King of Hearts
Chapter 38 – Baiting A Wolf.
Lace's POV, Lone Street Tavern.
As I pulled up to the bar I immediately noticed a few other cars packed around the lot. Guess I'll have to do this the hard way.
Slowly stepping out of my car, I checked myself before even thinking of entering.
Keeping myself on the lines of attractive and a little desperate, I wore a nice tight pair of leggins and a small, yet revealing top. It had just enough room for anyone close to get a good look at some action. Which was just what I was aiming for in this case.
Making sure the first few buttons were undone, I fixed my quills and made my way for the door.
As I entered I got more then a handful of eyes as I glanced around for wherever Reaver would happen to be on his break. My first instinct was to check the bar, but seeing only a long line of hedgehogs and other echidnas got me to checking the booths around the building to find one lonely, yet dark looking man sitting away from me.
I recognized his dark green fur from a mile away and knew that it was him.
Forcing a smile to all the others who checked me out, I got my ass to the bar to order a quick beer. Even the bartender was surprised to see me in a place like this.
"What brings such a good looking woman such as yourself here today, ma'am?" He wondered as I smiled and looked to Reaver who I could now see from the side. He looked to be enjoying himself as I replied.
"I was looking for a friend of mine. Said he would meet me here."
"What's his name? I know everyone that walks in. I bet I can point him out if he's here."
Smiling to the man I replied.
"His name's Reaver. Tall, good looking, wolf?" I stated as he nodded and pointed right behind me.
"He's right over there. Hey Reaver?!" He shouted to get his attention.
Upon looking towards us, I locked eyes with the wolf as he replied.
"Yeah?"
Giving him a smile, I got myself straight as the bartender stated.
"You got a visitor!"
Reaver was lost in his own form of confusion with mixed drinks; as I made my way to his booth to shout.
"It's so good to see you again Reaver!"
Bringing him in for a hug, he replied in loss.
"Ah...I'm sorry miss. I don't know you."
Giving him a chuckle I replied.
"Of course you wouldn't. It's been a few years since we last seen each other!"
Reaver remained seated as I got serious with my story.
"Jen? From high school?"
Reaver was completely drained of all thoughts as I urged him on with a wide smile.
After some time he replied.
"I'm so sorry, but I swear I don't know any Jen. You must have me confused with someone else in here."
"Your the only Reaver I know. Maybe this will speed up your memory."
Still lost in everything, I pressed my lips to his getting his eyes to widen in an instant shocked expression. He still didn't seem to care however, cause he began to kiss back till I pulled away to ask.
"May I seat with you?"
I knew Reaver was beyond lost, but in the end he replied.
"Of...of course."
"Thank you." I replied with a smile as I got down across from him.
His whole body was tense from the kiss still, but I was beginning to see his nerves unwind. I'm hoping I can bag him with all the drinks he's already pounded down in his gullet.
Reaver's POV.
Everything was spinning. This hedgehog smiled wide at me as I was still trying to remember who she was from my past. Could she have been one of my old girlfriends? Or some younger sister or something? I wondered as she began to drink her beer before me.
Keeping silent, I lowered my eyes to her breasts. They were so firm from the looks. Seems like the kind of girl I would have went for back then.
As I just stared, she put her finger under my chin to get me to look back up and into her bright eyes.
"I know you must be confused Reav. I would be too if I hadn't seen someone since high school, but lucky for you."
"Lucky me, how?" I questioned as she went on to say.
"I missed you. Ever since we broke up all those years ago I couldn't help but ask what went wrong."
As she went on for another sip of her beer, I began to try and piece this all together. Maybe she really was some old slut of mine and I just don't recall the face. I went through my fair share of girls in my day.
Completely changing subjects she asked.
"So what have you been up to since school?"
Putting my drink aside I replied carefully.
"I've been working."
"Ohhh...where?" She asked next as I thought for a cover.
As one came to me, I replied.
"At a local club. I'm a bouncer."
Giving me a smile she replied.
"You always were the type to play rough with people."
