2014
The clouds covered the sky as Layne stood on a roof looking down for someone; she was on a hunt she had till midnight to get him. The government wanted him dead and bad enough they contacted her boss, the head of the New York Russian Mob, Niko. Niko was a hard sell, not usually liking to cooperate with government officials. He had a thing for authority which is what, he liked to say, made him such a good boss himself. But this apparently had been an offer he couldn't refuse. Not only had he agreed to the deal, he'd assigned his best hitter to take the shot, Layne. Niko and Layne were close. More than just boss and employee, they were literally family. Abandoned as an infant, Layne would have surely died of cold and starvation if 6 year old Niko hadn't found her and begged his father to take her in. Eventually she was adopted. There was no better brother than Niko. He was an uncompromising boss but an understanding brother. She was glad to do as he asked of her.
The wind blew over the city. Layne thickened her body hair and a little more fat to keep warm. A useful trick compliments of her skin walker abilities, her greatest asset as Niko's right hand. Even with the extra bio layers, Layne couldn't help but think "Fuck, its cold! Stupid target needs to get his dead man walking ass into my sights soon. Right fucking now would be nice."
The universe must have heard her because in the next second as she leaned down, Layne saw the guy she'd been waiting for. "Finally," she thought and jumped down, changing through the drop into a super model recently seen on TV. She could have shot him from the roof. She was an excellent sharp shooter. But after waiting for the last two hours on a cold roof, bored out of her mind, she felt like playing a little. The dark sky helped with changing forms so no one saw anything. No one ever did. Not since she was little and still learning to shift, anyway. And Niko always took care of those people.
Super model Layne followed her target into a bar and watched him order a drink for him and a round of beer for some friends. Her phone vibrated in her bra. She ignored it at first. The only person to bother her on a job was Niko when he thought she was taking too long to take care of business. Since she just talked to him that morning, she knew it wasn't him. Anyone else could wait. She waited till he had a few drinks then grabbed one herself and followed the group over to the pool tables. They were all concentrating and having a good time. She bumped into him and dropped her drink.
Mr. About to be Dead Midnight turned toward Layne, indignant, "Hey! Watch?..oh sorry". His eyes widened as he got a good look at her.
Layne smiled apologetically and slurred slightly, "Sorry, slipped on my new heels." She knew he thought she was on her way to drunk, easy to take advantage of. He smiled and offered his hand, "No harm done, Bella. Name is Kaden. Want to play a game?" Layne thought, I already am. She grasped his hand lightly replying with her assumed name, "Andrea Moulin. Yes, I'd love to play. On one condition." She tilted her head flirtatiously. His face brightened as his eyes surveyed her with explicit intention. "And what condition might that be?" She returned his hot look. "If I win, you have to come home with me." Kaden licked his bottom lip unconsciously and pronounced, "Deal!" as he handed her his pool stick.
His buddies hooted and hollered as Layne made the break then hit four balls in but missed the fifth one deliberately, though no one seemed to notice the forced scratch. Kaden made three and I hit the rest of mine. The battle came down to the eight ball. Layne flashed her cleavage at him and bent over the table, took aim and? straight into the corner pocket. She sauntered over to him and smirked. "Guess you're coming home with me," "Guess so, but if you don't mind I'll take a consolation prize." He pulled Layne into his body and kissed her open mouthed. Layne was not impressed and it aggravated her to have someone take such liberties with her body or personal space, but she forced herself to relax and respond eagerly before pulling away. Her watched beeped the hour causing Layne to check the time. It was getting late and she had plans tonight. Time to bring the game to a close. So she leaned into him and whispered in his ear that she was ready whenever he was. Immediately he turned and waved to his friend's goodbye. They went to Layne's borrowed apartment, locked the door and the next thing no one heard was the silenced POP and a body dropping to the floor. Game over. Part of Layne sighed. She might have gotten a decent fuck out of him first, and why not, it had been a while. Being an the most trusted shot of a mob boss didn't inspire men to take her out in any way that didn't end up with her near dead. But time was of the essence tonight. It was the night before Samhain and this place and its people were not how Layne wanted to spend the holiday. Now that the job was done, she was on her own time. Niko would take care of everything else.
