#tera constantine

Trigger warning: Murder, Sex, Violence, etc.

"Have a good day at work." Syrus sarcastically spoke with a grin as Tera walked past him, wrapped in her signature red dress and a black trench coat, Tera glancing over her shoulder with a smug on her red-stained lips. "You too~" She chimed.

Syrus adjusted his suit and rolled back his shoulders. He'd handed off the Constantine Company to his brothers for something more interesting. He was a murderous beast even if he hid it with class... His vampirism had been manageable but it was 'the nature of the species' according to Jonathan's girlfriend and topping that with the fact he'd been trained to fight... It was one of the secrets he kept close to his chest. Tera knew but didn't know the details, She thought it was voluntary.  Angeline knew more of the truth... There was a gap of time he disappeared that a lot of people didn't notice except for her.

The murder was something he knew he could handle and get away with and honestly, it was more comfortable than his office job...  

His task for the day was a woman who'd framed her spouse for her crimes. He knew the woman, vaguely. They'd bought stocks in his father's company but were always arrogant and rude at the events they attended.  He placed the dummy cellphone to his ear as he walked down the street. "Miss Myatt, I hope I'm not bothering you..."  He said softly, warmly.

"Who is this..?" The woman on the line asked.  Syrus letting out a soft laugh as he replied. "Syrus Constantine, I was hoping I could talk business with you for a moment. I'm near the penthouse; if it wouldn't be a bother..."  The tone changed instantly as she sweetened up. " Oh~ Of course, Come right up..."

Tera ran her fingers through her hair to achieve the appropriate amount of class and sexuality, wiping a small smear of lipstick off her bottom lip before stepping into the elevator as it arrived, purposefully letting her heel get caught on the grate and stumbling, falling into the arms of the older man in the elevator who caught her quickly, looking up at him coyly as her body pressed against his. "Oh my god, I am so sorry~! Thank you~!" She acted flustered as she adjusted herself and got her feet under her. The man hooked as his eyes trailed as she stepped to the other side of the elevator a little. "Not a problem... What floor?" He asked as the doors shut, Tera looked at him in silence for a moment as a small smile slid on her lips. "You tell me..." She said softly as the man's face turned red.

He paused before pressing one of the buttons, looking at her again.  "What's your name, beautiful..?"

"Sandy." She used a false name as she toyed with a strand of her hair, letting the trench coat fall off her shoulders as she watched him.  "And you, Handsome..?" She asked and he swallowed before speaking. "James..."

Syrus sighed as the elevator had closed right as he walked in the lobby and opted to take the stairs rather than wait for it, of course, the fifth floor was a bit of a walk. He adjusted his tie as he knocked on the door to the penthouse apartment. As he expected, Miss Myatt was dressed in a skimpy little skirt and shirt that he honestly felt Tera would fill out better, She was a former trophy wife who'd taken her husband through the wringer not that he didn't deserve it... She wasn't the woman she once was but the rumors of her cheating with younger men didn't surprise him. She'd flirt with him in the past.   He kept a smile on his lips as he stepped inside.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Emily." He smiled as he closed the door behind him, looking around. "Your husband isn't around, is he?"  

"It's just me and you." She said with a grin and Syrus just simply smiled. "Perfect. I'd rather discuss this matter with you..." He spoke softly.

The elevator ended up making a few wrong stops as Tera's back pressed against the buttons, The man's lips trailing along her neck and chest. Her hands running under his shirt to play along; Her red lipstick staining his shirt and as his hands pressed between her thighs she grabbed his hand, smirking. "Not here.." She teased and he let out a sigh, nodding as he ran his fingers through his hair. As the elevator hit the right floor, stepping out quickly, Tera's hand in his.

Tera darted along behind him, giggling. The two racing down the hallway as he fumbled with his keys to unlock the door, Her hand catching his suddenly as she looked at his wedding ring and he shook his head. "She won't be here." He stated, At least, he believed that was the case as he opened the door to the empty apartment, pulling Tera into his arms before pushing her back against the door to close it, His hand pushing between her legs as she was formulating the rest of her plan...  Her eyebrow cocking as she spotted a familiar jacket on the back of a chair and a drop of blood spotted on the clean wood floor.  

"You're a dirty man, aren't you..?" She chimed teasingly, He didn't catch her true meaning behind that as he chuckled. "I can't help myself..."   She pushed him back playfully as she watched behind him for a moment, Her eyes speaking for her as she stepped back suddenly and covered her mouth with a false gasp. James tensing as he turned around, expecting his wife. Instead, Syrus stood with a handtowel, wiping his bloodied hands.

The two of them already had put together the full story and decided to play with the man.  James's demeanor fading as he snarled. "You were supposed to be done already! What am I paying you for?"   Syrus cocked a brow as he rested the bloodied handtowel over his shoulder as he would if he was cooking, folding his arms. "You weren't supposed to bring some floozy here." He teased.  Tera held back the scoff, playing dumb and confused as if she suddenly realized what she figured out when she first saw Syrus's coat and the blood drip on the floor. "Y-you hired someone to murder your wife?!" She acted up a storm as she shouted and James moved, Slamming her rougher against the wall as he covered her mouth.   "Shut up." He snapped, looking at Syrus. "I'll give you an extra million if you kill her too. Get rid of both of them." He snapped quickly. Tera pretending to be wide-eyed as she began to hit against him, holding back. Syrus nodding as he walked over, taking over as he pinned Tera. "Transfer the money, first."

James paused, scoffing. "fuck." He mumbled as he pulled out his phone, Syrus waiting until his own phone buzzed before lingering. James staring at him, glaring. "What? Do it already!"  

Tera finally snorted, bursting into laughter. "Really? My life is only worth and extra grand?"  Syrus shifted, his grip softening as his fingers slid along her slide and he leaned in, kissing her gently. "Eh. I figured I could use it to get you a nice Christmas present..."

The confusion on James face faded to terror as he stared at the two, "W-what- ?!" Syrus dully glancing at him. "Unlike you, I have no intention of killing my wife..." He teased. James's eyes were wide, stepping towards the door only for Tera to lift her gun that she'd slipped out while Syrus 'pinned' her, firing and hitting him in the side of the head. The silencer keeping it quiet as his blood splattered across the wall and he crumpled to the floor.
