Professor Jayce MacKenzie walked
along the quiet sidewalk at 6'30 am heading to the English literature building,
class wasn't scheduled until 10am but she had test papers to get ready for her
students midterm. At the ripe old age of 21 she had received her full professorship
at Shepardstown college. Those who knew her knew she got the position because
of her brains and hard work. Others thought it was because of her fathers influence
in business dealings and Government contacts. That was one of the reasons why
Jayce moved across the country, to get away from her families influence. However,
her fathers reputation followed her anyway to this little town in West Virginia.
@@@@@@
Jackson MacKenzie flew in on
his private jet to a small airstrip outside of Martinsburg. He decided to drop
in on his eldest daughter on his way back from a meeting in Washington DC. His
meeting had been with a person on the inside of the FBI, who had his fingers
into just about everything. He had completed his task and now Jackson had what
he needed in the pocket of his suit jacket. With this information he would be
free and clear to do what ever he wanted and no one could stand in his way.
@@@@@@@@@
Jayce was in her small office,
after getting her papers together she took the time to sit back and relax. Her
office was no bigger than a closet but being only 5 foot 5 she didn't need a
whole lot of space. She had transposed all her paperwork onto CD's so she didn't
need to waste space on filing cabinets like the other professors. That left
her space for her full size futon where she took her afternoon naps before her
evening class. She closed the large plastic container that she had for all her
Lit course CD's and put it back on the shelf beside the other container that
held music and programming CD's. She kept on meaning to get another container
but never seemed to remember when she was at the store. Running her fingers
through her short blond hair that always looked as if she never combed it, although
she did. She got up and went over to curl up on her futon until it was time
to try and teach the kids the difference between Literature and comic books.
With in minutes her green eyes closed and her breathing deepened.
@@@@@@@@@
A black Limo pulled up outside
of an apartment building, Jackson got out and headed towards his daughters apartment.
He wasn't quit sure of her schedule but thought he would check here before going
to her office. After getting no answer at her door he went back to the Limo.
He told his driver to head to the campus. He had the strangest feeling but didn't
know what it was; he finally put it down as jet lag. As they neared the building
his unease doubled. The Limo stopped and he got out and walked towards the doors,
the hair on the back of his neck stood up and then he heard a popping sound.
Pain shot through his back, he stumbled and hit the doors. Looking down at his
white shirt he saw a red stain growing with each beat of his heart. His lungs
burned with every breath as he stumbled down the hall to Jayce's office, pushing
through her door he fell sideways against the shelves on her wall knocking everything
to the floor. Jayce flew up from the futon from the horrendous crash, her green
eyes blurry from sleep. "What the Hell was that?" She mumbled to herself
as she swung her legs over to the floor. She heard her name being called and
looked on the opposite side of her desk. A scream trapped itself in her throat
when she saw her father laying on the floor with his shirtfront soaked in blood.
"Oh my Gods!" She
dropped to her knees next to him; his eyes fluttered open to look at her. "I
seemed to have had an accident." He pressed his hand to his chest and moaned.
Tears flowed from her eyes. "Daddy, don't move." She went to the other
side of her office and grabbed the phone to call for help. Jackson reached inside
his pocket and pulled the CD out and looked at it, he knew it was the reason
he was dying. He coughed and blood bubbled from his lips, he knew that his time
left on this earth was very near. "Jayce." He called to her. After
hanging up the phone she went back to where her father was laying, pulling him
into her lap she brushed his blond hair off of his forehead. "You'll be
OK daddy, help is on the way." His green eyes looked up at her, a small
grin tried to come to his lips but a sharp pain shot through his chest. Gasping
his last words he told her that he loved her, before she could say anything
his eyes faded before her and lost all life. A high keening sound came from
her throat, sounding much like a wounded animal. She felt like her insides had
just been torn to shreds. She rocked her father in her arms for a while, pleading
for him to wake up although she knew he was gone. She was starting to get pissed
because the ambulance should have already been there by now. Laying her father
down she ran out of her office to go outside to look for the ambulance. She
never saw the dark figure who was standing at the other end of the hallway enter
her office.
Black leather gloves searched
through Jackson's pocket, finding the CD they left as they had came, undetected.
The ambulance was just making
the turn to come to the Lit building when a motorcycle just missed hitting the
side of it, the rider kicked the rear tire sideways and took the motorcycle
up onto the sidewalk. Jayce was leaning against the building sobbing when the
motorcycle blew past her. She saw what had almost been an accident but the shock
of having her father die in her arms threw her mind in a different direction
where the near crash didn't matter.
@@@@@@@@@@@
The weather in Sacramento was
cool and breezy for the hundreds of people who attended the funeral of Congressman
Jackson MacKenzie. Cars lined up all along the cemetery and nearby streets.
Police had closed off roads to make getting to the cemetery easier for the long
procession of cars. Jayce stood dressed in black and stood beside her mother
and sister as the priest read from the bible. She never saw the person watching
her from a distance. However, a feeling of danger assaulted her senses, making
the hair stand up on the back of her neck. Cold chills coursed through her body
making her shiver and hug herself tighter. Blaming it on the great amount of
stress she had been under, she had spent hours with the police and the FBI telling
them the little she knew of what happened that day in her office. And now she
was being questioned here in California also, she tried to tell the FBI that
she had no idea why someone would shoot her father and that she hadn't seen
him in almost 6 months. She loved her family dearly but she couldn't wait to
get back home and hide until everything calmed down, if it ever did.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita Scalani's boss was pissed;
the CD he had received was not the one that he had sent one of his people to
get off of the Congressman. The one he got had some kind of English Literature
lecture on it. That meant that the daughter, Jayce MacKenzie had the real one.
He gave orders to his best employee to get it back. So now Nikita watched from
her hiding place, ice blue eyes scanned the area around the apartment building
where the woman she was suppose to observe lived. She had never saw her in person,
all she had to go by where pictures taken at the funeral. In a deep voice she
spoke to herself. "About damn time!" She stood up straighter as she
saw Jayce come out of her apartment and start walking towards the main part
of Shepardstown which was 3 blocks away. Which gave her maybe 15 to 20 minutes
to get into her apartment and search for the CD. Her boss told her to do what
ever it took to get it and then to take out MacKenzie. They didn't want to take
a chance on her telling someone what was on the CD.
She waited an extra couple of
minutes just to make sure that Jayce wasn't coming back for anything she may
have forgotten. When it was clear Nikita made her way to the door, inspecting
the simple lock on the door handle she gave out a disappointed sigh.
"Child's play." She
said as she slipped a piece of plastic between the door and frame and opened
the door. The apartment was small, inside the door was the living room and kitchen
separated by just a short bar. One small table sat against the kitchen wall
with one chair and a barstool under it. Nikita started checking the living room
first, it took a whole two minutes. All that was there was an old couch and
a small TV set sitting on plastic milk crates. "So this is how a Congressman's
kid lives? I know damn well he lives in a fucking mansion." She spoke aloud
in the bare little room. Her next stop was the kitchen; she was beyond disgust
when she opened the cabinets. The first one she opened had a couple boxes of
Mac and Cheese and Minute Rice, the generic kind. She had no plates except paper
ones, a coffee cup and glass, even her silverware was plastic, she found a small
frying pan and pot. She was getting frustrated and pissed, frustrated because
she hadn't found the CD and pissed because she knew homeless people who had
more in their little shanties than a Congressman's daughter had in her apartment.
Nikita had no love for the male gender; actually humans would fit the bill better.
She had lived a life of pain and horror given to her at the hands of men and
watched as the women walked away and left her to pick up the shattered pieces
after the men were done with her. Closing the last of the cabinet doors she
went down the hallway to the bathroom. She didn't even bother looking in there,
all it had were the basics except there was no vanity or medicine cabinet, just
a mirror above the sink.
Her last stop was the bedroom.
In the middle of the floor was a twin bed with the blankets and sheets hanging
off onto the floor. On the far wall was a small 4-drawer dresser. She went through
each one carefully. She didn't want Jayce to know someone had been there. She
knew for a fact that someone with so little could tell if the tiniest thing
was out of place. She pulled the closet door open to find a couple of dress
shirts and a pair of cowboy boots that should have been buried 10 years ago.
She stepped back and planted her hands on her narrow hips, turning on one heel
she looked around the room again. However, she knew she hadn't missed anything
except for the picture sitting on the dresser. She went over and picked it up.
It showed a small woman with short blond hair her beautiful warm green eyes
smiling at the camera. Her arm was wrapped around another woman who looked to
be about the same age, her hair was a darker blond and hung over her shoulders
in long curls, her eyes held a mystery as to the what color they were. Somewhere
between a green and blue with a lot of golden flakes sparkling through them.
Her smile was warm and inviting and you could almost see the connection between
the two women.
"Damn good looking women!"
Nikita mumbled to herself. "Get off it, you got a better chance at becoming
the next Pope than getting a date!" She replaced the picture and left the
apartment. She would have to wait until later to check Jayce's office. For know
she would go back to her hotel room and take a breather, maybe take a shower
and get something to eat. She was exhausted and hadn't had any sleep in 2 days.
@@@@@@@
Jayce hesitated before she entered
her office, the cleaning people had straightened up her office but they couldn't
do anything for her memories. She could still picture her father laying on the
floor taking his last breath as she cradled him in her arms. She started to
shiver and her knees grew weak, taking a deep breath she tried to calm her nerves.
"You can do this Jayce." She said in a mantra to herself. Slowly she
walked over to her desk and sat down. All her CD's had just been stuffed into
the containers, she left them as is. She would get to them some other time;
today she had canceled her classes so that she could see if she could handle
the fact of coming into her office. The grief she felt was manageable, in fact
she just felt kind of numb with every thing. What she couldn't figure out was
why her father had come to see her. Ever since her family had found out about
her relationship with Jenny, they had in a way disowned her. Saying that no
daughter of there's was a Lesbian and all she needed to do was find a good man
and she would be cured of her evil ways. That sent her right over the edge,
she had never yelled at anyone before, but that day she knew people on the East
Coast probably heard her. She had left that day never to return or speak with
them, if they wouldn't let her explain her relationship then they weren't worth
the trouble.
That week she found out that
her mother had closed out her bank account and had her trust fund frozen indefinitely.
And there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it, the original trust fund
agreement had stated that she would receive half of the amount when she turned
25, but since she had become a full professor and taken the job in West Virginia
the lawyers agreed to give her a quarter of it to help with expenses. Now she
had nothing and 21 thousand dollars a year to live on was nothing. The kids
were making more than that being Managers at McDonalds.
Jayce decided that it was time
to go back to her apartment and work on her true love, writing. She pulled her
laptop from inside her desk drawer and left for home. She was hoping that she
could get a publisher to look at her latest novel, the others she had wrote
she didn't think were good enough to show any one except maybe Jenny. She wondered
how she was doing in New York where she was working on her PHD in Physics. Who
would have known that she was a genius? Hell, hardly any one knew that Jayce
herself had graduated from High School at the age of 15 and became a professor
just 6 short years later. Child prodigies weren't often heard of and if they
were then they were either into composing huge musical pieces or doing brain
surgery. So being a prodigal Bard as she refereed to herself was unheard of.
@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita sat in one of the chairs
in her hotel room, with one leg thrown over the arm and the other bent at the
knee where she rested her hand with her cell phone. Her boss was not happy that
she had not found the CD yet, what the Hell did he want her to do? She asked
herself as she half listened to his ranting and raving over the phone. She would
love to put a bullet between his Chinese eyes but that would have to wait until
this job was over. Then she would have to disappear for the rest of her life
into hiding from the Triads. She always thought they were just a bunch of puny
ass little thugs that just happened to have big guns to back them up. Now with
them wanting that CD, she knew differently. That little round disk would make
them the most powerful Mafia around.
She could hear Mi Tao dwindle
down and tell here to get it or else; she grunted and hung up. "Fuck you
needle dick!" She yelled as she threw the phone into her laptop bag. Tossing
the last of her clothes on the floor she got into the shower; with in two seconds
she was peeling off the paint in the room with her cursing.
"What the fuck is wrong
with this world!? Are all the damn people 3 foot tall!?!" She open hand
slapped the showerhead upwards. Now she felt like she was outside trying to
take a shower in the rain. Grinding her teeth she put it back to its normal
position, at the center of her chest. To be able to get all the soap off of
her 6-foot frame she had to practically kneel in the shower. She thought taking
a nice hot shower would relax her but all it did was piss her off when she had
to do yoga just to get under the showerhead.
After drying off she put the
towel around her neck and dropped onto the bed. She never wore anything when
she slept; it always made her feel constricted. So when there was a knock on
her door she answered it as is and scared the Hell out of the poor kid delivering
her room service. When she shut the door he was still standing there frozen
and slack jawed. She chuckled as she pulled the lid off of her food. "I
love doing that!" Grabbing a Black and Tan from the six pack she had bought
she flipped on the TV and settled down at the small table to eat.
@@@@@@@@@
Jayce thrashed in her small
bed, her sweat drenched T-shirt wrapped around her arms holding her prisoner.
She kept trying to get to her father but she was being held back by something
she couldn't see. She kept screaming for him but no words would come out of
her mouth. She jerked awake, gasping for air and trying to untangle herself
from her shirt. She pulled it over her head and flung it to the floor, sweat
soaked her hair and ran down her back and between her firm breasts. Cursing
the apartment manager for not fixing the small air conditioner in her window
she got up to turn on the small fan she had picked up that day at Dollar General.
"I should go steal the
son of a bitches air conditioner from his window and see if he likes to stew
in his own sweat!" She couldn't get back to sleep; she was to shaken up
from the dream. Grabbing a bottle of water she dropped down on her couch and
watched some senseless thing on her small TV until she dozed off. She dreamed
now of large strong hands holding her but with a gentleness she didn't expect
from them. They were comforting and seductive in a way; she felt her body reacting
to them. Then she woke up feeling frustrated. Pulling on sweat pants and a shirt
she went out the door to take a walk, hoping that it would give her some peace
so that she could get some sleep.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita's bed looked like it
had been hit by a tornado, the linens where halfway across the room along with
her pillow. She lay spread eagle on her stomach, her body twitching and twisting.
