Characters: Poseidon and Medusa
Date/Time: After check-in
Location: Bar of the Hôtel Jeu Ancien
Rating: TBD
Warnings: TBD
Summary: Poseidon needs a stiff drink and a reason to not drive a crack up the hotel wall.

No internet save the boards, no phone service and he was ready to ring the bellhop's neck if he didn't get more answers than this. He had things to think about, people to maim, and bones to break if nothing more was revealed. Twenty years ago he could have easily taken advantage of the time away and tracking down the first bitch to screw, but he had a daughter. While Poseidon wasn't dad of the year, he certainly wasn't a good father, but he held a sense of affection for that fifteen year-old brat. She'd tucked herself into that softer side that was reserved for so few people, and to know he had no way of getting in touch with her made him explosive.

The ground shook as he walked toward the bar in a new suit that had been laid out in his room. Right now he was ready to stretch necks as he approached the bar. If that bellhop was also the bartender he'd drag him face down across the counter. Nigel had mentioned that others were there, but he wasn't in the mood to have even noticed Medusa heading down the same hallway as he turned the corner.

She wasn't in a much better mood than Poseidon was. She apparently didn't even warrant a room off of the ground floor! There were responsibilities she had to the zoo! Her assistant would never be able to handle those snakes on his own.

Damn it!

She felt the floor rattling beneath her heels and recognized it immediately for what it was. She swore under her breath as she stopped in place and slowly turned around to look behind her. "Great."

When he looked to catch the heels and nice legs of the woman in front of him he almost laughed with sick amusement. Fantastic.

Jaw clenching he approached her, pulling her by her arm and up against the wall. "What do you know about this joint?" That look in his eyes was somewhere between lust and anger--both of which went hand in hand. At least she had no way to run away this time.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

She grunted when she hit the wall. That had actually hurt a little. Her head rapped against the wall and a small hiss passed her lips as she glared up at him.

Fuck, he was hot!

"Why are you asking me?"

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

His thin lips slipped back as he showed his teeth staring her down as if he could look straight through her. The imagery was great.

"You got here before I did, you've got to know something." He played his own rules, he didn't like being dangled like a puppet on someone elses string.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

She lifted her chin as she clenched her teeth together, hissing her words out past lips stained red.

"Even if I did know something why should I tell you?"

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

He inched in closer, his body but a breath away from hers, a shadow draped against her. His hand slipped around her neck, not yet tightening, thumb rolling down her chin.

"Because I'm not nice when you keep things from me." His agitation came from more than the situation but by the fact that she thought she had the right to be jealous over him.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

Her pulse was rapid. He'd be able to feel it with where his hand was, but her breathing had quickened to so that her breasts brushed against his chest with each inhale. It was fear and desire, a heady combination that only he could bring out in her.

"You're never nice." Her hand wrapped around his wrist as she looked into his eyes and shoved with her power.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

The hum of her pulse was intoxicating against him his other hand smacking against the wall beside her head, taking a deep breath he looked down on her. Something tingled his senses, as if she held some mesmerizing power in that gaze that she hadn't held before.

It held him there for a minute as if his heart could stop beating at any moment. His hand released it's grip on her neck sliding down her chest, grabbing the line of her dress, his index finger sliding down that curve between her breasts.

"Such a shame isn't it?" he rolled in that deep voice. Part of him wanted her to keep this up, it kept his mind off destroying things.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

She had him? She had him! She didn't know if he let her in or if she had grown stronger and him weaker...it didn't matter! She had him!

"Easy, baby." She couldn't let go of his eyes or she'll lose him. Then there would be real hell to pay, especially in this position.

"I like not nice, remember?" She pressed her chest towards him a little to keep his attention.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

There was a numbness in that gaze though he could still clearly move his limbs. It dropped a rock straight through him that kept him locked.

The hand that lay flat against the wall fell, moving against her shoulder and then down her back where the curve of her body didn't press against the wall. That little curve of her rump which he pressed against and pushed her forward with a slight chuckle and a grin.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

"How does it feel, baby?" She lifted from the wall in an attempt to make him step back. She needed room.

