You always took my breath away ( Reminy)

[NOELLE LISETTE GRAY]

Of all things thing Reminy said about Katherine and her being dark,hearing that she wished she joined her instead was not one of them. Noelle just offered her a warm yet fleeting smile,there was some many things Noelle hid from Reminy about her sire. Things and darkness that Noelle never wanted to have been in her child's life. While Noelle embraced and took in the darkness,Reminy was still light and had a warmth about her that Noelle never thought she would be able to grab or touch. So she stayed on Katherine's side,a deal with the devil is what Noelle did and since then it was something that never could be taken back,it was something that would be attached to her for the rest of her life. And Reminy would never understand and probably never should. It would taint her world and that was something Noelle never wanted,for as dark as she knew she was,trying to steal away Reminy's light was something she never had the heart to do. Yes she liked when Reminy walked along the dark side with her,it had a sensual seductive side too it that Noelle loved to see in her child. Yet she knew Reminy never could go truly dark,which was something that drew Noelle to her still,a fight that she had in herself to stay strong and pure.

" Reminy,you know things are not that easy with Katherine it never has been,and yes I do work and need to work. But as dark as you find myself,that woman created the darkness you see. So to pull away from her to say no,that would bring her here. And the last thing I want is for my sire to meet my child because that light that you have and hold. she would snatch it away as quickly as light and hoped filled your eyes. So this is the last time we talk about my sire Reminy some things are better left in the dark." Her tone brisk and cold,a side she did not like showing to Reminy,but it truly was for her protection. Katherine would see Reminy as a prize a creature she would enjoy breaking and that was something Noelle would never allow to happen. Her child would be safe. Even if that meant her dance with the devil lasted longer.

Happy that the subject changed she grinned,leaning forward she whispered in Reminy's ear. Talking about the passion and joys the spent in Paris and what would take place as soon as she brought her back. Pulling away she licked her lips and spoke softly her accent a darker seductive tone. " Yes I don't see why I couldn't take you back there. I will take you whenever you wish. Show you more sides of Paris you have yet too see. " If Reminy wanted to go to Paris again,then Noelle would do anything in her power to make it possible. France was her home and if her child wanted to see the beauty of it again then she would allow it.

Perking a brow as the talk of money was spoken she gave a small nod,they would not see eye to eye on this. Although it was to be expected that did not mean that Noelle didn't want Reminy too pursue or think her dream was foolish. She just had a different view on humans,something that her and Reminy would never share. While Rem found hope and worthiness in them,Noelle found them as food and a waste of time and people's patience it was a vicious cycle but Noelle would not speak her thoughts. " Of course my dear,you know we will both stand at an impasse with this,I just don't want to see you hurt or your hard work go to people who do not care for deserve it. Your a hard worker. I just want the people to be worth the effort. " That was all she was going to speak on that subject and she knew Reminy would tell when she was talking about it. There was only so much talk of humans Noelle could take before she said they were nothing more then food.

Watching Reminy speak and then swiftly leave,Noelle left money on the table and quickly followed. Catching her child's scent stepping outside as the cool air and scents hit her nose. Eyes flicking to where Reminy was she moved swiftly and pushed her against the cold brick wall with a heated kiss of lust and desire. A show of what would happen once they were in her room and on her bed. Hands running down her sides as her tongue licked and nipped before pulling away and whispering in Reminy's ear. " I have missed you,my car is a few feet away,then we can go to my home and finish then conversation in a more relaxed and tempting setting." Nipping her neck before pulling back with a dark sensual expression. Waiting to see if Reminy still had the spark she once had.