The mattress muffled her screams. Her back and shoulder muscles bunged, raising
her chest up off of the bed, with one last scream she woke. Her long black hair
soaking wet from sweat hung in her face, what was left on the bed was soaked
as well. She rolled to her feet and pushed her hair off of her face, taking
a deep breath she calmed her jittery nerves. Grabbing a pair of silk running
shorts she pulled them on along with a sports bra and her worn out Puma cross
trainers.
@@@@@@@@@@
Her long muscular legs carried
her down the sidewalk towards the college track. At this time of the night she
knew no one would be around, making it perfect for her. She was on her 6th lap
when she got the feeling that she was being watched. Looking over her shoulder
she saw a small figure standing along side the fence that encircled the track.
She slowed trying to see their features to determine if they were dangerous.
As she got closer she could make out tousled blond hair, when she jogged past
brilliant green eyes watched her. She almost stumbled over her feet, coming
down to a walk she bent over at the waist and took in deep breaths. Usually
she ran 5 miles a day and never even broke a sweat, for some reason just seeing
those green eyes made her loose her breath. Then it hit her, that was MacKenzie!
She looked under her arm to find no one there. Could she be seeing things? Possibly,
would it be the first time? Nope! Was she insane? Depended on who you asked.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Jayce wasn't thinking, she just
started walking and ended up at the track. She was amazed and then spell bound
as she watched the tall dark woman run on the track, her panther like movements
so fluid and natural that she looked almost like an apparition. Her long black
hair flowing out behind her with every stride, her feet hit the track soundlessly.
Jayce watched as the muscles flexed in her legs and arms, she could hear her
heart beat louder in her chest as the woman drew closer. She caught the ice
blue eyes by the moonlight and her breath caught. For once in her life words
were lost to her. Then she noticed that the dark woman faltered in her steps
and she knew she had been found out, she didn't want to have to explain why
she had been staring so she did the next best thing, she ran away.
"I'm such a chicken shit!"
She mumbled to herself. "For the first time in my life I wish that I was
athletic! Then what? Chase her all over the track? Right and have her beat the
shit outta me thinking I'm some kinda pervert or something!" She chuckled
at the picture that formed in her head of her chasing and then being chased
as she screamed bloody murder all the way back home.
@@@@@@@@@@@
All sweaty and feeling a bit
tired Nikita slumped in a chair, all she could think of was green eyes watching
her run on the track. "Maybe I scared her away from her usual exercise?
Hell, I know some other way for her to get some exercise!" A smirk rose
on her lips. "Here we go again me talking to myself! Maybe I should get
a pet or something or psychological help?" Her mind was running full speed
at what she would love to do to a little green eyed blond. It all came to a
screeching halt when she realized that she would have to kill her in the end.
It didn't sit well with her, she never liked killing women and she knew this
time, it would really hurt. Jayce MacKenzie did not look like the criminal sort,
but what was she to do?
############
Jayce ran right to the bathroom
and turned the shower on cold, throwing her sweats in the hamper she held her
breath and jumped in. A loud yell burst from her chest the second the ice cold
water hit her skin.
"FUUUCK MEEE!! For the
love of Gods this is fucking ridiculous!"
She jumped out of the shower
and leaned in as far as she could with out getting near the water to turn it
off, standing in the middle of the floor shivering she could do nothing but
laugh at herself. "I guess that little voyeuristic episode just showed
me that I can't handle watching women exercise, unless I take a cooler full
of ice cubes!" She padded to her bedroom and found a long extra large shirt
to put on, it was kind of senseless to go back to bed considering she would
have to get up in another 2 hours. But she was exhausted, not as much physically
but mentally she was a mess.
@@@@@@@@@
Jayce rolled over and noticed
that light was pouring through her window blinding her. She stretched her aching
muscles, moaning deeply at the pull in her legs. Rolling over she looked at
the clock and almost had a heart attack, it was 5 minutes to 10 and she had
a class at 10 sharp. Tripping and falling out of her bed she crawled the rest
of the way to her dresser. While still on the floor she pulled on a pair of
sweats, forgoing the socks she slipped her feet into her cross trainers. Scrambling
to her feet she ran through her apartment and out the door. She took off at
a dead run down the sidewalk that would lead her to the Lit Building. Pedestrians
jumped out of the crazy looking little blondes way, her hair stuck up all over
her head and her T-shirt was on backwards, really a scary sight.
Crystal blue eyes sparkled with
amusement from where Nikita sat in the coffee shop, she knew Jayce's schedule
from watching her the last few days and was wondering why she hadn't seen her
yet. She watched her high tail it across the street and down the sidewalk. A
wicked thought inched its way into her mind. "She looks like she dressed
in a hurry after having sex. Where the Hell did that come from...experience?
Hardly! Must be all those movies I've seen."
@@@@@@@
Winded and sweating like a pig
Jayce stumbled the last few feet into the classroom, her students looked at
her with wide eyes, she could hear snickers coming from behind her.
"Sorry, I over slept this
morning." She told them as she walked on trembling legs to the podium.
One student whispered loud enough for her to here. "Likely story when your
shirts on backwards." Looking down at her shirt without looking like she
was failed miserably, her face turned 10 shades of red. Clearing her throat
she tried to gain some composure to be able to teach them something other than
using adjectives to describe her appearance.
Walking back and forth in front
of her students, using her hands to enunciate her words and looking like she
was swatting flies at the same time, she told them a story of a fierce woman
warrior. She never noticed the addition to her class as a very tall blue eyed
woman took a seat in the back of the room.
Nikita was held captive through
out the entire class, the energy Jayce showed as she spoke. It came from the
heart, Nikita could visualize the scenes she was describing for them as swords
clashed and solders died at the hand of the warrior. After the class was finished,
she was slow to rise from her seat; she was in total awe of the little blond.
Not to mention a little smitten as well. As she finally rose she caught the
green eyes staring at her in recognition. Nikita gave her a small smile and
walked through the door, before she was all the way out she heard Jayce say.
"It's you." Her job just got more complicated; she would have to play
this one a different way. Ways that they would both win in the end.
@@@@@@@@
Jayce walked with stiff legs
into her office, they hurt like Hell from her run home last night and even worse
now since she had sprinted all the way to class. Standing near her desk she
tried to stretch the knotted muscles in her legs by bending over and touching
her toes, she groaned and wondered how her legs had gotten so long that she
was so far away from the floor with her hands. "If I keep this up I'll
need a walker to get around!" She forced out through her clenched teeth.
Falling into her chair with her legs sticking straight out in front of her she
dropped her arms over the sides of the arms and took deep pain filled breaths.
"I promise to exercise more, please just stop the pain!" She spoke
to those little snickering voices in her head. "OK, OK, so sitting on the
couch watching Thinner Thighs in 30 days doesn't count. It's the thought right?"
Bending her knees she pulled her chair around so that she could move her chair
into the desk opening. A picture raced through her head of her sitting in her
office chair and rolling all the way home. Or grabbing a bumper and having a
car pull her there. She was still lost in her musings when she heard a knock
on her door; giving the leave me alone I'm dreaming tone of voice she said,
"Come in."
A young Asian man peeked around
the corner of the door at her, a smile came to his face as he saw that her hair
was still wild looking and she had a lost kind of look on her face.
"Excuse me, I'm Danny Chang.
I just transferred here from Calf. State and today was my first day in your
class. I was wondering if you could tell me what's expected of me for the remainder
of your class."
Jayce was surprised at how mannerly
the young man was, and that he really seemed to care about the class. She told
him to take a seat and she would print up the stuff she had given the others
at the beginning of the course. Then answer any questions he had.
@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita watched the Asian go
into Jayce's office; a stab of betrayal went to her fast beating heart. She
replayed the conversation she had with her boss and found no mention of him
sending someone else to do the job. But who knows, the little foot sliding fucker
was Psychotic. She would have to move soon, that was for sure and watch her
own back. Moving from where she stood to a more concealed place she was bidding
her time until Jayce left her office. She had to take the chance and look for
that CD before Chang got it. If he did it would be all over for her, they'd
find her body minus her head and hands.
She waited patiently for Jayce
and Chang to leave, no sooner had they left the doors then she was sneaking
around the corner of the building and entering. Casually walking down the hall
she came to the office door. She tried to the handle and found it open. That
was unusual, but then Jayce was in a hurry today and most likely forgot her
keys at home. Or Chang had done something to the lock and planned to come back,
which meant she didn't have much time. She slipped in and inspected the door
latch; sure enough a piece of thick clear tape was over the latch keeping it
from locking.
"Fix his illegal alien
ass." She mumbled while she peeled the tape off of the door. Scanning the
office she found the plastic containers of CD's, quickly she flipped through
them to only see Lit course stuff, programming and music. There were about 20
or so that had no labels on them, so the one she needed could be one of them.
She didn't expect it to have a sticker that said "NO PEEPING TOP SECRET!"
On the thing. Although that would have been nice. She flipped each one over
to the side where the information would have been stored and after 15 of them
she found one that had the tell tale discoloration of having been used. She
slipped it into her pocket and left. She felt like the world had been lifted
off of her shoulders at this point, she had what she had come for now to make
sure nothing else went wrong.
@@@@@@@@@
Chang watched to see where Jayce
went after they parted, he had to get that CD before that amazonian bitch Nikita
did. His life depended on it, plus if he took them both out he would move up
in the ranks of the organization and be known as the one who killed Nikita Scalani.
The coast was clear for him to double back to her office and search for the
CD. His time would be extended to search since he didn't have to pick the lock.
He was as careful as Nikita
at searching; he tossed stuff around the office and destroyed delicate things
under his feet. Dumping the CD's out on the desk he rummaged through all of
them to find nothing. His temper flared and burst through his body to form into
a temper tantrum. Kicking the chair over and flipping the desk onto its side
seemed to help. When he left he slammed the door so hard that the glass window
on the door shattered into thousands of pieces. There was only once place left
to look and that was her apartment.
@@@@@@@@@@
Jayce was working on her novel,
she had done her usual 6 bites and then she saved it to disc, overwriting the
previous save. She pulled her laptop bag out and searched every pocket looking
for the disc. It wasn't there, she then remembered laying it down on her desk
and then putting it in one of the containers when she and Chang had left. It
wouldn't have been a problem if she had another blank CD but they were all in
her office. She would take the extra few minutes and run back and get it, she
had learned her lesson the last time her Laptop crashed taking with it hours
of typing. Saving it to her hard drive, she closed out Microsoft works, and
left just her background picture of Xena and Gabrielle.
Giving her laptop a stern look
she threatened it "Now listen, don't you scan disk, defrag or virus check
nothing! Or I'll replace your with a Pentium 4 tower! I'll be right back."
Running out the door she lurched past the same pedestrians from earlier. This
time they stood slack jawed at the hunch back of Notre Dame way of running she
was doing. What really scared them was the grunting and growling noises that
were coming out from between her clenched teeth. She flashed her bloodshot eyes
at them and kept going.
Jayce froze when she saw that
her door had been ruined. Stepping over the glass into her office was a bigger
shock. Everything was destroyed. Tears came to her eyes and trailed down her
cheeks, her emotions had been on edge since her fathers murder and now this.
She searched out the phone and called the campus police and reported the break
in. Giving them her home number she told them when they were done to call her
there.
@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita was fuming; she had just
finished looking at the CD she had taken from Jayce's office. It had the beginning
of a novel on it not the stuff she so desperately needed. "Fuck! It's got
to be in her office!" Instead of running over she jumped on her Harley,
with in 3 minutes she was pulling up to the building to only make a U turn and
leave. Two campus police cars were parked outside the building. She knew that
Chang had been sloppy as usual and for some reason someone had found his mess.
A bad feeling went through her chest, piercing in its form of pain.
@@@@@@@@
Jayce came through her apartment
door to confront a person dressed in all black with a hood covering his entire
head except for his eyes. A partially gloved hand muffled her scream; the other
cocked back and hit her in her jaw stunning her. Colors flashed before her eyes
and a loud roaring filled her ears before everything went black. She didn't
know how much time had passed, she tried to get up off of her bed only to find
that she was laying spread eagle on her stomach and stark naked. Pulling on
her wrists she fought the ropes that bound her to the headboard; the same went
for her ankles. All she could think of was she was going to be raped, and left
for someone to come find her after she missed so many of her appointments. Hot
tears poured from her eyes and soaked the sheet beneath her cheek.
"I see you have finally
come to from your little nap." Chang leaned down close to her face; his
brown slanted eyes filled with hatred and something she couldn't determine.
"I want the CD!" Jayce had no idea what he was talking about; she
had many CD's how was she suppose to know...Dad! Now she knew why her father
had been murdered, he had something that this guy wanted. But she didn't know
where it was.
"What CD? I don't know
what you're talking about."
"Bullshit, I know the Congressman
gave it to you and I want it!"
"I don't have it! Please
let me go I won't tell..." She heard a whistling noise then pain shot through
her back. Her chest pushed down into the mattress as she felt it again.
"I want the CD! I will
torture you until I find out where it is! Now tell me!" He moved to the
other side of the bed, the whip held at the ready.
"I don't..." Her body
jerked at the contact, she could feel heat lance her flesh and then a warmth
run down her ribcage. Stars fought for space among her blurring vision, she
could hardly hear his voice for the roaring in her ears. Her breathing was coming
out in great gulping fits. She knew she couldn't with stand much more of this.
"Such a pity that I have
to do this to such a beautiful soft skinned woman. But a jobs a job." He
had moved to the other side again and cracked the whip across her back. She
was beyond screaming her body was numb from shock. She lay unmoving on the bed,
taking shallow breaths. "Lets see how much you can take before your body
shuts down completely?"
