Not what it seems(blair/lady)

"Ill be right back then."he said smiling slightly as he walked out of the room and headed down to his office. When she came out of the tub he was reclined in the window seat,dark grey fleece pants clinging to his legs,shirtless despite lwaning back against the cool window. And adorably enough,a pair of reading glasses resting on his nkse. But even the scholarly reading glasses coulsnt take away from the fact that he was a very dangerous man. Flicking his eyes up at her before returning to the briefing he was reading he nodded towards the door at the back of the room,"my private librarys through there if you want to get something. And yes,there is something besides law books in there,"he said his lips quirking into a smile because jax and jack gave him a hard time about only reading work relatwd books.before he returned to what he was doingeven if he wasmt really paying attention to her,the tenting in his sweats said that he was painfully aware of her presence in his room,even if he had no intention of doing anything about it yet. He was so going to make her beg foe him before he took her however he wanted again.which wouls be the perfect ending to his night.

Kate emerged from the bath, her hair slowing drying into natural waves down her back and her face free of makeup. She held a towel tight around herself, looking up at him with interest. For a moment, she just stared at him. His presence was different from the night before, but he was just as sexy. However, he was sexy in a different way. He looked like a intellectual, not a man who spend his days defending a ruthless mob boss. And she had to admit, the glasses were pretty cute. Glancing to where he motioned to the library, she nodded, then turned back to him. "Can I wear clothes when you are not fucking me?" she asked, bitterness coating her voice. She stood awkwardly nude in the doorway, wondering exactly how all of this was going to end up. While she depended on him for protection, she hated him for taking her away from her real life. And there is definitely the pesky problem with her thinking that he was drop dead gorgeous. Her thoughts were oh so conflicting.

Zane looked strtled at her awkwardness, and a slight blush rose in his cheeks as he nodded."Well, I don't want you getting sick, so I guess I could let you get dressed."He said laughter in his eyes as he bit his lip, before deciding what to do."Just wear some of mine for now I'll take you shopping tomorrow."He said tilting his head towards the dresser, trying to figure out why he found her anger towards him more amusing then annoying. "Do you need anything else?"He asked after a moment, looking vaguely awkward. He wasn't used to having women he actully wanted to make happy by taking care of them. Des[ite havingsex alot, he usually didn't allow anyone to stay with him. And since keeping her happy meant keeping his own ass out of jail, he was willing to try and be more pleasant than he usually was.

Kate nodded slowly and turned toward the dresser, taking a pair of his boxer briefs and sliding them over her toned, slender legs, then grabbing one of his button down dress shirts and slipping it over her shoulders. As she buttoned the shirt, she glanced over at him. "Not really," she murmured, shrugging a bit. She moved to sit on the foot of the bed, watching him curiously. When he had his glasses on and a book in his lap, he seemed a lot less threatening. "So did you always want to be a lawyer or did your father prime you to be one for his benefits?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. She sprawled out on the bed, laying on her stomach and kicking her legs. Nodding to the bar, she cleared her throat. "Do you have any wine?"

Zane swallowed hard as he looked up at her, shifting slightly uncomfrotable as every thought in his head narrowed down to the fact that she was wearing his clothes. The only person he shared clothes with was jax, but there was something extremely sexy bout her wearing his underwear. "a little of both. Father made me go to court with him when I was a child, and I liked the idea of being able to control someone else's life like judge or a perscutor. of course, being a defense attorney to the mob is equally demanding and interesting and being DA."He said, his ambition showing. Now that would be a feat. A mob's son named leading perscutor in the city. "There's a few different kinds. Take what you want."He said a smirk quirking his lips, raising a eyebrow. Offering anything in that moment, and his body readily agreed that whatever she wanted from him was okay, even if he knew she was a virgin still in all ways that counted, and wouldn't demand him service her, he still wanted her to ask."Do you like the opera?"he said after a moment watching her as she poured herself a glass, distracted from work by the beautiful girl.

Kate poured a glass of blush wine, swirling it around a little before taking a sip. Something about the ambition in his voice made him more attractive in her mind, but she pushed it away. Sighing, she went over to the bed and crawled up against the head board with her wine glass, looking at him from across the room. Her eyebrows raised at his question, looking at him with curiosity. "The opera?" she asked, tilting her head to the side. "I mean... I've always been interested in it, but I've never been able to go to one. I never knew anyone who would actually go with me." She shrugged and swirled her wine around in her glass.

