despite her kissing him back , is waiting for the rejection -- for her to shove him away . but she doesn't . no , she makes everything worse , and looks at him like that . his heart bottoms out , chest rising and falling unsteadily , and his fingers are twitching on her hip , digging into her flesh . don't stop , she says , and his cock is stirring in his boxers just like it shouldn't . " okay . " hovers over her , both palms dragging down her sides as he admires her laying beneath him , a goddamn work of art . " you're so beautiful .. " whispers in admiration , brows creasing as she parts her thighs and he's sinking between them .. is all too aware of the lingerie she's wearing , of how intimately they're pressed together . jesus . and the second her confessions are breathed along his lips , he's groaning into her mouth , and throwing caution to the wind . he's tilting his head and deepening the kiss , tongue dragging along hers as his hands pin her hips to the bed , and slowly inch up the shirt she's wearing . he wants to touch her , taste her , see her . he's a man starved for far too long . " you have no idea how bad i want you .. " he's grunted against her brims , mouth moving to map down her jaw and neck , leaving open - mouth kisses to her skin , " you're so - " tongue drags along her throat before he's nipping at soft flesh , " you're so hard to resist , stas . "
he kisses her and she's a goner , every rational thought flying out the window at the familiar ache that felt like ingesting her favorite candy for the first time in years . and years , it had been . so long since she'd last touched him like this , fingertips flying to the back of his head where she drags him closer in return by the root , noses flush to one another as tongues partake in a game of tug of war . can't help herself , he's all she ever wanted , fearful of hurting him . of doing the wrong thing . he forgave her once , could he do it again ? can feel the desperation , clinging to him and basking in warmth , licking into the comfort of his hot mouth and inhaling the scent of his cologne when he pulls away and she's touching her fingertips to her lips . can feel the vibration , the tingle of the aftermath , gaze heavy and longing . needy for him , for what he could do for her . how he felt .. "it's okay ," she whispers , shaking her head . "sal --" she leans in , kissing him again . once . "don't stop ," fingertips curl into his shirt , "okay ?" pulling him back to her , she rolls onto her back , bringing him with her , parting her thighs to let him fall perfectly in between them as lips find his a third time , wrapping her arms around his neck , "please . i need this -- i want you ."

he smiles at her . fucking smiles , and it's not bitter or angry , or seconds from popping a blood vessel . and her heart does this funny thing at the sight of it -- something that has her faltering for a split second before he's tugging her closer . pussy throbs at the press of his tongue along full breasts , lids fluttering shut as her movements grow faster , needier . " must've forgot with all your talk about screwing your girlfriend , " bites back , talons sinking into the flesh of his abdomen enough to scar , " so you can touch whoever you want and i can't ? sounds like a fucking dictatorship . " and to punish him , she slows down her movements , arching herself into him and feeling every generous , thick inch he has to offer . wonders if he'd stretch her out or break her right in half . " mm , don't talk dirty to me like that -- it's cheating . " a whimper falters from her lips as he halts her movements , his cock rubbing against throbbing cunt and she's hissing under her breath , " fuck you . " glares at him , breaths ragged as she slowly obeys , legs parting for him to feel how terrible of a liar she is . " who says i'm not this wet for my friend you murdered ? "
she can bullshit herself all she wants , he can feel it -- hear it , the sounds she makes like music to his ears , blaring louder than the set from the dj on the first floor . nothing else matters , everyone else outside noise now that he had her right where he wanted her . on top of him , grinding on him , giving her what belonged to him . no matter how much she hated him , she had his last name -- no one else's . laughs when she takes the money , whole heartedly , rare dimple indenting into the corner of his mouth as he looks at her . tugs her closer , wraps her hair around his wrist and keeps her locked in place , licking a strip down to the dip of her breasts where his attention never falters from , even when she drawls on .. and on .. "you're my wife ," he reminds her , "in case you fuckin' forgot . touch another man again and i'll tie you to our fuckin' bed post ." of a shared bed , one where he never had any other women in besides constance , and now her , a fact he won't dwell on for much longer . "kill each and every one of them and hang them where we sleep . i know you always wanted to decorate ." nips the top of her right breast before doing the same with her left , "and if i were to check , would your pussy lie to me , too ?" hums , holding her down , trapping her with his erection grinding against lace that covers her where he wants to taste her . "spread your legs , nik ," it's an order , one he won't give her room to fight on , "let me see how fuckin' dry you really are ."

