Personal circumstances have, for once, given me good reason to slow down. But to the contrary, I enjoy writing more than ever.
Thanks, Rumpole, for glancing over this and supplying wise adjustments.
This is fun. Thanks again, readers. X

Pretty lips pursed into a ferocious pout, Layla sat in the Oxmobile with her arms and legs crossed, glaring out the window as though the view offended her.
What was most offensive was that she couldn't see a damned thing. The dark outside was a fast blur of nothing. All she could really see was the interior reflection, Truce often glancing her way, his teeth flashing in a triumphant grin she wanted to shatter with a hard punch.
Still, she stared out the window with a riveted fascination because there was no alternative.
After the call with her father, Truce was satisfied enough not to tease her. After a time hurtling down a seemingly endless black tunnel, the car finally slowed to a seamless stop.
"What a fucking night!" Truce remarked, deeply pleased. Stopping the engine with the gentle push of a button, he unlatched the piece connecting his mask to the body armour and peeled the Oxmask away.
Layla's sullen stare cut to him, the handsome, carefree sight of the great Oxman only spiking her temper. His dark hair was ruffled, jutting about in shiny tufts like after-sex bed hair. For a brooding crime fighter, he appeared annoyingly upbeat, smiling at her with an almost boyish exuberance. Then again, he'd finally caught her, and the challenge for him was no secret.
Layla huffed and turned away. Before she was ready, he was out of the car and the passenger door clicked open, noiselessly sliding upward. When she stared ahead resolutely, Truce laughed.
"You know, this silent treatment isn't going to last. Not one bit. You're too sassy."
"Fuck you."
"There it is." Still grinning, Truce crossed his arms over the gleaming, matte leather coating his chest. "Believe it or not, my cock is hard, and my heart is racing."
"Go fuck Ralphred," Layla sneered.
Truce's large frame shifted and he uncrossed his arms to lean against the extended passenger door, aroused by her attitude. "I'm going to fuck that sassy mouth of yours."
Layla snorted disdainfully. "Good luck with that."
"Don't need luck." Truce's grin didn't waver, but his gloved fingers began to drum against the car. "Now are you going to step out, or do I get the pleasure of carrying you?"
Paranoid, Layla peeked up at him, arms still crossed. She felt recklessly stubborn, digging herself a hole when she knew there was no way out. Like those dire situations when the disadvantaged party is offered a lifeline, and they rudely tell the lifeline to get fucked.
She knew he was being civil when he didn't have to; that it would be better, more dignified if she cooperated. Truce was generally a gentleman, until he wasn't. Layla knew if she was a good girl, accepted her defeat with grace, timidly wriggled into his bed and let him rock her world, she could probably evade the dungeon.
But she was too angry to consider what was good for her, if it meant swallowing her pride. She couldn't help being a sore loser, because the whole thing was freaking unfair. Fuck him. She would rather make things more difficult for herself, than easy for him.
"I'm not getting out!" she snapped venomously, the green of her eyes sharp with anger.
Truce's smile widened and he pulled off his gloves. "Good."
He leaned into the car as Layla shrank back, preparing to kick him, grimacing at the gooey spunk sliding between her thighs with the movement, sticky on her silky folds. The rip in her pants tore wider, Truce's cum slick on her recently fucked naughty parts. Just thinking about it made the area tingle, and Layla's rage mounted.
"I'll tell my dad everything!" she threatened as a last resort, the worst kind of bluff; a bald-faced lie.
Truce's cocky grin disappeared, and he hovered, resting his forearms on the roof of the car and peering interestedly at her flushed face. "You'll tell him what, exactly?"
Spurred by his pause, Layla began to ramble. "I'll tell him you attacked me! That you're a molester! You forced yourself on me, and that you...you..."
Truce's mouth fell ajar with amazement, his eyes deeply amused. "You're going to give him all the details? Can I be there to see the look on his face?"
Layla slumped into the seat when Truce threw back his head with a delighted laugh.
"Kitty, are you
trying
to turn me on? At this rate I'll cum in my pants before I can play with you." Still chuckling, he ran a hand through his hair and then slammed it back to the roof, signalling his impatience. The car didn't budge but the sound was startling. Layla jumped.
"I'm going to tell you some hard truths, Layla," he murmured, his dark eyes suddenly intense on her heated face. "You can come inside and let me romance you; we'll make love. Or I can carry you in causing whatever scene you want to display, and make you pay for it." He let that sink in.
"But whatever I do, everything I do, you're going to enjoy it. You're going to like it. Because as much as you say you hate me, I don't buy it."
Layla rolled her eyes with a disgusted sound to suggest he was insane. Observing her silent denial, Truce's lips curled to a small perceptive smile. "You desire me so much, you have no control over it. You can't even conceal it. You're hot for me, when you don't want to be. That's a fucking powerful thing, Layla."
Layla's fingers curled and twitched, itching to scratch his eyes out. Reigning in her temper, she tossed her head in a 'blah, blah, blah' gesture.
"I know you have a huge ego, being Oxman, and all," she drawled in her best bored and unimpressed tone, except her cheeks were angrily pink. "But you're seriously barking up the wrong tree."
"Am I?" Truce cockily replied. When she glared at him, Truce leaned into the passenger door, his tone tuned intimate.
"I can smell it in the air between us," he murmured with revolting confidence. "I can taste it on you. The first time I took you, I knew your tasty little puss was drenched before I even flipped your dress up. Tonight, I could feel your cunt pulsing for me before I even opened your suit. You were so wet when I fingered you, my fingers pruned..."
"Is this a tactic to get me out of the car?" Layla snapped, reaching her limit for confronting truths. "Talk disgusting until I can't take it anymore?"
