Double Gun Dealer Boxed Set

by Rue Volley

  I lay there as she was asleep on my chest and looked down at her, her face like an angel and lips so full and needing attention. I could honestly love her and of course, like most things in my life she was never to be mine although I would never turn her love away if she offered it again. I adjusted slightly and she opened her eyes, sat up and started to dress. She stood up, walked to the window and watched the sun start to fill the sky with pink and purple hues. Then she turned back to me.

  “I will say thank you Ethan and you can leave now.”

  I sat up and stared at her, not ready to go, but with nothing to counteract her wishes.

  “I …thank you Izzy.” I said and I slid out of the bed and pulled my pants on quickly. I had been a dick for so long that the act of it being done to me was a shock to my system and I left her room saying nothing, as I could not think of anything that would matter. She did glance at me as I closed the door but her eyes said nothing to me, I was just filler for a lonely girl who needed company as I have been many times before. But with Izzy it felt different and I need to fucking shake it off, because this is no good to me at all.

  I swiped my leg and knocked my opponent down and smiled as I held my fist tightly and almost hit him. The irritation of rejection was weighing on me and even though I thought fucking her would clear my head and allow me to “wake “up, I did not and what a fucking joke. I unclenched my fist and held my hand out as my partner grabbed my hand and let me pull him up.

  “You should learn to just go for it,” he said as she shook his head and walked away from me and I know he is right. If I just give in to the hunter side of me and the anger, and shed the emotions, I can join them in this fight against a plight on the world.

  Izzy entered the room and stretched her arms and back and then lowered to the ground and stretched her legs. I tried to not watch her but I always do. It had been two weeks since we fucked and nothing. She cut me off with nothing to say at all. I mean shit! To some men that would be a fucking blessing but not this, I really was starting to not care about having sex with her again but I would enjoy the mere company of conversation. She is a bright woman, a complete badass and so out of my league. Sounds like I just summed my sorry ass up. Then she looked up as the doors swung wide and three hunters came running to her and she left quickly as I watched with confusion. As the murmuring continued I had to follow as they all started to leave the room. Once I stepped out, a woman, probably all of twenty-one, was speaking to her and then Izzy looked down, then around at everyone.

  “It seems there is a problem in the city of Saigon and I have to leave. Demons are attacking humans and it is becoming a problem.”

  I stepped up as she started to walk.

  “Let me go with you.”

  She stopped and laughed a bit. “You? You are not even awake yet Ethan you would slow me down.”

  “You said they are eating humans, well by all rights I am still human so I can be bait,” I said and she stopped and turned back to me.

  “Huh.” She said and I shook my head.

  “What?”

  “You may be onto something, I mean you will smell human and once they get closer it will confuse them as you have hunter’s blood in you. Fine…get ready to leave.”

  She ran down the hallway towards her room and I stood there as other hunter’s looked at me.

  “Nice knowing you!” one yelled out and they all laughed.

  “Shut up, no one else was brave enough to go with her.”

  The laughter stopped and my sparring partner stepped up to me.

  “Izzy does not have to hunt with anyone, she is totally fine on her own. I have known of her to take a whole nest of 20 or more on her own with no help at all.”

  “I heard it was 35…” another hunter said and the man turned to him.

  “Oh for fucks sake, it was 20.”

  I shook my head and ran down the hallway, ready to leave and help her anyway that could.

  We sat on the plane and I strapped in. Izzy knew too many people, connections like this man with the military bomber. She grinned at me as I looked about to lose my lunch.

  “Never flown?” she said to me while she laughed as I leaned forward when the plane began to move. I tried my best to just not throw up right there but my stomach flipped as we fought the gravity of the earth and I did anyway. Izzy rolled her eyes and leaned back, taking a nap like nothing bothered her at all.

  The ride took forever and when I say forever I mean it took 10 years of my life with it. Izzy slept up until someone came running up to her, yelling something about a drop something and pointing down. She stood up and yawned waving at me to stand and I raised an eyebrow in total confusion. The man who woke her up started to dress me in a backpack of some sort and Izzy placed hers on too and walked to the back of the plane as the large end started to open and I started to back up in sheer terror. She turned back and shook her head, running to me and dragging me along as I tried to yell at her to stop but it did not matter. She was stronger than me, which I hated. Then she stopped tugging and I stood there like a frightened child as she placed goggles on me that made me look like a mad scientist. I opened my mouth and she winked at me followed by a hard slap to my backside and I flew out of the plane, spinning and screaming as I plummeted towards the earth at a blistering speed. Then she grabbed me and held me close but I thought she was being all loving, but no, she jerked my cord and I flew upward and the straps on my crotch damn near severed my bits. I hissed and moved my legs as she flew up next to me, having pulled her cord too and then down we went into the thick forest. I have no talent for this shit and ended up in a tree and she floated to the ground with the grace of a cat and I hung there like a dick. She looked up and grinned at me.

  “Of course.”

