Cossette was caught by surprise when her suitor pinned her to the bed, smelling only faintly of the roses found in such abundance around the mannor. This was not surprising in the least. Nobody could go anywhere in Vlad's home without being drenched in the scent. She vaguely recalled him mentioning this being his 'signature' or what not in a few conversations she didn't pay much attention to. (How funny that she could pay attention when money or high stakes were involved, but simple conversation was beyond her meager grasp.) No doubt he'd be furious if he knew where she was now, what she was doing. That reoccuring thought, that subtle and often ignored jab from her subconcious to be wary of overstaying her welcome, was exactly what made this situation all the more thrilling. During that moment of silence, of being pinned there while he simply watched her from beneath his mask, she tensed up in anticipation. That feeling did not fade in the least when he finally decided to speak. "That depends on what you mean." she replied coyly, wondering if this 'surprise' was just playful foreplay or if it had a more significant meaning behind it. With the way her life was, the word 'surprise' didn't often have a pleasant meaning behind it. Nevertheless, she was aware that this was not the case for everyone.