Jax walked in, looking at the two with confusion. It was odd to see his brother doing work from his room and a girl wearing his clothes. Hell, it was odd that Zane even allowed her to have clothes on... "Well, I got the dress," Jax grumbled, rolling his eyes. He placed the garment bag on a hook in the large closet. "And no, I didn't pick it out. The hot girl at the store downtown did. Hope it works." With that, he shrugged.

Kate looked at the garment bag wit surprise, looking through the clear plastic to see a gorgeous gold and black designer dress that had to have cost thousands of dollars... She didn't even know dresses like that existed. What kind of like was she getting herself into?

Zane looked thoughtful tilting his head a little before going back to the folder on his knees."Well then. We'll have to enjoy a show sometime."He sid his smirk widening little as she looked over at Jax,"Thanks Jax."He said swallowing hard as he looked at the dress. "It's perfect."He breathed softly looking amused.This was going to be fun.



Hours later Zane finished doing his tie, straightening it before glancing towards the bathroom where he could hear kate getting ready."Are you ready to go, kate?"He asked fr once his voice held a edge of anxiousenss. The only clue that zane wasn't as calm or as sure of his plan he pretended. Waiting for kate he smiled, looking slender and handsome, like any business eecutive stepping out of the office for a night on the town, except there ws something dark about him, something that promised the more anxious he got the worse his mood was going to be."Kte?"he said knocking on the door again, pushing it open to see if she was ready to go, his mouth falling open a little when he saw her, eyes dilating with lust as he considered the beautiful women in front of him. Okay, maybe he wouldn't go out tonight. Everything in him demanded that he stay home and not share this beautiful woman with anyone until he'd made sure she knew she was his.

"You're the first one ready?how odd."Jack teased jax as he sank into the sitting room chair, amused that zane's mere promie could get not only him, but the police cheif, dante, jax, and his father waiting for him to show up.Looking dark and dangerous himself in the all black tux he looked around the room, trying to not worry about whatever zane had planned.Surely if they were all present, it wasnt going to be so bad."When you sid be here at 8, I assumed we'd know what was going on."Dante said trying to not look over awed as she looked round the room even if she wanted to gape at how very beautiful and overhelming everything was.The teal blue dress she wore clung to a body that was lush and beautiful, but deceptive in hiding just how strong she was.

Kate turned to the sound of her name, looking up at him from where she stood in front of the mirror. The maid put the finishing touches on her hair and make up, then spritzed some sort of expensive perfume on her. She felt like she was a celebrity in an odd kind of way; even if it was all against her will. The dress fit her like a glove, and she never looked so sexy and glamorous. Hell, she had no idea she had the potential to look like that... And while she was in awe, she was still self-conscious. Raising her eyebrows, she paled at his expression, taking it as disappointment. "What?" she asked, biting her lip. Her hands smoothed over her dress. There was no denying that she was a little self-conscious about her shorter, curvier figure. She may be small, but she was definitely not stick thin. And this dress showed everything.

(her hair and makeup)


Jax walked in wearing his usual clean-cut, expensive Armani suit and his hair styled back with a small amount of hair product. He grinned over at Jax and leaned against the bar. He smile was humorous. "He's got some sort of plan... He thinks it's foolproof, just like all of his plans." He rolled his eyes then looked over to Jax's partner, Dante. He nodded his head with a polite expression, leaning over to shake her hair. His eyes sparkled with curiosity. In that dress, she looked nothing like the cop he had met before. "I'm glad you could make it to our little gathering," he murmured, giving her a smirk. He walked around the bar and started to make a drink. "Anyone else need something to take the edge off of this potential disaster?"

Zane swallowed hard as he looked her over, a smirk curling his lips as he walked further into the bathroom, moving closer to her, wrapping his arms around her as pulled her snuggly back against him, sighing softly as he rubbed himself against her ass, enjoying the feel of his hardened cock pressing ginst her. Pressing a kiss to her shoulder he sighed as he dug out his phone, dialing."Jack?....I'm staying in tonight....no.I don't care.... But I don't want to see anyone else....Fine!We'll be done in a few."He growled annoyed at his friend as he hung up,pressing a kiss to her neck, biting down ever so gently on her neck,feeling her pulse pound between his teeth."Lets go before I set you up on the counter."He growled annoyed that he hd to go out and tugging her out of the bathroom, heading downstairs with her.

