Chapter 3: Blood and Pussy

The door splintered with a loud crack. Wood flew everywhere. Victor Kane stepped through like he owned the place, which he probably did. Tall bastard, built like a brick wall, shaved head, scar running down his left cheek. Black suit stretched tight over muscles that looked like they could crush skulls. His eyes locked on Alex first, then dropped to Lila. She was still bent over, dress hiked up, ass red from the slap, pussy dripping down her thighs. Alex's cock hung out, slick and hard, glistening with her juices.

Victor's face twisted. Rage. Pure fucking rage.

"You little shit," he snarled. "That's my fiancée you're balls-deep in."

Alex tucked himself back into his jeans slow, no rush. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, tasting Lila still on his lips. "Was. Past tense. She's mine now."

Lila straightened up quick, pulling her dress down. Her cheeks were flushed, hair messy, lipstick smeared. She looked between them, breathing heavy. "Victor... this isn't what—"

"Shut up," Victor snapped. His voice was gravel. He cracked his knuckles. "You think you can fuck my woman in my club and walk out? Marcus, or whoever the fuck you are now, you're dead."

The system voice slid into Alex's head, calm as ever.

[Threat Assessment: Victor Kane. Strength: High. Combat Skills: Expert. Weapons: Concealed blade + fists. Quest Update: Eliminate or Dominate the Rival. Reward for Victory: +500 Apex Points + Lila's Full Submission. Penalty for Defeat: Host Body Destruction. Choose wisely, pervert.]

Alex felt a rush. Not fear. Heat. Power bubbling under his skin from that first fuck. His muscles felt tighter, reflexes sharper. The system was already pumping something into him.

Victor lunged.

Fast for a big guy. Fist came straight for Alex's face. Alex ducked, felt the wind off the punch. He countered low, drove his elbow into Victor's gut. Solid hit. Victor grunted but didn't fold. He grabbed Alex by the throat, slammed him against the wall. Plaster cracked.

"You think you're tough now?" Victor hissed, squeezing. "I break men like you for breakfast."

Alex grinned through the choke. "Yeah? Then why's your girl still leaking my cum down her leg?"

Victor roared. Swung again. Alex twisted free, dropped low, swept Victor's leg. Big man went down hard. Alex jumped on top, fists flying. One to the jaw. One to the eye. Blood sprayed. Victor headbutted him back. Stars exploded in Alex's vision. Nose bleeding now.

They rolled across the floor. Punches, elbows, knees. Victor got on top, pinned Alex's arms with his knees. Pulled a knife from his sleeve. Blade flashed red in the dim light.

"Time to carve that smirk off your face."

Lila screamed. "Victor, stop!"

But she didn't move to help him. She stood there, eyes wide, chest heaving. Nipples poking through the dress. Legs shaking. Watching.

Alex stared up at the knife. Then he felt it. Something hot and dark uncoiling in his chest. The system whispered.

[Apex Evolution Partial Unlock: Rage Boost. Temporary Strength +50%. Use it.]

Alex's muscles swelled. Veins popped. He bucked hard, threw Victor off. Knife clattered away. Alex rolled, grabbed it, flipped it in his hand.

Victor got up slow, wiping blood from his mouth. "You got lucky."

"No," Alex said. Voice deeper now. Rougher. "You fucked up."

He charged. Knife low. Victor blocked with his arm. Blade sliced deep. Blood poured. Victor howled. Alex didn't stop. Tackled him back to the couch. Straddled his chest. Punched down again and again. Face turned to pulp. Victor's arms dropped.

Alex pressed the knife to Victor's throat. Breathing hard. Cock still half-hard from the fight and the adrenaline. Blood on his hands. Lila's wetness still on his skin.

"Yield," Alex growled.

Victor coughed blood. "Fuck... you."

Alex pressed harder. Skin broke. Red line appeared.

Lila stepped forward. Voice small. "Alex... don't kill him. Please."

Alex looked at her. Her eyes were wet. Scared. Turned on. She bit her lip hard.

The system dinged.

[Choice Detected. Spare for Submission Bonus or Kill for Instant Power Spike.]

Alex stared down at Victor. The man who'd owned this city block. Owned Lila. Now broken under him.

He leaned close. "She's mine. Say it."

Victor spat blood. "She's... yours."

Alex lifted the knife. Victor flinched. But Alex just stood up. Dropped the blade.

"Get out. Tell everyone. Lila belongs to me now. Touch her again, I carve your heart out and fuck her on your corpse."

Victor crawled backward, clutching his arm. Stood shaky. Stumbled out the broken door without a word.

Silence.

Lila stared at Alex like she'd never seen him before. Chest rising and falling fast.

Alex turned to her. Cock throbbing again. Blood on his shirt. Bruises blooming.

She dropped to her knees. Crawled to him. Hands on his thighs. Looked up with those green eyes.

"You... you beat him. For me."

Alex grabbed her hair. Pulled her face close to his bulge.

"Not just for you. For me. Now open that mouth. Show me how grateful you are."

Lila moaned soft. Fingers fumbled with his zipper. Pulled him out. Thick, veiny, still slick from her pussy earlier. She licked the tip slow, tasting herself on him.

Then the system voice cut in sharp.

[Warning: Multiple Hostiles Approaching. Victor's men. Eight armed. ETA: 60 seconds.]

Lila froze, lips around his cockhead.

Alex looked toward the door. Footsteps thumping down the hall. Shouts.

He grinned down at her. "Looks like we ain't done yet."

She sucked harder. Eyes locked on his.

The door rattled again.
