Masuk"You know you're a pain in the ass, right?" Aaron asked, pulling back to look down into Emily's eyes. Before she could respond, he kissed her. Unlike last time, his mouth was loving, cautious, accepting, inviting against hers. Until his mind turned against him. His body followed shortly thereafter and the kiss turned desperate, overwhelmingly eager. She just tasted so right. Her full lips pressed against his felt too good. Her ripe mouth molded so readily against his, giving his tongue free reign to explore every last inch of it as she did the same to his. It was the perfect blend of give and take. Thoughts of taking her hand and dragging her to an airport immediately so that he could take her home, where it could be just them again filled his head. They could start over. He would tell her the truth. She could yell at him forever if she needed to as long as he could kiss her in between, as long as it could be behind closed doors while he split her body in two. As long as they could
Keira had no idea what came over her. Since Aaron came back into her life, there had been touching, more than she expected given his relationship status. He even looked. Couldn’t seem to help it. Most of it was initiated by her though. She’d manipulated events to make it happen. Him on top of her, pinning her down, his fingers in her hair, him taking care of her in her most vulnerable moments. That was all him. His brother walking through the door reminded her of where they were and what they were doing here. Whatever this was, whatever was happening, this wasn’t the time or place for it. There she was though, her back fused to that door as he dragged his fingers through her messy hair. The longer he touched her, the more she leaned into it, accepting her fate. Gradually the blush faded as she relaxed under his touch.Who knew how long he had her up against that door? Touching her so innocently that he convinced himself he wasn't completely drunk on her. The third knock did eve
2021, February 22nd(Venatores, Warlanda) Aaron felt Keira's struggling body just in time to cover her mouth with his hand. It helped to know it was coming. As her struggling became more aggressive, so did Aaron. He pulled his hand away from her mouth and rolled her onto her stomach, shoving her head face first into the pillow. She let loose, muffled screams pouring out of her. Then he was on top of her, straddling her, pinning her down with his thighs, locking her arms behind her back as he looped them into his own. "It's okay. You're okay," he said, pressing his body into hers, lowering his lips to her ear. "Come back to me. Come back for me, Keira." He couldn't make himself say the rest of it. She wasn't his hope and peace anymore. All she was now was agony. No promise of it letting up. He wouldn't get her back if he hung in there a while. Just pain, no pleasure. Nothing to hope and fight for. Evidently, it had been enough just the same. Soon she stopped struggling and turned h
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Kate yawned as she slipped into bed. "That leaves absolutely nothing," said Nathan, taking an aspirin before getting back into his own bed. Keira placed herself at the foot of the bed she'd been sharing with Aaron before the episode. She sat crossed legged with the previous day's newspaper in hand, filling out the crossword puzzle. Aaron sat down next to her, took the pen and newspaper from her and filled out some of the words she still hadn't gotten. She usually made a huge fuss when he did that. It was why he started doing it in the first place. Tonight she just watched him. Maybe it wasn't so bad that he completed her crossword puzzles. Keira was terrible at the things, despite having taken them up years ago as a way to pass the time when the nightmares started. He offered to return the newspaper and pen. Instead of taking them, she took his arm, looped both of hers around it and laid her head against his shoulder. "Watch the sunrise with
The father, King Edward, lost to the grief of losing his wife and the son, Prince Dean, lost to the bloodlust. And the rest of them? Just lost, either on the battlefield or to the faces of the men and women they killed in the name of the king’s greed, his hunger for power. Back then, her mother was her hero. Madz spearheaded the rise against King Edward. She and Troy brought the army of myth to the surface to put an end to the wars. Keira would have followed her to hell and back. They all would have. They all did. The cost was them. Love, blood, family, loyalty, humanity. Everything. What did they become? When did tomorrow become worthy of their souls? No more, can’t take anymore. Come back to me. Come back for me, my hope, my peace. Not for a king or country. Just him. There was a world in which the war was just for them. Where she fought with him for them like he was already doing. King of my heart, owner of my soul. Claim me, save me, change me. Make me worthy of you. I’m y
2020, August 18th (Imperium, Warlanda) Needles of water raining down upon them. The heavens have been open for days now. Still fires rage on and streams of blood reign supreme. And there’s no end. Just no end. Faceless figures surround her. No matter how many she kills, they just keep coming. She ran out of bullets long ago. Somehow she’s still standing. Tired, hungry, body aching, drenched in blood. Want to give in, let a bullet, explosion, something take her, but it's not just her. Dependants. Someone is screaming for help. Always someone else to help. Hooded figure in a cloak. Relief. Let it go. It’s over now. Bullet straight through the heart. Nothing. She doesn’t even bleed. Unkillable. Pure skill. The First Soldier. The figure in the cloak unveils herself. Mother. Save me, mother. Oh I’m in agony. No more, mommy. Don’t you see it? I’m dying mommy, don’t you see? Why won’t you save me? Still fighting, clinging to someone’s throat with her bare hands. Lifeless bo
