It was a cool night and Lucas tried to avoid any apprehension at what he was about to do, as he waited in the parking lot of the Bizi Motel. His motorcycle ignition had been cut, along with the lights, so that he would not be easily seen in the corner that he inhabited. Keys to one of the motel's bottom floor rooms rested in his pocket. A gut feeling stayed with him that he could not deny. The gut feeling that made what he would do that night wrong, whether it was in the best interests of the race or not. 'Just make enough, that's all you've got to do and then you're done,' he told himself, and it made enough sense for him to rationalize things.
Lucas put his cigarette out as a small, red sports car pulled into the parking lot and cut its headlights early. Someone was being inconspicuous. He fingered the hilt of his black handgun under his coat as he watched the car pull into a spot nearer to the shadows where he dwelled. Had she brought reinforcements? It would have been smart to, given the circumstances, but his email had made the meeting sound important so that she would avoid bringing excess baggage that might claim her prize and beat her to the bosses. Ambitious. He could respect that. A blonde eased herself out of the driver's side and he noted her mannerisms. More often than not, one would look towards any help they had coming or with them, but she simply looked around the parking lot with a wary gaze, as if searching. It would be best if he weren't seen when it happened.
She sat on the hood of her car, rubbed her hands together and slid a shapely, skirt-clad bottom against the hood's warmth as she took out a cigarette and lit it. His eyes were drawn down her slender form as her legs crossed at the knee and she settled in to await her meeting. He was beside her on the hood of the car before she'd ever seen him coming.
"Bum a light?" He said, his voice echoing a thousand times in a second and then abruptly ending as he watched her jump with a start and then that slow glaze of her eyes as she dug into her cashmere jacket and fetched him a lighter. "Who are you coming here to meet?" He continued...his voice low, guttural...the sort of sound that one might expect to hear from a heavy metal song whilst on acid and playing the record backwards. She shook her head, as if to deny him the answer and then looked down reverently as pale lips responded.
"O'Reilly," she replied. O'Reilly had been the one emailing her. It was perfect, he thought...absolutely perfect. "He was supposed to be here to give me something important for the boss."
He gave a nod as she spoke, not that she would have noticed in her state with those dark, glazed eyes creeping back up to view him with a sort of awe that even such an attractive woman couldn't hide. Lucas slipped off of the car and took a drag of his cigarette, his eyes traveling the length of her, from her dark blue eyes down to a black, lace top and further still to the small skirt she wore and the stilettos that rested on the front bumper of her car. He spoke with soft tendrils of smoke easing outward from his lips as he gave a short survey of the parking lot. "Plans have changed. You're coming to my room with me. We're going to have a little fun. Interested?" It was key to add a touch of choice to his words. It helped break down those gut instincts to do just exactly the opposite of what one was told to do...a primal characteristic that, he was sure, a fighter of her caliber understood.
She gave a slow nod as she watched him smoke his cigarette with a hungry stare, a touch of her own voice responding where only droning, obedient tones had been previously. "Sure, sexy...You're on." He smirked at the response and chuckled softly, nodding his head towards the room he'd chosen at the far corner of the parking lot and then turned on a heel towards it...his feet carrying him towards the portal without a need to look back. She was coming.
He sat on the bed and watched her enter the room, his command to close and lock the door behind her being followed without a second thought as she tilted her frame to either side and removed her high heels and then her jacket. With a languid motion, Lucas fingered the air and beckoned her to him as he leaned back on the bed and undressed her with a cat-like stare. His fingers splayed beneath locked elbows on the firm mattress. She eased towards him, those tiny flecks of uncertainty entering her gaze for a moment and a look of fear following suit that prompted him to speak once more as he shifted on the bed and made himself more comfortable. "Do you enjoy sex, Natalia?" His question was a simple one. As the woman with hair like plated gold slipped down to her knees between his legs, gloved fingers sliding up his jeans and wrinkling the fabric in a ripple before her touch, she gave another confused expression. Her eyes darted down to her hands as if she weren't controlling them. She wasn't. Her voice responded with that same confusion mingling with the words.