[REMINY ODESSA BARLOW]

Reminy had always known that Noelle held a certain protective side to her, and sometimes, she even applied it to Reminy directly. However, Reminy had always been strong in her convictions, and while she certainly wasn't the strongest vampire out there, or supernatural being, she had a strength to her that nobody could touch, and that was the strength she kept inside. Her convictions, her beliefs, and her devotion to not go to the dark that Noelle seemed to be so tragically drawn to. When Reminy brought up Noelle's sire, her entire mood changed, and she knew that this abrupt side of Noelle was out of protection and, dare she say it, out of love. ”I know you better than most, Noelle. I'd even wager to say I know you better than her. You could be whoever you wanted. And while she could hurt me... she'd never take my 'light' away.” Reminy's words were calm and quiet, because she didn't want to be confrontational and make the Frenchwoman angry with her. Not when they were having such a good evening together. But, she also wasn't going to just lie back and take her licks like a submissive slave – she had a backbone, and she had developed it much more in the years she'd been apart from Noelle. She just needed to show it off.

But, since she knew that Noelle was done talking about Katherine, and she didn't want to beat a dead horse, she allowed the subject to change to talk of France, which was something that always cheered the older woman up. Noelle spoke lovely words directly in her ear, and the idea that they might actually be able to run away together for a little while did entire Reminy. Even though she fully intended for Manuka to be her home now, her publishing company was in good hands, and she didn't see how leaving for a little while would cause any major damage. Technology was a wonderful advancement, and the ways that she could keep in touch with those hands running her business was incredible. Also, even though she knew that things in Manuka were becoming charged more quickly, she doubted that anyone would start a war in the short time she would be gone, if she did go. ”But you're here on business, mon amour. You couldn't just up and whisk me away because I had a spell of whimsy. Could you?” Reminy asked, locking her eyes onto Noelle's. Sometimes, the younger vampire forgot how truly beautiful the other woman was, and in moments like this, she couldn't help but remember. There were a lot of memories flooding through her mind, but few of them were actually appropriate to bring up in a public location, unless one was feeling daring.

Reminy and Noelle still had their strengths and weaknesses, despite their long history, and the younger vampire knew there would always be certain issues that stood between them. Her alliance with the light side and her love of humans was something that she didn't keep a secret from Noelle, although she knew the older woman didn't like this particular fondness. However, she accepted it, which was something that surprised Reminy... even if it was just a way for her to be tolerated, she had to be a little bit grateful that the woman didn't completely disown her for her differences in opinion. ”It's been a stalemate for years; I never expect you to switch sides, nor should you expect that from me.” Reminy's words did hold a bit of sadness, though she tried to keep it from leaking in and influencing her words. She didn't want Noelle to know that she was secretly disappointed that she would never be able to save her sire from the darkness that continued its hold on her. But, some things, Reminy had learned, truly were lost causes. So, again they found themselves at a familiar impasse. Comfort could be found in familiarity, and that was why they continued.

Perhaps that was why, despite all the other conversation, Reminy decided to leave and go home with Noelle. So much had happened in her life that sometimes, she just craved the familiarity that an old lover could bring. Reminy's history wasn't exactly scattered with old lovers, but there were a few, and Noelle was one of the best, and ones that she had the most history with. Reminy loved Noelle, still did, and probably always would, and despite their differences, she was always able to find balance and comfort in that fact alone.

The cool air enveloped her for a moment, and she took a deep breath, wanting to make sure that she was making the right decision, because as soon as Noelle emerged from the club, there would be no going back. After a moment, Reminy felt contentment wash over her, and she felt better about her overall decision. Not a second later, Noelle stepped outside, more bundled up than she had been in the club, and Reminy smiled brightly at the woman. Before she could speak, however, she was pressed up against the brick wall outside the club, and Noelle was all over her, sending a wave of lust through her body that awakened senses that she'd almost forgotten. Finally, they found something to agree on: Reminy had definitely missed Noelle, too. ”Then what are you waiting for? Take me home,” Reminy purred in her sire's ear, and then grabbed her hand in a gentle, sweet way that was different than the kiss they just shared. Even the darkness couldn't keep Noelle away from her side, and despite their differences, Reminy saw this little bit of retraction from what Noelle had been meaning to do that night as a personal victory.

