Jovian Chronicles: Book One
The Present: Chapter Two
Makoto looked at Tanaka while he tried to explain the plan but he couldn't help but stop to stare at the beautiful, tall woman in front of him. Her hand moved over her lips as she left out a girlish giggle which made him finally stop talking and look at her face. She could understand his problem with trying to not pay attention to her revealed body while she sat in a some-what high class dress as to make it obvious that she was a 'hooker'. The color was a soft satin black dress that went to her knees, but she had yet to put on. Instead, she sat in front of him, purposely, in her satin strapless black bra, matching string thong with garters connected to her small fishnet thigh-highs, and two-inch heels. On the couch she sat with her arms hanging over the top cushions, her legs crosses, and a large smile over her lips. His reaction was something she loved, and toying with him was going to first on her agenda.
"Let things come as they may and we will work around the situations. I cannot exactly tell you the charm that I am going to use on this man until I see him, talk with him, and find out which way to give a look, hand movements, and touching. But, the main point of this operation is to bring him back to my room and get him even more drunk so that we will be able to take him in as easily as possible," answered Makoto while Tanaka nodded in agreement.
She took to her feet and let out a sigh while slipping the dress over her body and adjusting it. Her auburn curls curved along her soft face at last and she gave them one final bounce. Of course, she had to turn to her partner and ask the question she almost knew the answer to but wanted to hear it in his own words.
"How do I look?" she questioned with a hidden smile.
"Breath-taking," he answered, his eyes filled with amusement as he watched her put her ear piece in and then walk towards the door; her hips swaying with each step.
"Good. It should take me less than an hour but, who knows exactly. Stay in this room and don't leave since he might have someone looking around for people he knows or knew at the garden. Be prepared for the worst."
Tanaka nodded and watched her leave with a whistle to follow. Makoto smirked as she continued towards the elevator and down to the bottom floor. There, she walked along the red carpet until she reached the stairs; her hand taking the brown banister as she walked down towards the bar area. A woman was playing a piano while singing in a lovely voice as men sat in booths, drinking and watching her. Over at the bar, a few women sat flirting with high-class men and tried luring them away into the hotel itself. Makoto scanned the room quickly until she spotted her target sitting in what seemed to be a dark corner at the back of the room by the bar. She smiled and made her way toward him.
"Target spotted," she whispered to Tanaka to get a confirmed answer.
His blondish-brown hair was shortly spiked as he leaned forward on his strong arms, his broad shoulders helping to support him. Over those shoulders was a nice tan trench coat with a red cross on the upper right arm, a black t-shirt underneath, matching black pants, a black belt with some silver on it, and black boots to finish off his apparel. His blue-green orbs stared lifelessly at the ember-colored cup in front of him. This was the man she was to seduce; this was Seifer Almasy. She walked toward him and took a seat with him, ordering the strongest drink they had in the bar only for the bartender to grin and gladly make it. For some reason, her order caught his attention and brought him to life again.
"If you get it too strong you'll grow hair on your chest," he said only for Makoto to smile and giggle.
"How do you know I don't already?" she questioned with a raised brow.
Seifer let out a hearty laugh, something that he hadn't did in a long time; this woman was someone he could get along with and she was beautiful, or rather breath-taking when his eyes looked upon her graceful entrance. For some reason, something had sparked his interest in her but most likely it was the light in her eyes that seemed to show a strong, powerful being behind them along with her tall form next to his. But, she wasn't close enough to reaching his height; no woman had ever came as close as she did. He brought his thoughts back to woman sitting next to him, her elbow leaning on the bar, chest tilted towards him, chin cupped around slender fingers, and an amused smile on her face.
"What were you doing sitting here all alone? Are you counting on your good looks to help you get lucky tonight?" she asked, the smile still playing over her soft pink lips that met with her dark ember filled cup.
"I was hoping for that but I'm not sure it's working yet," said Seifer, giving her a boyish grin with his deep voice purring at her.
Makoto gave a giggle and leaned more towards him, exposing the well-developed cleavage and watching his eyes glance down while a gleam was held in them. Her fingers tickled his cheek while her soft breath was in his ear while she spoke the words: "Room 242, I'll be waiting." Then, she proceeded on her way out of the bar after paying for her drink, a sly smile gracing her lips while she gave him wink on the way up the stairs. Seifer gulped down the rest of his drink and took to his feet, quickly moving towards the stairs only for another woman to move in his way but he ignored her as well. The only place that was on his mind was the room where that luscious lady was. No one would get in his way on his own personal mission; and this mission was to seduce her instead of letting her do all the work. So, he paused; not a normal pause mind you but completely stopped before entering the elevator pause. Seifer turned on his heel and moved to the front desk where the beginning of his plans began.
Makoto waiting patiently with her eyes closed, getting herself in a meditated level so she would be able to make herself look weak and then all of a sudden attack him with Tanaka. But, first she was going to try and get Seifer to let her handcuff him to the bed. if that little trick worked then it would make her job completely easy.
"How are the plans going?" chirped the voice in her ear.
"Smoothly. Lets just hope he takes the bait since it's right in his grasp---There's someone at the door and perhaps its him. Be prepared," answered Makoto as she moved to her feet.
