She knew her powers would aid those of the creative and their moments of creative obsession was when she would feed remain young and bond them even more to her. The one thing she did not know was that the bond had two different affects... either the feeding would slowly kill the one she chose to help and bond to her or in some the bond would make then aggressively possessive and protective of her. Once she figured it out she knew she had to find a balance or find the one that was strong enough to overcome both affects and give her one true love.
Having arrived at the massive building she thought to herself Good grief even I could get lost in this mess. Shaking her head she walked on in. Arriving at a security desk she was quickly scanned with the expected Metal detector wand and smirked a little.
Yes Miss Sloan we are well aware that you are of the field and will probably be just the person to help us get this stuff upgraded... They save the good stuff till you are in the elevator the whole dam thing scans you. Noting employees from visitors and just wanderers by their bio signature Heart rate eye movement and brain wave patterns.
Impressive... If not just a little creepy that you know who I am before I tell you.
Lorelei raised a brow to the man as he seemed to quickly look around then bow his head a little.
Forgive me for not asking your name Miss but we were expecting you Markus told us you would be arriving today. Everything you need is in here Miss Sloan and Welcome to the NightShadow Family.
Holding out a large manila envelope to her he quickly goes back to work.
Lorelei took the folder and opening it up she took a look at the first page... standard letter of welcome from a Synthia James. Her name tag and a security badge. Office assignment and key welcome packet with maps of the building any and everything she needed and more.
It looked like the Main Security part of the Firm was on the top floor with their own private elevator to get them to all of the other floors in a hurry if there was ever a problem that building security could not handle. Good to know she thought as she headed to her office.
once she opened the door she saw a man standing there near an already stocked wet bar. The man turned around and smiled to her.
Greetings Miss Sloan... I am Markus and for now your office male. A drink... I do believe your file said you prefer bourbon.
He held out a glass to her awaiting her to take it. The expression on her face though did bring a smile to his face but before he could say anything she spoke up after the initial confusion passed.
My... Office male? What?
Ahh Markus smiled. Essence has not spoken to you yet. Well then let me explain. I am here at your service... drinks paperwork... stress relief... I will be your office male until you choose one from those I feel would be a proper fit to your hungers needs and requirements. Even after you have chosen your own office male I will stay with you until you are comfortable in your new employment and with your...
Lorelei cut him off right there... Okay back up... I get to pick an office male... who will do whatever I want him to in ANY capacity even non work related... Ummm okay... Interesting I don't recall seeing this listed in the packet of company perks... My own condo... house... apartment of my choosing was an interesting perk but an office male...
Yes my Dear... your mind is thinking along the right lines... an office male can do anything from simply filing paper work for you to whatever twisted sexual desire you have... your office male is yours... to do with as you please All I ask is not killing... bad for recruitment of new office males.
Synthia's voice slithered into the room as she walked in with Markus quickly bowing and preparing her a drink as well.
So... Lorelei was wrapping her mind around this as she spoke. For now I get tall dark and heavenly and he will find suitable males for me to choose from as a what... pet of my own... What if I decide I want Markus?
She looked between them as Markus finally spoke up.
I assure you Miss Sloan that I can find you a far more compatible male than myself.
Synthia smiled...
Yes Markus is very good at that and if something happens to your office male... He will simply help you find another be it permanently or just until your office male is back to 100%.
Lorelei smiled... what if I can't choose just one how many total can any of us have?
Synthia smiled with a faint laugh... You are going to get along here just fine and that is a subject for another time for now if this office is not to your liking Markus can send for the design and decor team to fix it however you want it. There is a file on your computer marked My new home.. feel free to pick out any house condo apartment townhouse whatever you want as your new home and email the file to Melissa in 325 via the office mail tab instead of an email address you just use the persons name and office number and the computer does the rest.
With that Synthia left the office leaving Lorelei standing there with the bourbon in her hand deep in thought as Markus walked over and smiled looking into her eyes.
What can I do to help you now Miss Sloan?
