“Jesus Christ! Did you have to bite me so fucking hard?” Ethan snapped as he inspected the two small punctures on his neck. Putting pressure on it, and ignoring the twinge of arousal that came with that motion, he used the mirror to glare at the woman who was still sprawled on his bed.
“I couldn’t help myself. Lycan blood is just delicious. Nothing like it.” Victoria smacked her lips then tossed him a wink.
All this was Dom’s fault, he thought angrily. If she just went where he told her to go and stayed where he told her to stay this wouldn’t have happened. Lycans and vamps just did not mix. Perhaps for business, though they couldn’t be trusted, but never for pleasure. The females that he bartered out to the vampyres didn’t even cross his mind.
“Come now Ethan. Don’t try to pretend you didn’t enjoy it,” Victoria purred as she moved from the bed to stand in front of him. She smirked when he crossed his arms in front of him.
“Get out of my head,” he snarled.
Shrugging, Victoria ran a hand down his form. “It’s part of the package when you make a blood oath. You swore to help me just as I swore to help you.”
“So, help me.”
“Not yet, pet.”
He shrugged her hand off his shoulder. “I’m not your pet. And why haven’t I ever heard of a blood oath?”
“It’s something that Rho is trying to stamp out. A blood oath forges a connection between the participants. Sometimes memories are passed back and forth or perhaps it’s emotions. My blood is in your veins…and yours is in mine.”
“I barely broke the skin when I nipped you.”
“Words are powerful things.”
A scowl crossed Ethan’s face. “What did you say when you whispered to me in French?”
Victoria grinned slyly. “You should have paid better attention to your French instructor.”
“How did-that doesn’t matter. Don’t you have somewhere to go?”
“No.” Slipping back on the bed Victoria watched as Ethan scowled down at her.
“I don’t have time for this! What game are you playing?”
“I’m not playing a game. You can’t kill him.”
Silence fell in the room and Ethan’s eyes narrowed. “I can’t kill who?”
“Caine. I want him.”
“I want him dead.”
“If you give him to me you won’t see him again.”
“If I give him to you?”
Victoria nodded. “There’s something about him…I want him.”
“Oh for fuck’s sake! You want to have sex with him so you want me to spare his life?”
“No, I don’t want to have sex with him. He’s different, better, stronger than you can imagine. Can’t you imagine the taste of him? The-”
Ethan cut of her off. “So you want him as a midnight snack.”
“I can give you his mate in exchange for him. That would torture him.”
“His WHAT?!”
Ethan started to reach for her, to yank her up and shake some answers from her, but as fast as he blinked Victoria was standing in front of the mirror fully clothed with an amused expression on her face.
“Keep up mongrel,” she taunted ignoring his snarl. She watched as his fists clenched and unclenched. She could hear his heart hammering in his chest and saliva pooled in her mouth. She would never be able to go back to the concoction Rho had made to sate their blood lust. Not after drinking straight from a source. Feeling the skin resist then give away, having the blood, warm and rich, fill her mouth. There was nothing like it in the world.
“I’ve probably been missed. I can’t go back to my clan now. You’ll have to find me some place to go.”
“When will you bring me Caine?”
“In due time. Promise on our blood oath that you won’t kill him. That you’ll give him to me.”
“I promise,” he said aloud. Inwardly he smiled. He never promised to give Caine to her alive.
“Good.” Leaning in she pressed a firm kiss to his mouth. Her fingers fluttered over the small, nearly invisible, puncture wounds. She smiled when he shuddered.
“I’ll return tonight. We’ll come up with a plan then.”

I’m a liar! I KNOW! I know I said that the next prompt would be about Caine, Alana and the gang but I realized I had left this loose end and I had to pull it back. Next prompt! For serious! And I believe this is perhaps the shortest prompt I have ever done. Seriously! O.o These two give me the creeps! *shudders* Their relationship is weird and it’ll get weirder. Yeah…fun! Thanks to dolly_riot for the use of Victoria! Anyways, I have another ‘On the Couch’ up as well so…Happy ♥ Day!
I hope she eats him alive slowly and with dull fangs. I mean Ethan. Talk about a couple from hell. “When will you bring me Caine.” Miss Vicky sure does think Ethan can produce. I love the cold light in this one.
and I love short pieces! Gives me time to read them and enjoy the visuals. Love it love it!!

LOL!!! Well, there’s a visual!
But yeah, Ethan really deserves no pity. And why she just doesn’t go get Caine herself is beyond me. Although Caine really wouldn’t just walk off with her. There’s something about her that rubs him the wrong way.
Thanks!
The lightening worked itself out so I didn’t really have to do any fiddling. I think it has to do with the wall color I picked!
It was weird! It took me FOREVER to get these five shots but only 30 minutes to write it! *shakes head*
Thanks Beth!

