower lip, her hand moved down his arm that held her pinned. She could feel the sweat forming on her naturally tanned skin as her breathing remained heavy. In less than a moment’s time, she felt him pull away from her a bit. Panting gently, she heard his words and couldn’t help but smile. That meant he was enjoying himself. “Shh…its okay.” There was a spark in her eyes as she stepped closer to him, running her hands through his hair as her breath still trickled warm against his lips. Her mind ran through the possible things they could do until he was ready again. She could feel her body still begging, even more so, for his touch again. For a moment, she thought again about dancing, but as her eyes flickered across the bathroom, another idea came to mind.

Moving her hips in a playful yet sexy way, she took his hand in hers and led him into her bathroom. Turning to face him, she let her eyes stay with his as she turned the shower on. Near immediately, the heat and steam could be felt in the air and she smiled, stepping into the shower and pulling him in with her. The music was still audible and she moved her hips a bit as she let her hand move to his neck and pulled him closer in a quite passionate kiss, the water beginning to bead and run down her skin slowly.

[mikel]

Mikel had to admit that this sort of thing didn’t happen all that much. It was usually the other way around being that he was the one in the mansion and she was the one that was returning home. However, on this occasion it was quite the opposite. Mikel had been off attending to some off the books things that no one really knew about. Of course, that was the point. It was perfectly natural for Kristina to assume charge of the estate once she returned home and if she ran into any of the security that Mikel had in place. Chances were though that she wasn’t going to run into any security because they pretty much left her alone. They knew her and knew her intentions and so Kristina was allowed a rather large amount of freedom within the mansion. Unless directly told by Mikel, no guard could touch her no matter the species and that generally went for anyone she had with her. The guards never knew when Kristina was on special assignment so they simply stayed out of her business unless directly instructed otherwise. Mikel was quite literally one of the few people other than Mikel himself that could run the show in his absence. Mikel wasn’t about to have that be something ever needed to happen though.

So the guards never said anything to Kristina when she brought David home but they did record everything that happened between them and Mikel had cameras everywhere, even in Kristina’s rooms. Mikel wasn’t paranoid, he was just overly protective. Mikel was informed of everything even before Mikel arrived home and so by the time Mikel had a chance to actually get home he had already had his people run background checks on David, tagged Kristina’s phone line in case he had used her phone for any reason. Apparently he had used her phone and the person he had called had already been proven as his sister and Mikel had already sent people to that home as well. Mikel, within the first couple of minutes of finding out that there was a stranger in his home. Mikel wasn’t someone that opened his house up to whoever wanted to come and enjoy themselves. That just didn’t suit Mikel’s lifestyle at all. Mikel was far more protective and secretive than to have random people that he didn’t know wandering about his house, even with a chaperon. So, Mikel returned home knowing everything that was going on, which was normal, and he already knew what he was going to do. Kristina wasn’t going to approve.

It wasn’t the fact that Kristina had a boyfriend that bothered him. She could sleep with whomever she wanted and she wasn’t an assignment either so she could go anywhere she wanted. Mikel didn’t have a problem with either one of these things. However, Mikel did have a problem with two things. The first thing that he had a problem with was the fact that there was a stranger in his home that he didn’t know and from what he could gather, that Kristina didn’t know all that well either. Kristina could handle herself so he wasn’t worried about her being hurt, he was just worried about a random person working for someone and seeing more than they needed. The second thing that Mikel didn’t really want to happen was for Kristina to get really attached to someone. The problem with her getting attached was that it would impair her judgment should Mikel need to do something to or with that person. Mikel knew how strong emotions could be and that they caused people to do ridiculous things at times. He hoped that Kristina wouldn’t become ridiculous.

