you gotta help me out
it's all a blur last night.
spare me your freaking dirty looks now, don't blame me.

the way she could enter the grand, white marble building without having to check in or prove that she could pay for whatever she was there for had been amusing at first. however, once annabella had gotten used to the idea of her last name being her credit card, the shine wore off. the man standing at the entrance held the gold framed door open for annabella, tipping his top hat at her in hopes of a tip, perhaps? the truth was, the youngest bletchley didn't carry any coins on her when she visited the montague inn, as there wasn't any need to. the hotel had recently become a second home for her, as the owner's step-daughter was her best friend (for lack of a better word), and his son had been a part of her life for one night, many months ago. now, he played the role of her eldest brother's best friend, and only that. she expected he would take more if she offered it, but one night with alexander montague had been enough for annabella, especially after hearing about the dirty laundry he shared with hollie.

nodding at the man behind the counter, annabella grudgingly allowed his co-worker to kiss her hand before handing her a small menu of sorts which listed every alcoholic drink they served at the in-house restaurant and bar. having just turned the legal drinking age for wizards, annabella didn't see the point behind the man handing her the small menu, and escorting her to a barstool. 'david', as she knew his name to be, had been quite a help when she was still underage and in desperate need of a drink. apparently, and unfortunately, the hours she had spent flirting with him had won him over for life.

"the usual, david." she spoke, doing her best to force a smile. as she lowered herself onto the stool, annabella was careful to pull down the hem of her little black dress; david didn't need any sort of tip that wasn't a galleon. upon hearing the words spoken by her honey but firm voice, the short man with bad skin grinned and set off preparing her drink, obviously beside himself with excitement.

the layout of the hotel's bottom floor hadn't changed a bit, even while mister montague had been off in france for "business". annabella, thanks to her eldest brother, knew the business was his own wedding to a french woman he knew for no more than six months. she sighed loudly and accepted her drink from the man acting as the bartender, slipping him a few galleons. who was she to judge mister montague? the thought was almost worth laughing about.

after making sure she was fully situated without another demand in the world, david politely declined her tip and kissed her cheek, hopefully not noticing the way her nose wrinkled as he did so. finally, after a little unwanted contact, he left and closed the doors to the bar behind him. sipping the clear drink, annabella sighed. she wasn't usually a drinker, even on special occasions. her drinking depended on her mood, and at the moment it seemed prudent. that was another perk about being well known around the hotel. annabella always had a suite reserved in her name for those nights she couldn't stand to be in the delta zeta house, and the staff were more than willing to let her have the bar to herself as well. occasionally, she was joined only by someone with a surname as powerful as hers, but more times than not, annabella could deal with the company. as long as it didn't wear pink fuzzy pajamas and come from the sorority life she was trying to escape, if even just for a single night.

drama was usually something reese tried to avoid, and lately, it seemed that the frat house was swimming with and he needed out. but where? there were several places in arindale valley that would be the perfect place for reese to forget, but tonight, he didn't want to go to his usual places like, the pole or the seven deadly sins. those places were filled with sleazy girls and usually he didn't mind all the sluts and skanks he ran into, but over the past few weeks, he had done some thinking, and they just didn't do it for him. hell, he could have a girl crawl all over him and take him over from head to toe and he wouldn't be pleased. in his mind, he only wanted one woman, and it was scaring him. for the first time in his life, he desired something and actually had standards. the only problem was the girl he was falling for. it was his best friend. he was in love with annabella bletchley.

over the years, anna had always been someone reese had been protective over. he was like her older brother. he had always felt like he would do anything for her. and she had been protective over him. she was his little sister and basically unknowingly flirted with him. every time they were together, she would sit on his lap, kiss his cheek.. run her fingers through his hair and rest her head against his chest. he had never maid any mind to it until a few weeks ago until she walked into the room wearing nothing but her night gown. as much as he felt it was wrong at first, he couldn't help but stare. he couldn't take his eyes off of little annie. no longer was his best friend that little girl next door anymore. she had grown up and very well on top of that. he wanted her and he was fully aware of it. but with all these new feelings, he couldn't tell her. not until he knew she felt the same. it would be risking such a great friendship.

