Thaddeus and Natasha talk about the Gala.

-x-X-x-

“You want me to come with you to a Hellfire Gala?”

Natasha’s disbelief is palpable as the gorgeous red head bounces up and down on his dick. Sometimes Thaddeus wished he could have a conversation with the beautiful femme fatale without it devolving into sex, but at this point this was just their relationship. Natasha Romanoff had effectively switched to his side and she’d done so specifically for more power.

She’d turned on her masters in SHIELD, agreeing to help him stonewall the spy organization so long as he wasn’t asking her to do anything that was akin to committing suicide. In exchange, Thaddeus’ end of the bargain involved fucking the red head whenever they got the chance, in order to increase her abilities and make her stronger, faster, and more powerful than either the Red Room or SHIELD could ever hope to do for her.

As such, just having a normal, platonic conversation was out of the question, especially with how busy Thaddeus was most days. So in the end, this talk had to happen at the same time that they were fucking.

... Not that he could ever really get bored of Natasha’s body anyways. She might not be the most powerful woman he’s fucked, but she has one of the most perfect bodies, hands down. And considering the variety of beauties in his life, that in and of itself was saying something wasn’t it?

Full breasts but not too large. Wide hips but not too wide. Thick, powerful thighs and a perfectly heart-shaped ass. And beneath it all was the flexibility that allowed her to go from standing to wrapping her legs around an enemy and snapping their neck in under a second. She truly put both femme and fatale in the moniker ‘femme fatale’. In fact, if one were to find that phrase in the dictionary, Natasha Romanoff’s face would have to be next to it.

That all said... Thaddeus sighs and shakes his head at her question.

“I was hoping to get your opinion on the idea first, actually. See what you think of it. But... yes. You’re at the top of my very short list of candidates.”

Natasha hums, slowing her bouncing for a moment. Sinking all the way to the base of his cock, she gyrates her hips instead as she mulls it over. Truth be told, Thaddeus didn’t know for sure that Natasha was his best bet for a Plus One. He’d talked it over with Emma and Cessily, as well as debriefing with Emma on everything that had happened in the brief time span since she’d sent him off to fuck Domino.

He'd been quick to discard the option of going solo. Maybe if his position in the Hellfire Club was more secured he would have had the confidence to do so, but going in alone when he was literally nobody felt like a losing gambit. Either he would fade into the background completely and attract zero attention, or he would attract all sorts of the wrong attention and it would result in disaster.

After that, he’d thought about Laura. He knew he could count on Laura for an awful lot. He knew, or at least he believed she was more loyal to him than the X-Men at this point. And he could even picture her in a dress, hanging off his arm and looking as beautiful as she did lethal.

... However, the longer he held that mental image in his head, the more it morphed into something else. Something bloody. Laura in a dress but covered in the blood of her enemies. Could he really count on her to keep her cool in a room full of potential enemies? More than that, what if she was recognized and they were confronted?

That fear of recognition had been what made Thaddeus consider Mystique next. She was the perfect infiltrator, after all. She could be literally anyone he wanted, in the end. Really, if one took Mystique for just her mutation, she was the correct choice every time.

Unfortunately, her loyalty was distinctly in question. Where Thaddeus was pretty sure someone like Laura would side with him over the X-Men by now, he was equally sure that someone like Mystique would side with the Brotherhood over him. And why wouldn’t she? She practically WAS the Brotherhood at this point.

Bringing a leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants to a Hellfire Gala might not be an immediate disaster of an idea, but the only lever of control that Thaddeus had for Mystique was her adoptive daughter and he was loathe to abuse that. Mostly because he actually liked Rogue and would never hurt her, making it a pretty terrible lever.

That just left Natasha. Natasha, who had already agreed to serve him for power. Natasha, who was an excellent infiltrator and a gorgeous woman in her own rights. Natasha, who could be counted on to maintain her cover and her decorum, no matter what happened.

“... You’re hoping to make them underestimate you by taking your College RA to this event then?”

Thaddeus smiles at that, inclining his head slightly.

“That’s only part of it.”

