The hall smelt of expensive fresheners like the fine carpets were freshly cleaned. Many different portraits of art hung from the walls along with other decorative ornamentations. Keeping golden eyes mildly entertained as their owner walked to his room. A small sigh escaped plump lips. His fingers rubbed idly at the fabric from inside his pants pockets as he walked.

He smashed his lids hard over his eyes. The smell giving him a headache. He brought a moist hand to pinch the brim of his nose as he walked silently. He sighed for a second time and lowered his hand back to his side.

" 1,847... 1,848... 1,849...-

He mumbled to himself as he neared his destination. Stopping in front of a beautifully chiseled oak door.

"...and 1,850."

He slid his hand free from the deep pocket. Clutching the golden key in a sweaty palm. He arranged the small key in his hand with the "pin" facing outward in front of him and slipped it into the doors key hole. He then turned it slowly to unlock it with a low "click". He carefully opened the thick door. Pushing it to swing open then stepped inside. The oiled hinges were silent. A soft thud sounded after the handle hit the wall walked inside closing the door behind him. He reached for the light switch when he was stopped by long lean arms being wrapped around his neck. He held in a surprised gasp as he jerked back a step reaching to his hip. Where a 44 magnum rest hidden under his shirt.

"Shhhh..."

Rosy lips shushed softly as they brushed closely to his sensitive ear. His person relaxed under the familiar body pressed close to him and the soft lips that delicately placed soft moist kisses at his collar bone. He kept silent. Enjoying the small welcoming. The kisses trailed up his thick neck as delicate hands pressed and gripped the front of his shirt. She leaned her slender body heavily onto his toned one as she tipped toed to reach his lips. His hands found there way to rest firmly on her hips pulling her closer. She planted a small kiss on his bottom lip, sucking it there until he finally wrapped his mouth around her own. He passionately kissed her for small moment before she pulled away. Slightly breathless he looked down at the thin figure still hidden from the dark. Then smirked.

"Do you welcome every guest this way, Rhode?

A faint light chuckle sounded by his chest as he felt himself being pushed gently back a few steps. He bumped into what felt like a bed base. He smiled at the thought.

"When their only as sexy as you are." He could hear the smile in her voice.

"Well, thats good since theres no one comparable to myself."

She chuckled as she pressed kisses to his now bare chest. He removed a hand from her waist to feel behind him. When he felt the smooth satan blanket beneath his hand, he sat himself down onto the soft mattress. Pulling her up by the waist to straddle him. He then realized she only wore a soft towel around her thin body. A soft groan purred in his throat. He slid his hands down the tender skin of her thighs. The moon light shone through the small crack of the large curtains. Making her beautiful features a little more visible. Her wet hair dripped cold droplets onto his heated skin. Sensitive nerves tingling through his body.

"Actually, The life guard thats on duty right now is very...interesting." She purred. Undoing the last of the buttons on his shirt.

He scoffed at the ridicules thought and felt the moist towel fall from her form to the floor. He swallowed as she brushed his shirt to the sides to reveal his toned chest. He felt himself being pushed gently down onto the bed as she lowered herself onto him.

"You wouldn't happen to be attempting to make me jealous now would you?"

She licked her lips and thought for a moment. "And what if I am?"

He lifted his neck to kiss the tongue that was resting on her lip. "Its not working."

She chuckled as their lips met once again. Tasting each others sweet flavor.

"Actually, The boy at the counter was cute as well. Hmmm?" She asked more as a question then a simple statement. He furrowed his brow, confused.

"The red headed kid?" He asked.

"Emhmm, So you noticed too?"

He frowned. "No, Its just thats who was there when I checked in." He explained.

"Well, he's cute?" She asked him again.

He swallowed, baffled by her random questions. "If you think so, love." He said awkwardly.

"Well, he's your target so better start getting used to him." She giggled. Tracing the shadows on his chest.

His eyes narrowed, then relaxed. Releasing a long dramatic sigh. "Oh dear and here I thought it was the last I was going to see the child. Oops." He chewed on his cheek.

"Tyki," She sighed. An edge to her voice. "What did you do?"

He chuckled and caressed the deep curve of her lower back. "Nothing I can't fix." He winked.

Before she could say another word he spoke up. "So were married are we?" He smiled.

Her face bloomed red. She was grateful for the dim room.