when he decided to go out, he headed straight for a place where he knew he wouldn't be bothered by anyone and where he could still get shit-faced then taken care of. the montague inn. there he could go and have several beers, then get a nice suite, and sleep in a comfortable bed, and then bask there in his self-pitty in the morning. he needed this all out of his system. perhaps these few drinks would be enough to flush this out. not that he wanted to forget about how he felt about annie. no, he never wanted to do that, especially since she made him feel so good. but the risk? it would kill him if she simply let him go.

walking into the bar of the hotel, headed straight towards the bar, not even bothering to look around. it was only when heard a familiar voice did his eyes raise and he turn towards it. 'oh no..' it was anna. out of all people to meet tonight, she was there. quietly, she let her eyes scan over her and he couldn't help that even though she didn't look too thrilled, she still managed to glow. merlin, she was always the most gorgeous girl in the room, no matter where ever she went. despite his lack of enthusiasm to see her, he felt slightly obligated to say something. so after another moment, he moved closer to her and kissed her cheek lightly. "hey there, love" he said quietly. "How are you?"

the way you look at me
is kinda like a little sister
but now you're gunna have to take a number
it's okay, maybe one day
but not until you give me my diamond ring.

from the second she heard new footsteps, annabella decided it was time to start sucking the drinks down, as she expected whoever it was to pull her into an unpleasant conversation she would prefer to be numb for. wrinkling her nose slightly, annabella threw her glass back and drained the contents, slamming the cup down on the counter when she had finished. the burn was unpleasant but tolerable. the presence she felt at her side, however, was not. leaning into the counter and resting her head on her propped-up arm, annabella sighed. all she wanted was one night where she could escape the aroma of a hundred different girl perfumed, the gossip that was passed around like a joint, and the bright pink that seemed to take over the house. hell, annabella didn't want any of that in the first place. she had never wanted to be a part of a sorority, let alone become the co-president. really, she was better suited for alpha gamma sigma; however, co-president of delta zeta wasn't something fran bletchley could pass up for her daughter, even if it was something annabella hated with every bone in her body.

running her hand through her curled blonde tresses, anna froze as she heard the voice approach. grinning, she spun around in her chair and sighed, relieved. by some twisted act of fate, annabella had been saved from the company she dreaded, and instead given someone she could tolerate no matter what mood she was in. stepping down from her bar stool, anna wrapped her grateful arms around his neck and chuckled. "you're a lifesaver, did you know?" she asked with a smile before placing a soft kiss on his cheek and seating herself back on the stool. absently waving her wand over her glass to refill it, the youngest bletchley brought the glass to her lips and drained half of it, obviously in a better mood than before. she hated having to drink alone, but the pathetic act was far more pleasant than the delta zeta sorority house. however, now that reese had shown up, anna could exchange her displeasure for excitement.

since they were young, reese had been the brother her parents forgot to have. though she had mikayle and owen, there was something about reese that neither of them had. he was protective of her, like the other two, yet he still seemed to understand. when annabella needed a shoulder or an ear, he was there for her. their relationship really was greater than any other, and for that, she was thankful. "i'm happy to be away from the university, and even more so now that i don't have to drink alone." she chuckled, raising her glass to him in a sort of toast. however, as she spoke, annabella realized that he didn't yet have a drink.

"allow me," she winked, not bothering to secure the bottom of her dress as she stood like she had around david, the hotel employee. she didn't have to treat reese like other men, no matter how short her dress was or what mood she was in. stepping behind the counter, the blonde began to mix his drink, strong like she knew he liked it. "what brings you here, sesi?" she called over her shoulder, leaning over the counter to snag some ice for his glass. the fact that annabella bletchley was even mixing a drink with her own two hands was surprising; especially since it wasn't for her. the irony behind her actions was so amusing, even she had to smirk.

he watched her fairly quietly from a far for several long moments. now that he knew of his feelings for her, it seemed that every time he saw her, it was as if he was seeing her for the first time; each more beautiful than the time before. it was simply amazing because he wasn't sure that that could ever happen. he had always known annie to be gorgeous, but damn. as he stood by the doorway tonight, watching her sit there alone in the light, her perfect skin seemed to glow and her eyes just seemed to sparkle like diamonds. he was falling into a trance as he watched her, and he was pretty sure if he kept it up, he wouldn't be able to pay attention to anything else but her. everything else would just be drowned out by her ever growing beauty. however, he knew that he couldn't very well just stand there like an idiot forever, so he finally smacked himself and walked over to the bar.