he's losing his self control , it's going down the drain so quick that he can't get a good grip on it . not when his grip is on her jaw , holding her centimeters away . this is wrong . she had a shitty night , a shitty date .. he shouldn't take advantage of her vulnerable state , isn't even one hundred percent sure that she's sober . but the press of her lips against his thumb have his mind going haywire . wonders if she realizes that she did it , if she -- i'm sorry . don't hate me . freezes , hues lifting to find hers but she's not looking at him , she's looking at his mouth . his fucking mouth . fingers twitch against her skin and his hand is shifting , curling around the back of her head , " i could never hate you . " exhales , swallowing around the tension rising in his throat . " i couldn't .. i .. fuck . " his fingers curl into her hair and he's yanking her towards him , mouth colliding with hers . it's not soft or sweet , or hesitant . it's hot , and needy , and passionate . pouring every emotion against her lips that he's been hiding for the past however many years . his other hand is shifting , curling into the fabric covering her hip and tugging her flush against him , mouth mapping hers in a desperate pursuit . but then he's coming to , head finally catching up to what his body is doing , and he's pulling off of her . chest is heaving , mouth swollen and parted , eyes wide . " shit . fuck , i'm sorry . i - i didn't .. "
her heart stills inside its cage , so quiet , you can hear a pin drop . doesn't say anything for a moment and though she can barely breathe , her beat starts back up again , thumping so loud .. she's afraid he can hear it . wants to reach in and stop it , to warn it not to fall victim to sweet words like it always did , but it's salem , and he didn't say things just to get something out of her . he said it because he meant it . "even when i snore ?" murmurs quietly , attempting to provide relief from the tension , but then he's reaching forward , gripping her waist and tugging her closer . can feel his breath on her face , shaking her head , "i'm much better now ." because being close to him , she felt protected like nothing in the world can hurt her . watches the way his mouth forms the words , how there's slight stubble on his chin from after shave , knowing he's going to take care of it in the morning . wanted to be the one to do it like old times , when she would sleep over in his t-shirt and share his bed . "okay ," agrees but doesn't start , trying to keep still and not move in fear she'll ruin the moment and their trance will be broken . she didn't want him to regret it -- her , touch immediately stealing the air from her lungs , letting go of lesser just when he tugs it free , absentmindedly kissing his thumb , gaze dropping down to his lips once more . "i'm sorry ," she whispers , "don't hate me ."

