Thread: Venus Ascending [Chai & Alkaline]

Dominic always forgot how annoying the lighting in these clubs was. His rather advanced eye sight was usually able to adapt quickly, but the pulsing neon lights was always a challenge. Plus it distracted from all the pretty ladies, and that was a real shame. He found himself gritting his teeth, and shielding his eyes until they found the proper middle ground, hoping Kaisa hadn't noticed. While he wanted to trust her, he still preferred not to give away any sort of weakness, how ever small it may have been. If she needed to, he had no doubt that she'd find a way to take advantage of a similar effect if needed. Mike, and his garrish orange shirt, and a laugh that was worse than nails scratching on a chalkboard, only made the whole experience even harder to stomach. Mike... he said with a small nod, content to let Kaisa do most of the talking for now, unable to hide the smile that crept onto his lips as the two women took his arms. I suppose this makes up for the lighting and... Well, Mike being Mike. Well aren't you two friendly... Kaisa, feel free to take your time, he said as one of the two playfully grabbed his wrist, tugging him towards a private room towards the back of the hall. And no running away! Mike, shoot her in the ass if she tries, okay? With a laugh, he felt another hand grab him by the collar, tugging him into the room, and tossing him into a chair before he had a chance to think twice about it. The excitement was sadly short lived though. Just as the beautiful, buxom brunette was playfully wrapping a boa around his neck, he heard a rather loud shout, followed by the apparent bang of a gunshot. The two girls gave a sharp shriek, ducking behind the couch quickly. Outside, the thumping base from the dance floor lowered, and he heard a man shout again. Bloody Rose! I know you're in there ya fuckin' asshole! Get out here so I can fuckin' kill you! With a sigh, Dominic pushed himself up out of the chair, and moved back the curtain to peek onto the dance floor. He could see a group of men mingling about, the leader pushing one of the dancers to the ground violently as he paced back and forth. Mike's head briefly popped out of the backroom as well, but Dom just held waved him back inside. You two finish the deal, I'll take care of this for you. These two bit fucks ruined my lapdance, so I owe them some payback... Taking in a deep breath, he steadied himself and took a step out onto the floor, arms held wide in a show of peace. Gentlemen, I'm afraid the Rose is busy tonight, so you'll get me, instead. You better have a good reason for ruining a mighty fine time I was about to have... Four men, all armed, though thankfully only one with a gun. The rest had some variety of club or blade, though it was clear they weren't the wealthy type. The leader, a man probably in his mid 30s, snarled and bared his crooked teeth, tongue pressed up against a gap where the front two were missing. Like hell she's busy. That cunt killed my father, and now she's going to pay herself! She killed my mum too! So yeah! We're gonna make her pay! chipped in one of the eager fellows behind him as well. Hmm, real sorry to hear that, but if I let you back there, she's only going to kill the lot of you too. Imagine how sad the rest of your family would be to hear she got to you all too. The leader, spitting yet again, moved closer to Dominic, his chest bumping his as he stared him down. Just an extra inch or two, that's all I had to have. These fucks wouldn't feel like they could intimidate me quite so easy if I was six foot, I bet. He could see his finger twitching, sliding closer to the trigger as their eyes locked, a single trail of drool slipping out the corner of his mouth. I'mma give you 10 seconds, or I'mma have to kill you, then we'll start killing these ladies one by one until the Rose shows her face. How's that sound ya twat? With another heavy sigh, Dominic dropped his head, rubbing his forehead as he did. Apparently these men were deadset on getting revenge. Normally he'd understand, but fuck if he wasn't in need of that lapdance. Threatening the women too, now that was just the icing on the cake. Alright, so we're doing it the hard way then? The leader just grinned, flashing his gap tooth smile once more as the men behind him stepped in closer. Yeah, looks like we are you stupid mother fu- Before he could finish the sentence, another shot rang out, a splatter of blood hitting Dominic in the face. He coughed and spit a bit, wiping his face with the back of his hand and only causing the blood to smear across his skin instead. The leader, mouth gaping open, smoke rising up out of the fresh hole in his head, fell to his knees and then crashed to the floor, leaving Dom standing with his pistol still pointed to the ceiling. Didn't think that through now, did I? he asked the remaining three as they stood in stunned silence. Casually, he holstered his weapon, then flicked his hand towards the ground in an attempt to get some more blood off. When he looked back up, the three remaining thugs had unfortunate scowls on their faces. Huh. Dumber then you look. Impressive, he said with a grin, his teeth shining out brighter against the bloodstained skin. Well alright then, let's do this... With a feral yell, two of the men came charging at Dominic. To his surprise, the third made a bolt for the back room instead. Okay, a little smarter than I gave them credit for, he thought as he raised an arm to parry the first attempted blow. As he carried the man's arm away, his other hand shot up, palm smashing him in the nose and breaking it instantly. A torrent of blood ruptured from nostrils, and he fell to the floor with a piercing shriek of pain. No sooner had the second fallen, and the third was on top of him, wailing in a high pitched voice as he raised a jagged blade into the air. A quick side step from Dom, and the fool found himself stumbling forward, and slicing nothing but air instead. Dominic wouldn't give him a second chance to attack, moving quickly from behind and stomping on his achilles, the bones crunching as his ankle snapped and sent him tumbling to the ground in a heap. Stupid fucking idiots... he muttered under his breath as he watched the two writhing on the ground, sobbing in a crumpled mess. You're lucky I won't kill you, ya know that? I very well should, considering none of these fine women will want to give me a dance covered in blood. Now where did your last friend take off too? he asked, turning and giving the one with a broken nose a sturdy kick to the gut as well. Well fuck... He said, watching the final man kick down the door that Mike and Kaisa had ducked into. Rose! You got one coming your way! He shouted as he casually walked over to the bar and grabbed a napkin to attempt to clean a little blood off his face. Last edited May 26, 2019