smiling after he spoke, he continued to eye her, though tried his best to hide the fact that it was in a lustful manner. she needn't know. not now, and possibly not ever. they were best friends and nothing more. what they had now was so good and strong. how could he possibly fuck that up for something that could possibly not even be there? he knew he was falling in love with annabella, but he also knew he had to think of what was best for her. of course if he chose to tell her, and she chose him, he'd take care of her.. there was no doubt about that, but what if she didn't feel the same and it hurt her that he felt that way? that he was falling for her and possibly risking their friendship? ugh, no. he needed to clear his head of all this stupidity. if the timing was ever right and it ever came up, he'd tell her. but now? things would have to stay the way they were.

"lifesaver, eh?" he echoed with a small smirk, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist and laughing gently. "tell me princess, what dragon am i slaying this time?" his smile remained on his face, but when she placed the gentle, friendly kiss on his cheek, he could feel a flush rising, so immediately, he pulled her back in for a hug, hoping to avoid her noticing it. when he was sure it was gone, he let her go, and once again placed a small kiss on her cheek. "i hope whatever it is it's not too complicated. you shouldn't be having to worry your pretty little head about too much." he said with a grin. smooth, reese. he had always been so great with hiding his emotions, but never with her. merlin this was going to be difficult. he loved this girl and didn't even have the guts to tell her. perhaps it was because he had never been in love this much before.

when she spoke again, he leaned his elbow on the table and cupped his chin in his hand, gazing at her, eyes sparkling with interest. "you should have called me in the first place, annie. i'm always for getting away... and drinking." he said with a small smirk before laughing. "my two favorite things." it was very well known that reese was a drinker and he did take his drinks very strong... and when it came down to it, reese got shit-faced. the next morning, he wouldn't remember a thing. he could be stripped and tied to a bed in Wales and not remember a single thing.. he was just that bad. still, it never stopped him from it.

he nodded as she stepped behind the counter, his eyes attempting to stay locked on her face, but he couldn't help but to let his eyes wander for a minute towards her glorious backside. merlin.. every part of her was perfect. the part of him that had no respect for women what so ever simply wanted to reach out and grab it to confirm how firm it looked, but then he remembered who it was and refrained.. later feeling the need to smack himself. looking at the back of her head as she mixed his drink, he shrugged. "you wouldn't believe it. the boys in my frat are more like girls than anything else. so much drama. i guess i just needed to get away too."

"tell me princess, what dragon am i slaying this time?"

with her back still turned to him and his drink nearly mixed, annabella smiled at his little nickname. he had always spoken to her with kind words and complements, not to mention they rarely fought. literally, he held all the brotherly qualities she loved without the sibling rivalry she had with mikayle and owen. dropping a cherry on the top of his clear drink and smirking, the blonde turned to face him and passed the drink to his side of the table, bending to wipe her damp hands off on a towel. "only the entire house of delta zeta. it really shouldn't be a problem." she grinned in reply, pacing around the side of the bar to take her seat once again. snagging the cherry she had put in his drink, annabella smirked and caught the berry with her tongue and drug it in, pinching it between her teeth before tugging off the stem and placing it on the counter in front of him. with a smile, she finished chewing the berry before washing it down with a sip of her own drink. "it's not complicated, really. it's just that fifteen different kinds of perfume and sources of gossip tend to wear you down easily," she chuckled, swirling the contents of her glass around lazily.

"my two favorite things."

a smirk crossed her glossed lips as she took in what he had said. "excluding me, of course." she commented, her tone light and full with humor. only reese could but her in such a mood, that much was a fact. tipping her glass back once more and draining the contents, annabella immediately filled it back up with a wave of her wand, and glanced sideways at him. "i could have called you down here with me, but then i would have been signing you up to take care of me." she chuckled, wrinkling her nose at the burn of the liquid. "you know i don't drink often." though she had only consumed a total of three drinks so far, annabella was starting to feel the effects. already, she was deciding that the room was rather humid, and her mood was lightening tremendously.

"i always knew those alpha boys were a bit feminine," she laughed, relaxing a bit in her chair. swinging her bare legs up, annabella rested her feet (which were still sporting her black stilettos) in reese's lap, crossing her legs at her ankles. "looks like we're in the same boat then." she added, holding her half-empty glass up to him and chuckling lightly. "to us and our night away." anna toasted, finishing off the drink after tapping it lightly to his.