Lorelei... She finally spoke... you can help me by dropping that Miss Sloan rubbish
Very well Lorelei... what can I do to help you?
Lorelei was still standing there taking it all in. Her mind on processing overload as Maxwell reached a hand to caress her neck and cheek. He was an office male but he was also trained in what to do to aid all of the current "Supernatural" specialists and with all of the information Lorelei has been given to process a simple soothing touch was the best way to aid her.
Lorelei absently nuzzled against his caress as she stood there deep in thought though not as overwhelmed mentally as she could be. A house given to her by her new job... an amazing office that they will rip apart to redo it to her liking... an Office male... Her own house and... an office male...
Maxwell this... "Office male" does he remain here or...
He is yours to command if you wish you may have him remain here or travel with you to your new home...
He smiled. As for your question of more than one office male you may be able to do something like that if you wish to have one at home and one here or something like that. The Benefactors understand your particular kinds... quirks. That is another thing all Specialists here are as you already know are female and they are all... "Supernatural" I believe is the mortal term for it. Most of the males here are standard human... though if you would prefer a office male of a supernatural persuasion that can be arranged as well Lorelei. Now shall I assist you with looking through the available properties for you to choose your new home?
Lorelei nodded and walked to her new desk still deep in thought as she clicked on the folder and began flipping through the various images and information marking a few possibilities. Absently something in her mind knew that Markus had knelt down beside her as her hand moved to him and absently slithering her fingers through his hair and fingernails trailing up the back of his neck. The only thing that drew her from her thoughts was the soft noises he had begun to make at the affections. Glancing briefly to him she smiled and continued what she was doing both to him and on the computer. Her only thought now beyond the properties being
I could get VERY used to this...
A purr escaped her lips at the thought. So many choices she pondered a few different locations. A couple of stunning yet... comfortably primal cabins that would make her commute to and from work a bit longer than she would like or there was the condo development that was backed up against the outer edge of the same woods that the cabins were hidden in but was possibly half hour closer commute.
Finally choosing the cabin that was the deepest into the woods she looked over to Maxwell.
I want to see this one... I think I like it the best.
Maxwell nodded and making a quick phone call and passing along the information directly and requesting the key and for a car to be prepared for them to go and let Lorelei view the property personally before turning to her.
Will there be anything el...
Maxwell's words were cut short as she had stepped right up next to him and nipped at him intently and pulled him close and tight into a primal rough kiss that brought a growl from her and his arms arms snaking around her waist urging her further into accepting her new life and world and him. Pressing back into her kiss Maxwell simply gently began to "dance" their way towards the door doubting she would prevent him from doing so but always ready to change his actions with this beautiful feline warrior goddess. Lorelei felt them moving but did not care she was far too lost in being close to someone who knew what she was and did not fear becoming prey. Finally breaking the kiss she purred grabbing Maxwell's tie like a leash and reached for the door.
Lets go somewhere more... relaxed Maxwell and you can help me understand more about all of this new world I find myself in with you... for now.
After a few weeks as her loyal office male Markus had a very good idea of who he would pull from the various office pools to be her choices for office male. He had not expected to not like this part of the job but he could not be a claimed office male and do his job for other specialists. He always to the best of his ability found the best matches for each specialists but strangely Lorelei was a special case for him and he knew just who would be perfect. A few select males awaiting their rightful place by a specialists side he knew might be her choice like Dante or Zachary or Charles or a couple of others but he was fairly certain that there was one who would be the most perfect. After assembling them and telling them all about the Specialist that they would be presented to for choosing he them spoke with each one individually before they were presented to Lorelei.
Pulling Omen off to the side while while Lorelei spent a few days with each of the others he nodded to the young man.
I chose for you to go last because I... I feel you should read this. It is rare the file on a specialist gets to the hands of potential office males so tell no one.
He had only left a few minor details in the file nothing to give Omen any great advantage over the others just to let the young man know what he had been hand selected for he to choose from. The young man nodded and quickly opened the folder and immediately sat down staring for what felt like an eternity in the blink of an eye at the picture.
