In Alex Heller's luxurious penthouse office, the man himself was seated calmly at his desk.
Just as he prepared to close out his computer for the night and go home, the doors to his office were suddenly flung open.
Surprisingly, he didn't even bother to get mad.
There was only one person who was bold enough to enter his office like this unannounced.
Walking boldly into his office was a woman with waist length dark hair and mesmerizing violet eyes.
She had a pair of full cherry lips and a figure that was both enchanting and dangerous.
"I was just about to head home dear; you didn't have to come and get me."
The woman did not respond and instead walked seductively behind Alex's desk and found her place in his lap.
"I've got good news for you~"
"Oh? Do tell."
The woman removed a small flash drive from between her cleavage and inserted it into Alex's computer.
She then began to pull up a list of files and Alex's eyes widened when he saw whose name was attached to them.
"Honestly, I don't know why you bothered with that crusty old deadbeat. The kid's so naive that it's honestly a bit concerning."
Alex did not seem to hear the words of the woman in his lap and instead began to send all of the files to his phone.
"We need to release these right now. By morning that bastard will be-"
The woman suddenly grabbed Alex's phone and held her finger up to her lips. "Easy now, tattletale. Why are you always so wasteful?"
"What are you talking about, Joanne?"
The woman sighed before leaning her body back into Alex's chest. "Honestly, it's a good thing you're pretty. Now that I have him, I want to use him a bit, let him catch a few outstanding criminals and the like.
"And then... If you want, we can send him on a mission that he will not come back from."
Alex sighed before putting on his signature movie star smile. "Honestly... I should have just come to you in the first place!"
Joanne shook her head in denial. "You know that we have to keep our organization as legitimate as possible. There was nothing that I could have done before but now that he has placed himself in my hands, I'm more than capable of helping you."
Alex nodded before whispering seductively in Joanne's ear. "Still, you've done a good job. How would you like to be rewarded, my love?"
This earned an involuntary shudder from her and she quickly made her request known.
"I want them to hear me from all the way downstairs... You understand what that means, right?"
"I do indeed."
Alex suddenly bent Joanne over his desk and ripped her tight black dress.
Tattooed on her back, were the dark wings of an angel along with their intertwined initials.
"I'll be sure to make it hurt as much as possible."

Malachi had finally arrived at Sei's home at exactly his twenty minute deadline.
'Thank god I can teleport...'
Malachi knocked on Sei's door and it only took a few seconds before she answered.
Wearing a comfortable looking sweater dress that perfectly complemented her voluptuous figure, her beauty was almost great enough to give Malachi a nosebleed.
"You're here!" She said excitedly.
"I'm not late, am I?
As a response Sei stood on her tiptoes and gave him a small peck on the lips. "You're just in time, honey."
Immediately, his mood showed signs of a drastic improvement.
He didn't want to think about the organization he'd just been blackmailed into joining, for right now all he wanted was to ogle this beautiful mature woman for the rest of the night.
Sei quickly pulled him in to her house and closed the door behind them.
The two quickly made their way to the dining table where they began to unwrap the food that Malachi had brought.
Just as the two of them prepared to sit down and eat, Serana emerged from her room, summoned by the smell of food.
"Oooh! Mal brought blue lobster? Don't mind if I-"
Sei: "We're having a dinner date, Serana."
Malachi: "You're not invited."
"What!? Then what am I supposed to eat?!"
"There's some cereal in the cupboard?"
"Mom!"
The two of them laughed in amusement as Serana's cheeks puffed out more and more.
"We're just joking, Serana, Your food is in the kitchen." Malachi said.
"But we really do want to be alone." Sei reminded.
"Hmph, I didn't want to eat with you two lovebirds anyway!" Serana said as she left the two of them alone.
Once the sounds of ravenous chewing were heard from the kitchen, the two chuckled in silence as they began to enjoy their own dinner.
Eventually, the two moved to the couch and nestled closely together as they drank wine and laughed.
Finally, after spending a lot of time observing him, Sei questioned Mal on his recent changes.
"You seem a bit different tonight, honey. Is there something the matter?"
She couldn't help but notice that mal was no longer wearing his glasses and seemed to be a bit more quiet than usual.
Even though he seemed to be okay, she could not help but think there may have been something wrong.
"There isn't." He said as he pulled her into his embrace.
He did not want to worry Sei with talk of what had happened tonight.
While he had already accepted it as a reality and a consequence, he knew that she would have a hard time with him undertaking such a dangerous job.
Entering into gates was one thing, as most monsters lack intelligence and strategic thinking.
However there was no limit to the amount of traps and tricks that humans could play.
Any one of which could be the reason why Malachi's life was cut short.
Sei wanted to press harder but with Malachi's warm body against hers and his inviting scent filling her nostrils, she couldn't.
And when Malachi brought his lips down to meet hers, her mind was totally cleansed of unnecessary thoughts.
Normally, Sei would not hold their kisses for long before she inevitably pulled away.
But tonight for some reason she not only did not run, but she also let her hands wander.
Malachi's eyes became as big as saucers as he simultaneously checked with his hearing to make sure that Serana had gone back upstairs.
When he was certain that they were alone, he pushed Sei back onto the couch and hovered above her, his mind focused on only one thing.
"Sei, do you..."