Speaking of Niko and free time, she had to call him. "Niko, I want to go back to Russia for Samhain this year. Mind if I take a few weeks off?" He considered both her and her request. She'd done well, as always. She deserved a break and he didn't need her for anything right now. "Yeah, go ahead but if I get to be knee deep in bodies and need you, you will come home." She gave him a "duh" look then smiled playfully. "No need to call me home when I'll already be there."
Niko rolled his eyes. "Smart ass. Does Papa need to know you'll be in the area?"
"Nah. He'll only think I'm coming because you sent me. Like I'm the troublemaker who needs looking after."
"You are trouble and you do need looking after."
"You're keeper enough, big brother. Am I free to go now?"
"Class dismissed. Be safe, little sister. Blessed be."
Layne went to her own home, grateful to be free of obligations for the next month. She already had the family plane on standby and a bag packed. Not wasting any time, Layne grabbed her things and headed to the airport. Once on board, she stripped out of her clothes and took a warm shower. After the cold of that roof and playing pool in those damn skyscraping heels, the water was exactly what she needed. Afterward she pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top, went straight to bed and collapsed. Hours later, she woke feeling much more refreshed. It was nearly daylight and she was almost home. She ate breakfast and read a novel until the plane touched down. Niko must have called ahead because a car was ready and waiting for her. A solid black Lamborghini. Layne drooled and thought Gods, I love my brother! And what a sweet ride it was. It took the turns and curves like a woman cradling a lover. The trip to her estate took no time at all. She parked the car in the large underground garage and carried her things to her room on the second floor. As she unpacked, Layne heard a noise from another room. She froze, listening for it again. There, down the hall! No one was supposed to be here. She immediately went on alert and shut off all the lights in her room. The hallway was dark as she crept silently toward the room she'd heard the noise from. She waited a moment and then?. CRASH! Kicked in the door, weapon drawn. A lamp in the room was on and a woman was tied up and wounded, bleeding from her temple. I walked over and untied her mouth.
"Don't hurt me" she started sobbing.
"Who brought you here?"
"A man, I've only seen him at night, who are you, what do you want from me"
"What does he look like; don't worry about me, nothing right now till I find out why you are here"
"My name is Aria Polzin"
Layne started to untie her but knew it would be better to leave her bound while she did a sweep of the house and checked the security system. And she needed to call her brother and Papa. Whoever would be so bold and so smart to get into her house and leave her a possibly dangerous person to deal with needed to be identified, found and dealt with him? Layne looked at the woman. "I'll be right back."
She walked through the entire house one room at a time locking every door as she went along. She found nothing and no one. She set the alarm and called her boss. He wanted to send someone over to check things out and guard her, but Layne told him there was nothing and she was tired and wanted to be left alone. She'd keep watch through the night and if she felt there was need, she'd take him up on the offer in the morning. Niko was in no way satisfied but there wasn't much he could do from his base in New York. He grumbled and hung up. Layne went back to the woman, Aria.
"Listen to me very carefully. This is my house. This is my family's land. I don't know you and I don't know why you're here and I don't care. You are a stranger and a threat and you will be treated as such until I know more about who you and what brought you here. There is only one way out of this place and it is known only to me. If you try to run, I will take that as a sign that you are indeed a danger to me and I will kill you faster than you can blink, and no one will ever know. Is that understood?" She nodded but didn't speak. Layne looked around the room but found nothing that might belong to the strange woman. "Do you have anything with you? Clothes, necessary items?" Aria shook her head then groaned from the motion. It was still bleeding. Layne sighed. Great, now I have to play nursemaid to someone who could have been sent her to kill me. Not that it would be a first, but still. "Come with me," she told Aria and led her to the bathroom to clean and dress the wounds. As she did so, she felt a curious tug from inside her, the place where she always felt her power sleeping until it was needed. Going with instinct, Layne opened herself and let just a think ribbon of her power separate from her and encircle the stranger. By this, she'd be able to catch a thought or two, or a person's general intent. She sensed no wrong doing, no wish to harm. Layne trusted her magic, so she would listen to it, but since there was no harm in being cautious, she would keep what she learned to herself and keep the woman at a distance. In the meantime, it looked like Layne had to take care of her.
"What size do you where and what do you want to eat?"
Aria was surprised into answering, "8 and you're going to let me eat?"
"Okay and yes. You might as well not be afraid. If and or when I want you dead, dead you shall be before you know anything about it."
Layne led a silent and wary Aria to the kitchen downstairs. "The cabinets and refrigerator are always kept stalked for me. Help yourself"
Aria swallowed nervously. "Are you sure?"