@@@@@@@@@
Nikita shut down her Harley
and let it coast to Jayce's front door. She looked through the front window
and saw the mess inside. She knew that Chang had her, but where? Before she
could get the door opened she heard a muffled scream. Rage took over her body;
her muscles tightened and bunged like a panthers before the killing leap. She
took a deep breath and eased the door open, walking on silent feet she went
towards Jayce's bedroom. There stood Chang with his back to her, he brought
the whip over his shoulder. He tried to pull it back to make his cutting blow
but found that it didn't give. He turned to see ice cold blue eyes looking down
on him. Her voice deep like a growl from a lion she asked him one simple question.
"Excuse me, can you tell
me where a good Chinese restaurant is?" He gave her a blank stare; his
brain didn't comprehend what she had asked. She tilted her head at him, her
expression changed into a feral grin, a rumbling came from her chest as she
yanked the whip towards her making him fly right at her fist that she had thrown
up at the last second. A loud crunch was heard, then a thump from him hitting
the floor in a pile.
Looking down at him she watched
his chest moved up and down, she didn't want him dead, she had other plans for
him. Her heart broke when she saw Jayce laying on her bed, stepping on Chang's
chest she pulled a butterfly knife from the back pocket of her black Levi's.
Cutting the ropes on each of Jayce's ankles she moved up to cut the ones on
her wrists. She didn't notice the tears running down her cheeks until a teardrop
fell to land on the little blondes shoulder. Leaning close to Jayce's face she
brushed the sweaty hair from her eyes, blood ran down her bottom lip and chin,
she must have bit her tongue when she felt the whip cut into her back.
Pain tore through Nikita's body when her eyes looked down at the bloody mess
that at one time was soft smooth skin. Her own back caught fire at the memories
the body never forgot. Grabbing the top sheet off of the floor she put it over
Jayce, then rolled her as gently as she could to her back. Wrapping her in the
sheet and then a blanket she picked her up and took her into the living room
where she laid her down on the couch.
Hatred, rage and pure bloodlust
filled every pore of her body; Chang would pay for what he had done. She felt
anger at herself for not being there to protect Jayce from this inhuman act.
She didn't know why but she felt the need to protect this small woman and she
would from now on even if it meant giving her life to do so.
She pulled him up onto the bed
and started to strip him of his clothes, a burning feeling bloomed out from
her chest. Pulling her fist back she put all her strength into a right jab to
his groin, a noise like a piece of raw meat hitting the floor reached her ears,
her feral look came back to her lips.
"Nice jammies, do they
make them in adult sizes?" She balled up his Ninja ghe and the rest of
his weapons that he would have used on Jayce and put them all in a pile. Salvaging
two long pieces of rope she tied his right ankle and wrist together and did
the same on the other side. He looked like he was doing runners stretches. Pulling
the excess rope from one side she pulled his leg and arm up to the headboard
and tied it, the other side was done the same way. Chang was now rolled up onto
the upper part of his shoulders and left to look like he was giving himself
a blowjob.
"I hope you enjoy yourself
when you wake up!" She reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell
phone, hitting the speed dial she waited until it was answered.
"I have a green dragon
for you." She then told the person on the other end where they could find
him. "You owe me." She disconnected the call.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita had Jayce sitting across
her thighs in front of her on her Harley. She pulled around to the side of her
Hotel in front of the emergency fire door exit. She had made sure that when
she checked in that she had disabled the alarm on this door in case she would
have to get to her room unnoticed. She was glad that she had always followed
a routine, because carrying a woman in a sheet and blanket through the lobby
would have gotten her unwanted attention.
@@@@@@
She sat Jayce on the edge of
the tub and held her against her chest, running warm water down across her back
to cleanse the torn flesh. None of the cuts were deep enough to need sutures
but they would leave scars. When she was certain that they were clean she carried
her to the bed and laid her on her stomach so that she could put an antiseptic
salve on her and then cover it with sterile bandages. Nikita couldn't take the
chance on taking her to the emergency room because to many questions would be
asked and then the police would be involved. She had just finished putting the
last piece of tape across a thick gauze surgical pad when her cell phone rang.
"Scalani." She listened
for a second, then went to where she had dropped Chang's clothes. Searching
through the wide cloth belt she found what she was looking for. "I have
it right here, it's a round patch with a lion on a blue background." The
other person asked if there was anything else.
"No, that's it. I'm still
trying to locate that and I have MacKenzie with me." She pulled the phone
away from her ear and just looked at it.
"I shouldn't have to tell
you what he did to her!" She said loud enough for him to know she was pissed
but not to disturb Jayce. "I will handle this my way, I gave you Chang,
which now makes it 2 you owe me since he's been jumping between the Triads and
the Tongs. I'll be in touch." She hung up the phone and searched through
Chang's weapons. She found fighting stars bearing both a green dragon and a
lion.
"You fucking little bastard,
just which one were you going to give the CD to?" She questioned herself.
She pulled a Black and Tan from the small refrigerator and dropped into a chair
next to the bed. She watched the rise and fall of Jayce's back as she slept.
Nikita knew that from what her body had gone through she could very well be
unconscious for a few days. It would help with the healing process and she would
make sure that she was moved so that her skin wouldn't become irritated from
laying in one position to long. Her body was starting to get sluggish from all
the emotional and physical stress, she knew that if she fell asleep in this
chair she would be very sorry and the couch was to damn short, her knees hung
over the arm.
Jayce was out for the count so she didn't have to worry about her waking up
and having a heart attack from waking next to a strange woman.
Pulling her blood spotted shirt
over her head she dropped it into a plastic bag, then put Chang's clothes and
the bloody sheet and blanket in it and tied it closed. She would take it to
the basement later that night and throw it into the incinerator. She carefully
laid down on the edge of the bed next to Jayce, making sure that they were not
touching. Not that in Jayce's condition she would know but because of the feelings
that had surfaced within Nikita when she had found her, only to have them intensify
after she had taken care of her injuries. There was just something about this
little blond that cried out to her soul, she needed to be near her for some
reason that was being kept a secret. She absorbed the heat coming from Jayce,
letting her body relax into the mattress she dropped off into a deep sleep.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Later that night she awoke to
a low keening sound coming from beside her, before her brain had a chance to
work a small fist slugged her in the jaw. The shock of being punched while still
half asleep made her jump and roll from the bed. A loud scream pierced her ears
waking her the rest of the way. She usually slept Very light but with everything
that had happened her body crashed into oblivion. She crawled back onto the
edge of the bed and stretched out next to a struggling Jayce; Pulling her into
her arms she wrapped her long legs around short ones to keep them from kicking
her. Putting her hand on the back of Jayce's head she pulled her cheek down
to rest on her chest. She rocked them from side to side trying to calm her down
so that she wouldn't open up the wounds on her back, whispering nonsense into
her small ear she was amazed at how fast she calmed.
From off at a distance Jayce
could hear a deep soothing voice, and large warm hands touching her. It felt
like a warm blanket had been wrapped around her, comforting her so that she
knew she was safe. She burrowed deeply into this warmth and hung on for dear
life.
Nikita didn't know who was holding
who. Jayce buried her face into her neck and wrapped her arm over the top of
her chest and squeezed her. At one time it was her legs holding Jayce now she
had one thigh across Nikita's hips pinning her down. She then realized that
this felt right, to have Jayce in her arms like this. That was her last thought
as she drifted off to sleep.
@@@@@@@@@
Green eyes fluttered open and
took in the strange surroundings; lifting her head a little she saw the profile
of a strong jaw. Now she was really confused, especially when she noticed that
her hand was resting on top of a very firm incredibly beautiful breast. Her
brain slapped her hard to wake up.
"Here I am in a strange place with my hand on some woman's breast and
we're both..Yep, naked! Damn, I just wish I remembered what happened?"
Her little voice said only to be cut off by the others saying. Who the Hell
cares? Look at you now! I really need to stop talking to them before
they start to think they're really there!"
She placed her head upon the
strong shoulder beneath her cheek, taking a deep breath she could smell obsession
and something almost primal coming form this woman's skin. Her eyes scanned
up to see high cheekbones falling towards a square chin; soft pink lips slightly
open showing white even teeth. As her head turned towards Jayce she saw dark
lashes flutter open to reveal the bluest eyes she has ever seen. A small gasp
came from her lips when she gazed into them; she could fall in and never want
to come back. Watching them focus they changed to a crystal color that reached
right to her soul and set it on fire. Nikita's left eyebrow rose in a questioning
way then dropped when a small grin came over her lips. Jayce wanted nothing
more than to lean up and kiss those lips, instead she raised her fingers and
brushed across them with her finger tips. Feeling the soft moistness sent a
tingling feeling right through her body.
Nikita had never looked into
eyes that could capture a soul like the green of Jayce's, she knew that at times
they would look like the raging sea, how she knew she had no idea. It was almost
like a memory of some sort; maybe she was past due on that doctors visit. However,
if this was insanity she'd take double doses. Taking the smaller hand into her
own she placed a soft kiss on the knuckles. Her sleep thickened voice rumbled
out from her chest.
"How do you feel?"
She asked a startled Jayce as she ran her fingertips across a large bruise on
her chin and jaw. "Does that hurt?"
"No, but evefry fring else
does, owww my ongue hurts."
"Open up, let me see."
Nikita saw where teeth had bit the very tip and side of her tongue, she knew
it hurt like Hell. "You bit your tongue, you'll be OK."
"I ound ike a ork!"
Tears welled in her green eyes, threatening to over flow down her cheeks. Nikita
didn't know why but she placed a soft kiss on her forehead then rested her head
on top of a blond crown. Holding her gently she whispered to her until she felt
her relax against her chest.
"Let me look at your back,
I don't want it to get infected." Green eyes gave her a funny look as to
say what are you talking about?
"Do you remember anything
from yesterday?" The sobs gave her the answer. "It's OK, he won't
ever bother you again, in fact he's making a very nice addition to some jail
pimps pocket right now."
Jayce pulled far enough away
to wipe the tears from her eyes. "How bad?" Dark brows arched upward
over Nikita's nose, her eyes showed nothing but understanding and love. A warm
feeling encased Jayce's heart when she saw this. "oesn't atter, I'm alive.
Gods I ate his!" She touched the tip of her tongue and winced.
"I think I have something
that may help." Nikita pulled away enough to reach the first aid bag alongside
the bed, she searched through it and came out with a small bottle of orange
liquid that was for canker sores but she found it worked as a local numbing
agent for suturing.
"Stick your tongue out."
Jayce drew her brows down and gave Nikita a funny look. "Oh come on, it
won't hurt."
After a few minutes her tongue
didn't hurt but it felt thick.
"Great, now I lisp like
a faggot!" A crooked grin came across her face. "Wanna make prank
phone calls? I could call the college dean's wife and get him in trouble."
"You are bad! Now lay down
and let me take a look at your back."
When she started to ease the
tape off Jayce hissed a few times when she inadvertently removed some of the
peach fuzz on her back.
"Sorry Baby, I didn't know
how else to keep the pads on." Nikita shocked herself by using an endearment.
"Shit, so much for the stoic warrior type...Hell I lost that with one look
from those green eyes." Her little voice informed her.
The whip marks were a brilliant
red but no infection was evident, she knew that she would have to wash the salve
off and put more on and maybe get her a prescription for some antibiotics to
be on the safe side. Jayce was lucky that she was here to take care of her.
When she had been whipped she was dumped in a filthy room and almost died because
of the infection that ravaged her body. If not for the kind hearted May who
snuck medicine to her she would have died.
"Jayce, can you stand?"
"I don't know. How did
I get here to begin with?"
"I'll fill you in as soon
as I get this salve off of your back and redress it."
@@@@@@@@@
Jayce was in the same spot as
the night before; she clung to Nikita's body while she washed the old salve
off. Numerous times she hissed between her teeth at the pain of the raw skin.
Tears flowed down her cheeks to trickle down across Nikita's breasts. Nikita
was ready to cry from having to put her through so much pain but she knew if
she didn't do this there could be a problem. Once she was done she helped her
to her feet and held her as she cried.
"You'll be OK, I know it
hurts but it'll be better in a few days." Her words didn't sound to reassuring
to her own ears but she didn't know what else to say. She wasn't use to talking
that much or giving comfort.
"I want to see what it
looks like."
"Why don't you wait a few
days, then it won't be so bad."
"No..... This is really
bad! You save my life, take care of me, I'm walking around completely naked
in front of you, not to mention we slept in the same bed and I don't even know
your name!"
"You said all that with
out taking a breath! Unbelievable!" She chuckled at the intense look on
Jayce's face. "Sorry, I couldn't resist and you look so cute when you're
flustered." She busted up laughing when she got a good impression of her
own cocked eyebrow look. "Okay, I don't usually introduce myself when I
look like this." She held her arms out showing her wide muscular shoulders
and other assets still uncovered by clothes. But...what the Hell. I'm Nikita
Scalani, nice to see you naked." Grinning at Jayce's deep blush caused
by her last words she stuck her hand out.
"Nice to see you ahhh..."
Giving Nikita the once over she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and
wiggled her eyebrows at her. "Very naked to." She grinned in a lecherous
way and asked for a mirror.
"I'm gonna look if I have
to go out in the hallway and find a big mirror."
"Oohh all right, just give
me a minute." When she turned to leave the bathroom Jayce saw the scars
on her back; they went from each shoulder to hip and crossed in the middle forming
a huge X. Pain throbbed in her own back at the sight of the white lines that
although they were old still showed so brightly against her tanned skin. She
wondered what kind of animal would do that to someone. Nikita came back in and
handed her a shaving mirror; she stood in front of her as she angled it so that
she could see the reflection from the mirror behind her. Her face went ash white
at first sight, her bottom lip started to tremble as well as her legs. She started
to sink to the floor, but Nikita picked her up and carried her into the other
room. She sobbed against Nikita's breast for a long period before she was able
to ask her why he had done this to her.