"Well," She laughed nervously. "The Earl wanted the boy to assume were close. So you don't come off as some player. To make him want you more. I guess its the same thing as 'You want what you cant have' scenario. I don't know why. He was sure about it though." She bit her lip.

Tyki chuckled, noticing the nervous tone that laced her voice. "Im just messing with you, my dear."

She let go of a sigh not realizing she was holding it. She gasped as he cupped a hand behind her head. Pulling her into an open mouth could talk later. He had plenty of time for work tomorrow. Right now all he wanted to do was have a little fun. And maybe dread the quickly coming day a little less.

Rhode watched the slow rise and fall of the sleeping mans bare chest in the moonlight. She shifted in her spot getting comfy in the crook of his arm. She lightly tugged the blanket to her naked shoulder. Exhaling deeply from the warmth. She liked moments like this. They didn't happen much, so when she got the chance She soaked it all in. Knowing she could get his attention any time she wanted. All it took was a little flirting, innocent touching, or a fitted outfit that showed off her curves. but it was that way for anyone he was attracted to. Her skin crawled at the thought. She laid her arm on his flat stomach. Her index finger making rings around his navel as she snuggled into him. All she wanted, was what she couldn't get. What she truly desired...

She looked up at the mans strained features. Wondering how one could sleep and still be so tense. She lifted the lithe hand from his stomach to brush a curl behind his ear. Thin fingers tracing the rim of his brow down to his cheek bone. Caressing his soft tan skin. He was very handsome. A small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. When he lightly swatted at her hand and grumbled something she couldn't make out. She lowered her hand to his warm chest. Then sighed. Maybe she could think of a plan for tomorrow. To help Tyki out. She mused, but her thoughts kept straying off.

ONE WEEK EARLIER

The soft, hazy, lights were dim in the large bar. Live music was playing loud and slightly out of tune. The air was thick with cigaret smoke and the bitter smell of booze. Rhode walked carefully through the usual thick crowed of unsteady people. She couldn't help but wonder why someone would spend their saturday nights drinking their life away. She pursed full lips as she side stepped the bodies to the long counter where they served drinks. She sat in one of the swivel chairs. Ignoring the filth that she was placing her body on. She wrinkled her nose and looked to the handsome man she sat next to. He rested on his elbow on the counter. Cheek against his fist. Holding his head up. He balanced his drink in between his fourth finger and thumb as he swirled the stale liquor in the small shot glass. His kinky raven hair was askew. His shirt slightly unbuttoned and untucked. Hazy golden eyes glazed over, staring off into space. She watched him. Not bothering to keep it subtle.

"Its rude to stare, my dear." He slurred, not turning to look at her.

She pursed her lips and swallowed. Folding her hands neatly in her lap.

When she remained quiet. He straightened the best he could then turned his head to look her in the eyes. He gave her a once over. Raising a brow of approval. His eyes dull from to many drinks, but still focused enough to be in right mind.

"But its, okay. When your as lovely as your self, 'Signora'." He smirked.

She smiled as he tipped the bitter liquid in to his mouth. Laying the empty glass aside. He cleared his throat and sighed.

She leaned on the counter and tilted her head in her hand. "Tyki, your drunk." She giggled.

He furrowed his brow then smiled a toothy grin. "I never get drunk. I couldn't tell you a time I have gotten drunk." He slured.

"That you remember." She finished his sentence. She puckered out her bottom lip and rolled her eyes, playfully.

"Hmm..." He pondered.

"She smiled with an eye brow raised. "You look horrible."

He turned his golden eyes to her. "I have no idea what you mean." He smiled.

She tried to keep from smiling. They both went silent for a few seconds. He looked down at his empty glass then flagged the waiter over.

"Refill and a milk for the little one." He jerked his thumb to an upset Rhode.

"Tyki! Im 21 not 12." She grumbled. She pulled out her license then ordered a beer.

The waiter grabbed a beer from the cooler, removed the lid then laid it in front of her. He then filled Tykis small glass with vodka before leaving.

"So,-" He drawled. "Miss. i'm 21, why are you here." He smiled.

She lowered the drink from her mouth and licked her tangerine lips."Can a girl not come and see her favorite man anymore?" She teased.