oh , she's on cloud nine . so big and bad when he's talking about his girl back home .. until she's grinding herself all over his lap , and he's rock hard underneath her . constance who ? her nails are scratching up the front of his shirt , clawing at the fabric as she ruts herself along his groin , again and again , dragging out each movement to make a point . that he's hers , that he belongs to her . something she's never cared to claim ... until now . moans fumble past her lips as he bucks into her , goosebumps scattering along her limbs and making her head feel dizzy . he's so psychotic , she wants to lick him dry . a grin dimples her cheeks at the bills that rain onto her lap and she's snatching them , shoving them safely into her bra . " such a good boy . " purrs , pupils dilated with arousal and mischief . couldn't hide it even if she wanted to , and she's not bothering to . not when she can feel how much he's enjoying this . jaw falls open around a shocked mewl , scalp stining from his grip as she continues rolling herself along his lap , not bothering to follow the beat of the music anymore . they can make their own . " is that why you came here , morgan ? couldn't stand the thought of me doing this with anybody else ? " if he wants her to admit things , then he can , too . first being that he's full of shit . a whimper emits as he marks her throat and she's trailing her palm down his abdomen , brushing daringly close to the buckle of his pants . " this doesn't feel good , " lies just like he encourages her to , fingers lifting to curl harshly into his curls , " i'm dry as the sahara . i feel nothing . "
he's lost his mind , it's the only thing he could come up with when she's flush against his crotch , rolling her hips into his and straining his cock against the fabric of briefs , making it harder to control now that she's within reach . touching him , dangling the carrot in front of his face and like the gentleman he is , he's taking it . grips her waist , dress nearly ripping between his fingertips as he yanks her closer , bucks his hips to feel the warmth between her thighs and waits for the litter of noises to come out of her mouth , lips he wants to bruise by the end of the night . it's a thought that doesn't leave him , flashing in his mind in all the ways he could make her whine and thrust , cry and plead for him to stop -- keep going -- wanting more , he's not sure , but he's destined to find out . reaches in his back pocket to pull his wallet out , peeling a band of hundreds from beneath it's clip to fling three hundred dollars on her lap . "there you go , baby ," he breathes against her lips , reaching to grip her hair and yank hard , exploiting her neck to him . shamelessly drags his eyes down to the valley between her breasts , collar doing justice in breaching her cleavage , corner of his mouth lifted into a vicious smile . "you can play stupid all you want , you've been vying for a chance to ride my cock ," he whispers against her throat , daring to sink his teeth into the skin , marking his wife as his . "tell me this doesn't feel good ," another buck of his hips , "perfect those lies you love spitting out so much ."

smiles softly , giving his head a subtle shake . " nah , think i just love everything about you actually . " it's muttered quietly , as if she weren't only inches away and the room wasn't deafeningly quiet . his heart is a frantic mess in his chest , fingers fisting into his pillowcase to keep from reaching out .. a feat that's proving harder with each passing second . he craves her proximity , the scent of her sweet perfume , the way soft browns are staring at him . god , he's screwed . " are you warm enough ? " is asking out of her pure selfishness , and without an answer , his palm is reaching out and curling into her waist , tugging her closer . " i can grab more blankets if you want . " whispers into the small space , hues playing a dangerous game of yo - yo between her eyes and her mouth . pulling her closer definitely wasn't his brightest idea but neither was letting her come back here with him , and letting her sleep in his bed , and wear his clothes . everything about her is taunting . " okay , you start . " counting sheep , he means . but he's still staring at her lips , and how her teeth are worried into her lesser , a nervous habit of hers . knows that , because he knows everything about her . without thinking , he's reaching out and capturing the side of her face , thumb running along her bottom lip and gently tugging it free . but instead of moving away like he should , thumb continues rubbing along the soft flesh of her lips , and he's swallowing . hard . " we can stay up however long you want . " timbre is rougher , distracted . she's so beautiful , so perfect .. " you're killing me , you know . "
"you just love blaming me for everything , don't you ?" teases playfully , eyes rolling as she huffs a breath . won't admit that he could be right , having too much fun playing coy , instead . gaze softens at the edges , looking at his face , tracing over every inch she's since memorized since the moment they met . round eyes , nose , curve of his mouth .. she flicks eyes back to his , dropping her hand down to the space in between them . "good ," whispers , rather breathlessly , surprising her how easy it was for him to make her nervous . she'd been with so many men in between their break up and now and yet none of them held a flame to the way he made her feel just by looking at her . saying her name . talking to her . skin boils hot like he'd just turned on the heater , sinking canines into the flesh of her bottom lip as lesser parts to exhale , "we could count sheep together ." offers quietly , hoping he doesn't fall asleep yet . wanting the night to never end in fear of everything changing in the morning , reverting back to the days where he would pick her up from another wasted evening , disappointed in her choice of men when the one she really wanted was staring back at her . forces the thought away because he doesn't feel the same way and she didn't want to ruin a good thing . "salem .. can we stay up for a little while longer ?"

