Tumblr media
Tonight had been advertised as the night to end all nights— a masquerade ball held by the king at the palace, and a brightly lit ballroom decorated with gold and the continent's finest silk, adorning the kingdom's rose insignia. Entertainers and musicians positioned around the vicinity to perform their best acts and tunes, and the gates were left wide open to welcome everyone who wanted to join in, given that they tried their best to dress for the occasion.
Today was an event open to all the kingdom's citizens, from high seated nobles to common men by the streets, everyone was welcome to participate in the king's annual ball. However, that fact didn't matter for a family such as yours. Your father was the Marquess, which meant that you were invited to every single ball or gathering held by the nobility for the nobility. At least, that was how it had been until the incident.
The peering eyes of both the nobles and commoners alike have left you frozen on your spot by the pillar. Your bright red ball gown, although beautiful, was not helping you hide away from the eyes of the crowd. It was evident they were all thinking the same thing.
The unfortunate daughter of a fallen marquess.
News had gotten out about your family's crisis and had spread to the public like a disease. The Grand Marquess losing money, property, and power: The fall of a great noble. The story made headlines for weeks on end— rumors mixing in with the truth, and eventually, everyone had drawn the same conclusion. Pitiful.
You worry about your parents at the other end of the room, doing their best to mingle with the other nobles. The heavy atmosphere was weighing down on your chest.
Closing your eyes and taking a deep breath, you try to think of the things that calmed you down: the rustic smell of old books at the public library, the warm feeling you'd get when the rays of sunlight touch your skin as you sit by the window with your face buried deep into your favorite classic, the bright smile the common mage boy would give you everytime you crossed paths—
"Wow."
A familiar voice brings you back from your thoughts.
"You look incredible in that." The same bright smile you'd envisioned earlier now stood in front of you.
You gaze in awe at the man before you, dressed in what you could only describe as the most beautiful and elegant ensemble you'd seen tonight. The way the white suit hugged his waist left little room for the imagination. You doubt even the king himself could top this off.
"Lady Y/N. I believe fate must have brought us together in this fine evening." The man gently bends down, taking your hand and planting a kiss so fleeting that you barely felt it. Even with the golden mask on, you could easily tell who it was.
"Kai.."
"Ah, and here I was hoping I'd be a little more mysterious tonight." Kai holds back his laughter as he gazed upon you once more. You can't help but do the same.
Tonight, he looked nothing of a common mage but that of a king himself. If you hadn't known him beforehand, you would've mistaken him as so, especially with tonight's main event— the reveal of the king's successor. But alas, what the mage boy had going on for him was merely for appearances. A commoner like him could never be king in a world where even dreaming of becoming one was considered to be of highest absurdity.
"I thought you said you weren't attending?"
Kai shrugs, folding his hands behind his back. "And refuse my lady when you so graciously asked me out?"
His response catches you off guard. "I don't recall ever asking you anything of that sort."
"You asked if I'd attend."
"And that counts as asking you out?"
Kai chuckles. "When you asked me with such a cute look on your face, it was difficult to think you weren't looking forward to me being here."
And he was right. Given your circumstances, Kai being here with you was like a breath of fresh air. You'd been praying all night that he'd magically arrive to help you take your mind off of things, and you felt like crying out in joy when he actually did.
Kai looks around, seemingly getting a sense of the pressure you were in. "Shall we take a stroll around the garden, my lady?"
You follow his line of sight and spot the royal garden just outside the window. "I'll let you accompany me if you drop the whole my lady business."
Kai purses his lips as he takes your hand in his. "Can't you let me be fancy for one night?"
Every moment you'd spent with Kai up until this point had been the highlight of your days. As the daughter of the Marquess, you'd spent most of your time holed up inside your manor. Women barely got any education aside from the usual classes on manners and societal etiquette, and that included nobles as well. But that never stopped you. Once a week, when the guards changed shifts by the gate, and the maids and butlers were all busy with the weekly general cleaning, you'd take the opportunity to slip out in disguise, undetected by anyone. The main goal was to get to the public library and obtain access to educational material— ones that didn't involve any prim and proper rubbish that you've read over a thousand times.
The first time outside was rather difficult. You barely managed to get inside the library's more educational section while passing as a man. However, every succeeding attempt became easier and easier until coming out in secret and gaining access didn't seem like that much of a hassle anymore.
At the library, you were free to read any book you want, and used this opportunity to brush up on some business and economics as well as some of the basic sciences. You spent the first few months stocking up on knowledge until you felt it fine to relax a little and start reading novels to pass the time without the help of a disguise.
There was a section in the library that you hadn't checked; one that you'd deemed unnecessary as it only contained children's literature. It wasn't until you'd heard the sound of a man's voice followed by children's laughter that you felt compelled enough to take a peek.
"And then, the dragon swooped down onto the village and attacked the innocent villagers! ROARRR. Breathing fire as hot as, well, uh— FIRE!"
You slipped up and giggled at the young man's amusing narration, piping down a bit after realizing that he had noticed you from behind the shelves, throwing a knowing smirk your way.
It was then that he pulled down his cloak. Wavy brown locks gracefully reaching the back of his neck, bright eyes that could make any person let their guard down— he looked around your age which made you feel more at ease.
The young man steps back, dramatically breathing fire out of his mouth as the children cheered. Some were yelling at him to continue until only smoke came out, and you swore you heard one of them ask if he could make the fire turn green. Ridiculous, you think. But you were no different from these children, only being able to stand there in awe at the young man's trick. Perhaps turning the fire green wasn't such a terrible idea.
You've heard of mages among the commoners before, and had met a few that visited your manor but this was the first time you'd seen one in action. The flames that came out of his mouth looked awfully hot but the young man didn't even blink or showed any signs of pain.
He stops the fire and clears his throat, now kneeling down to face the children. "The villagers were worried sick! What would happen to their crops, their produce, their livelihood? If only a hero would come along and save them!" He makes an overly exaggerated wail before gasping.
"Well, who do we have here? A warrior has come to save the villagers!" The young man points at your direction and you feel your blood run cold as all the children in the room had turned their attention towards you, hopeful.
"A young maiden has arrived to slay the evil dragon!"
You quickly shake your head at his statement, holding your arms out in a cross. "No, kids. Don't believe what this man says. I am not a warrior, and I'm certainly not here to slay any dragons"
The young man raises a brow, getting up from his spot. "Then why do you have the magical sword that was forged to slay the mighty dragon?"
"What sword?"
The young man snaps his fingers. "That sword."
The weight on your hips dip on one side and you couldn't believe your eyes as a sheathed sword had magically manifested beside your waist out of thin air. "How did you— wait, is this a real sword?! You can't play around with real swords in front of children!"
The children turn towards the young man in confusion.
"Well, kids. Do you want the kind lady to slay the dragon with a real sword?"
"YES!" The children cheered.
The young man turns to you with a smile. "You gotta give the kids what they want, Miss."
An exasperated expression makes its way to your face. "I am not slaying any made up dragons!"
"Now, what's all this talk about slaying dragons?"
Taehyun, one of the stricter librarians, had come out of nowhere, surprising everyone. His eyes scan the room and quickly notices three things: (1) the dangerous sword hanging on your waist, (2) the excessive amount of children in the room when the sign on the way in definitely mentioned a capacity of only five, and (3) someone let the mage boy inside the library again. The culprit was evident.
"Jung Kai, I swear to the heavens I will—"
"Alright kids, time to go! We'll end the story next time!" The young man, Kai, rushes the disappointed children out of the section before they heard something they shouldn't.
You were about to walk away yourself but was quickly stopped by Taehyun's hand blocking your path. "Kai, didn't I tell you that you're not allowed to perform magic inside the library? And seriously," He confiscates the sword on your waist, holding it up in the air. "Violence?"
Kai looks at you and grins. "I suppose we could've gone with a more romantic ending. Something like the warrior's kiss saving the dragon from his curse, and he turns back into this super handsome, super cute, and super macho mage."
The way he shamelessly described himself left you speechless, and you steal a glance at the librarian who looked as equally disgusted as you are.
"Just clean up the mess before you leave. And that means you too, Miss Dragon Slayer."
"But I didn't even—" You cut yourself off after Taehyun dismisses himself from the room.
The section falls silent and Kai walks up to you, a smile ever present in his face. "I'm guessing this is the start of our new friendship?"
And that was what started it all. Everytime you'd visit the library after that, you seemed to bump into Kai more often than you liked. He saw through the disguise the first time he saw you wearing it and had promised to not utter a single word to anyone. The mage boy was much more reliable than he seemed to be, often helping you in your studies and teaching you more than the books ever could. Sometimes, he'd convince you to take a stroll around town and had shown you sights and wonders you wouldn't have expected to see inside the kingdom.
Before you knew it, Kai had become someone you'd cherished, and someone whose company you genuinely appreciated. He was patient and understanding as your makeshift mentor, and was this fun and outgoing guy whenever you two were out together. Kai became the first friend you'd made on your own regardless of status and the only friend you wished to keep by your side.
"I take it that the people in the ballroom were too much?" Kai speaks the moment arrived at the garden.
"Please. I couldn't even breathe in there." You play it off with a chuckle but thoughts of worry still plague your mind. "I'm guessing you probably know by now."
"About what? The fact that you're the daughter of the Marquess or that the Marquess has been in a crisis for a while?"
"Both."
Kai reaches for your hand, holding it reassuringly. "I've known for a while but that doesn't change anything now, does it? We became friends without the burden of our status, and we'll stay as friends regardless."
You hated this, hated how he always knew exactly what to say. The heat rushes up to your face and you squeeze his hand tighter, avoiding eye contact. "Thank you."
