Venom

 It was approximately nine-thirty when Jei stepped out of his small apartment wearing of all things, a dress. It was the best disguise he could come up with his limited resources and the fact that there was another man in the apartment. He paused for a moment and waved at Matt then placed a roll of bills inside his dress. If anyone suspicious was watching, he wanted to come across as a lady of the night. He walked slowly but steadily in high heels, glancing around in order to spot Wolfbane. He saw the outline of Wolfbane inside the shop he lived under and nodded his head slightly. Matt would be safe. Of course, he told himself, telling the story that Wolfbane was a trigger happy gangster who would shoot at the first sign of movement helped keep his investment in place. Plus, that story wasn't ENTIRELY false.

 Jei walked to the corner of the street and waited for a cab. He hated having to dress like a woman but when the situation was drastic, a drastic disguise was needed. He ran a hand over his left ear and sighed. Why did women have to wear large earrings? He glanced across the street where a lone man was walking and watched him turn the corner. Hopefully, that wouldn't be possible trouble for Wolfbane. A cab slowed down and came to a stop at the corner. Jei opened the back door and got inside. The cab driver grinned as he watched Jei and Jei said nothing. Men.

 "Where to, missy?" the driver asked and Jei cringed slightly. He disliked how men treated women.

 "I need to go to the Pointe," Jei replied in a falsetto voice. The Pointe was the closest club to the lair and even with the possibility of being stopped by men who were looking for favors, he would most likely arrive at the lair on time.

 "Some guy's going to get lucky tonight, isn't he?"

 "Perhaps," Jei replied smiling slightly. That wasn't a COMPLETE lie. From what Wolfbane had told him, it was obvious that Rane was expecting more than an information exchange. Jei thought about the name he used to call Viper and shook his head. Savage. Casually, the name didn't fit him but get him in an intimate setting and his whole personality would change. Viper was not to be toyed with in the bedroom and Jei had learned that the hard way.

 "Traffic's pretty light. We'll make good time. That should make your man pleased," the driver commented and Jei nodded his head. The sooner he got there, the better.

***************************************************************************

Viper sat on the floor encircled with holographic images. He gazed at the information again and sighed. Things were not looking good. If he had pieced together the information correctly then they were sitting in the middle of a global conquest plot. The syndicate with its connections all over the world was planning to do away with every country's government officials. The one selected to take the helm of the new world order was none other than...Venom. Venom had to be destroyed once and for all but getting to him was going to be a challenge.

 A sound outside the door made Viper alert and he quickly shut his system down. It was most likely Jei but he wasn't going to take any chances. Viper stood up and picked up a gun that lay on a nearby table. He slowly walked towards the door and glanced through a small hole. He blinked his eyes and looked a second time. A woman was standing there looking quite put out. A woman? Viper wondered as he tried to see if she was carrying any dangerous items. What was a woman doing there? The nearest club was the Pointe and that was at least three blocks away. Was she one of Venom's people? His phone rang and Viper scrambled to answer it.

 "Hello?" he asked in a low voice then ran back to the door and stared out the hole again. "Is that you, Stallion? Don't use that tone with me. What am I supposed to think when I see a woman at the door? All right, I'm letting you in."

 He unlocked the door and watched as Jei stepped into the hall. Viper quickly shut the door and locked it as Jei took off his shoes. Viper watched as Jei removed the dress and blinked his eyes when he saw that Jei was wearing nothing but a pair of silken shorts underneath. Jei ran his fingers through his hair a few times then walked further into the lair. Viper followed him, opening and closing his mouth as he tried to find the correct words. Jei glanced back at him and shook his head.

 "If I had worn actual clothing under this, it wouldn't have looked as authentic," he said the glanced around. "Do I still have clothes somewhere in this place?"

 "In the bedroom but let me tell you about what I found out first. If I don't, I'll forget all about it," Viper said and Jei nodded his head.

 "You can get quite forceful, Savage."

 "You remembered it. I'm glad. I'll tell you what happened in Mercury City after I tell you what I found out."

 "Can I get some clothes on first?" Jei asked and Viper looked at him.

 "Why? Aren't you just going to take them off eventually?" he inquired and Jei shook his head.

 "I guess Wolfbane was right."

 "About what?"

 "He said after the entire incident happened, you refused to see anyone else."

 "I was busy. I didn't have time for anyone else."

 "Really."

 "You don't believe me, do you?"

 "I know your personality. That's why I couldn't believe you did what you did in Mercury City."

 "I'll explain about that. Let me explain about this first," Viper said as he walked over to where his computer lay. He sat down on the floor and began typing on the keyboard. He placed his hand up to the screen for a bio-scan then brought up several holograms around him. "According to this data, Waters is informing Venom of the steps made to conquer the globe. Waters has a huge network stretched out from Mercury City and he's just waiting for Venom's word so he can start the murders. Waters estimates that it will take only four days for him to kill and replace every government official in the world with one of Venom's men."

 "National security needs to be informed of this," Jei said and Viper looked at him.

 "Do you honestly think they'll believe us? We aren't exactly on the best of terms with the NSA. Well now that you know what's going on, what do you say about going to the bedroom and discussing some other things?"

 "Like your new way of interrogation?"

 "What about you and Matt? You two looked pretty close in the hotel room."

 "I was drunk," Jei replied then spun around. "You were spying on us?!"

 "I wasn't but Nightshade was keeping tabs on you. He followed you from the club to the hotel. The only reason you didn't sense him was because you were drunk," Viper said and Jei clenched his hands in anger.