[NOELLE LISETTE GRAY]

The passion with Reminy brought everything back to Noelle from when they first met , to when she turned her. It felt like nothing had changed and that was a blessing and a curse while Noelle had grown darker , it seemed like Reminy had found light and while Noelle could not blame her for that. It could not stop the thoughts of what would happen once their passionate night would end. Noelle could not tell Reminy about what she was really doing here. It was something unspoken between them like if she spoke of it now the passion they had would be broken. So all she would do now was play the silent one and just enjoy the passion. She knew Reminy was no fool which was another reason why Noelle chose her. Reminy was brilliant and smart sexy everything that Noelle loved in a woman. Which was why nothing would ruin this night or her business doings that would be discussed later . Pulling back from the kiss her lips flushed her breathe heavy and breathless as she leaned in taking her child's center and nipping at her neck slowly her fangs grazing it before pulling back with a sensual smile and look. It seemed like she wasn't the only one ready for their night to continue.

Smirking at that she gently took her hand and led her towards her car , waiting for her too slip inside. Noelle shut the door and ordered the driver too continue , not wasting time she went back to kissing Reminy. Her hands moving across her body gently slowly taking in everything that had been missed from their time apart before pulling away and sliding back beside her. Allowing her fingers to flow though Rem's hair. " Your hair has gotten longer , I like it I think it suits you very well " Gently kissing her cheek. Allowing her hand too intertwining with hers. " We are almost there my pet. " Kissing her cheek as the world passed them by though her car. It was interesting never did Noelle think that her trip to this town would provided this and in a sense change her life again. It seemed like her life would always been changing and that she did not have a problem with as much as she thought she would. Pressing a button a door slide open as wine slowly showed in it's place. Grabbing two glasses she poured them each once and handed one to Reminy. " Now here is some good wine, you will remember the taste as soon as you drink it." It was the same wine they drank when they first met.

So many memories of them together and it was all beautiful nothing bad came , although Noelle tainted Reminy too the dark. She never saw any harm in it, so she fed from humans. Human blood was a gift and it was one thing that gave them life , why should they be afraid to drink something that allowed them to live. Katherine had made her dark. Noelle brought Reminy into the darkness but she had found her way back to the light. It seemed like Noelle would need to slowly bring her back , to show her that not all the darkness was bad. That their was a power with it that made you sexy strong and allow men to bow too you. Noelle did not fear power or darkness if anything she wanted more of it.

Hearing the car pull too a stop she set down her glass of wine and looked outside to her condo. They were home and it was time for their night to finally begin leaning forward she gently whispered into Reminy's ear. " Ready too go down the rabbit hole once more my pet. " Letting her teeth gently nip her ear lobe she slipped from her seat and opened the car door slipping out glancing back inside waiting for Reminy to make her appearance.

[REMINY ODESSA BARLOW]

The passion. The heat. Everything she remembered that was shared between them before, in a time that seemed like a lifetime ago, still existed between them. Reminy knew better than to just dive in recklessly, and not think for a second what and who Noelle was – no matter what happened between them, the younger vampire always had that in the back of her mind. Katherine was someone she'd been lucky to be spared from meeting, but the older vampire's thrall had always had some sort of concrete hold on Noelle, limiting what Reminy saw as her true potential. Reminy cared, and she always would care, but she knew that this particular argument was something that would be basically useless. If Noelle ever wanted to get her freedom, she was the only one who could break free and break the spell. She'd have to want something badly enough to consider abandoning Katherine and spending her immortality in a way that would actually make her happy. Reminy knew Noelle well enough to know that contentment and happiness were two entirely different emotions, especially on the Frenchwoman. Noelle wasn't happy, she was content, and felt that she was serving some sort of larger purpose, that she owed Katherine some kind of debt. But, since Reminy knew this was neither the time nor the place to discuss such matters, she followed Noelle into the vehicle that came for them, and followed her sire inside.

As soon as they were inside the vehicle and headed toward their final destination, Reminy was immediately succumbing to a flurry of passionate kisses and caresses. She sighed into every one, and returned Noelle's action with fervor, letting the older vampire know that yes, she enjoyed this, and yes, she missed them, but Reminy still tried, somewhere deep within her, to keep some modicum of self-control. Their kisses broke, and Noelle commented on her hair. It had never really been short, but had been sheared just beyond her shoulders when they last saw one another. Reminy decided to let it grow, and now it was nearly halfway down her back. Her hair was one of the features she was proudest of, even if it was a common color, and really nothing special, so the compliment made her blush. ”Well, if it makes any difference, what you haven't changed makes you just as beautiful.” Noelle looked so similar to how she had before, and maybe a few small, insignificant details had changed, but other than that, she was still the same woman that Reminy loved.