"just the whole house? hmm, you know usually i might say know, but for you... i'd face a house full of fire breathing bitches any day." he said with a gigantic smirk as she turned back to him. he nodded slightly, thanking her for his drink. his eyes continued to watch her as she sauntered back over to their table. merlin, he didn't want to feel this way, it just wasn't right. he didn't want to watch her with such a lustful look. he wanted to love her as he had before. he wanted to love her for her and all of her, and he didn't want to take a risk of her becoming one of those he loved for a period of time then after he got to her, he grew tired and cast her aside. not annie. he couldn't bear it with her.

as he gazed at her, he couldn't help but smile, even as she stole his cherry and took it for herself. he wanted to force a playful frown on his lips, but even that wasn't possible. so, instead, he shook his head and rolled his eyes, then spoke lightly. "i would have eaten that.." he let out a small laugh and shook his head, eyes closing for a brief moment before opening to focus on his best friend in front of him once again. "eh, i'll handle it love. you just stay put and give me ten minutes. i'll just go get a cage of rats and i'll have the house emptied in a minute. then you'll have it all to yourself." chuckling, he smiled and placed his elbow on the bar, then his chin cupped in his hand.

taking a sip of his drink he nodded at her. "excluding you." his smile grew and he winked at her. "you, my dear, will always be my favorite thing in the entire world. besides of course girls. and sex. oh and coffee." casually, he looked away from her and he took another sip. "ah yes, and sex. oh. i said that..." smirking he looked up at her, and for a minute, he almost lost it. again, her skin had taken on that gorgeous glow and she looked simply radiant. he wanted her and once again, he was fully aware of it. it took him a minute, but he was able to wipe those feeling away and simply return to looking at her as if she was nothing more than a little sister. "annie, i believe that was what i was born to do." he laughed. "i don't approve of you drinking without me anyways. someone could take advantage of you. love, you're tough, but you still need me"

when her legs came to sit themselves upon his lap, he shifted so they were both more comfortable. his body facing her completely and her legs sitting comfortably on his upper thighs. sipping his drink, he absentmindedly ran his free hand along the skin of her left leg. so soft.. angelic. he could only imagine what the rest of her body felt like. SNAP OUTO F IT REESE! he had to remind himself. soon enough, he wouldn't be able to hide it if he kept up like this. merlin, he needed to get shit-faced and he needed it fast. he still managed to keep the cool look on his face as she tapped his glass to his and nodded gently, "i suppose we are, annie. to use and our night out."

[/size][/blockquote]

[annabella acardia bletchley]

the alcohol had quickly flooded her system, and annabella was officially handing herself and all control over to her drunken half. if she were in a state of mind to think things over, she would have realized that between the way reese looked at her and the reason why she didn't usually drink, things weren't looking good. however, with reese at her side, annabella had allowed herself to relax to the point where she had taken more drinks than were necessary. flicking the cherry stem off the counter, the blonde slid out of her bar chair and onto reese's lap, tucking the leg she had previously been resting in his lap under her body. even at delta zeta and alpha gamma sigma parties, annabella made sure not to drink over her limit. she knew exactly what alcohol, in all varieties, did to her, and knew better than to let it take over in the wrong hands. however, reese had promised to take care of her, hadn't he? and besides, she felt safer with him than anyone else she knew, both brother's included. mik took good care of her, but was over the top at times. therefore, rather than giving him the title of 'protector', anna preferred 'guard dog'.

she giggled as he mentioned setting mice free in her sorority house. in fact, it was quite easy to imagine. a bunch of girls in their pink slippers standing on top of stools while anna, hollie, and about two other girls ran around the house with their wands, trying to get them all out. "you'd enjoy that, wouldn't you? watching me run around trying to catch mice," she laughed. turning, the blonde set her glass down on the counter and maneuvered so she was straddling his lap, her green eyes blazing as she looked down on him.

"besides of course girls. and sex. oh and coffee."