Mikel’s signature third step caused by his long black cane could be heard all the way through the hallway as he walked towards Kristina’s room. Her door was closed and to anyone but Mikel that was sufficient enough to deny entrance. However, Mikel could go anywhere in this mansion that he wanted. After all it was his mansion. Mikel cracked the door open a bit quietly and peered inside long enough to see Kristina taking the stranger into the bathroom. Both of them were naked and with the clothes randomly thrown all over the floor, it didn’t take a genius to figure out what was going on. Mikel sighed and shook his head as he opened the door and walked into the room. Salsa music met him and the smell of endorphins surrounded him as well. He could smell Kristina’s perfume and this stranger’s scent as well. Mikel reached into his perfectly white suit coat and retrieved a single tranquilizing dart. Of course the tranquilizer that Mikel had chosen was able to bring down a lion so he was pretty sure it would work rather quickly on this human as well. Mikel could never be too sure about anyone these days. Thankfully the door was left cracked that led to the bathroom and Mikel only needed a crack. The dart levitated from Mikel’s hand and Mikel with the slightest of ease shot the dart through the crack and into the back of David’s neck. Telekinesis was a cute power from time to time. Before anything else could really be done and before David’s body could really hit the bathroom floor, Mikel opened the door and looked in at Kristina. He leaned both hands on his cane and shook his head. “You know better…” He scolded.

(This is worked out with David because of his absence)

[kristina]

The nearly scolding water began to run down her skin as she stepped into the shower. Immediately it felt amazing against her muscles and for a moment her breath escaped her. Her eyes were with David’s as she leaned in and kissed him, but as soon as she did…she felt a presence approaching. Inhaling, his scent filled her lungs and immediately she went into panic mode. He hadn’t supposed to have been home tonight. What was he doing here? The guards usually stayed clear from what she was doing. Her heart raced under her chest, pounding as she tried to figure out something to do. Drawing away from the kiss, she gave David a sorrowful look and before she even had a chance to speak, she saw a small dart hit his neck. “No!” She cried out as he body moved ready to fall. Her instincts kicked in and she moved and caught him, her lycan strength allowing her to support him. Dark, cold eyes darted to the man who had just walked in.

“You didn’t have to do that!” Her words were filled with venom. She had kept a solid eye on David the entire time, yet Mikel just couldn’t let her have just one night with someone not an assignment. She felt her fox grow furious within her. Not only had he barged into the middle of something amazing, he had caused every fiber of trust to be broken between David and her. Any hope of a potential relationship had been ruined thanks to the charmer that stood before her.

Powerful energy rolled off of her body, filling the room with a completely different demeanor. He did not own her, nor did he control who she was with. The endorphins were still present, but adrenaline and anger overrode them…causing her fox to claw at freedom. Every part of her wanted to attack Mikel, but she knew he would win. Even as an Alpha, he was far more trained than she and it would show in combat.

Moving out of the shower, she leaned David against one of the back walls, casting a towel over his lap. She then reached up and grabbed one of her silk robes, quickly tying it around her body, her hair still damp on her shoulders. “I had everything under control.” She stated coldly, not granting Mikel the satisfaction to see her unclothed. She stood between David and Mikel, her stance a bit defensive as she spoke. “He needed help, and I was there. He had no where to go. What was I supposed to do? Turn him away?” Her eyes flashed a shade darker as she looked directly at Mikel, her breathing slow and controlled.

[mikel]

Mikel smirked as Kristina made sure that David didn’t hurt himself as his limp body began to fall to the ground. That was so cute. She didn’t really seem all that pleased to see him. She was usually so excited to see him. He could remember when she would dress up just to go see him. He knew that she looked up to him but not as her father or brother but just as a guide or a mentor. Whatever she thought of him, he knew that she revered him and was generally obedient. She had never stood up to him like she was doing at the moment. What was it about this man that had caused her to betray her loyalties? He could see the distaste in her eyes, and taste the venom in her words as she rebuked his actions with David. He didn’t really care if she didn’t approve of his actions because that didn’t matter in the end. All that mattered was that Mikel had his plan followed through. Of course Mikel had found a way to use this man for his own purposes. It really shouldn’t come as a surprise either because Mikel was always making sure everything ended up being used for his greater good. She hadn’t told him yet what he was going to do but he knew she was going to figure out in about a minute after he told her. He needed to deal with something else before he told her.