"It's the way the Tongs
and Triads torture people to get information out of them."
"But why me, I'm a college
professor! I don't even know who the Tongs or Triads are."
"They're one of the Asian
Mafia's, Chang is from California."
"But what has it got to
do with me?"
"It's not you so to speak,
it was what your father had that they want. And they will do what ever needs
to be done to get the information."
Jayce sat with her mouth hanging
open. She was stunned with this information; she still didn't know anything.
Then she remembered what he had kept asking for. "He wanted a CD. But I
don't have it, and if my father had it he never gave it to me." Tears came
to her eyes and flowed down her cheeks. "Niki, he died in my arms, there
wasn't anything I could do to help him!" Nikita caught the shortening of
her name and although no one had ever dared call her that she didn't mind that
Jayce had. She pulled her into her arms and let her grieve for her father.
"We have to find that CD
before they send someone to replace Chang." She placed a kiss on the blond
head and held her closer. "But first I think we should put some clothes
on, we don't want to scare all the tourists away again."
Misty green eyes looked up at
her. "What do you mean again?"
"I was in the coffee shop
yesterday morning when you went running by looking like a crazy person."
"Ohh...I over slept and
was in a hurry." Her brows drew down over her nose. "Were you watching
me?"
Nikita thought she had been
caught but thought fast to get herself out of a near mistake. "No, but
I couldn't help but notice people on the side walk scattering in all directions."
"Ohh, I guess I looked
kinda rough, even my students were making comments."
Blue eyes twinkled at her. "Like
what?"
"They thought I was late
because I was having sex with somebody. If that were true I would have missed
the whole day instead of being a few minutes late."
Wicked thoughts went through
Nikita's dirty little mind of how many hours she would like to spend exploring
Jayce's secrets.
"Is that a hint at a personal
record?"
"Huh? Oh Gods no!"
She stuttered when she tried to answer. "I...uhhmm.... Never...damn! Lets
go look for this CD thingie before I stick both of my feet in my mouth."
Nikita held back a chuckle at
Jayce being embarrassed about never having sex. It surprised her for one thing,
she would have thought that someone with her looks would have had at least a
couple of lovers.
"OK, lets go to your office
and check there, cuz obviously it's not in your apartment."
"One small problem Niki,
I don't have any cloths."
Niki thought that there was
definitely no problem there. But she didn't want anyone else looking at her
gorgeous body. The green eyed monster was paying her a visit and she didn't
mind one bit.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
They took Nikita's Harley to
the Lit building because of Jayce having a little trouble walking. Every step
pulled on the wounds on her back, which reminded her that Nikita had the same
scars.
"Can I ask you a personal
question?"
Nikita stopped walking to look
down into pain filled green eyes.
"Sure, I'll do my best
to answer it."
"You have the same scars
on your back as I'll have later when they heal, did they do it? You know those
Mafia people?"
A glimmer of a forgotten time
passed through blue eyes then vanished. "Many years ago, I was a stupid
kid and I paid for something I did."
"Why the X? I mean I've
always thought that whip marks are all over the place, not in a certain design."
"I think it has something
to do with some ancient legend about a woman warrior who defeated the Chinese
back in the time of Caesar or something."
Jayce thought about all the
ancient myths she had read about and realized that maybe she hadn't read all
of them. She was curious now.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The cleaning people again straightened
up her office and a piece of plywood was over where the window use to be in
the door.
"OK, where do we start
first?" Jayce asked from where she stood with her hands planted on her
hips.
"Your CD's, you know which
ones you had. Sooo, go through them and any that looks weird we'll check and
see what's on it. And I'll check around your office, maybe your father stuck
it some where when you weren't looking."
"He was laying right there
the whole time." She pointed to where Nikita was now standing. Nikita looked
in every crevice that a CD could fit; she was laying on her back when Jayce
asked her to look at something. She pulled herself further under the desk and
looked up between Jayce's legs.
"Find something?"
Jayce looked around but couldn't find her.
"Where are you?" She
almost fell backwards in her chair when she felt a hand touch her knee. Grabbing
her chest she took a deep breath.
"Geez! I hate when you
sneak around!"
"Huh? How do you know I
sneak around?"
"I have no idea why I said
that. Anyway, look at this and tell me if you notice any thing weird."
She handed it down to Nikita,
who turned it over in her fingers. "OK, ya got me, what's weird about it?"
"Look at the name."
"Uuhhmm, whose Will Gat...this
has got to be it! We got it!" Nikita was about to crawl out from under
the desk when they heard a knock on the door. She had just pulled her feet under
when the door opened and an older Asian man stepped in. Jayce went pale at the
sight of him; she reached under her desk and grabbed Nikita's shoulder.
She cleared her throat before
she spoke. "Can I help you?"
"I am looking for my son
Daniel Chang, he just transferred here from California."
Jayce calmed when she felt Nikita's
hand squeezing her thigh. "I saw him this morning after class." The
Older man stepped closer to her desk; leaning down on the palms he looked her
right in the eye. "Are you sure you haven't seen my son since then?"
"Yes Sir, I gave him some
papers this morning for class so he could catch up. Maybe he's in his dorm room
studying."
"No, I have checked. Thank
you." He glared at her one last time before he left. Jayce sank back in
her chair and winced at the sharp pain that shot through her back. Nikita pushed
her chair back and crawled towards her shivering friend. "Are you OK?"
All Jayce could do was nod her head. Nikita placed her hands on Jayce's thighs
and looked into scared green eyes. "We have to get out of here, that wasn't
Chang's father. That was his replacement."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
They left by way of a side door;
Nikita went to get her Harley while Jayce stayed where she was. If the man was
watching for her he wouldn't know about Nikita. On her way to her Hog she looked
around to see if he was hiding somewhere, she even looked to her own spot but
saw nothing. Slipping her helmet on she kicked the hog over and left. She would
circle around the back and pick Jayce up and then head to the hotel. But that
was a problem for Nikita. They would have to leave the area to be completely
safe; Nikita didn't want anyone finding Jayce.
@@@@@@@@@
They went through the side door,
And tried to hurry but Jayce had some problems with the Levi's she had on, they
were Nikita's. Nikita had rolled the legs up and cinched the waist with her
belt, but when Jayce tried to jog she had to hold them up or they'd end up around
her ankles. All Nikita could do was chuckle at her.
"Ya know you look like
a little kid in my clothes, you're really cute to."
"I'll really be cute if
they fall down and I moon someone since you don't wear and underwear!"
"Hey I do wear them, I
just don't have any with me at the time." Her dark brows wiggled at a struggling
Jayce. "Plus it's easy access."
"Geez! I can't believe
you just said that! You're a pervert!"
"Am not! I prefer demented,
sounds better."
Nikita opened the door and ushered
Jayce in. Grabbing up her saddlebags and laptop she started stuffing stuff into
them.
"Can you check the bathroom
for stuff, we're going to go to a different hotel in a different state."
"Why? Ohh never mind, actually
another country sounds good right now!"
"Maybe after we get this
mess all straightened out."
Jayce gave her a funny look.
"I wonder what she meant by that?" Her little voice asked her. Gods
she couldn't even go to her apartment and get some clothes, even though she
liked wearing Nikita's shirts because they smelled like her. However, the pants
were going to be a problem.
"Niki, I'm going to need
some clothes that fit, can we go by the ATM so I can get some money?"
"Don't worry about money,
we'll stop and pick you up something on the way to Maryland."
"But."
"No buts about it, this
is kinda my fault so it's my treat. OK?" She stood right in front of Jayce,
her blue eyes drilling into her. "No argument." She leaned down and
placed a kiss on her lips, electricity shot through them like they had just
grabbed a live wire. Jayce still had her eyes closed when Nikita pulled back.
"Jay, breath!" Nikita had a crooked grin on her face when Jayce opened
her eyes. "Uuhhmm yeah." She was still shaken by the kiss minutes
later. Nikita felt bad; maybe she had read Jayce all wrong and ruined what little
bit of trust she had with her. She couldn't handle the silence; she had gotten
so use to hearing Jayce talk in her rich voice that now she missed it. She finished
packing and sat next to Jayce on the bed.
"Jay, I'm aahh sorry if
I made you uncomfortable with that kiss. I won't over step the boundary again."
Green eyes turned to look at
her, what she saw was confusing to her. She was just about to apologize again
when Jayce leaned over and kissed her. She pushed her back on the bed and asked
for entrance with her tongue by running the tip between Nikita's lips. When
Nikita opened her mouth Jayce deepened the kiss. When they broke apart Nikita
was gasping for air.
"DAMN!" She lay with
her arms stretched out at her shoulders. "Where did you learn how to kiss
like that?"
A blush ran up her neck, Jayce
dropped her head down and looked at Nikita from under her lashes. "I guess
it was instinct." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Instinct? Explain."
"This may sound a little
weird but you're the first person I've ever kissed."
Nikita's head dropped back to
the bed, she covered her eyes with her hands and moaned.
In a very serious tone she questioned
Nikita. "Was I that bad?"
"Gods no!" She uncovered
her eyes to look at her. "If you kissed me like that the first time, guaranteed
the second time I may have a heart attack!"
"Oohh! Well, come on lets
get outta here."
Nikita got to her unsteady feet
and stumbled to the door. Her body was feeling things that it had never felt
before and all from just one kiss.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The Red Horse Inn in Frederick Maryland was the only place that had any rooms
left because of some strange convention that was in town. When they got to their
room. Nikita's saddlebags and laptop case slipped from her fingers to hit on
the floor. Jayce covered her face with her hands and the Levi's she had on dropped
around her ankles. The room held one single bed.
"Now what?" Jayce
asked as she looked to Nikita from between her fingers.
A wicked grin covered Nikita's
face. "Wanna flip for it?"
"OK, you call it."
"Feet."
Jayce swung her head around,
giving Nikita an eyebrow. "What the Hell is feet?"
"This." Nikita bent
her knees and threw her body backwards and did a flip in the air. She pointed
to her feet and grinned. "Feet. Your turn."
Jayce pulled the bottom of her
shirt up and pointed to her bare ass.
"Kiss it!"
"Please don't tempt me.
My heart couldn't handle it."
@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita lay in the tiny little
bed with her feet hanging over the edge; she looked on the floor beside it to
see Jayce laying in a fetal position. She couldn't take it anymore; she got
up and pushed the bed against the wall.
"Jay, come onto bed. We'll
squeeze on here some how."
A knowing grin came to Jayce's
face, she knew that Nikita's conscience would get to her. She may be all rough
and tough on the outside but all mush on the inside. Wiping the grin off of
her face she crawled over to the bed on her hands and knees. Pulling herself
up onto the bed she tried to lay down with out falling off the edge.
"OK warrior mushball lay
on your back."
Nikita gave her a funny look
then laid on her back.
"This is a first! I'll
have ta remember to order women on their backs, saves all that time of wining
and dining." She ignored the look she got from Nikita; pushing on Nikita's
shoulder she shook her head no. An evil grin covered her face as she sprawled
across Nikita. Moving her head back and forth she found a comfortable spot between
Nikita's breasts.
"Are you comfy?"
"Not yet." Nikita
groaned deep in her chest. "I forgot something."
"Gods help me!"
Jayce leaned up and captured
Nikita's lips in a breath stealing, heart stopping kiss. She left poor Nikita
gasping for air again, then tortured her more by rearranging body parts to fit
her.
"Nite Niki."
"Nite Jay." I'm
gonna kill you in the morning!' She wanted to add. Her body was screaming
bloody murder. Flames were licking at her center, ready to engulf her with each
movement of Jay's leg. She wondered if she was as innocent as she wanted her
to believe. With in a matter of minutes Jay's breathing evened out and deepened.
With the turmoil her body was going through Nikita figured she would be staring
at the ceiling all night but the sound of Jay's breathing put her right to sleep.
@@@@@@@@@@
Her laptop on Nikita ran through
the information on the CD that Jackson MacKenzie had hidden in his daughters
office. She couldn't believe what was on it, page after page of information
on the locations of safe houses, undercover agents for the FBI, CIA and DEA.
As well as all the officers and lower echelons of the Mafia's around the world.
"But why would MacKenzie want this?"
"Want what Niki?"
Jayce looked over her shoulder at the laptop screen. "What is all that
stuff?"
"Stuff that only an agent
working in FBI headquarters could get, someone with a high top secret clearance."
"Gods." Moaned Jayce.
She grabbed onto Nikita's shoulder to steady herself. The implications that
this brought against her father were unimaginable. "Niki, we have to go
to California, to my fathers office."
"I have to take care of
this CD first, it has to go back to FBI headquarters. If someone gets their
hands on this they could rule the fucking world." She knew by the look
on Jayce's face that she didn't understand. "OK, this has everything that
a Mafia Don would need to kill every single undercover agent, all of the safe
houses are listed here by the agency they belong to and every person in the
European, Asian and any other Mafia or illegal group is on here. There would
be a war over who would take control, the innocent lives that would be lost
because of this CD." The look of total horror washed across Jayce's face,
her knees gave out, and she sunk to her knees beside Nikita's chair
"We have to stop this from
getting to who ever it is who wants it. And find out why my father had it."
"First I have to do something."
She picked up her cell phone and hit the speed dial.
"Scalani, I have it."
Jayce fell back on the floor in shock; she may have just made the biggest mistake
of her entire life and would be the one who would feel guilty for the rest of
her life for the deaths of innocent people. Niki was involved in all of this
and Jayce had the bad feeling she wasn't on the side of innocents.
"I need the best virus
you have on file, one that will wipe out every PC across the entire world."
Jayce continued to watch Niki, the blue of her eyes changed to an almost frosty
white, her facial muscles along her jaw bulged. "Send it to my E-mail in
5 minutes, I'm sending a copy of the CD registered mail under the name May Chang."
She disconnected and hit speed dial again.
"Green Dragon. I have it,
I'll be leaving here today."
"Niki, what are you doing?"