There at the door stood a man that worked at the hotel. Over his arm was a silky black handkerchief and a curious smile over his lips.
"I was sent from a gentleman by the name of Almasy to bring you to a private place. He requested that you be blindfolded or forfeit the meeting," he answered.
Makoto moved out of her room and closed the door behind her, letting the man conceal her sight and bring her into the unknown. So far, she could only count five stories up since she was on the second floor already. Finally, she was lead down a long hall and head the sound of a door opening where there was soft music playing. Instead of the blind-fold coming off, she was sat onto what seemed like a bed where she was told to wait without opening her eyes. Silence was around her except for the music playing ever so softly but loud enough to hush the movements around the room. Her senses were tingling while she was trying to figure out what was going on and to see if she could sense the man around her. For some odd reason, she couldn't sense anyone in the room then suddenly her lips were taken in a hungry kiss that made her suddenly tremble with lust and pleasure. As quickly as it came, she pushed it out of her mind while his fingers moved through her hair.
"What's going on? Makoto, where are you? Are you with him? What room? How many floors?" sounded Tanaka's worried voice in her ear loudly, making her want to rip the ear piece out and smash it.
Instead, she felt fingers closely around her ears while he gave her sight back. Her arms, looped around his neck while she pressed her body closer, mainly her chest, and arch up against him time-to-time. Tanaka's voice was getting louder and annoying as ever until she finally lost her cool and moved to turn it off. Instead, it feel out onto the bed where Seifer quickly noticed it and her eyes shot open quickly while the noise hit them both.
"Damn it Makoto, where the hell are you? This is a mission so don't even think about getting any satisfaction with this man! He is to be captured and returned to the garden, not to be used as a play toy! Tell me what room you're in now," yelled Tanaka.
Quicker than her reaction, her arms were pinned down while his blue orbs turned into daggers. Seifer recognized the voice and immediately felt the hate swelter over him. This hate turned towards the woman below him that was also in on this mission with his rival; the very man that he hated himself, Tanaka. But, did she belong to Tanaka, since the worry in his voice seem of the most concern. Makoto took away his thoughts by kneeing him arm in the stomach and pushing his body over with a great force that not even himself could believe.
"What was that noise?" asked Tanaka harshly.
Quickly, Makoto swiped up the ear piece with a glare and moved toward the door quickly. Having mastered running in heels, she quickly bounded towards the door except for Seifer to be right behind her. He pushed her against the door harshly and pinned her there, making her give out a groan.
"I ordered you not to bother me while I was working," said Makoto, growling at the man through the ear piece.
Seifer took it from her quickly while he wrestled the woman to the floor, getting her in a stand-by position for a moment while he spoke to Tanaka.
"If you want to see your partner in crime, come to room 790 alone without back-up. She'll be waiting for you," he said and then smashed it. Makoto used the heels to her advantage and jabbed it into his shin while quickly moving away. The fire was raging inside her while she quickly went to get her transformation pen from her invisible pocket. Before she could reach in to grab it, he had grabbed and threw her onto the bed. "You're pissing me off Almasy; just get your ass back to the garden before I knock you on your ass!"
Seifer growl as he took to the challenge and pinned her onto the bed, using his full strength to keep her legs and arms down. No matter how heavy he was, she continued to push against him while her spirit fought hard to never give up to him. This spirit made him smile to himself while he looked down at the power-hungry woman and let out a laugh. How could she be making him laugh twice in one night? Was it a miracle of some sort? To him, it seemed as if the weight was lifted off his shoulders. This woman reminded him of his younger self, hard working and dedicated to something while never giving up no matter how uneven the odds were. Seifer removed himself from above her while he continued laughing, clutching his stomach tightly. Makoto looked at him through slitted cat-like eyes in a glare, keeping her defense up.
"What's so funny?" she asked, a serpents bite to her words.
"For whatever reason Cid sent you, it must have been good," said Seifer, easing down his laughing just as Tanaka burst through the door.
"Makoto, get away from him. This is my fight," he said with his tongue licking his lips hungrily. He saw that she didn't move but instead looked confused. "Well, what the hell are you waiting for? Get out of the way as I take him down!"
Seifer turned towards Tanaka with a grin.
"What is the reason for her arrival?" he asked.
Tanaka rose a brow while he eased down on his defense.
"To be trained with the ways of the gunblade. Cid sees something in this woman that no one else does I believe," he answered with a cocky grin towards the woman that sent a chilling glare in his direction. Makoto removed herself from the bed and brushed past Tanaka whom grabbed her arm before she moved out the door. "What?"
"My task is done so it looks like I'm not needed here. If he gets away, its your problem and not mine since you are employed by this garden of yours," she spat while jerking her arm away from the man and leaving the room.
"I'll come back if I train that woman. If not, you're going to have to put up one hell of a fight," answered Seifer only for Tanaka to give a grin.
"Go right ahead, good luck getting her back to the garden. It looks as if she's going to give-up and do her own thing. But, she was one hell of a woman to look at while she lasted," he answered.
Seifer grinned and moved out of the room, in pursuit of the woman that made him laugh. She was to be his pupil and he was going to make sure of it, no matter what.
