Dia Rivera with Aine Declain in Washington, District of Columbia.

May 11  

aking black fluid down his face.* Didn't you follow him? *The male nodded.*~Yes sire we did, but he just vanished.~ *Slamming his fist on the oak desk* Dude, people don't just disappear in to thin air. Get your sorry ass out of here find him, NOW. *The male backed away bowing then quickly fled the room. Pulling out his cell he punched in Aine's number. She answered after only one ring.* Ms. Declain to my office, I have a few questions for you.

Connie Di Bratto and Margaret Stagg have been here

Aine Declain *Smiling as I say good bye to the little old lady in front of me, I pick up my cell that had started ringing* Hello Dia. *Raising a brow at his clipped order. Looking at the phone as he abruptly disconnects the call. Sliding my phone into my pocket, I turn to Sam* I have to go to Mr. Rivera's office. I've got my phone if you need me. *Leaving the shop, I take the elevator up to his floor and make my way to his office. Knocking as I open the door and walk in* Hello darling. How are you today?

Dia Rivera *Turning at the sound of her voice, he motions for her to take a seat.* I'm not in the mood for pleasantries, Aine.* Taking his place behind the desk he calmly looks over at the female.* Word is your father is back in town. Have you heard from him?

Aine Declain *Raises a brow at him* You know as well as I do that if he wants to speak to me that he'll come to me. But that isn't something that I'm gonna hold my breath and wait on. *Stands up, annoyed that I was the last to know that my father was home* If that's all you called me here for, I'm sorry that you wasted your time.

Dia Rivera *He watched as she sashayed across the room to the window that overlooked the atrium, her hips gracefully swaying. Her voice was that of a siren, luring him to the jagged rocks. And in what seemed like slow motions he found himself beside her. Reaching out he lifted a lock of her silky hair.* Aine, I know that it has been difficult, what with your father coming and going without so much as a goodbye. And I didn't mean for the news of his arrival to upset you.

Aine Declain *Staring out the window, trying to keep my pulse in check. The sound of his voice in my ear and the feel of his hand in my hair, startles a gasp and slight jump from me. Without turning to face him, I give my clipped answer* I am far from upset. I have grown used to my father's flitting ways. I am well aware that I am not his keeper, nor would he like me to be. *Stepping out of his reach, I turn to face him* He is not mine, either.

Dia Rivera *Stuffing his hands in pockets he scolded himself for being distracted. He wondered why Meison was back and even more curious as to why he hadn't contacted his daughter. Perhaps she knew nothing but he wasn't going to take a chance that she might. He would use all his charms if necessary to get the information he needed. Sighing* I never meant to imply that you are his keeper. After all you are both adult. I only was trying to bring you the good news that your father is back. I know how much you have missed him. Please forgive me.

Aine Declain *Dropping my eyes to the floor, I shake my head* I didn't mean to snap. He frustrates me with his random coming and going. *Walking back across the room, sitting down in a chair* I did miss him, he's the only family I have. But I haven't been in contact with him.

Dia Rivera *There seem to be a hint of truth in her voice, but he was unsure if she would tell him even if she knew. He would be patience, reel her I slowly. Taking her hand he pulls her up to him, speaking softly he leans down towards her face.* Family can be over rated at times, but I know he is important to you and I my dear will find him and bring him in. *Brushes his lips against hers*

Aine Declain *My eyes shoot to his as he pulls me from my seat and into his chest. His eyes changed, but not to the red I had expected, but to a soft glowing amber. His softly spoken words confuse me, clouding my mind with uncertainty. The feel of his lips on mine making me freeze before melting slightly under the gentle glide. Pulling back, breaking the kiss.* Dia...

Dia Rivera *Caught by surprise, he barely hid his amazement at her strength when she pushed him away. Growling he cupped her face and kisses her possessively. For a brief moment she seem to mold into him, and he felt intoxicated. Sliding his hand he reach around her waist to pull her closer but was halted by a painful bite to his lower lip as she shoved him away.* Wha the HELL!!.??

Aine Declain *Searching his face and eyes, the confusion and anger written all over mine* You wouldn't come near me when I asked you to, but now that you're ready I'm just supposed to accept it? That's not how the real world works, Dia. It's not how I work. I'm not just gonna...*My rant is cut short as he grabs my waist, jerk ing me back against him. His mouth pressing hard against mine. I struggle for a minute before my mind melts and I surrender to his kiss. Sweeping my tongue across his lips, the slightly copper taste of a drop of his blood from my bite flares my taste buds, igniting a passion within me. Wrapping my arms around him, pulling him closer as the kiss deepens*

Dia Rivera *His mind was a swirl in confusion as their kiss deepened his gums aching as they emerged. He was quickly loosing control of the situation to this female. He needed to get control before he gave into the primal need that she was releasing in him. With all the strength that was in him he broke away.* Go! *She looked at him, confused. Stepping away he opened the door.* You are right this is not how the real world works. But in my world... there is no place for one such as you.

Aine Declain *My eyes go wide at his hateful comment. Turning, I rush from his office, heading for the elevator. Slamming my hand against the number for my floor, I bite my lip hard, willing myself not to cry. As the elevator doors open, I walk quickly to my apartment, locking myself inside. Leaning back against the closed door, I release the hold on my emotions. Tears streaming down my cheeks as I slide down to the floor. Drawing my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. My head falls onto my arms and I cry. My sobs filled with hurt and confusion filling the quiet of my apartment.*

Dia Rivera He felt a twinge of guilt as she rushed out the room. Closing the door he touches his lip that still throbbed painfully. She bit him! Not that he blamed her. He knew hew was sending out mixed signals. What was it about that female that drew her to him? Pulling out his phone he dials, Satora and leaves a message that he will be gone for a few days to "Hunt". Grabbing the keys to his cycle his heading out into the night. He needed as much space between him and Aine as he could get*