But truthfully, there was a little voice in Kai's head that wished you could be something more. Not after you'd shared those intimate moments alone at the library at dusk, not after he rushed in to catch you in his arms when you fell while shelving a book on the top shelves, and especially not after you almost shared a kiss after saying goodbye that night he'd helped you sneak back in.
Even now, as he lovingly gazed at your silhouette beneath the moonlight, he'd hoped that he'd have the chance to tell you how he felt. But then again, the chance could be right now at this very moment. The two of you were, afterall, at the king's ball.
"So, how were the gentlemen earlier?"
"What?" You raise your head to face Kai.
"I've no doubt that hundreds of people had been lining up to dance with you all evening." Kai grins as he gently lets go of your hand.
"Please, I haven't danced at all tonight."
"I find that quite hard to believe."
You sigh, recalling the events from earlier. "No one would want to be seen dancing with a fallen Marquess' daughter now would they?"
"Not when you look this beautiful?" Kai jokingly walks around you and you shy away from his gaze.
"You know I never say things I don't mean, Y/N." Kai bends down and holds your hands in his. "And believe me, I don't think anyone could ever be as lovely as you."
"Is flattery your main personality trait now?" You say as an attempt to not let his compliment affect you any further than it should but fail miserably so.
Kai stands before you with an unreadable expression. You'd argue this was the most serious look he's ever had since you'd met him.
"Care to dance?" Kai asks, leaning in closer, your faces merely inches apart. You feel your heart beating loudly in your chest, and you're almost afraid he might hear.
The moonlight casts a shadow on Kai's face, and despite the darkness, his eyes glistened, reflecting your own as you stared into his. You've never seen anyone look so beautiful. And here he was, telling you that you're the loveliest person he's ever known.
"Right now?"
Kai nods, taking off his mask and tossing it over to the side. "And I'd like it if we could dance without our masks too. I've been wanting to get a good look at your face all night."
You chuckle, removing your mask and tossing it to to the ground next to his. "And how do you suppose we dance without music? My reputation's already dirt at this point and I do not want to be branded as the crazy noble dancing at the royal garden in complete silence."
Kai fails to suppress his laughter, holding on to your shoulder to maintain himself upright. "Well, I wouldn't want to let my dear lady look crazy now would I?"
"And what are you planning to do?"
"Well, I am a mage." Kai smirks as he manifests a scepter out of thin air, leaving a trail of golden dust flurrying down.
This was the first time you've ever seen it in person. Kai had mentioned how he needed the aid of his scepter to perform high level magic, but he'd never taken it out in front of you until now. One look at the scepter and anyone could tell not just any old mage owned the darn thing. It looked majestic by all means, intricately decorated with gold and topped off with a brightly colored red gemstone you couldn't seem to identify. You'd heard that mages often created their own unique gemstones as a manifestation of their mana but for Kai's to be red, which had been said to be a quite powerful variant, made you wonder just how powerful your friend had been.
"And here we go." Kai takes the scepter in his hand and drives it into the ground. The impact causes a wave of light to burst from the scepter and spread throughout the reaches of garden. In a split-second, the wave of light rushes back into its source, compressing into a huge orb of light lifting up into the sky, rivaling the moon with its glow. The orb splits into smaller pieces and starts to dance around the garden, leaving you in awe at the spectacle.
Kai finds himself grinning from ear to ear at your reaction. He'd studied magic as an expression of rebellion against his father but now, he'd found another purpose to perform these little tricks of his. He places his hand on your waist and pulls you closer. "Wait for it."
The orbs of light find their places around you, slowly taking the shape of various instruments you've seen inside the ballroom, from strings to percussions, and even wind instruments. Smaller pieces of light continued to hover the surroundings, resembling glowing fireflies in the dark.
"Kai, this is beautiful." You look up at the young man, and he steps away, bowing his head as he plants yet another kiss on the back of your hand.
"May I have this dance?"
His eyes meet yours and you feel your heart skip a beat. It was rather difficult to explain. The Kai in front of you right now had been the same Kai you've always known, but somehow.. different.
You raise your hand for him to take, guiding your other hand to find perch on his shoulder, and his finding its place on your waist. With the first step, the instruments started playing. It's a piece you've heard before, one that Kai had fondly hummed nearly everytime you were together at the library.
It was as if the world had faded into the distance, and at this moment, there was only you and him, dancing alone in the garden. He pulls you close, his hold gentle and warm. Kai spins you around. The heel of your shoe collides with a rock, and you nearly stumble back until Kai manages to grab you by the waist on time, pulling you back into his arms.
You spot the smirk on his face under the moonlight, and you press a finger against his lips. "Not one word."
"I wasn't going to say anything." Kai lets you go, and you quickly grab a hold of his arms to find balance.
"Of course you weren't."
"Well, I do have something I have to tell you. A few things, actually."
You cock a brow at him, and he steps forward. "I'll tell you the most important part first."
"And that is?"
Kai reaches out to cup your cheeks, gazing into your eyes as if asking permission. You didn't need to say anything for him to understand, and he closes the gap between you, pressing his lips against yours. The feeling was foreign but certainly welcome, and you soon close your eyes and reciprocate, wanting to feel more of his soft lips, and wanting to hold him closer and closer.
For long had you held out on this, on actually acknowledging your growing feelings for the lad in fear of having to live with the thought of him not feeling the same. But in this moment, you felt a heavy burden being lifted from your shoulders.
"Kai, I.."
The light from the orbs dim down and soon dissipates. Kai pulls away, gazing upon your flushed face. "You mean the world to me, Y/N. I don't think my life would ever be the same without you."
The trumpets blare in the ballroom, a signal that the new king was to make an appearance soon. You feel Kai's hand around yours. "As for my other confession, I think it's best we head back first."
He leads you back into the ballroom, and disappears the moment you find your parents in the crowd. You join them in the center as everyone gathers to get a glimpse at the new king.
The herald makes his way beside the grand staircase, straightening himself up to make the announcement that every citizen had been waiting to hear all evening.
"Presenting the next in line to the throne, to rule the vast lands of our esteemed nation, and lead us into a continuing era of prosperity! Our future King, His Royal Highness, Kai Kamal Huening!"
The doors open, revealing Kai, your Kai, adorned in the royal family's crest, robes, and jewelries as he made himself known to his loyal subjects.
Behind him was public librarian, Kang Taehyun, who had been revealed to be serving as one oc the King's advisors, and now, for the new monarch.
"Long live the King!"
Kai could pick out your from the crowd in a heartbeat, hos gaze meeting yours as he flashes you his signature smile. You couldn't believe what was happening— Kai, your best friend in the whole world, had just confessed his love to you. And now, that same Kai had revealed to you and to the public that he had been the future ruler of the country all along. The crowds cheered.
"Long live the King!"
"Long live the King." You whisper to yourself, wondering what the future has in store for you.

࿇ ══━━━━✥◈✥━━━━══ ࿇
The young raven haired man strolled through the crowds of other guests, taking a glance or two whenever something seemed to catch his eyes. But those glances were only fleeting. There seemed to be nothing particularly interesting in any of them.
He took in the scene before him: long, glittering ball gowns spun around, either in tune to the orchestra playing or in a presumptuous effort to be shown off to others. The male specimen differed no greater than their female counterparts, often standing up straighter or running a hand down their expensive and delicately tailored suits, except they were willing to take it a step further and actually discuss how much they paid for it.
Foolish mortals
He scoffed as he studied each one of them. It was truly sickening to him how much humanity had reached its lowest point. More frequently than not, he noticed how humans more than ever were vain, prideful, arrogant, egotistic and disdainful of anything or anyone who wasn't them.
It wasn't entertaining anymore. He recalls a time many centuries ago when he would get a thrill out of corrupting the innocent, driving the wisest of beings into insanity, destroying picture perfect marriages and making the purest of souls fall into an abyss of sin and darkness.
What was the point of trying to do all that now when some of them are destined for destruction since the moment of their birth? It truly irritated him.
Sighing he picked up a glass of wine from one of the trays carried around by the many butlers, poor useless souls as he liked to refer to them. He sipped on the crimson liquid, it's alcoholic venom doing nothing to him even though it was probably his 13th one already.
13? Was it?
He lost count. He shrugged it off though. He could drink it as if it were pure water, his kind were immune to this substance unlike humanity.
He snorted when he'd look at certain people's masks. While most went all fancy and elegant, others decided to have fun and make sure their attire stood out, in the form of red or black masks, adorned with either fangs, horns and overall rather gruesome or grotesque visages. Clearly they were meant to represent none other than his fellow kindred. He scoffed at their personification of him.
"Damnable bastards. If only you knew we are some of the most beautiful creatures to walk next to you....."
Perhaps that's the main reason why they all, man or woman, no matter their age, education or social status, end up ensnared by them. They were irresistible.
He was about to walk out of the hall, bored out of his non-existent soul, when a small titter caught his ears. Turning his face towards the sound, his breath was caught at the sight of an ethereal looking woman. His eyes scanned her from head to toe. She was absolutely perfect: from her luscious (enter color) hair, to her satin smooth skin, all the way down the her tempting figure. Her scarlet colored dress was impeccably on her, the deep plunge in the chest decorated with sequins and rhinestones daring men to not gaze at her cleavage. The waistline was fitted and then fanned out to accentuate her captivating body. Anyone would think this lady was sin itself, she certainly looked the part.
But San knew better. He could see and feel the aura around her. She was wholly pure, absolutely nothing to signify that she'd been stained or deemed unclean. She was simply an overly sheltered girl who no doubt wanted to fit in, be regarded as a mundane person like the rest of them.
Absolutely perfect if you asked him.