She...
Read the file Omen
Markus unconsciously snapped a little at the young man being Lorelei's office male if she chose Omen and he knew she would he would be harder on the boy to make sure he did nothing to anger hurt or risk Lorelei. With that he walked away leaving the young man to understand what little he could reveal to him about her.
Markus led in the first of his hand selected office males for Lorelei... Dante. Upon seeing the Her he dropped to kneel before her perfectly trained mustache dark eyes. immediately into doing what he could to help her as his hands moved to smooth her skirt. She smiled down at him... handsome... clearly built well enough to possibly handle her more aggressive side but far too... formal... too groomed... too proper. She smiled down into those eyes... she would be fair... she would give him the time a few days of testing to see if he could withstand her.
She reached a hand to his cheek resting a finger under his chin... Those eyes... so very deep and sensual. His name so strong yet... simple. A smile curled her lips as she finally spoke...
dante...
Her words brought to those deep beautiful eyes and face a smile that seemed to beam right through her and everything in the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lorelei had finally gotten used to the fact that all office pets were in suits when first introduced and this was no different but her mood that day made it a bit rough as she was not making any headway with the current case.
Make yourself comfortable we will discuss why Markus thinks you would be a suitable office male once I am done with this case for the day.
She watched him out of the corner of her eye move over and recline on the floor resting on his elbows looking around. She sank back into her work her eyes did from time to time track his movements as he moved around the room a little always dropping back down to the floor to relax laid back on his arms once more.
His actions intentional giving her different views of him as he laid there but also gave him an idea of any pattern of walking around her office that she did dealing with a case and soon he was laying in those areas and as she stepped over him doing what she could to ignore any distraction to her work. With ever time she stepped over him she felt a faint kiss to her ankle or the brush of his hand against her leg helping her. Everything so innocent and easily ignored but slowly it calmed her... it relaxed her. He knew just what he was doing she realized that once she was nearly done. She made her way once more to the coffee pot there in her office and as her ankle was met with a soft kiss she quickly turned dropping quickly with feral eyes burning into his with that predatory smile.
Who gave you permission to do all you have done today?
He simply smiled looking into those eyes feeling a little tinge of fear in his gut but still awe and fascination at just what this woman before him what and that it was his desire to become hers.
Office males are to aid in whatever way we can... I did what I could within the confines of following your orders no more no less and I hope it was pleasing.
His words infuriated her yet amused her... this one had some will of his own carefully woven in the submissive hunger to serve. Very good Markus she thought, you may well have finally found an office male for her that sparked her true interest.
I know they expect suits around here but once in my office I expect that you lose the jacket a more relaxed wardrobe for you will be the orders of this office. Now fix me a cup of coffee. Black with just a little stevia and then your task will be to print up the rest of the papers I will need for my report.
Nodding he smiled and quickly got to work on his tasks knowing that he has won over his perfect dream from the moment he saw her picture and bio.
She liked this one as she sat watching him... he was different than the others... perhaps thats why Maxwell sent him to her after a fairly acceptable but far too formal handful of potentials. As he neared her desk with the drink she simply watched him her eyes almost feral and cold as she stared into his eyes. His reaction was entertaining to say the very least as she could smell fear and arousal suddenly tinging the air around him as he smiled to her before moving quickly to begin working on the paperwork.
What is your name male? I do believe that would be better than simply calling you male or something so cushy as pet or little one...
He looked over to her and smiled.
Yes Ma'am My name is Omen
Omen...
Yes Ma'am I know its strange but my family was a little strange.
Actually... I like it.
She smiled and slipped over to her new office male and purred next to his ear watching the shiver that passed through him as the papers nearly fell from his hand before he regained himself and put the papers back on the table and turned to face her smiling knowing he had sealed his place with her and held no fear of her testing any other office male after him.
