This is the second chapter in a series. Although it can be read on it's own, parts of the story may make more sense when read in order. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy.
Alicia sighed. Laslie wasn't entirely certain what was wrong, but she had been very nervous of late. As he thought back, he realized she'd been this way ever since Valentines day. Surely she could still be worried about accidentally killing him. Could she? He looked over at her, briefly taking his eyes from the road before him. He almost became enthralled by the vision of her beauty and had to force himself back to the task at hand.
She had cut her hair, however it never lacked in body. Before, her light brown locks carefully enshrouded her head, to narrow at her neck and curl outwards once more and bounce just above her shoulders. No longer did the ends flip teasingly outward. Now, her hair narrowed daintily into a fine point at the nape of her neck. Laslie wished he knew how she managed to keep her hair so styled at those short lengths. Should he ever grow his hair it would instantly tangle. The other, added, advantage to his near-crewcut style was that the slight green tint of his otherwise dark hair was less likely to draw attention.
Alicia wore a light, cotton, blouse that normally billowed about her. Trapped in the car, with the seatbelt cutting across her chest, the light material seemed to cling to her wonderful breasts. What's more, pressed tight to her body, the thin fabric revealed the silhouette of the teal bra she wore beneath it. He knew, without having to look, that her bikini would match the bra. She was meticulous about such things.
Because of her size, she could comfortably sit in the jeep's oversized seat with her knees pressed to her chest and her toes against the edge. Her black skirt draped around her legs. He loved to watch it flow in the breeze, as she walked. He grinned as he thought, not for the first time on the trip to his Freehome, how easy it would be to slip a hand beneath all that material. As with every other time the urge came to him, Alicia's head spun towards him in indignation. He was pretty sure she would enjoy the torment, but resisted because of her look.
She didn't read his mind, but she did know what he was contemplating. Alicia, as heavily empathic as she was, knew exactly how lascivious his thoughts were. The two had been together long enough that she also knew he loved watching her squirm at the heights of orgasm. In fact, they had never had any kind of sexual encounter that hadn't ended in both of them finishing; usually at the same time. His grin widened as he contemplated making this the first time. With him driving, she wouldn't dare try to retaliate!
His eyes darted back to her briefly, before returning to the road. His heart nearly jumped to his throat as he noticed her expression. It was one he'd learned over the last month, one that caused instant desire and the slightest hint of fear. Her eyes spoke of a hunger far more primal than feeding. She spoke of being the hunter, and he no more than prey. It was a decidedly foreign concept for the Sidhe male. Laslie could put even the strongest mortal bodybuilder to shame with a single arm.
Alicia had proven, occasionally, over the last month, that she could dominate him completely. After so much futile resistance, the primal center of Laslie's brain instantly submitted to that look. His pride, however, could not let him concede without a legitimate struggle. Fortunately, that very struggle only seemed to excite her more.
He felt her breath against his cheek and his stomach knotted with fear and anticipation. She had leaned across the gap between the seats so quickly. Like her strength, she could move so fast that he could never hope to follow. The Sidhe knew tricks and spells to enhance their, already formidable, physical capabilities, but nothing could compare to her.
Alicia was a vampire. The Dhase, as they preferred to be called, did not feed on blood, but rather the spiritual energy, the Chi, of the living. Beyond that simple fact, most of the rest of the myths seemed to hold true. She could move faster than time itself, overpower even the strongest of Sidhe with ease, and even read the thoughts of those around her. Laslie knew each of those claims to be an exaggeration, but not by much.
And she's only a little over a hundred! Imagine what the ancients would be like.
"You're thinking of slipping a hand beneath my skirt and tormenting me while you drive." Or, maybe she
could
read his mind. In his peripheral vision he could see her kneeling on the edge of her seat with her hands planted on his armrest. Mostly what he saw was her perfect breasts swell beneath the loose shirt.
"You're cheating! You never said telepathy was in the Dhase bag of tricks." His laughter took any potential sting out of the words.
"It can be," she admitted, "but not one of mine. I just know what that expression means." A shudder ran down Laslie's body, powerful enough to force his concentration to his hands on the wheel, as Alicia's breath trickled across his earlobe. "I didn't even need a taste of that exquisitely naughty temperament. Nothing more than the look in your eyes." This time, her movement brushed against him like a gentle breeze. "Was this what you wanted?"
He glanced over, but that was all it took. His faded, blue jeans seemed to tighten. He couldn't quite get enough breath. Alicia was a master
~or would that be mistress?~
of this game. She sat in her seat with her knees together and flat against the cushion. Her body curved with feline grace, such that her right hip lay on the seat but she leaned against the door. Her large skirt draped over her, but somehow failed to cover her. His pulse raced as a hint of teal shone between her legs. She had perfected the art of the subtle flirt, in such a way that left Laslie feeling that he had snuck a glance at her. Every glimpse she offered felt like the forbidden fruit, and all the more sweet for it's felonious acquisition.