He sauntered in her direction, his devilish smirk plastered on his face. Sensing a pair of eyes, she tilted her head and made contact with the demon, now unable to look away from his alluring gaze. Even through the mask covering half of his face, she knew he was the most handsome man she'd ever see, albeit she'd never seen a lot of men in her life anyway.
Inexperienced and naive as she was, she let him stand next to her and take her hand. Lifting it up to his lips, he introduced himself:
"Choi San. Pleased to make your acquaintance my fair lady."
Delicately, he placed a kiss to her fingers, before releasing them from his hold. His touch was cold, but it sent a burning sensation up her entire arm and she found herself longing for his touch again almost instantly.
"L/N Y/N..." She replied in a voice that was merely above a whisper.
"A truly befitting name for such an angelic lady."
He chuckled to himself at his use of the word. If he was successful, which he always was, by the end of the night, there'd be nothing angelic left about her.
He extended his arm out towards her.
"May I have the pleasure of requesting the next dance?"
He made it a point to flash his dimples, knowing they only added to his charm and rendered women unable to refuse him. She stood up and linked her arm in his. He felt a shiver when she touched him, a feeling he only felt when his kind were in the proximity of a pure soul. It was precisely what he'd been craving for who knows how long. Definitely more than a hundred years since the last time he felt such a presence.
He guided her to the dance floor, the other couples already in position. If there was anything San prided himself on, it was his dancing. He's had years of experience to learn almost every dance that had been created, not only because it added to his attractiveness, but because it truly was one of the few mundane things he thoroughly enjoyed.
He especially loved the waltz they were currently playing. Waltzes were so elegant, refined, polished and were perfect when seducing someone. Intense eye contact, hands intertwined and his arm pulling her close to him, he could see a glimpse of the light blush peeking out underneath her ebony mask. She was flustered, exactly how he wanted her. They were practically gliding across the dance floor, perfectly in tune with the music playing.
"Did you come alone?" San decided it was time to strike up a conversation before going for the kill.
Y/N simply nodded, looking down somewhat ashamed. Instantly he knew she was probably not supposed to be here in the first place.
Interesting detail.
"Tired of sitting at home all bored?" He raised an eyebrow at her, but already knowing the answer.
"Can you tell?" She asked, wondering if he could read her mind.
"Well..... I can tell a lot of things about you..."
Releasing his hold on her waist, he lifted his hand to spin her around before bringing her back into his embrace, now closer than before.
"Things like what?" She wanted him to elaborate.
He hummed along to the music, making her impatient for his answer.
"Like..... how you want something exciting to happen tonight. Your eyes are practically for something, anything, that contrasts the dull life you've lived so far..."
She widened her eyes when he spoke those words. Was she that easy to read? That a mere stranger could notice that about her?
"And your countenance only serves to confirm my theory." He finished.
She sighed softly and loosened her grip on him, wanting to walk away, but he only tightened his hold on her. He smirked at her and leaned in, whispering dangerously close to her lips:
"Why don't you let me open up a new world for you?"
࿇ ══━━━━✥◈✥━━━━══ ࿇
The girl fluttered her eyes open, soft blissful pants escaping her lips. It had been a while since they left the mansion, where San took her to what she assumed was his place. Ruby red walls with matching velvet carpet, umber brown furniture, candles in every corner being the only illuminating feature in the dark room. The only exception was the bed. It was a pitch black color with white sheets and blanket.
Her dress had long been discarded in one of the chairs in the room, the only article clothing her at the moment being her cream colored garter belt with matching thigh high stockings. San thought they looked absolutely adorable on her. The visual only heightened his need to claim her, to corrupt her, to stain her forever with his unholy mark.
He was currently in between her legs, his mouth attached to her heat. Purple blotches were already decorating her inner thighs, courtesy of his teeth. He swirled his tongue around her clit before sucking down on it. He moaned and that action alone made her thighs tremble and close around his head. But he was having none of that. His hands pushed her thighs apart again, nails digging into her petal soft skin as he continued to ravish and feast on her succulent taste.
"S-San...wait...feels f-funny...." She stuttered out after a few minutes.
He knew exactly what she was referring to: she had about to have an orgasm. As much as he'd love to see her come undone on his tongue alone, he made an effort to pull himself back before the feeling got too intense. She let out a whine of frustration and looked at him with a puzzled look, unsure of what was happening.
San ran his thumb across her lip.
"Don't worry darling. I told you I'll open up a new world for you..
And I always keep my promises."
Unzipping his pants, he pushed them down his legs and threw them onto the floor. He smirked as he took in Y/N's astonishment as she gaped at his nude form, or more specifically, at his thick and long length. She seemed to hesitate for a minute, no doubt intimidated by his size, wondering how was that supposed to fit in her.
Climbing on top of her, he placed a reassuring kiss to her temple.
"I'll take good care of you darling...trust me."
His lips captured hers in a hungry kiss. His tongue slipped inside and danced around her mouth, almost like the waltz from hours before. His hands went to the back of her thighs, lifting them up and wrapping them around his waist. He lifted his hips up slowly, the tip of his cock pressing against her folds. He began slipping inside her, going inch by inch so she could get adjusted to the feeling, not wanting to scare her.
Although it took a lot in him to not just pound into her as he wished to.
She wrapped her thighs tighter around his waist, the foreign and stinging feeling of his intrusion causing her to hiss and cry out a little. San peppered kisses across her jaw and neck in an effort to soothe the pain, while his hands drew circles around her thighs. He stayed still until he felt her relax under him. She looked back at him, her face asking what to do now.
"I'm going to start moving now ok? Just relax and let yourself go."
He pulled out of her in a speed that was torturous to him. Then he slowly pushed himself back in, watching as she took deep breaths and looked down at where their bodies connected. The more she looked at him pushing in and out, the more it helped to relax and put her at ease. San knew it too. Her at first raspy breathing turned to soft, melodious moaning.
His hips snapped up and began rolling at a faster pace, causing his cock to hit the perfect angle in her. Her breath hitched and she gasped when the overwhelming feeling in her stomach started to return, building up inside her, threatening to be released any second now.
The demon could feel it too. He's had years of experience to know what her body was doing. He watched as her face contorted, trying to figure out what was happening.
"Sa-San..." She called out, trying to warn him.
He smirked at her.
"I know, I can feel you clenching around me. You feel so good. I can't wait to feel you cum on my immense cock."
His dirty talking only served to have her whine underneath him. His hand reached down and began toying with her nipple.
"So come on babygirl, let me feel you burst. I know you can do it.....
Give it to me."
He commanded those last words to her and just like he knew would happen, she shuddered under his body, her first orgasm in her entire life taking over her, a soft pathetic whimper being the only noise she could muster. It wasn't anything too loud or over the top, as San pretty much expected. It was her first time.
Besides.....there was plenty of time to have her scream his name.
He kissed her nose and smiled.
"You did so well darling. I'm so proud of you."
She blushed at his compliments. San pulled out of her, a proud evil grin plastered on his face as he noticed the sticky trail that dripped out of her onto the sheets: a few droplets of blood signifying he had deflowered her.
Now to corrupt her even more.
He picked her body up and spun her around, making her get down on all fours as he gripped her hips once again.
"Now it's my turn to have a little fun."
She let out a loud moan when he entered her for the second time, her body still sensitive from her first orgasm. San didn't bother to go slow anymore, he knew she could take it. He thrusted in and out of her at an inhuman speed, low moans and hisses coming out of his mouth.
"Fuck! I can feel you getting close again beautiful, your pussy is so fucking tight, it's practically swallowing my cock."
He chuckled when he felt her clench even tighter around him.
"Oh you like that don't you? You like being told you're nothing but a cockslut?"
She hid her face in the pillow in front of her, trying to hide the groan that just past through her throat. San however grabbed her by the hair and pulled her face back up.
"Answer me you little whore."
She yelped when his hand landed a harsh smack to her ass.
"Y-yes San!"
He smacked her once again before pulling her even more roughly and pressing her back to his chest.
"Right now it's Master. Got it you filthy slut?" He growled into her ear.
"Yes Master!" She cried out.
"Good little whore." He praised her.
He continued his merciless pounding, one of his hands trailing down her abdomen to rub her now swollen and pink clit. Y/N now had a few tears rolling down her cheeks from the overstimulation and she hung her head low.
"Uh uh little slut. None of that."
His free hand wrapped around her neck, forcing her to look up. He tilted her slightly to the right so she could see their sinful reflection in the mirror by the wall.
"Look at you. You look so fucking desperate, wanting to cum again on my cock. Is that what you want? To cum on master's cock? Then beg for it."
Y/N let out a series of whimpers, collecting all the strength she could to cry out:
"Please master! I want to cum, let me cum on your cock!"
San was loving this. It had been so long since he had such an innocent thing begging for him.
"How bad do you want it darling? Does Master's cock make you feel that good?" He teased her.
"Please Master I want it so bad! It feels so good, please don't stop!" Her words were barely incoherent now from how overwhelmed with pleasure she was.
Having being satisfied by her answer, he squeezed her throat, causing her to gasp and writhe her body as her second orgasm took over, far more intense than the first. He never slowed down his pace therefore making her convulse even more violently and shriek out a chant of his name, further heightening his pride and ego.
Very soon after, he cursed loudly as he reached his own climax, his cock spurting out his cum inside her, filling her up with his sinful load. She collapsed on the bed, worn out by the physical intimacy that just took place. San chucked darkly when not even a minute later she was completely passed out. That always happened. Humans couldn't handle having intercourse with a demon, they were practically insatiable and always passed out after a night with them.
Pulling the blanket to cover her, San ran his fingers through her hair. He admired her features for a few minutes. She was really beautiful, an ethereal beauty that only came once every century. Even in her now corrupted and tainted state, she was still the most alluring person he'd ever seen, and he's seen even angels themselves.