The car ride was relatively short, and when they got out, Reminy couldn't help but take in the sights around her. Noelle always had lavish tastes, and this building, her room, it all was so beautifully detailed and so... her that Reminy couldn't help but feel a little simplistic in her own tastes. She did enjoy style, yes, but comfort when she was lounging around at home with her books and her old-fashioned tastes. Noelle's style was more old-fashioned European luxury with a modern twist that reeked of money and the finest things that life had to offer. Some things would never change.

”Noelle, this place is beautiful,” Reminy mused, looking around at everything from fine art to lavish furnishing that looked so completely comfortable, even though the place was barely lived-in. Reminy supposed that it was a temporary dwelling, but still loved it. Noelle poured them two glasses of wine from a very expensive looking bottle that came out of a sliding drawer, and Reminy accepted her glass thankfully. She took a sip, and the taste flooded her tongue. ”This was the wine you always kept in your cellar in Atlanta, wasn't it?” Reminy asked, curious. That vintage had to be extremely hard to find, and while she wondered for a moment how the woman got her hands on a bottle, this was Noelle she was talking about. ”Did you have it in reserve or something?”

Noelle's answer made her smile, and Reminy knew that Noelle had always been a charmer. Which was partially why she wasn't surprised when the woman got closer to her and adopted a rather seductive tone, asking her if she was ready to go 'back down the rabbit hole.' It was a clever reference, and Reminy knew that, like the rabbit hole in one of her favorite storybooks, this path was also dangerous.

”I thought we could come here just to talk,” Reminy said, lifting an eyebrow playfully. After all, she couldn't just give Noelle everything she wanted that easily. This woman already got practically everything she ever wanted, including Reminy on more than one occasion. The chase was fun, at least for her, and Reminy wanted to show Noelle that she wasn't a child, but a fully grown woman who could hold her own, even up to Noelle's high powers of seduction. Maybe she'd give in, maybe not. Reminy took another longer draw of her wine, enjoying the flavor and smiling at the older woman. Only time, and the evening would tell where this path would truly lead.

[NOELLE LISETTE GRAY]

Noelle was happy to think that Reminy thought she was still beautiful , at least in some form of light. It has been so many years since they have last spoken or talked to one another. Reminy had yet to lose any of her beauty either , she was strong intellgent and everything that Noelle grew to love about her. Which was why she had wanted Reminy in her life , to have someone so pure and such a brighter look on life. It was like a sweet treat that you could only have a little bit of at each moment before it made you sick. Reminy had it though which made Noelle crave her all those years ago , too see that their time apart had made her even stronger. Well Noelle would be lying to herself if she did not say that she wasn't proud of her child. Reminy had been a light that never seemed to be able to be fully dulled. Which was rather amusing to Noelle as much as tired to steal her away to all of the darkness , and was able to for most of the time they were together. Reminy was able to go back to the light , it was annoying Noelle would not lie to herself and say it wasn't. To have a child who cared for and wanted humans to be alright and safe and didn't think that they weren't food. Well Noelle laughed at the thought in her mind. Humans food was all they were good for ,it just seemed that Reminy needed to reminded about it again.

Glancing around her place , she slowly gave out a pleased sound at Reminy appercation of her place. It was classy and modern bits of Noelle's style all thoughout her home , although there were certain places she wouldn't show Reminy. All in all it was a beautiful condo and Noelle was rather pleased with it. " Thank you , you know me though keeping things minimal but beautiful and classy. Reminds me of the place we use to share so long ago. " Running her fingers though her hair she moved to the couch with their wine and took a small sip. " Why yes it is , you know I always enjoy the best of wines. Of course I did I bought some cases before my journey here. You know I won't stop still I get what I want."