Jack's eyes rolled as he considered the idea of a foolproof plan. Wondering what the man could be up to, wincing a little at the police's 'king of pain' sounded, answering the phone as he loked over t jax, nodding as he mimed a drink for himself. "What?....No you're not. you have to go out, and do whatever disaster you planned....I don't care. You have to come down. Now before I come upstairs and bend you over my knee, brat."he said to the two month younger mobster snickering a little as he hung up, glancing over at jax as he took the drink and downed it. He was so glad he'd managed to convicne his boss to let him and dante come instead of coming himself. At least him and dante wouldn't kill zane out of hand, and zane wouldn't feel the need to posture to much. They might all survive the evening this way. "IT is a interesting gathering."Dante said smiling a little as she loked up at the slightly taller Jax, taking a drink from him, before looking startled as kate and zane walked in, not sure what to think about the girl's seemingly willingness to be with him.

Kate shuddered in his embrace, her eyes opening to look at them in the mirror. Good God, he was sexy... And she had to admit that she liked how attractive he thought of her. The erection against her lower back said it all. "I wouldn't want you to ruin this dress," she countered, following him down the stairs. "It's worth more many that I am." She smirked a little and followed him, her nerves showing in the way that her hand shook within his grasp. She was scared out of her mind; scared she couldn't convince the others that she wanted to be with him. What if she didn't do a good job? What if he decided to give her to the guards or get rid of her all together?

When walking in, she tried to calm herself down, keeping her hand in his. "Where are we going?" she asked in a soft voice, looking up at him with a nervous curiosity.

Jax downed his drink, raising his eyebrows at his brother but keeping his comments to himself. He smirked and buttoned his jacket, the looked at his watch. "It's getting late," he said, "I'll call for the limo." With that, he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and quickly called the driver for the night. When he was finished, he looked over to Dante. "Don't look so nervous. We are mobsters, not dragons," he murmured, smirking a bit.

Zane smiled a little raising her hand, pressing a kiss to her knucles loking worried about her, because it worried him to convince them that it would be okay. "We are going to the opera. Phantom of the opera is showing." "The opera?"Dante stared at them looking startled before blushing a little at jax's words, amused to think of them as dragons, and wondering why in the world he had tried to make her feel better.

"The opera?"Jack looked startled staring at Zane as they made their way out to the car, helping dante and kate into the car, then letting the brothers in before getting in with them, trying to think of why in the world zane would invite them to the opera. Since soren, the youngest and the only girl, had been killed, the eldest mobster had not invited anyone to go with him.

"Yes.It's a good show, and public. They need to see that she's willingly out of the house with me, and not my prisoner."Zane said ignoring dante's curious stare as he stared out the window as they drove, trying to not think to hard about the fact tht he hated having company. "Besides, being in public would reassure kate I wont ruin her dress, which seems to be her biggest worry."He teased her a little raising her hand, pressing a kiss to her palm, his tongue darting out and licking her a little, a playful little smirk on his face

Kate perked up at the idea of going to opera, sliding in beside him with an interested expression. "Wow, really?" she asked, "I thought tickets to that cost a fortune." She then blushed, swallowing a little. Well, of course they cost a fortune. And of course Zane could afford them. This world was so different to what she was used to... When he licked her palm, she yelped, then smirked. Even thought he scared the shit out of her, and she wasn't sure if she even liked him, she couldn't help but laugh at the feeling of his tongue lashing out at her hand. "When a dress cost more than your house, you become concerned with its well being. I don't expect you to understand such a thing," she said, rolling her eyes a little.

Jax looked a little shocked at the idea of going to opera. That was Zane and Soren's thing before she died... "Well, it should be fun," he said, optimism in his voice. He leaned back into the seat and tried not to think of his sweet little sister. Her death was the only real thing that could get to Zane or Jax...

Zane flashed her amused grin at her words, "I get season tickets every year. It's not so bad."He said snickering a little as she jumped. Dante glared at the man as kate yelped looking like she wanted to protest but not sure how without to without pissing him off or how kate responded to him. Maybe she really was here willingly? Looking at jax she leaned over a little to talk to him."You look upset to be going to the opera?"she said looking interested in his answer.

