The click of the door unlocking seemed as loud as a gunshot in the silent hotel hallway, even the grating of the key's teeth in the lock seemed deafening to Gojyo as he pulled the key from the lock and quietly turned the knob. It was only a few hours from dawn and he was dog tired. The bird he was with tonight had been completely insatiable! He grinned to himself as he made his way through the darkened room to his bed.
He spared a glance at the other occupant of the room, who was sleeping on his side, with his hand wrapped around that bloody gun of his that was tucked under his pillow. Damn, didn't Sanzo ever relax? Gojyo had yet to see the monk act even halfway like a normal human or even a mortal man at that. Gojyo shook his head in dismay at the lost fun Sanzo could have if he would just loosen up! The ladies would be all over that blonde.
Frowning, Gojyo thought about that fact for a second. The ladies would be all over Blondie boy. Gojyo shook his head, nuh-uh, not on Mr. Sha Gojyo's watch! If the ladies were itchin' to get into ivory robes and the monk was letting them, who did that leave for Gojyo? No one, that's who. No, its better that Sanzo stay his normal, uptight, aloof self…and leave the ladies for the man who could handle 'em.
Once again grinning to himself, Gojyo stealthily walked to the adjacent bathroom to brush his teeth and clean up after a long night out. After, he walked back to his bed, casually stripping off different articles of clothing along the way. Once by his bed, only his jeans remained. He methodically began cleaning out his pockets and putting their contents on top of the nightstand by his bed. He had lost too many favorite lighters, random paper bills of money, and mementos from ladies to Hakkai's unpredictable laundry cycle. So Gojyo had learned to always clean out his pockets at the end of the day. Tonight's contents included his prized Zippo, wallet, random change, the inevitable pocket lint, and two blue pills. It took him a moment to remember what those pills were from and then it dawned on him. Ecstasy.
The company he'd had tonight had given these to him in the urge to get him to take them. He grinned lecherously as he lay down in bed and replayed the night's activities in his head.
The woman had broken the prolonged kiss with a not-so-gentle tug on Gojyo's lower lip. They had finished off a few bottles of wine and Gojyo's cheekbones were warm with the blush of a fine Riesling and even more with the anticipation of a warm and willing woman for the night.
"Where you goin, sugar?" He drawled lazily, lying back on the bed with his hands behind his head. His shirt had long since been discarded on the floor and around the candlelight cast his already tanned skin in a golden hue. With smoldering eyes he watched as she got up from the bed and went to her purse.
"It's a little late for checking on your make-up." He commented as his eyes roamed her lithe form. She was on the shorter side, only about five foot and a few inches. She had cropped black hair that ended at her jaw line and framed bewitching green eyes and a luscious mouth. She wasn't heavily endowed, but had enough curves to keep his palms itching to run over every one of them. Her name escaped him at the moment…he thought it started with a K…Katra. That's it. His little Kat for the evening. He smiled.
Her brows were furrowed in thought as she dug through her small clutch purse. She was biting on her lower lip as she muttered to herself. "They're in here somewhere." She seemed agitated.
"What are you lookin for? If it's a condom, I have a few myself." Gojyo began to reach for his wallet in his back pocket.
"No! It's not that. Ah! There they are!" She withdrew a small baggie that fit into her palm. Her interest in the purse done, she tossed it on the floor without a care. She climbed back into the bed on all fours, giving Gojyo a wonderful look of her décolletage that was nicely displayed by a low cut push-up black bra. Her shirt too, had ended up on the floor right next to his. He reached once more for her as she came up to him.
It surprised him when she placed the small baggie in his hand instead. Quizzically he looked down at it and saw the two blue pills. "What are these?"
She grinned and licked her lips, "Pure Ecstasy. They cost me a bleedin' fortune, and I was savin' them fer the right bloke to come along. I think yer the one to take me on a ride we both won't forget."
Gojyo understood what they were then. She wasn't describing the drug, she had named it outright. He looked at her to find she was quite serious in using them… and it looked like she'd used that line before. No doubt she was a dealer and was used to getting gents hooked with a free trial, then when they came crawling back to her for another hit, another taste of her charms she would bleed them dry of everything they had. Well that wouldn't work on him! He summoned an indulgent grin and placed his hand over the baggie in her hand. He leaned forward as he cupped the back of her neck to bring her face closer to his. He found the sensitive area just under her left earlobe and nuzzled it gently. He had the satisfaction of hearing her whimper.
"A woman like you shouldn't need enhancements, just as a man with my skill abhors using them. They are the coward's way out, and tonight I will show you the difference." He rumbled the words low in his chest in order to make her sensitive ears that much more so to his meaning in his words.
She was quaking with awareness of him after that statement. He now moved to nibble down her slender, delicate throat, and when she was distracted, he palmed the baggie and slipped it in his pocket and proceeded to prove to her how right his words were.
Back in the present, the darkened hotel room was just beginning to get a grayish tinge with the onset of the sunrise. Gojyo fell asleep with a smirk on his face as he was sprawled across his bed, legs tangled in the covers. As the sun progressed in its trek into the morning sky, the sunlight flooded through the blinds across the window to glint off the change, Gojyo's Zippo, and bathed the baggie with the two blue pills in a halo of light.