Drinking this wine with Reminy brought up so many memories , they all had a good place in her heart. Yet it would never been shown on her face those for who didn't know how to read her. Reminy though she would know that , Noelle was very pleased to have her in her life. Smirking at that , she gently touched her cheek and nipped her lips before pulling away and laying back against the couch turned to face her. " Of course we are here to talk , but there is no point in not enjoying each other's company." It was going to be interesting to see how their night went , Noelle would be happy with how ever it turned out but it was going to be fun to see.

[REMINY ODESSA BARLOW]

Giving in would have been so remarkably easy. Noelle was just as alluring that evening as she always had been, and Reminy knew that it would be an enjoyable, pleasant experience to just give in and allow Noelle to spend an evening with her in the same vein that they had so many nights before, when they were together. Once, they had been nearly inseparable, and while the years had only changed them so much, Reminy wasn't sure that giving in was what she wanted, or what would be best for her. Noelle's wants were fairly obvious, and damn near written on her lovely features, but Reminy knew that she wanted to be strong more than she wanted to give in. At least, in that moment. In a way, it was like fate that they had both been drawn to the same city, which was really a small chance when one considered all the different cities the world had to offer. She'd been to a number of them, though not even close to all of them, with Noelle at her side. There was a major reason why so many supernatural beings were drawn to Manuka in the present moment, and while the younger vampire knew exactly what that reason was, she didn't want her mind to drift there that evening, when she was still considering throwing caution to the wind and letting them both have what they really wanted.

Plain and simply, they were on separate sides of this upcoming war, and had both been drawn there for the same reasons. They were just fighting on opposing sides of what was bound to be an awful, bloody battle that would claim many lives: innocent and impure, good and evil. The lines would be drawn, and when they were, she'd see her love cast on the other side of the fence, and they'd have to stand against one another. That was probably why she was hesitant about the entire situation, lovely and enticing as it was. ”I miss that place, sometimes.” Reminy said honestly when Noelle mentioned the home they used to share together. It had been many years, and she wondered what had happened to that property. ”Do you still own the deed, or have you sold it?” Her interest wasn't one to go back there, or even share living quarters again: marriage, though it had been wonderful, had made her have a strong desire to still live in her own place, even if she was in a serious relationship.

The memories were suddenly becoming too much. The apartment. The wine. The woman. Noelle still clung to the past and seemed to be doing all right: why did she take such stock in the future? Yes, they were different people, but they always had been. Perhaps they could learn to function in their differences once more. Reminy crossed the room to her sire and looked the woman directly in the eyes. She set her wine down on a nearby end table and caressed the other woman's cheek, feeling comfortable enough to touch her openly without concern of being rebuffed. ”I'm quite happy to be here with you.” Reminy said, in case Noelle had any doubts. The evening would go where it was meant to go, and she might well end up being a slave to her passions yet again. Where Noelle was concerned, Reminy doubted that it would be a terrible way to go. The younger vampire leaned in and connected her lips to the Frenchwoman's, unsure about her future, but wanting to have a taste of the past, even just for one evening. Maybe that would be enough to clear her thoughts and set her toward where she needed to go. And maybe, just maybe, that would be leading her back toward Noelle.

[NOELLE LISETTE GRAY]

Her hand idly running across her Childe shoulder as thoughts of long ago still ran though her mind. Yes it was good to have her back into her life , so many things needed to be discussed and many nights of memories needed to be reformed. Reminy was her light to Noelle's darkness even though Remy didn't see that. Noelle did and she would do whatever she could to make sure that Remy was that part of her life again , oh it would take time but Noelle had plenty of that. Well they both did so nothing really could stop Noelle's plan of that. She needed too move carefully though , if she moved to fast then Reminy would go away and she would never see her again. That was something Noelle couldn't have. Reminy needed to be slowly welcomed back into her life again and then Noelle would relase the trap and all would fall into place. Smiling at those thoughts she licked her lips sipping her wine. They could have plenty of room here , she would need to make sure. Reminy never saw her back room but that wouldn't be a problem , having done this for so long that would not be hard. Yes so many things would need to happen yet it would take a certain skill and Noelle was happy that she had it.