no , she can't . has a festering need to dig herself so far beneath his skin that she haunts every inch of his life , from the bar , to their home , to the deepest crevices of his mind . maybe then he'd forget all about his sweet , innocent constance . snorts , tongue prodding her cheek , " yeah , and while she waits for you like a dog , you're here getting all hot and bothered over me . " a smug smirk tugs at her lips but it's wiped off seconds later as he throws her over his shoulder and hauls her through the crowd . barely gets a second to register what's happening , all the blood rushing to her head and pounding in her ears , before he's tossing her onto velvet . blows a strand of hair out of her face , fingers immediately tugging at the hem of her dress to pull it down . " your manners are shit , calloway . anyone ever tell you not to play with your food ? " isn't giving him a chance to rebuttal , nor to flee , as she grabs a fistful of his shirt and drags him down . she's shifting onto her knees , crawling onto his lap , and straddling him -- for all his monkeys and working whores to see . " dance here ? " hums on a taunt , sinking further into his lap until they're perfectly flush , and she's smiling , rolling her hips forward , " if i'm gonna whore myself out for everyone to see , the least you can do is pay me . "
"you just can't help yourself , can you ?" timbre is grated -- angry . for someone who rarely ever lost it , his men are the first to realize tonight was going to be a long night . they had not only one woman in his life to look after , but another , listing babysitting under their job description . because nikita was going to singlehandedly be the death of them all . milo drags the lifeless body out of eye sight , river joining soon after . attention remains on his wife however and her undeniable skill to run his skin hot by mouth and attitude alone . wonders how she'd look on her knees with his cock buried deep inside her throat while she choked on it and the thought threatens to shoot the blood straight down to his groin . strains himself to keep from giving her the satisfaction of an affect , tucking his gun safely back beneath the waistband of his trousers . "she's waiting for me at home like the woman i know her to be . unlike my wife who has no problem whoring herself out for everyone to see ." when she's off the table , he doesn't hesitate to reach down , wrapping strong arm over the backs of her knees and hoisting her over his shoulder . if she wanted to act like a spoiled brat , he was going to start treating her like one until they're back in his section , tossed down on the velvet seat . "you wanna dance ? dance here ." where he can enjoy it .

once she's sliding in beside him , he's tugging them comforter over her , too , and ensuring that she's got plenty to avoid the accusation that rolls off her tongue seconds later . " i'm not the blanket hog here . think the culprit is too busy pointing fingers right now . " murmurs teasingly , arm moving to rest behind his head as he watches her . there's barely any light in the room aside from the streetlight slipping in through the cracks of his curtains and it streams along the side of her face perfectly , outlining her silhouette . it should feel odd being this close to her , but it doesn't . it feels natural , and familiar , like they're reliving an old memory in the present . stares at her as she toys with his hair , his own fingers twitching with the urge to reach out and touch her , too , but he doesn't trust himself . while he yearns for her , she yearns for the love of others . it's how it's been for years now and it's a reality that he's accepted . besides , she didn't come here for that . she came for the company , and he could give that to her . " no . " lies , timbre a soft whisper as his feet shift to entangle with hers , " it's not hard at all . " his eyes dance along her face slowly , drinking in every aspect of how she looks right now , trying to paint it into his memory . " think you're gonna make sleeping impossible , though . " especially knowing what she's wearing beneath his big , baggy shirt . " gonna have to sing me a lullaby or somethin' to lull me to sleep . "
felt his eyes on her the second clothes are ridden and her stomach swarms with the tightness he usually evoked whenever he was around . having forced herself to remain impassive in the past , not wanting to ruin the chance he gave her at reconciling their friendship after she had destroyed their relationship. she smiles big when he complies , moving to get in beside him once he shuts off the lights . “i will get my cute ass in ,” counters with stuck out tongue before warmth buries her body beneath the covers , turning onto her side so that she’s facing him , flattening her palm underneath her cheek . “just don’t steal all the blankets , you know i get cold at night .” muses with a laugh , reaching over to run her fingertips through his hair , pushing it out of his eyes so that she can look at him better . or maybe she just needed an excuse to touch him , blame it on something else . would be a liar if she said being here with him again felt good — familiar . better than any other time she’s spent her time in bed with other men who often left her alone when they were done with her or with their backs turned while they slept . “see , this isn’t so hard . is it ?” of course it is , the voice in the back of her head barks , but you can’t help yourself .

