La Chaleur - The Heat of a Lady

NiuNiu Note:

Ah, I still found some typos I missed from the last chapters... Mostly just one letter typos, either a wrong letter or a letter missing, so nothing serious this far. Seem it starts to be a habit of this story – to hide typos from me that after reading the fic 30th time I still find ones, haha!

Dante shoved his glove covered hands deeper into the pockets and sulked, shoulders dropping down. He kept his pensive eyes on the ground as he moved pass masses of people that hustled around the streets. Speak about Friday nights, streets full of people. Even the demon hazard couldn´t keep them inside doors at Fridays. Little they knew there was a demon walking along them. Dante lightened up a bit when he imagined the horror of people (and naturally, the fancy sighs of women) if he transformed into his demon form right now, but soon the little smile was placed with the sulking lips. He pushed himself deeper into the mass looking for the end of the line that twisted and turned nearer the entrance of Love Planet.



After the shower Dante had sat down next to Lady, sipping his cold beer and hoped to sniff out what was wrong with her. Few jokes would loose the air, Dante had thought, but even how hard he tried Lady sat there silently, staring sharply the TV screen. Well, he had managed to get few small huffs from Lady, but that was all. She didn´t even take a look on him, when usually those two coloured orbs were piercing him with such intense Dante was sure his body would get holes from the look. Well, to be honest Dante needed to admire the courage she had, how Lady normally after teasing stepped nearer him with the daring attitude, eyes nailed on his own, small hand gripping the gun hard like saying “yet another word and you know what happens”. Sure he did, but Dante just loved to pull her strings, even if it cost him few bullets in here and there. But now, that Lady was gone. She just sat on the sofa´s corner, legs pulled against the chest, a chin placed on the knees, eyes recording only the TV program. Like Lady would be sad or deep in her thoughts. To cheer her up Dante had suggested that maybe they should go to spend some free time to Love Planet, but Lady had refused saying if the demons attacked they couldn´t get the help calls and she had just took a bath. Dante had still tried to get her with him telling that he believed demons would be celebrating Friday, too, not attacking on anyone since attacking could be placed on a level of work and for emergency he would have his cell phone with him, but Lady still stated she didn´t believe in demons´ day offs and the cell phone was useless, since he or she wouldn´t hear it ringing at loud bar. At a strip tease bar that is, which didn´t excite Lady to leave the warm sofa. Being annoyed by her stubborn attitude Dante had promised, with the impish grin of course, that if Lady liked, he could perform her a private show at Love Planet. That had affected on Lady some level, since she changed her position a bit, sulking even more deeply. Or at least it looked like it her burying her chin nearer the knees and pulling slim legs closer her midsection, eyes becoming hard as rock.



Giving up Dante had finished his beer, leaving the empty can on the table. Murmuring he had made clear that demons really would not be attacking right now so he – otherwise like Lady – would not spend his free time by sulking at home. No, Dante would hit the road and enjoy the heat of the Love Planet till the early morning. Lady had only glanced him with bored eyes, that was the only eye contact Dante got from her, and huffed she didn´t care how Dante used this spare time and even if Dante was a half-demon Lady highly doubted he could read the minds of demon and say for sure they wouldn´t be attacking anymore. Last weeks had been so catastrophic Lady would rather stay at home and personally not to trust Dante´s intuition, especially when he now had got the Love Planet in his mind. Half-naked women did no good for any man´s thinking. The last phrase had made shiver run down on Dante´s spine and not to bothering to stay and see had Lady noticed it from his face, Dante grabbed his coat and left. He didn´t know what was going on at Lady´s mind, but he really hoped she hadn´t noticed any changes at him...



Waiting his turn to get in the bar Dante couldn´t help the feeling of disappointment. The half-breed had hoped Lady would come with him and maybe cheer up a bit or at least get that fiery nature of hers back, but being a gentleman (really) Dante didn´t want to force her to come. What if there was some barely dressed up girls dancing like the pole was their lover, Dante and Lady could took over the bar table or some smaller table from the dark, further corner. From a very dark, further corner, were no one would disturb them. The dim light would blind the eyes, leaving only their other senses alive. Dante narrowed his eyes imagining how Lady would smell next to him. It definitely would be some girly smell like... like... flowers? No, vanilla? Vanilla flowers? Or perhaps some juicy fruit or a berry...? The music at the bar was always so loud Lady would need to draw closer him to yell in his ear if she wanted Dante to hear what she was saying. Naturally, he would lean down to answer her, making sure his lips almost touched her ear, letting her know how near he was. Oh yes, that would me more than great...



