Chapter Text
The vibration of the speakers blasting the bass in the club you were in tickled your chest. It wasn't that you haven't been to a club before. This would have been your eleventh, twelfth time? But it had been a super long while since you had been to one. Unfortunately because of that you had become unaccustomed to the new way these clubs had been remaking themselves.
Apparently after the Monsters had arrived onto the surface there had been a lot of commotion about letting young Monsters into clubs. There had been a lot of controversy about their age gaps and more than once there had been controversy over how to properly handle the sale of alcohol consumption, especially Monster alcohol, since it had a higher level then regular. Not just that but apparently Monster alcohol had magic in it that gave people who drank it a temporary effect. So to keep from having people buying full on bottles of it to keep at home and accidentally burning houses down because of fire breath the only way to get the magic drinks was from one of the approved locations. And having a friend who had been hounding you to go and try it with them it was no wonder you found yourself at one tonight.
You sighed mixing your cup of ice water with your straw. Your said friend was supposed to be here sitting next to you but after a Monster had asked her to go and dance with them that didn't happen. Of course as social as she was it wasn't a surprise that she had been gone for so long. You just hated the fact that you weren't as social as she was though. She was always making new friends left and right where as you preferred to stay along the sidelines and just wait for the night to be over. You also wished for your phone to blow up just as much as her's did. Literally as you were watching her dance her ass off on the dance floor her phone, who had been left with you, was going off like crazy. Like literally with how the flash was going off every second one would think the small device was part of the strobes hanging on the ceiling. You had dared to take a peek at who was messaging her while she was away. Many of them were girls who you kind of knew from the talks you had with her and the rest were all dudes. Like roughly seventy percent of the messages she got were from guys in which case you were pretty sure were only trying to hit her up to smash.
Speaking of which that was another reason you were here. Jess, your currently dancing queen friend, had pulled you away from both your work and solitary life to try your hand on nabbing a man in a different setting. The downside to that, there weren't many humans here. Well ones that you liked so to say. There was this one dude, tall, lean, and cute but from the way he acted and the way he walked up to you told you everything you needed to know. He was definitely a douche bag and probably a walking std machine. So when he came up to you to buy you a drink you plainly declined with thanks and made sure he knew you weren't interested.
Yeah. Definitely saved yourself from that one.
But there was still a bit of remorse you felt about being alone again. Not that you were saying you wanted him to come back! Heavens no! But the fact that you turned him down meant that you ended up stranded at the bar again.
A crackling sound made you turn your eyes away from the dance floor and over to the fire elemental bartender. Though you have no idea how you understood him you definitely heard him ask you if you needed anything else right now. Well not just that you understood everything he had said to you since you came up to the bar. Hence why you had the water.
"I'm not sure." You said moving to glance down at the drink menu he had given you when you sat down. "Everything you gave me tasted great so I wana try something with a bit more bite to it. What do you recommend?"
The fire Monster motioned to the menu before saying something about a drink called brimstone. Now you weren't sure about that one. You had seen people ordering that drink before and many of them couldn't even finish the small glass of bubbling red and black liquid. There was no point in buying something you weren't going to finish or spend a lot of money on. Like seriously looking at the price tag for it made you want to just order another water and call it a night. Luckily for you though you weren't the one to turn the fire Monster down.
"The hell ya do'en try'en to sell a killer drink like that to a chick Grilby? Thought ya were try'en to make money not lose it." A guy said when there was a break from the sound of the bass.
Curious as to who had spoken up for you you turned to your right to see a rather tall looking man. Well you would have called him a man if it wasn't for the fact that he had glowing red eyes. Surely demons didn't come out from the Underground to right? He certainly looked like one. No you knew better than that. It was clear as day that this dude was a Monster. Kind of odd looking human one but still one you found somewhat interesting. Was it because he was human looking? Or could it be the weird feeling you got in your chest from just hearing his deep voice speak to the bartender? You weren't sure but what you were sure of was that you didn't want him to leave just yet.
