[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Vicious drew himself up off her body in annoyance. The phone was ringing and he was sure it was someone that he didn't want to talk to. Rei watched him for a moment then idly ran her fingers down her body.

"You've got ten seconds to explain this call," he hissed then listened to the voice on the other end. "All right. Come to my Jupiter address and we'll get the details worked out. I hope you're smarter than your predecessor."

Vicious forcefully hung up the receiver then walked back to where Rei lay. He laid his hands on her knees and kissed her skin. Rei closed her eyes as Vicious moved down and inward on her body.

"I love you," she whispered and Vicious gazed up at her. He drew away from her and she opened her eyes. She gazed up at him for a moment, carefully gauging Vicious' emotions. She wanted to know what he was feeling and she got her reward.

"Get up," he said and she did as she was told. He gazed at her chest for a moment then glanced at his waist.

"Don't bite. I believe your teeth are longer than a human's."

"I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking."

"I've observed numerous people and I've come to realize that logic does not play into the act."

He gazed down at her and realized that she wasn't listening. He could understand why, though as he tried to keep his emotions from showing. He heard a high-pitched whine and glanced at her once more. That sound was a female Taliban's way of purring, he had come to realize as he remembered the first time she had done it. He had become unnerved by the noise simply because he had never heard it before. He remembered the look of amusement on her face when she explained the nature of the sound.

"It's the way we show elation," she had told him when he had drawn back in shock. "We don't moan like humans. I'm sorry."

"I'm just going to have to get used to it."

He remembered his response quite accurately as he winced in pain.

"No teeth," he reminded and she drew away, wiping he mouth.

"I'm sorry. When the desire gets to me, I don't think of anything else," she said as Vicious rubbed his sore muscle.

"Perhaps you should take your place on the bed."

"As your subordinate."

"Don't take that attitude with me."

"I didn't mean it the way you took it."

Vicious watched her walk back to the bed then glanced up at a flashing red light.

"Damn!" he swore. "Someone's at the door. You're going to have to wait," he said and pressed a switch on the bed. "That Taliban had better not be doing this to piss me off. I suppose you want in."

"It'd be nice, considering you hired me," he replied and Vicious' gaze narrowed.

"You're doing a good job of pissing me off," he hissed as he watched Rei reach for her clothes. "Don't. This shouldn't take long. I'd like to finish what was started and I think you'd like me to finish as well."

She watched him get dressed then laid back on the bed and sighed. She rubbed her breasts for a moment and closed her eyes. She hoped that the visit wouldn't take too long.