The loud banging music hit Dante´s ears and the colorful neon lights blinded him for a moment as he stepped in the Love Planet. After seeing the show girls Dante wasn´t sure had this been the most right idea at this exact time, the agile movements of a young flesh being delineated on his hungry retina. To push that hunger away Dante navigated himself to bar table, sitting down on bar stool to get his eyes away from dancers. He ordered himself a double whiskey like always and took a quick peek around. No familiar faces this far, maybe he could sit here in peace.



The usual Friday ooze reached his nostrils and he inhaled deeply. Ah, the air was filled with the odour of booze, sweat and musky sex that drove him almost crazy right now. The ordered drink arrived and Dante took a swing of it. Damn, he really should have knew this wasn´t a good idea right now. He still would have needed to wait for few days, though this torture was almost over. Being a half-demon wasn´t easy in one special time of the year. Dante thought he had managed to keep it in secret from Lady (and others) quite well and hide the most of it behind his seductive, cocky attitude Dante usually had. Maybe it would became more easy to stand and not to get bothered by it when he grow older... Or at least he hoped so. The invasion of demons kept his mind – thank god even though Dante didn´t believe in such creature – in order and for once Dante was happy of being half human and only half demon. Otherwise he would be running around wildly like any other demons in that same invasion right now. Oh yes. The demons´ mating time. It brought them on the surface, looking for nutrition for their unborn offspring and humans to lay their eggs in them. Dante couldn´t believe the breeding time had started to effect on him, too. Oh well, human males become horny in puberty (and after it) but since he was now half-human AND half-demon, it hit him twice harder. Well, the puberty as a human male was over but his demon side was still maturing. Demons lived longer than humans, so the maturing also took longer and uhm... demons did had puberty. At least Dante´s kind of demons, the higher ones. Luckily Dante hadn´t lost his self control or sanity, but managed to live every day life just nicely if you don´t count that horny feeling that hit him now and then and those juicy images it send into his imagery... Dante was a bit afraid Lady had started to doubt something since she was acting so strange. He didn´t want Lady to think he would be ruled by his primal urges and try to sleep her or any other female just to get his genome to live further. Though he wouldn´t mind of the idea sharing his genome with Lady. She was so fascinating woman, different than the other ones he had met. Determined and strong, yet cute and attractive. Dante loved that elegant neck and those slim thighs. Oh, how he would love to caress that neck with his lips and set himself between those slim thighs...



Dante´s daydreaming soon stopped as he felt someone pushing against him. Looking on his side Dante noticed a familiar face of a woman. Curly blond hair, brown eyes and pink lipstick. An outfit almost as tiny as the dancers had. The woman just curled closer with “come here, honey”-look on her eyes that were framed with too much make-up. Dante mentally grimaced in pain. Why her, why her, why?! Dante had once been polite for her, letting her sit next to him when the Love Planed had been fully crowded and the woman next to him was complaining how she couldn´t find a place to sit and her legs were hurting already. Not to want to make a woman sit on a floor Dante had gestured her to sit next to him, squeezing himself in tighter to give her some room. They had changed few words and for Dante´s curse the woman had took his polite gesture as a flirt. Now she was all over him, every single time they happened to be at Love Planet at the same time. Usually Dante didn´t mind about woman company, it was better than company of demons, but this particular young lady was too much for him. Man, how Dante wished now that the real Lady was here!



“Hello sugar. I haven´t seen you around here for a long time...” the woman purred snaking her arms around Dante´s body. Not wanting to be rude Dante just grinned a bit, deciding that if he played the game with her, she might leave him be instead of running after him the whole night.



“I´ve been quite busy...” he answered trying to ignore those hands. His demon side didn´t need countenance and his human side was screaming “no”. Dante wasn´t that low life he would allow just anyone to have him, not even once, but the mating time gnawed at the back ground. But not this woman, no...!



“That´s too bad, honey. I missed you” she continued stroking his hair away from eyes with those fake, structure nails. “What has kept you busy then?”