Now he knew he wanted her all to himself, completely for him and for no one else to own. He wasn't going to allow anyone to take her from him. He didn't have to worry about celestial beings claiming her, they wouldn't want her now. But other demons might want her.....
Getting up he opened a drawer and took out something he'd never imagine using in any lifetime. But there was always a first time for everything. He held up the gold contraption in his hand before letting it set over one of the flames from the various candles in the room. Once he made sure it was hot enough, he approached Y/N quietly.
It's a good thing she wouldn't wake up for a couple hours....
࿇ ══━━━━✥◈✥━━━━══ ࿇
Y/N squinted, trying to let her eyes adjust to the lighting. She felt a dull aching in her lower abdomen and legs, reminding her of the events that took place last night. She looked around, seeing that she was still at San's place, but he was nowhere to be found. She sat up and rubbed her shoulder, feeling some sort of burning and stinging pain.
She paused when she looked at the mirror and noticed something on the back of her shoulder. Getting up and trying her hardest to walk with her limp, she went to the mirror and turned slightly to the left. She froze when there was a bright red mark on her upper back in the shape of a pentagram with the letter 'S' in the middle of it.
She started freaking out. Was this some kind of joke? Where was San?
"Well good morning my dear."
Speaking of the devil, he appeared right behind her, making her whip around and face him.
"Did you do this?" She asked, pointing to the mark.
"I did. I think it really suits you." He smiled proudly.
"Why? Why would you do this?"
"Why you ask? It's simple."
He took a few steps forward. Leaning in, he gripped her chin.
"Because you're mine now and I own you."
She scoffed at his words, repulsed that he could do this.
"You're insane." She spat out.
"I've been called worse." He sat up straight again.
Y/N marched over to the chair on the other side and began grabbing her clothes.
"And just where do you think you're doing?" San crossed his arms in front of him.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm leaving."
He let out a hearty laugh at that.
"Leaving? Oh no sweetheart. You're not leaving. You can't leave me." He told her.
"Yeah? Watch me."
She pushed him out of her way and headed for the door, but before she could reach for the handle, San appeared right in front of her out of thin air, causing her to step back in fear.
"What the-" She exclaimed.
"Let me repeat myself darling..."
San began to take steps towards her as she began to slowly retreat from him.
"I own you. You can't leave because you're mine now. I marked you so no one else takes you from me, in other words..."
He slammed his hand against the wall behind her when they reached it. She watched in horror as his dark orbs shifted into a fiery red color that burned deep in her soul.
"You're bound to me for all eternity...... and now you're a part of my world....and there's no turning back..."

Innocent {Part three}
A mandalorian fanfiction
Din djarin x reader
Summary: y/n has had a bounty placed on her head ever since she was a young child and has sworn to never tell anyone why. she lives on a small planet with her father who tries his hardest to protect her from bounty hunters. But one day he isn't there to protect her.
Warnings:language angst. Fluff.
Tumblr media
___________________________________________
The razor crest was silent, the stars whizzing by casting the ship in a white light. The child's little snores being the only sound heard, the green creature asleep in its pod. While the mandalorian was seated in the cockpit, flying the ship to their next destination. Y/N beside him as she peacefully and quietly watches the stars.
The three was on their way to Sorgan, Somewhere safe for a while until the enemy finds them, leaving them to flee and look for another safe haven among the planet's in the galaxy.
Of course though the woman beside the mandalorian didn't mind planet hopping, she's never seen any other planet besides her home planet and nevvaro. Perhaps that's why she still held a giddy smile on her face, her eye's roaming every white spec whizzing by. The glint that sparkled in her y/e/c eye's had the mandalorian fighting with himself whether he should look at the vast galaxy in front of him, or just give in and gaze into those beautiful orbs.
But he knew that he had to pay attention and pilot the ship, so he done just that. His eye's glued to the space before them, occasionally looking down at the navigater.
"we should arrive at Sorgan in two hours, maybe less" the modulated voice of the mandalorian spoke, breaking the silence. Y/N looks at him and nods.
"have you ever been to the planet before?" she asks him, curious about Sorgan. She has read about it in one of the many books she had back on Esor. But she wanted to heat what din had thought of it. Mostly just wanting to hear his voice, it soothed her. Made her feel safe....
"yes, once before. I was only there for a few hours, looking for a bounty" he told her, her curiosity only grows with the building up excitement.
"what's it like!?" she speaks with a giddy smile, causing the mandalorian to chuckle.
"it's humid, full of insects. Green..." he explained to her, his fond smile hidden behind the helmet. She smiles and leans back in her seat, mind swormed with thoughts of the planet.
"what is you're favorite planet?" she questioned. Din's head slowly turns toward her, as he takes in the sight of her, admiring how she talked whatever question played on her mind. Usually din would be irritated or annoyed with this trait if it was any other person. But he liked this about Y/N. For he didn't mind answering all her questions, or listening to whatever she had to say, her voice was a melody that he could listen to for eternity.
"I don't know..." he muttered as he was in a trance by the woman, her beauty truly unlike anything else he has ever seen.
Y/N was about to respond, but the sound of the child's footsteps and little yawns stop her, she turns in her seat to see the child waddling toward the two, his wide eyes looking at them both. But they soon settle on the woman as he reaches his arms out for her. Leading her to scoop him up as he sats in her lap.
"well it's about time you wake up" she coos gently her smile causes a little laugh to escape the green little thing.
"I'd suggest you buckle up, we're arriving sooner then I thought" din said while flipping a switch, the planet in view, the woman in absolute awe.
time skip
The crest landed in the middle of nowhere on Sorgan, nothing around except tree's. Not a soul around, just what the mandalorian was hoping for. But he knew that a small town was up ahead, he needed to find more food for the woman and child...
Y/N watches in pure amazement as the door of the crest opened, the hot air around hitting her face. She wastes no time in leaving the crest and taking in the new scenery. She smiles as she looks around, the mandalorian smiling at her beneath the helmet.
"it's beautiful!" she cheered, eye's flickering across everything, her happiness overwelming her. Never has she seen anything else but her home planet.
"c'mon, let's go to town and get you two something to eat" din spoke while motioning between the amazed woman and the babbling child. Y/N nods and follows din, who stops dead in his tracks and turns toward the woman who was confused by his actions.
"take this, people can be dangerous. Especially when you have a bounty on you're head" din offers her a blaster, it's small yet felt heavy in her hands when she takes it. Not wanting to use the thing, she hated violence.
"I-I don't know how to use it..." she says with slight fright in her voice. Looking up at din with those beautiful eyes of hers, begging him to take it back.
"you point it at the threat and pull the trigger. Simple" he explained as he turns back around and starts walking toward the town, the woman looking at the weapon with scared eyes and a nervous breath. But she holsters it and follows him, the child practically glued to him as it's bubble like pod follows him.
Tumblr media
The walk into town wasn't long, soon enough there was some people walking around, tough looking men and women. The little markets selling their products and goods on the side.
Y/N had never seen other living life forms besides her villagers, friends and family. She was nervous, scared of how some men's eyes lingered on her longer then she was comfortable with. And this lead to her grabbing din's hand and forearm, staying close to him. Her eyes wide as she kept her head down.
She was adorable din thought.
He was quite enjoying how she was staying Close to him, where he knew she was safe. He loved the idea of how she was so trusting towards him, how he could trust her. It was a relief actually knowing that he had her to help him protect the child. That he wasn't alone, she was much better at such things then he was.
"why are they staring at us din?" she spoke in a whisper, a sheepish little smile on her face. Her excitement never filtered, even though she was scared and nervous.
"ignore them, don't speak to anyone and don't look back" he tells her, his voice modulater not hiding the angered tone he used.
But it wasn't directed towards her, but the men who was fawning over her beauty. She was beautiful, din knew this. But he didn't like how the men looked at her, their eyes roaming over her body like they was starved and she was the meal they prayed for. It angered him, made him want to snap their necks.
And thankfully Y/N knew that din wasn't angry at her, which is why she holds him tighter. Nodding in acknowledgement at his words.
The three approach a little building, it looked like a house. And so they enter, din gracefully strides in as Y/N holds her head down, carefully looking at the interior of the place while she still had a hold of the man clad in beskar. Fearing if she let go he'd vanish and leave her alone in such a crowd of people...
The three sat down, while all eyes was on them making the woman fidget, her hands on the table while she looks around. Din noticed and is quick to place his Hand on her own. Her eyes are on him now as she sheepishly smiles at him.
But din's was watching the pair that was glued to them. A tough looking woman, who sat a little ways from them.
He didn't like the way she stared, how she just watches them.
"welcome travelers! Can I interest you in anything?" a older woman said as she approached them. She was a worker her obviously, as she awaits their response. Din looks away from the staring woman and up at the older lady.
"bone broth for the little one and the woman."he said, his attention on the worker. While Y/N simply plays with the child, taking him out of his pod his little giggles causing a smile to tug at her lips.
"Oh, well, you're in luck. I just took down a grinjer, so there's plenty. Can I interest you in a porringer of broth as well?" she asks him, but he shakes his head.
"just the two"
"Very well-"
"That one over there, when did she arrive?" din interrupted her, grabbing the attention of Y/N, she looks over her shoulder and sees a few people. But the older woman looks at din.
"I've seen her here for the last week or so" the older woman replied to the mandalorian's question.
"what's her business here?" he prys, Y/N gently picks the child back up and sits him in her lap. Giving his little bald head a kiss. She didn't feel safe letting him sit by himself, so she keeps him closer to her. Which makes din happy knowing the child was in safe hands.
