The Madame's Trap Bethany let out a sigh as she put her shopping bags on her desk, and took off her jacket with a tired expression. "Had fun?" May asked with an amused smile, walking into her office. "Normally I would, but not with that crowd! Things are just crazy, and we are not even in the holiday season! I think I was actually squashed at some point!" Bethany pouted, rubbing her back. "Now you are just exaggerating! You've been through much worse!" May said with a casual wave, before reaching out her hand. "So, did you get it?" she added with an impatient expression. "Yeah, yeah I did. There you go. It would be nice if you helped with the carrying though!" the brunette mumbled, as she held out a colorful, neatly packaged box, which the young redhead grabbed enthusiastically. "Thanks Sis! You know that I wouldn't mind tagging along, but someone had to remain at the office" May responded, smiling. "I know. Did we have anything new while I was gone?" Bethany said, hanging her jacket. "Just a guest!" May said, vaguely. "A guest?" Bethany wondered, before a familiar voice was heard. "So, the hardened private investigator gets overwhelmed by a simple walk in the market!" an charming blond remarked, as Bethany turned towards her with a joyful smile. "It's a bigger challenge than you think! When did you come back? And how come I didn't see you when I waked in?" she said, looking towards the young redhead, who whistled innocently. "I was hidden in order to surprise you! May's idea!" Stacy casually pointed her thumb towards her. "Of course it was!" Bethany shook her head. "So you don't say that I never give you any presents! I'll leave you two alone!" May chuckled, before she left room. "Your sister is quite the charmer!" Stacy said with an amused expression. "Tell me about it!" Bethany nodded with a warm smile, before she turned towards the blond. "I'm glad to see you again, Stacy!" she said. "So am I, Sweetie! And this time, I might be staying for a little bit longer than usual" Stacy smiled. "That's great!" Bethany said with a bright expression. "So, what do you have there?" Stacy asked curiously, as she peeked at the shopping bags. "Oh, not much! Just, you know, a couple of outfits I found interesting" the brunette responded vaguely, pulling the bags away. "I see! That black lingerie set looks very interesting!" Stacy commented with a sly smile. "Hey, don't you know it's rude to peek at other people's bags?" Bethany retorted with a slight blush. "Besides, I didn't just buy clothes. I also bought this" she continued, as she took out a small box. "A perfume! Now that's something that goes really well with that lingerie set!" the blond smiled, as Bethany simply shook her head. "You're impossible!" she said lightly, as she looked at the small bottle of perfume. "Something wrong?" Stacy asked, noticing the brunette's expression. "Not really, it's just ... This perfume, reminded me of a previous case" Bethany said thoughtfully, before she put the bottle back on the desk. "Sounds like an intriguing case!" Stacy said, folding her arms. "You could say that" Bethany responded. "I see. So, I was going to ask you if you have the rest of the day free, but after a little chat I had with May, I'm afraid that may not be the case" Stacy said, as the young detective nodded. "There's not much going on, but there is this new case that came up recently, and it looks quite, unusual" Bethany said with a serious expression, opening a blue envelop. "Well, it wouldn't be the first one you took. Go ahead" Stacy said, as she leaned closer. "There has been a breaking at Fortune City's Natural Museum" Bethany said. "What? The natural museum? What exactly did they take from there, fossils?" Stacy exclaimed, with a mix of confusion and wonder evident in her voice. "I realize your confusion. I was pretty puzzled at first too. There are a lot of natural treasures there, a lot of valuable exhibitions, but there is not really a market for them, people who would be interested in buying any of them" Bethany began explaining the case. "Then why? Something changed?" Stacy asked. "You could say that. A few days ago there has been a new botany exhibition at the museum, with a collection of rare plants and flowers. The perpetrator has targeted this exhibition and took some really valuable exhibits, including the collection's crown jewel, an extremely rare kind of black orchid" the brown haired detective continued. "With the right connections, the perpetrator could find a market for rare flowers" the blond agent rubbed her chin, thoughtfully. "Is this why you find the case unusual?" she said, as she looked at the troubled detective. "The target does seem unusual and requires specific knowledge, but that's not all. When I went to investigate the area, I found