"girls, sex, and coffee. words to live by." she smirked, pulling up the top of her dress. kicking off her heels, the youngest bletchley laughed a light sound that seemed to echo from the walls of the large bar room slash restaurant. "i need you?" she asked softly, draping her arms over his shoulders and lowering her body to rest in his lap. "and you need me. it fits perfectly." she grinned, reaching behind her body to snag her glass again. "i think we should celebrate our night out, sesi."

but i'm afraid that someone else will hear me[/font][/center]

it was as if reese was dreaming. his wish was coming true. it was like someone had read his hearts desire and gave it to him. there was just one thing wrong. annabella was completely trashed. he couldn't take her like this. not when it didn't mean anything. not when she didn't know what she was doing. he couldn't do that to her. if he really loved her he simply couldn't that. he needed to drink. that's what he needed to do. just enough to feel the guilt leave. picking up his drink, he drank the rest of it down. she spoke, his green eyes widened slightly for a millisecond. in his mind, he was nodding, saying 'why yes. yes i would like to watch you run around trying to catch mice. if you were wearing my shirt and nothing else.' but outside? outside he had to calm himself down because otherwise she'd be able to tell. shaking his head, he laughed and placed his hand on her cheek. "annie darling, i'd enjoy it only so much because it'd be oh so funny."

then she did something that he really wasn't ready for. her legs spread to straddle him. merlin what was she doing? kicking off her heels pulling at her dress. was she taunting him? oh and she was so good at it. his green eyes scanned over her body, taking in every inch of her perfect skin. his eyes stopped at the top of her dress where he could just barely see the swell of her cleavage. perfect. when she wrapped her arms around him, he inhaled sharply, feeling her body pressing to his. ooh it was so intoxicating. he wanted more. he wanted her. but he couldn't. he shouldn't. ugh, god damn it. he needed more alcohol. waving his hand over his glass, he refilled it using wandless magic, which he had so cleverly mastered at a young age. grabbing the glass, he chugged down the drink and brought his hand to his forehead. merlin. he needed the alcohol more than ever because without it, the only thing that would keep her from knowing that he wanted her would be a thin layer of denim.

at her proposal, he could only smile lightly. he could feel the alcohol sinking into him. shaking his head, he took her glass from her and drank it himself. "you're drunk enough as it is. i do need you but not like this. now, i told you i'd take care of you, so how about you come with me and i'll get you a room in the back. i don't think you could make it anywhere else." his eyes set on hers for the meanwhile, trying to keep his grip on reality. they were both drunk, and he had promised not to let anything happen to her. he was going to keep to that. if he really loved her, he'd let all this come at the right time, right?

[/size][/blockquote]

[annabella acardia bletchley]

at that very second, annabella had decided she wanted him on her, around her, and in her. the smell of his expensive cologne met her nose and drove her wild; it was intoxicating even more so than the alcohol, and she wanted more as quickly as she could get it. for the first time in a while (and quite possibly ever), the blonde was acting her age; like a normal, young adult. the youngest bletchley wasn't used to that. in her world, decisions were crucial and composure had to be kept. there wasn't time to let loose when every second needed to be spent manipulating. however, on this rare night, annabella didn't want to think, and it was obvious she wasn't. her hands trailed over every inch of his body she could reach; over his chest, his shoulders, and down his strong arms. pausing with a hand on his chest, annabella unzipped the back of her strapless little black dress and allowed the top to slouch slightly, exposing just the top of her lacy black bra. she sat up on her knees, though remained straddling his hips, a wicked smile playing her glossed lips.

"i could make it anywhere i want," she defended, her eyes narrowing slightly as she slipped a strap of her black bra down her shoulder. "but if you want me to leave, i'm sure i could find my way home." she sighed, pouting slightly. the truth was, unlike most, annabella's ability to walk and physically function wasn't usually affected by the alcohol. however, her mind took a large set back the moment the liquid touched her lips. all of her decisions usually required careful thought and skill, not to mention enough common sense to know what move would help her, and what decision could hurt her. once she was drunk, all of her vital skills were shot to hell and she was left with her instincts, which could sometime take a path she wouldn't usually consider. like now, for instance, and she lightly brushed the swell of her breasts up reese's neck and chin, one of her hands sliding up his torso as the other slipped a finger inside the waist of his jeans.

she placed soft kisses along his jawline and down the length of his neck, pausing just below his ear. softly, she caught his ear lobe between her teeth and chuckled softly under her breath. "i suppose we could get a room, if you insist on it. but i didn't come here to drink and go off to sleep. i could have done that in my own suite." usually, anna could banter with someone for as long as it took to come out on top, but now, she needed him to shut his mouth. she wanted him to stop talking and stop being noble; to stop playing prince charming. all his protesting was going in one ear and out the other. and this annabella, the impaired annabella, didn't care in the slightest. she had other plans, that much was obvious with the way she flicked his ear lobe with her tongue and tugged on the waist of his jeans with her finger. "fine, we can go. but i hear their rooms are awfully cold," the blonde giggled, running a hand up the back of his hair and pressing the length of her body to his.