Shaking her head she offered Remy a warm smile. " No the place is still mine , so many memories there I couldn't dare part with it. You always found it so beautiful as well it wouldn't seem right to sell it." France so many memories good and bad there , she knew that eventually she would go back home. All she could hope was that Reminy would chose to follow her. Katherine was somewhere around the world so she knew that they would be safe if they chose to venture back home. She had things to take car eof here first though , she needed more girls and of course Reminy needed to be back into the fold. " Well you know you can always come back with me. We did have many fond memories there did we not." Her words soft yet a hint seductive , they were lovers and took part in so many things. Noelle missed that and she knew what she wanted and that was Reminy. She would do whatever she needed to in order to get that back into her life one way or another it would happen. A soft grin at that in her mind brought her back the present with the woman in question at her home drinking wine with her. It was already slowly starting and Noelle loved and enjoyed that all the more.

Then she felt the touch on her cheek and she glanced to her Reminy eyes , her own hand encompassing the hand touching hers. " I have missed you as well." Sealing her words with a kiss she slowly led them back to a wall. Her hands gently trailing down her sides . She was trying to just talk and not jump in again , but the passion the smell scent everything was coming back . Noelle couldn't stop the desire she wanted. " Don't say noReminy I know you want this as much as I do.. Let's just enjoy this night with no questions about what will happen after." Her accent coming stronger as the passion between them became even stronger. " Shall we go to someplace more comfy such as a bed or would you like the couch or here words as well. "

[REMINY ODESSA BARLOW]

Memories could really be just too much sometimes. Being so close to the woman she'd loved for a great number of years, the woman who was solely responsible for one of her greatest transformations, the woman who had helped her find her true potential and made her able to be strong and independent in an era that wasn't fond of women being such... it was almost too much. Almost, because the touch that Noelle was giving her, just a slight contact on her shoulder, was making her head spin. She'd forgotten just how potent the effect the Frenchwoman had over her, and how strong the pull. But now Reminy was forced forward, caught in a whirlwind of memories that caught her by surprise and made her live in the moment like she had so many years ago. In a way, this wasn't the future – this was her living in the past, but it felt good. So many, if they had the chance, would say that they'd never go back to their past for a number of reasons, but Reminy found strength and other lovely happenings in her past, especially her past with Noelle. There was no reason to fear going back or a reason to be ashamed for wanting things to be in a simpler time when the world seemed so new and full of possibilities.

Noelle told her that she kept the place in France, and Reminy wasn't surprised but gave the other woman a brilliant smile. She really did love that place, and the memories kept and made within those walls were essentially priceless. ”I was just thinking about some of those memories, actually,” Reminy confessed, feeling that Noelle was trying so hard to pay attention to her the way she used to. It almost seemed wrong for the younger vampire to try to keep the elder woman out of her mind and her thoughts.

They used to share everything: fears, desires, hopes, dreams. Nothing had been too intimate or confidential, and Reminy wondered if Noelle still had a desire to go back to the way things used to be. Reminy wouldn't trade some pieces of her past, not even to go back to happy-go-lucky, passionate years with Noelle. Her late husband had been someone she'd loved very much, and taught her a great many things, just as Noelle had. While Noelle taught her that anything was possible, Lowell had taught her that every good thing has an end – nothing truly lasts forever, even if you have immortality. ”Perhaps one day we'll have to pay it a visit. What do you think?”

She didn't doubt that Noelle would be willing, because it meant that they'd spend more time together in a place where it was basically impossible to ignore the passion that continued to fizzle between them. Reminy didn't even know that she could ignore it any longer. Perhaps she hadn't ever been ignoring it, but rather putting off the inevitable. Her confession of missing her Sire slipped, and Noelle seemed very pleased that she'd let those words fall upon her ears. No, Reminy couldn't resist her any longer. Noelle begged her not to say no, and Noelle seldom begged. She wanted Reminy just as badly as Reminy wanted her, and while the younger vampire knew that this was a dangerous road, and still wasn't positive that going back to her roots was what she wanted, she came to peace that she would allow herself to indulge, just this once.