He was definitely different. A complete three sixty from the dude you spoke with earlier save for the tall part. Where the other guy was lean this one was a little on the thicker side but just because he had a bit of weight to him it did not hide the fact that there was clearly a good amount of him that was just straight up muscle. Like those arms that were propping himself onto the bar. Thick and surely ones that could crush a skull. You wondered what they felt like. Were they rock hard? Or did they have a bit of give to them? The thought of them, bare from the damn red sweater that was covering them, as they wrapped around you made you a bit giddy. Not only that but his hands were rather big as well. Remove the gold gaudy ring he wore on one of them and you were already thinking of ways you could use them.
Whooo boy. You better take another sip of your water.
You had to hand it to him though he was cute. Save for the white hair. It did make him look a bit older but you can swear on your bottom dollar that he was still young. It was clear as day.
The guy tried talking again this time in your direction. The problem with that though was that the next song that came on was a lot louder and darker than the last. Oh that's right you forgot to mention that this was one of those dark type of clubs. Ones that had a mix of dark cyber punk and similar types of music blasting twenty-four seven. Again not the kind you usually went to but that's not the point. The real point was that this dude was talking to you and you had no damn clue what he said.
You shook your head at him while pointing to your ear when he was waiting for you to answer. He made a semy annoyed look which did not look directed towards you before turning back to the fire Monster you now knew as Grilby. The two exchanged words before Grilby's flames grew hotter and you saw the guy start to laugh. At the time that he was laughing he pulled out his phone and began to type on it and not long after did he turn it towards you to read.
/The name's Red. Mind if I sit with ya and order ya a couple of drinks? Grilby will leave ya broke and dry if you let him pick./
You read the message quickly and although you knew better than to take drinks from someone you didn't know something told you that it wouldn't be so bad if you got to sit and talk to this guy for a bit. Like seriously none of your red flag alerts were going off at the moment. So what harm could be had from having him sit and drink with you? Now if you did get a flag latter on while you all were chatting then you were going to make sure to put a stop to it right away and go tell Jess that it was time to go. So while your mind was still saying yes, you looked up at him and nodded.
Red smiled showing you sharp shark like teeth. They didn't put you off because you had seen plenty of Monsters with even sharper more dangerous looking ones but you did happen to notice that one of them was gold. Or was it silver? You couldn't really tell with the way the lights were flashing. He began to text again before he passed you back the phone.
/Cool. If the music gets to much though I have a booth on the upper floor we can go to./
You thought about that. Realistically for you, you got to get a feel of people by the tone and way they spoke. More than you can count it actually had saved you from some uncomfortable situations with your past friends and coworkers. The idea of moving spots so you two could talk didn't sound to bad. The only thing was that you weren't able to keep an eye on your friend though. But did you really need to? In reality the only real reason other than the ones before was the fact that she didn't have a car to get here. You were also sure that she just so happened to know that you weren't working and thought that you would make a good chauffeur for her night of partying. Which now that you thought about it mildly annoyed you for some reason. Looking over at your friend it was clear as day that she was having the time of her life by herself and the small cluster of both men and women that had moved further away from the dance floor. In fact they weren't even dancing anymore. The group had moved on to one of the long standing tables and were doing shots and laughing amongst themselves. Which really got you annoyed now because she had told you she wasn't going to be drinking with anyone but you tonight.
You took a breath to calm yourself down a bit. Even if you were mad that she went back on what she had said you were still going to tell her where you were going to go. But first you wanted to tell Red that you were going to tell her where you were going. So gently taking the phone from him, which he didn't seem to mind, you typed out your own message to him.
/My name is Y/n. I need to tell my friend first where I'm going. Mind waiting here for a sec?/
Sliding him back the phone and before he could even read it you hopped off of your seat grabbed your phone and Jess's and started to make your way towards her and her new gang of "friends". Coming up to them after having to snake through a large cluster of people you came up next to Jess. What you saw when you got there told you that she was not gana paying much attention to what you had to say. There at the table they were laughing and joking and more than two of the people there were paired up and making out against the wall. Thankfully Jess wasn't one of them but you were sure from how much she was clinging to one of the guys there she was going to be soon. Unfortunately for Jess you were not going to be driving home a third person so even if she did hook up with him tonight they were going to have to find their own way back. Still though you wanted to let her know that you weren't going to be on the main floor if she decided to do that.
