Dante's POV

"Go after the goons! I'll get Nightshade." I ran into the alleyway where the green and black clad lady went. I looked around. Could she have gone up to the roofs? I flew up to the nearest roof and landed. She was just standing and smiling, no smirking.

"Did the Puppy try to follow again?" She meant Lok.

"Nightshade, he's supposed to help me." I explained.

"I don't see how tripping on the whiny one is helping." She stepped forward lazily.

"That was an accident." I readied myself for a fight.

"Well, it's time for the grown-ups to talk, don't you think?" She purred, shooting a poisonous plasma blast at me. I dodged and shot a quick fireball at the next one.

She attempted to hit a few more times with her poison plasma, but I was faster and ready for them. They hurt a lot. She abandoned that plan and decided for a more physical approach. She landed a punch to my gut. I stumbled a bit. She didn't get a chance to try again because I recovered and blocked her kick. She grunted as she felt my burning hand gripping her leg and tossing her aside. She hit a wall of the roof access then the ground next to it. I went to tie her up quickly, but she knocked me to the ground and got on top of me, pinning my arms and legs down.

"I'm not letting you take those jewels." I said with a tint of determination.

"I know. That's what makes it fun." She flashed a sexy smile.

I attempted to fly, but she drove her nails into my arms and I lost focus. It's different when something or someone knows how hard to take off while being hurt is. I landed with a cloud of dust and a soft thud.

"You're not getting away so easily now, handsome." She told me.

"I'm glad you can appreciate the view." I answered.

"I bet not many people see you like this. So vulnerable, so desirable. I like that." She whispered in my ear then kissed a trail from my cheek to my lips. She was rough and passionate.

I tried to move my head, but she would follow. Her body was on mine and it felt good. So good. I felt her hand in my hair, trying to keep me facing her. At the same time, her other hand wandered around my chest and abs. I tried to take control of the kiss, but she wouldn't let me and made me arch my back to keep in contact with her. She broke the kiss to nibble on my jawline and neck then let me take charge. I flipped her over so I was on top. Then I teased her by kissing around her lips before kissing her on the mouth. She was leaving marks on my back now and I was holding her head. I heard her moan a little. I wanted to hear it again. I felt her move to get more comfortable and then I started kissing down her neck.

"Not yet." She panted and made our lips realign. We kissed deeply and I heard that moan again. It was glorious. I felt her push away after a couple minutes. I stopped kissing her and let her up.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, handsome. I just didn't want to get interrupted before we got too much further. You know, sidekicks and all." She smoothed her dark blue hair down.

"I see," I got up and offered her a hand. She got up on her own and started toward the jewels she stole. I wrapped my arms around her torso and dragged her farther away from them, "I told you I'm not letting you take those."

"I'm gonna turn you one of these days and we'll have a great time." She turned to face me and stole a quick kiss. Then she broke free and jumped to another roof, not taking the jewels with her. I frowned and took the bag back to the store.