a ton of evidence. It was almost too easy to track down the perpetrator's whereabouts and find their hideout. In fact, I was planning on paying them a visit this night, as Nocturne" Bethany said, as she put down her files on the case. "You are wondering that it may be a trap? Perhaps this guy wasn't that good. I don't think a natural museum would have such tight security, even with that new exhibition" Stacy said. "Perhaps you are right. Anyway, we'll know for sure when I wrap this up" Bethany said lightly, as she closed the envelope and put it aside. "I could provide some backup, you know" the blond offered. "Thanks, but you just came back. You deserve some rest! It's okay, I can handle this. Besides, I'll be in touch with May so if something does happen, she'll let you know" Bethany smiled. "Fair enough! I'll be on standby then!" Stacy nodded. "You know, since you are so willing, there is something I could really use your help with! Something that will require you to stand really close to me!" Bethany sat back on her armchair, with an alluring tone in her voice. "Oh yeah? What could that be?" Stacy smirked, as leaned closer. "Could you please help me with all this paperwork?" Bethany suddenly said with a cheerful voice, holding up a pile of sheets in front of her, causing the blond to look at her with a dumbfound expression. "I'll get you for that, Hunter!" she mumbled with narrowed eyes, grabbing the pile of sheets and sitting on the opposite side of the desk, as Bethany gave her an innocent and amused smile, before she focused on her own paperwork. The sun slowly set and night had fallen over Fortune City, as Bethany embraced once again her Mistress of the Night persona and went out in the city. Nocturne moved swiftly in the night roads of the city with her high speed motorcycle, quickly closing the distance towards her destination and stopped a few blocks away. She knew that she now had to be stealthy, so she parked her motorcycle in a safe spot, and continued her way by jumping through a few rooftops, until she got at a tall building, near the one she targeted. "I'm there May. It looks like an old store. No guards on the outside, it doesn't seem really suspicious" Nocturne said with a low voice. "Nothing suspicious on my monitor too. Proceed with care, Nocturne" May's voice was heard from the headset. "I will. I'm going in" Nocturne responded, before she closed the distance between the two buildings, made another leap, grabbed through the fire escape, and got inside the store from an open window. Nocturne landed lightly on her boots, she got up and slowly made her way inside the room. "This looks like a living room. I suppose the basement works as a store, but the upper floor is like an apartment. Pretty convenient I guess" the masked heroine thought, as she made her way through the living room, looking for evidence. "Nothing here. Better check the other rooms" Nocturne mumbled, as she got into the small hallway and walked towards another room. "This must be the bedroom" she thought, once she got inside the room. A large bed was easily the most notable furniture in the bedroom, along with a wardrobe, a dresser, and an armchair, but what really drew the heroine's attention was a small safe. "Well, if there's any place someone must have hidden something, it should be there" Nocturne thought, as she moved towards the safe, taking out her tools. Cracking it open proved to be quite easy, and Nocturne saw with a small smile all the missing exhibits, including the rare flower, but that wasn't all. She also found some other rare flowers, a few small bottles, and a perfume bottle that looked really familiar. "This all feels really familiar. Wait, this is ... " Nocturne said with a shocked expression, until the lights suddenly went on. The heroine quickly turned around, but she was greeted by a smoke bomb that crushed directly on her, filling her with a heavy dose of gas. "Gahh! What's this? What's, going on?" Nocturne gasped, as she felt her entire body tremble. Her sharp mind quickly clouded, and an intense tingling sensation spread over her heated body. She knew the effects of this gas, she had felt them before. "Madame Amour!" she said slowly, as she saw a curvaceous, blond woman, clad in a red leotard and black fishnets, with a mask hiding her features, standing near the door. "My sweet, little Nocturne! So glad to meet you again! And under so similar circumstances!" the blond woman chuckled. "So, you are the one who broke in the museum. I take it that these rare flowers are important ingredients for your special perfumes!" Nocturne said with certainly. "An excellent observation! Congratulations!" Madame Amour clapped her hands with an amused expression. "Unfortunately for you, you only got part of my plan!" she