She was glad that she had opted for the cabin. The Deodar cedars and Maples, the Redwoods and the Oaks all surrounding her new home. No one for miles to see her shift and simply run. Luckily the Firm owned most of the mountain so she was safe when she ran. A stream and a lake near the cabin simply added to all the pluses. The interior held the luxury that was "expected" and the rustic "wild" comfort for her comfort and kind.
She sat on the soft overstuffed leather couch staring out the large half wall window with a smile. The laptop cast aside on the coffee table having been replaced with her most beloved as he massaged her feet and calves. Careful attention to every muscle with the occasional faint kiss he watched her eyes. Her body may be relaxing at his attention but her mind was locked... the woman who had approached them when they were "fixing" the security system in the building about the company her sister worked for was plaguing Lorelei's mind. It disturbed him too what little he knew of the case but what troubled him more was what appeared to be a growing obsession with Lorelei about this company.
You worry too much precious one...
Her words broke the silence with all the force of of a crop striking his flesh bringing his attention to her face.
Lorelei looked to him smiling she had seen the wrinkling of his brow and lips was the tell that he was worrying about her again. She reached a hand to his face guiding him to truly look deep into her eyes. Holding his gaze intently for a long moment before speaking.
I devote so much to this case as I have lost a younger sister to the darkness of powerful and power hungry humans pet and I will not see that happen to another supernatural or human if I can stop it.
In that moment another little chip of that determined hardened cold to the world wall fell away. They were close but there were some things she just kept blocked off from everyone... till now. They both understood what this moment meant as she pulled him further up her form for a kiss and to hold him close as she had for a brief moment to think on what happened to her young sister. The kiss would help her think on it without sinking into the rage and darkness that normally consumed her when those thoughts came to her mind.
The game is simple pet... you run... I hunt.
Staring down into his eyes her own holding a feral glow as she saw the edge of fear and excitement in his eyes as she tightened the grip in his hair.
Now I am going to go get dressed... I would advise you... run... though you can request time to get dressed a bit more if you like... this time.
She saw words try to overtake his lips and leaned down to kiss Her pet deep and primal then simply stood from the leather couch and walked away leaving the poor dear there speechless and panting.
Life seemed to fall into a pleasant routine during their time at home. She conducted little business at home unless there was no other option and their weekends were lounging in bed for most of the day. Taking time for him to learn more about her and her kind they run through the woods around their home. Transforming it into a game from time to time where she will "hunt" him, always ending in Her prey trapped beneath Her at her will. There was never any worry about hurting him. Omen seemed more than capable of taking the feline animalistic rage in stride and her more intense passions only seemed to make him that much more determined and willing to endure more and more. It was as though the more feral and true to her most intimate and purest of nature the more deeply and passionately bonded and attuned to her became.
Markus had done far better than she had expected on finding someone far more suitable for her than he himself had been. She did not think that he had any idea that he literally seemed to have found the other half of her being and presented it to her in this stunning loyal passionate and willing pet. Sometimes the ease at which Omen had made himself hers so fully almost scared her and that she hated and it was that which he paid for from time to time with the more savage side of her. Even then he still seemed to adore her and want if not need more of that savagery knowing its healing nature for her and perhaps even for him.
Idea from a VI picture post by Veroe. Thanks for the inspiration darlin
Omen looked to Markus with a nod. Lorelei was trying once more to escape the formal celebration to get back to work they all knew that there was something wrong with the latest Company they were investigating. Lorelei was just the closest within the company with her personal creation security system. Unknown to the company the updated security system not only reported to them but it also reported everything to Lorelei and she was determined to prove everything they had to for the police to step in or take care of it themselves.
Markus nodded to him and pointed to the other stairs. Take Lorelei her wine and ... Markus smirked... redirect her to the party... Business can wait for now... We will expose the vermin in sheeps clothing but for now getting her over that "Lone wolf" mentality and single minded focus on work.
He nodded and quickly moved to the other stairs and intercepted her on the second set of stairs. Your Wine Lorelei... He smiled holding out the tray to her.