She was just about to answer
when there was a knock on the door. Jayce answered the door; room service was
there with a large tray on a cart. She looked at the name on the card that he
handed wanted her to sign. Scribbling something on it she gave it back to him
and took the tray. Her Temper was flaring white hot, she put the tray on the
bed then advanced on Nikita. Grabbing the front of her shirt she pulled her
forward in the chair so that they were nose to nose.
"I just signed the check
with the name Ms. Ryan Foster! Your making all these mysterious phone calls,
talking about spy and Mafia stuff that I thought was only in books and on TV
and now some weird name! Who the Hell are you?" Nikita dropped her chin
down on her chest, a low groan escaped from between her clenched teeth.
"I can't tell you, all
I ask is that you trust me. Please." Her blue eyes would tell nothing,
they were walled and hiding the secrets that Jayce so badly wanted to know.
"Trust you? TRUST YOU!!
I don't even know you, I don't even know if your who you say you are! You could
be working with those Fong or Tree people or who ever the fuck they are!"
Her green eyes were blazing; her grip on Nikita's shirt was so tight that she
was strangling her. "And on top of all this I have to wonder where my father
fits in! Trust is no where in the picture!" She released Niki's shirt and
headed for the door, she was in the hallway before Nikita knew what was happening.
"SHIT!!!! JAY COME BACK
HERE!!" She went running out the door and down the hallway towards the
elevators. She caught a glimpse of Jayce just as the doors closed all the way.
Busting through the stairwell door she ran down the steps. In the back of her
mind she thought that she only had 9 floors to go. She had to catch her and
explain, she couldn't let her leave, she meant too much to her. Grabbing the
handrail she launched herself over the side and dropped to the floor below,
her feet slapped the concrete floor sending shock waves to the top of her head.
She pushed onward until she hit the last floor and shot through. Jayce was just
about to come out of the elevator when Nikita launched her body at her and they
both fell to the floor in a heap. Nikita used her bruised foot to hit the door
closed button.
Jayce lay on her back beneath
the weight of Nikita; tears flowed from her eyes as pain shot from the wounds
on her back. Nikita's head dropped to Jayce's chest, pulling in gulps of air.
"Please don't leave me."
Nikita pleaded between trying to breathe in enough air. "They'll kill you,
and I couldn't handle that." She raised her head up to look into misty
green eyes. "Please trust me." Tears spilled from her pain filled
blue eyes.
"I want answers or I'm
out of here!"
Nikita placed a soft kiss on
her lips, pulling them into a sitting position she hugged her tight to her chest.
Jayce gave out a gasp from pain. "Gods, I'm sorry Baby, I forgot about
your back." She eased up with her hug, running her fingers through short
blond hair she pulled Jayce's head to rest under her chin. "I'll tell you
what I can, and we'll go from there."
The door to the elevator opened
to reveal and older couple who informed them that what they were doing in the
elevator was vulgar and against God. Nikita gave them her most intimidating
look and told them to go fuck themselves. They gasped at her and ran to the
desk counter to tell the clerk about the disgusting women.
"You are such a charmer
Niki or should I call you Ryan?"
"Well, you fell for my
charms. And it is Nikita, Ryan was my brother."
@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita sat with her back against
the wall with Jayce cuddled up against her chest. She told her bits and pieces
of her life, leaving out something's that she didn't need to know.
"Jay, I work for the Triads."
She felt Jayce stiffen in her arms at the mention of the name, linking it with
her fathers murderer. "I didn't have anything to do with your fathers death,
I was sent here afterwards to get the CD and then take it back with me."
"Then why did Chang come
here? And who killed my father?"
"Because I didn't do my
job, I couldn't find the CD. We may never know who killed your father."
"So they sent him to just
get the CD?" Jayce knew there had to be more to it.
"Uuhmm no, he was to get
the CD and kill us."
"Both of us? But you're
one of them!" She heard Nikita take a deep breath and release it through
her lips.
"I refused to do part of the job. Jay, I was suppose to kill you once I
got the CD."
"Ohh Gods!" Jayce
pulled away from her and moved across the room. Hugging herself with her arms
she started to rock back and forth. Her whole world came crashing down around
her, her heart broke into thousands of pieces at the thought of the woman she
had come to love had been sent to kill her. She sunk to her knees sobbing.
Nikita got up off of the bed
and approached Jayce with hesitation; she didn't know what to do. She knew that
she had hurt Jayce deeply with her confession. Dropping to her knees she touched
Jayce on her shoulder to have her jerk away.
"Please Jay, I'm sorry."
"For what? Not killing
me like you were suppose to?!?"
"No, for hurting the woman
I'm in love with."
Tear swollen green eyes turned
to catch blue eyes welling with tears, the walls fell right before her letting
her see all the love that this tall dark woman had for her.
"You're in love with me?"
Nikita pulled her into her arms;
she gazed into her green eyes before she captured her lips in a soft kiss. "Yes,
I'm in love with you." Covering her face with dozens of kisses until she
came to soft lips. "I love you Jay." Nikita traced her soft lips with
the tip of her tongue until Jay touched it with her own tongue, pulling Nikita's
tongue into her mouth. Their tongues caressed each other and explored all the
hidden places of each other's mouths. Their kiss broke so that they could gasp
for air. Jayce held Nikita's face between her hands, placing a soft kiss to
her lips she pulled back to look into crystal blue eyes. With one finger she
traced the dark brows that were so expressive; her fingers ran across the high
cheekbones down to her strong jaw and graceful neck. She could feel the rapid
pulse beat beneath her fingertips. Leaning in she kissed the soft skin, tasting
the saltiness of the tears that had made their way to soak into her shirt collar.
She felt Nikita take a deep breath as she tilted her head to the side to give
her more room. Working her way up along her jaw with open mouth kisses she knew
she was driving Nikita nuts by the way her heart was pounding. Her own body
was becoming very aroused, she felt herself growing wet with each kiss she placed
on the soft skin under her lips. Running her tongue up her chin she licked the
partially opened lips, slipping her tongue into her mouth she ravaged her in
a way that set fireworks off in their bodies. Hands began to roam and explore
places that they never had before; Nikita rolled back onto the floor taking
Jayce with her. They started to remove each other's clothes when Xena's war
cry came from Nikita's laptop. Nikita broke the kiss and groaned.
"By the Gods she has shitty
timing!" Jayce gave her the eyebrow look. "You have Xena on your laptop?
I would never had taken you as a fan."
Nikita gave her a lopsided grin.
"What can I say, I love blondes." She rolled to her feet to check
on her laptop. Pulling up her E-mail she hissed between her teeth.
"We have to leave, they
know we're here."
"Who does? And where can
we go?"
"Everybody! The Triads,
Tongs, FBI etc....we have to get to California like yesterday!"
"How did they find us?
And more importantly how are we going to get to California with out them knowing?"
"They ran the credit card
with Ryan's name on it, I have a friend that will let me use his jet."
@@@@@@@@@@@@
They waited in an open field
outside of Hagerstown Maryland for her friend to show up with the jet. He was
25 minutes late and Nikita was starting to worry that maybe he had been found
out. Then she picked up the sound of an engine coming from the wrong direction
just as her cell phone rang. She answered it and watched the wings dip to each
side.
"It's him, he had to switch
planes."
Jayce watched a middle aged
man jump from the jet, he was dressed in greasy Levi's and a Levi's shirt missing
the sleeves. Tattoos covered his forearms and his long grayish hair was held
back in a leather strap. He grinned at Nikita and caught her helmet in one hand
and the keys to her hog in the other.
"Thanks Bud, I owe ya one."
They clasped forearms and parted,
he looked back over his shoulder, his crystal blue eyes catching both green
and ones like his own.
"Sis, Ma says to be careful.
And if you get hurt she's going to kick your ass into your next life."
Nikita gave him a big smile
and laughed at the look on Jayce's face. "Tell her it's a deal, I'll see
ya when we get back."
Inside the jet Jayce grabbed
her by her forearm to keep her from escaping her questions. "That was your
brother?"
"Yep, scary ain't he? Ready
to go, we have a long flight ahead of us?"
Jayce looked around at the small
jet for the pilot. "Niki, who's going to fly this thing?"
"Me, is there a problem?"
"Uuhhmm, only if you don't
know how to fly it."
"I have many skills."
She gave her a quick kiss and climbed into the pilots seat and motioned for
Jayce to take the co-pilots. Jayce watched as she hit all kinds of buttons and
switches in front of her and then heard the engine start up. Before she knew
it the jet was in the air.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita brought the jet around
and started their descent; Jayce had a death grip on the arms of the chair.
When the jet made a whining noise her green eyes grew the size of saucers. "Are
we going to crash?"
"Naah, that was the landing
gear coming down, besides I've never crashed in all the years I've been flying."
The last part she said with a serious look on her face.
"Niki, people usually don't
survive airplane crashes when there in something the size of a beer can!"
"Oh, well I guess the chopper
doesn't count either huh?"
"Oh shit! I'm gonna die
a virgin!!!!!"
Nikita got up out of the seat
and straddled Jay's thighs. "In that case we have about 15 minutes before
we go up in a ball of flames."
"Your trying to drive me
nuts aren't you?" Poking her in her chest. "You'd let us crash just
to get in my pants?"
She shrugged her shoulders and
gave her most charming smile. "I'd prefer to take my time but since you
have your mind set on us crashing I figured why waste it."
"Get back over there before
we do crash!"
Before she got up she gave Jay
a sloppy kiss on the lips. "EEEWW, that was gross! Why'd you do that?"
Wiping her mouth and chin off she wiped it on Nikita's arm.
"Felt like it. Ya ready ta crash, better take the crash position."
Jayce covered her eyes and took a deep breath and held it. She was close to
passing out when she heard Nikita ask her if she was going to get off of the
jet.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
"Now tell me again what
we're looking for." Nikita asked Jayce while she spun the globe of the
world at 100mph.
"Will you stop that! Your
like a little kid, I don't know what we're looking for, if my father was hiding
something it would be in this office. He use to lock the door all the time and
no matter what the emergency, he refused to open the door."
Nikita walked around the room
taping on the walls with her knuckles, she came to one place that had a different
sound. Using both hands she tapped in different places so much that Jayce was
ready to kill her.
Her hands went to her hips,
the brows dipped over her squinted green eyes. "Now what are you doing?"
"An Amazon dance beat,
ya like it? I think it's kinda catchy." Her grin didn't work this time.
"Ohh all right, I think there's a fake wall over here or something."
Jayce joined Nikita at the wall
and they both started taping in different places. "You're off beat and
flat." A blond head swung to glare at her.
"Are you feeling OK? You seem kinda I don't know...weird!"
"Stress Baby, A LOT of
stress!"
"Are you always this way
when you're stressed?" They were now searching the wall down at floor level.
"Nope, I usually go out and rape and pillage a small town before I have
serious work to do."
"You're kidding right?"
Eyes the color of cold steel gazed back at her. "Do you pick up some woman
in a bar or something?"
"Usually 2 women, a case
of beer and then we have one of those threesomes."
Jayce was near death; this woman
would kill her in bed! She was getting excited just thinking about it. Oh no!
I will not share her with anyone! If I'm not enough for her I'll have to get
some of that female viagra stuff! Here we go again, I'm having a nice little
conversation with myself.
"Hello! Any body there?"
Nikita was snapping her fingers in front of her trying to get her attention.
"Sorry I was thinking,
what were you saying?"
"I found the panel switch."
She pushed on a piece of wood
trim along the floor and a small recessed area came forward. Jayce pushed on
her side of the wall and the panel swung in. The room was a 12X12-foot area
with filling cabinets on one wall and a large safe on the other.
"You look in the files
and I'll see if I can get this safe open."
About five minutes later Nikita
sat on a tabletop and watched Jayce as she was bent over a drawer. Tilting her
head at an angle gave her a clear view of Jayce's tight ass. "Can ya move
to your right a little bit?" Still with her head in the drawer she asked
why. "Because I'm getting a kink in my neck." Jayce was silent for
a minute. "How can me moving to my right..." She looked down under
her arm to see Nikita looking at her ass.
"You're a dog! Aren't you
suppose to be trying to open the safe?"
"I need a water glass."
Jayce straightened up and stretched
her back muscles. "Does that really work?"
"Ohh yeah, use it all the
time. Can we find one around here?"
"Hold on let me look, I
think he had a bar in here somewhere."
She came back a few minutes
later with a large water glass, after handing it over she waited to see how
Nikita was going to use it to open the safe. Her jaw dropped open when she saw
her produce a bottle of bourbon. She slapped her in her shoulder and the side
of her head.
Nikita grinned at her. "What
did ya think I needed it for? To open the safe? Jay that only works in the movies."
She opened the bottle and filled it half way. "Are there any cleaning ladies
in this building?"
"I suppose, why?"
"Well, I got a bottle,
you. So I need one more female and I'm all set." Jayce took the glass from
her; slammed half of it then gave it back. Nikita was shocked, not even she
would slam 50-year-old bourbon and she could drink battery acid with out any
side effects.
"Ohh Baby, you shouldn't
have done that!"
Jayce turned a deep red, her
eyes were watering and she looked like she was going to spontaneously combust.
Her jaw dropped open and she let out a deep forceful breath that had her coughing
so hard she ended up on the floor. Between gasps she asked Nikita what she had
just drank, when she told her she fell over on her side and lay still. "I'm
gonna die!" She looked up at an amused Nikita with watery green eyes. "Niki,
I don't drink."
@@@@@@@
Jayce was passed out on a couch,
her little experimentation with Bourbon didn't go well. After 5 minutes she
was history. Nikita had everything from the safe on the floor in piles. She
had found a lot of stuff that a congressman should not even know about let alone
be involved in. With just the stuff she had seen, he would have been in jail
for a least 150 years. She decided to pack it all up and take it with them,
then another problem hit her, how were they going to get anywhere? They had
taken a cab from the airstrip and now with Jay passed out, she couldn't very
well carry her around.
