Today was really hectic,you grimaced. Your body was stiff and tired. You knew only one place would get you your energy and spirit back. It was no other than the Clover Bar - famous yet a diamond hidden among the more famed, making it perfect for people such as you who worked office jobs till late. 

You glanced at the clock. It was 9pm currently and the bar remained open till Three in the morning - meaning you had enough time to go change and get yourself ready for the party. 

You did. 

In the fourth minute, you were looking poppier than a blooming rose and were ready to rock and roll. The atmosphere was usually loud and crowded with a few drinking areas here and there. 

You walked through the crowd, your hips indefinitely swinged as you slipped your way in. Your eyes searched for a little lamb and when they landed on what you deemed ‘the perfect target’ you licked your lips. 

Time to have some fun. 

You had the man in your hold in about two minutes and you knew from the way he blushed and fidgeted under your presence , he was going to be adorable. 

You brought your arms around his back about to enrap his lips in the softness of your kiss but some fucker got in between you and you were pushed two steps away. 

The hell? 

You snarled looking up and gasped while your anger evaporated. Your cheeks flushed as you stared at the most gorgeous man to exist.

His bright blue eyes sparkled more than the gemstones themselves, your eyes flickered to his body, and you had to stop yourself gulping out loud. The shirt he wore highlighted those six packs and those bullying muscles. 

Suddenly it wasn't too bad that you got interrupted. 

“ Sorry about that. ” He said before running away. 

No introduction, no chat? And he ran away after ruining it for you! Your anger returned two-fold. Your fingers tightened around your hand and you scowled. Bastard. 

Your previous target came running back to you but you had lost all interest. You politely smiled and told him to leave you alone. Then you started searching for the man who ruined your night. 

Oh, you were going to find that Herulus incarnate and have him apologize on his knees. If that's the one thing you're going to do tonight. 

The fatigue from working all day at the office couldn't compare to the anger burning in your eyes. So much that you didn't notice a six foot tall man in front of you. 

You crashed into his chest and let out a yelp. “Ugh-” The man looked down and met your eyes. You became a shade of deep red. 

His eyes traced you up and down before he smiled politely. “ You alright?” You nodded. “ Yeah.”

“ Where was an angel such as you running off to?”

Was he flirting with you? 

Your eyes narrowed, he looked like your type. You scanned his face. not bad. Not bad at all. 

“ To deal with a Slithering weasel.” You darged back. He raised his brow,“Then he should be prepared to get skinned.”

“And roasted.” You added meeting his eye - your arms folded around your chest. “ I'm going to roast and steam him.” 

He smirked and an amused hum left his lips. “ Murder?”

You nodded. “ Murder.”

He laughed. “ Want some help?” 

You looked at him quietly and thought about the consequences. Yeah, a large man would do you some good if that man turned out to be shit. “ How'll you know what he looks like?”

His arm slid at the back of your waist and he pushed you forward. “ Well that depends on you angel.” Your hand wrapped around the fingers tracing your waist , before you smirked.

“ Aren't you a cute little thing?”

… 

Three minutes in, you had the man wrapped around your waist. He was looking at you with such hungry eyes, it was like he wanted to swallow you whole. You had to make sure not to moan too much or the next thing you'd know, someone would be filming you. 

His arms tightened around your thigh and before you could gasp, he kissed you deep. His tongue invaded your mouth, while his hand roamed under your skirt. You felt yourself flipping out. 

This man was good. 

You both parted from the kiss, his blue eyes had now turned a shade of green. His eyes had an uncanny hunger of a predator like he would swallow you whole. 

His face came closer to your neck and he bit at the very corner. You bit back and clenched the back of his chest. 

He had various scars, you felt. 

Your hand roamed through his back while he explored your front. 

Then suddenly you heard the man grow, “ Shut it…yeah-shit-I'm coming…” he was wearing comms you noticed. And with the final kiss he pulled back. 

“ I've to leave right now ,angel.” You hummed as he helped you straighten out your dress. He looked disappointed and you couldn't help yourself from giggling. 

“ Same time tomorrow, then?” you remarked, meeting his eyes. 

His eyes shined a shade of green. “ Would've missed it for the world.” he said, taking your hand in his and kissing it like you were the deity he worshiped. You looked at him Unamused. “ Without even telling me your name?” 

He blinked and then chuckled. “ Jason Todd. You?”

You flipped your hair walking off. “ Y/n L/n.”

You didn't look back to see the hunger and darkness in those green glowing eyes. Looking back on it, you wished you had listened to those alarms ringing in your head. 

But alas, Lust blinds the fool and Love fools the intelligent- and you had an abundance of both.