misses the interactions between him and his henchmen , too busy thinking of all the way she'd kill his little girlfriend if she ever got her hands on her . all the while she's still moving her hips to the beat of the music and letting the other man's hands roam her body freely . why not , when her husband has no problem screwing other women ? attention , however , is grabbed the moment she hears murmurs and gasps , hues snapping to the crowd and how it parts . took longer than she expected to make his way over , their eyes connecting in a haunted deadlock as she sees movement from her peripheral and without breaking their gaze , knows that it's a gun . because of course it is -- he's just as insane as she is . she'd do the same damn thing . and then , the gun shot sounds and it rings in her ears , feels the hot splatter of blood along her legs , and assumes it on her dress , too . get down . now . " or what ? " counters , leaning down until her face is hovering above his , " are you going to shoot me , too , morgan ? " might save them both the trouble if he did . she stays there , hovering above him , hues traveling along his face before a smile slowly inches across her lips . " i told you that she was too boring for you . couldn't even get you to lose all this tension in your shoulders and chest .. had to come here and ruin all my fun . " and , without another word , she's letting her glass shatter to the table from her grip , and hopping down from the booth .
his patience is slim to none . feels a little trigger happy so it's no surprise he's texting the russo twins to let them know blood will be splattered at the hands of his wife , who can't seem to keep herself in line . felt the need to push his buttons , see how far she can go before he snapped . it didn't take much this time , having severed it since the moment she came into his home earlier that evening . he wasn't about to play a game of chess when he could just jump to the finish line and accept the prize money . he smiles when their eyes meet though it doesn't reach the corners , tongue running along his teeth , leaning his head over to milo who whispered about discarding the body in the river once he's finished . nods in agreement , weapon tucked beneath his dress shirt burning against his skin before he takes his drink and salutes her from where he is , downing the contents and leaving the room . the crowd parts when he exits the section , taking his time as he makes way to the center of the main event . because nikita couldn't help herself , having always grabbed attention from everyone within eye sight just by confidence alone . wasn't lost on him that she was drop dead gorgeous , dress painted on her frame doing justice to accentuate delicious curves . reaching behind to pull his gun out , he aims it at the man in front of him , shooting him in the back of the head . ignores the gasps and screams , knowing no one in the club wasn't going to say anything , having signed their lives away the second they became a member . "get down ," he tells her , "now ."

