The scorching sun in the Wrath Ring blazed through the windows bright and early in the morning. After a full night of rain, it finally decided to stop.
Tucker in the meanwhile was still fast asleep, that was until he he heard Verosika calling out to him. He slowly blinked his eyes open. Was it morning already?
Looking at his chest he saw Verosika still under the blanket, though she was wide awake. He was surprised she was awake before him, as she looked completely out of it yesterday.
"Morning Foxy~ sleep well. You should have, not everyday you wake up to a bombshell of a woman first thing." She said in a more sultry tone but Tucker didn't notice.
"Yeah good morning to you too—" Tucker stopped mid sentence and Verosika soon figured out why and couldn't help but giggle.
"What's wrong Foxy~ Cat's got your tongue." She asked in a teasing tone.
Tucker wanted to look away but couldn't, Verosika was now straddling him Naked!!! What happened to her shirt, he was certain she had it on when they went to sleep.
"Oh, well you see after you did that glowy warm thing I started to feel so hot, so I took off a few layers. I hope you don't mind." She said with a knowing Smirk. Was she enjoying this? Yes. Was she gonna stop? Hell No.
"Mhhhh~ Well what do we have here looks like your little friend just woke up too—" Now it was Verosika's turn to Pause. No way, no fucking way, don't tell me what I'm feeling is...its- its so Big, its not Little at all.
What the fuck, how is he still a virgin with such a Goliath. Tucker grunted a little when Verosika started to grind on him, her eyes sparkling with amazement and something more...primal.
"*Cough* So...since you're awake let me go make some breakfast while you get ready, your clothes were put in the washer and dryer so they should be good to wear today."
Not wanting to see what Verosika's continuous curiosity could lead to, he immediately lifted her up, causing her to Yelp. Which somehow sounded sexy instead of cute, and threw her into the bathroom.
Verosika couldn't help be feel disappointed.' What's wrong with him, I was clearly telling him we could fuck. He's clearly inexperienced so he might not have known what I was insinuating.'
She might need to take things a bit slower. Despite what's happened the past two days, she was still heavily depressed, and using Tucker as a rebound, or just because he was a Virgin...
No matter how much she wanted to fuck his little brains there and then.' *Sigh*
'I wonder...what's his type.'
As Verosika was freshening up in the Bathroom, Tucker was in the Kitchen. He had already calmed himself down and was now cooking up a big breakfast.
....
When Verosika returned to the living room, she was greeted by the delicious aroma of a hearty breakfast.
The table was covered in an assortment of foods—eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and a stack of golden pancakes and some pudding cakes?
"Hey, your back" Tucker greeted with a warm smile. "Hope you're hungry."
Verosika sat down, her mouth already watering. "You did all this?"
Tucker shrugged modestly. "Thought you could use a good meal."
"Thank you," she said, genuinely touched. She picked up a round pudding looking thing, drizzled it with syrup, and took a bite. Her eyes widened in delight. "These are amazing!"
Tucker grinned. "Glad you like them. They're Sun cakes, a dish I came up with when I was younger.'
Verosika took another bite, savoring the flavor. "This is incredible. I feel like I'm floating in a river sweeter than honey."
"I'm happy you like them," Tucker said, watching her enjoy the food.
Verosika flirted playfully throughout breakfast, but Tucker seemed a bit oblivious to it. He answered her questions and made her laugh with his goofy stories, but the flirting seemed to go right over his head.
"So, what's your plan for today?" Tucker asked after they had finished eating.
Verosika sighed. "I need to try and get in touch with my limp dick manager, but he's probably ditched or is dead. I need to get to the Lust Ring, where my home is. At least there, I can go a month without having to pay rent. But I have no money, and I won't be getting paid for my performances or royalties for another two months."
Hearing this Tucker didn't hesitate. "I can lend you the money."
Verosika looked surprised. "I can't accept that. I don't want to owe anyone anything. Especially after everything you've done for me."
Tucker shook his head. "It's not a problem. Consider it a loan. You can pay me back whenever you can."
After a moment's hesitation, she nodded. "Alright. But I promise to pay you back tenfold."
They both got ready to leave, with Tucker holding the door open for her. Verosika smiled, appreciating the gesture.
They made their way to the Hellavator, knowing it would take too long to get to the Lust Ring by coach.
On the way, Tucker asked, "What kind of music do you perform?"
Verosika's eyes sparkled as she talked about her passion. "It's a mix of pop, but recently I've been offered a spot with Asmodeus to perform at his club. I'm planning to write a few different songs, like jazz or soul."
"That sounds amazing," Tucker said, genuinely impressed. "I bet you'll knock it out of the park."
Soon, they arrived at the Hellavator. Verosika's elevator was leaving in two minutes, and Tucker's in ten. They stood facing each other, an unspoken understanding passing between them.
"Good luck, and be safe when returning. " Tucker said sincerely. "I also hope you find someone who isn't an idiot and knows how to appreciate a girl like you."
Verosika waved dismissively. "I'm over deadbeat imps." But in her mind, she thought, 'Now I have new prey in mind, and they're of the fox variety.'
As she was about to step into the elevator, she turned back. "Hey, Tucker, can I tell you something before I go?"
"Sure," he replied, leaning down slightly to hear her better.
Before he knew what was happening, Verosika pressed her lips to his, kissing him with a surprising intensity.
Tucker's eyes widened in shock, but he didn't pull away. The kiss lasted a full minute, their lips parting slowly, a bridge of saliva connecting them.
Verosika's eyes shone with glee, and she smirked at his stunned expression. "See you around... foxy~" she said, her voice dripping with playful mischief. She swayed her hips as she walked away, ensuring he watched her leave.
Tucker stood there, dazed, a piece of paper in his hand. He looked down to see a phone number and Sin-stagram ID scribbled on it. He chuckled to himself, watching the elevator doors close behind her.
"Not a bad ending to my trip to the Wrath Ring," Tucker mused. "Not a bad ending at all."
'And since her manager wasn't free I hope she likes the surprise I left in that envelope, I wish I could see her reaction.'
....
Tucker would later find out that Verosika had freaked out so much her whole block had ended up catching fire, while simultaneously causing a city wide blackout.
How this happened from her just reacting to the Invitation from Valentina...well that's a story for another time.