”Bed, take me to bed,” Reminy said, finally giving the Frenchwoman the answer she wanted. Reminy kissed her with a passion and allowed the night to take them both.

[NOELLE LISETTE GRAY]

Memories were such a funny thing some of them held great moments in time , others held sorrow and things that you tired to drown out to forget. Both of them were a double edged sword. At the moment all Noelle could do is remember when Reminy first entered her life and all the joy and passion they shared. It was like this but stronger and fresh , not that her love for Reminy ever faded. No seeing her now again it felt like her heart was being squeezed in her chest. All Noelle wanted to do was pin her to the bed and take her over and over again and have her get lost to the bliss they long ago shared. Times had changed though Noelle knew that much. It was hard to pick up where you knew that time was different now. Reminy had changed she was stronger more sure of herself and Noelle had changed as well. While Remy had grown and embraced the light , the shadows and the creatures called to Noelle. Her human trafficking and buying was something that Remy would never her about from her own lips. Some things were better left unsaid , could do more harm then good. Noelle did not hide that she wasn't liked or that she preferred live humans and selling them for money.

" Yes we did have good times back then didn't we , I miss those days when the world could be ours for the taking as well as the seduction of the power. It was different times then though much as changed." Noelle knew better then to question that though or bring back up other darker times. While Noelle did not have a problem embracing the dark and walking that line , others tended to stay away from it and she could not fault them for that.

" I think a visit would be wonderful I know that we can stay at my old villa and enjoy everything we use to. I am sure that it has not changed that much. At least I can hope it has not. " A visit to her home would be a thing Noelle would embrace with open arms , having been away for so long. She often found herself looking back and wondering how much it truly changed in the time she had been away from it. They would just need to figure when the time to go and make sure unsuspecting eyes wouldn't find them. " We would just need to figure out when a good time would be for us. " As soon as they figured it out though her jet would be made ready and they would go and not worry or look back. It didn't matter how long they would be gone for , just taking it all in is what they would accomplish and enjoying new and old things.

Once those give words were spoken and lips touched her own Noelle would move them quickly to the bed and kiss her with all the passion and desire she had held back at the club. Her hands trailing down her sides as she felt herself lost in the bliss and passion. Her kisses heated and strong but unrelenting. Noelle would show Reminy all the passion she had forgotten and hopefully remember in days to come.

[REMINY ODESSA BARLOW]

Sometimes, her own weaknesses astounded her. Reminy had worked long and hard to get to a place where she could stand on her own two feet, take pride in what she had built, and be independent. When she first met Noelle all those years ago, independence was something that women barely even desired in their wildest dreams, and the fact that Noelle had seemed to accomplish it made Reminy lust after her and have aspirations to be just like her. In their years together, the younger vampire had learned that even her seemingly independent lover had shadows, and answered to that of her wicked Sire, Katherine. That knowledge had broken Reminy's spirit a bit, and while she didn't leave the woman's side until years later, and certainly didn't stop loving her or enjoying the time they spent together, she had been determined to do better for herself than Noelle had done. Almost like how a parent wishes better on their child than they accomplished themselves, Reminy set out to be ambitious and successful, and while it had taken her a while to build something great on her own, her late husband had always been supportive of her seeing her dreams come to fruition, and now she could stand alone as a respected businesswoman.

All these accomplishments, all that hard work, and one look from the Frenchwoman, and she was weak. Reminy couldn't resist her, and the memories they shared caused her chest to tighten and her desire to spike. From the beginning of the night, she had known this was a dangerous path she was walking. She had even tried to convince herself that she was walking it for a noble reason – saving a woman from her ex-lover's clutches, but even then when she lied to herself, she knew it was so much more than that. It was a weakness, and since she now had accepted it, she felt like she might as well stop fighting it. ”Good times would be a bit of an understatement, wouldn't you say?” Noelle spoke of the world being for their taking, and while Reminy smiled, she couldn't quite agree with the sentiment. After all, she hadn't much cared for the world, and while there were things outside of her relationship that were important, when she was much younger, all she had truly wanted was unending, unconditional love and attention from Noelle. Most of the time she had gotten it, but what had worn on her was the fact that she was beginning to lose respect for this woman who was so powerful, spoke so freely of taking from the world for herself and her own desires, and yet bowed to the whims of a cruel mistress in the same breath.