Giving her a small chuckle I asked.
"You?"
Finishing her beer she replied softly.
"I'm working with my mother cutting hair. Nothing big, but I love it."
Nodding, I glanced towards my watch to see I was running out of time.
As I held my eyes however on the clock; I felt her hand take hold of my wrist gently.
Slowly looking back to her she asked.
"You late for something?"
With a red face I replied.
"Actually I have to get going here in a minute. I'm only on my break."
Softly releasing my arm she asked.
"Is there any chance I can come with you? I'm always looking to have some fun."
Now I was stuck.
"Ahhhhh...well it's a gentleman's club. You wouldn't be interested in that."
Smiling she replied.
"You'd be surprised how much I grew up since we went our separate ways Reaver."
The smell of her breath and the wetness of her lips began to overpower me as I replied.
"Really?"
Smiling she replied back.
"Yeah. I like to do a lot of things these days."
Feeling my better judgment begin to fade I asked.
"Like what?"
Giving me a small red blush, I began to feel her hand reach for my leg.
My whole face went red as she began to go up.
Feeling her fingers getting closer to my crotch, I began to burn up inside as she replied quietly.
"I think that's for you to find out."
Resting on my junk, I put my hand on top of hers and gave in to reply.
"Well...maybe you can come with me. So long as you behave yourself."
Her bright white teeth shined to me as she replied.
"Oh I promise. I'll be a good girl for old times sake."
Looking back to my watch and seeing it was about time for me to get heading back to the compound, I gave haste in the moment to reply to her warm essence.
"Lets...ahh...let's go then. I...can't be late."
Letting go of my crotch she replied.
"We wouldn't want that, now would we?"
My whole mind was shot from the drinks, the confusion, and now her. In time, I managed to get up from the booth with her reaching for my hand.
As she wrapped her fingers around mine, I looked to her to see she was smiling to my touch.
Giving in, I accepted her and began to guide her out to my car.
Every fiber in my body was wanting to fuck her and it became reality as we reached the car and she tackled me into the door pressing her soft lips into mine.
Letting my tongue begin to feel hers, I quickly grabbed a hold of her back as she immediately went for my crotch again.
Rubbing it up and down as we kissed, I made haste for her ass to wrap my palms around her tight cheeks. God was she built like an eighteen year old virgin cheerleader.
Giving off a slight moan as I ran my fingers in between her legs, I rested my chin over her shoulder as she reacted and began to kiss my neck.
Just as everything was going so well, and my fingers began to get wet. I widened my eyes to feel a sharp pain in my side.
Everything stopped in an instant as she held along my neck with a small blade resting in the right side of my stomach.
In shock, I stared into her eyes as she whispered.
"Guess it's not your lucky day after all."
Blood gently began to ooze down my leg as I gained the strength to try and fight back.
Pinning my arm to the car door, she whispered.
"Don't fight it. Just shut your eyes and...?"
In all my anger I bit down on her neck.
"Aghhhh!" In a shocking pain she released the blade and pulled back to cover her neck where my teeth managed to cause a puncture.
In agony, I took out the small knife and looked back to find her caught off guard.
Her eyes went wide as I swung at her face.
In speed, she moved to the side and took a strong hold of my arm to try and force me to my knees.
"Fucking bitch!"
Sending my left hand back at her, I watched my knuckles connect to her cheek with enough force to get her to let go and fall back a few feet.
Taking my chances, I went to lunge at her, but was roughly countered by another quick step to the left.
Watching as I fell to my hands and knees from blood loss, I began to grip the blade under my palm as hard as I could to hear her say.
"Don Robotnik sends his regards Reaver."
Hearing the name, I waited till she neared to reply.
"Your not getting away with this!"
Reaching down for my neck, she questioned.
"And why's that?"
Continuing to let my arms rest on the ground as she went to yank me up, I waited till the exact moment to reply.
"Cause your coming with me!"
Sending the blade forward, the bitch panicked, but was too slow to react as I slammed it through the side of her right thigh with everything I had left to offer.