He could tell that she was trying to stand up to him for once and that was something Mikel wasn’t going to allow. He didn’t mind her having her own state of mind and her own opinions but to be openly defying him like she was doing right now was simply out of line and he needed to teach her a lesson. She was standing in a place that put her in front of David, keeping Mikel from him. Mikel’s face became firm, his features very resolute as he looked at her, watching her put on her robe, covering everything Mikel had already seen before. “So, you want to fight me do you?” Mikel asked. He could feel her fox clawing at her and he could feel her adrenaline and anger growing and pulsing through her veins. She wanted to attack him and he knew she was trying to control it the best she could. He was going to provoke her, just to prove a point. “Go on, attack me. Do what feels so right to you at the moment. Let your creature out. Maybe you will be fast enough to defeat me, get to me before I can react. Go on, do it!” He paused. She wasn’t going to attack him and he knew it. But he needed to show her something that she wouldn’t quickly forget. Kristina began to feel her right hand moving from its current location up to her head and run through her hair. Mikel didn’t have any problem controlling her. Her hand moved from her hair down her neck and to her collarbone, taking the robe and sliding it down over her right shoulder, leaving half of her body exposed. He then released her arm from his control. “Don’t you forget for one moment that I am not able to do control you in any situation regardless of how hard you would try to fight me.” Mikel said sternly.

He was fairly confident that she had learned her lesson from what he had just displayed. Even if she wanted to attack him and possibly do some damage, she was never going to be able to overcome him. Mikel needed her to understand that because he hadn’t shown her in a while what he was capable of doing. She needed that reminder apparently. Mikel looked over at David and smirked a little bit. “Actually, in an indirect sort of way I should probably thank you for bringing him here. You couldn’t possibly have known this at the time I am sure but the man you were so cavalier with here is rather important in the government and knows quite a few things about missiles, radar and other technical details. He is going to be very useful to me in the end. I guess that’s why I can’t be too mad at you for bringing him home.” He said with sort of a sly smirk that said, I always win. “However,” He continued in a much more stern voice, moving right up in front of Kristina, looking in the eyes, not interested in her barely covered body at the moment. “Don’t you ever undermine my authority again.” He told her. He was controlled but she could hear the amount of anger in his voice that told her he was dead serious.

[kristina]

All at once, Kristina felt a flood of rage pass through her entire body. Mikel was provoking her and she knew it. He wanted her to realize her place in comparison to him; to realize that she would never be able to overcome him. He was her mentor and her employer. Without him, she would be nothing. He provided the luxurious life she lived, and he was the one who looked after her. Kristina knew this, but even in spite of the moment, she couldn’t help but want to shred his entire frame to pieces. Her beast only heightened her emotions and she rarely grew angered, so this moment was unusual for the both of them. His voice trailed to her ears, telling her to attack. This only angered her more because she knew Mikel knew she wouldn’t attack. So his words were just taunting her…dangling a piece of meat in front of her with no hopes to successfully obtain it. Her breathing remained slow and calm, but she made silent her desire to attack him.

As if verbally condemning her to her place wasn’t enough, he further asserted his authority. Without mentally knowing, Kristina felt her hand move naturally from her side, above her body, through her hair, and to the rim of the silk robe she had put on only moments ago. It partially slid off her shoulder, exposing part of her body to him. All the while, she tried to fight against it, but it was useless. His mind control was far too strong for her to block, but she could feel her muscles shaking in trying to break it. Finally giving up her attempts, a barely audible sigh escaped her lips. He then stepped closer to her, his demeanor never like she’d seen before. Usually he spoke to her in a gentle tone, but now he actually instilled a bit of fear in her. Not that she would ever admit to it or show it, but for the first time in years…she felt his powerful energy completely masking hers. Every muscle in her body tensed as he spoke. Bringing David had been a mistake to say the least. For a moment, she wondered why she was reacting the way she was. It didn’t take her long to realize the reason stemmed from her heart. The connection she had felt while dancing with him, the freedom of being with another, the thought of maybe one day having him by her side. They were all lingering in her mind, driving her to protect him at all costs. In the few short hours she had known David, she was falling for him.

