Stygian Seduction (Hanta Sero x OC)

Chapter- 5 By Your Side

🕸️🕷️

Sero walked alongside Hawks in a rare moment of silence. The heavy footfalls of his booted feet were practically echoing through the silent night streets as they headed toward the abandoned dockyard.

Sero put his hands behind his head and sighed, "So where are we going?"

Hawks's golden eyes scanned the shadows, and Sero was well aware of the tension in the smaller man's wings even though his voice was bright as he chirped, "Just letting you meet your new team. Consider tonight as a little test run."

"Test run?"

"Yeah! You're welcome to consider this as an interview."

"Interview?"

Keigo scrunched his nose. "Are you going to keep repeating everything I say because it's kind of annoying, and I'm probably thirty times more patient than her?"

Just because he was a bit of an ass, Sero intentionally parrotted, "'Her?'"

From within the darkness, he was walking came a heavy plume of fragrant smoke. Sero's lips parted in shock as the pitch-black shadows were pierced by the few brave slivers of moonlight. Sitting atop a destroyed column of rumble was Elise surrounded by fifteen yakuza men who were all clearly armed. 

"Elise?"

Hawks's golden eyes shot to Elise's cunning smirking face so fast his blonde hair swished. "What? You two know one another?"

In between her index and middle finger was a joint that she brought up to her blood-red lips. She took in a long drag before blowing it out seductively. "What's wrong birdie? Surprised your little pet already has friends in the shadows?"

Sero frowned at being referred to as anyone's pet, but he remained silent as he tried to figure out what was going on between Hawks, the public's most loved hero, and Elise, whose entire being was shrowded in dangerous mystery. 

When Hawks didn't immediately come back with a silver-tongued reply, Elise stood up to her full beautiful height. The stark moonlight danced across her scantily clad form as she accepted her men's help to walk down to the ground. The man holding her hand delicately was one Sero recognized. His one-seeing yellow eye closed as he bowed ever so slightly in hello to Sero as he delivered Elise before them. 

"Hello sunshine," Elise purred arrogantly. 

Sero didn't enjoy being played for a fool, so he grunted, "doll, what's going on?"

"Just a little business meeting." 

"In a place like this?" Sero nodded toward the dilapidated docks. 

"Of course," she chuckled huskily. "This is where we usually meet up. No one is foolish to show up on one another's turf without a formal escort, and those always draw too much attention."

She took another long pull from the joint before holding it out to him with a challenging smirk. Despite the numerous pairs of jealous and suspicious men watching him like a hawk, Sero smiled down at Elise and happily took her offering. "Don't mind if I do. Thanks, doll."

Elise laughed in pleasant surprise. "Well well well, I guess our little hero boy isn't such a goodie two shoes after all."

Sero exhaled high above her head as he smirked down at her. "I rarely say no to a good time."

Elise basically eye fucked him before purring, "I'll keep that in mind."

"Please do~."

The man with the blind eye stepped up behind Elise. "They're almost here."