For a second Dante didn´t know what to answer. He couldn´t say demon killing, neither working, because then she would ask what kind of job Dante was doing and if he answered taking care of vermin she would still ask what kind of vermin. An endless void. Dante quickly rolled that maybe upcoming conversation trough his head and found there was nothing he could say. Just as he was about to answer something brilliant like “nothing mentionable” Dante noticed a frame at door. To take a better look of this form he turned his head towards to door and for his joy he saw something he liked. No, loved right now! His ticket to freedom! The ticket that wore white tube top and simple black mini skirt with black shorts and few manly chains, red combat boots still on.



Lady quickly spotted Dante (well who wouldn´t with that red coat and white hair and that enormous ego?) sitting at the bar stool and of course, there was a woman next to him. No, glued on him. Lady mentally shook her head and decided to leave Dante be with that chick when she heard Dante calling her.



“Hey Lady! I´m here, come!”



...Like she wouldn´t have spotted him already...



With deep sigh Lady walked toward the pair and as soon as she was almost at Dante´s side he grabbed her on waist and pulled Lady under his arm. Before Lady had time to realize what happened she heard him speaking.



“Oh, good thing you came, honey. I thought you were feeling ill. I missed you”



Well that was confusing and like stirring that confusion more in Lady´s head Dante leaned quickly down, pulling her even closer himself and... kissed her. Right on her soft lips. The kiss was quick but slow at the same time, making Lady´s legs wobble. Not giving her time to recover from this sudden assault Dante kissed softly his way from Lady´s lips to her ear.



“Help me!”



The small whispered plea reached Lady´s ear.



“That bitch is driving me crazy” Dante hissed again into Lady´s ear, keeping his lips so close her ear the woman next to him couldn´t hear Dante´s pleas for help. “Just act, please!”



It took for a moment Lady to realize what was the deal behind this sudden act. A Small impish grin formed into the corner of her mouth. Like she would let him use her like that, that easily. Playing with Lady cost him. Lady remembered all those times when Dante had teased and annoyed her and a fanfare of revenge rang in her head. She turned her head closer Dante´s head.



“Have you any idea how much this will cost you?” Lady whispered back, placing her hand on Dante´s thigh that rested on the bar stool. She gave him a small squeeze.



Dante´s eyed widened for a moment, though Lady couldn´t see it but somehow she sensed it and boy, it made her feel good! All the seductive jokes would be returned now, she would take her revenge at this weak time of Dante. She gave his thigh another small squeeze.



“Well? Still on?” Lady smirked against Dante´s ear. For a second she thought feeling his cheek warming.

“Just get me away from this shit, will you!” Dante hissed angrily, too afraid to move or kiss her anymore or do anything. What he was afraid then, that Dante didn´t know. Was he surprised Lady didn´t want to help him freely but demanded payment or taken back for Lady behaving like this. Neither Dante knew was this a good or a bad thing, Lady resting her warms palm on his thigh and Dante pressing her deeper in to his lap.



Her breath tickled his ear and it made Dante blush.



“OK, but just this once. Big boy needs to clean his own mess” Lady answered and just to tease him a bit more (boy, the little demon in Lady loved this situation!) she bit him. On the top on the ear. That made Dante wince and Lady started to plot what other little tricks she would do Dante just for his confusion.



”Hey honey, who´s that?” the blond woman next to Dante, now a bit backed up, asked. Lady didn´t give Dante any time to answer, but spoke herself.



“I´m Dante´s lady. And you are...?”



The brown eyes grew wider in surprise.



“Oh...” she stammered “I didn´t know Dante had a girlfriend...” The true siren turned into a apologizing school girl. “I have no intention to hit on anyone´s boyfriend, I´m sorry.”



Both Lady and Dante were staring at her with wide eyes. Talk about change of personality!



“Nah, don´t worry. I´d shoot him if he were trying to get hit by other woman” Lady stated, laying her eyes on Dante´s face. “Wouldn´t I, love?”



Dante felt her slim fingertips caressing his hair away from face, the warm of her fingers touching his skin. He cleared his throat.



“Y-yes. Yes she would, she´s quite fiery in nature”.



“You got that right, babe. I can be fiery on anytime, at any place” Lady whispered and squeezing Dante´s leg again continued “but you know that,don´t you?”