"Business? Oh well...there's not much business in Sorgan so I can't say..." the older woman replied but din tosses a coin on the table towards her, making her pick it up with a surprised expression. "She doesn't strike me as a log runner...well..." she picks up the coin and continues to speak, "thank you, sir. I will get that broth to you as soon as possible, and I will throw in a flagon of spotchka, just for good measure. I'll be right back with that." she then walks away leaving the three to be until she brings them their food.
But din stands up fast making Y/N confused.
"where are you going? What's wrong?" she asks, holding the child closer.
"stay here, watch the child" was all he said as he walks out. Leaving the young woman and the child alone at the table.... It made her nervous, all eye's still on her and the small creature that was whining do to din's disappearance.
"well, looks like it's just me and you..." she muttered to the child, eye's glued to the entrance of the place, waiting for his arrival.
But when minutes went by, she was concerned. She feared something may have happened to him. But he was tough, he could handle himself... Right?
Scared and anxious about din's disappearance, Y/N stands up, taking a coin from her pocket and walking over to the older woman who was cooking. "here, watch the child for me please" she hands the coin to her, as she walks out.
Once she left the building she's greeted with the tough looking woman from before, fighting with din. Eye's wide and hands now shaking, the young woman reaches for her blaster, yanking it out and pointing it at the woman, just as din and her hit the ground, aiming their own blasters at each other.
That's when their eyes land on Y/N, who was shaking from slight fear and panic at the situation. Mando sighs and the woman chuckles.
"is she with you?" she asks amused. Din nods, still aiming his weapon on her.
"yes, yes she is"
"you do know that you're not holding that right...right?" y/n looks at the blaster and gulps, realizing that the woman was right.
"I-just drop the the weapon... Please..." she said with a shaky voice. Mando chuckles at her and slowly pulls his weapon away as does the woman.
"we need to work on you're self defense" din said, making y/n sigh and put her blaster down.
Night had fallen, the mandalorian, the child and y/n learn that the woman's name is Cara dune. An ex-shock trooper who is "taking an early retirement" as she put it. Explaining how din had most likely had a fob on her that's why she had started a fight with him, and how unless din wanted to go another round she was here on Sorgan first, basically telling them to scram. So that's what din planned on doing.
"I know...." y/n muttered as she lowered her blaster and watches how din and the woman stand up.
Tumblr media
The three found themselves in this moment, the child asleep in his pod. Y/n laid on the ground staring up at the stars, hand fondling the mandalorian necklace around her neck while din was doing something to the crest.
But y/n creases her brows in concentration, straining to listen to the distent sound of someone approaching. And soon enough, before she could alert din, he hears the strangers as well.
Two men on some sort of sled ride up to the crest, making the woman sit up alerted. Looking at them with her hand resting on her blaster. Although she'd never use it, she would still be prepared to if needed.
"excuse me." one man said getting off the sled. Walking up towards din, not even noticing the woman. But din continued his work.
"excuse me sir" another man spoke while standing beside the other one. This time din acknowledged them.
"is there something I can help you with?" he asked with annoyance at the men, making the young woman take her hand off the blaster. For she could tell that they was no threat. But she did since that they was troubled.
"uh... Yeah...Raiders" the second man said, din simply going about his business working on the crest.
"So you think I'm some kind of mercenary?"
"you are a mandalorian right?" the same man speaks. The conversation peeking y/n's interest, she slowly stands up and peeks around the crest to watch them.
"Or at least wearing Mandalorian armour... That is Mandalorian armour, right?" the other man who was quite spoke, looking over din's armor.
"it is." was all he said while his back was facing them, din still yet working on the crest.
"See?! I told him. Sir, I've read a lot about your people...er...tri-tribe... If half of what I read is true-"
"we have money" the other spoke interrupting his friend. This caused din to turn around and look at them finally, his interest peeked. Although he keeps working.
"how much?" din asked, y/n slowly coming out of hiding as she wonders if din will help these strangers in need. One of the men pulls out a leather bag full of money, but din's back was still turned to them.
"it's everything we have, sir. Our whole harvest was stolen"
"krill... Were krill farmers" y/n walks over to din, his head tilting toward her. Although he wanted her to get back inside or at least out of sight of these two strangers, he knew deep down they were no threat.
"we brew spotchka, our whole village chipped in" din turns around to look at them, eye's landing on the bag of money. He slightly shakes his head.
"it's not enough" din lightly taps y/n's arm making her follow him as he walks away from the men. Who proceed to follow him unfortunately.
"Are you sure? You don't even know what the job is." one spoke with a tone the young woman knew as disparate, if it were up to her, she'd help them...perhaps she can get din to help.
Din continues to walk away from them, turning around one last time, "I know it's not enough, good luck" he's ready to leave but y/n placed a hand on his shoulder turning him to face her after he opens the hatch to the crest abruptly, causing the two strangers to jump back.
"their seeking help mando... You should at least see what it is before turning you're back to them" she whispers softly, the sound pulling at his heart strings. Maker she had a spell over him.....
"I'm not a mercenary! I already have enough burdens on my shoulders to deal with" he spoke harshly, no doubt because stress.
But whenever he saw that look in y/n's eye's he knew his words had hurt her, for she believed that his comment was directed toward her, that she was the burden... "I'm sorry that you have to deal with me mando but at least see what these poor men rode out here for at such a un-kindly hour" she felt her heart sting at the thought of being a burden on the man's shoulders.... She stormed inside leaving him feeling guilty.
Din turns to look at them seeing how they start to walk away in defeat, "Took us the whole day to get here. Now we have to ride back with no protection to the middle of nowhere." one muttered but din heard, the middle of nowhere.
"where do you live?" din spoke up making them turn around to look at him, hopefully.
"on a farm" one said while then giving din a look, "weren't you listening? We're farmers" din shifts his weight onto on foot as the gears in his head start turning.
"in the middle of nowhere?" din asks thoughtfully, causing the two strangers to nod, confused at din's abrupt careing now.
Din knew that if he helped these people, the said village in the middle of nowhere would be a nice home for y/n and the child, safe and secluded, away from harm.
Tumblr media
The job was more then din ever thought it to be, the raiders packing a bunch far more powerful then he ever expected. But with the help of the villagers once trained, and Cara dune after being payed. The village was safe, harm no longer among them. Everything was settled down, relaxing in order.
But y/n was distent, she hadn't spoken to din ever since that night he practically called her a burden. Every time he'd offered her help with the child when it seemed to not want to sleep at night she'd ignore him, pushing him away gently. She wasn't angry at him, her eye's told him that. She was sad, her feelings were hurt by his words. She was tender hearted and din knew this, that's why he was seeking help from one of the kind villagers named Omera. She would know how he could make y/n happy and trusting towards him again, hopefully.
Tumblr media
"you two seem awful close" cara spoke up from behind you, your y/e/c eye's glued to the child playing. "if I didn't know any better I'd even say that you both were a couple" cara plops down beside you with a lopsided smile.
You shake your head with a grin, "I can assure you me and Mando aren't that close..." at those words you feel a heavy weight on your chest, for you knew you longed for more. You loved the mandalorian, the moment he landed on your home planet, even when he turned you in, and you fell even more in love with him when he saved you....
You never felt love before, the feeling was beautiful. It gave you reason to smile, heart singing every time mando walked into a room. The feeling of your belly doing flips every time mando was closer or kept a watchful gaze on you from under his helmet always taking you by surprise. And when he held your hand, that's what made your heart melt. His fleeting touches and sweet words, showing he truly cared for you...
Only what he said a nights ago was carved into your memory. He saw you as a burden.
"oh please, I see the way you both look at each other! And even when you both are practically ignoring each other you're still technically staring at one another" cara points out how no matter what mando still watched you with a protective manner.
You sigh and watch how the child along with a few other children chase a frog. "if it'll make you stop talking about this topic...." you trail off with a dark blush painting your cheeks, knowing if you didn't tell someone you'd bust, "I do care about the mandalorian" you muttered while watching how he and Omera walk further away and into a meadow....
You felt a sense of sadness wash over you at how Omera held Mando's arm, anger soon seeping its way into your veins viciously.
No... Push it away.
Cara was rambling something about how she was right, but stops once she followed your glare, "I'm sure it's not what it looks like" she muttered with curiosity. Hopefully she was right, maybe he was just discussing something with her -
But of course she placed her hands on either side of his helmet, her face mere inches away from Mando's.... Your heart shattering at the sight. You stand up harshly ready to storm away from this village.
But then you felt something, something was off. Something bad was lurking among the village...
Looking to the child you sprint towards him prepared to pick him up, for you knew the feeling in your gut was most likely a hunter ready to take the child. You knew you could prevent the horror about to happen, but you remember the promise you kept and leap in front of the child at the same time a loud echo rings throughout the village, the sound of a rifle going off.
Holding the child in your arms you look him over, he was fine... Although he was terrified, whines emitting from him as he cries. You feel a warm pain stinging your side, looking down you see red seeping through the material of your shirt.
"y/n!" the familier sound of the voice modulater filled your ears, right before black filled your vision as you felt light headed, "No!" you hear the child cry as the feeling of arms catching you before you fall wrap around you.

One Night Only 2, Part 6
Tumblr media
A/N: This one is a flashback from ONO 1 only it's from Erik's perspective. For @muse-of-mbaku
---
Twenty-three days had passed since Erik had seen Y/N and he was in Ontario, Canada backstage with a cup of hot water, lemon, and honey as he listened to the crowd of thousands. A cough drop rolled on his tongue as he waited. The opening act was a young duo who needed exposure. They definitely had the talent. They performed their asses off living in their moment and he smiled at the energy they brung. The crowd was really feeling them.