I can wait for Alana and Caine if I have these two to enjoy in the meantime.
I think Ethan has gotten in too far over his head and he’s deluded himself into thinking otherwise. Hurray for being brought into the loop about Alana! Not that the poor girl doesn’t have enough problems, but more opportunities for Alana to be kidnapped equals more opportunities for Caine to come to the rescue.
For some reason, Victoria doesn’t worry me. Caine isn’t going to surrender without a hell of a fight and it’s not like she has the most support.

Ha!! I don’t know if we’ll be seeing them for awhile. But who knows? I write as I go along!
Man, he’s so far gone it’s unbelievable. He thinks he’s better than he actually is which is going to come back and hit him HARD! And he might get more than he bargained for trying to snatch Alana. Just saying…
Victoria doesn’t worry me either…but she might surprise me. She doesn’t have her clan to go back to which means she’s fair game to any rogue since they know there will be no repercussions.

OOOOOOOOOh the thick plottens

YAY for thickening plots!
[Reply]
Villains team up!, that’s always great.
(tho I did knew Rho wouldn’t kill her or something)
Hm, Victoria thinks Ethan is underestimating Caine, but still thinks he can get him for her? Big mistake, me thinks.
I liked the chapter before, nice to see Vivian is still in the game, I’m still hoping for a Nolan-Viv pairing

Isn’t it though!? It usually ends up in double crossing though! Hmm…
She knows that Ethan has valuable resources from both the vamps and Lycans while she really doesn’t have any now. And it is a mistake but one she won’t see until too late I think!
Thanks!
Hey…who knows you might get your wish! *whistles innocently* Rho thinks of everyone as wounded birds. He likes to nurse things back to health.
[Reply]
Now that is one horrific combination

It is indeed Van! It is indeed!!

Its amusing that she actually believes Ethan is going to get her Caine. If he could he would have long ago…Once again Ethan’s woman is going to have to do the work herself. This seems to be a recurring pattern.
On another note that first pic with Ethans ass..fucking fantastic
He’s a dick but I would never turn him away in bed. Unless he’s tiny.

Isn’t it though? Although she may have some other plan in mind? Who knows? Victoria is devious and now, with her having drank straight from a source, she’s going to start wanting it more and more. Blood lust is never good.
LMAO!!! I was thinking: “I know someone is a butt person. Who is it? Who…ah, Sinclair is going to love that first pic!” I remembered your other comment from when Caine was on the roof and his “bubble butt” LOL!!
Ethan ain’t tiny!
And he does know what he’s doing…even if he is a prick!
[Reply]
Hmmm..so we can expect both to turn on each other! interesting partnership.

Pretty much. Neither one trusts the other. Although I’m sure they’ll continue to sleep with each other. I don’t know if Victoria is doing some allure type thing or if Ethan is just a dirty dog(not really since he and Dom were never officially married.) I just think he’s a douche!
[Reply]
Ugh.. just as I was thinking ‘Hey what happened to Ethan?’ he shows up. With Victoria in tow. All he wants is Caine dead! And his son is probably with Caine plotting against his stupid blood oath vampire head person-thing. UGH!
But great update ;]

LMAO!! Sorry!!
Yeah, that’s why I tossed this one out there! I hadn’t heard from Ethan in awhile and then THIS just popped into my head! Fabulous! NOT!
I’ll get more into the blood oath thing. Rho will probably explain it better!
Thank you!
[Reply]
They were made for each other. Or at least they deserve each other

I think it’s the latter!
Haha! I can’t imagine these two together for any length of time without going for blood…in a non vampire way I mean!
[Reply]
I figured Victoria would pull some sort of stunt. Ethan really is a tool isn’t he? I don’t think he has any idea what he is up against with Victoria.

February 17th, 2010 at 8:13 AM
Ha! Yeah, he is. He focuses on his imaginary end result to the exclusion of everything else. Bad…VERY bad idea!
She’s a woman is his way of thing. He’s a douche like that!
[Reply]
Sorry I fell behind! Gah! This is not good and Ethan, you are a huge douchebag idiot face. What the hell? He deserves whatever Victoria ends up doing with him.
I don’t think I like her interest in Caine, either!

No worries! I’m still playing catch up with your stories!
RL sucks sometimes!
AMEN!!! So true! And nah, it’s not good but neither one of them see that. Victoria might but everyone knows she’s just out there! Like whoa!
She freaks me out with that interest. She’s weird toward him for various reasons!
[Reply]
OMG that’s it…that’ the last post. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Falls to her knees, head hanging down.

[Reply]
I hope they will kill each other before they get Caine…
Victoria maske me sick… she really is worst than Ethan in so many ways…

So true Sandy! She’s WAY worse than Ethan but they’re alike in so many ways. Hopefully they will kill each other but I don’t think so!
[Reply]
Oh dear she’s a cold one isnt she! She wants Caine, Ethan wants Caine and the blood oathe!!! Dear heavens what a dangerous mix 80)
