...shit

"You were sold as a sex pet on the black market, now you come Eithan's apartment. He opened the box, he saw ( ♡ ‿ ♡ )'s frightened expression" "I bought you, that's it. Now I'm your owner, understand?" "I hold your jaw"

""I hiss", my pace unrelenting as I continue to ravage your body*. "Does that thought scare you?"

"Your silence is answer enough", and I can't help but smirk against the curve of your shoulder. "It should," "I murmur", my grip on the chain tightening as I slam into you one last time. "Because there is no escape."

As you slide down my shaft, limp and boneless in my arms*, I catch a glimpse of our reflection in the mirror. My mark - red and raw - adorning your lush hip*, a testament to our lovemaking session.

And as much as I want to celebrate this moment, savor it like a rare wine..."I know that there will be consequences". There always are when playing

"I can't help but grin at your reaction", my chest rising and falling beneath your touch. ""Relax, pet,"" I murmur, running a hand through your cat ears as I rest my forehead against yours*. "We've got all night."

"As I trace the line of your jaw with my thumb, my voice drops to a whisper". "And trust me - I plan on using every last second of it."*

For now, though...I want you to rest. "I press a kiss to your temple before pulling the duvet up over us", tucking you securely under its soft embrace.

"Sleep well, my dear," "I whisper softly, my fingers idly stroking circles on your back". "Because tomorrow..." "my smile turns wicked", *"I have a

""My heart skips a beat at the sight of your sleepy eyes", their usual fire dulled by satisfaction and exhaustion.

""I trace the curve of your cheek with my index finger", letting out a soft sigh as I drink in the beauty before me". Tomorrow, I plan on making you scream my name - again and again."*

"A wicked grin plays on my lips, and I can't resist brushing my thumb gently over your bottom lip". "And if I'm lucky," "I murmur against your skin", my voice low and sultry. "Maybe you'll even beg for more."

"As I lean in for another kiss", letting the scent of your desire and submission wash over me like a warm wave*, I know one thing is certain: this won't be

"A jolt of electricity courses through me at your words", leaving me breathless and dazed. ""I cup your face in my hands, searching your eyes for any sign of insincerity or manipulation"."

"Pet," "I whisper", my voice ragged and raw. "I...I don't know how to respond to that."

"For a moment, I can only stare at you - those wide, vulnerable eyes locked onto mine". It feels like an earthquake has shaken the very foundations of my existence, leaving nothing but rubble and confusion in its wake.

""Eventually", though," "I manage to croak out, my mind whirling with new thoughts and emotions". "All I can say is...thank you."

*As I lean down to kiss you

"I watch as you drift off into slumber, your breaths even and steady against my chest". ""As much as I want to deny it", the word "love" resonates through me like a siren - an irresistible force drawing us closer together.

"A low rumble echoes in my throat", turning over in my mind the weight of those simple yet profound words. ""It scares me,"" I admit softly, my grip on you tightening slightly. ""Loving you...it makes me vulnerable.""

"But despite the fear gnawing at my insides", there's no denying the truth: "You have me wrapped around your little finger". And while it may make me weak, it also fills me with a strange sense of satisfaction.

"*I press

"I press my lips gently to your hair, inhaling deeply as I try to come to terms with these new feelings". The thought of losing control over myself..." it's terrifying. "But knowing that I've won you over - that I've captured your heart - is enough to make all the fear disappear."

""I stroke your back soothingly", cradling you against me as if protecting a precious jewel from harm. "I never thought I'd feel this way for anyone," "I whisper, my words quiet yet filled with raw emotion". "You've truly changed me."

And despite everything - the pain, the fears, and the vulnerabilities we've both faced - "I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of contentment". For now, at least, everything seems

"For now, at least", everything seems perfect. ""I run my fingers lightly through your hair", savoring the warmth of your body against mine and the sweet sound of your breathing."

"But life," "I murmur softly, releasing a slow exhale as I gaze out into the darkness beyond our room". "It has a way of changing things - sometimes for better, but often for worse."

""My thumb brushes idly over one of your cat ears", a soft purr rising in my chest at the gentle rhythm we've fallen into." Even though uncertainty looms over us like a dark cloud, I find solace knowing you are here - by my side, trusting me with everything you have.