(Y/N) I miss you
The message on his phone screen was the same one that had been there for the past twenty days. It may as well have been his screensaver at this point. For the eighteenth time in the day alone, he re-read the three small words in the nearly empty text thread. He could imagine Y/N's voice in his head telling it to him. He could still hear her, thinking of when she yelled after him in the airport. The memory always made him smile.
Don't respond, he told himself. She needs this time to develop who she is and you'll only become her crutch if you respond now.
The truth of the matter was usually enough to get him to put the phone down.. This time, however, despite his best efforts, his thumb hovered on the screen ready to respond. He typed four words before he stopped himself, deleting them character by character. Be strong. You can make it.
Whether he was thinking about her or himself, he wasn't sure, but he knew if he texted her now, they'd never stop talking. She'd never get the opportunity to move on and to grow alone. She'd gone from relationship to depression to relationship. She needed time to live with just herself so that she could discover herself without anyone else's input and find out what it meant to live for only one person, chasing her own dreams and desires.
For her own good, he had to ignore her.
The performance ended with a howl of screams and applause for the duo. The dramatic shift occurred where the music for Erik's set came in and the crowd went wild. It was time for Erik to go on, they were calling for him.
This is for you, he thought darkening the phone screen and running out onto the stage jumping with the mic in his hand.
From now on, everything I do is for you.
---
Ontario, Montreal, Vegas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, London, Bucharest, Rio, Lima, Brasilia, Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Cape Town, Johannesburg, LA, Detroit, Anchorage.
Another stop, another city, another set with him pouring everything out on stage and exhausting himself, sweaty but satisfied. More nights with women throwing their bras and thongs onto the stage and coming backstage.
He's sure to wink at a few women when their eyes meet as he's performing. Their cameras are on him and he knows they'll go back and look at the footage later especially if they plan to post it somewhere. He gives one young lady with long blonde braids the mic watching her finish his lyrics as he bobs his head along with her. The moment in the car with Y/N when his song came on the radio comes to mind as he grins throwing the girl a t-shirt. He must've done that in four different cities. Everytime.. he had to smile because he couldn't stop seeing and hearing Y/N in those girls. He kissed one girl on the cheek and she almost passed out. He had to catch her and hold her for a second until she was okay.
Backstage meets were full of loyal fans, some down to earth and some a little crazy. He could always pinpoint the ones who felt entitled to him simply because they paid for a backstage pass. He was cordial with them, but he refused to put up a front to satisfy their expectations of him. He was Erik Stevens, a nigga from Cali.. and this puffed up image of him that the media sold was just that, puffed up. The ones who could vibe without demanding a performance of a character were the ones he preferred to mix with backstage.
He gave handshakes, dapped up, and hugged those who came on equal footing as souls connecting to the music. He fucked the ones who came as groupies, their love for his music so strong it transferred onto him. Some of them had been attracted to him from day one to the point they actually started listening to his music because of it. Some of them, their intentions from the very beginning were simply to have sex with someone famous. He gave them what they wanted. He fucked them all.. if they were attractive. 
He didn't fuck the women with those bright hopeful eyes though nor did he fuck the ones with sad eyes. There could only be one of those for him now. Every time a woman looked up at him like he was her hero it only served as a reminder of that fateful day that forever changed the way he thought about love.
---
"It's been five months... The fuck is she doing," Erik snapped.
He'd long been off tour and yet Y/N hadn't come. He clearly recalled asking her to come to him when they were together. He thought she would. He'd hoped that she would. He wanted her face to be the one he saw once his tour had ended. He wanted her in his bed and in his house. Alas, she had not arrived.
"She doing her.. Ain't that what you told her to do," Corey replied smartly over the phone.
He did, but he ain't expect it to take this long. It had been TOO long. She should've found him when his tour was over. He could've been helping her right now instead of talking to this nigga over the phone. Well, he could still help her... and matter of fact, he would.
He floated her name to a few people in his circle in hopes that they could scout or create opportunities for her. Anything that he could do without overstepping or making it obvious.
---
Nine months and he was still waiting on the woman who'd come into his life and turned it inside out. He read her text message again. It was starting to feel like a fever dream, their time together. It was like living months without his heartbeat. He'd been reduced to checking her social media accounts that he'd gotten hold of regularly just to get glimpses of her, making sure she was doing well. He'd created a separate account just do he could follow her and lurk without her knowing. This way, he didn't have to sweat over accidentally double tapping or hitting the heart. He could also view her lives without his name appearing. This eased his mind because he felt closer to her, but it still was not close enough. He was happy to see her coming into her own gradually and he loved the glimpses into her life, but he wanted to be part of it.
The day finally came when he saw her pictured with another nigga, light skin with freckles like an old banana. Who was that nigga? He dug through the comments and looked for any tags following them until he found the profile. James Porleau.
Porleau. His lip twisted in irritation scrolling through the man's account... also known as Jimmy.
Well fuck you, Jimmy, he thought as he scrolled. He went back to the photo of them together. They'd both posted it and it set off red flags in his mind. Stop it, he told himself. She needs this, and how many women have you fucked? Let her get it out of her system. 
That was until a week later he saw that her IG account was suddenly on private and that blew him. Wrong move, babe. Luckily his fake account was already following her so he could still see her posts.
"Corey tell her take her Instagram off private. Can't nobody like or enjoy her shit if they can't access it."
"I ain't even know it was on private.. how'd you know? Damn you a stalker for real, huh?"
"I'm just checking on her."
"Riiight," Corey drags, "... You musta seen Jimmy," he chuckles.
"Who is he anyway?" It wasn't worth pretending he hadn't.
"A placeholder.... She misses you but she need dick to keep her warm at night and you not here. I keep telling you to just pop up on her. That nigga would disappear real quick."
"I can't. She's in her zone right now, growing, and if I pop up she might get distracted. This is all healthy for her...I just don't like that nigga." Looking at the two of them together made him uneasy. "I'm a look into him to make sure. Just to be safe."
"Nigga," Corey laughed on the other end.
"I'm serious."
"They not. They just fuckin around."
---
Fuckin around. Who fucks around like this for months? Y/N and Jimmy seemed to be going strong and there was nothing in Jimmy's past that Erik could hold up or frown on. He was a lawyer and a decent guy it seemed. Inside, he was conflicted. He didn't want them together because it made his heart burn, but at the same time she WAS his heart and he was glad she wasn't alone. There were five photos with him and Y/N together. He swallowed his emotions and continued to scroll.
He could see pictures posted at Corey's engagement party. The shoes he'd bought. He rolled his eyes still not believing he'd bought a grown man's shoes. Mostly, he'd scrolled the feed to get glimpses of Y/N. She looked as beautiful as ever and despite the turmoil boiling in his gut due to the fact that she was still too far away, he was glad to see she had a big smile on her face where she was. 
He felt like a fan.
---
"She quit her job," Corey blurted when Erik answered the phone. Erik had just left a meeting with his manager and PR person to discuss some of his most recent behavior. He'd cussed out a white guy who'd bought backstage passes and wasn't satisfied because Erik didn't cater to him. The guy tried to force Erik to pay more attention to him but Erik refused to be treated like a toy. The guy deserved worse than the few choice words he got and Erik made that known when he refused to apologize or do anything to make the situation go away. He simply didn't care. 'Figure it out. I'm not doing shit,' he'd told them before storming out.
"She q-.. Is that good or bad? She need money?"
"Nigga. Who don't need money?"
"I'll say it like this.. Is she in danger of losing her apartment or not eating?"
"Nah nah.. Nah, never that. She getting money from her social networking. She one of them influencers now."
"Oh damn.. Is she happy?"
"Oh yeah. She happy as hell, her lil pickle head ass dancing all over the living room right now."
"She don't know you talking to me right?"
"She in there with Anaya not thinking about my ass. See, “BIG OL FREAK, BIG BOOT BIG OL TREAT.. see they ain't paying no attention."
"Nigga, I slid you that track in secret because you were a Megan fan, damn! Don't make me regret it! It ain't out yet... I gotta get my verse together."
---
The day came where Y/N finally released her own original music, music she'd written and arranged herself. He sat in his Ferrari 488GTB with his phone connected by bluetooth and the music playing through his speakers. He'd been waiting a year to hear her song and now that the time had come,  he rested his head against the headrest and let the sound caress his ears. Her soulful, smooth, and angelic voice rode the beat with precision. With the volume up and the sound enveloping him, it felt like she was there and singing directly to him. This about me, he thought with a lazy smile listening to her words. That nigga couldn't make her feel like this.. and I know it ain't about her ex.. Nah, it's definitely about me. The thought had him replaying it and for the next week it was his go to song. He knew every word and could sing it. He often did when he was alone.
From singing covers to her own original music, she'd taken large strides. He was impressed and proud that she'd worked hard to carry out her vision to accomplish her dream. He could not stop grinning whenever he heard her song... and then he heard it in public. He was out and about and he heard it, it was brief, but enough for him to recognize it. His stomach was leaping. He looked around for the source, but it had been so quick. That's my baby. His chest was swelling, heart full. That's when he knew for a fact she'd made it.
---
Erik witnessed the success of her EP and bragged on her where he could, of course not to the point of it being loud or widespread enough for it to get back to her. He was careful not to tempt her into cutting off her progress for some haphazard reunion. Of course, he was still fuckin groupies left and right.
He saw the explosion in her social media for himself, her verified side account so that her main could be reserved for her inner circle. He saw all the plays she got on Pandora, Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube. He could finally Google her and see her on multiple platforms. She was linked to him. Their names were still used together, but she was standing alone as well.
She'd gotten fans and followers. Lotta comments and likes. Aight now.. Drake.. back the fuck up. Along with her fame came the thirst. Hella niggas were liking her pictures and leaving random emojis.