"AGHH!"
In a panic she released me. And in force, I pulled out and tackled her under me.
With my blood getting on her chest, I brought up the blade to send it down at her neck.
Just before I could make any sort of contact however; she placed her hands around mine to stop them in their tracks.
Giving all my power to her, I pushed down.
Her grunts of resistance couldn't match her ability to fight back. and with each second beginning to fade, I began to smile as the blade slowly lowered to the edge of her throat.
Seeing the tip slowly push through her skin, I widened my eyes as she sent her elbow to the side hitting me in the edge of my eye.
Lace's POV.
I couldn't breathe! But with all the strength I had, I sent Reaver under me to take back control over the knife.
His blood loss gave it all up as I sent it down into his throat completely.
With wide eyes, he began to go still and with all my anger; I pushed it harder and further till the butt of the blade touched his chin and blood began to soak out onto my hands.
With moments of him staring into my eyes, Reaver went still and died out under me.
Letting my anger descend, I pulled out the blade and reached for my neck to begin to cough roughly.
"Ugh! Akk!" Blood splashed out on my palm as I began to look around for my escape.
Limping my way back up and to my car, I got in to see Reaver had gotten me good. Fucking guy pierced one of my pipes. I could feel the blood clogging it up slowly as I tried to breath. Seeing no other option, I switched to my nose for now and started up the car.
Blood slowly ran down my shirt as I had my free hand holding down my leg from bleeding out.
I wanted to throw out cruses for letting my guard down to that asshole, but I knew it would only make things worse as I made haste for the compound.
Soon getting in, I got out of the car to attract some weary eyes. This time however they weren't focused on my ass.
Holding my leg down, I was rushed by Rover who must have been on watch. He pinned me back to my car ask in confusion.
"What the fuck happened Lace!?"
Giving him a small smile and chuckle I replied.
"I'm fine Rover. Nothing serious. Just get me to the office."
Shaking his head as he saw my neck, he replied.
"It can wait! You need to get that patched up!"
"I'm serious Rover!" I stated in anger as he equally replied.
"And so I'm I Lace! That's deep and if you don't get it looked at now your throat will fucking clog up with blood in a matter of minutes until you can't breathe!"
Staring into my eyes with force, I let him take over with a nod as my response.
"Fine! Go tell Pitch it's done. Reaver won't be an issue anymore for us."
Nodding slowly, Rover got a few guys to help take me to the hospital to get checked out. I hope the kid won't be too worried about me while I'm gone.
Don Pitch Robotnik's POV.
Sitting alone at my desk still going over folder after folder, I looked to the side to see the picture of that wolf still staring at me. His red eyes glared at me as the door to my office opened with Rover quickly making his way in to me.
Looking to him as he stopped in front of the desk, I saw blood on his hands as he said to me with a calming tone.
"Reaver's dead. Lace killed him."
Noting the blood more then anything, I questioned.
"Where's Lace then?"
Looking into my eyes with a frown, I took the hint and asked in fear.
"Is she okay?!"
Nodding quickly he assured me.
"She got her fair share by the looks of it. I got some guys taking her to the hospital now to make sure she's okay."
My heart felt like it got stabbed, as Rover stated.
"She's going to be fine Pitch. Give it an hour and when I'm all set we can get heading over if you want to check on her for yourself."
Nodding near immediately, Rover then urged.
"Just try to relax and keep doing what your doing here. I'll come for you when I got everything settled outside with the men. Okay?"
Continuing my nod, Rover gave a small smile and made his way out of the office.
As the picture still smiled at me from the edge of my desk, I could now only worry about Lace. I never meant for her to get hurt. God I hope she's okay.
Letting my feelings continuing to keep me from my work, I waited for the hour to pass in silence, and mixed emotions. Each second slowly passed, with a rough sting to each of their tocks and ticks.
Love and a hug. Remember to leave it and I will have more chapters up soon hopefully. If you have any questions or comments don't forget you can always message me. Thank you all again for reading. It means the world to me.