"reese," she sighed under her breath, tugging at the bottom of his shirt as if to say get this the hell out of my way. she rested her forehead against his, her green eyes gazing down at him and burning with the things she wanted him to do. her drunken self was almost the exact opposite of her sober self; not at all witty, smart, cautious, haughty, and arrogant. she was friendly and she was... pressing her lips to reese's.

without thinking twice, annabella had cupped his neck and pulled him to her, eagerly claiming the kiss she had wanted. her body pressed hard against his as she took in the feel of his lips and the stiffness in his lap. she might have smiled if she wasn't so obsessed with kissing him, feeling him, pulling him, pushing against him, working him, but most of all, wanting him.

it was stupid. it was so stupid, but she couldn't stop. better yet, drunken anna couldn't stop. and even better than that, she didn't want to.

things were getting hotter by the minute and it was nearly killing reese. she looked so grown up, and so sexy. he wanted her, but he couldn't do this to her. this wasn't how he had wanted her to find out at all. he wanted to tell her he loved her. but not like this. but by the way things were going and the way the alcohol was taking over his system, they were going to end up in the back bed room, clothes strewn about and rolling in the sheets. his eyes widened again, then quickly shut as her hands began to roam over his body. "annabella, please.." he muttered, but but before he could say anything more, he opened his eyes to watch her hands leave his body. at first he thought that was a good thing, however, when the first thing he could see was her lacy black bra. he wanted nothing more than to let his hands roam over those beautiful perfect breasts. merlin, how could she be so perfect?

"i don't want you to leave..." he murmured, his hand coming to his eyes as he shook his head. "you just need to.. ooh merlin." his words were drowned as those perfect breasts he had been admiring before came in contact with the skin of his neck and there was nothing he could do to keep his arms from wrapping around her. then her lips came in contact with his jaw and his neck and he felt her hot breath on his ear. "damn you anna." his hand coming to sit on her waist. "i'm not letting you embarrass yourself in a bar, and i'm not letting things get any further with us. you know i love you but not like.." yet again his words were cut off but this time they were cut off by a kiss. raising his eyes, he tried with everything within him to hold back. but everything he knew was right just went right out the window.

for the longest time he had been waiting for that and finally, his met hers and it was unlike any other kiss he had ever experienced in his life. the taste of her lips was like something he knew he wasn't worthy of but he wanted more... and he wanted in. he knew he should stop, but he couldn't. despite the best of him, he couldn't hold back anymore and he kissed her back with every amount of passion he held within him. it was beyond the stupidest thing he had ever done in his life, but he was loving ever minute of it. finally, the forbidden kiss ended, and he pulled away from her, slowly, bitting down gently on her bottom lip, hands cradling her cheeks. his forehead remained pressed against hers as he spoke, and his eyes looked into hers. "this shouldn't be happening. this shouldn't be happening." he breathed against her. "this isn't us." Picking her up with one arm he shook his head and pushed through the door behind the bar, leading to a long hallway with a bedroom in the back of it.

once they were in the room, reese carefully placed anna on the bed and let go of her, walking to the other side of the room to close the door. turning back around to face her, he looked into her eyes. "you're going to sleep there, and i'm going to sleep in the chair." he said, pointing towards the luxurious black leather chair in the corner. "if you need anything, let me know." then with that, reese sighed and sat down in the chair, placing his head in his hands and leaned back.

[/size][/blockquote]

[annabella acardia bletchley]

"sesi, i need something." she whined the second he sat back in his chair. she felt the smirk spread across her lips as she struggled to sit up, fading in and out of her drunken state. never before had she been so in need of him, and what she had never imagined him giving to her. as she sat up, the quilt melted away from her body and she reached up to unzip the back of her dress and pulled it up and over her head. instantly, annabella felt the chill of the room as she sat with only her bare torso and bra exposed.

"either you," she paused, slipping a strap of her bra down her shoulder. "get over here, or i'm coming to get you."