He frowned. "I suppose-" he averted his gaze to her and smiled a lopsided smile. He noticed the strap from her blouse had fallen from her shoulder. "But I know better." He reached out and pulled the strap back onto her shoulder. He held it there for a moment then pulled the strap back off. Smiling with a burn in his eyes.

She smiled. Noticing the familiar look. "You caught me." She licked her bottom lip.

He smiled then leaned back to his side. "Well?"

She instantly frowned." Ugh, Tyki..." She pouted. She could hear him chuckle. She sighed and looked at him.

"Fine. The Earl has a job for you." She puffed.

"And what does the fat cat want from me?" He sipped at his tiny drink.

She sighed. "Lulubell found him." She said seriously.

He laid his empty glass down. Staring at it in his hands. Then looked to the girl, confused.

"...Him?"

"Uhggg! Tyki!" She moaned.

"What!?" He held up a hand. Trying to calm her. "I know a lot of hims!"

She rolled her eyes. "HIM as in the man who backstabbed, robbed, and almost destroyed our boss. THAT him!"

He made a thinking face then a light bulb clicked on. "Ohhh, yes. I remember that him." He smiled.

"Yes, well, anyway, Lulubell found him in America. Going under the name of "Bookman". He had gotten into the hotel business. Apparently he was very successful because he now owns 20, 5 star luxury hotel suites or some crap like that. Oh and he adopted some kid named Lavi." She bit her lip. Bored from explaining. "Master Earl had Lulubell get a hold of me since she couldn't find you. I mean really Tyki? Could you at least think about getting a phone?"

He seemed lost in thought or perhaps ignoring her last question. "So, again, why me?" He asked. with a tired sigh.

" Master thinks we make a good team and the others are busy with there work. Oh and he needs you to..-" She thought for a good word usage. "...he needs you to seduce the Bookmans homosexual son." She chuckled.

He frowned.

"Oh, Tyki, dont make that face. Its not like you haven't done it before."

He waved the waiter over. "Refill." He demanded.

She giggled. "Come on. Look on the bright side. At least we get to work together on this."

He downed another drink. "Why? So I can have someone hold a bottle of lotion as I work." He choked.

She made a face. "Really, Tyki?...You had to say that?" Her nose wrinkled.

He rubbed his eyes, irritated. "Sorry..., Its just..ughhh..." He moaned. "Its just...Were the hell is that waiter!?" He slammed a fist on the counter making his cup fall over.

She giggled uncontrollably. "Tyki, your over reacting. You never know. Maybe you wont have to go that far...again."

He grunted as he picked his little glass back up.

She bit her lip trying to keep from smiling. "And does it really mater. You've been with some very questionable women before. Just put a skirt on 'em if it comes down to it." She snorted.

He scoffed. "Watch him be like some giant Sasquatch..." He grumbled.

She giggled. "Ooooo What,..what if..you know...he likes doing...you know..." She burst out laughing. Not being able to control it any more.

He paled. "Then I will have to politely resign." He stood laying a few bills on the counter before he walked off. With a hysterical Rhode following behind him, happily.

BACK TO THE PRESENT

She smiled as she tried to keep from giggling. She closed her eyes enjoying the comfortable warmth that surrounded her body and heart. She'll please Tyki. She'll make him see that she is worthy for him. She had to.

She opened her eyes sadly. Looking to the handsome sleeping face once more.

"Sleep well, Tyki."

Hey yall! I'm so happy and thankful for the comments, follows, and faves last week. Thank you! I noticed I didn't really point out some things so... None of the characters have their powers. Their every day people. The Noah clan are normal too and they still work for the Earl. But their more as...uh? His slaves... You'll find out eventually. AND NO ONE IS RELATED! Tyki and Rhode are not related will all be mostly set in the hotel. Maybe... If you have any questions that I failed to point out just message me! Oh and if something seems off with any up coming chapters let me know. Because at first the story had a whole different plot and it was awful so I changed it. I hate rereading through it, but I do and sometimes I miss a few things...ahem...

This one was kind of a filler on Tyki and Roads story. But next chappie has a wee bit of Lucky. So stay tuned. Oh and Kanda is in it! yay!

Plus excuse my Grammar. I know I suck. Sorry...

Any who, I hope you liked! And if you could, pleeeeaaassseee comment! You have no idea how motivated I am when I know people out there are actually reading ..pwetty pwease? :puppy dog eyes:

Thanks again! Stay tuned next Friday!