"Hey Jess!" You yelled making sure to let her know that you were there physically by patting her on the arm.
Jess turned her happy green eyes to you and smiled. Clearly drunk already. "Oh Y/n! Hey Ronnie, this is my friend Y/n that I told you about! Isn't she pretty!?"
The guy known as Ronnie, though he looked more like a chad or a brad in your opinion, gave you a two finger salute clearly not hearing what she had said after her intro of you.
"Jess, listen." You said bringing your mouth to her ear. "I'm going to the second floor with a guy, you think you will be ok here?"
"Yeah, sure! He cute!? Where is he?" She asked moving Ronnie's arm off of her shoulder so she could turn and look.
You turned as well making sure to point over to the bar where Red still stood. He was there watching you and Jess looking bored. Apparently his looks were enough to meet Jess's standards and she turned to you and gave you one of her perverse smiles she made every time she joked with you.
"Oooh! Look at our little kitty cat go! Snagging herself a real beef cake. Hey if you bring him home make sure to take a pic of his little friend so we can see who got luckiest." She joked.
You tried not to take offence to what she had just said. Just because you were going to talk to him upstairs did not mean that you were going to take him home. That and even if you did you weren't going to embarrass the guy or yourself later by showing her shit she didn't need to see. It was none of her business anyways. Actually just because she had said that you were sure she was fine on her own. So waving her off, after semi roughly handing her the phone she left with you, you decided to quickly leave the group of drunk extroverts and head back to Red.
When you got back to the bar he did not waste any time getting your attention and getting you to follow him upstairs. It took you a bit to get there though with all the people crowding the stairway. Luckily for you though you didn't have to slip by anyone since Red was walking in front of you and apparently everyone had decided to give him room rather than let him run them all over which you were pretty sure he would do if they hadn't moved to begin with. Guess that was one of the perks of being built the way he was. Nobody wanted to mess with you or get on your bad side.
Coming up the last step you were shocked to find that the second level was actually a lot more spacious than you thought it would be. Of course it was a bit darker and from the curtained booths, that you were sure held both Monsters and humans inside as you passed them, were a lot more private as well. In fact one of the larger booths was where he brought you to. The only difference was that this one had a door rather than the thick heavy curtain. You started to feel a bit uncertain when Red opened the door for you. Thankfully he didn't push for you to go in. Instead he just stood there patiently letting you decide on whether you wanted to go in or turn tail. It didn't take you that long to decide after a bit of mental encouragement on your part. More of which was going along the lines of "if Jess can get in these places and come out perfectly fine why can't I" and more along the lines of that. Though it was clear to you that Red was happy when you walked past him to sit on the thickly cushioned leather L shaped couch.
Once you had been seated and Red followed you in to close the door behind him the sound in the room was like night and day. Literally the moment that door closed all the heavy bass and the bumping music ceased to exist and for once since entering the club you were actually able to hear your own thoughts. Though you could still feel the thumping of the bass as it vibrated the floor it was pure bliss inside compared to being outside of the room.
"I take it ya ain't used to these kinds of clubs huh sweetheart?" Red asked.
Now without the music masking half of his voice the way it sounded made a small tingle of excitement run up your spine. It sounded like someone from the Bronx made a baby with both Tim Curry and Andrea Bocelli. And when you say you went moister than an oyster for the sound of this man's voice you meant it. For some reason though you didn't know why. Was it because it actually sounded as divine as you thought it did or was it just the fact that you haven't heard such a smooth sounding voice like his in a long ass time? Both. Both? Yeah you were gana go with both.
"Y-Yeah." You said nervously before mentally smacking yourself for your lack of words.
"Yeah me to. Only reason I'm here is cus Grilb's other bar 's closed for the night. 's a lot quieter 'n less irritat'en then this place. Was actually not planning to come at all. Although," He said sliding himself onto the couch next to you but leaving enough for you to move away if you wanted. He cracked you a smug looking grin as he looked you up and down. " 'm glad I did. Not every day I get to see a pretty looking thing like yaself 'n a place like this."