She felt herself regain control of her arms and she looked away from Mikel. Her silence was her first sign of submission, her eyes looking away was her second. He won. He always did. No matter the circumstances, she knew she would never be able to be love unless she left Mikel’s right side. Leaving meant she lost everything, and even if she wanted to, she was pretty sure he wouldn’t allow it.

The smirk appeared on Mikel’s face, and an impending knot formed in her stomach. Her eyes closed as she listened to him speak, any thread of hope completely cut from her wings. The anger still remained, but she felt too belittled to even try. She wanted to thrash out and throw more venomous words towards him, but she just couldn’t. And for the first time, she felt a foreign sting of tears at the back of her eyes as guilt and regret passed over her. She was thankful she was looking away though; Mikel wouldn’t be able to see. Closing her eyes for a moment, she inhaled deeply before looking back up at him before glancing to David. “Please…just don’t hurt him…” Her voice was weak…defeated as she pushed past Mikel and back into her quarters, wanting to get away from him.

[mikel]

She was submissive to him and in the end he knew that she would have to be. Mikel was not someone that should be taken on under any circumstance and he made sure Kristina knew that. She might have been an alpha but he was an alpha as well. He had never been defeated in combat by anyone other than….those…way at the beginning of his journey into who he truly was and Mikel didn’t really count that as a loss because it really didn’t give him a chance. Mikel had never lost to a werecreature or any other charmer he had ever encountered. He had always asserted himself as the most dominant one in any situation and such a stature kept him alive because it placed fear in some and respect in others. Either way, Mikel maintained a level of dominance, the level that he demanded and quite honestly, the level he deserved. Mikel had been through hell and back and seen things and done things that most people would never understand. He felt he deserved everything he had and to many, they would think so as well.

She turned away from him and walked back into her room. She told him that he wasn’t allowed to hurt David and, for the moment he had no plan of doing that. Torture only got him so far and Mikel had read David’s file. He knew that the man was a Navy Seal and he figured that those types of people were more than well equipped to deal with torture. No, torture wouldn’t be the way he persuaded David to do his bidding. There was always mind control but that was complicated and used precious strength and Mikel couldn’t do anything else while he was controlling David. He was going to need all of his senses and his mind to do what he needed to do while David did what Mikel told him. David had one real weakness Mikel had been able to find in him and that was his dedication to his family. Mikel had already sent men to his sister’s home and he would bring his sister and all her children to the mansion as leverage. No man could stand to watch Mikel toy with them. Mikel had ways of making things rather excruciating and it would simply inhumane for David to not do what Mikel asked of him. Mikel would let them all go. He wasn’t someone that needed to really be worried about being arrested. Besides, once he was done with David it wouldn’t matter all that much anyway.

Mikel moved into the room after Kristina and closed the bathroom door. He would take out David in a moment. He wasn’t going anywhere. He could sense that she was disturbed and he wasn’t about to have her disgruntled to the point of not obeying him, certainly not with everything at stake. “Don’t you think that I am some sort of monster.” Mikel told her as he looked sternly at her. “You have seen me do far worse to people and not shed a tear, not blinked an eye. What makes this man any different? You have known him for less than twelve hours. You have been on missions for twelve months and never grown such attachment to men much more classy and worthy than him.” He sighed and shook his head, throwing his left hand into the air a bit in exasperation. “I don’t care that you love him, go ahead and love him and want him, sleep with him. I don’t mind that you’re your own person and have the right to do what you please. But if you believe that for one minute that you will compromise everything I have worked for, essentially what you as well have worked for all these years, then you are wrong. Nothing is more important than what is coming, and no one, not even myself.” Mikel said honestly. He didn’t care if he lived or died, only that what he was planning came to completion.

