Hot waters sprinkled down as the steam rolled off the soft skin. Long dreamer lashes kissed the cheeks of Kel as she allowed herself to just soak up the heat from the shower. Letting out a blissful sigh, the young woman pushed her hair back, the brown tresses that brushed against the bottom of her shoulder blades slick in shampoo. The sweet scent of peaches and vanilla filled the small motel bathroom as Kel diligently scrummed the dirt and grim off her weary body.
"Oi! Mindelan, you do realize that you have a partner? A rather hot and sweaty partner covered in dirt and gods know what else, SITTING on -your- bed?"
The agent's hazel eyes snapped open, her annoyed look able to kill and peel paint off walls. The nerve of that sick son of a bitch….
Covering her face with a palm Kel groaned and leaned her body back against the tiled walls, too tired to react to her rude ass partner. It's been 5 days. 5 days of living in this moderate motel that lacked any roaches but made up for in rats. Thankfully the dog, Jump/Rufus the IX took care of the rodents. 5 days of rummaging around in alleys, pushing shady characters against walls, demanding information about the mysterious sniper that killed their informant. Chief Wylden had cut off communications. Both Knights, Joren and Kel suspected that the reason for doing so was to protect their mission. Their lines must be tapped.
"MINDELAN!"
"OKAY! Don't get your panties in a bunch, -Stone-."
Rolling her eyes, the woman rushed through her shower, rinsing out the shampoo, not bothering with conditioner. The whole purpose of the shower was just to get the grime out anyways.
Tugging a towel around her muscular build, Kel grabbed a small towel to dry out her hair when she yanked the door open… and found herself staring at a nice set of pecs. Nice… pecs….
"When you're done staring at my body, you mind moving out of the bathroom Lump?" drawled Joren, holding a loosely wrapped towel around his abdomen. He knew his body was achingly good. He knew his sweat and grim covered chiseled body only made him seem all the more sexy. He knew… and wanted Kel to know too.
The ice prince's lips curled in a knowing smirk as he stared at the brunette in front of him, her hazel eyes staring ahead… then roughly pushing him aside to escape the bathroom.
Joren stepped into the steamy bathroom with a wide triumphant grin on his face. The look was promptly let go when his partner punched the wound he received on their last information gathering. Suppressing his yell that turned into a hiss, the blonde man sent a venomous glare to backside of his partner. Bad move.
The cobalt eyes of the Knight followed the subtle sway of his partner's hips, his vision glued to how each droplet of water on her skin seemed to roll sensually down her backside to disappear into the white towel. His nose was filled with the faint scent of vanilla and peaches… a tantalizing scent that caused his manhood to ache.
Joren slammed the door shut while Keladry smirked, her backs till towards him. Ahh, toying with males was so fun! If she had known how good the satisfaction of teasing was, she would have done this ages ago.
Letting out a chuckle tear from her lush lips, Keladry dropped onto Joren's bed, knowing full well that her partner's earlier warning was true and her bed was probably covered in smelly dirt and alleyway smoke.
Her eyes closed partway, her body needed some rest. Jump/Rufus the IX jumped onto the bed and gave Kel a little lick on her nose. She smiled dreamily, halfway to sleepy land. Today was a rough day… a lot harder than usual to get info….
..:Flashback:..
A thuggish large male's back crashed into the cracked brick wall of the shadowed alley.
"Easy there, try not break his bones,"
Joren's eyes never strayed from the man whose shirt was clenched in his strong hands. His grip tightened at Kel's words and he thrust the man higher against the wall, choking him.
"You tellin' me what to do wench?"
Her face twitched. Why that arrogant son of a-
Keladry found herself enveloped in the arms of a giant of a male, the rotting scent of beer, drugs and sex overwhelming her senses. The rough skin of the male riddled with scars coupled with the scent made her want to gag.
"Drop the man or the girl gets it,"
Joren narrowed his eyes and turned his face around, his grasp on the choking victim never giving any slack.
Vermillion eyes sought out the owner of the voice, hardly giving attention to the captive Kel who was oddly still.
"Silent are we?"
A man in a pristine suit stepped out of the shadows into a small ray of light. He was cleanly shaved with long lanky red hair that parted at the middle, some stray strands falling into his face. ((AN: A pic resembling this char is supplied at the bottom of chappie)). The man spat out a cigarette.
"If you value you're life, I highly suggest you to drop my associate there. If not your life than the life of your woman,"
Keladry surprised yet another gag while Joren's face curled into his famous sneer.
"My woman? This wench here? You can have her. She has no value,"
The partner of the coldly voiced Joren glared daggers.
Why that piece of shit…
A choking noise rose out of Keladry though it wasn't rage. The burly man that she was clutched against was attempting to cut off her air supply. Joren stared on, not noticing or caring about Kel's situation. He didn't need to worry. Nope. Not at all. He wasn't worried.
A small sweat rolled the side of his face. The man in the suit chuckled, seeing it but the sound soon caught in his throat.
Joren who moments ago still had his strong grip on the man against the wall now had his strong grip on this clean shaved suited man's throat. The movement was quick. A blur.
Keladry took the sign and tossed her captor onto the ground. Her face was blank as she straddles his waist. The brunette in mere moments, turned her position of power into an arm breaking arm lock. The smelly ugly burly man howled in pain as his arm broke with a loud crack.
Hell broke loose.
Joren lost his breath when he was tackled from behind. The man he had thrown against the wall sought revenge.
..:End Flashback:..
Kel sighed in dreamlike state. Though between her and Joren, they had managed to beat down the 3 males, Joren not sported a large bruise on his back from that tackle.
Miffed from Joren's lack of concern for his partner while she was 'captured', Kel offered the icy male no first aid.
With disgruntled thoughts, Kel's eyes fully shut, her consciousness dropping into slumber. It was at this moment that Joren walked out of the shower, glistening with droplets of water. Rivulets of it leaked down his hair, the semi-long platinum blond strands plastered to his head and face in a sexy manner.
Raising an eyebrow at the female form clad only in a towel on his bed, Joren smirked and tugged his loose towel around his waist tighter. Oh this is going to be rich. The muscular male snuck closer to the bed, earning him a strange look from the dog. Motioning for the canine to sit on the ground, Joren snuck closer to Kel, his hands outstretched as if to tear her towel off… Oh man, this was going to be rich…