Jack snickered a little rolling his eyes "Oh, don't be surprised at his lack of understanding anything. Zane is confused by most things." "I am not." "So you understand why your mother's worried you'll never settle down and get married?" "Yes." "And the reason is?" "Because I don't date." "...thats not it and you know it. You need to get your nose out of the books more."Jack said before looking at kate with a bemused look, trying to figure out why zane would even consider taking them to the opera. Zane hated going to the opera with company, went ballastic when anyone suggested it. And yet here he was willingly not only inviting one person with him but three. He wondered if the man really could do it. "Don't mind him kate, Zane never learned how to be a adult."he said looking at her thoughtfully before smiling as they arrived at the opera house, getting out and holding out a hand to help her out, laughing amused as zane took his hand to get out then turned to help kate out, the man refusing even that much sharing of the girl he wanted.

Jax looked at Dante, wonder how she had managed to pick up his mood. He pressed his lips together in a fine line, looking away from her. "I'm not much of an Opera person," he murmured, but went silent quickly after. He didn't want to mention Soren in such close proximity to his brother, knowing how the subject could set Zane off. He slipped out of the limo and held his hand out to her, offering to help her out. "Ever been to an opera before? The seats are the best in the house, I'm sure. Zane rarely settles for less."

Kate's eyebrows wrinkled together in a cute, nearly childish way. So he loved the opera, and he was a book worm? All of this on top of a sex crazed mobster? She felt a little woozy at the revelation, shaking her head and allowing him to escort her to the door. Once inside, she looked mesmerized. The place was absolutely gorgeous, decorated in deep reds and rich golds. Every one was dressed the the nines, and she couldn't stop from staring. Never, ever had she seen such a setting... Tilting her head to the side, she felt uncomfortable amongst all the stares. "What are they staring at?" she mumbled, looking annoyed, yet nervous. People could not take their eyes off of her an Zane, surprised to see him not only there with company, but a date. And with their acting, Zane and Kate looked more like a love sick couple than his normal outings with girls... Remembering what he ordered her to do, she huddled close to him, trying to make sure everyone around them thought that she was with this man willingly.

Dante studied him for a long moment before smiling as she got out of the limo, her hand resting in his before drawing away from him as they headed inside."No I haven't."She said blushing slightly because even the cheapest tickets in the opera house were to much for him to get on a cop's salary in new york city, and she figured if she was going to spend the money, she'd not settle for the knock off tickets. Which is why she'd been saving to go, she just hadn't made enough yet. "Oh, you know zane. Damned bastard has his box seats right next to the stage."jack said as he walked in with them, leaving the 'couple' to walk in ahead of them.

Zane looked bemused at kate's expression, trying to figure out what caused it before smiling wider at her reaction even if it was sad to. Even 10 years after he'd first taken soren to the opera, he could still see the look of wonder on her face. Smirking little as he settled his arm around her waist, he held her close as they headed up the stirs to their seats, looking amused."They've never seen me come in with date. Or company for that mtter."He said loking thoughtful, because the only person that had ever come with him had been soren, and even the thought of her could hit him like a punch. Thankfully, he wouldn't actually be with them right now. Walking into the bo seats he nodded towards the split room, instead of a normal box seats the balcony ran most of the wall, and was split into two semi private but connected rooms."Your seats are here.Goodnight."He said abruptly as he shut the door behind them all, moving to the other room, and settling down on his normal couch, ignoring them as they settled into the seats. "Go sit with him."Jack muttered looking at kate who looked confused at her sudden abandonment."We'll be fine in here, go pretend to be the happy couple."He said snickering a little, having every intention of screwing with his best friend's head because zane needed someone, even if it was a cop's daughter.

"Have you seen this before?I've never actually seen the phantom of the opera, not even the movie."Dante said smiling a little at jax as they sat down in their seats, leaning over the edge of the balcony to wtch everyone settling into their seats. For the moment, not a cop but a woman excited to see something she'd always longed to see.

Jax settled into a seat, leaving Dante to sit between him and Jack. "A few times," he murmured, shrugging like it was no big deal. Well, it wasn't to him. He'd spent his whole life going to operas and doing things that only the wealthy could really do. Of course, he wasn't really aware that it was so unusual. Alexander did an incredible job of sheltering his children from the "average". Looking over to Jack, he shook his head. "You know Zane doesn't want any company," he argued, "Hell, I'm not really sure why he wanted to come here at all, if only to torture himself and I." He let out a deep breath, watching as the lights started to dim around them.