continued with a devious grin. "Part of your plan?" Nocturne said with some confusion. The masked heroine had already started to try and think a way out of this situation the moment the villainess appeared, but it was becoming increasingly hard to focus her thoughts. In fact, the only that she could focus on was the beautiful blond in front of her. "I do need those samples, and I know just how to use them! But that's not the only reason. I knew that this sort of hit on one of the city's most important buildings would draw your attention. You were able to find my hideout pretty easy weren't you? The clues were evident for someone like you, but not for random cops. That's because I wanted you to find me, so I can finally get you!" Madame Amour said with a louder voice. "So, you can, get me? This, this was a trap!" Nocturne gasped, her body suddenly going numb. "What's, going on?" she mumbled, her legs barely holding her. "It has gotten a little loud downstairs, hasn't it? That's because the moment you opened that safe, I alerted a few hired goons that were hiding in a near building, and they are now downstairs, and around the store. There is no escape for you!" the blond villainess said with a smirk, as she held out a communicator. Nocturne tried to focus, and she could hear footsteps on the lower floor, Madame Amour was right. "Of course, those goons are just a precaution. You are not going anywhere, my little Nocturne! You lost, the moment you walked inside this room. I see, you have no gas mask this time! This makes things so much simpler! Especially with my new, improved formula!" the blond villainess said with a seductive grin, as she walked towards the panting heroine, swaying her hips slowing. "Your new ... formula?" Nocturne mumbled, barely able to form any words. The tingling sensation had become so intense that her knees were trembling, but what's worse she could barely take a step. Her body had almost turned numb. "Yes, my new formula. You can already feel the effects of my love bomb, don't you? It arouses your body so much, that it almost goes numb! There's no way you can fight me in this condition! You are, mine!" Madame Amour almost spelled out her last words, her intense gaze fixed on the heroine. Her words had a devastating effect on Nocturne, a part of wanted to simply give up and allow the Madame to take her. It took all the remains of her strength to stand defiant. "Dream on!" she yelled, suddenly leaping forward, as fast as she could. Unfortunately, it wasn't merely enough; the red clad villainess simply moved aside and dodged the heroine's slow, out of focus strikes. "How amusing! I expected that you would not give up so easy, my little Nocturne! At first, at least. This will make claiming you so much more satisfying!" Madame Amour chuckled, as she grabbed Nocturne's hand and flipped her over, sending her rolling on the floor and towards the large bed. The heroine groaned and struggled to get back on her feet, as the Madame simply watched her, smirking. Nocturne jumped forward, trying to land another strike, however Madame Amour simply pushed her fist aside and landed a strike of her own straight on her chin. Nocturne grunted as she nearly fell again, but the Madame grabbed her shoulders from behind and then landed two hard knee strikes against her back. "Gaah!" the heroine groaned painfully, her back arching sharply, as the red clad villainess smiled in satisfaction. "Sorry for getting a little rough, but that was payback for last time. And now, the real fun can begin!" she said, twisting effortlessly both of Nocturne's hands behind her back, while her other hand moved on the heroine's sensitive body. "Oooh!" Nocturne's groan turned into a soft moan, causing the blond villainess to smile even wider. "Now that you don't have that annoying gas mask, I can finally get a taste of your sweet lips!" she whispered, and before Nocturne could realize what was happening, her soft lips had already been locked in a ferocious kiss. The brunette moaned weakly, feeling jolts of electricity flying through her spine, as the Madame held her closer and kissed her wildly, with uncontrollable passion, plundering her mouth. Nocturne remembered her kiss, remembered how it shook her last time, but this time it was even more intense. This time, she could only moan in response and simply surrender to the Madame's passion and aggression. "Finally! I've been waiting so long for this! I can finally have my revenge! Last time you got the better of me, but only barely! I had you, I made you tremble, but you defeated me! But this time, there is no escape! No last minute come back! I won't allow it! This time, I will make you scream!" Madame Amour hissed, as she reached for a strap around her thigh, took out a small vial, and