Luna busied herself with putting Marley in the spare bedroom. She was preparing herself for Steve's wrath. From the look in his eye downstairs her body was sure to be riddled with bruises later. Never her face though. He knew to many questions would arise should her face be messed with. Marley was overprotective of her.
Whenever they would fight the puppy would bark and howl to be let out of his cage or room. Luna did it more because she knew Steve would kill him if he ever bit him.
The front door slamming put Luna on high alert.
"Luna, get your half breed ass in here now!" Steve yelled from the front room. Her feet carried her as fast as they could.
"What Steve?" she asked trying to mask the annoyance.
"What the fuck was that?"
"It was nothing Steve. Please don't make this bigger than what it was?"
Steve walked over to Luna and grabbed her by both arms. The anger flaring behind his beautiful baby blue's. She could remember a time she would get lost in them. She remembered when she would look into his eyes and see two beautiful blue gems. Now all she saw was anger, malice and rage.
She missed the way he used to touch her lovingly. She missed the way his gentle kisses would turn her into mush and the way he used to make her writhe beneath him. She wanted the old Steve back.
"You don't talk to other men let alone take rides from them." Steve released one of her arms and used that hand to slap Luna. She let out a cry and tried to push away from Steve. His grip was firm. He pushed her down onto the couch. His face hovering inches above hers.
"If I so much as see you speaking to another man I will fucking kill you, do you understand?" Luna nodded her head as silent tears fell down her face. Steve released her and helped her stand up.
"Go get dressed. We're going out. There's a club not to far from here and I want to go see some bitches shake their ass."
Luna nodded and padded off down the hallway. Of course she couldn't talk to another man but here she was about to get dressed and go to some shitty strip club so he could touch and feel on other women.
Steve held Luna's hand as they stepped into the club. A rap song she was familiar with was blaring through the speakers. Luna was wearing a red one shoulder sequin dress that hit just above her knees and hugged her curves. Luna knew she had an hourglass figure that could compete with baddest movie star but she was humble about her looks. Maybe even a little insecure.
He picked a spot in front of the stage and pulled out Luna's chair and placed a kiss on her cheek. The fire in her blood burned brighter. She loved Steve. Especially when he was doting and kind to her. He just needed help. He needed to know that she cared.
Steve sat down next to her and a scantily clad waitress approached Steve who pulled her down into his lap making the waitress giggle. Luna rolled her eyes and averted her attention to taking in her surroundings. On the stage at the moment appeared to be identical twin sisters dry humping eachother. Gross. At the far end of the stage was a glass window that had gold beads hanging in front of it.
Luna couldn't really see into the room that well but she could make out a man with green hair. He was wearing a white jacket and had his back to the window. She was brought out of her observation by Steve asking what she wanted to drink.
"Patron and redbull." she responded hoping the bartender would make it strong. It was going to be a long night.
Luna was currently in the bathroom relieving her bladder of the patron shots she had been doing while Steve threw money at the women dancing on stage. He had even went back to the VIP a few times. Washing her hands and touching up her makeup Luna headed out of the bathroom and collided with someone not paying attention to where she was going.
"Sorry...gravitational pull." She chirped. The liquor making her a bit more bold and friendly than usual. Looking up at the person she attempted to mow over, she realized it was the man with green hair. Except now she got to see his face. He had a mouth full of silver teeth and red lips, with tattoo's on his face. His skin was as white as snow and his eyes screamed danger.
"I'm sorry. I guess I should've lead with that." Luna sputtered out.
The man smirked and chuckled a little.
"Well, hello beautiful." he replied genuinely enthralled that this woman wasn't cowering in fear from him. She must be new in town.
Luna smiled and quickly side stepped the man. She did not need Steve coming to find her in the hallway talking to another strange man that day.
Joker turned around and headed back upstairs to his office. His eyes searching the crowd for the pretty black girl from the hallway. His eyes landed on her sitting next to a man who had his hand on her thigh. Joker's rage surfaced a tiny bit. So she was taken. Big deal. But would she want to fuck a man like him? Because that's what the joker did. He fucked. He did not make love. And he wanted nothing more than for that pretty little thing to be begging him for more as he slammed into her.
Luna sipped some more of her drink and could feel eyes on her. She looked over Steve who was enamoured with the woman sitting on his lap. Luna looked over to the glass window and the man with green hair was staring right at her. He was nursing a glass of something dark, like her eyes. Probably whiskey. His blue-ish green eyes peering down at her with desire in them. Luna felt heat rush to her core. Her brain was screaming at her to look away. She couldn't. She was curious. The man turned around and said something to someone over his shoulder. Luna took advantage of that moment to look away. She leaned over and whispered to Steve.
"Come on baby lets go home." She said and bit his earlobe so he could get the hint. Steve tucked a few bills into the strippers g-string and stood up. He walked over to the bar and settled his table. Luna stood up to meet him only to be met with a man with dark hair.
"What's your name."
Luna smiled and folded her arms.
"Depends on who's asking."
The man smirked.
"The names Frost and I'm asking for my boss." His eyes flickered over to the man standing in the window. Luna followed his line of sight.
"Tell your boss if he wants to know my name, he can ask me himself." Luna turned around and eyes the man one more time. She smiled and stepped around Frost and joined Steve at the bar before he could notice the small conversation that had taken place.
Steve slipped his arms around Luna's waist and pulled her in for a kiss. Luna moaned into his mouth and pulled away.
"So are you going to take me home or what?" Luna asked playfully.
Steve let out a low growl and quickly ushered her outside and into a taxi.
Frost walked into the office and eyed the back of his boss's head. Joker turned around swirling the amber liquid around in his glass.
"She said that if you wanted to know her name, you have to ask her yourself."
The joker smiled and held out his hand for his cane.
"Well looks like you have a broad to track down Frost. Pull the car around."
Frost nodded his head and went to grab Jokers car. He felt almost bad for the pretty girl. She had no idea what she was getting into. Or maybe she did and that was just as unsettling.