Dante felt his mouth drying, for the first time in his live. Man, she was better actress than he had imagined!

“I´ll better go now...” the blond woman said turning back to the direction where she had came. Lady could feel the inner sigh that left Dante, but she stopped the blond.



“No wait, please. If you´re familiar of Dante I´d like to have few words with you. You know, our ladies need to stay at the same side, hmm?” Lady snickered inside of her head to Dante´s expression. No way she would leave it be, his torture was just beginning...



The blond woman looked for a while both Lady and Dante and it almost looked like she would refuse, but then she took a seat next to Dante. “I´ll guess I can stay a little longer” she chirped.



Ohoho, Dante was giving Lady a real cruel Bad Eye now, but Lady ignored it, making Dante to forget the Bad Eye by moving closer and snaking her arm under his coat to fondle his lower back. Lady shot a daring look on Dante´s blue eyes. Whatever Lady was planning to do it made Dante clear he should just follow quietly, otherwise he´d been thrown to lions. Or to a blond lioness. Not to let Lady dominate him fully Dante tightened his hold on her, giving her a deep stare back. Lady winced a bit in his hard grasp.



“You´re OK there, honey?” he grinned archly. Lady fumed and decided not be left to a second place.



“Just fine, thank you” she answered sharply lowering her hand to Dante´s inner thigh and then pushing her small hand up closer to his groins. The facial expression on half-demon´s face looked like it worked. To make her point clear Lady squeezed Dante´s thigh again.



“Would you order me something, babe?” Lady announced keeping the daring eye contact, but smiling so gently the blond woman would have no idea what kind of battle of wills they were having with Dante. If he imagined Lady would loose, Dante was badly wrong. And Lady needed to admit, she enjoyed this torturing more than it was meant, perhaps.



Dante couldn´t to anything but order the drink Lady wanted. He had been and still was willing to do anything to get away from that blond, but to be honest Dante had imagined a little kiss, a bit cuddling and calling Lady honey would scare the blond away and she almost left but no! No, Lady needed to stop her. What was wrong with her? Why was she even here?



Lady and the blond woman were talking. The loud music hid their voices and Dante had no idea what they were talking about. Both of the women leaned to other´s side over the bar table in front of Dante – he was completely ignored now. Or not completely, actually. Lady´s hand still rested on his thigh, like glued on it and Dante wasn´t sure was it part of Lady´s acting, the daring competition or was she just telling him without words to shut up and act or otherwise he would loose something very manly. Her another arm stayed still under Dante´s coat and against his skin drawing small circles with the fingertips. Dante only noticed those two small hands on him, nothing else. The music was lost, the whiskey tasted nothing, light were gone. Only small warm hands and he liked it. Lady felt so small under his strong arm and he followed her curves with hungry eyes. Damn, the white tube top suited her so well, but what better, the skirt looked even more nicer on her. The evil tough flashed in his mind. Without any note Dante gave a small, but sharp spank on Lady´s small butt. Lady yelped and straightened herself with a bounce, glancing on Dante´s grinning face with a murdering look.



“What are you doing?” she hissed like a snake ready to bite.



“Just acting and please, don´t yell so loud, she´ll hear you.”



“I don´t care about that bitch. She´s not my problem so take your hand off my ass or I let her have you.”

“Oh come on! You´ll liked it” Dante snickered and Lady felt how his ego just grew stronger. She narrowed her eyes but didn´t shove his had away. Well then. If Dante liked to play this rough, Lady would give him his play. But not loose!



To Dante´s surprise Lady´s narrow, icy eyes melted in a second. The killer glee was replaced by the most soft and yet most dirty look Dante had ever seen on her. Either he would hate or love like mad the upcoming. Lady leaned closer, placing both of her hand either side of Dante´s head and smiled softly.



“Oh, I´m sorry honey” she said so loudly the blond woman heard it, too. “I was so caught up with the conversation I forgot you. Let me.”



After the last words Dante felt Lady leaning on him, drawing her body nearer and pulling his head lower. Before Dante knew it, Lady´s soft lips brushed over his with so long, calm and passion filled way Dante though he could cry pure honey. Not caring was this Lady´s plot or something else he let Lady to kiss him, just sitting there doing nothing, enjoying the feeling. Lady licked and kissed his lips slowly like cat the milk plate, so invitingly Dante just had to kiss her back. Slowly at first, because he was sure Lady would shot him but when nothing happened – not a sound or a feeling of a gun – Dante folded his arms around Lady and pulled her closer.