  I shrugged my shoulders and she jumped up, grabbed my foot and climbed up me like a spider monkey and grinned as she pulled a knife and started to cut above me. I looked up and started to yell but she jumped from me and onto the tree and I hit the ground and a lump, kicking up a bit of dust. She hopped down next to me and held a hand out and I took it. At least she was noticing me now. I guess the fact that I do have a small bit of courage made her happy but then she reached up and I got caught up looking at her again and she jerked the strap from me and I almost fell.

  “Take it off, it will make you blister.” She said as she glanced down and I listened to her. I don’t need any more damage to me, I really don’t.

  We walked for an hour until we saw lights and I knew we were heading into what had to be a city of sorts. Saigon is not exactly cutting edge yet but I bet it will be someday. I do know enough that it is in military turmoil and I had no idea how we would be dealing with that and demons but I trust her, I have too. I think I fucking love her and I know... fuck me.

  Izzy held her hand up and we lowered to the ground as military went by and then she stood again and ran out, dragging me with her. Everything smelled of musty old socks and mildew and I covered my mouth a bit as we ran across the dirt road and towards the civilian part of this foreign land.

  “Okay, listen. We are going in there and you clip this on and you are Ethan Bradbury, SGT in the 1st airborne. Got me?” she said as she gave me a clip badge and I placed it on. We ran to the side of the building and stopped and she pulled me in the alley and for a moment I was excited hoping she wanted to get a quickie in. She started to strip and I unbuttoned my shirt and she slapped my hand as she pulled her jumper off to reveal a nurses uniform which was hot as shit. I buttoned my shirt back up and she laughed at me.

  “Did you seriously think we flew half way around the world so I could do you in the alley?”

  “No.” I said all indignant but she was right, I am an asshole.

  “Come on,” she said as she stepped out and adjusted her hat and walked along side her. Then she pulled her gun, muffled the end of it and shot me in the side. I screamed and she caught me and two guards noticed us and ran out as I l
imped along hissing and shit. They reached us and she started to act a bit panicked.

  “He is seriously wounded and we need asylum,” she said. They grabbed me and pulled me along and she followed tucking her gun away safely and I wanted to yell out ‘YOU BITCH’ but the pain would not let me.

  Once inside I was taken to the infirmary and looked after while Izzy wandered and I was pissed, I honestly was. I mean we could have walked up to the doors and shit and seeing that we are not from Saigon they would have allowed us in, but I almost felt like she harmed me out of spite.

  After being bandaged up and a painful dig in my side by a less than caring doctor, I had fallen to sleep on a slow morphine drip when I was woken up by Izzy who shook me, and I coughed and she came into focus.

  “What the fuck?” I muttered and she jerked the IV from my arm and helped me up, I almost fell over but she stopped me and pulled a glowing orb and cracked it with her fingers, smearing some on my side with the same gentle hand as the heavy handed hack from earlier. I suddenly felt better and I looked down as the gash healed and then I sat up straight and felt a burst of adrenaline, not unlike when you about to cum. I took a breath and shook a bit, hanging onto the bed and Izzy leaned down into my face.

  “Focus, let it settle in you and you will be fine Ethan.”

  I took a breath then another and then stood up as she stepped back. I pointed a finger at her.

  “You fucking shot me!”

  She shushed me and looked behind her.

  “I had things to do.”

  “So what? You shoot me to keep me in one place.”

  She tilted her head and grinned at me.

  “Well yeah, and we needed in here without them paying attention to me.”

  “Oh great, glad I could help,” I said and she sighed.

  “Seriously, you need to get past this crush.”

  I laughed.

  “What? What crush, you are ridiculous.”

  She eyed me and raised an eyebrow and I crossed my arms on my chest which a surefire sign of being uncomfortable.

  “Come on, I know where he is.”

  “He who?”

  And she was out of the room and I ran after her with no other choice.

  She led me through winding hallways and finally we reached a door that had a serious lock on it, as in a bank vault looking thing and she handed me her guns and started to try to turn it and smiled at her.

  “Maybe I should…”

  And I heard a creaking as the handle started to go and she continued on, twisting it and breaking it off and placing it on the floor. I stood there with my mouth open a bit and she took her guns from me.

  “I am so glad you did not do that in the bedroom.”

  “Shut up.” She said and she looked at the door.

  “Open it up, slowly,” she said and I did as she held her guns up and stepped into the darkness as I stepped in too and shut it behind me. She stood there with guns out in front of her and we both heard a throat clear.

  “So…are you going to kill me or what?” the voice said and Izzy took a breath almost as if she was relieved.

  “I am just as you, I am here to help you,” she said and then she stepped back as we heard footsteps and out of the shadows stepped a man, our age, with shaggy dark hair and some stubble. He looked at me and then back to Izzy.

  “He smells funny,” he said and Izzy smiled.

  “He has yet to wake up.”

  The man looked at me and laughed a bit.

  “How can you not?”

  I rubbed my neck and looked at Izzy who did not take her eyes from him.

  He looked back at her and smiled.

  “I know your face,” he said, and with that she lunged at him and kissed him as he slipped a hand to the small of her back and held her close to him. The kiss was real, the feeling almost a tangible thing in the air around them. I cleared my throat as the kissing continued and it may become a third wheel situation if it persists.