 "He saw everything, didn't he?"

 "I'm afraid so. He said he couldn't understand why I just let you go because of the Mercury City incident."

 "All right. We're even. Just don't do that again for whatever reason."

 "Does that mean I get to hold my investment again?" Viper asked as he pressed a hidden switch that opened a sliding door. Jei stepped into the bedroom and stared at it. Nothing had changed from the last time he had been there. Viper pulled off his shirt and dropped it on the floor. Jei walked over to a cabinet and took out a bottle of wine from inside. He took two glasses from a tray and walked over to the bed where Viper was already making preparations.

 "Do you feel horny, Stallion?" Viper inquired as he put on a collar that lay on the bed.

 "I can't stay here all night. Matt's still at my place," Jei replied and Viper glanced at him.

 "Wolfbane will call if something happens. But if it'll make you feel better, I'll send some more men over there. You get ready while I make the call."

 "Just don't take forever, Savage," Jei said and Viper grinned.

 "Oh I won't. I've been waiting for this for quite a while," Viper replied and walked out of the room.

 Jei sat down on the bed and ran his hands over the blanket. He had never thought he would see this place again. He had been so sure that Viper would use it with his new partner that he had forced himself to forget about the lair. Perhaps not forget, he speculated, but deny. He could never forget what went on at the lair, but he could deny that it ever existed. He lay down on the bed and thought about what Rane had said. The entire world...why would anyone want to control the entire thing? He shook his head as he closed his eyes. He had forgotten how comfortable the bed was.

 "That's all taken care of," Viper said as he stepped into the room. "I think it's sweet that you're waiting so patiently for me, Stallion."

 "I was just thinking," Jei replied as Viper walked over to a cabinet and began searching through the contents.

 "What were you thinking about? Don't sit up, Stallion. I'm almost done."

 "Don't do it too hard at first, Savage. It's been awhile since we've been together."

 "Well I think that's exactly why I should punish you. You're the one that jumped to conclusions."

 "You could have tried to explain it to me," Jei said as Viper chained his hands to the bed. He then picked up a blindfold and tied it around Jei's head. "Oh you're really pissed off aren't..."

 Jei's sentence was cut short as Viper placed a gag into his mouth. Viper stepped back and admired his work. He clapped his hands slightly as he sat on the edge of the bed.

 "Now you know how this works. I'm not going to say anything and you've got to show me your excitement level with your body."

 A siren wailed off in the distance as Viper began his work. Jei cringed slightly as Viper removed his shorts. Viper pinched his groin slightly and Jei stiffened in pain. Viper grinned widely as he towered over Jei and kissed his neck. Jei felt cold, metallic studs pressing into his body and tried to frown. Was Viper or now more accurately, Savage, wearing a harness? Viper gently bit Jei's neck then slowly began making his way down to Jei's groin. He stopped at Jei's nipples and squeezed them hard enough to send signals of pain shooting throughout his nervous system. Viper then sucked on each one, as if apologizing for the pain and Jei shifted his body. He was getting anxious for the final performance.

 Viper watched Jei's movements and shook his head. He was not about to let Jei get his way. He sat back and began stroking himself as he watched Jei. Jei heard Viper's soft moans and tried to show his displeasure. How dare he? How dare he satisfy himself and leave Jei immobile? Viper watched Jei struggle for a moment then crawled back onto him. He placed his mouth over Jei's groin and Jei immediately became alert. Viper moved his mouth up and down Jei's groin, slowly at first then gradually picked up speed. Jei felt his senses come alive as his excitement level grew.

 He could feel his muscles tighten as Viper began sucking on his skin. His body felt like it was on fire and he knew that he was getting hard. He wanted to scream, he wanted to moan. He wanted to release everything he had. Viper watched him for a moment, sensing his frustration. He withdrew his mouth and placed his hands on Jei's crotch. Jei protested slightly and Viper smiled. He knew exactly what Jei wanted but he felt like making Jei suffer for a bit. Jei arched his hips up, as if he were trying to force Viper to take it. Viper complied then drew away and wiped off the residue still on Jei's muscle.

 "Well that was fun. You looked so funny a couple of times. All right. I'll set you free," Viper said as he unchained Jei's arms. Jei sat up and rubbed his wrists for a moment then untied the blindfold. His pale amber eyes were clouded in anger as he took the gag out of his mouth.

 "You were cruel Rane," Jei said as Viper sat beside him.

 "I'm just living up to my name. If I apologize, will it make you feel better?" Viper asked as he kissed Jei's mouth. The phone rang and Viper picked up the phone as Jei rubbed his sore wrists again.

 "What?! No, I understand. Just locate the ones that escaped and meet me at headquarters," Viper said and Jei looked up.

 "What is it?" Jei asked as Viper turned off his phone. 

 "Your place somehow got bombed. Matt was killed and Wolfbane was seriously injured. Nightshade was able to get him to the hospital but you don't have a place to live now. Well it looks as though you'll be living with me now. Won't that be fun?"

 "Savage, I don't know if I could handle being around you all the time."

 "What do you think you're doing?" Viper asked as he began taking his harness off.

 "I'm going to bed," Jei replied as he pushed back the blankets.

 "No you're not. You're coming with me. You're in this too you know. Now get dressed and dress like Cobra not Jei or my Stallion. We can sleep after the meeting."

 "So you'll refrain from calling me Stallion, Rane?"

 "As long as you stop using my real name."

 "Fine. Let's get ready."
