C13: The Deal (Part 1)

Back in Kaede's mansion, Zhang Xingwei thrust into Kaede, his movements rough and urgent. She was exhausted from days of interrogating suspects, and he could sense it.

"These are the names you asked for," he whispered, his voice low.

Kaede's eyes met his, her expression tired. "Not today."

He paused, his movements slowing. "Why not?"

She shrugged, her body tense. "I'm tired of the routine."

He kissed her neck, his hands gripping her hips. "What do you want to do instead?"

Kaede sighed, her heart pounding. "Remember the plan we had before this?"

He groaned, his movements slow and deliberate. "The business meeting?"

She nodded, her voice low. "I want to shift to that."

He thrust into her, his eyes locked with hers. "Are you sure?"

Kaede's eyes met his, her heart pounding. "Yes. I want to catch the Vixen."

As he moved inside her, Kaede's heart pounded. She needed a change of pace, and she needed results.

She wanted to catch the Vixen, no matter what it took. And this was her best chance.

Zhang Xingwei's movements became faster, his hands gripping her tighter. Kaede's mind filled with determination.

She was ready to face whatever came next, armed with the info she'd acquired.

And as he reached his climax, Kaede knew she had what she needed to continue. The plan would continue, and they would catch the Vixen.

She closed her eyes, her heart pounding. This was just the beginning.

In the dimly lit alcove of the smoky bar, the bartender was deeply entwined with the sultry Fujiko. Their bodies intertwined, the sounds of their passionate embraces echoed through the otherwise quiet establishment. As they lay there, catching their breath, he whispered a piece of information that could change everything.

"My dear," he murmured, running his fingers through her silky hair, "I've just overheard some crucial intel. Kaede Nishihara, the ruthless crime lord, is holding a major business meeting with none other than Li Fangfang." He paused, looking into her eyes, "This could be your chance to take them both down once it for all."

Fujiko's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and intrigue visible in her expression. She pushed herself up and pulled away from him, her body glistening with sweat from their recent exertion. "Tell me more," she demanded, her voice low and urgent. "What do you know about this meeting?"

The bartender traced a finger along her jawline, a devilish grin spreading across his face. "The meeting is set to take place in a hidden location downtown tomorrow night. It seems Kaede and Li are planning something big, and the stakes couldn't be higher." He leaned closer, whispering the details into her ear. "You'll need to act fast and stay one step ahead of them. Are you ready for what's coming?"

Fujiko looked him straight in the eye, her determination unwavering. "I'm ready," she replied, her voice firm.

As Fujiko prepared for the dangerous mission ahead, the bartender couldn't resist the electricity between them. They couldn't help but be drawn back into each other's arms, their passion igniting once again. This time, though, their lovemaking took on a fierce urgency, reflecting their shared desire for control and dominance.

Their lips crashed together, tongues dueling as their hands explored every inch of each other's bodies. Fujiko's nails dug into his back, leaving red marks that would serve as a reminder of their stolen moments. The bartender's hands roamed lower, cupping her firm thighs and pulling her closer, driving her against him.

Moaning softly, Fujiko arched her back, her body reacting to his skilled touch. He lifted her onto the cold, hard surface of the bar, her legs wrapping around his waist as he thrust into her with raw intensity. The rhythm of their bodies grew frantic, mirroring the danger and excitement that awaited them.

Sweat trickled down their faces, mixing with the remnants of the smoky haze that filled the room. The bartender's breath quickened, and he whispered dirty promises into her ear, fueling their fire. Fujiko's eyes locked onto his, her face flushed with desire and lust.

Just as they reached their peak, the bartender paused, his name for the moment forgotten as he focused solely on their union. With one final thrust, he sent them both over the edge, their bodies trembling as they reveled in their mutual release.

As they caught their breath, the bartender gently helped Fujiko down from the bar, her legs still trembling from the intensity of their lovemaking. He reached for a cigarette, carefully extracting it from its silver case and offering it to her. With a flick of his lighter, the tip of the cigarette ignited, casting a warm glow on her face.

