Summary: When Alexandra goes to the warehouse to fight criminals, she has a close encounter with one of them.
The van was parked by an old warehouse. Alexandra spotted a broken window and squeezed through it, then quietly walked across the rafters.
Three men were putting diamonds and jewelry into bags. Two of them had their faces covered, but she could see the third one clearly. He had long brown hair, and wore a studded leather jacket with a red shirt underneath. She stared at him. Damn, he’s hot, she thought.
After one of the other men told him to go load up the van, the man in the leather jacket left the warehouse. She tossed a coin behind some shelves in the corner. One of the men began walking in that direction, and she followed him from above.
The man looked around. “Anybody there?”
“Now!” Dax’s hologram called out to her.
Alexandra dropped down and punched him from behind, knocking him out. She hid behind the shelves and waited for the other man to approach. When he came over, she jumped out and kneed him, knocking him out as well.
Suddenly Shrapnel emerged from the back room, came close, and began punching her furiously. She ducked and dodged, but soon he had knocked her into a stack of crates and landed on top of her. As he punched her, she reached up and poked him in the eyes, and he backed away in pain. She punched him until his stone face fractured. She continued punching his face until the stone mask had completely broken away, revealing his face. She punched him again, and the force of the blow sent him flying across the warehouse. He hit the wall, lost consciousness, and fell to the floor.
She felt her heart pounding from the adrenaline rush. As she took a deep breath, she heard a man’s voice.
“What the hell?”
She turned around and saw that the man in the leather jacket had returned. Their eyes met, and then she charged after him. He ran, but she soon caught up and pushed him against the wall. Her hands gripped his wrists, and she stared into his eyes. She felt herself drawn to him, and before she knew it, she moved her face close to his and began kissing him. He kissed her back and pressed his body close to hers. She could feel his excitement growing as his crotch pushed against her.
She lowered her hands and moved them across his torso. He lifted the top of her suit, then unhooked her bra and began caressing her bare breasts. She moved a hand to his crotch and unzipped his pants, then reached inside and grabbed his member. He was already rock-hard. He yanked down the bottom of her suit and touched her between her thighs. Her breathing became more rapid as he fondled her.
She leaned in, and he moved his hands to her waist and pulled her closer. He quickly entered her and began thrusting. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him deeply as they moved against each other. He moved a hand lower and began rubbing her clit. Growing more excited, she ran her fingers through his hair as he lowered his head and kissed her neck. She moaned loudly as she came, and moments later he followed.
As they pulled apart, he reached for her and gently stroked her cheek. “That was amazing.”
Before she had time to respond, she heard the sound of sirens. They hurriedly pulled their clothes back into place, and then she looked into his eyes. “You’d better get out of here.”
He leaned over and kissed her goodbye, then ran out of the warehouse. She flew off and headed back to her apartment, where Poppy and Dax were waiting for her.
Poppy and Dax. Oh no. In all the excitement, she hadn’t thought about the fact that they could see everything that was happening. She turned bright red as she faced them.
“What the hell were you thinking?” Dax shouted.
“I…I wasn’t. It…just happened.”
Poppy glared at her. “He’s a criminal! And a total stranger. Do you even know his name?”
She stared at the floor. “Uh…no.”
“And you just let him get away!” Dax shook his head in disgust.
“I’m sure the cops caught the other guys. And he’s new, so he’s probably not as involved as the others.” She knew that didn’t excuse her behavior, but she hadn’t had the heart to knock him out. What she had done may have been wrong, but in the moment, it felt so right.
