Chapter 11

Title: Threatening An Immortale

The sound of keys rattling unfroze them. Fox stood straightening her clothes. Elisa slid off the table adjusting her panties.

Fox walked to the door. She stood in the opening blocking Dominique's entrance. She knew with Dominique's heightened Gargoyle senses she'd be able to smell their arousal.

"I thought I instructed you to go on without me." She told the smaller red head.

Fox could see the subtle flare of Dominique's nostrils. Her green eyes glanced over Fox's shoulder.

"Does Goliath know you're fucking his whore?" Dominique asked. Fox bristled. "I'm sorry." Domininque continued raising her voice.

The CEO looked Fox up and down. "Are you picking up Goliath's discarded trash?" She arched an eyebrow at Fox. "Does your husband know?" Fox stepped into the hall closing the door.

Her blue eyes flashed with anger as she took a step towards the gargoyle.

Dominique held her ground. "Careful Fox," she warned. "You may have been trained to be a killer but I was born one." Fox's eyes widened in shock, Dominique smiled pleased at her reaction.

"There are cameras all over this building. Nothing happens at Nightstone without my knowledge."

Fox stared daggers at the other red head. "I want the tape before I leave this building. I'm telling you one time only Dominique, stay out of this, it's none of your business."

Dominique balled her fists up. "You should have told Elisa that before she showed up at my company causing a scene. She should've taken your lover's quarrel someplace else." Dominique spat out contemptuously.

Fox narrowed her gaze. "Interfere in any way and I'll have mother send the sister's to pay you a late night visit. When their done with you this time, you'll pray for death." Dominique flinched real fear showing in her eyes.

"Elisa was right about one thing." Dominique said. "You are a spoiled, arrogant, bitch!" Fox raised a rusett eyebrow at the outburst.

"That's rich bitch, Dominique. Spoiled, arrogant, rich bitch." Fox corrected smiling sweetly. "Now get me that tape." She commanded.

Dominique waved a dismissive hand. "There is no tape, I was watching from the security monitors in my office." She cursed when she felt her human form blushing under Fox's intense stare.

Finally Fox nodded accepting her word.

Dominique couldn't resist one last dig. "If the council agrees to Goliath and Elisa's union, who do you think Elisa will choose to be with? You or him?" Dominique asked.

"She may be willing to let you scratch her itch but she'll never choose you over Goliath." Dominique shrugged nonchalantly. "You always have your husband to go back to." She turned to leave.

"She may choose Goliath over me but it kills you that Goliath chose her over you." Fox stated.

Dominique's steps faltered. "Even if they can't be together Goliath will never EVER choose you!" Fox called out.

Elisa was shakily trying to pull herself together while the two business women talked. The soft click of the conference room door closing startled her. Fox was leaning against the door watching her.

"We need to talk Elisa." Fox said. "When can I see you again?" Fox asked. Elisa blinked trying to clear her fuzzy brain.

"I'll be at the castle around 7PM. Once I'm done talking with Goliath, maybe we can talk?" Elisa asked.

Fox nodded watching Elisa. The two women stared at each other uncertain what was going on between them. "I'll see you later." Fox said. She looked reluctant to leave.

Elisa turned away to pick up her purse. The forgotten cheque was still on the table. She retrieved it and turned with her arms outstretched to give back to Fox.

Elisa sighed in frustration. The door to the conference room was open and Fox was gone.
