Bast's expression changed. It wasn't smug any longer. It was softer. He was still smiling, but he appeared to be THINKING about Jordan, and doing so seemed to bring some bit of serenity to him.

"Jordan... wonderful, perfect Jordan..." he said quietly, wistfully, trailing off at the end.

However, before she could think or say anything more, he continued.

"SHE will be my queen. My Platinum medal." he told Kaia.

"She will be at my side, as the one true special member." he went on, before looking back at Kaia, and smirking once more.

Sebastien just laughed out loud when he heard that.

"My parents!?" he exclaimed.

"Mother would be most ecstatic to see that I am embracing my heritage as a demon! And I am amassing a wonderous group of lovers for myself. Quite frankly, I do her line PROUD!" he declared.

"And my father? Pah!" he then said dismissively. "As a Nephilim, and as one in the illustrious line of Lilith, herself, I do not care what the lowly HUMANS think of me." he told her further.

"You can struggle all you wish, berate me while you still can." he then chuckled.

"For you are already mine." he finished, stepping up closer towards her.

Bast just gave her a cocky grin.

"You're strong." he said.

"But I'M stronger." he told her.

"And I know you can feel it. The desire. The thoughts that everything would be better if you just surrendered all independent thought and succumbed to my influence." he went on.

"I promise I'll take care of you." he then said.

"Just like I'm taking care of your sister." he added, gesturing to Kiah.

Bast was silent for a moment, looking her up and down, before nodding.

"She's in here." he said, opening the door a little more so she could come in.

Kaia rolled her eyes and stepped inside, and as soon as she did, she saw her sister sitting on the couch, looking distressingly obedient, as though waiting for orders from someone.

"What the FU-" she started to exclaim, before Bast whirled her around and planted a kiss on HER lips.

He'd caught Kiah, and now he was going for Kaia.

He didn't care at the moment.

Again, there was silence, before she heard some mild cursing, some footsteps, and then saw the door crack open, and Bast's VERY unimpressed face peer out of it, looking pointedly at her.

"Yes?" he asked curtly, before SEEING her.

And then smiling.

"Why, hello there." he greeted her, his tone now silken.

"Can I help you?" he asked her.

Jake laughed in response, before stopping and lightly clutching at his neck.

"Hurts to laugh..." he muttered.

"But yeah, I'll take care of myself." he told her.

"See you." he finished, before she was gone.

'...why didn't he answer...?' he then wondered. 'I was told she was there... hmmm.' he thought further.

"I really hope I'm just being paranoid..."

Jake merely sighed in response.

"Long story short, I was attacked." he told her.

"Ended up getting choked to the point of nearly blacking out." he went on.

"I'm already fine, expected to make a full recovery, but my throat and vocal chords will be fucked for a week more or so." he explained further, shaking his head slightly afterwards.

"I just sound worse than I am." he assured her, buzzing her through.

Jake looked at her, and nodded.

"Here." he replied, his voice a little hoarse. He'd recovered from Cameron's attack, but he wasn't 100%. Cameron had nearly choked him to death, and his voice indicated it.

But he was overall fine.

He darted his tongue out, before paging R&D, getting Ilias, and being told that she wasn't there, and had been called to Sebastien's office. Jake then paged Sebastien, but there was no answer.

"...odd..." he mumbled.

"You know where it is?" he asked the woman. "I can buzz you in and you can head there yourself if you like."

Bast could only smile at her.

"The lizard doesn't deserve you." he told the Fyrane-Remmington.

"You deserve to be with a higher class of individual." he said to her further.

"You deserve to be MINE." he stated, closing the distance a little.

"And you KNOW you're liking that prospect right now."

Bast just grinned at her in response.

"You don't want to do that." he said.

"Going to Sharp would not be something you'd want to do." he told her.

Then, he brought his face right up to hers and planted a kiss right on her lips, much like he'd done with Hazel.

Bast responded by suddenly grabbing her wrist and pulling her into his office, half-spinning her so that she ended up with his arm around her waist by the end,

"Not yet." he said, his eyes glowing.

"You really must stay." he told her.

"If just a moment longer."

He opened the door.

"Hello, Kiah." he greeted her.

"Come in." he said.

"Please." he said further.

"Hmmm." Bast mumbled.

"You said she was working late tonight." he told her.

"Let's wait until most of the others that work in R&D have left." he suggested.

"Try and get this done with as few witnesses as possible." he reasoned.

"In the meantime... let's enjoy each other's company until then."

"..." Bast was silent for a moment.

"Make sure Ilias doesn't interfere." he said.

"...don't kill him. But do anything else to make sure he doesn't interfere with my acquisition of Kiah." he told her further.

"And DO try your hardest to not hurt Kiah." he then added.

"After all... I don't wish to harm any of my women."