"Son of bitch! Think, you're
the one who always comes up with stuff against all odds!" She went over
to Jackson's desk and went through the drawers. In the last one she checked
she found a spare set of car keys.
"What are the chances that
it's here?" She checked one last time on Jayce then headed for the basement
garage. It was well past midnight so there shouldn't be any cars in the place
except for security guards and cleaning crews. Then she saw it, a plaque on
the wall with his name on it.
"What a ugly fucking car!
Shows he had shitty taste in cars." She was looking at a Champaign colored
Crown Victoria. Pulling it over to the elevator she left it to go get the papers
and Jayce.
@@@@@@@@@@
"Ohh Gods, I'm dying!"
Jayce was hugging the porcelain Goddess, her head resting on the side of it
where it was nice and cold. Every time she tried to move the room spun and she
tossed what little bit was left in her system. "Niki, please kill me and
put me out of my misery."
Nikita sat down on the floor
behind her; putting a towel with ice in it on the back of her neck she eased
her into her arms. "No more drinking for you. But at least I know now that
you're a cheap date."
"That's funny! You know
it's your fault."
"My fault? I didn't tell
ya to slam that Bourbon, anyway the way you took the glass I thought you had
drank before."
"I always see these people
slamming drinks and never getting drunk, so I thought there was nothing to it."
"You watch to much TV.
Come on your going back to bed, I got you some Gator aid and some Pedialite
for later."
"But we have all that stuff
to go through."
"It's all done, I did it
while you were sleeping."
@@@@@@@@@
Nikita arranged the papers that
needed to be scanned and put onto a CD's. They would be sent in the mail to
her contact and the originals would be shredded. There were a lot of open cases
that could be closed with the information she had found. She would have people
owing her big time for this job. She had one last thing to do and all would
be set, after booting up her laptop she transferred the virus she had asked
for to the copy of the CD that everyone was after. Once they opened the file
the virus would run rampid and destroy the computer along with the information
on the CD. Even if they managed to be able to copy it the virus would still
be there waiting for the next victim.
The other copy of the CD, her
brother now had and it was to be put in a safety deposit box in her bank. It
was her security in case anything happened to her or Jayce. Her eyes aching
along with her back, she striped out of her clothes and got into bed with a
sprawled out Jayce. At least at this Hotel they were able to get a queen-size
bed. Although she didn't mind having the smaller one where they had to sleep
on top of each other. As she lay on her side she realized that she hadn't had
any of her normal nightmares since she and Jayce had been sharing a bed. Turning
over she spooned against Jayce's warm body; with in minutes she was in the dream
world with Jayce at her side.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
The next morning Nikita woke
up with a heavy weight across her chest. Jayce had made her nesting area between
her breasts and had a strangle hold on her ribcage. She ran her fingers through
her tousled blonde hair, loving the feel of the silky strands falling through
her fingers. She had never felt complete as she did when Jayce was with her,
they had a connection to each other that seemed so familiar at times that it
was scary. She could swear that she knew what she was going to say or the expression
she would have before anything would happen.
"Baby, come on it's time
to get up." Jayce mumbled as she buried her face against Nikita's left
breast. "Ohh no you don't, I'm hungry and you reek like an old drunk."
"Do not."
"How would you know? Your
nose is buried against me."
"Like it here, leave em
here, get later."
"I kinda like my tits where
they are, I'll feel a little odd without them. You asked for it!" She started
tickling her ribs; Jayce kept squirming trying to get away from the fingers
running up and down her ribcage.
"OK, I'll...get...up!"
She pinched Nikita's nipple as paybacks. "Meanie! Just for that I'm not
gonna take a shower and I'll make sure I sit REAL close to you!"
@@@@@@@@@@
After their showers they went
down to the dinning room for breakfast, Jayce ordered enough for three people
and then helped Nikita with hers. Before they left she had them bring her two
eggs on a bagel for later, which she actually meant was the 2 minutes it took
them to get to the elevator.
"Niki, what are we doing
today?"
"I'm going to get rid of
that CD and your either going to stay here or go visit your sister or Mom."
"Oohhh noo! Where you go
I go!"
"Not this time, it'll be
too dangerous. There's still a price on your head, I am not going to risk your
life by taking you with me."
She pulled her over to the bed
and sat her down in front of her. "Please do this for me, I wouldn't be
able to handle it if anything happened to you."
"But what about you, they
want you dead to. Who's going to watch your back if I'm not there?"
"I'll be OK, they won't
do anything to me because I'll have the CD. And it's just a drop off point,
I drop it off and then I call them and tell them where it is."
"Then why can't I just
stay in the car while you do that?"
"Baby, please just this
once." Brushing her fingers across her cheek memorizing the feel of her
soft skin. "I'll need you on the outside to call my contacts, to let them
know it's done. And if anything happens to me I want you to call my brother
and have him get you out of here."
"Nothing is going to happen
to you, I won't let it!" Tears came to her eyes. "I don't like this!
Why can't you just mail it to them?"
"Because I have to make
a deal with them to leave you alone, I don't want you to have to hide for the
rest of your life."
"But if something happens
to you, I will have to hide!"
"That's why I want you
to call my brother, he'll help you."
Jayce fell into her arms sobbing,
Nikita hated doing this but there was no other way.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita dropped Jayce off at
her sisters house; she gave her the phone numbers she was to call with the times
next to them. She left her laptop and clothes with her in case she had to ditch
the car and find another way to get back to where her sister lived. Both of
them had tears in their eyes as the time grew closer for Nikita to make the
drop off. She pulled Jayce into her arms and held her close, she felt her body
shake from her sobs.
"It'll be OK, I promise."
She pulled back enough to give her a soft kiss that became passionate. Jayce's
sister Lynn stood in the front window of her house and watched them. She didn't
understand her sisters attraction to other women but seeing her with Nikita,
she understood completely. Sparks shot between the two of them; she had never
seen two people with so much chemistry.
Jayce was the first to break
the kiss, she wanted to look into those blue eyes and remember the passion in
them.
"Promise me you'll come
back."
"I promise, if at all possible
I'll come back to you. I love you Jay, always remember that."
Tears flowed rivers down Jayce's
cheeks; between her sobs she told Nikita that she loved her. Then she ran into
the house leaving Nikita to leave.
"I love you little one."
@@@@@@@@@
Jayce ran into her sisters arms
and sobbed uncontrollably. Lynn rocked her older sister in her arms giving her
comfort by telling her that Nikita would be back and to not worry. When Jayce
had calmed down they sat in the kitchen and for the first time since her family
had disowned her, talked.
"Do you love her Jayce?"
"With everything that I
am, she is my other half, my soulmate." She took a deep calming breath.
"She saved my life from the same people who may have killed Dad."
"They came after you, what
did they do to you? My Gods Jay, why didn't you call me." She thought a
minute and sighed. "Never mind, that was a stupid thing to say after all
we put you through, you would never call us." Jayce clasped her sisters
hand in hers. "It wasn't safe to call anyone, Niki took care of him and
he's in jail now."
"But what did he do to
you? I don't see any bruises.... He didn't..."
"No, he whipped me."
Lynn's brown eyes grew huge at the thought of someone using a whip on her sister.
She brushed her long brown hair off of her shoulders. It was her way of collecting
herself, like Jayce tipped her head back and closed her eyes. They may be sisters
but their mannerisms were nothing alike.
"Is it bad, what he did
to you?"
Jayce stood up and turned her
back to her sister, she pulled her shirt up and heard Lynn gasp. Lowering her
shirt she sat back down and took her Lynn's hands.
"The marks will fade with
time, Niki only has white lines across her back now."
"Niki has the same thing?
Why?"
"She says that they were
punishing her for something she did when she was younger."
"I'm confused, she knows
these people?"
"Yes, she works for them
and she was sent to get the CD that Dad had and Kill me." Lynn jumped up
from the table; her chair hit the floor with a bang, making Jayce jump in her
chair.
"You mean to tell me that
you fell in love with a hit woman who was sent to kill you! Are you NUTS!!!!!"
"Calm down and sit down!
She couldn't do it, she told me she couldn't kill the women that she had fallen
in love with."
"Was this before or after
you told her that you loved her? She may have been playing on your emotions."
"It was before and she's
not like that. She could have let that guy kill me and never endangered herself.
They want her dead along with me, all because she didn't do her job and kill
me like she was suppose to."
"Geez, this sounds like
one of those bad movies. What happens after she does what ever it is she's doing?"
Jayce leaned back in her chair;
she played with the piece of paper that Nikita had given her. "I don't
know, maybe she'll come back to West Virginia with me.
@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita pulled the car to the
edge of an old housing complex parking lot, she had already made the calls that
she need to make so she left the cell phone laying on the front seat. She walked
slowly along the edge of the building checking behind her every so often. They
were to meet her on the first floor in the hallway, and she was to be unharmed
and alone. She snickered at the thought of them really believing her to come
without some kind of firepower. That was why she was an hour early, the black
leather duster she wore had more pockets than it was made with. Finding a rumble
strewn hall made it perfect for her little hiding game, she hid weapons amongst
the trash in strategic places along the hall.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Jayce and Lynn sat in front
of the TV watching soap operas and what was worse was they were so involved
in it that Jayce had stopped her junk food binge. Lynn watched her older sister
with amazement; she had forgotten the amount of food she could consume in one
sitting.
"I see something's never
change." Lynn pointed to the 2 empty bags of microwave popcorn and twinkie
and zinger wrappers covering the coffee table. She received a smirk from Jayce.
"I wasn't really hungry, what time is it? I have to make some phone calls
for Niki."
Lynn checked the clock on the
VCR. "It's 2'25pm, what time do you have to call?"
"In 5 minutes, I guess
it can't hurt to call a little early." Unfolding the paper she checked
the time of the calls, they were to be made 5 min apart. She didn't know who
she was calling and all Niki had told her was to say "Green Dragon"
and hang up. She made the calls then went back into the living room with her
sister.
"Who did you call?"
"I have no idea, when they
answered all I said was Green Dragon. You know they all use those code words
to sound mysterious and all."
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Nikita was waiting in the hallway
when she saw a black car drive up outside the door, four men got out, then the
car pulled away. She knew that more of them were hiding at the back of the building
waiting to come through the back door at the minute all Hell broke loose. Which
she knew was going to happen, she hoped that Jay had made the calls for her.
If she did then everything was set and it would be all over. It made her heart
both ecstatic and ache at the same time.
An older Asian man with gray
hair and a long fu man chu stepped in front of her, his bodyguards took their
places to either side and the other stood at a distance behind him. His hands
crossed over his folded arms when he tilted his head back to give her a look
of superiority. He sent one of his men over to search her.
"So we meet again Nikita,
I had heard that you managed to save MacKenzie from Danny Chang. That was a
very stupid thing to do, especially turning him over to the FBI. He can't tell
them anything, because he killed himself before they got to him." A grin
came to his face when he saw the narrowed look of her pale blue eyes and her
chin stick out.
"Ohh yes, he had plenty
of poison with him to do the deed. So his knowledge is useless now."
Nikita knew he was lying. There
was no poison left with Chang. And the only way he could possible kill himself
was if he was able to get loose.
"What a pity, I'm sure
the FBI would have had lots of fun with him. Anyway I'm not here to discuss
what happened with your flunky, I have the CD and as soon as you get it I'm
done."
"I don't think so, you
see once I have the CD." He motioned his men to move in front of him. "My
men are going to have some fun with you and then do what Chang wasn't able to
do, rip your heart from your chest."
"Have fun finding it, I
left my heart somewhere safe." She pictured a small blonde with green eyes
and knew where her heart was; it was at home in Jay's hands. Reaching into her
pocket she pulled out a plastic case with the CD in it. She spun it in her fingers
before her eyes and wondered if it was all worth it. Yes, she decided. It was,
the few lives that would be lost here were worth the billions that wouldn't
have to suffer at the hands of men like the Green Dragon. With the flip of her
wrist she sent the case spinning towards the Green Dragon. He caught it in mid
air, after examining it he stuck it inside his pocket and walked away.
He stopped at the door and gave
his men a short nod. He was gone in a second leaving Nikita to face his three
bodyguards. She wasn't worried about them using guns on her, torture was their
specialty then you lost your head at the end to be taken back as proof of a
kill.
The first one came at her with
a pair of nunchakus, spinning them in figure eight's in front of him, then to
each side of his body as he advanced towards her. He spun on his back foot,
extending his arm with the nunchakus in them to make a strike at her head. She
blocked the strike, snapping his arm at the elbow she pulled his nunchakus from
his hand and used them to smack the other in the throat with them. Still holding
onto the screaming man she head butted him knocking him out then tossing him
to the floor. The nunchakus were wrapped around the other guys neck, he was
struggling to get them free when the last of them came at her with Sai's. Picking
up the baton she had hid earlier she blocked his swings at her. Spinning out
of his way she caught him behind his knees as she passed. He stumbled forward
into the other man who had freed himself from the nunchakus. Both men came at
her with everything they had. She ran up the wall opposite of them and flipped
over their heads to land behind them.
She heard shots being fired out behind the building, then others from Green
Dragons group came charging into the hallway. Bullets flew past her as she rolled
across the floor to where she had hidden her throwing daggers. Taking out the
first two, she rolled to the other side of the hallway and threw a dagger over
her should to penetrate the man's throat who had the Sai's. Fighting for her
life she dodged bullets coming from a dozen or more men, she felt a burning
sensation in her right shoulder and then the warm stickiness of blood running
in between her skin and her duster. She made the decision that these guys could
chase her if they wanted, she ran right at them and jumped in the air flipping
over their heads, before they could turn, she was out the door. Rounding the
corner she searched for the Green Dragons car. She had to take him out of the
picture at all costs.
Dark blue vans showed up in
the front of the building, swat teams and men with dark blue windbreakers with
the FBI initials in bold yellow on the back, ran towards where all the shots
were being fired.
