Interlude 08.
"The Illustrated Woman"

The Living Realm, Karakura City...

"I told you, I'd be paying you a visit."

Those were the first words she'd spoken to him. As soon as Chad stepped into his bedroom, he'd been greeted by the sight of the woman, sitting in the open window.

She was nestled there, in the window, one boot-clad foot resting on the floor of the room and the other one- bent at the knee- perched upon the base of the sill. There was a glint in her dark green eyes as she looked his way, before hopping off of her seat, and onto the carpeted floor.

"W- what are you doing here?" The dark-skinned youth asked cautiously after a moment, unwilling to let his guard down as the tattooed leather-clad woman approached him.

Jinx smiled seductively. "I'd think the answer to that question was obvious..." She began, her tone low and sultry, reaching out and capturing his hand before he had time to react. "Don't you get it, Chad, I'm here for you." The woman went on, gazing into his dark eyes as she held his hand in a tight grip, while her other hand moved to the top of her black leather vest...

"Wha- Wait!" Chad protested, his eyes going wide in surprise as she gripped the zipper tab and started to draw it down, revealing the valley of her cleavage that lay beneath it.

The vest parted like the Red Sea, revealing a pair of decent-sized breasts, the creamy skin of the fleshy twin globes capped by a pair of dark reddish-pink nipples. He was momentarily surprised that the dark buds weren't pierced, such that the woman before him was able to effortlessly plant his hand upon one her breasts, the supple flesh seemingly molding instantly against his touch.

Forgoing any preamble, Jinx leaned in and kissed him- aggressively- on the lips. With Chad's mouth now captive, the swarthy young man groaned faintly when he felt the interloping female's tongue as it forced its way past his lips, invading his mouth and wrestling with his own.

After a moment, she drew back. "You can't tell me you didn't expect this." Jinx murmured softly, her breath ghosting upon the shell of his ear. "I know that you're attracted to me, in the same way that I'm attracted to you." The exotic woman continued in a matter-of-fact tone. "You want me, Chad, and I want you... And I don't believe in wasting time when it comes to going after what I want."

"Jinx," he started with some effort, drawing back to look her in the eyes. "Why, why me?" The tall, dark-skinned teen went on. "A- am I really that interesting to you?"

She responded to the question with a predatory smile. "Because you're like me," the woman started, cupping his jaw and looking into his eyes. "You're different, you're an outsider." Jinx continued softly, meeting his gaze. "You don't conform to the society around you, you aren't bound by their beliefs and views, the fact you're attracted to me just proves that."

"And you are attracted to me, right?" She prompted, a hungry look in her eyes.

At this point, the young man realized that what she was saying was less of a question, and more just a statement of fact. That said, he relented and nodded. "Yes, I am attracted to you, Jinx."

She responded to the affirmation with an uncharacteristically soft smile, followed by her leaning in to kiss him. There was something how forceful she was being that seriously turned Chad on, such that he thought nothing of it when he returned the gesture in earnest, his tongue brushing upon hers.

"And of course," she resumed, gazing lustily into his dark eyes. "I also happen to find you to be very attractive, not to mention... Thoroughly fuckable!" She declared forcefully, in a low husky tone that just served to further turn him on, not to mention leave him uncomfortably hard!

Before he was able to fully process what was happening, the next thing Chad knew, she was pushing him onto his bed and pulling his shirt of him. He obliged the eager woman and promptly lifted his arms up to help facilitate the process. This done, Jinx took a moment to silently look upon him, seemingly pleased with what she saw, considering that she wasted no time removing her gloves and climbing onto his lap. She licked her lips, running her hands up and down the contours of his muscular frame.

It was while all this happening that the teen idly noticed that her bellybutton was pierced, as well as the tattooed circle of thorns surrounding it. She followed his line of sight and grinned. "Like it?"

He nodded, a small roguish smile on on his face. "Yeah."

This was enough to urge her on, as she reached down to unbuckle belt holding the tight black pants she was wearing, loosing the garment from her shapely hips. Kicking off her heavy boots, she discarded the pair of tight leather pants and boots she was wearing, revealing further tattoos...

In addition to the green Chinese Dragon coiled around her left arm and the armored Samurai warrior adorning her right arm, there was also the imagery tattooed upon her hips and thighs: depicting the face of a Shisa-like beasts on either side of her torso and upper hips, along with intricate line-work covering the exterior of her toned thighs. She hooked the sides of the simple black panties she had on and slide them down, before casually discarding the small garment.