Kate looked quizzical at Zane's sudden outburst and his brother's words. Her lips pressed together, and she looked toward the door. Fuck. Was he mad at her? Did she do something wrong? She couldn't afford that. He held her life in his hands... Moving into the private room Zane was in, she slowly walked to the couch and sat beside him, tilting her head to the side. "I'm sorry," she blurted, "I thought I was doing a pretty good job considering I'm not much an actress... I mean, I even sucked up the second grade Christmas play, and hell, I can't tell a joke if my life depended on it," she rambled, then shook her head. "I promise, I'll try harder. Just don't be mad. Don't send me to your guards." She shuddered at the thought of what those guards would do to her.

jack smirked a little shrugging."Then he shouldn't have invited us."He pointed out because it was bugging him that his friend had so successfully cut off people from really knowing him, that he bet the only people who truly knew zane anymore were him and jax, and that was only because they were to stubborn to be driven away. Sighing a little he settled down to watch the show knowing the real show was going on in the room next to them.

Zane looked up startled from where he was sitting on the couch, pulling his feet up so that she could sit down. "...you did fine."He said frowning a little before reaching out and pulling her down next to him, laying on his back, leaning against the side of the couch as he settled her between his legs resting back against his chest."No need to try harder, though if you want to please me, you'll squirm a little more while you're sitting here."he teased pressing a kiss to her bare shoulder,"You're mine I don't share with my guards."He growled at her, teeth nipping at her skin his anxiety and anger at actually having someone else in the room with him getting to him, while he'd known it would be hard to have her here with him, he'd counted on them staying in the other room. He hadn't expected her to invade his privacy while he was watching. But...well since she was here, and despite his emotional discomfort with her there, his body was okay with her laying between his legs, he resigned himself to putting up with her company, wanting to see how she responded to the opera.Even if her wonder and happiness at finally seeing the opera like she wanted was cutting out his heart with each moment as the ply progressed.

As the play went on though, zane was half watching the show, half working on teasing her subtly into a orgasm, his fingers absently stroking along her sides, his nose and lips running along her shoulder and neck. Not enough to totally distract her from the show, but enough to be a pleasant tease.Truly enjoying teasing her, because it was distracting him from the emotional gutting he'd inflcited on himself.

As Kate watched the opera, she looked absolutely entranced. She leaned against him, for the first time not twitching from his touch like a fly stung horse, and letting herself become absorbed with what was going on in front of her. Her eyes watered a little, but she willed herself not to cry. Not now. Maybe later.... It was hard to watch an opera while thinking about her mother and little brother sitting at home, probably worried sick while her father was at work like always. No, she couldn't cry. It wouldn't look good to walk out of the room with her mascara running. After all, it wouldn't help her convince everyone she wanted to be with Zane.

This man loved the opera, was ambitious when it came to his job, craved sex like an animal, and didn't flinch at the idea of murder. And then yet, there was a part of him that confused her greatly. Even while he ran his hands along her body and nibbled at her neck intently, she was sure that something was wrong with him... When the play was over, she turned to looked over her shoulder at him, not moving to get off of him because she wasn't about to irritate him. "You scare me," she whispered, her eyes looked as deep as possible into his. "But not because of the power you have on me... You scare me because I don't think I will ever really understand who you are." She swallowed at that, trying not to think about what the future held. All she knew was that it involved him, and that could be very good... or very bad.

Zane's eyes widened a pout on his lips as she turned to look at him, bemused at his game being done,but looking interested in her words."Good, though you should be scared of what I'll do to you."He said picking her up easily and setting her on her feet, pressing a kiss to her lips briefly and quick as he stood, looking away from her. Avoiding her eyes because he hd feeling that he might end up telling her what ws truly bothering him bout this, but he hadn't told anyone what happened that night soren died, and he'd be damned if he allowed this slip of a girl make him want to share. "It's time to go home. I have every intention of seducing you again."He said a smile dimpling his cheek as he moved into the other room.

Dante smiled looking pleased and happy at the play even as she wiped her eyes, teh emotional play envoking tears despite trying hard to not cry. Wiping her eyes she was glad she was wearing the waterproof makeup before standing, "We should go. Get out of the crowd before everyone starts moving."she muttered not wnting to be stuck in traffic with zane and jax and her partner, all three men confused her greatly.