[kristina]

It was all too easy and Kristina knew it. Simply walking into her bedroom would not rid her of Mikel. No, he would be sure to pound the subject firmly into place. That was just the type of man he was. Her back stayed facing him, not caring to look at the charmer who was lecturing her like she was five. Of course she knew Mikel had plans…he always did, but where did the harm come in helping a man out? The moment he said it, Kristina knew he didn’t mean it. She could not love David if he could not trust her. And clearly after previous events, he wouldn’t be able to. He would remember Kristina and then he would be told of some unfortunate hostage setting and he would assume he was set up. That was the way it always would work in the Machnerum Estate. She lived at the estate, yet Mikel would never allow such a man to walk through the halls. Sure, they could get a hotel room, but how uncanny did that feel: having a love affair in a hotel room? She only partook in those sorts when absolutely necessary, and she would be damned if she would do it with someone she actually cared for.

His voice once more filled the room and though she looked to not be listening, she was quite attuned to what he was saying. A monster. No, that wasn’t what Mikel was. He was much worse and both of them knew it. He could be as humane as possible, yet his actions were the most sadistic of anyone. Whipping around, she glared at him. “Worthy?” She questioned, her anger once more beginning to rise. If he kept talking like this she would have no problem attacking him, regardless of the outcome. “What do you know about worthy?” Her voice was like venom once more. He had provoked her and her attacks were reaching out to provoke him. Maybe the two of the needed to have it out after all. Even if she knew she would lose, it would probably make her feel better. “You send me on these assignments, sleeping with men who are nothing but filth. Even the classiest of men are trash.” The wrath of a woman was nothing to mess with, especially when emotions got involved. “God forbid I actually find a gentleman who isn’t perfect, and who doesn’t say all the right things. At least I know he’s genuine.” She honestly had no idea where she was going with this argument, but somehow the words felt right. A part of her wondered if it was just pent up anger from Mikel always being gone. Sure, she had all the luxuries in the world, but she was as lonely as ever. Usually, he was her haven, but as of late, he was never around.

“I have no intentions of ruining your plan. As I stated before, I had everything under control.” She spoke, being a little short causing her attitude to show a bit more. She could feel the blood burning in her veins and her breathing was slow and almost dangerous. Her eyes flashed anger and rage, and she quickly turned away from him, moving towards the closet. She wanted to get away from Mikel and away from the estate. The last thing she wanted was to be around when David came to. The only question remained of whether or not Mikel would let her go. Even at her quickest, he was always one step ahead of her.

[mikel]

Mikel stood there for a moment and watched as she began her rant again. She had some pent up anger or something and for whatever reason, this incident was causing everything to come to the surface. Mikel didn’t really mind all that much. All he had to do was sit there and weather the storm and he was certain she would be fine. Women were like that sometimes. They just needed to get something off their chests and then once that was done they could actually cool down a little bit. Mikel didn’t mind that she was angry and that she was yelling at him. Yea, it undermined his authority and it showed a lack of respect but for once Mikel just felt like he should let it go because of the situation at hand. He would let her have her way this one time for the sake of the mission. He knew that what he was doing was far more important than any one person or any one situation that could arise. Let her have her temper tantrum. It would be over soon enough and then he would move on with what needed to be done. Mikel stood in the doorway after she was finished and moved to her closet. It was overwhelmingly obvious that she was not in the mood to talk to him or be lectured by him at the moment. That didn’t matter to Mikel. She could sulk all she wanted. This would just give him time to get David out of the bathroom and into the interrogation room.

Mikel turned around and looked out the door of her room and beckoned for two of his men to come in. She was inside the closet now and he didn’t have to worry about them seeing something they didn’t need. The two men walked into the room and into the bathroom. They walked over to David and took him out of the bathroom, dragging him on the floor. Mikel didn’t care if he got a little bumped or bruised on the way. He was going to wake up with a splitting headache from the tranquilizer anyway. Mikel stood in the way between David being moved and Kristina in case she saw him being dragged away and attempted to stop the process. Mikel waited until David was safely into the hallway and out of the room before he stepped out of the room. He was done with Kristina for now. He hadn’t really intended on doing anything else besides remove David. She could be left alone for now. He wouldn’t place a guard next to her room or anything like that because if she went anywhere, he would know anyway. Mikel turned to the men that were hauling David away. “Take him downstairs and to one of the interrogation rooms.” Mikel told the men. “His wife and kids should be here soon enough and then we will really get to work.” Mikel said with a smirk as he closed Kristina’s door.
