Outlaw Star Fan Fiction ❯ Just The Way You Are ❯ Chapter 3

Outlaw Star doesn't belong to me in any way shape or form.

Just the Way You Are chapter 3. I promise the next chapter will have a GenexMelfina lemon. Promise, Promise, Promise.

Gene sat at the bar of Club Temptation downing what was his fifth shot of some new alien brew that the bartender had talked him into trying.

"Tastes like regular old whisky but without the kick." Gene snarled somewhat as he set the shot glass down and declined another. He wasn't even buzzed yet, course for him it would have taken more than five shots of any liquor to get him to that point. But then, it wasn't helping matters that with every swallow he thought about Melfina and the argument they had just had only an hour earlier.

Man why did I have to say those things? Call her a bitch? Shit, that was out of line. How can I ever face her again? Gene released a frustrated growl and clutched his head with his hands.

"You're an idiot Starwind!"

~At another end of the club~

"Hey babe. Didn't know if you were coming tonight. You're late."

"Hello Jason." Melfina said, resisting the urge to flinch away as Jason hugged her and took the opportunity to grope a fair piece of her leather clad ass.

"Leather. I like it." He released her from his embrace and held her back his eyes roaming up and down her body taking in her attire of black leather pants that rode low around her hips finished off by a silver sequenced halter top that was nothing more than a small rectangular piece of material that laid over her breasts held up by extremely thin straps that tied around her neck and upper mid-drift; she wore the same sparkling silver heels that she had worn the previous night.

"Hey darlin'. I got a couple of friends of mine I'd like you to meet. I told 'em all about you and they're wanting to meet you really bad." Melfina followed him; as if she had had a choice by the way he was gripping her hand in his and basically dragging her behind him.

"Why do they want to meet me?"

"They simply like to play as much as I do. I thought you could help them out." Melfina found her inner strength and stopped in her tracks yanking her hand from his.

"I will not play your little whore Jason." She caught her breath a little as he turned around and gazed straight into her eyes as if Lucifer himself was going to pop out and eat her very soul alive. He gripped her tight by the shoulders and dug in his fingers to the bone as he shook her once.

"Listen here Melfina." He seethed through clenched teeth. "You're going to be as good of a girl to them tonight as you were for me last night or I swear I'll find out who your family is and tell them all about their little princess who turned into my whore for the last two months."

"But I only met you last night." She furrowed her brows.

"Think they'll believe anything you say? You've already no doubt lied to them about coming here, or worse yet, have said nothing. So why would they believe a word out of that pretty little mouth of yours."

Melfina averted her gaze from his eyes momentarily to consider her options. At one time she would not have really cared if Gene had found out, in fact, that's what she had wanted, but she had never thought of how the others would react, especially dear, sweet Jim who saw her as a mother. He would no doubt be devastated and loose all faith in her or worse yet be disgusted with her to the point of hating her. She didn't know if she could handle that.

"O, okay." She whispered feeling the pressure from Jason's fingertips ease slightly hearing her answer.

"Good. Now come on. I've got a room reserved already."

Gene had finished a tall glass of burgundy colored ale and had decided that it was best for him to bite the bullet, swallow his pride and go back and apologize to Melfina, perhaps her anger with him wouldn't last to long. But as he was about to rise from his seat he suddenly felt a pair of slender arms wrap around his shoulders from behind and the point of a chin rest on the top of his shoulder. Hot breath and a feminine voice tickled his ear.

"Hey lover. You look kinda down tonight. Wanna go upstairs and "talk" about it?" Gene turned his body around enough to pull the girl into his lap.

"Hey, Rosie. Lookin' good tonight." He leaned into her and kissed her out of habit more so than desire and hopped off of the barstool allowing her to lead him upstairs to the private rooms.

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

Melfina was finding herself in the same situation she had found herself in the previous night. Standing behind the closed door of a room with Jason kissing and pawing her body. Only this time there were two other half clothed gentlemen there. One sitting down in a plush chair, the other one sprawled out onto the bed propped up to by his elbow.

"You weren't joshing us about what a nice piece of tail she is Jase." The man who had spoken was a blonde just like Jason only he wore the tips of his hair dyed black.

"Let's have her then Jason. You've kept us waiting long enough." The other male that was now speaking was much bigger then both Jason and the one on the bed and was clad in black leather and the light reflecting from the ceiling made his shaven head look shiny.

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

Gene's lips were sensually and slowly nibbling their way down Rosie's body as his skillful fingers worked on the buttons of her transparent blouse. It had been something he'd done happily and eagerly several times but tonight it just didn't feel right. He couldn't get into the mood knowing there was a rift still between him and Mel. He damned himself for still dwelling on their fight, realizing the only reason he still was, was because, Melfina, his Melfina was the only woman he wanted or would ever want. He hastily pulled away from Mindy and tuned from her.

"I'm sorry Rosie. I can't do this anymore." He heard the girl behind him sigh.

"Ever since you came back from your grand adventure I've sensed something different from you...sensed your distance." Gene slowly turned around to face her again.

"It's not you Rosie...it's just there's this other woman and she's come to mean more to me than I ever realized, and I..." He stopped his speech feeling her finger press against her lips.

"If anyone deserves to have love Gene, you do. I'm just glad to have been here to help you realize it. So get outta here will you and get whoever she is before she gets away." Gene hung his head.

"Rosie, I..."

"Don't worry about me." Her voice grew stern. "I'm working on my own plan to get outta this place. I've found someone too who's willing to take me away from it all. In fact this is my last night here. I was going to tell you...after."

"Good luck then, Rosie, I hope you have a happy life." He leaned over and gave her a peck on the cheek. "We'll, always have Club Temptation."

Gene simply smiled at her and stroked her cheek as Rosie drew away from him giving him the strangest look upon hearing his words. He knew the reference was lost on her; 'Jim and his recent passion for decades old movies,' the red headed outlaw thought. Gene was comforted though by hearing her sigh a small laugh.

"Get out of here will you." Gene spun around on his heel and opened the door giving the female a final wink. Closing the door behind him he felt another body rub up against his back, he turned around.

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

Mel squeezed her eyes shut trying her best to mentally take her mind off the situation at hand but the only place her mind ended up going was to thoughts of Gene. She realized soon she had been quite foolish and impulsive in her original plan and this was not what she wanted and she didn't have to take it. She used her bio android strength to push against the men that were trying to claim her body as their own.

"No Jason! I'm not doing this!" She sprang up from the bed thanking the heavens they had only managed to rustle off her top, which she promptly grabbed out from underneath them and began to tie back on as she ran to the door and yanked it open, knowing that despite Jason's yelling threats none of the men would leave the room in their naked states. Melfina slipped out the door slamming it behind her she caught her breath feeling a body push lightly against hers and she slowly turned around.

"Melfina?"

"Gene."