Kate looked up at him with a slight bit of confusion. On minute, Zane looked on edge and upset, the next he was turned on, then he was happy... She wasn't sure how on earth to keep up with him. He was all over the place. "Do you think everyone believes we are really together...?" she whispered, "Will we go out more so that we can make sure they do?" She slipped her hand into his, for appearance purposes, and walked with him behind the other three, looking up at him with anxiety in her eyes. She needed him to want her, and she needed him to believe that she would do whatever he said so they he kept her and her family safe from his father... This was all for survival... right? Yes. She was not attracted to him; she was not interested. Not at all.... Or she didn't think so.

Jax looked over at her, his eyebrows furrowing at her tears. He didn't understand. He'd seen this play a billion times and he'd never been reduced to tears. Well, the first time he saw it, he was five and sitting in his mother's lap, and he was pretty sure he fell asleep in the middle... "You okay?" he asked, looking a little stunned as he walked along side her and Jack. When the driver opened the door to the limo that they came in, Jax shook his head. "I've called for another limo to take Jack, Dante, and I out for drinks," he told his brother, "I think we could use it after tonight." With that, he rolled his eyes and smirked.

Zane snickered little s he realized tht kate was looking conused. The man was mercuril, slipping from one mood to the next like mercury sliding down hill,fast nd sift, but he knew he was, so he was tolerant when other's couldn't keep up."We will.Yes,some will Because no one would ever believe I brought you to the opera just because i needed to keep ut of jail."He saidraising her hand as she took his hand, pressing a kss to her palm as they walked, laughing a little as he heard the sighs through the crowd as the women watched them. He knew what his effect on women was,and was willing to manipulate it. While most would think he was playing a trick, the more romantic would give him the benefit of the doubt. "Would you like to go out for drinks"He said smiling at kate as he looked down at her, even though he didn't want to, he was willing to if she sochoose.

Dante rubbed her eyes swallowing hrd."I'm fine."she said smiling. Jack smirked a lttle looking at jax."Most people cry at beautiful things. Espcially women. Hell my last dte balled when I watched phantom of the opera."Jack said smirking as he looked at zane, reading his mood."Go home. Get laid.Drink there."he ordered. "Don't go ordering me around." "Why not?I do it all the time.Besides, you know you dont want to."Jack said rolling his eyes as zane got into the limo pulling kate with him."Goodnight."The mobster said through the open door, as he tucked the beautiful blond tight against his body, his eyes already warming as he considered what he could do with a limo wihtout every in it.

Kate looked up at him, surprise in her grey eyes at the thought of him giving her a choice. Did he treat all of the women his father "gave" him like this? Maybe there was a reason that these women seemed so... willing to let him own them. Well, she was different. She was strong; stubborn even. She'd play his game and do what he said, but as of now, she had no plan to beg him for anything. He may on own her physically, but not mentally, no matter how handsome and interesting he was. Wrinkling her nose, Kate shook her head. "I'm ready to get away from all of the stares," she admitted, paling a little at the sounds of swooning from other women in the crowd. When they were inside the limo, she turned to him with a curios glance. "Why is it that people find it so odd that you would bring someone to the opera? Don't you always have women under each arm?" she asked, eyebrows raised.

Jax smirked and moved into the limo with the other two. "When you've been dragged to the opera since the womb, the effect isn't quite the same," Jax said, leaning back in his seat and shrugged. "But hey, that's why we bring women to operas, right? So they get all emotional and romantic and practically beg us to sleep with them," he murmured. Jax may not be the extreme his brother was, but he had inherited that ability to play women if he chose to. When they pulled up to a swanky bar down town, Jax went to a back table that was reserved for them and ordered a round of drinks. "So how's the police chief holding up?" he asked curiously.

