Say Uncle - A Danny Phantom-verse Fic
Sleep Well?
“Roslynne,” Vlad purred as he ran his thumb over her lips, “what’s holding you back?”
Roz’s eyes shot open as her dream quickly ended. She looked around for a second, panicked, and then remembered where she was. No doubt she would dream about Vlad. It was a different kind of day for her. But, what exactly was she dreaming about?
She was now wide awake, but her clock told her it was only a few minutes past three.
The cold air made her snuggle deeper into her bed. She closed her eyes trying to go back to sleep, hoping the dream wouldn’t keep her awake.
The next morning Roz sat slumped in her chair at the dining table. She yawned repeatedly.
“Sleep well?” Vlad asked her as he came into the room.
He sipped at his coffee as he sat down opposite her and unfolded the paper. Unsurprisingly, he was already well dressed for the day. Black slacks topped off with a dark gray shirt and deep red vest.
“It could have been better,” Roz replied, straightening her posture.
Vlad looked at her over the edge of the paper. “You’re not ready to go back home, are you?”
“Not a chance,” she laughed as she looked back at him. The quick creasing of his eyes told her he flashed a smile behind the paper. “I just had a strange dream is all.”
“What about?”
Roz stared at him as he continued to read the paper. “I don’t remember it now,” she lied. “It’s annoying when that happens.”
Vlad didn’t need to know he was the subject of her dream, especially when it involved whatever it was that happened.
‘Very,” Vlad commented simply as he put down the paper. “I’m on vacation right now, by the way. I’m all yours for now.”
Roz paused before she could reply. She hadn’t actually thought about what she would do once she got here. She shared this with Vlad.
“Oh, Roslynne, how flattering,” he said in a mock tone as he touched his heart. “I didn’t know you missed me that much. I am going golfing later,” he continued over Roz’s laugh. “Want to give it a try?”
“Are you serious?” Vlad asked, laughing. “That’s your stance?”
“I’ve never played before,” Roz shot back while trying to restrain a laugh of her own.
“Here,” said Vlad as he came up behind her. He reached around Roz to get her into position, putting his hands over hers. Roz couldn’t help but breath in his scent. It was very alluring. He moved one of her hands lower along the club and he tapped at her feet.
“Your legs are too close together, and you may want to bend your knees just a bit.”
Roz awkwardly spread her feet apart, while Vlad’s set just outside hers. Her weight shifted as he moved her through a proper swing. Vlad gently stepped away from her as he watched the ball fly through the air.
“And there you have it,” Vlad said as the ball landed in the green.
Roz however did not bother to follow the ball. A breeze left her now uncovered body cold.