Nikita ran towards the car she
knew held the Green Dragon, before she could get to the door, the driver flung
his door open and fired at her. Bullets rushed past her, one of them clipping
her in her thigh and coming out at her hip. She fell to the ground when her
leg gave out, reaching inside her duster she pulled a throwing dagger and flung
it at the driver, the blade vibrated from where it sank into his chest. She
crawled towards the car, dragging herself along the ground; She reached the
rear door and pulled it open to reveal the Green Dragon sitting there with a
pistol in his hand.
"You never give up do you
Nikita, just like years ago when I killed your younger brother." He saw
the shock go through her features. "You didn't think I knew who you were
or why you so desperately wanted to work for me! Come now, I'm not stupid!"
He checked the clip of his pistol. "I've been toying with you for years,
but I have to admit you were a great help to me. I never had to worry that you
wouldn't take care of the business I sent you on until this time." He brought
the gun up and pointed it right at her chest. "To bad you had to fall for
MacKenzie, I was willing to forget your treachery and let you live but now it's
to late." He pulled the trigger; Nikita felt the pain travel through her
chest, the wind was stolen from her lungs as she sunk slowly to her knees in
front of him.
The Green Dragon stood from
the car, pulling a Katana from off of the seat. "Your beautiful face will
decorate my office for all eternity."
"I'm sorry Jayce, I love
you." She whispered.
He brought the Katana over his right shoulder and swung in a downward sweep.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Jayce and Lynn were watching
the evening news; Lynn was just about to change it when the news team went live
to location. The news reporter was standing in the middle of what looked like
a war zone, ambulances, police and FBI agents were running around like maniacs.
Bodies were strewn around the place with white sheets covering them.
"My Gods Jayce, what happened
there?"
"I don't know but I have
this bad feeling that Niki is there.
"It seems that a battle
between the Green Dragon Asian Mafia and the FBI took place at this abandoned
housing complex today, numerous lives were taken here today among them was the
leader of the Mafia, The Green Dragon himself." The reporter turned to
look at where paramedics were carrying a stretcher covered with a white sheet.
"His death was brought
about by one person, one of his own people took his life. The person was Ryan
Foster, she was found at his side with an ancient Samurai's Katana in her hand.
She suffered a fatal gunshot wound and was declared dead at the scene. This
brave woman brought about the fall of one of the strongest Mafia Leaders ever
to be in the State California."
A picture of Niki came up in
the left hand corner of the screen, Jayce went pale, a stabbing pain roared
through her body at the picture of her soulmate on the screen. A high piercing
wail came from her lips; breaking down into sobs she covered her face with her
hands. Lynn pulled her into her arms and rocked her sister.
"I'm so sorry Jayce, I
know your hurting right now. Just remember that what she did, she did so everyone
could live and be safe from people like that man."
They never heard the rest of
the report about how information that the FBI had received led to the arrests
of numerous public officials and other Mafia leaders and their employees. And
that the FBI was investigating a leak in their own organization.
@@@@@@@@@@@
Jayce knew that it was now safe
for her to be able to fly back home with out the fear of being killed. She sat
on her bed holding Nikita's saddlebags in her arms; tears flowed down her cheeks
and dripped onto the worn leather. She opened one bag and pulled out one of
Nikita's T-shirts, putting it up to her nose she breathed in the scent that
lingered there. It was a mixture of leather, obsession and Niki. Searching through
the bag she found a piece of paper that had her name wrote across the front.
More tears coursed down her face and choking sobs tore from her chest.
She unfolded the paper and read
what Niki had written at some point before she left.
"I know that if your reading
this that I didn't make it back to you. Please believe that I love you with
all my heart and one day we will be together again. I will always carry you
in my heart and even in death I will never leave you.
I love you.
Niki.
Jayce collapsed onto her bed
and cried herself to sleep, the next morning she woke with her eyeballs feeling
like they had been dipped in sand. She had to make it to class today, she had
taken the past week off since her return from California and the Dean was not
to happy with her absence. She used the family illness excuse for her time away
but she knew he wouldn't go for her mourning of Niki for any more time away.
He had made it very clear that he would and already had a replacement for her
classes.
@@@@@@@@@@@
She walked into her office and
grabbed some folders off of her desk, she would try to concentrate on teaching
today but she wasn't promising herself or any one else a damn thing. Her heart
hurt too much and she knew she would never be the same. A large piece of her
was missing, a piece that could never be replaced.
She stood before the podium
and talked in a monotone voice, her students swapped looks with each other.
Jayce was dressed in Niki's clothes; her hair was tousled from running her fingers
through it numerous times. Her once expressive green eyes were dull and void;
she was but a shell of her once energetic self.
After she had dismissed her
class half way through, she heard the low murmur of talk coming from her students
as they left. She didn't care what they thought of her; she didn't care about
anything anymore. She left the folders laying on the podium and went home. Stopping
on the way there she went into 7-11 and grabbed a 12 pack of Black and Tan,
she figured she might as well get shit faced, it seemed the only way she could
sleep. After 2 beers she was usually comatose until morning.
Dropping down on her couch she
grabbed the remote and hit the TV on, she never saw what she was watching, it
was like when you look at your watch but still don't know what time it is. What
she saw were pale blue eyes smiling at her, the feel of those strong arms holding
her to either comfort or in sleep. Niki's deep melodious voice caressing her
ear when she would whisper comforting things to her. She could hear her now
just like all the times before telling her how much she loved her.
"I love you Jay, did you
miss me?"
Jay couldn't remember Niki ever
saying that, so it must be her imagination making it up.
"You look like shit, and
what's with the beer?"
"Jay, I think it's time
you saw a doctor, now your voices are telling you what to do outside of your
head!" Jay said to herself. "I'll drink as much beer as I want thank
you very much!"
"OK, but I'm not going
to hold your head while you toss your cookies."
Jay turned her head to look
over her shoulder, there before her stood 6ft of tall dark and very much alive
Niki.
"Oohh my Gods!!!"
Was all she said before she passed out onto the floor.
@@@@@@@@@@
A warmth surrounded her; she
snuggled further into it trying to pull it into her very soul. It had been a
long time since she felt like this, pulling the material close to her nose she
inhaled deeply. "Funny?" She thought to herself. "This smells
to much like dryer sheets, I don't..." Her green eyes blinked open to see
a dark blue wall in front of her. "Weird, I don't remember..." Her
eyes followed up the blue to see a tanned throat then further up to pale blue
eyes twinkling at her.
"This has got to be a hallucination,
you're dead!"
"Hi Baby, miss me?"
Jayce ran her fingers across
Niki's warm moist lips.
"Your warm and breathing!"
"Of course I am" She
chuckled at the wide green eyes. "Baby, I'm not dead nor have I ever been
dead." She proved her point by capturing soft lips with her own. "I
missed you so much."
Jay pushed her down on the bed
and crawled up her body to end up straddling her hips, holding both of Niki's
hands in hers she glared down into blue eyes. "Your dead! I saw it on the
news, they had your body on a stretcher covered with a sheet!"
Niki arched her back, in one
fluid movement she flipped them over. Leaning down she ravaged the pink lips
before her, stealing all arguments from Jay about her being a ghost. She broke
the kiss to nip at the soft skin of Jay's neck, pulling the flesh between her
teeth she sucked until she heard Jay moan. Pulling her shirt collar down she
trailed her tongue across the warm skin. Jayce whimpered beneath her, her fingers
tangled in long chestnut hair. She pushed Niki away from her and took in her
appearance.
"Your hair is a different
color."
Niki ran her fingers through
it and grinned at her. "I dyed it back to it's original color, I figured
it was a good idea since I'm making a new start of things." She brushed
her fingertips across Jays brows, pushing her hair away from sunken cheeks.
"You look terrible and I know it's all my fault, I'm sorry for hurting
you."
Jay pulled her into a hug; their
sobs wracked both of their bodies as they both began to cry.
"Don't you ever do this
to me again!" Jay mumbled into Niki's ear while she pummeled her back with
her fists. "I've been through Hell the last couple of weeks, I wanted to
die right along with you!"
Niki whispered into her ear
calming her down until she fell into an exhausted sleep. Niki followed her moments
later.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Jayce woke up with her limbs
wrapped around a familiar warmth; the heartbeat beneath her ear was slow and
comforting. Inhaling the soft scent of Niki brought tears to her eyes, she had
thought that she had no more to cry but this proved her wrong. Leaning up on
her elbow she gazed at the relaxed face before her, dark circles showed beneath
Niki's eyes and her cheeks showed a hollowness never before there. Jay then
knew that she was not the only one who had suffered. She wanted to do nothing
more than lay here and watch Niki sleep but knew that time was short. She eased
herself free of their tangled arms and legs; stripping off her clothes she dropped
them on the edge of the bed. Before she stepped into the bathroom she saw Niki
roll over and hug her pillow.
She was dressed in her own clothes,
granted they were a pair of worn out, faded and very torn up pair of Levi's
and a thin T-shirt with the saying "The little voices told me, they don't
like you. So go away!" Her hair still wet and her feet bare she sat on
the bed to pull her worn out boots on. A large warm hand ran up under her shirt
to caress her skin.
Niki's sleep thickened voice
reached her ears, the deepness sending a shiver through her body. "Where
ya going?" Leaning back against Niki's side she wrapped one arm around
her and buried her face against a warm neck. "I can't miss class, if I
do the Dean is going to fire me. I wouldn't care but homeless doesn't sound
like to much fun." Niki wrapped an arm around her giving her a tight hug.
"OK, I'll see you later." She placed a soft kiss on Jay's forehead
and let her go. "I love you Jay."
"I love you to Niki, I'll
see you later."
After Jay left for school Niki
found a piece of paper taped to the bathroom mirror, she pulled it down to read.
From the dark of night to the
light of day.
You have always helped me to
find my way.
In the times of sorrow and the
times of pain.
You were the one who always
kept me sane.
Our paths have crossed and then
come back around.
For now I know we are destiny
bound.
You are my destiny
I LOVE YOU
J
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Her students were amazed at
the change in Jayce; she seemed more alive than she had been the day before.
Her actions showed more energy, almost like she was before but not quite there.
What really shocked them was he appearance; she looked more like one of them
than a college professor.
Jayce had her back to her class;
building up her emotions for the scene from one of her own plays that she was
about to tell them. She lead them into it with a deep voice, her descriptions
of the tomb making them feel the cold chilling atmosphere the air held, the
coldness of the concrete slab where two bodies lay covered in white gauze like
material. The pain and anguish of those present to care for the deceased.
The priest knelt before the
two bodies. Filling his heart with all the love he felt for these two people,
he placed his hands upon their foreheads and started a low chant. His head leaning
back fell forward with the effort he put behind his words. A glowing blue light
formed around them encompassing him and the two bodies, as he put more feeling
into his chant the glowing became blinding. Thin streams of color came from
his fingertips to circle around the bodies. A bright blast of color engulfed
the tomb, and then just as suddenly it was gone leaving it dark and cold. The
priest lay exhausted with his head upon the tomb. Fingers once cold with death
twitched, then moved in slowness, seeking out the warmth of their missing companions.
A blonde head turned to look at her soulmates face; the strong contours of her
face white against the darkness around them her long black hair falling over
her shoulders. Leaning up on one elbow she ran her hand across the high cheekbones
of her lover. Blue eyes opened to look back at her. Green and blue orbs locked
together in a binding of souls like none other witnessed before. They moved
with a stiffness of unused muscles to sit upright next to each other. Looking
around they had a feeling of being lost but a comfort that if they were indeed
lost, at least they were together.
"Were back." The blonde
said as she looked at her lover.
"Yeah." The stoic
Warrior Princess agreed.
"We'll be together for
eternity."
The scene faded to black as
the two lovers leaned against each other holding hands.
Turning back around to face
her students she witnessed the awe in their eyes. Some tear filled others in
utter amazement at the picture their professor had painted for them. The emotions
she was able to weld with words. Never had they lived a story as they just had
and probably never would again. Her face showed the lasting emotions of her
story, an almost calmness except for her eyes. As her students got up to leave
the classroom they froze when a tall woman dressed in a black leather trench
coat stood in the doorway. Her pale blue eyes had a fire in them to match what
they were seeing in their professors green eyes. All eyes watched as she walked
down the steps towards Jay, mesmerized at the sparks shooting between the two.
They heard her say. "I got your poem. For eternity." Jay and Niki
came together in a deep passionate kiss, Jay pulled herself up to wrap her legs
around Niki's hips, pulling their bodies as close as possible. Her students
stared with mouths hanging open, they now knew the reason behind her change
in mood and thought it best to give them some privacy.
Niki walked towards the desk
in the room, she turned so that she was sitting on it. Her legs were so weak
she knew that if she hadn't sat down they would have fallen in a heap on the
floor. Jay broke the kiss to explore the soft skin of Niki's neck, nipping the
pulse point set felt a shutter pass through Niki's body, running her hand down
the front of Niki's chest stopping at her firm breast. Running her palm against
her nipple she felt it swell beneath her hand, becoming harder the more she
rubbed it with her palm. Niki was moaning into her ear, setting her body on
fire with the sound. She pulled an ear lobe into her mouth and sucked, her warm
breath blowing in Niki's ear was pure torture to her.
"Jay, Gods! If we don't
stop now, I'm going to take you right on this desk."
Jay murmured between nips of
warm flesh. "So take me."
"Not here...ooohhh my...please
Jay...lets go...ooohhh Gods...home!"
"Your no fun." She
crawled off Niki slowly making sure she rubbed herself against her on her way
down to the floor.
Niki sat there gasping for air,
sweat trickled down her temples. She clutched the desktop trying to gain some
control.
"You are a wicked wicked
woman!"
"I know!" Green eyes
blazed with a feral passion. "Come on I have plans for you." She grabbed
her by the front of her black Levi's and dragged her on rubbery legs from the
room.
"How'd you get here."