"How does it feel to not be in control?" She was pushing it here and she knew it. If he snapped out of it she'd have to run.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

He wouldn't give her the chance to run, nor the space she wanted. She could only hold that gaze but for so long, he was still the more powerful one here.

That grin turned a little more menacing with her arrogance pressing her back tightly between him and the wall.

He laughed at her question, nose running against hers. If she kept this up she was coming with him. She could do just as well as a stiff drink.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

Shit! She didn't have as much of a hold on him as she thought! She should have known better. This was Poseidon. He isn't prey.

But she had something. Unfortunately he was right. As soon as she had to blink she'd lost him. Fine. It might as well be on her terms.

She went with the slight touch of his nose and brushed her lips against his to see what he'd do.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

He stayed unmoving until her gaze dropped and he was released from that hold. Her lips brushed hers and he pulled her into a lustful kiss. His tongue lined her upper lip afterward with another chuckle before leaning to whisper in her ear.

"You'll never know if you really had a hold or I just let you in." Lips trailed down her neck just above the skin so his breath sent a chill up her spine.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

Her hands went to his shoulders but she knew she couldn't push him away. It was just a convenient place to hold onto. The kiss made her more pliant. She was always a sucker for him. She hated it!

She caught her breath when he let her up for air, her pulse throbbing in her neck and her voice came out low and throaty. "Either way I win."

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

"Oh?" he questioned with a raised brow taking pleasure in that high pulse she tried to cover with a low voice. "Do you?" he seethed pulling back and clamping his hands on her face.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

She let out with a quiet grunt when he grabbed her, her eyes furious. She sneered as best she could, her eyes literally flashing. "Yes."

Then she lashed out. Not at his groin as might be expected but more like her high heel to the arch of his foot.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

He'd expected some backlash from her and when she delivered he bit down on his lip, that hiss from the pound of her heel. If she thought she was leaving now, she had another thing coming. She may have stalled him, but that was all. The ground beneath them moved, he grabbed her arm, clicking his tounge.

"No."

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

"Yes!" She shouted that at him with her eyes paling. Her hair moved as if alive or caught by a sudden wind.

She pulled on her arm regardless of if it would release her or not. "Because if I did get in then that means I can. Babe." Her words were practically hissed out. "But if you let me in." She grinned and it wasn't nice. "That means you wanted me in. So either way. I win."

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

His jaw clenched his grip not relenting. "Watch that tongue, baby," his voice cold and wrenching. "You think too highly of yourself," he took a step forward pulling her back.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

She stumbled into him, sneering up at him over her shoulder. "Face it. I'm inside you. Under your skin. And you can't get me out because you don't want to."

She chuckled, her smirk becoming mocking. "If you let me go I'd be the one that got away. The one you couldn't control."

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

She was dangling that pretty neck too far, smiling with a confidence she dared to show. He chucked low hands molding to her hips with a grip just as tight. "No one gets away, sweetheart," he spoke low, "not without my vengence to keep them company."

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

"Exactly." She shoved her hips back sharply, a warning not an enticement, her grin growing. "Which means I still win. You want me or you wouldn't bother with all this melodramtic bullshit."

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

He did want her, to make her bend but just like that of her snakes she was defiant. Not completely resilient which is what both burned him up and enticed him. She rode that line quite well. Not enough to to please him, but just enough to get under his skin.

His grip stayed tight, bruising the skin under that sexy number. He clicked his tongue again shaking his head. "You have your own vendetta. Don't think I don't see it." A pause in his breath so that she'd hang on his next move. "Keep playing, honey and you'll get burned again." He shoved her forward releasing that grip and stalking past her.

[solid-gaze.insanejournal.com]

She stumbled with the push, her hand lifting to rub her arm where he'd had a hold of her. Her eyes narrowed as they followed him but then her lips curled and her laughter went after him.

"Not all of the players are on the board, but I'm patient." She smoothed a hand over her dress. "I just need one more. Then you're mine. Babe."