You couldn't help the small blush that came to your cheeks. Yeah you knew it was a dumb thing to blush over but gosh dang it the way he had said it and the way he was looking at you actually made you feel pretty and shy at the same time. Not like you were dressed to party in a place like this to start with. In reality you were wearing one of the knee length modest dresses that Jess had. And when you said modest you meant modest because everything else she wore including the tight fitting, crotch showing, nipple peak-a-booing dress she had on now was all to scandalous for you to even consider trying on. In your case you were wearing one of the dresses she used to wear before Jess had the liposuction and the breast lifts. It was flowy from the skirt, and tight just enough to show that you actually had a good pair of tits on you yourself without making them pop out of the fabric. That and it was a nice coral color. One of your select few favorite colors to begin with.
"I doubt that." You said half heatedly "I'm sure there are plenty of girls here that are way better looking than I am."
You weren't lying. While you were at the bar you had seen plenty of women both human and Monster that looked way better than yourself in your own opinion. One example would be the really pretty Okapi Monster. The way her long legs were paired with the outfit she wore made her look mesmerizing to you and when you saw her dance you almost swore she wasn't even real and more than likely a figment of your imagination. Because honestly who could look that pretty and dance that sexily and still be here on Earth? Huh? Exactly no one! So you had no excuse for making googly eyes at her when you saw her.
Looking out of the large glass window, which you were sure was tinted enough to give you some form of privacy and not let every one see whatever happened inside, you tried to find said Monster. Unfortunately though you couldn't spot her from here. Though your guess was that she had already went home or had moved on to one of the other booths on this floor as well. Actually now that you were looking around you were actually able to see Jess from up here as well. Though when you did you weren't really sure you had wanted to find her.
The moment you spotted her you felt to things. Jealousy and regret. You felt jealous because you weren't as popular as she was. Where she could have the masses swarm to her if she needed you could barely get one person to be on your side. Not only was it annoying because whenever she did fuck something up it was always her that was pitied for it and told that it was never her fault. Now when you did that and it actually wasn't your fault at all everyone never believed you. You never knew why. It was aggravating. That's why you never went anywhere or tried to talk to people. Though in the long run that messed you up socially because out of the microscopic level of friends that you did have they were so spread out that you never had the time to actually hang out with them. Save for Jess. That's where the regret settled in. Like a sinking rock that was slowly embedding itself into your chest you regretted your choices in not putting yourself back out there and making time to make new friends and meet new people. Maybe if you prettied yourself up and acted as happy as Jess did that would work? Acted like her in a sense? Nah it wouldn't work. You knew better than anyone that you wouldn't be able to keep that fake smile on your face like Jess could. Not only that but you wouldn't be able to pull off the make up that she wore to.
As you were in your mind chipping away at your self worth you hadn't noticed that Red had moved closer to you. The fact that you had noticed when he did was when the leather of the booth creaked and sank super close to your leg. It made you immediately return back to the present and look at him with a spooked yet questioning look. He on the other hand had a serious look on his face. The smug look long gone and the stern one he now wore made you slightly uneasy.
"R-Red." You said bringing your hands up to block him as he leaned in towards you.
"Don't ever compare yaself to them." He said sternly. "All of those bitches ya see out there are fake. Every body part, every word, every emotion that they feel or make ya think they feel are all fake. Not a single one 'v them hold any actual thing that can make them actually be considered pretty."
Ouch. Good thing Jess wasn't here to hear that. You were sure that would have made her cry. But he kind of did have a point? Not that you had time to think let alone look at the people that he was talking about as his hand came to gently turn your face back to him. In fact when you looked at it the stern look he had was gone now replaced with a look that made your cheeks flush a darker shade. It was a look you had never seen someone give you before. One that held adoration, affection, and dare you even mention lust. It definitely made you feel special. And with what you heard him say next you almost wanted to burry your face in either his chest or in the back rest of the bench. Though you would more rather prefer the first rather than the later.