gassed the heroine in her pretty face. "Haah! No, more of it!" Nocturne gasped, her entire body feeling as if it was on fire. "Don't worry, that was only a small dose. Something to make sure that you won't have any last, doubts. Now, let me show you who the true Mistress is!" Madame Amour purred with a seductive voice, as she slowly lowered the tight costume's front zipper, while still holding her arms, revealing her black bra and panties. "How magnificent! You really are my biggest conquest, my little Nocturne!" the red clad villainess purred, running her hand over the heroines exposed body. "Oooooh, oooooh ... ... " Nocturne could only moan in response, having lost all control of her body. Madame Amour silenced her with another intense lip lock, kissing her with everything she had, while her hand moved lower and groped her shapely rear, eliciting more moans from the heroine. "I have felt your wonderful breasts last time but now, it's time to get a taste of them too!" Madame Amour said with a husky voice, reaching for her strap again. Nocturne's vision was blurry, she could only see the flash of a small, shiny knife, before her bra snapped, allowing her ample breasts to bounce freely. The Madame wasted no time as she instantly assaulted the trapped heroine's firm breasts, enveloping a hardened nipple with her warm lips, while her hand folded and kneaded her other breast roughly. "Aaaaah! Aaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaaah!" Bethany let out a hard moan as she reached her climax hard, the sensations being too much for her oversensitive body. The Madame continued enjoying the heroine's firm breasts, kissing, liking, and sucking, driving the brunette into an erotic frenzy, until she finally seized her assault. "I did it again! The Mistress of the Night, has fallen for my touch!" Madame Amour smiled in satisfaction, as she held the weary heroine in her arms. "But, I am not done with you yet, my dear!" she whispered, as she grabbed Nocturne from behind and dragged her towards the bed. The blond mistress lied on the bed, pulling Nocturne on top of her, and then locked her legs firmly around the heroine's legs. "You remember this position, don't you? That's how I almost made you submit last time. This time however, you will submit! I will drive you over the edge again, and again, for the rest of the night! Until you give yourself to me! Until you admit that I am your mistress, and scream my name!" Madame Amour whispered in the trapped heroine's ear, slithering her hand lower over her drenched panties, while her other had moved over her exposed breasts. "No! You, won't make me say it! I won't, give in! No! Aaaaaaaah!" Nocturne struggled with her words, and then yelled at the top of her lungs, as the Madame's skillful fingers mover over her heated womanhood, driving her over the edge once again. "You will say it, my dear! It's only a matter of time!" Madame Amour whispered, and Nocturne knew that she was right. Her body had already given up, it wouldn't be long before her mind would give up as well. "I'm here, May!" Stacy said into her headset, as she landed on top of a building directly opposite to the building where Nocturne was held. "Good! I have lost contact with Nocturne a while ago, but she is clearly in that building! There are guards, but you need to get in there, fast!" May's voice was heard from the headset. "Don't worry, I'll get her out!" Stacy said calmly, as she leaned over the ledge of the rooftop to get a better look. "Two of them by the entrance, the rest of them are inside. No time for tactical approach this time. Only full charge!" the blond agent thought, as she reached for her belt and shot a grappling hook at the store. She remained still for a few seconds waiting for the right moment, and then leapt without hesitation. The two goons were randomly chatting with each other, wondering with dirty expressions if they were going to get their turn at the captured heroine, until one of them looked above, and his expression turned into pure shock. "What the ... Argh!" his words were cut by loud groan, as Stacy swung over and landed on him with a dropkick, the momentum of the swing sending both of them crushing through the front door, with the goon taking the full impact while the hitgirl simply rolled on the floor and got on her feet. The rest of the goons simply stared at her, completely dumbstruck from her entrance, giving Stacy enough seconds to quickly scan the area. "Only eight of them here, it may be possible that a few more are on the upper floor. Let's dance!" she thought, jumping forward and knocking another goon with a hard kick. "Get her!" one of the other goons yelled, snapping the rest of them of their stupor, as they all attacked with angry yells, with the second goon who