But now, as he gazed down at the juncture between her legs- to the flesh of her smooth, shaved sex- the tall young man found himself at a loss as to how to process what he was seeing. This of course, was the opening Jinx that was hoping for, as she leaned in to kiss him once more. While this was going on, she eagerly reached down to undo the buttons of his pants, wasting little time as she freed his member.

"Well now, how nice finally see something that actually lives up to the anticipation..." The exotically adorned woman started with a small tilt of her head, her tone extremely lascivious as she eyed the stiff flesh before her. "I must say, looking at it, I am impressed."

Chad felt his cheeks flush under the woman's lurid praise. Without thinking, he reached up to remove the vest she was still wearing, only for her to stop him. "Now now, stud," the exotic woman began, her smile never wavering. "Let's not worry about that at the moment."

He wasn't sure what to make of the comment. However, the teenager didn't have much time to process what was unfolding, as she pressed her hands against his chest and pushed him down onto the mattress, then climbed up onto the bed, so that she was now kneeling over him...

She gasped, the lips of her sex parting as she slid down upon the youth's hard shaft, Chad grunting in turn as Jinx slid down- enveloping his length within the grip of her warmth.

Surprisingly, the exotic woman let out a faint cry of pleasure as she finally settled upon him, taking a moment to sigh as she let herself get comfortable before she began slowly moving against him. As this was happening, his powerful hands made their way to her inked hips, both guiding and encouraging her motions as he began to move of his own accord- thrusting up into her.

Jinx let out a pleasured gasp as they began moving against each other. She placed the palms of hands against his hard muscles as they continued, before moving up to tease her own nipples- edging herself on as they continued having sex. Chad, for his part, was seriously enjoying the sight of the gorgeous woman astride him, getting off as the two of them made love!

Chad had to grit his teeth as their coupling played out... There was just something about this strange woman that seriously aroused him, more so than any girl he'd been with. He wasn't sure if is was how she carried herself, or the aura of danger about her... But the attraction was there, none the less.

Really, he wasn't sure if he should feel guilty about how enjoyable this was, considering that he was quite literally sleeping with the enemy at the moment... There was one part of him that kept telling him he should be ashamed for what he was doing, while another part of him was just as quick to remind him that he wasn't actually betraying anyone by what he was doing.

After all, it wasn't as if he was doing something like aiding or sharing secrets with the very attractive woman presently riding him for all he was worth! No, all he was doing was engaging in an act that was to the enjoyment of both of them- and so, it was in their interest to see it to an acceptable climax.

While all this played out, she wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him in to plant a feverish kiss upon his lips. The reddish-purple haired female grinned wildly as between planting kisses upon his mouth, even as her whole body was rocked every time he bucked against her. Jinx practically screamed out in pleasure as her entire body convulsed with pleasure as she came around him!

Scant secants later, she went slack, falling upon his broad frame, the two of them gasping for breath. And as he lay there, with her, he became aware of just how tired he now felt, and just heavy his eyelids were becoming in that moment. Wrapping an arm around her, he soon drifted off...

Later that night, Chad looked up, to see Jinx resting on her side and looking at him. As soon as she registered his gaze, she smiled warmly at him. "Was it good for you?"

He exhaled, thinking for a moment. "Yes..." The dark-skinned youth replied, shifting under the sheets and looking her way. "What about you, how was it for you?"

The inked woman grinned. "You were... to put it, in a word, superb." Jinx answered, brushing a hand against his cheek and caressing his mop of thick dark hair. "I had a good feeling about you, Chad, when I first laid eyes on you." She continued. "I haven't enjoyed myself that much in a long time."

"As long as we're being open with each other," the illustrated woman went on, shifting to prop herself up on her elbow as she continued to address the swarthy youth. "I'm not that much older than you, but I am old enough to know a real man from a pretender... and you are real."

Shifting himself to meet her gaze, he exhaled. "My god, woman, you're insane, and more than that, you're dangerous," he stated with a smile. "The truth is, that any other man would be scared to death of you." Chad spoke. "But I'm not just any other man... That, and there's just something about you that I can't get out of my head... and so, you have me at a disadvantage."

This time, it was Jinx who smiled. "Would that I were some silly girl who'd met you, before all of the complications we now face." She lamented in a rare unguarded moment. "Fate really does have a sense of humor, that you and I should meet in such a benighted time."

"I'm guessing you'll be gone before I wake up..." The young man remarked.

Jinx nodded. "That doesn't change things between us." She replied, earning a surprised look from the man laying beside her. "Whatever else happens," she went on to say, taking his hand hand holding it to her bosom. "This, this feeling- what's between us- this is real."