Zane smiled as he leaned back in his seat, staring out the window, knowing the girl was watching him. Starting a little at her question he laughed a little. "Not at the opera."He said going quiet for a few moments, ignoring the lancing pain through his chest as he considered that. Like Jax, his sister had been small and dark, so unlike his own icy blond looks that he'd felt even more need to take care of her because of it. "I haven't taken anyone to the opera since my sister died."He said shrugging a little leaning forward to knock on the privacy window,"Take the long way around."He ordered before rolling the dark window up and leaning back in his seat, drawing her to straddle his lap, hands on her ass as he looked up at her."But must we discuss her?I have better things to do with you."He said undoing his tie, gripping her hands in one hand, before tying her hands together, smirking as he looped the end of the tie over the suits hanger, looking amused at his captive."Now that you've been tied up for my pleasure, whatever shall I do with you?"He smirked sliding a hand up her leg, taking his time and teasing her. He really was like this with all his captives, because his ego wouldn't allow him to rape or demand things from them, his ego and self confidence needing them to be seduced otherwise he didn't enjoy dominating them nearly as much.

Dante laughed a little nodding."That would dull the effect."she said though she looked longingly at the idea of having tht much time to go to the opera. She would love to spend that kind of money on tickets. Jack snickered at jax's words "Hmm well if you want to be the one she begs..."He teased rolling his eyes a little."Besides, no one will ever beat zane at the ablitiy to play smemone."he muttered though he wondered. It wasn't like zane to break his one rule of never going to the opera with someone, not even to get laid. Maybe he really was worried about getting arrested. Jack smirked a little."He's ready to storm your place and arrest zane for rape and kidnapping but the rest of the police force not to mention zane's judge, are unwilling to grant the arrest warrant. At least for the moment." "Only because everyone's afraid he'll 'accidently' shoot zane in the process of arresting him."Dante pointed out because she knew that they had cops on payroll and at least one judge, but even the ones not on payroll didn't want to go after zane, at least until they were sure he wouldn't end up dead, because if they killed his eldest alexander lindstrom would make sure they all paid for it.

Kate started at his answer, having no idea that Zane even had a younger sister, let alone one who had died. She bit her lip, wondering if it was a tragic death. The look in his eyes when he mentioned her hinted that it was, and he seemed greatly affected by it... "I'm sorry," she murmured, surprised the guilt she felt for a mobster that had kidnapped her. How fucking twisted.... Her words faded as soon as she felt him tying his tie around her wrists, bounding her to the hook on the ceiling of the limo. "Wh-what are you doing?" she asked, shock in her voice. She was not very sexually experienced, and she sure as hell had never had someone tie her... She whimpered as she felt his hand slide up the thigh that the slit in her dress left bare. Her hands gripped the tie, and she looked down at him with a mixture of innocence and curiosity. "I mean... In the limo?" she squeaked, her eyes darting around with the hopes that no one could see inside.

Jax nodded, listening to Jack and sipping his drink. "Zane seems to have it in his head that if he makes it appear that Kate is with him willingly, there is nothing Chief Abernathy can do," he murmured, leaning back in his seat with an arm draped over the back. "But I think he might be wrong... I mean, Chief Abernathy has been obsessing over this case for years. Longer than Kate has been alive. I seriously doubt he'd stop in order to respect his daughter's wishes to be with a mobster." He rolled his eyes. "If anything, he'll fight harder, and then our father will find Kate useless in his plan of black mail and ship her off to be some sex slave in a French man's basement. He's never been one to allow useless people hand around our house."

Zane looked startled at her apology, swallowing hrd as he tried not to think about Sorsen. The last thing he needed right nowws to onsider the events that had led up to it espicially with the police chief's daughter in his lap.But....anger showed in his eyes as he gripped her thighs, pulling her closer, not above punishing someone to excerise the demons out of his own mind,even if he would stop before he truly hurt her. "What's it look like?I'm going to make you beg for me to fuck you. In the limo."He said his smirk widenly as he laughed as she looked around."Don't worry, no one can see."he reassured finding her squeak endearing as he slid his fingers into her, his thumb swirling around her clit, groaning at the feel of her body around his fingers.

"I agree. He wont stop."Jack said sipping his drink, because his friend could be so oblivious over some things. He really did think if kte wanted to be with him, her father would leave it alone, where everyone else in the world would know that it would never happen like that."We'll just have to wait and see what the chief does. I really don't know how he's going to react to things anymore."He said looking worried becuse the more obsessed he got with the case, the more abernathy seemed to lose his grip on the sane way of dealing with things. "Would zane allow your father to do it?"Dante asked curious about how much control zane had over things, and thinking like cop because she just knew this wasn't going to be nice, no matter how much zane wanted to believe he could do this peacefully.