stood outside the door joining too, but another one of them was dispatched with a swift strike. One of the goons moved behind Stacy and tried to grab her, but the blond simply flipped him over and used his own momentum to send him crashing against a wooden counter. Stacy then stepped over the counter and leaped over a rather large goon, wrapping her legs around his neck in a headscissor and sending him flying over another charging goon, taking both of them out. She instantly turned around with her fist in front of her, shooting two electric darts from her gauntlet, incapacitating two more goons. She ducked just in time to avoid a strike with a crowbar and landed a direct kick to the goon's stomach, followed by hard punch. The rest of the goons circled around her and attacked, but the agent moved swiftly around them taking them out with precise strikes, knocking the last one out with the crowbar that was used against her. Stacy took a moment to look around her, hearing steps from the stairs. One more goon came rushing down with a gun in hand, but he was met with the crowbar in the face, and rolled the rest of the stairs. "This should do it" Stacy thought as she rushed up the stairs, keeping her guard up for any more surprise encounters, but the goons had all been knocked out. "I'm surprised you held out for so long, Nocturne! I wonder if part of you actually enjoys being dominated like this!" Madame Amour chuckled, as Nocturne's body slowly stopped trembling after another mind blowing orgasm, allowing the heroine to pant exhaustively. "But that's enough. I think it's about time you admitted it! We both know you've reached your limit! Just tell me who your Mistress is! And then I'll give you what you want. I can allow you to rest for a bit. Or, I can give you even more pleasure!" the red clad villainess whispered. Nocturne was completely torn. Her body was completely spent, yet she craved for more. She wanted the Madame to touch her again. Her mind was fuzzy, her will all but sapped. She slowly parted her lips. "Ugh! What is all this ruckus? What are those idiots doing" Madame Amour said with a frustrated expression. Nocturne's half closed eyes opened behind her visor, her remaining will gathering as a ray of hope shone through her clouded mind. "It seems, somebody has crashed, your party" she panted, with a weak smile. Madame Amour looked down at her with an angry scowl, but her expression quickly changed. "How fortunate for you! Saved by the bell! I will have to cut our meeting short, but we will meet again! Remember, I win this time! And next time, I will win again!" the Madame whispered in Nocturne's ear, before she gave her a quick kiss on the lips. She then pushed the exhausted heroine on the bed, and moved quickly towards the door. "Hold it!" Stacy yelled, once she got out of the room. Madame Amour quickly threw a paralyzing bomb towards her, but Stacy countered by throwing one of her smokescreens. The two bombs collided, creating a cloud of smoke between the two women, causing them to keep their distance, but allowing the Madame to escape. It took a few moments for the smoke to settle, and once it was clear, Stacy saw no one on the other side of the hallway. The agent huffed but got quickly inside the room. She noticed the open safe which was full of small bottles and rare flowers, but her attention was quickly drawn towards the bed. "Nocturne!" she said worriedly, rushing to the heroine's side, and taking her into her arms. "You came!" Nocturne mumbled with a tired smile. "Of course I did! Are you okay?" Stacy said, quickly examining the heroine's body, and accidentally causing her to moan as she moved her fingers over her. "I'm fine! Just, really tired" Nocturne said, with a quickened breath. "Oh, I see!" Stacy responded with a knowing look, her worry being replaced with relief and a hint of amusement. "Well, since you had such a tiring night, I guess I should get you back to your place" she said lightly, helping the heroine back on her feet. "Sounds good. I could really use, a nice bath right now" Nocturne said slowly, her body slowly calming down. "I'm sure about it. Well, the cops should take care of things around here, so it's time for us to get out of here. Hold on!" Stacy said, as she lifted the weary heroine in her arms. Nocturne held on tightly against her, and welcomed the relief of the cool air on her heated body once they got out. Stacy quickly made her towards the spot where Nocturne had left her bike, and drove back to her place. On the way, Nocturne's mind started to clear again, and realized how close she had been to being completely defeated. Madame Amour had proved to be a cunning and formidable adversary and she had escaped again. It would be only a matter of time, before they met again.