"Ayo Corey, tell me something. I need an update. What's she doing? What she need?"
"I remember her saying she need a signed jersey from Steph Curry. She's really been into basketball lately for some reason. She'd love that."
"How bout I send this size 12 foot up ya ass?"
"You still violent as ever, I see. Ornery... You been getting any cheeks?"
"Groupie pussy don't hit the same."
"Not when you've had that number one superfan pussy!"
"Don't remind me. That bitch was crazy."
"But her pussy was fire wuh'nit?"
"She was fuckin crazy. You almost got sniped for that, sending me crazy bitches. You lucky I been in therapy for so long."
"How was I supposed to know the bitch was nuts, she seemed normal to me, I just thought she was a nice lady."
"Nah. I knew something was off. Shouldn't have fucked her."
"Can't unfuck her, but you can hire extra security."
"Nah. If she come around, I'm a handle her."
"Careful E... you soundin like the old you. I know you wanna keep control n'shit."
"Oh I'm in control. I got security, but if she push me they can't protect her from me but for so long."
"Remember she a woman. Though she a bitch, she a bitch with titties.. I guess you supposed to be more gentle.. because of the titties..."
"Yeah well she ain't finna have no titties fuckin wit me. I was taught to believe in equal rights of the sexes."
Click.
Hm? He hung up. Must've been Anaya or someone who walked in.
---
Erik had seen Corey's wedding photos and short clips and through he didn't comment, he congratulated him ans sent a gift. He lurked Y/N's social media catching up on her photos and videos. He was beginning to forget what she tasted like, but when he stared at her through his screen ge could imagine. He was a ghost haunting her pages. He'd become the very thing he'd warned her against. He was stuck on her.
She hadn't posted yet. Every time he scrolled, it was like Russian Roulette. He had to continuously remind himself to check that he was using the lurking account and not his actual account. Also, he was never sure what he'd find. Sometimes the content filled him with intense pride and joy, but sometimes it hurt. That nigga still seemed to be close to her and it got under his skin. She was supposed to fuck around with him and move onto another one, but this nigga was consuming ALL the time that Erik was sacrificing.
He wanted to get on her live.. it was an impulse whenever he visited her page and she had one. THE NIGGA WAS IN THE LIVE. Given, he wasn't the only one there, but still. Erik's jaw tightened and his eyes shut tightly putting the phone against his forehead before putting it away. He needed to think of something different. He needed to go on with his busy ass day.
---
Another year had officially passed.
Pictures posted of Y/N with her and the Corey's baby smiling and glowing living their best fuckin life. Erik didn't want to be bitter, but he couldn't hello that part of him felt bitter. He was lonely. He could see Corey was happy and flexin with Anaya. He'd found a good thing.
Erik wanted to be happy like that, but he couldn't and it wasn't for lack of trying. No matter how many models he went through, how many groupies he fucked, he was still lonely. He laid in bed with other girls as they were passed out from all the sex, scanning through Y/N's pictures. He still had that photo he'd taken when they were in bed together and he was flipping off the camera. It felt like ten years ago instead of two, but emotionally it still felt like yesterday.
Don't know what you're doing off camera.. Wonder what you're doing and if you really moved on..
I sound insecure right now.
Put the phone down. Turn the phone off.
24 hours. Erik kept it off.
The next morning when Erik turned him phone on, his manager had a lot to say. The main thing being, "You ain't answer your phone."
Erik laughed dryly having just gotten chewed out. What could he say?
"It died," he lied. "What'd you wanna say tho?"
---
Typically, Erik could distract himself and push his feelings aside, but he'd seen something this time that he couldn't push aside in his mind. It was a photo of Y/N and that nigga kissing on the lips, the caption: 'I love this man.'
She'd dropped the L word and Erik couldn't breathe. He looked at the phone staring from the word to the picture. It was a punch in the stomach. Had he been waiting on her in vain? Had she chosen this banana faced bitch? Had she really decided to be with him?
Erik had to sit down. He laid down the phone and gripped at his face which was hot, dragging his cheeks down with his palms, fingers sliding down his face. Facepalm. Her with this nigga AGAIN. He wanted to cry.
They ain't look bad together and that seemed to be a popular consensus based on the comments. It made his eye twitch.
He sighed deeply, his jaw tightening. His head felt like it would pop. She was raising his blood pressure and he had to breathe, blinking as he stared at nothing to calm himself. It didn't look like they were just fuckin. They were entirely too close, spending too much time together to say there were no feelings and now he knew. She loved him.
He stood abruptly pacing the floor of his living room. His ear itched at the entire situation and he scratched wildly in irritation releasing his frustration in a loud, "FUCK."
He needed to jog. Stopping short, he decided fuck jogging, he'd hit the bag. In his home gym, he paced and punched the body bag until his fists went numb with pain to match the confusing and excruciating feeling in his heart. He fell to the floor onto his back, sweat covering his face as he tried to shut down his racing mind, chest heaving.
One time. He'd allow himself to see her one time. He had to see her up close even if it was a goodbye. He looked her up to see her next performance. It was at a club called Sapphire. He laid there on the ground thinking of her song and all the times he'd played it. He was starting to think he was wrong about who she was singing to all along.
---
The performance went without a flaw while Erik stood in the back of the crowded club with his hood pulled up, listening with his ears and saying goodbye with his heart. If she wanted him, he'd fight, but if she wanted that other nigga and he truly made her happy, he'd let her go.
The entire performance, he wished her the best, still more excited for her than anyone when she got nothing but applause and positive feedback. He wanted badly to walk up and grab her hand just to confirm that his eyes still held power over her, her heart, and her knees... but he resisted. He'd have stayed longer, but when he started to get recognized, it became a problem
The first woman to recognize him gaped, her mouth and eyes wide. He signaled for her to be quiet with his finger over his lips. When the third person recognized him, it was time to go. He had to leave before word got out that he was there.
---
"Nigga, you are dumb as hell. Them pictures don't mean shit. They ain't even together no more. You depressed for what?"
"I'm not depressed, I'm working."
"This would all be solved if you'd bring ya ass over here then you'd see for yourself... You should've approached her at the club. She'd have lost her fuckin mind and been with you right now, but y'all both wanna be stubborn."
"Well then if that's true... I'm not gonna rush her or or cut off her relationship. I've BEEN ready. I'm just waiting on her. When she's ready she'll come."
"You finna be waiting a decade."
"Aye.. So be it."
There was a strain that Erik could hear. Corey was the middle point and he was trying hard to keep the two of them connected but there was only so much he could do. Erik felt his frustration, but his resolve was strong.
"..UUUUUGH, Y'ALL GET ON MY DAMN NERVES," Corey groaned.
---
3 months passed and Erik was with his lawyer, manager, and producer reworking contracts that would be re-signed. Apparently, his lawyer was peeping shit he missed, earning his check. Erik figured he'd need a new producer soon. This one was sheisty and he didn't wanna have to threaten him or worse. It was best to work with someone else and this lawyer seemed to be doing well with determining the producer's breach of contract making it void.
"One second," Erik put a finger up walking out of the conference room. Typically, he would never walk out of a meeting that serious, but he saw a name on his screen with a new message from a number that hadn't contacted him in two years.
Holding his breath, he opened it.
(Y/N) I'm in Cali can we meet

Chapter Three.
"You're just a stupid little girl who has done nothing but ruin everything I've ever worked for - your father would be ashamed"
"I'm glad your father's dead, he doesn't have to see what a wretch and a cancer you've become"
"Police Academy?! Ha! Maybe I'll get lucky and someone sensible with half a brain will shoot you like your failure of a father"
Ava woke with a start, her body jolting upright, her eyes still heavy with sleep unable to focus on her unfamiliar surroundings as her heart pounded erratically and her chest heaved as she struggled to shake off the remnants of the all too familiar dream. Too caught up in regaining her composure she never noticed the bucket of water or the person throwing it until she was drenched and spluttering. Her hands came up to rub her eyes in an attempt to once again clear her vision before throwing a glare at the offending person "'bout time you woke up, almost thought you'd died and saved me a whole lotta trouble" a roll of her eyes indicated she'd heard him, she just refused to give him a reaction. Of fucking course it'd be Jacob Seed to get her wet in the frosty early morning air and not in the good way. "Fuck off, Seed" came her irked reply mentally slapping herself for actually responding to him "someone wake up on the wrong side of the cage this morning?" a question asked without an ounce of genuine care and a smirk so fraudulent it made her old Barbie dolls seem a hundred per cent real in comparison. Ava didn't reply and instead huffed in annoyance; she was exhausted and her entire body ached from having to sleep on the dirty floor all night so she was in no mood for being patronised by an asshole choosing to focus on trying to untangle the mess of brunette hair with nothing but her fingers - unsuccessfully I might add which only worsened her already sour mood. Refusing to give up her hands continued as best they could to untangle some of the easier knots and avoiding the still tender area of where she'd been struck a few hours earlier.
