Passage Favor

I was sitting on bed and Edward was sitting in the only chair in the room. Next to the door. He had pulled his hat off and it was sitting on his knee. His hands were clasped casually across his stomach with his fingers intertwined. His legs were staright out in front of him and crossed at the ankles. He looked like the poster boy for relaxing but I knew different. He wasn't at total ease. He never is. His winter blue eyes were turned at full attention to me. After I finally evaded all the questions about what he walked into earlier he started filling me in on why he was here.
"I got this hit on an Ulfric. I killed the Ulfric but the person who hired me hired someone to kill me. Actually alot of someones. So far they have all died. This time he sent four humans, Six weres and 8 vampires after me. I am good but I am not that good. I need help. I have led them here in a round about way. From my understanding they are going to have to get your boyfriends permissions to enter into their territories. I need back up and a warning. I get both with you."
"So let me get this straight," I said. "I tell Jean-Claude to allow the vampires in and Richard to allow the wolves in. The weres are all wolves right?"
"I don't know."
"So I get the weres in and get the vampires in and then we kill them? That still doesn't solve your problem. What about the head guy?"
"He is here. After we get them we go for him."
"Okay. How long before they want in?"
"Tonight or early tomarrow morning."
"Done."
"They get acess. I need to make some calls. Jason should be here soon. Excuse me for a minute." I walked to the bathroom to make some calls.

*****************************************************************************************

My calls were all done and all weres were granted safe passage. Now all I had to do was make sure Jean-Claude knew this as well. That wouldn't be a problem. I was once again on my bed but this time I was lying across the foot of it. Edward was still sitting in the chair but he was sitting sideways with his feet hanging off the arm. He had removed the trenchcoat and his shoes. He would make comments every once and a while about Jason taking forever. But I knew how much stuff Jason had in his room. I also knew that Jason played midnight snack for the vamps. More than likely he was recovering and then he'd start moving stuff out.
"So you will help me?"
"I said I would."
"Thanks Anita. I couldn't trust just anyone with this."
"I know." I smiled and laid my hands across my stomache as I turned my head to look at the ceiling. "Besides, I understand you get off on these kinds of things."
"What does that mean?"
"When you kill it is almost like your twisted form of sex."
"I guess in a way you are right. It is like sex for me. Much better though."
"Makes me wonder what you're like in bed." As soon as it left my mouth I knew that was a thought I should have kept to myself. Stupid Anita.
I didn't want to look at Edward. I didn't even want to say anything. I should have really thought that one through. Too late to take it back now. I didn't want Edward to know I had let something get the best of me and I was embarassed. Call it pride or what you want; I turned my head to look at him with my best cop face. Dolf would be proud. That was a mistake though. Edwards face went from curious to shocked right before my eyes and his next question made my face slip up and turn red.
"You're serious?" He said. His face still showing shock.
"Everyone has their curiosity." Too late to take it back. I had to play this one out.
"And yours is what I'm like in....." He trailed off and waggled his hands as if searching for a word. "that." he finished slowly. Apparently I was not the only one embarassed.
"Sure. Why not?" I thought the conversation would end there but I stupidly opened my mouth again. "I mean your no vampire so theres no good stuff like blood and pain but I am sure you would make it worth my while."
I sat up quickly. Edward shot staright up with me and we both stared at eachother for a long time. His hand was flexing and inching closer to his gun as if he thought I was about to jump him. I guess I moved to quickly or what I said really freaked him out. I was betting on the latter. He seemed to have relaxed and decided I wasn't going to jump him. He licked his lips nervously and I couldn't help but watch how his tongue glided expertly along his lower lip leaving a glistening trail behind it. I bit my lower lip in concentration as my mind tried to wonder into bad thoughts. Thats when Jason decided to walk in. Edward was up with his gun trained on Jason before I could blink. Jason just stood in the door with his hands up and open to show he had nothing.
"Whoa! I was just coming to tell you the room is open. Sorry."
"Thanks." Edward lowered the gun and picked up his belongs. He turned and nodded to me and with that he was out the door.

****************************************************************************************

I had finally chased Jason out of my room and was just drifting off to sleep when I heard the door to my room open. I figured Jason had forgotten something so I just laid there and pretended to be asleep. He could press the issue because he could tell by my breathing I was not asleep but I really didn't want to argue with him about sleeping with me anymore. I was sleeping in my bed by myself and that was that. Thats when I felt the weight of someone on the end of my bed. I sighed.
"Jason, get the fuck out of my room. I told you I am waiting for someone special to join me." I was smiling and I am sure he could hear it. Before he left he made a comment about me not wanting him in my room because "someone" else may come. I had jokingly went along with it. "I mean it. It won't be you tonight. Go back to the coffin room like a good wolfie."
"I'm not Jason but I am curious about something myself. Well now two things."
I jumped and turned the light beside the bed on. The firestar was already in my hand but I knew who was at the foot of my bed. I knew who I would see but it didn't prevent me from being shocked to see him. He was sitting on the foot of the bed leaning on one arm towards me.
"Put the gun away Anita. You know you won't use it."
I did as Edward said. I knew he was right and he knew he was right.
"Now the first thing I am curious about is why you taunted me. You know I won't back down from a challenge." He moved his hand to silence me and I shushed. "I know you aren't stupid you knew I would find a way to show you up. Now I have thought about it and thought about it; and I am not going to let you think a vampire is better in bed than me." His eyes went from dead winter skies to a heated look that is all man. Only a man will get that look in his eyes when he is in the heat of passion. Question was; was he in the heat of passion for me or just to prove me wrong. "I thought at first you were joking but I saw the way you looked at me when I licked my lips. Only a woman in lust does that. So I know you are willing. My second question is who are you waiting on?"
"No one." I had meant it in I wasn't waiting on anyone but I think he took it the wrong way.
He was suddenly ontop of me and I heard the firestar plunk to the floor beside the bed. His legs had forced mine apart and he rested himself against me with his lower body. His upper body was still held above me and breathed deep the scent of Edward. It was like gun oil and gun powder mixed with the musky scent of a man who is always active. The smell was intoxicating and I found myself pressing my face to his neck for more.
"Are you willing or am I going to have to force this?" He asked.
I didn't have a choice if it happened or not. I had a choice of it I wanted it too or not. Was I willing. I think some dark part of me was. But was I willing to only be his way of proving something? If I was going to do this willingly then I wanted it to be willing for him and him willing for me. Not him willing for showing me up.
