*Thea's apartment *
After calling her supervisor, and checking in on Ace with Mrs. Pembroke, she called Faye. After the second ring, Faye picked up.
"Oh my god Thea, you are OK. Where have you been? Are you hurt? I have been worried sick. Where have you been? I didn't know whether that jerk face was telling the truth or not, WHERE. HAVE......"Faye asked her in one breath.
"FAYE. Breath. I am OK, I was worried about you. The last time I saw you, you were pretty messed up. Tell me what happened and who is "jerk face"? Thea asked in an equally worried tone.
After Faye explained what had happened, Thea did the same. They both decided that for now there were enough details and neither one wanted to ask the other about what they knew about vampires. They were just happy that the other was OK. Saying goodbye, Thea got up and got in her pajamas and plopped down on bed with her face down and instantly she was asleep and she began to dream.
** dream sequence**
Thea slowly opened her eyes, she was in a white room on a big canopy bed, and she was wearing a white satin slip that was mid-thigh with flirty lace and a slit on the side. There was a light breeze that played through the canopy curtains, with the breeze flew flower petals like a gentle rain. Her gaze was on the approaching figure. Her heart rate increased as she saw a man behind the sheer curtain. Lucius came into clear view. He wore dark jeans that hung low on his hips. His unbuttoned black shirt was open to his muscular chest. Her breath hitched at the raw lust in his eyes. He kept his gaze on her as he put his knee on the bed, and leaned in on one of his hands and his other traveled up her smooth bare leg. Thea closed her eyes at the sensation that reached her all the way to her soul.
Lucius crawled over Thea as she laid back with her eyes closed and her lips slightly apart. She looked exquisite beneath him. He hovered over her with his hands on either side of her face. Slowly he nuzzled her neck.
"dulce"* he whispered, seductively.
Thea arched as his tongue flicked over her pulse. Slowly, Lucius lifted his head from the crock of her neck, his hand cupped her face, tracing his thumb over her lower lip, and she sighed. Thea opened her eyes and gazed up at Lucius. She slowly raised herself to the sit. She ran her hand down his bare chest as if trying to commit him to memory forever. She felt a shiver run through his body. Smiling, she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his jaw. Thea looked up and saw Lucius's eyes were closed and a blissful look on his face, and when he opened his eyes they were glowing tensely.
"Ce îmi faci?" * He whispered, crushing his lips on her in a heated kiss. Thea moaned and sat up further so that she could kiss him more deeply. Both of them were kneeling on the silk-covered bed holding and touching each other as if there was only that moment left for them.
He kissed her deeply, the tip of his tongue traced her lips asking for permission to enter, Thea parted her lips and allowed him to plunge into her sweet mouth. She arched into his chest as her tongue stroked his, and heat ran through her entire body. She found her hands buried in his hair, bringing him closer to her.
Lucius gently pushed her back on the bed without breaking the kiss, he braced his weight on his elbows. Thea protested when Lucius ended the kiss but moaned a second later as his lips found the tender spot on her neck. His hands hooked under the strap of her slip and he gently pulled it off her shoulder, kissing the now bare skin.
"Lucius" Thea moaned as his kiss went lower towards her now mostly exposed breasts.
"Trust in me, my sweet angel" he asked, lifting his head from her chest.
"I do," she whimpered as he licked her breast just above her n*****s. She wanted to touch him as he was, she put her hands under his unbuttoning shirt and started to pull it down....... **
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Thea jolted awake in her bed, her body still shaking and humming. At the same time, Lucius had bolted straight up in his bed, with his sheets tangled around his body. Both of them were shaking with intense need.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Another series of loud knocks shook Thea out of her trance state, it was still light outside. With shaky legs she made her way to the door. Looking through the peephole she found a rather handsome man at the door.
"Can I help you?" she asked from behind the closed door.
"Ms. Sullivan?"
"Yes?!"
"Hi, I am Detective Erickson from the New Orleans police department." He said, holding up his badge to the peephole.
"I was hoping to speak with you about an incident that occurred last night," he finished.
Thea frowned as she opened the door.
"What incident?" she asked cautiously.
"The one where you and your friend Faye were attacked."
She never informed the police of anything. So how did this detective end up here?
" I am not sure what you are talking about" she said, frowning.
"Mind if we talk inside?" he asked sweetly.
"Um, sorry, but I don't have anything to say about whatever you are talking about." Thea was getting suspicious of him.
"It will only take a minute and I have a witness that has seen everything, and the cuts and bruises on your face. I can say for sure that something did happen last night, " he insisted.
"Um, if it's that important, maybe I could come down at a later time?"