"Yes. The security tapes show you were moved here a few days ago. You lost blood. You must have food and water. Help yourself."
She got up and walked carefully, she looked so young but by her eyes you could tell she was a little older then Layne by 3 years putting her at 21. She had beautiful legs, and her body was toned like a runner, short hair, soft green eyes, and pale skin. She put food on her plate making sure not to nock anything over. I flipped on the TV the news; it had been at least three months since I last watched it. She was sitting at the table, with a glass of water. I got up and made myself a plate, and poured some wine. I put everything away and in the fridge with the date. I did the dishes and switched the TV to something more exciting, Chucky. I closed up the wall, then went to her room and checked everything making sure she wouldn't be able to get out. I went back out to the living room and we watched the movie.
Aria "you know I'm not bad, don't you"
"How can you tell?"
Aria "you're not like the others, they all are mean and abusive you calm and collected, you the one they send out when they want it done fast and no sign"
"How can you tell?"
Aria "mind reader"
"Ah, well I'm still going to treat you like an evil till I know"
Aria "fine"
The movie ended we watched two more and talked, I was growing an attraction to her. She kept moving closer to me. I turned off the TV, well come on time for bed, I have work to do."
Arias "are you serious"
"If you can read minds let me know"
Aria "I can't read yours"
"Well then nighty nighty, I have work to do"
I locked her in and turned on the cameras to her room, I shut up the living room by having the walls come out and make it just the hallway, and the bathroom and rooms, I looked through the recently added and found him Dan hired three days ago, Died today as a trader, so on his first day he got her. Now he's dead and he was the only person to know about her, so it was personal. I viewed more tapes she said other but he and I were the only ones here in less she talking about the night they took her. Tomorrow is Halloween and Samhain, looks to be a night in till I find more out, plus some company would be nice I'm tired of always being alone or with Niko of the mob. Did a little more work then took a shower the rooms shower, turned on my mp3, and laid down. I fell asleep fast, when I woke up it was 5 AM, Aria was fast asleep, and I undid the main part of the house lockdown but kept the back. I closed the small hallway in. I went to the store for some things I needed for Samhain. I got the things I needed from a Wiccan shop, and then went back to the place made breakfast let her out after setting the alarm.
"I know tonight is Halloween and if you have kids and family I'm sorry, but if you pagan or Wiccan you can join me in a small circle."
Aria "I'd love that, and no family here, and no kids at all"
I cleaned up and she helped me set up we spent the day talking and I could feel my heart beating fast in my chest. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom while my body changed into a hundred different things. Once she settled down she went back out and they watched horror movies, then Aria started to read a book. Layne went to the back bedroom to do a little more research she found nothing the girl was clean her records not a scratch she's a med student that is traveling for vacation her family lives in Australia. Layne breathed she turned off all the systems in the room and went out to the living room. They were in the middle of watching Children of the corn when Aria's belly growled they ate the left over from the night. After we ate, we did the ritual during it I felt her, all of her body her voice it was calling to me. After that we watched more movies and ate junk food we talked and she told me everything I already knew. As the night grew on she leaned on me, soon her lips where on my neck and I felt the heat from her breath I turned my head and kissed her she climbed on top of me and kissed me hard, I tore off her shirt, feeling her energy from the circle she took my shirt off and we didn't miss a beat as we kissed I picked her up and brought her into her room and laid her down I kissed along her body and went to each breast nibbling it and sucking on them she had large B's, a small belly and the most beautiful tattoos on her stomach of twin dragons. Her belly had a ring in it. I sucked on it and made my way to her hips when she pulled me up to her and we kissed out mouths were in sink it was like she was melting into me I felt her arousal. Soon I got her sweat pants off and underwear she was shaved with a little stubble, I slowly moved my lips along her inner thighs and kissed her clit while I had three fingers in her moving rapidly I started sucking on her clit as she moaned and her nails found my flesh. I could tell I was bleeding but at that point I didn't care. I started to get more into what I was doing, she would close her legs over my head and moan deeply soon she grabbed my hair and cut of my circulation and the most amazing wave of juices flowed from her. I licked her up her legs twitched as I did. I moved up to her and she kissed me worn out from it all. We lay in each other's arms softly kissing through the night. The next morning I shut off everything and made it like a normal house. She came out and noticed we ate breakfast and spent the rest of her vacation together.