from the top of his head to the tips of his toes , he's drenched in a heat that leaves him , ironically , frozen in place . watches as she tugs her dress over her head , revealing tanned , petite physique .. one he used to map with his mouth and hands , one he had memorized years ago . tries to keep his eyes on hers but gaze falters and betrays him -- slinking down her slender neck to full , supple breasts adorned in lace , then to flat stomach .. and to -- his shirt hides the rest of her , and he's yanking his eyes away again . " nah , it's okay . i don't mind . " shrugs it off , offering a lopsided smile to try and chase away the tension beginning to bite at the back of his neck . yeah , bringing her back here was definitely a bad idea . tongue runs along his lesser , glancing to spot beside her as she pats it and the sight of her on his bed evokes an odd emotion inside of him . a mixture of longing and nostalgia that he hasn't been able to shake all evening . another sign to leave and not cave in . but she's giving him those big , brown eyes , and he's groaning , " stasia ... " name is practically pled from his lips . she knows what she's doing , that he's a sucker for that goddamn stare . i just need you . and there ya go , the final nail in his coffin . stifles a sigh and gives a shake of his head , " fine . " says after a beat , turning the lights off and yanking back the duvet . " get your cute ass in here before i decide i don't want your knobby knees digging into my back all night . "
he's stumbling on his words and she remains quiet , despite the smirk subtly pursed into the corner of her mouth seeing the affect she still had on him . it made her feel good . head cocks when gaze falters to her breasts , fighting the urge to kiss him right there . just because he looked at her like that and it made her stomach swirl with butterflies . "good ," she murmurs , "then i'll take them all ." watches from the corner of the bed as he starts to undress himself , burying the warmth in her chest that spreads like wildfire throughout her body , straight down to her toes . gaze settles on his chest , stomach , legs before he slips his shirt on , telling her he'll take the couch bringing her back to the moment . eyes roll , "i do not drool , but if i did -- and i'm not saying i did -- it was one time ." shaking her head , she shifts to peel her dress off her body and standing to let it pool down to her feet . their eyes lock , stood in nothing but her lingerie as she takes the shirt he had laid out for her , slipping it over her body until it falls mid-thigh . "you don't have to ," offers a smile , patting the mattress behind her , "i promise to keep to my side of the bed ." eyes plead , lesser pursed into a pout knowing it's harder for him to say no to her when she did that . "i just need you ." words come out before she could stop them , clearing her throat as she sits back , "you should stay ." -- "unless you don't want to ."

" is that supposed to make me feel better ? " because it doesn't , it offers no refuge to the burning beneath her skin .. how her wounds are opened and bleeding for everyone around them to see . would possibly be embarrassed if she weren't so consumed with the betrayal playing out right before her eyes . " so , were you just .. going to hide it from me then -- hope i didn't find out ? " almost wishes she hadn't come , maybe it would've been better to be kept in the dark than witness it firsthand . " what else are you going to do as a favor for her ? " emits a wet laugh , tongue swiping along her lesser as she ducks her head and tries to hide her drawn expression . " you wouldn't , but you did . "
feels the corners of his mouth pull downward , attempting to school them into normality as soon as possible so she doesn't notice . hand scratching an non existing itch to hide the grimace that surfaces . " i didn't know you'd be here " and his mother wanted him to bring her , but of course that answer is just as pathetic as he feels right now . " it's just a favor , to her family " shrugs his shoulder , dismissing the subject as teeth dip into bottom brim . " i wouldn't do that " he breaths out , finally daring to find her gaze .

" well , that's your first mistake : don't assume that i knew anything when i thought everything between us was nothing but sex . you never made me think it was any different than that .. that you'd ever want more with me . you fucking told me that you don't even date . " well , actually , he mentioned that his last serious relationship was a while ago ... but still , she can do the math . an exasperated noise tears past her throat , sounding eerily similiar to a growl . " because you're so aggravating ! telling me you want me is different than telling me you want to be with me . they aren't the same fucking thing ! i've never changed my mind about you - i've always been stuck on you since day one , but you're confusing , and i never know what you're thinking . you were literally trying to get with my friend earlier and now you're giving me ultimatums like .. what the hell am i supposed to think ? " palms slap against the countertop , ignoring the subtle sting as she glares at him . " you want me to tell you how i feel ? fine . i feel like you're a pain in my ass , like you've embedded yourself beneath my skin like a disease that i can't get out no matter how much i try . and trust me , i do . i try not to love you , i try not to want you , and look where it gets me . on your doorstep like a pathetic fucking loser begging you for a gram of attention because i can't stand the thought of you not wanting me anymore . "
“ can't imagine why . tell him that people do it all the time in france . ” even with the joking tone in his voice , he's still remaining still . doesn't move from his side of the kitchen . she was going to have to say a lot of things to get him to feel comfortable enough to put himself out there again . wasn't going to continue to make a fool of himself . “ i've always wanted to be monogamous with you , you just never mentioned it . the ball was always in your court . if you wanted more , i would've given you more . but you never asked ––- assumed that you already knew what the answer would be . ” partially doesn't blame her though . deacon hasn't had a girlfriend since the first grade . but that was because he never met someone that was worth it in his eyes . “ also , i have told you how i felt . repeatedly . i also want to remind you that i've been the only consistent one here . you're the one who's always running from me . you're the one always changing your mind . i've been here from the beginning . i constantly put myself out there for you to walk all over my heart . so i'm not going to keep baring my soul for you , it's your turn . ”