The detective sighed, shook his head and, without warning, he pushed the door so hard it caused Thea to fall back on her ass. The supposed detective stepped inside.
"Now, why did you have to make things so difficult? Look what happened." he said, kicking the door close.
Thea opened her mouth to scream but he was on her in an instant. He grabbed her by the throat and hauled her to her feet.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" he seethed, squeezing.
He bought his face closer to hers and smiled.
"Viktor didn't tell me you were hot, and a blond at that. I love blonds."
Her heart sank at his words.
"What do you want?" Thea gasped.
"me, nothing. Viktor, on the other hand, wants you delivered to him, alive." He smirked.
"But he didn't say anything about not having some fun first", his coffee breath was too close to her face.
Thea struggled to get free, but the more she struggled the tighter his hold on her throat got.
"Keep struggling, I love the challenge" he said, amused at her efforts to get free.
Without a warning, she kicked out and connected with his shin. He hissed in pain and let her go to grab his leg. Thea bolted towards her bedroom. She heard him curse and charge after her. She was just about to slam the door when he stuck his foot in the way. Thea whimpered at her failed attempt and pushed the door with all the strength she had, but in the end she lost and he pushed it open, making Thea fall again.
"Oh, I get it, you wanted to play in the bedroom," she slides back as he comes towards her.
"All you had to do was tell me, I am an accommodating guy."
Thea got off the floor and went for her phone but she was yanked back by her hair and thrown on her bed face down. She felt his weight on her, his knee digging into her back. Thea winced and a tear rolled down her cheek. She was struggling to breathe.
" Don't worry, I will give you the best you ever had" she heard him chuckle arrogantly.
She fought to get loose but she couldn't. He came down close to her ear and kissed the side of her face. She cringed in disgust. She felt his hands on her come under kami on the side of her waist and Thea fought harder, but no use.
"God you’re so soft," he breathed heavily in her ear, as his hands started to travel downwards, toward her pajama bottoms and under their waist band.
"NO, stop, LET ME GO. " Thea said as loud as she could, but her words had no effect on him. He continued his course. She felt his rough hands on her s*x and she whimpered. She breathed in as deeply as she could and let a scream out of her lungs, but it was not loud enough to reach anywhere, she felt helpless. She hissed in a breath when his rough finger entered her forcefully.
"So tight," he murmured in her ear. Thea let a soft sob escape and she felt him smile against her cheek.
" Why so stiff, let lose baby, I got you" he said smugly, then he shifted off her and turned her around to face him. Before Thea could make a move, he was straddling her, again making it difficult for her to breathe. He started to unbuckle his belt, Thea punched and kicked. She was trying her hardest to get free. She was getting tired. Her efforts had no effect.
BOOM BOOM BOOM.
"Ms. Sullivan?" she heard a muffled male voice. The so-called detective stopped and tensed. Being caught off guard, he gave Thea the opportunity to gather all the strength she could and screamed.
"HELP M..." she was cut off by a slap that resounded in the room, splitting her lip and leaving her ears ringing. He grabbed her by the throat and squeezed tightly, causing her to gasp for air. Her throat burned and her eyes watered.
"Try that again b***h and you will regret it" he hissed, and loosened his grip slightly, Thea dug her nails into his arms. They both listened and heard nothing. Her heart sank, her scream went unheard. Her tears escaped her eyes.
"Now where were..." he was cut off by a loud crashing sound, as the front door blasted open.
"New Orleans police department" she heard. The man on top of her moved off her, grabbed her by the hair, she screamed and he yanked her in front of him. From under his jacket he upholstered his gun and put it on her waist. His other arm put Thea in a light choke hold. Just then another man peeked around the door frame.
"Let her go. This is not going to end well for you", she heard him outside.
"That's funny, here I thought I had the advantage, seeing that I have the girl" he said, moving her along with him towards the window.
"You and I both know that Viktor will kill you very slowly, if you hurt her."
"Awe, I am touched by your care for my well-being, but right now all I want is to leave here with what I came for." he said, moving towards the window.
"You know I can't let you do that" she saw the other cop come into view with his gun pointed straight at him.
"Are you alright? he asked Thea, but kept his eyes at the man behind her.
"Get this freak off me" she replied hoarsely.
" Awe, and here I thought we were getting closer" he said from behind her. Thea knew she needed to give the other cop a clear shoot for this to be over.
She bought her head forward and then, without any warning, smashed it back into his nose. He yelped in pain and loosened his hold. She pushed her self-back into his chest and slammed him against the wall behind them. He let her go and Thea moved out of the way. Before he had the chance to recover, she heard a shot being fired.