Narrowing her eyes, Natasha considers those words for a moment.

“You think some of them will recognize me for what I truly am. You’re intending to have the uninformed and lacking among them underestimate you, while the more informed and knowledgeable will respect you.”

“If... if you want me to turn on SHIELD officially, I can do so. But you and Emma Frost need to be ready to help me hide. Only then will I be able to continue serving you.”

Her pussy walls flex and clench around his cock at that last bit, clearly intentional. Thaddeus, meanwhile, finds himself momentarily lost in thought. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. That’s what it sounds like Natasha is telling him. And yet...

“That’s fine. I’ll bring you along and you’ll report to SHIELD afterwards.”

It’s miniscule, but the gorgeous femme fatale impaled upon his cock jolts in surprise at those words. He can tell she’s caught off guard by his casual acceptance. And he can also tell that she notices him noticing her surprise. Narrowing her eyes, Natasha’s frown grows a bit.

“... You’re alright with SHIELD learning about whatever happens at this Gala, Thaddeus?”

Shrugging, Thaddeus grins up at the beautiful red head, before suddenly flipping them both over. The former Black Widow exhales sharply as the air is briefly knocked out of her lungs, while Thaddeus looms over her, his cock still inside of her clenching, sopping wet cunt.

“Sure. From what Emma’s told me, it’s just a party anyways. It’s not even my party, even though it’s my introduction to Hellfire. Apparently, they hold these events all the time. I’m not really expecting anything too major to happen at the Gala, so doesn’t that make it kind of perfect for shoring up your credibility with SHIELD? You’ll attend on my arm, you’ll see what there is to see, and you’ll report back to your superiors. It’s a win-win.”

Natasha groans under him, and not just because of how good his cock feels inside of her from the look of things. Though it’s also at least partially that.

“Nngh... and w-what if something d-does happen? I’ll have to r-report that too, you know...”

Thaddeus just shrugs again, even as he plows the beautiful red head silly. Fuck he loves fucking Natasha. She’s just so perfectly suited for it, almost like she was designed to give men pleasure. To be fair, from what he knows she kind of was. She was just also designed for killing. And in many cases, she was designed for giving pleasure and then killing.

The thought sends a shiver down Thaddeus’ spine, but he’s not too worried at this point. He’s a fair bit tougher than the usual sort that someone like Natasha would be sent to kill.

“Then you’ll report it. It’s not like I or Emma have any intentions of committing any crimes at the Gala. If you do see something you have to report to SHIELD, do it and let them take care of it. The only members of Hellfire that Emma and I hold loyalty towards are each other. Everyone else is fair game.”

Natasha still looks a little hesitant and unconvinced, but the more he fucks her, the more she seems to come around to it, until she’s wrapping her arms and legs around him tightly and moaning as she nods her acquiescence.

“A-Alright then... if that’s what you want to do, I’m in.”

Thaddeus grins. While there might come a time when having Natasha betray SHIELD for real and then helping her to hide would be the only solution... that time had yet to come. For now, at least, Natasha was way more valuable as a SHIELD Agent then she was as an Ex-SHIELD Agent. And if that meant burning some unimportant part of the Hellfire Club in the process by siccing SHIELD on them, so be it.

Burying his face in the crook of Natasha’s neck, he enjoys her melodic moans as she cums again and again on his pistoning prick. Then, finally, he thrusts into her drooling pussy one last time before unloading inside of her. He can feel his red headed pet spy shudder under him in orgasmic pleasure as the pulse of power goes through them.

He knew Natasha was more like a feral animal than a housecat. She wasn’t truly loyal to him; she was loyal to the power he gave her. But that was alright, because Thaddeus was an endless font of that power. So long as Natasha stuck with him, she wouldn’t need to worry about power ever again.

Pulling out of her, Thaddeus leaves the femme fatale to recover on the bed, even as he starts pulling clothes on. He still has a schedule to adhere to after all, on top of preparing for the fast-approaching Gala. Who knew what was coming next around the corner? But one thing was for sure... he would be there to meet it, shoulders squared and stance set.