Cerulean blue eyes watched as she stubbornly refused to give up enjoying the small huffs of frustration he'd hear occasionally. If he was any sort of gentleman he'd offer her an extra set of hands but he found watching her struggle much more entertaining. Instead the former army marksman took the opportunity to study the young woman sitting awkwardly in his cage; always know your enemy he thought as his gaze wandered over her. Now that it was daytime he could get a good look at her; hair a chocolaty brown and even though it was currently a mess you could see she took care of it, she must have been about 5"2 and a hundred and five pounds if that which surprised him considering she put quite a bit of force into the kick to his face last night - not enough to hurt him too much but she still managed to draw blood. That didn't mean anything to him though, she was still weak and he looked forward to putting her through her paces and beyond but for now his studying continued now noting her eyes that were a sea green "you getting off on this, Seed?" then there was that mouth of hers always too quick with a smart remark and a sarcastic comment - that would soon change, he'd break that bad habit first. "You could have avoided all of this if you and your friends had just walked away" which was true but Ava wasn't about to admit that especially not to Jacob who currently sat upon a metal chair, his large arms folded across his chest whilst his legs stretched out before him crossing at his feet; dickhead came to mind as she finally gave up on trying to tame her unruly hair and turned her attention to the eldest of the three siblings. Easier to see him properly within the early morning rays of sunshine peeking through. The photos provided within the manila folder didn't give much detail; too grainy to actually make anything out but now in the morning light she noticed just how beautiful his eyes were and yes, she hated herself for admitting it and yes, she almost threw up in her mouth but she couldn't deny that they were strikingly beautiful and one of the first things she'd noticed. His scars and his burns weren't even on her radar as she casually studied him whilst his attention was momentarily elsewhere, of course they were noticeable and of course she was curious about them; how had he gotten such severe scarring? Did they bother him? Then she snorted realising what a stupid thought that was - it was Jacob Seed as if anything bothered him.
Her snort caught his attention and his eyes snapped back to her making her look away "somethin' funny?" completely ignoring his question Ava rose to her knees and shuffled until she was at the front of the cage "to answer your previous statement. If you and your freakshow of a family acted like decent human beings none of this would have happened" she spat venomously, her facial expression twisting into something that conveyed hatred. Within an instant Jacob's demeanor changed from one of mild amusement and boredom to that of white hot rage, his hands came up to slam on the bars of the cage as he shot forward making the young woman fall back in fear and shuffle as far back as possible - everyone knew not to slander his family in anyway but apparently Ava didn't get that memo and instantly regretted running her mouth as she saw the sheer anger in his glare and the way his hands gripped the bars hard enough to turn his knuckles white. She wasn't afraid to admit that she was terrified right now but her wide green eyes couldn't look away "don't ever talk ill of my family" his voice despite being low was filled with rage and a fierce protectiveness that almost sounded like a growl, it made a chill run down her spine. If making situations worse by running your mouth was an Olympic event Ava would get gold everytime, it was a talent and right now it was one she wished she never had.
His gaze lingered on her for a few more moments as if contemplating his next move and Ava just prayed to whatever higher power that existed that it didn't involve him opening the cage. Instead Jacob released his grip, stood swiftly from the chair and moved towards two of his Chosen; unable to hear what he was saying Ava closed her eyes and made a mental note not to mention his family again. When she reopened them she noticed Jacob had headed inside the Veterans Centre and the men he'd been talking to heading her way "time to get cleaned up little lady, brother Jacob's orders" cleaned up? Wonderful she thought knowing it wasn't about to be a warm bubble bath waiting for her. When she hadn't moved quickly enough the cage door was wrenched open and a dirty hand grasped her hair making Ava his in pain as he dragged her kicking and screaming across the compound "quite ya flappin' girly, it ain't doin' ya no good" she didn't listen and despite her ankle throbbing she managed to get a lucky hit on the shin of the second man who cursed loudly before regaining his composure and back handing her for the trouble making her head swing back, almost seeing stars from the impact.
Ava was thrown unceremoniously onto the hard floor of a dimly lit concrete room, her hands and knees stinging from taking the brunt of the impact, this made her glance over her shoulder and glare at her two 'knights in shining armour' but they'd already left leaving her to her own devices for the time being. Her mind wondered what their version of 'getting cleaned up' was because judging from the state of them and the smell she had to endure on the way over they hadn't bathed in quite some time; hypocrites.
Ava noticed the medium sized drainage hole in the middle of the room and the large hose pipe hanging neatly on the wall near the door but her muddled mind didn't put two and two together and paid no attention to it, instead she focused on the door and wondered if they'd been stupid enough to leave it unlocked. It couldn't possibly be that easy to get off here, right? As if she'd be able to just open the door and go? Seeing as she was cold, exhausted and hungry Ava didn't think she had much of a choice and even with a bad ankle she could suffer through the pain long enough to get away from this place.
Without hesitation she slowly pushed herself up off the unforgiving floor and hobbled towards the door; her ankle protesting every step she made but she wasn't about to let that stop her when her freedom was so close that she could almost taste it.
A shaky hand reached out towards the handle, her fingers brushing it gently but to her horror it moved and the door began to open making her recoil from the fiery haired brute who had just stepped inside "goin' somewhere, pup?" he asked, his face showed no emotion and neither did his voice which didn't bode well for the brunette now sat on the floor - the momentum of trying to move away quick enough meant she fell ass backwards and her ass had no padding so no doubt that would be yet another bruise for her.
"Strip" came his clipped demand, his gaze fixed and hard on the woman in front of him. His arms were folded across his chest again and Ava wondered if that was a natural stance for him or if it was to stop him from possibly murdering her. Her brows furrowed in confusion at his demand "what?" "you heard me, I said strip" again, his tone was short and clipped but that didn't stop Ava who scoffed and point blank refused. There was no way she was going to strip for him "and if I don't?" she asked raising an eyebrow as if to challenge him which with all things considered was probably pretty stupid on her part but up until this point her life had been a series of stupid events so why not continue?
It was then she realised her mistake and her eyes widened in absolute fear as Jacob stormed across the room and it was in that moment she saw that rage within his eyes from earlier and prayed that whatever death was coming it'd be quick. All of a sudden she found herself pinned to the cold, harsh floor with one of his hands around her throat, his grip hard enough to leave bruises whilst his other hand pinned both her wrist above her - she had nowhere to go because her legs were useless at this point and even they weren't she doubted she'd have enough strength to fend him off long enough to reach the door. His face was now right above hers, his breath hot on her face as she struggled to for air "you'll learn why I'm the best at what I do and you'll either play nice and fall in line remembering that you're nothin' more than meat that's expendable" as if to emphasize his point his grip around her throat became that much tighter that she'd started to squirm beneath him, panic mode had kicked in as her vision became cloudy. She truly thought she was about to die and in the back of her mind she found she was okay with that because that would mean she would finally meet her father. In her current situation she was completely powerless to stop him from choking the life out of her and snapping her neck like a twig but apparently he wasn't feeling that murderous today and released his grip just enough for her to gasp for air " - or you'll be culled, tied up and used as live target practice for my Chosen, so what will it be, princess?"
Ava gasped and spluttered again fighting for air unable to give him a physical answer Ava weakly nodded as much as his grip allowed making a cruel smirk replace the scowl he'd been wearing previously" good girl, you know what to do" within an instant he'd relinquished his grip on both her wrists and her throat and had returned to his previous position. His gaze hardened and cold as watched her pathetically regain her composure.
With no other option but to do as she was told the young brunette cautiously and fearfully began to slip out of her deputy uniform as shaking hands fumbled with zips, buckles and buttons. His never wavering gaze didn't help her much either and not knowing if he would strangle her again also didn't help but soon enough she'd managed to discard her uniform leaving her in nothing but her bra and underwear; surely I can keep these on, right? This made Ava look over towards him and in return he merely nodded making tears spring to her eyes as she tentatively reached for the clasp of her bra at the back to unhook it before letting it drop to the floor. Ava gulped down the feeling of nausea before scrunching her face in pain as she winced - her throat would be sore for a good while and no doubt the bruises he left will last weeks before they fade.
Refusing to let him have the satisfaction of seeing her cry, Ava thumbed the elastic of her underwear before tugging them down over her hips, thighs and legs before discarding them with the rest of her clothes. Every part of her was open to him, she felt extremely vulnerable wished she was anywhere but here. Her earlier bravado had been stripped from her and now she naked and exposed in front of him. A face full of cold, harsh water soon broke her train of thought as the force of the pressure slammed her against the nearest wall making her cry out but this only resulted in more coughing and spluttering from the woman. Not that she could see but she could already tell that her skin had probably turned a nice shade of red if pain was anything to go by.
No matter how hard she tried to cover herself from the onslaught of water it just never made a difference, instead she gave up and pressed herself against the cold wall waiting for it to be over.
After what felt like an eternity the water stopped and she was left sore, drenched and very, very cold if her shivering was anything to go by. It's the type of cold that works its way into your bones and then it's icy tendrils wrap itself around your core and you genuinely wonder if you'll ever feel warmth again. "Get dressed" a flurry of definitely used clothes that consisted of ratty dark jeans and a fade flannel shirt hit her but Ava was that cold she would have worn a garbage bag to get warm at this point so she hurriedly threw them on making a note of just how big they were on her, not that she was about to complain especially if it meant being stripped again.
By now Jacob stood in front of what he could only assume was a drowned rat, her hair now forcefully untangled hung dripping onto the flannel she wore as he grasped her jaw he noticed how she flinched but said nothing, his grip just hard enough to have her attention and possibly leave bruises "when you behave yourself you get privileges like clothes but if you keep running that mouth of yours and misbehaving those privileges get taken away and you'll get punished. I'm sure my men out there would love to see the sight that I just saw and I mean, who knows what would happen if I'm not around" his not so subtle threat was quickly understood; the possibility of getting raped wasn't something she wanted "have I made myself clear?" "y - yes" Jacob quirked an eyebrow and gripped her jaw that little bit harder; more bruises to add to the collection she thought as she painfully cleared her throat "y - yes, sir" her voice was hoarse and it hurt to talk but her answer seemed to satisfy him because relinquished his grip and strode to the door, an arm keeping it open as he glanced at the sorry state of a deputy.
"Time for your trainin', let's go, pup" Ava meekly nodded; too tired and too fearful at this point to put up a fight. Her stomach filled with dread as she made her way towards the door.
It couldn't get any worse, right?
