WHO: Nina Maynard & Perseus
WHEN: Valentine's Day, afternoon
WHERE: PoleCats stripclub, The Bronx
WHAT: Hunger of all kinds.
WARNINGS: attempted sexual assault?
Afternoon shifts always made Nina feel a little disorientated when she finished them up and went outside into the light. After hours in a dimly lit room with bright stage lights, it was easy to get confused and forget the time. Which was why she was blinking against the glare that came through the clouds as she leaned in the alleyway off the club. Looking down, Nina checked her hands again. They were still shaking and she swallowed, balling them into fists instead. Something felt wrong and whatever it was made Nina want to cry with frustration.
The door beside her opened and Nina turned away from it as though she'd been caught doing something wrong. But it was just one of the bartenders coming out for a smoke and she forced a smile for him. She didn't want him to ask her what was wrong. He nodded and lit up the cigarette as Nina watched him carefully, with more interest than she'd ever shown before.
A few moments later she'd moved over towards him and asked, "can I have a drag?" He looked at her and nodded, handing over the cigarette. She took it with as much elegance as was possible and placed it between her lips, taking a long drag as she kept her eyes locked on him. When she let the smoke out she did it slowly, using the little French inhale trick (out through mouth, in through nose) that Amidio had told her was sexy when she did it. She certainly had the bartender's attention. She blew out the smoke completely and then handed the cigarette back to him, leaning in close to his neck to whisper, "thanks." She drew back just enough, inhaling the scent of him. She wanted him. "Do you want to come out the back with me?" she asked, trying not to think of Dio, wherever he was.
Nina took his hand and led him through the club and the two of them ended up hidden in the doorway between the open room of the club and the hallway that led to backstage. He was saying things about how hot she was and Nina knew only that she wanted him. She buried her face in his throat and he started kissing hers.
Want. Need. Hunger.
Hunger.
It was hunger. It wasn't the sex. She didn't want to have sex with this man who was sliding his hands up under her skirt. She didn't want that at all. Nina wanted to devour him, literally and completely. Just like-
Not again.
No, Nina thought even as she wanted to sink her teeth into him. She wanted to take that blood hit the back of her throat like it had done once before. No, stop. It took a little while for her to manage it out loud and by then his hand was under her skirt. "Stop, no, I don't want this." The bartender laughed and Nina didn't think it was very funny. It wasn't a game! "No, get off me, please, just stop." She didn't want to yell because that would draw attention to herself and it was the last thing she needed. But he wasn't taking her seriously and she tried giving him a shove but his hands were all over her. "Just stop!"
On his days off, Perseus liked to find a strip club and watch girls dance around. He had nothing better to do and he did enjoy the female body. He wasn't the kind of man who would force himself on a woman. He preferred to win them over by making grand gestures of love.
Like saving them from creepy bartenders.
Perseus' eyes were drawn from the stage by Nina's demands that the man stop. Perseus was on his feet in an instant, charging towards the pair of them.
"The lady said stop!" Perseus growled, pulling the bartender back roughly. "Are you alright?" he asked Nina while the bartender struggled against his iron grip.

The bartender gave a surprised look between the two of them and Nina straightened her clothes, pulling herself from where she'd been leaning against the wall. "Just... let him go," she whispered with a small nod but without looking at the man she sort-of recognized.

Perseus did exactly as he was told, though not without giving the bartender a little shove. "Keep your hands off women who aren't interested," Perseus growled at the man and then he turned back to Nina. "Are you sure you're alright?" He didn't try to touch her. He didn't know if she would be okay with that.

"I'm alright," Nina nodded, but her hands were still shaking from that hunger and needed. "Thank you though. I think it was just a... misunderstanding."

"It's alright," Perseus reassured her. "You're shaking. Do you want to sit down and have a drink of water? Or go get some fresh air?"

Nina nodded. "Sit," she said and then, worried about what she might do if she was alone, she gestured for him to follow her backstage where she could sit down at one of the dressing tables in the crappy brick-walled room.
"I know you," Nina said now that she was looking at him properly. "I've given you lapdances."

Perseus smiled a little and he nodded when she said she knew him. "Yes, that's true. I come in here sometimes. I'm a firefighter so it's nice to go somewhere and unwind."

"Firefighter, cool," Nina said with a little smile. He was like a proper hero and stuff. "I'm Nina. Except don't tell them I told you that. We get fired for real names."

"Peter Campbell," Perseus said with a smile. "And don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Does that kind of thing...with that jerkoff...does that happen often?"

"A lot," Nina said, looking down at her hands and frowning. "Boys, they don't listen to me." It used to be fine. But now men looked at her differently.