But she wasn't there for judgment, and she wasn't going back. Maybe for a night, but not for good, despite the fact that visiting the villa in France was certainly tempting. They had shared so many memories, held so much love for each other, and maybe a small part of her wanted to resurrect that, but she couldn't bring herself to jump in with both feet again. ”We'll have to see where time takes us, amour.” Of course she knew that Noelle would all but drop everything for a romantic excursion with her, and it was empowering and flattering, but likely impossible. ”Although at one point in our history, I do recall you having the ability to get me to follow you anywhere.” It was a true statement, if a little bit sad because of how much they had changed.

Reminy didn't want to be sad anymore. She didn't want to be caught up in how much they had changed since they parted ways, or how she sometimes looked upon the woman before her as a stranger now. What she wanted was to have her night of weakness, to take back something she lost, and enjoy herself. Noelle seemed to want that, too, and the way she kissed her made the younger vampire's entire body tingle with that familiar feeling of desire and longing. Even though she had changed, she knew without a shadow of a doubt that she had missed the way this woman could touch her and make her feel, so she returned the kiss with fervor, nearly begging Noelle to take her to bed.

Once they made it there, Reminy was lost, her mind a blur for the rest of the night, until her body was exhausted and the morning light hit them through the soft curtains of Noelle's bedroom. The brunette extracted herself from bed quietly as her lover slept, leaning over to kiss Noelle on the shoulder, a parting gesture of affection as she quietly started to change and get herself ready to leave once again.

[NOELLE LISETTE GRAY]

Noelle never thought that her life would bring her here to this moment, seeing Reminy again. Out of all of the possible outcomes , Remy back in her life in her home having a night of passion was not one of them. It had been hundreds of years since they last spoke so this was everything she could have hoped for and more. Although Noelle had no idea where this would lead them , she didn't want to look back or forward she just wanted to live in the now. The love she felt for Remy was there she was there with her , so it was time to embrace that and allow it too be. So tonight would be just pleasing emotions and remembering a time long since forgotten but also of embracing the future and not being afraid of what was too come. Noelle could hope that she ended up with Remy again. That would make her truly happy but she didn't know what would happen come morning. Smiling softly at her comments about having the power to make her follow her where she wished. That was a good time they had France at their fingertips and it brought them great pleasure and joy. Things that some people would never have in their life time.

" Yes we will see where it goes, since we have all the time no need to rush. Oh yes but as I remember you never had a problem with following me, we did have quite the adventures together full of passion and joy. " Those memories would be something Noelle would always hold dear and never forget. Her fingers would gently trail across Reminy cheek once more. Just taking in the feeling of her skin and the feel of her with her in person. People often took times like this for granted something that Noelle would never understand. Why would anyone ever want to take times like this for granted what would ever be the point of that. Oh well it didn't do much good to ponder on those thoughts now.

The night would lost in a passion of bliss and pleasure , no need to speak anymore after they made it too her bedroom. Times to talk about the past or how much was different was left at the door. Words were lost just their bodies and movements spoke for them. Sometime sit was easier that way , to numb whatever else you were feeling, it might not give you all the answers but at least it was something to help with the feelings that were deep in your gut. Who wanted to feel something if it could be wrong or hurt. Tonight was about feeling all the good things that they had and to just for a few moments not even think about the bad. Just to let it all be and then allow the morning to come and see what happened.

Eyes flashing open she would see Reminy already removed from her bed and getting dressed to go. A pang would be felt deep in Noelle's heart knowing that this was just a night that the thoughts of what could be were a pipe dream. With a few soft kisses good bye and emotionally filled words Reminy would slip out of her home until next they meet. Noelle would rise and jump into the shower and allow herself to get ready for the rest of her day. She had much to do and so little time to do it in , hearing that her friend Lillith was in town she would need to check on her and see how she was.