Lorelei sighed shaking her head. Markus or Synthia... Wait it would have to be Markus... Synthia can not command the office male of another specialist. She smiled taking the wine from him sinking for a wonderfully distracted moment into those eyes that always hold so much care and love in them. Or perhaps I give Markus too much credit and you have done this on your own simply seeking his permission to leave the party.
The twinkle in his eye told her all she needed to know as she reached a hand to his cheek taking her wine with the other hand. She was so very pleased with her choice of office males... Markus had done well and her selection had been difficult but the longer they were around each other and the more he helped her and she helped him the closer she felt to him... closer still to him that her own pride growing up. It was as if that little missing part of her heart and soul were simply waiting for Markus to present it to her.
Her glass of wine suddenly forgotten and absently placed on the railing and the tray taken from his hand tossed to the landing behind her as she stepped closer to him pressing a kiss to his lips tender but rough as she smiled and led the way back to the celebration
Leave my side at your own risk My dear... She purred deviously in his ear as they joined the others.
Leave your side Lorelei... Never
Omen whispered in her ear with a smile as he walked with her back to the party.
Synthia was the latest in a long line of managers of the NightShadow Firm. Lawyers... Body guards... Security... Real Estate... whatever talent their hand selected members brought to the table was added to the firms power base. The Benefactor/Owner of the Firm would have new employees sent to the 8 story building that took up the better part of a city block. Synthia would would leave office assignment with security at the front desk and when the new Specialist arrived they would be greeted by Markus.
Markus
Immortal
Markus Works for Syn but answers to no one but the Benefactor
Markus in charge of the "Office males" Acquisition... Training... integration... and Assignment. However when a new "specialist" arrived it was his job to help Her get used to the way NightShadow Firm operated and would stay with the new specialist even after She has chosen Her own office male.
The NightShadow Firm... A conglomerate of many fields of business though most bordering on the legal and less than legal methods to taking out the dark and demented of the mortal race... Yes Mortal race... The NightShadow Firm has two hiring policies for their "specialists"
1 They are all Female
2 They are all Supernatural by Blood Birth or Gift
From the moment they walk into the The NightShadow Building they are immune to whims of the fickle laws of Mortals and their own kinds. They answer solely to the Benefactors through Synthia.
Enter the latest Specialist
Lorelei Sloan
Feline shifter
Specialty Security operation proficient in several weapons and weapon styles as well as some hand to hand combat training.
She received a letter delivered by armed courier offering her a surprising job with The ShadowWatch Firm one she could not pass up. She had been living off pay of an armed guard for a local high profile judge but with his retirement her employment was coming to an end and this was just the break she needed.
Lorelei's office male Omen
Processing ideas for Lorelei's "office male"
1. Dark medium/long length hair slight scruff "sexy rugged"
2. Deep brown soulfully intoxicating eyes...
3. Strong build... not over muscled not to wiry either.
4. A bit of an accent that gets a wee bit thick at just the right times.
5. Capable of handling that primal feline side/ likes a little pain.
Essence ~ Information... Orientation... Records. Office male named Franco
Essence was immortal and damnably intelligent with a memory beyond anyone Synthia or the Benefactor have ever seen.
Melessa ~ Real Estate ~ Office male named Thomas
Melissa was an earth Elemental/Earth Witch she had gone by many names in her 100 years
He stood in the kitchen watching her. There was clearly something on her mind when it came to him and he almost seemed to know what it was.
I am not supposed to say anything about this but I follow your orders now more than Markus orders. He gave me your file to read... out of the hand picked office males he always chooses two or three of them to show the Specialists file to. For you he showed me your file.
He walked over closer to Lorelei heart pounding deep in his chest hoping his words didn't sound to her like some sort of set up because if it did he was the only one there for her to snap and wipe out for any deception. He watched her eyes as yep they seemed to flash a little but he felt he needed to be completely honest with her no matter if that meant death she deserved that much.