" right , and i told you that i don't believe you . " says matter - of - factly . " you don't go around shoving your tongue down people's throats on accident . your actions were intentional and your message was received . so , there's nothing left to talk about . " and she's more stubborn than a bull , refusing to wave white flag when he destroyed her trust . doesn't matter that they aren't together now -- it still dug a knife into her back when she heard about it . " but you did do it . " points out with an eye roll , " i thought i knew you , but clearly , i was wrong . you gave into the first bitch who showed interest in you . that's fucking embarrassing . "
“ i already told you , that kiss meant nothing to me . ” needs her to hear him out , to believe him , “ you didn’t even let me explain myself . ” and he needs to , needs her to give him the chance to . “ are you just – going to throw it all away ? as if we were nothing ? come on , mari … you know this is real , you and me , and i wouldn’t – i wouldn’t do that . you know me . ”

one minute , she wants thing to be casual , and the next , she's completely flipping the script . can see the wheels spinning in her head and the sudden shift in the air -- how it goes from playful and lighthearted to tense and heavy . shoves himself up onto his elbow , confusion contorting his expression . " uh , no .. i'm not gonna forget it when you're acting all weird about it . " watches as she begins to collect her items , tugging shirt over bare frame , and he's taking that as his cue to follow suit . shoves the comforter off of him , tugging his boxers back on , but he's freezing at her declaration -- " what ? " blinks , head snapping to look at her . " what the fuck do you m .. where is this coming from ? is this really because i slept with somebody else ? " -- " no , we're not gonna be done . you're being ridiculous . "
she shouldn’t have trusted him , or thought this perhaps could go somewhere , even if she was the one to suggest keeping things casual , that she wasn’t looking for anything with anyone . the way he held her , or looked at her , or kissed her , how long this had been going on for too … it had her change her mind , she just … never voiced it , believed it was mutual – but it wasn’t , it hadn’t been , not when he had to go and fuck whatever that skank’s name was . “ right , no ! of course not . that’s – totally my bad . forget i even said anything . ” she’s sliding off of his bed , leaning down to grasp for her t-shirt , only to quickly pull it over her head . “ you know maybe we should stop doing this , jude . ” doesn’t even look at him as she speaks , “ this whole thing it was – a terrible fucking idea . ”

immediately regrets approaching him , for pushing where boundaries weren't meant to be pushed . married . he's getting married , and it isn't to her . hues are tearing themselves away , forcing them elsewhere so he doesn't seen the potent paint swimming in dark irises . " i didn't realize it was .. that serious already . " how foolish could she have been to assume his father wouldn't force his hand ? her stomach churns and her palms are raking down the front of her gown , trying to hide the way they tremble along the fabric . god , she may be sick . " don't say that . " whispers , brows wrinkling her forehead as she spares a nervous glance around them to ensure nobody is paying them anybody . " you can't say that . it's not - it isn't fair . " it fills her with false hopes and promises that they'll never be able to bring to fruition . wishing on a star that will only burn out quicker than they did . " that's .. that's insane . we can't run away . i have a life here - i have my career . we can't . "
“ i had no choice . ” bastian isn’t doing any of this because he wants to , but because he’s forced to . “ i'm getting married , mila . ” pauses , eyes boring into hers as he speaks . “ i can’t call the engagement off , even if i want to . ” he’ll resent his father for making him do this , for not having dealt with the duponts sooner , or found a way to pay of the debt he has with them . instead , he’s making him pay the price . if only he’d left to london with his brother he wouldn’t be in this mess . “ it should be you wearing that ring , not her . ” leans closer then , digits subtly brushing down her arm , as if he were afraid anyone would notice . “ we could run away . go somewhere , anywhere . i'm serious , mila … we could . ”

