Re: FIC: from among the dead, PG-13 (noir AU) no warnings (2/2)workerbee73August 19 2012, 21:41:33 UTC
Eighteenth century Russian. Brass overlaid with gold. Three rubies and three pearl drops to match and not at all the sort of jewelry a legal secretary could afford. Not the sort anyone could afford who didn’t filch it from a museum or have a wing named after them. He knew it well, had seen it grace the neck of a 19th century Russian princess in a portrait the likeness of which was burned into his brain.
He’s also seen it around the neck of a dead woman on the night they’d first met.
Natalie-Natalia-turned in his arms; she hadn’t noticed the subtle shift in his breathing, hadn’t noticed the hardness that crept into his eyes. “I do have you now, don’t I?” she asked, her voice searching and the tiniest bit hesitant. She didn’t give him a chance to answer, just captured his lips instead