I don't know if he showed any of the others your file or not but from the moment I saw your pic before I read word one I knew I needed to be the one you chose. I can't explain it... I am not that instinct driven survivalist maybe but to simply feel that strongly after just looking at a picture that is not me. I always knew there were things out there beings beyond normal humans and when I found out about all of this and Markus brought me into fold as it were and I saw some of the beings that worked here I was surprised... Melissa can do some incredible stuff and there is no way any normal human could ever come close to Essence raw intelligence but you... you scare the hell out of me but... you don't. I... I can't explain it. I just knew I had to be the one that was here... with you... I...
Lorelei walked over and touching a finger to his lips she just nodded. I know... I can smell the moments of fear on you... and just as quickly the calm and desire. Everyone Markus brought to me was always too stuffy or sought constantly the darker side of me you... arrogant... charming... walking all over the rules without breaking one single order... My decision was made by my second cup of coffee and third trip to the fax machine that day.
But you let me keep begging in my own way for 4 more hours... now who is not playing fair...
he laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist.
Its the weekend and you promised no work this weekend so what do you want to do?
She just laughed staring deep into her pet's eyes with a smile. Their relationship was anything but normal on any level but for them it... it was perfect.
See Lorelei I told you the office party would be a good time... remember the office males are always the ones that have to plan them and get everything together... With Markus and Benifactor's aid of course but still... I sometimes know what I am talking about.
He smirked smugly there in the tub relaxing till Lorelei grabbed his hair and tilted his head back closing his eyes he left that smug smile on his lips listening to her speak.
That may well be but I am NOT a social being pet you know that...wandering away from the party does not always mean I am sneaking off to work.
Really... Markus and I both know you better than that... when you get that far out of your comfort zone you escape into work especially if you are not in a place to hunt anything.
She pushed his head forward with a hiss. He was right and she knew it which made it all the more infuriating. Did Oman and Markus really know her that well. Markus had been reluctant to exit being her office male and they both almost seemed to wish to show the other one up when both were hers until she had grown tired of it and had submit them both into acceptance after offering for Markus to go back to his true duty only to have him refuse unsure if young Omen was ready to go it alone with her.
Yes... you and Markus both seem to agree on many things about me don't you pet... why is that?
Crap... cornered... perhaps those last two drinks had in fact been a little much for him as he thought on how to get out of this situation without revealing what he knew as it was not his place to tell her.
So would you wish a late night hunt Lorelei or simply call it a night tonight... I think a good run in the cold might clear my addled brain and halt any hangover from causing me to disappoint or fail you in any way tomorrow.
She snarled sick of their snipes at each other. Markus was the one that told her that he was only temporary so why was he getting so snippy with the office male she chose? Much less why was Omen getting so defensive and snippy as well. She was far and beyond over this petty behavior from both of them. She held out the handcuffs to them both quickly reaching for them clearly understanding that her mood had quickly shifted for the worse. One hand then sealing around Markus neck and the other sealing around Omen's neck she pinned them both to the wall staring deep into their eyes as she growled low and lethal
You will BOTH handcuff yourselves to each other... NOW! I grow weary of your snipes at each other so listen and listen good males... you will BOTH cease your attacks on each other or else. Markus you told me yourself you were only mine till a more suitable office male was found... and even I chose Omen you remained as you stated till we were settled... why do you now snipe at MY choice?
Neither dared speak as they stared into her eyes. The fear and excitement billowing from Omen tickled her nostrils but she resisted the purr as her eyes moved to Markus eyes as he seemed to hold fear but more the look of being ashamed of his actions and there was something else there but what... he was hiding something from her but perhaps that was because he knew she was right and he was unwilling to admit anything further to her for now.
Now Markus if you are ready to remove yourself from My side speak now or if you have a planned time of doing so speak now and tell me.
Markus nodded and after attempting to take a breah and clamping the cuffs around his and Omen's wrist with Omens help he looked to her.
I will be returning to my position with the start of the new week Lorelei... 48 hours.
She nodded her face emotionless as she was not sure she wanted to lose him she enjoyed having both of them even if they did snipe and try to one up each other for her affections.
