Blue Roses & Red Wine

One: Abduction

Despite the rainy weather, you still chose to walk home from work. It was cheaper than driving and since your weekly checks from waitressing at the local diner wasn't bringing in the money you thought you'd get...you had to conserve all the money you could. The cool winter air whipped at your skirt and you clutched your brown winter coat to you tighter.



"This sucks." You complained as the rain wet your hair, matting it to your scalp. Luckily for you, no one was out on this dark and wet night so you felt safe from any perverts who could get a rise out of looking at your ridiculously short skirt. One day you would talk to the owner about the uniforms the girls had to wear...



Suddenly the hair on your back of your neck rose as if the temperature had suddenly dropped below freezing. Instincts told you to run for your life and scream wildly while doing so...but your legs refused to move. Fear arrested all of your muscles and you stood there, transfixed, unable to do anything. Your hair clung to your face as your wide eyes darted around, scanning your surroundings for any hint that you were not alone. Nothing stood out to you but you couldn't shake the fear that had caused your breathing to become rapid and your heart to being beating against your rib cage, becoming painful after only seven long seconds.



"Get a hold of yourself, stupid." You whispered to yourself then managed to force a foot forward. Then the other. Again. One more time.



You started walking again, this time faster. It was nearly midnight. All of your friends were asleep. There was no one you could call...Or was there? You reached into your pocket and took out your cell phone. 'Reina should be up...She can talk to me until I'm safe inside my apartment.' Because your hand was so wet from the downpour, the tiny thing shot out of your hand and hit the ground with a plastic clatter.



"Shit!" You muttered and bent down to pick it up. There was mud all over the cover screen so you decided to just wipe it off on your jacket. Hell, you could wash it off when you got home. You flipped it open. Water had gotten into the battery and the damned thing shut off on you. "Double shit!"



"Is it that bad?" A sauve voice spoke almost directly into your ear. You jumped so hard that you lost your balance in your three inch heels and fell forward on your hands and knees.



Another, more sophisticated and polite voice, spoke up. "You should trying to be a bit more subtle, yeah. There's no point in harming her."



"Shut up. I don't think I asked for advice."



You scrambled to your feet and looked around. Two men stood behind you, both wearing black rain coats with hoods. You opened your mouth to scream out but in a flash a hand was over your mouth and red eyes suddenly bore into your own.



"I would prefer you be quiet." The suave voice whispered, his breath caressing your cheek. The instinct to survive kicked in and you immediately began to struggle to get away from him. A slender yet strong arm snaked around your waist and anchored you against the man's body. "And obedient."



"Seriously, you should try being more gentle, yeah."



"Shove it." The man holding you growled and his red eyes flashed dangerously. He returned his gaze to you. "Go to sleep."



An abrupt pain in the side of your neck caused your vision to blur and everything faded into darkness.

You woke up in a dimly lit room. Your hand twitched and the feeling of soft furry carpeting rubbed against your fingertips. You sat up slowly and a sharp pain shot from your neck up to the base of your skull. You grabbed your head and groaned, laying back down on the floor.



A door opened then shut. "You okay?"



You opened one eye to see a blonde haired, blue eyed guy about your age looking down at you with concern. He was wearing a white cotton button down, only the bottom four buttons done properly and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He also had on loose denim blue jeans with white socks and amber colored sunglasses. There was this particular scent coming from him that grabbed your attention and made it hard to concentrate on his question.



It took him a second to see how distracted you were before he smiled and squatted down beside you. "It's Hugo Boss. Come on, yeah. Let's change your clothes." He gently helped you to your feet. "First you have to get this heavy jacket off. It's soaked. We don't want you getting sick." His hands moved quickly, sliding the coat off of your shoulders and to the floor. His fingers felt like feathers as they traced their way back up to your shoulders. "Not that Itachi would care..."



"Itachi?" You repeated, distracted by his touch.



His gaze lifted up to yours. He realized what he'd said and bit his lip. "Yes. Itachi, my partner." Watching him bite his bottom lip, drawing it into his mouth and nibbling on it briefly before sucking on it did little to help with your dwindling attention span. "I brought some clothes so you can shower and change, yeah. I hope you don't mind...but I took a look at the sizes of your bra and panties so I could go get you some more, yeah. I didn't know that Itachi would dump you onto the floor like this."



The word shower brought your mind back to reality and you nodded. "It's fine. A shower would be nice."



"Good." He whispered and took your left hand in his right one, leading you towards a door. He twisted the knob and pushed it open. The light clicked on automatically and he pulled you inside. The bathroom was blue, white, and beige, vaguely resembling a vase of blue and white roses. He sat you down in a chair with blue felt covering. He moved over swiftly to a huge white porcelain tub built into the wall and started the water. You watched him move around the bathroom, his motions as calming as the water filling the tub. He poured some bath bubbles into the tub and soon the smell of vanilla filled the room. You closed your eyes, falling into the trance he was setting up just for you. The room became dim and your eyes opened. Candles were lit all over the place. You opened your mouth to speak but a finger touched your lips, silencing you. "Ssh."



He pulled you up from your chair and turned you around slowly. His warm fingers touched your cold skin as he unzipped the damp material and slid it off of your body. The realization took its time to dawn on you...you were allowing a complete stranger to undress you. You stepped away from him quickly and pressed your back against the opposite wall while holding up your clothes. "Who are you?!"



He smirked and let his head drop a bit as he stared down at his sock covered toes. "My name is Deidara."



You frowned. In the candlelight, his feminine features like his long eyelashes and full lips were highlighted. Hearing his name...for a fleeting moment you thought he was a woman.



"Don't let the name fool you, my dear." That gentle, polite voice moved closer to you and soon those feather-like fingers kissed your skin. He leaned forward and whispered into your ear. "I promise that I am very much a man, yeah."
