56 Story time (2/2)
A wicked grin crept across his face. He leaned over toward her cupping her face in a large hand and pulled her into a rough kiss. He kissed her until she had completely melted into his arms and moaning against his lips. He lifted her onto his lap pushing the leather skirt up over her hips. ”I can't help but think if I'd been born with a pair of tits like yours, my job would be much easier.” He watched as anger and embarrassment colored her features, then chuckled. When she struggled to get off his lap, he held her firm in one hand and cupped her lush breast with the other. ”No point getting mad, it's the truth. I bet you use this body to your advantage all the time.”
She drew back and slapped him hard across the face, ”Would you like me to remind you what this body can do?”
His grin spread from ear to ear as a red handprint heated his cheek. ”Please do. My memory just isn't what it used to be.” He winked up at her before pulling her against him and recapturing her lips.

When Orion walked back into the apartment upstairs, the kid had finally regained consciousness and Raven had cleaned most of the blood from his upper body. He tossed the first aid kit toward her.
”Hurry and patch the kid up, we're not safe here.” He tossed the keys at Raven before signaling to
Russ to get up and follow him. ”I need you all to have your shit packed and ready in an hour.” He looked at Raven for a second then added, ”You need to close that little bar of yours too. Call and get everyone out as soon as your done here.”
Raven jumped to her feet and followed him as he walked back toward the ransacked living room. ”What the fuck?! I'm not even asking where you've been for the past hour, the lipstick and open fly answers that but what gives you the right to come in here and order us around without explanation? Don't you even want to hear what the kid has to say?”
He rolled his eyes at the hotheaded fairy, ”Sure, but not here.” He glanced back down the hallway and lowered his voice. ”I ran into the cleanup crew downstairs. It wasn't ordered by Dante… It was ordered by Xavier, with no loose ends left behind. The kid's to be killed if found alive.” He smiled down into her confused eyes, ”Lucky for you my fraternization and womanizing spreads to the best-used cleaners as well.”
Raven rolled her eyes, ”Figures… Aren't we lucky to know such a man-whore? Your cock knows no limits, including innocent children.” She turned to walk away before her anger got the best of her. {The last thing I need is to fight a demigod…}
Orion caught her arm. ”I mean it, shut the bar down and get the kid out of here. And Joslyn was far from a child or innocent. You know that as well, as I.” He released her arm as she pulled against his grip.
”Fuck off, Orion.” She bit out as she headed back down the hall.
”My orders stand, Raven.” He yelled after her. ”Get your asses moving.” He redialed a number on his phone and began speaking to someone on the other end as she disappeared down the hall.
Raven walked into the room, two angry eyes glaring at her. She ignored him as she walked over to Naru. ”Can you stand?” She held out her hand to him as he struggled up.
Russ walked over and took his friend's other arm to help him up. ”You will explain that to me later.” He hissed, still glaring at her.
”What part?” She asked without looking at him.
”You know damn good and well what part!” Russ growled as he hooked an arm around Naru to help balance him.
Raven sighed, ”Jos's suspicions were spot on. He was the one-”
”Not that part! The bastard has been taunting me this whole time about Jos and you knew they had a relationship? WTF?! Why didn't you say anything?” Russ fought to keep his emotions in check and his voice low.
Raven frowned, ”Because she wouldn't want you to know… even if she did, she should be the one to tell you not me.”
Russ snarled baring his canines, ”Well she's not here, you are.”
Raven shook her head but answered him anyways. ”It not my place to tell you this, but in a nutshell, this is what happened…” She ran her hand through her hair and threw a glance at Naru. ”After her father left her mother lost it, first going into a fit of rage, then deep depression followed by isolation. When Jos was born, she was so distraught Jos was sent away to be raised by…” She eyed Russ not wanting to give too much detail away in front of the injured werecat. ”…Others… By the time her mother was willing to acknowledge her daughter and actually be a parent, Joslyn was pretty far along in age… and… unruly… That was when, against my advice, she called in Orion.” She softly closed the door. ”As great as he is at his job, Orion is as well known for his womanizing. Jos was taken by him almost right away and he knew it. He used it to his advantage, had his fun, and when his job was done left without a word. She found him some time after only to discover he was already with another.” Her hand gripped the knob, ”This is all I'm willing to tell you. All you need to know about him is that he's the best at his job. Do what he says, and you'll go far but don't expect anything out of him. He'll only let you down.”
Russ arched an eyebrow, ”Why do I get the feeling you're leaving out a huge portion of this tale?”
Raven shrugged a frown set deep into her features, ”Probably because I am…” She pulled the door open and walked out trying her best to clear a path for Russ and Naru. ”Let's go. He's right it's not safe here and neither will our apartment be. If Dante didn't find what he was looking for here then chances are, he'll go to our apartment tonight.”
Russ's brows arched in confusion, ”Why tonight?”
”Vampires who kill have problems coming into the sun. It's temporary after a kill, but if the vampire kills frequently then it becomes more long-lasting.” She answered matter-of-factly.
”Dante hasn't been able to stand in the sun for well over a century, and Xaiver can only do so because he has others to do his dirty work for him.” Orion added as he hung up the phone.”

Russ's eyes widened, ”Then Joslyn is in trouble! We have to get to her!” He began moving toward the front door in a hurry until Naru grunted loudly in pain beside him. He glanced down at his injured friend. ”Sorry man, I almost forgot.”
Orion walked over lifting the boy into his arms, ”Come on kids, let's get going. You can tell me what was said on the way to my place.”