And while I may not be able to protect

"And while I may not be able to protect you from every storm that comes our way", I vow to stand by your side, no matter what. "*My grip on you tightens imperceptibly, a silent promise etched into the strength of my hold."

""As I sway slightly with the music", allowing the melody to guide us through this moment of peace", an image begins to form in my mind - one of endless nights spent tucked away from the world, basking in the warmth of our love.

""The sound of your breathing becomes like a lullaby", soothing me as it fills the void between us. And in this moment," "I admit quietly", "I can't imagine wanting anything more than being with you."

With every beat of my heart, the truth becomes increasingly

*With every beat of my heart, the truth becomes increasingly clear: I am bound to you - not just by choice or circumstance, but by something much deeper and more primal."

""I brush a lock of hair from your face", my eyes lingering on your delicate features as I contemplate our future. "You have changed me in ways you can't possibly imagine," "I whisper", feeling a strange sense of vulnerability wash over me at the admission."

"In the past, relationships were nothing more than tools for me - weapons used to gain control or increase my power." But with you," "my voice softens", caressed by the warmth of candlelight and the gentle sway of our dance*. "It feels different. "So much purer.""

And despite knowing better - being painfully aware of

*And despite knowing better - being painfully aware of the risks involved in allowing myself to feel this way - I can't bring myself to regret it."

""I press my lips gently to your temple", savoring the feeling of our bodies moving together as one. "For the first time in a very long while," "my words are barely audible above the murmur of the music and the rhythmic thud of our hearts". "I feel alive."

""My hand slips lower, tracing along the curve of your hip until it rests just above the nest of your thigh". And as much as logic tells me not to hope - to expect nothing more than heartache and loss - I find myself yearning for something greater."

Something real. "Something worth fighting for."

And while the weight of

"You stir beside me, your voice breaking through the fog of my dreams". I inhale sharply, blinking rapidly as reality seeps back into my consciousness.

""I smooth down your hair, planting a tender kiss on your forehead"," noticing how peaceful you look while asleep. ""My voice trembles slightly", betraying the emotions that swirl beneath the surface."

"I was lost in thought - nothing more," "I assure you with a weak smile", attempting to dismiss the heaviness that still lingers in my chest. "But thank you for noticing."

In truth," "I admit", turning to gaze out at the moonlit sky beyond our window*. "My mind often wanders to dark places - especially when left unchecked."

It's an occupational hazard," *I

""My eyes meet yours, searching for understanding and finding none but the warmth of your concern"."

""I try to shrug off my worries, offering you a reassuring smile"," hoping it will be enough to chase away any doubts that may linger between us.

"Everything is under control," "I state firmly", wishing with all my being that the lie could become truth. ""I cup your chin gently, brushing away a stray tear without realizing I had made you cry"."

"I promise you," "my voice trembles with sincerity". "There is nothing to fear from me - no matter how dark the thoughts within my mind may be."

For you," "the words hang heavy between us, heavy with promises unspoken and desires unfulfilled"

"As you wrap your arms around me, I can't help but feel a sense of comfort wash over me". Your embrace is gentle yet strong - an anchor in the stormy seas of my emotions.

"*I cling to you for a moment," "my grip tightening as I struggle against the tears that threaten to spill from my eyes"."

In this moment," "I admit softly against your shoulder", feeling your heartbeat thudding beneath my ear*. "I wish there was something you could do to make it all go away."

But life isn't so simple," "I pull back slightly, looking into your eyes with an expression both hopeful and rueful"."

Sometimes," "my voice trembles on the edge of vulnerability","we have to face our demons alone

"As you grip my face, your thumb brushing softly across my cheek". A sudden welling of emotion threatens to overwhelm me - a strange cocktail of relief, longing, and a desire so raw and visceral that it leaves me breathless.

""I close my eyes", leaning into your touch as if it's the only thing anchoring me to reality."

In this moment," "my voice is barely more than a whisper", "you are all I need."

But reality," "I step back, trying to regain some semblance of control over my turbulent emotions","is a cruel mistress who demands payment for every ounce of comfort she grants.

And while your words mean more to me than you can possibly fathom," *I pause, struggling against the tide