  “I am sorry but…” I started to say as I stepped forward and he grabbed one of her guns and had it to my face, close enough to kiss my lips and I raised my hands slowly as he stared me down and Izzy hugged him.

  “He is not harm to you or I, Sai,” she said, and I looked him over as he finally lowered it and then stepped up to me, smelling me a bit.

  “Whatever it is you think you have for her it ends right her right now, she does not belong to you,” he said, and I opened my mouth as she shook her head ‘no’ behind him.

  “Sure, yeah…I mean she found me, that is all.”

  “Uh huh,” he said as he kissed her again and then they started for the door.

  “Wait, I mean are you a hunter?”

  He stopped and laughed.

  “I am Saigon, I am not only a hunter, I am a tracker and Izzy’s mate,” he said and I followed them out remembering what they had told me. No two trackers live for long, only one at a time, but what the fuck was he doing here awake already?

  ****

  We escaped into the city with little to no problems and hid away in a hotel of which I was sure was a brothel. I know the smell of sex as I had lived it forever and as I leaned on the wall and little women passed me by with no tops on, all I could hear was Izzy screaming in the room behind me as Sai fucked her. An hour later he opened the door and I looked back at him as he smiled at me. Izzy was lying on the bed half naked sleeping and I could not help but notice, so he stepped out shutting the door behind him.

  “So you just stood here and did not find someone to fuck, huh?”

  I shook my head and looked down the hallway as a couple of women giggled and ducked into a room with a man who looked happy as could be. I stood up straight as Sai seemed a bit taller than me and it suddenly bothered me.

  “So, what the fuck?” I asked him and he glanced at the door and stepped away, waving at me to follow and I did.

  We sat in the café of sorts and drank from small porcelain cups that packed a serious punch and I as I slammed the 4th one back my head felt a bit heavy but I was still okay. I had done much worse to myself with liquor.

  “I love her,” he said as he looked down and I leaned up and stared at him.

  “I could kind of see that.”

  He looked up and had a serious look on his face.

  “I mean, she is everything to me. Why do you think I am here?” he said and I narrowed my eyes.

  “I have no fucking clue, it smells like wet dog.”

  He grinned and studied my face. “I came back to the place I woke up in, as a hunter and let them jail me, I knew if I was with her she would die. I cannot have that,” he said and I stared at him and wondered how a man could hold himself down like that, but honestly I knew. I wanted what he had and hoped for it most days, even with Izzy, which was a fleeting dream.

  “Did she find you?” I asked him and he nodded and kicked back another drink and hissed at it burned his throat.

  “She found me half dead here in 1930, and I woke up to what I was but she told me what would happen and that no two trackers could live and hunt and I made a decision, I left her alone and caused some serious shit and got locked up to stay away from her. She left Saigon, thinking I ran but the only thing I ran from was seeing her die. She is so much better than I am. I have been a loner and a prick my entire life and she is... she’s.”

  “Light.” I said and he looked at me.

  “Yes, like the sun. She should live, not me.”

  “So what, you stay here and rot and she goes on without you? I mean why did she bring us here to begin with.”

  “Demons, they know I am here and they always bait a trap for a tracker. I think they must have infiltrated the embassy and sent word.”

  I stood up quickly and looked up at the ceiling. She is okay. I protected the room with salt and symbols. They would not be able to sense her if they tried.

  He rose as he drank one more shot and pulled a gun, SAI etched into the side of it and turned quickly as a woman entered the
café and stared us down. Her tits were half hanging out and her lipstick was smeared.

  “They can smell me, and I want you to take her and save her. I die here today,” he said and he stepped out and I stood up quickly as the woman smiled and her teeth looked sharpened. Two more women stepped in behind her, looking as disease ridden as she did and my stomach ached a bit as I thought of all of the times Melissa and the twins had sucked me off. One moment of hunger and their teeth could have shredded my cock easily but I was not the prize, Izzy was.

  “Saigon,” the woman hissed and he smiled at her.

  “Glad to see you again, what’s it been? Almost twenty years and shit. Hell your titties held up pretty good.”

  The demon looked down and he ran quickly, jumping up on a table and then flying through the air at her, she screamed and rolled as he shot at her and the people cooking the food screamed and hit the floor in the kitchen. I ducked too, I mean I have no idea what I am doing and so wish that I did. I have training to fight but a gun is an extension of a hunter and I have not let it happen, I know it is me, I know I have always stopped myself from doing things and as I laid on the floor and bullets riddled the room I saw her… Izzy, looking so calm and deliberate, walking down the stairs and she raised her guns and aimed at the demon behind Sai and shot it down and then the other, leaving just one who he dove after and she swiped at him with her claws. Izzy looked at me, and to this day I have never seen such a happy, peaceful woman, someone who was content in all she had and would ever have. As the demon turned and grabbed Sai, lifting him into the air, Izzy approached them and tossed me her guns, I caught them just as I stood up, she ran, jumped up on the table and lunged just as the demon saw her and dropped Sai, the demon grinned and extended her clawed hand as it morphed and Izzy dropped onto it. It impaled her as Sai screamed and swiped her legs and the demon started to fall, tossing Izzy to the side like a ragdoll.