"I walked." Now I
get to stumble all the way back, she wanted to add. She groaned at the throbbing
between her legs. Jay grabbed the end of her belt and worked it free so that
it looked like Niki was on a leash. She pulled her all the way home that way
with people giving them funny looks. Jay didn't give a damn what it looked like,
she had waited to long for this woman and no one was going to stop her now.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Jay kicked her door closed,
grabbing the lapels of Niki's duster she pushed the coat back over her shoulders
trapping her arms in the sleeves, walking her backwards all the way to her bedroom
while pulling the buttons of her shirt off with her teeth. Niki was scared shitless,
she was in desperate trouble here and it all stemmed from her over active imagination.
"I want you to teach me
every thing you know." Jay pulled her shirt and duster off in one swift
movement then pushed her back onto her bed.
"Uuhhmm Baby..." One
of her nipples was taken between a pair of hot lips. "I...oohh Gods...that
feels soo...good!"
Jay unbuttoned her Levi's and
pulled them down over her hips and was stunned when she found a pair of hips
clad in men's briefs. "Of all the damn times for you to put on underwear!"
Niki gave her a smirk as she wiggled to help Jay with her remaining clothes.
"Sorry Baby, I wasn't planing on this." An eyebrow raised over green
eyes. "At least not this early...you know this morning...ohhh...."
She forgot what she was going to say the minute Jay's clothes hit the floor
beside hers.
A warm wet tongue wiggled it's
way between her toes then down across the arch of her foot, licking her way
all the way up the inside of Niki's thigh and making a detour around the place
she most wanted to feel her tongue. Her back was arched up off of the bed she
gripped the sheets in her fingers, turning her knuckles white. Jay licked her
way across the patch of dark curls and over to Niki's hip. She found a red line
right below her hip bone, placing a soft kiss on it she looked up into half
lidded blue eyes. Niki knew why she had stopped what she was doing.
"I kinda got shot."
Her head hit the bed when she
felt Jay's tongue trace where the sutures had been. She didn't know how much
more she could take from her so-called Virgin, flames were all ready licking
at her throbbing center any more of this and she was lost. She wrapped Jay up
with her legs, holding her where she was kneeling on the floor.
"Hey, why'd you stop me?"
"Baby your going to fast,
we have to slow down a bit." She reached down to pull her up onto the bed
beside her. Jay saw the huge dark blue bruise over Niki's heart.
"What's this from? I didn't
do it did I?"
"No baby, that's where
I took a bullet in the chest. Damn kevlar takes the bullet but you still hurt
like Hell. Jay ran her fingers across the discoloration then kissed it. "Any
more spots I should know about?" Niki pointed to her shoulder where the
vest hadn't protected her, then the other place on her thigh.
"How many times did you
get shot?"
"Uuuhhmm 3 times, this
time anyway. I'm OK doesn't hurt anymore."
"I'll kiss them and make
them feel better."
Jay captured Niki's lips, it
started slow and gentle the progressed as a hunger engulfed them both. Teeth
gnashing and biting while hands roamed over heated skin. Jay straddled Niki's
hips, pushing herself against Niki's center she brought a loud moan and shutter
from her lover. Niki didn't know what to do with her hands. So she opted for
grabbing Jay's firm ass to pull her in closer to her center.
Breaking away form their kiss
Niki asked her. "Baby, are you sure your a Virgin?"
"Uuhh huh." She said
between kisses to Niki's upper chest. "Why?" She said as her tongue
ran down between her breasts licking the salty skin. "Can't you tell?"
"Jay, I've never done this
before."
Jay stopped what she was doing
to look into scared blue eyes. "But all the story's about bars and threesomes?"
"Uuhhmm.... Nope...fantasy....
Never went in a bar before." She gave her a lopsided grin.
"You're a Virgin?"
Green eyes looked at her with amazement then warmed to pure love. She couldn't
believe that this beautiful woman was giving something so priceless to her.
Tears welled in both of their eyes as they thought about the gift they would
give to each other. Jay moved up Niki's body, wrapping her arms around her,
she buried her face against her neck. Niki ran her fingers up and down Jay's
sweat moistened back, bringing shivers across her skin. She whispered into Jay's
ear.
"You are my first and last,
you own me heart and soul."
Jay met her eyes. "I have
always been yours. For eternity." She slipped her thigh between Niki's,
feeling her wetness coat her skin she moaned against soft lips. Rolling her
hips forward she pushed into her. Niki raised her thigh to let Jay ride against
her wet skin now coated with Jay's juices. They moved slowly together, building
up to the thresh hold they so desperately wanted to reach. Jay could feel Niki's
body starting to tense; she slipped one hand between them and ran her fingers
between silky wet folds. Finding her center she teased her opening with one
fingertip. Niki was writhing beneath her. She gasped that she wanted to feel
her inside of her. With her thumb she rubbed the swollen bundle of nerves and
felt Niki's body jerk, as she was going over the edge Jay entered her, sending
her over in an earth shattering climax. Niki screamed out her name, her arms
falling to her sides as she gasped for air. Before she had settled, Jay slowly
pumped her finger back and forth taking her back up. Taking one of her nipples
between her lips she teased the tip with her tongue as she pushed her own center
against her lovers thigh. She could feel her own climax approaching, just before
she was about to go over she tipped her finger up and hit the soft area inside
of Niki. They crashed screaming out each other's names.
Niki put her fingers beneath
Jay's chin, raising her face up to put a gentle kiss upon her lips. When the
kiss broke. They noticed that they each had tears in their eyes. "I didn't
hurt you did I?" Jay asked her lover.
"No Baby. I love you Jay."
"I love you to, with everything
that I am."
They cuddled together and let
sleep claim them.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Jay tried to roll over to get
away from the sunlight shinning in her eyes from the window, but there was a
weight holding her down in place. She moved her hand down to the weight on her
stomach and felt silky hair fall through her fingers. A bright smile came to
her lips as she remembered the night before. "Who would have known?"
She thought to herself about her lover. She chuckled when she remembered Niki's
confession to her, she was so scared herself and was surprised it see fear in
her lovers eyes.
"What's so funny?"
Niki left a kiss on Jay's stomach before she moved up to snuggle against her
neck.
"Oohh it's just that I was so worried last night about paling in comparison
to your other lovers."
"Uhh huh, so I had you
fooled?"
"There's no words I can
think of." She squeezed her lover to her and placed a kiss on the crown
of her dark head. "Niki, I want to know what happened that day of the drop
off, I saw stuff on the news that day and it still hurts."
Niki took a deep breath and
let it out slowly, she knew this day would come and she was in a way looking
forward to it. Once Jay knew everything, they could move on with their lives
together.
"How many hours have you
got?"
"We have the whole weekend,
is it that bad?"
"Yep, and it's long."
She moved up into a sitting position next to her lover. Jay ran her fingers
across the dark bruise on her chest and thanked the Gods that Niki had been
wearing a vest that day.
"It all started 6 years
ago with my brother Ryan, he was an FBI agent in deep cover with the Green Dragon
Mafia. He was trying to find out how they were finding out who the agents were.
The FBI was loosing 3 agents a month to hits. No one in the Agency knew who
he was or what he was doing there; he had never been put on the rosters as an
Agent. That way the Dragons couldn't find him in the database anywhere.
Ryan worked his way up through
the ranks from just a drug dealer to being at the right hand of the bosses.
He was so close to getting the leak in the Agency when something went wrong."
She stopped to wipe the tears from her eyes; the pain that she had felt at the
time all this happened came back to her. Jay comforted her by pulling her close
to her, rocking her back and forth. "Someone from his past recognized him,
it was a guy who had turned states evidence on another Mafia Don and had been
put into witness protection. He came out of hiding to work for the Dragons,
the minute he saw Ryan he ran to one of the bosses who went to the Green Dragon
himself and told him who Ryan was.
The Green Dragon called him
into his office and confronted him about what was said. Ryan said the guy was
lying and he had never had any dealings with the FBI. What Ryan didn't know
was that the guy had given his real name to his boss and the Green Dragon called
his contact and had him check."
"What was his real name
if it wasn't Ryan Foster? You have me all confused with these names." Jay
said in a low throaty voice, her emotions were so raw from what she had thought
happened to Niki and now with hearing about her brother.
His full name was Ryan Nicholas
Foster Scalani. The FBI, before the Green Dragon case knew him as Ryan Nicholas.
And he was still in the computer as that. Someone forgot to take all the information
out on him."
"Oh Gods Jay! Some computer
geek fucked up and your brother lost his life because of it?"
"Not just some computer
geek, the geek is my older brother Buddy."
"The one who got us the
jet?"
"One in the same, Buddy
left the FBI afterwards and disappeared for over a year before I found him."
"I'm so sorry Niki, I didn't
mean to have you bring this all up." Tears filled Jay's eyes; it hit her
that for them to met 2 people had to die for it to happen. "So are you
an FBI Agent?"
"Nope, I don't work for
any of the agency's officially. They paid me for my services, but that was all."
"So what are you?"
"Have you ever saw the
movie Point of no return?"
"Yeah, with Bridgett
Fonda. Don't tell me you work for one of those agencies!"
"No Baby, I don't work
for them, I own one. Buddy does all the computer stuff and Ma is the book keeper,
plus she was my point of contact."
Jay fell over on her back and
groaned, she felt like she should run out and buy a trench coat and a 357 magnum.
"OK, I think I can handle that...geez I'm in love with a spy!"
Niki laid down on top of her and gave her a quick kiss. "Nope, former High
Tech Investigator. I'm retired, now I'm homeless and jobless. Still love me
now that I'm a bum?"
"Let me think about that."
Niki wiped the smirk off of her face with a hungry kiss.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The whole weekend was spent with them making love, in the bedroom, bathroom,
kitchen, living room, Niki said no to the Hog, she was too sore to sit on it
for to long. They ended up falling asleep on the couch early Sunday night after
watching the 6pm News where they learned that the FBI had found the leak in
there Agency and he was now being held in a Federal Prison to await charges
along with numerous Politicians. Jay knew then that her father would have been
one of them if he had not been murdered. Niki comforted her when she broke down.
Jay said that what she was thinking was cruel but she had come to the conclusion
that it was better for her father to be dead than to have to go through the
trial and jail time for what he did. He would never have survived the prison
sentence.
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Monday morning rolled around
way to early, Jay had an early staff meeting where the Dean had an announcement
to make. Jay was worried that it was to tell her she was fired and to toss her
out the door. She had butterflies in her stomach; it was so bad that she couldn't
eat breakfast which was a first in a very long time. Niki couldn't help but
laugh when she turned green and ran for the bathroom. She waited for her outside
of the bathroom door.
"Baby are you OK?"
"UUUUHHHH!!!!!! I'm gonna
die!! This is worse than a hangover!" She was pale when she came out and
fell into her lovers arms.
"You'll be all right once
you get into the meeting, if not just throw up on the Dean, tell him your sick
and come home." She felt a small chuckle vibrate against her chest. "If
he was going to fire you, I don't think he would call a staff meeting."
"No, I guess your right.
I gotta get going or I'm going to be running in there and making an ass out
of myself." Niki gave her a soft kiss on the lips then her forehead.
"I'll meet you for lunch,
OK?"
"OK, I love you Niki."
"I love you to and don't
worry it'll be all right."
@@@@@@@@@@@@
The Dean stood at the head of
the table in the large conference room waiting for every one to get seated.
He was a short round bald headed man with small round glasses perched on his
nose. He had a habit of looking at people over the tops of them. He thought
that it made him look intimidating but when your 5'2" How mean can you
look? He pulled a pocket watch out of his vest pocket and clicked it closed
after he saw that it was time for him to start the meeting.
Walking up to the edge of the
table he looked over his glasses, the professors all tried not to snicker at
him. However, some failed but covered their noises by coughing, it sounded like
they had the whooping cough.
"I have a very important
announcement to make, with our staff problem brought to my attention, I found
that there was only one thing to do."
Jay's heart fell to her feet,
her face went pale and sweat broke out on her brow. If she had been able to
move she would have run from the room. Instead she sunk further down into her
chair. And thought "Here it comes!"
"I have hired another professor
to take over."
Jay felt a darkness invading
in on her vision, she was about to pass out and fall out of her chair. Then
she heard him say Criminal Sciences. Her vision came back to her and so did
her breathing, she hadn't noticed that she had stopped.
"Criminal Sciences. As
you know Professor Robert's has left our school to teach at the FBI Academy
in Quantico Virginia. So I have Hired Professor Nikita Angelique Scalani."
Jay did fall out of her chair
at the mention of her lovers name, the professor next to her helped her up off
of the floor only to grab a hold of her again when Niki came through the door
in a black Italian cut suit. She looked like she had just come from a meeting
with the Godfather but damn did she look hot. Crystal blue eyes caught Jay as
she struggled to sit in her chair, her face a bright red from embarrassment
and her jaw slack from shock.
"Everyone this is Professor
Scalani. We welcome you to our little college."
Niki bowed her head at the rest
of the staff and shocked the Hell out of Jay by thanking them with an Italian
accent. She just got an evil little fantasy running her through her head involving
that accent. "You are full of surprises Niki, and pay backs are a bitch!"
Jay stood outside of the conference
room waiting for the Dean to finish with her lover; the minute he walked out
she jumped through the door, closed it and locked it. Advancing on her lover
with flames in her eyes she came to stand toe to toe with her.
"You...! I can't believe...Why
didn't..."
Niki dropped her head and stopped
her stuttering with a deep passionate kiss.
"Surprise Baby!"
"You're a professor? How
old are you? And the accent!?!"
"UUhhmm 26. Baby you're
not the only child prodigy ya know, and I'm from Sicily." A wicked gleam
came to her eye along with a grin. "Is it so bad that you would be married
to a lowly college professor?"
"If that's your way of
proposing, the answer is yes I will. But I was so set on being a Mafia wife!"
"Destiny be damned Baby.
But we can pretend I'm a God Father."
Classes were canceled that day for both English Lit and Criminal Sciences because
the Professors were to busy celebrating their soon to be marriage.