Very well however I will still teach you both to work together... it is time for you both to run... I hunger for a good hunt... you will be my combined prey... do not make this easy for me males or you will regret it... you must work together to achieve your goal of evading me... I would suggest you run... NOW!
She released them and turned to get something to drink and give them time to flee the cabin. Markus knew this game well from his time alone as her office male and dragged Omen along silently until they were out of the house and finally he looked to Omen and spoke...
This is a game to her... the hunt... it may well be something she will wish to do often when a case wields her temper like a well trained blade. You will get used to it I will show you ways to avoid her finding you too early lets go. I have been tough on you I admit that but I have my reason that you and I can discuss another time for now we move in silence and use the nature around us to evade her for as long as we can.
Markus always took great pride in the fact that he was always the first office male for all of the specialists. It was just to study them personally so he could pick the best suitable and compatible males for them to choose from but it was much more than that. He was the one aiding them helping them grow accustomed to and into their own Goddess like power over the males there to aid and serve them.
Lorelei was no different yet very different indeed. He craved their weekends away from the office .... their hunting games... the fire and passion even in her temper and rage. The depth of her soul and heart when she allows someone to see them. He did not want to find an office male for her even though he knew of one he was sure she would choose leaving him back at his post of occasional office male for Synthia and new specialists.
The wild old wood forest all around them. The blacktop road leading to gravel then to an old dirt road guided the way to the cabin. She chose it for the also wild rustic look to it but within the amenities were there though tastefully masked to match the rugged yet cozy feel of the place. A massive fireplace that was more then enough to heat the main parts of the house was matched by an only slightly smaller fireplace in the bedroom. Lorelei loved it here safe from hunters and the like as it was nationally listed as a wildlife reserve. The whole of the mountain was a wildlife reserve but she was free to hunt there when the genetic need to hunt and devour prey struck her as they knew it would from time to time. Markus had shown her his home when he was not tending to the needs of specialists and Synthia who lived next door to him in the condos that bordered one beautiful piece of the reserve.
The assignment had been stressful to say the least Omen was not even directly involved but even he was overwhelmed by it all. Partly because it kept much of her attention and those depths of her mind that normally plotted things against him tied up on other people... vermin not worth her deepest thoughts mongrels who should have been dealt with long ago by their own kind... by other corrupt mortal scum. Finally though it was all over as he had prepared a hot bath for her deep in the inner sanctum of their home. Guiding her into the lavish bathroom he uncovered her eyes and stood back smiling as she took it all in and eventually smiled herself.
After her very relaxing bath Lorelei could smell food and realized she actually was hungry but far too relaxed and in all honesty too tired to hunt. She walked down stairs in the fluffy black robe and smiled smelling the fireplace going and the candles as well as food. Omen had gone all out for this night and yet had been with her quite a bit that day so how did he do this it was clearly not catered as her kitchen held the scent of cooking and she purred softly making her way to the warm comfort of the ever cozy den seeing him sitting there laying back on his elbows as he did that first day in her office "blocking" her path to the meal spread out by the fireplace.
She walked upstairs long after sending him up to rest since she needed the extra room to truly spread out the file trying to piece something together... at least one thing before she turned in for the night. Once she made her way upstairs she saw him stretched out on the hides covered circular chaise in the loft. He had been up there watching over her till sleep overtook him... he was always so caring of her and watchful. Moving to the Chaise she moved to curl up with him and pull her pet in close and snuggle there with him in that more primal of sensation. A purr slipping from her lips as her eyes fell closed into sleep as that sound slithered into his sleep filled mind and brought a smile to his lips sinking him deeper into his dreams with her there holding him.
Sleeping there among the soft furs all night she smiled cradling him close to her a quiet purr slithering from her as she lingered in dreams. He curled close his arm moving to instinctually circle her waist as he slept peacefully and content.
Sitting in the hidden cavern behind the waterfall. The candle light shimmering through as I answer.
In here Veroe
A candle lit bath in the deep pool against the back wall and a low table near hear a pillow laden bed/couch covered with various finger foods fruits and cheeses