Lady though she would drown. Drown into that hungry mouth, get lost in the valleys of his lips. The meant tease had turned against her. She first planned to give him one good seductive kiss to make Dante shut up and stare there blankly, but his lips where like from another world. Lady needed to explore them more, taste them and feel them and now, there she was, hugged strongly into his lap, lips traveling on each another slowly, deeply, softly. No time, no space. Just them. Lady´s heart pounded like it would die any minute, his curious tongue having a meeting with her own. She was utterly lost but so was he, too.



And she loved it. Every single second of it. The kiss invited her deeper into this madness, her hormones kicking in again. The woman next to them had disappeared and to where, Lady didn´t care. She was enjoying more than it was legal to, the way Dante smelled and tasted was more than godly. She needed to have him, have him a bit more. Not bothering to ask or say anything Lady slowly let his lips go, only to get annoyed murmur from Dante that was soon replaced with sharp gasp when Lady set her kisses on Dante´s jaw line, just under the ear lope. Oh god, how she loved his scent! So manly, a bit acid but exotic at the same time.



Dante couldn´t believe the happening. The Lady he knew had turned into a such vixen Dante would have never guessed it. He felt curious lips on his jaw line and instinctively arched his head a bit to right, to give Lady more space to explore. Oh god, Lady could explore his whole body with those lips if you asked it from Dante! Her arms held him closer, placed near his waistline, fingers caressing slowly and softly his skin, like they´d been chanted. Alluring lips leaving moisture marks on his neck, teasing the sensitive spot right on his crook of a neck not bothering to kiss it, but circling just above it. A whimper whisper ran down to Lady´s ear.



“Lower...”



That small plea snapped Lady out of her trance. What was she doing?! As quickly as it has started it also ended, Lady backing up from Dante´s neck leaving him yearn for more, soft hands escaping from his waist. Lady saw Dante´s questioning look and not to wait to hear what he would say or ask, she ran. Ran away. How could she do such a thing! Seduce him, seduce Dante! He was a half-demon for crying out loud. How the little joke had turned into a seduction, no, into a first state of foreplay? What had happened? Running down the streets looking for some empty corner of it Lady still felt Dante´s heat under her skin, heart racing up not willing to stop it´s fiery pounding. Finally she stopped and took some balance from the dead end prick wall. Lady breathed heavily, exhausted of the running. She had no idea how much she had ran. Lady just needed to get away from Dante, before she would do something she´d regret. The primitive urge to search him down and continue what had been interrupted throbbed in Lady´s body being boosted by the hormones. Lady had managed to clear her head a bit after Dante had left the apartment, but soon she had realized being bored and decided to hit the road, too. If Lady knew she would end up shaking in dead end street fighting against her worst enemy ever – the urges, the need and Dante – she had stayed at home. A small sob broke the gasping breath.



“I can´t go home” Lady sniffed a bit, being so embarrassed Lady was sure she would die if she needed to saw Dante again.

“What have I done?” Becoming mad to the fact she wasn´t able to control her sexual needs Lady´s sobbing was placed with anger. She hit the prick wall hard, causing a throbbing pain in her hand. She leaned her back against the cold, wet wall and sank down feeling helpless. She could never look him in the eyes again, never. Not after this. Oh dear god, now Dante wouldn´t let her be for sure, the flood of seductive jokes would be endless! Lady sighed and wished the ground under her would tore apart and devour her, but she couldn´t forget the feeling that was still creeping under her shivering skin. Lady wasn´t able to deny it – she had liked it. Liked kissing and caressing Dante, being in his lap, feeling herself like a true woman. A small smile flashed on a sad face. Man, she even made him plea. The hormonal side of her gave Lady a mental pat on back for such success and her reasonable part needed to agree with it. Then on the other hand Lady doubted it meant nothing in the end. Maybe Dante was just teasing her, too.



Feeling too tired to think anything anymore Lady stood up and dusted her skirt. Oh well. It would rain soon if the sky didn´t lie and she better find some place to stay for a moment to gather her strength and courage to face Dante again. Maybe they could just forget the whole situation and act like it never happened?