With a lazy smile, he leaned against the bar, one hand brushing her hair back from her face. "You're quite the challenge, Ms. Vixen," he purred, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "But I can't resist a beautiful woman like you."

She took a long drag from the cigarette, the smoke curling around her face like a veil. "And you, my dear bartender, are quite skilled yourself," she replied, her voice low and sultry. "Your information has proven invaluable, but I can't help but wonder how much you'll risk for me."

He raised an eyebrow, taking another drag from his own cigarette. "I'd risk everything for you, my dear," he said, his voice deepening with desire. "I've never met anyone quite like you before."

Fujiko's eyes narrowed, her gaze heated. "It's not just my beauty that attracts you, then?" she asked, a playful challenge in her tone.

"Oh, no," he replied, moving closer to her. "It's the way you handle yourself, the intelligence in your eyes, and the way you make me feel alive. Not the fact that you're the Vixen, the one who's troubling all the big crime lords. You're a force to be reckoned with, and I can't resist being a part of your world."

As they stood there, bathed in the dim light of the bar, the bartender's hand slowly trailed down Fujiko's arm, his fingers brushing against her skin. "You've made quite the impression on me, my dear," he said, his voice heavy with desire. "But I must ask, what will become of us after you've taken down Kaede Nishihara? Will you leave this life behind?"

Fujiko took another drag of her cigarette, her eyes never leaving his. "That remains to be seen," she answered enigmatically. "But I can promise you this: I'll make sure our rendezvous are just as exhilarating as our encounters here."

A sly grin spread across the bartender's face, his voice dropping to a seductive whisper. "And what if I were to offer you a proposition? A partnership, perhaps?"

Fujiko's eyebrows arched, a spark of interest flaring in her eyes. "A partnership?" she repeated, her gaze never wavering. "What exactly do you have in mind?"

His fingers trace the curve of her hip, the heat between them palpable. "How about we join forces? You have the skill and cunning, and I have the knowledge and connections. Together, we could take down every crime lord in this city and beyond."

Fujiko laughed softly, a smoky cloud escaping her lips. "You're quite the dreamer, aren't you?" She took another deep drag, her eyes shining with a newfound excitement. "Alright, partner, let's paint this city red. But remember, there's no going back once we start."

Li Fangfang paced back and forth in the dimly lit room, her frustration growing with each passing minute. The air was thick with tension, and her impatience was evident in her every movement. Her bodyguard, a burly man with a stern expression, stood nearby, keeping watch over the entrance.

"This Kaede Nishihara," she spat, her voice filled with venom, "thinks she can arrive whenever she pleases? Who does she think she is?" She tossed her cigarette to the floor, grinding it beneath her high heels. "I've waited long enough for this meeting. If she thinks she can toy with me like a pawn, she's sorely mistaken."

The bodyguard remained silent, his gaze scanning the room for any potential threats. Li Fangfang's words hung heavy in the air, her anger barely contained.

"I've been waiting for hours!" she exclaimed, her voice rising above the murmurs of the crowd. "And now, here I am, stuck with nothing but my thoughts and the stench of this place." She waved her hand dismissively, indicating the dingy hideout. "What kind of message does this send? That she couldn't even find a proper location for our meeting?"

The bodyguard finally spoke, his voice steady and calm. "Madam Li, perhaps we should focus on the task at hand. Regardless of her tardiness, we must be prepared to discuss our alliance when she arrives."

Li Fangfang's lip curled in disdain, but she knew he was right. With a deep breath, she composed herself and nodded. "You're right, of course. We must remain poised and ready for whatever she brings to the table."

They fell into an uneasy silence, waiting for the arrival of Kaede Nishihara and the fate of their alliance. Little did they know, Fujiko and her newfound partner were already lurking in the shadows, ready to strike when the time was right.