"Ya on the other hand are far more special. Now forgive a guy for sound'en cheesy but when I saw ya sitt'en there at the bar sweetheart I saw pure beauty. Not one of these skanks 'n sheep's cloth'en held a candle to how ya looked sitt'en there in this perdy dress ya got on. With the way ya eyes shined with the lights from the dance floor... Stars babe, I swore if ya cracked a smile right then 'n there ya would have had the whole club on they knees ready to do whatev'ah ya wanted. I know I would've."
Red's hand that was using only a finger to get you to look at him opened. His palm cupping your cheek as his this fingers buried themselves in the thick curls that Jess had made in your hair. It felt warm against your skin and you really liked the way it felt. Hell you even wanted to snuggle your face into it but you were sure that was just the alcohol you drank earlier talking. There was no way you would have done that with a honey laced stranger while sober unless you were on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Ya the most mesmeriz'en creature 'ere...So pretty." Red leaned in more bringing his face closer to yours.
You sucked in a small breath at what you thought he was going to do. Yet you did not try and stop him. Even your hands, that had been ready to push him away, actually reached out to gently hold onto small clumps of the looser part of his red sweater.
"So pure."
The hand that was on your cheek pulled you forward slightly. It wasn't forcing you to move. It was just a nudge to get you to move if you wanted. And you did. For some reason you were becoming so into whatever wanting trance he was putting you under that you did not care for the fact that you were going to kiss a stranger. In fact in the back of your mind you had really wanted to do so since you had seen him at the bar. The fact that he was adding these sweet words and candied lies, or so you believed them to be lies, only encouraged you to try and go along with it. So you leaned in as well. Your eyes half lidded and your lips parted just enough to tell him you were ready.
Red had said something else then. Though you weren't sure what it was because you had been so focused on getting the kiss to pay attention to any sounds. Instead you encouraged him to come the rest of the way by tugging on his sweater. And he clearly complied.
The kiss was delicious. Though you were sure it was because the last time you ever kissed anyone was more than four years ago. On the other hand you were pretty sure that the kiss that Red was giving you was rather better than the ones you experienced. It was soft and passionate. Not rushed or sloppy. The better thing was that he didn't go for tongue first either. He was making sure to take his time with just this one. Prolonging it as best as he could until he was forced to when he heard the door to the booth open.
You gave him a needy quiet groan when his lips tore away for your own but it was covered up by the furious growl that had came from the Monster now practically covering you with his large body. The sound if it sparked another tingle of excitement through you this time sending it straight to your sex.
The poor worker that had came to drop off the drinks nearly dropped them when he had heard it and quickly made his way out after setting them down onto the table. The slam of the door as he ran replaced the quick boom of the music outside.
Red didn't turn back to you when the worker left. It looked like he was trying to see if the guy was going to come back. You didn't like that. It felt selfish of you but you wanted him to pay attention to you again. Wanted him to tell you more about how pretty you were. Make you feel wanted and someone that could be lusted over. You wanted him to kiss you. Touch you. And if it went that far you were ready for him to fuck you. Even if it ended up as a one night stand. Even if you had to do the walk of shame home it would be worth it. Because for the first time in a long time someone was making you feel wanted.
"Red." You said softly giving his shirt a tiny tug to get him to look back at you.
He didn't do it right away. It took him a second or two before he turned his angry looking face towards you. Though that look melted away replaced with the one he had been giving you before. That made you smile. You were happy that he didn't feel any different towards you just because of the minor distraction.
Feeling a little bit of courage you brought your own hand up to touch his own face. Small as it may have been compared to his own your hand didn't take up much room on it. Really your hand could barely even cover his whole cheek. But that didn't stop you. In fact your fingers danced across his face feeling the way his trimmed short beard, which was just as white as his hair on his head, prickled your skin. Which in itself was hot. Was it because he was a Monster? Did they normally have higher body temps then humans? Or was it because of the mood the two of you were sharing. The moment and hormones going through you yourself certainly felt like you were heating up.