scoffs , head snapping to look at him as if he grew a second head on his shoulder . " are you really gonna play this game with me ? " isn't one she's in the mood to entertain , no matter how much she used to enjoy the cat and mouse chase between them . " i'm not worked up over anything . just need you to get it through that thick skull of yours that this -- " gestures between them , " isn't happening anymore . i'm on a date . shoo . "
"we're not, though." he argued, voice even, slightly amused at the whole situation. "look at you. if we were done, you wouldn't be getting so worked up over me."

put on her tightest , most expensive cocktail dress that she could find , took a couple celebratory shots for the road , and left to the exact place she knew that she shouldn't go to . the gentleman's club . since he was so keen on divorcing her only hours prior , decided to leave the one piece of jewelry that kept her off - limits at home : that gaudy diamond ring . if he wanted to fuck constance while she was gone , so be it . had no real interest in pursuing renzo , no matter how sexy and broody he was .. just wanted to dip her toes in , and test the waters , and piss her betrothed off in the process . knew that they'd notify him she was here as soon as her heels entered the venue and the adrenaline of doing something devious has her on a high . so , she indulges in it . flirts with a couple of men at the bar , fingers trailing along their arms , leaning into their space and practically sitting on their laps . at one point , winds up dancing on top of a booth , martini glass in one hand and her hips swaying along to the beat . it's then that she feels eyes on her . no , his eyes . and hers are opening , a toothy smile on her face as their eyes connect and she's tipping her glass in cheers just as the men near her feet is guiding his hand up her ankle , slowly inching it higher up her thighs . but her focus isn't on him , it's on the man that despises her . the same man who pledged a vow to love her in sickness and in health -- when there was no love that existed between them in the first place . wonders if he fucked his ex yet and came here after , if he still reeks of her perfume , if he fixed his hair before he came in . and it's that thought that has her tearing her gaze away , and finishing off her cocktail .
time skip.
patience was long since diminished since the moment he stepped out of that room , leaving his betrothed wife behind to deal with his stubborn sister . knew it wasn't easy growing up with their father , who pushed her in ways he didn't for anyone else , simply because she was a girl . always having to prove herself more than others that she was worthy . good enough . when the older calloway had passed away , taking their mother with them at the hands of an enemy , he stepped up to raise maxie . that meant implementing new rules . punishments in place for her when she broke them . to heal her , while also teaching her that pain wasn't with the intention to purposely hurt you . so when milo came in , giving him the dreadful news of her seen with the son of an enemy , she was met with the imprint of a palm by the hand of another , jason , who he considered a brother . because he couldn't be the one to do it . he'd been on edge since , jaw locked . eyes rigid . tension flaring on top his shoulders as he enters the club , renzo mentioning something about his wife and her hands being too soft for someone so sharp . he hauls up in his section with the perfect view of the entire club , waiting . watching .

well , he's got her there : wouldn't exactly be the first time she's sung this song .. most likely wouldn't be the last , either , with their track record . " yeah , well .. " stands a little straighter , chin set in defiance , " i do mean it this time . " and even to her own ears , it sounds like a fraudulent lie . " i'm not testing you , cartier . if you're looking for me to beg you to stay , you've lost your damn mind . i know exactly what you've been up to since we cut ties – can't say i'm surprised it took you all of five minutes to slither between someone else's thighs . "
" no. i've just heard it before. " perhaps a sign that it wasn't meant-to-be, but how could it be wrong if they kept falling back into each other ? " do you really mean it this time, or is this some kind of test. because if you want me gone, i'll go. "
