The NightShadow Firm

Synthia James
Vampire

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 NightShadow 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.

Night Shadow Firm... Lorelei's arrival

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. 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.

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.

Asa, how does this nightshadow firm work? What do they do? You've hinted but haven't come out and said it. Are they like the evil lawfirm of Wolfram and Hart from the tv show Angel?
 
Nope not evil at all in fact Wolfram and Hart are the kind of people they would go after... leagally or not so legally. They also as it states goes after the evil of humans as well.
 
So they're vigilantes....Why? What is in it for them? How do they profit from taking down these people? I get the sense that this organization is like charlie's angels, but why the prejudice against males then and then employ a man, as what similar to Bosley from Charlie's angels?

I just think you should simplify the idea some. Say make it an investigative agency with ties and resources to the realms of business both legal and not so legal you ascribed.

Also Markus and the other men, why aren't they part of the team? What do they do for the firm? What're their roles? Are they just the women's glorified sex slaves and secretaries? Why the disparity among genders?
 
I am still fleshing out the company Veroe... the males role is simple if the business specialist is sated there is no chance of harming an innocent and... .nothing like. Charlie's angels hun there is realestate and many different divisions to the company that's already stated in there. Whatever the expertise the specialist brings in darlin is added to the company infrastructure

Ah yes you did state that above.

Nods.

So the mens' role in the office would be like morale and therapy specialists for the women? Now that's interesting to me.

I'm beginning to wonder if the men shouldn't be human, rather than immortals. Say, make them human but just taught how to recognize and relieve the stress signs of these immortal beings.
 
Thought I had said that Markus was the only supernatural male... oh well will fix that as he works for the benefactor first and foremost. Still have to flesh out benefactor thoughh already have a twist in mind for that though that Lorelei might figure out.

He 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.

NightShadow Firm Lorelei at home

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 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.

Idea 1

Alessia Da Veaga


International Corporate Royalty... The daughter of a business mogul and her American husband. Born and raised traveling all through Europe she was feeling smothered... trapped in a fairytale that she knew was not really the reality of the world anymore. She managed to prove herself to her mother and found herself in Malibu. Living on the beach a tad reclusive trying to keep her mothers associates in the States from fussing over her too much. She attended special shows and meetings for her mothers company.

She had decided to slip away from it all and tour the city only to find herself at a quaint little BBQ place. Walking in she had never experienced anything like this before... the food was wonderful and she found it entertaining that people could sit at the counter and watch the man cook. Everything was wonderful until two men walked in to rob the place. She quickly learned that the owner who had been talking to her and helping her with the various types of BBQ sauce and everything was actually a Cop... a detective to be more precise. Two different worlds colliding as neither one wants to give up that instant attraction.

The closest to dressed up he gets is a suit for a non police funeral or wedding. In her world its tuxedos champagne and caviar... his worst nightmare firmly attached to the most amazing woman he has ever met... whats a cop to do?

((Idea in the works))


Idea 2

He is a cop who finds himself now face to face with a terrified woman who seems to be manipulating the elements around her preventing anyone from getting close to her or her attackers who are on the ground ((On fire... bound in electrical lines... something)). No one from the neighborhood is willing to say they saw anything other than the attackers assaulting one of theirs... NO one saw anything she did they never do. Unfortunately someone did see and now she is being hunted for her strange ability with only one cop who believes her and is willing to risk it to protect her against cop crook or civilian.

((Idea in the works))

Sitting back relaxing by the waterfall eyes closed taking all the soft sounds and relaxing piecing out ideas for some threads.
 
~Oh the devious thoughts and thread ideas that can brew from simple conversations~

Dr. Annika Jacobs reclined propped up against a couple of pillows on the lavish king sized bed. Feeling the warmth of the body resting against her brought a soft smile to her lips. A messy divorce driving her half way across the country just to get away from the petty garbage her ex was so deft at creating. Taking on a job and residence in a town that skirted the base of a mountain. It was beautiful land and the cabin she was able to get was nothing less than a dream. Isolated... Stunning views from any of the massive windows.

Sinking deep into her thought she reminisced over Her old friend getting her the job at this prestigious school... The first year dragging by with little to distract her beyond teaching class attending functions that her old friend would drag her to so that everyone could get to know her. Now her second year however has brought with it risk... danger... and desire with a pair of soulful eyes strong arms chiseled body and a desire to love and please...

There was risk there and yet she didn't care... there were somethings... some people worth the risk.

FmSxZkQa4j0x08neVVV5MRQJo1_500.jpg


~If.this becomes a thread would want to play out the reminiscing as if it were just happening all the.way up to the point of the first time she allows them to do anything in her home.~

Wandering the path to the waterfall. Pausing to stare at the large flat rock at the edge of the waters cascading mist smiling softly at memories before moving to sit on that very rock to relax and see what posts or friends the night may hold.
 
00brunCoupleKissBlueWaterfall.jpg


The spray of falling water... scented with the wild and exotic flora lavishly scattered about the waterfall secluded deep in forgotten jungle. Forgotten to all but the lovers who escape to this sensual paradise. A little haven away from it all. Stolen moments in time that renew their souls and warm their hearts knowing they have someone so wonderful so caring in their lives even if it is fleeting moments... tender kisses... and purest of passion in a perfect blend of two souls.

Worlds fall away in strong arms embrace. Sorrow... fear... pain and doubt dissolve to nothing with the softest kiss. Stresses of life melt into oblivion the the shadow of a sensual loving smile. Sinking into a lovers eyes as warm breezes softly billow over bodies entwined. Perfection in secluded paradise.

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.