The twitch of a smile brought you to fully look at Red again. He looked so happy that you were touching him. Though what made you blush and turn your eyes away from him again was when he removed the hand on you to grab yours. Bringing your hand to his mouth he used his thumb to open it so that he could place a soft kiss onto your palm. The hair there tickled it making you flinch slightly but you did not dare pull it away. In fact you let him do what he wanted. Which in itself was to pull you even closer.
You allowed him to usher you onto his lap while placing your hands around his thick neck. He was still sitting sideways on the bench but he had maneuvered himself and you to where your back was at the corner of the booth bench cornering you there. Though with the way his body was so much larger than your own it felt like he was caging you in. Or rather shielding you from view from those below as the glass was still see-through. Either way you made no move to tell him no or push him away as he pressed you as close as physically possible to him and the couch. It was actually nice the way he practically smothered you. The heat coming off of his body made your bare cold legs warm amongst other places when he spread your legs to wrap around his hips.
Red captured your lips after he got settled. This one was a bit more firm but you enjoyed it none the less. Especially when his hands went to your thighs. His calloused hands running up and down them made goosebumps rise. He never went higher than where the skirt of your dress ended. Though you were anxiously waiting for him to do so. You wanted him to touch you. Wanted him to make you feel as hot as his skin felt against your own. But you weren't going to initiate it. You wanted him to take control. You wanted him to show you how he could make you happy. Though that didn't mean you didn't have to encourage him a bit. Especially when the kiss went slack for a moment on his part. You made sure to pull him back in. There was no breaks here. Not while you still had him.
You did have to wait a bit before Red decided to move on from just straight kissing. Even when you had opened your mouth a bit so that he could get the hint that you wanted to move on to tongue it took him a second or two before he allowed his own to enter your mouth. The battle for dominance thankfully was quickly won by Red and the way he worked you with his long tongue practically had you into a panting wiggling mess in less time it took you to blink.
You moaned when Red broke away. A smack sound could have been heard as both of your mouths left each other. You took that moment of reprieve to get your breath while Red moved on to new lands. His hands were no longer running tracks along your thighs. Instead while one hand was preoccupied grabbing handfuls of your ass and pressing you into his now obvious bulge the other was running a thumb over your still covered nipple. Your hands weren't idle either. In your case one had been buried into the thicker parts of his hair that way you were able to deepen the kiss when you both were sharing them while the other was exploring those defined muscular arms. Sure enough you were rght on the muscle. But the question on if they were firm or soft played on the middle. When he flexed them as he brought you back to rub up against his growing crotch it felt hard like a brick but when it relaxed it felt like the perfect cushion to be a pillow for your head. In fact it felt as such when you rested your head on his shoulder while Red kissed his way down your neck.
You moaned when he nipped you. The small sting being mellowed away with the same tongue that had been in your mouth. However the sting came back when he began sucking on that same spot before he once again nipped it. This cycle went on leading to your collarbone until you were sure that he had made a clear trail of darkening red spots. When he pulled away you tried to follow him but he held you there to lean back against the backrest of the booth with the hand that had been teasing your breast. It held you firmly over your stomach. His fingers pressing enough for him to feel the appropriate layer of fat that you had there. The hand that was on your ass came out from under your skirt to once again run over the thigh on the side it was on.
"Stars kitten, ya really know how to get a guy going." Red said looking over you.
You were sure you looked a mess from how unorganized your clothes and hair felt but the way Red looked at you with that smile coming back onto his face made you all the more needy. You must have made a face telling him so as he leaned down just enough to brush his nose against yours. The hand that was on your belly then moved to your hip followed by its twin. There Red pressed you fully onto his bulge. The feeling of it made your sex quiver and breathy moan slip past your lips.
"Tell me what ya want sweetheart. I'll give it all to ya. Anyth'en 'n everyth'en." Red continued this time grinding himself into you which in turn made him groan. "Tell me what ya what Y/n."
Your answer came quick when you felt him grind against you once more and you felt his bulge graze past your clit making a ripple of pleasure run through your sex again to where it pulsed with an insatiable need to be filled. You couldn't take it anymore. You needed to do it. You wanted Red to fuck you. And when those words left your mouth there was very little to catch before the world around you disappeared.
