#* 🤎 : [ beth dutton ] . . .

[atl0yalty]

    she left jenkins at her wake, still perched at the bar like he thought he had a chance- he never would, ordinarily. but beth liked to play rough, and she wasn't opposed to using every weapon in her arsenal, even if it meant enduring his sweaty hand on her thigh or getting close enough to feel his breath of her cheek- it made her feel dirty, the urge to scald her body with a hot shower growing stronger with every step away from the lodge. the bruise on her cheek smarts something awful, and she crooked her jaw with a click of her tongue, reaching up with the back of her hand to press her sleeve covered arm against the mark her so-called brother had made. oh, she had swung first there was no doubt about it. but she knew jamie had A MONSTER inside him. and it's only a matter of time before everyone else saw it too.

starter call / @patentyd : beth for rip.

                " you ever fuckin' sleep, rip? " she called out as her eyes caught sight of him lurking in the shadows of the barn, her steps faltering slightly as she looks past him toward where she had fallen just hours before, and she rolled her eyes as she moved to march on. he would follow dutifully, of that beth was sure. as loyal to her father as beth dutton may be, ain't NO ONE more loyal than rip. " carry on cowboy, " she drawled listlessly, barely glancing over her shoulder as she reached the fence, hoisting the skirt of her dress up slightly so she could move to climb over it, sitting on the ledge with one leg on either side. " i don't need you babysittin' me tonight. " it's almost midnight, the day's end approaches and she can feel the tension rise in her bones as she wills it to come faster. she's so fucking tired.

                      " i don't want you to do shit, rip- " stubborn protest sits on her tongue as she rolled her eyes ever slightly, conscious of his care for her, and how protective he can be. which, she loves. there's a lot that she feels when she's with rip, but it's the safety that comes with his intent gaze and his firm hand that truly warms her cold heart. instinctively, she leans in to his grasp a little, green eyes rising to stare back with just as much righteous fury, softened by her love for him, however UNSPOKEN. she lets him examine her and the bruise that colours her cheek- it smarts some, hurts a little. despite what she said, jamie's hook had some punch to it, and as PATHETIC as her brother may be, which he is, he'd still knocked her to the ground. beth's indignant anger simmered in her blood at the memory, but she simply sat still for rip's careful touch.

           " are you done? " she asked of him quietly, without her usual bite of spiteful exasperation. rarely is she ever soft spoken, but the few times she is, it's only ever with him. " you can't kill him, rip- s'much as i'd like you to, my father would lose his fuckin' shit and i like you in one piece. " her own hand rises, fingers combing through his beard as she mimics his hold on her jaw by cupping his. she smiled, shrugging non-chalantly. " don't i always? "

an irritated breath escapes chapped lips as a hand departs from his coat pocket to adjust the hat on his head. ❛ beth , it's too late for this shit tonight. come out with it. ❜ he says , jaw clenching to quell his anger. her answer has his heart overwhelming his head , eyes unfocused now. ❛ 'm gonna kill him. ❜ he mumbles , not exactly to her , just out loud. wild eyes struggle to focus on her face even after her protests against his anger , rolling within his head as he shifts restlessly.

❛ beth , what the hell do you want me to do with information , huh? ❜ his voice is laced with irritation , not with her , more so the situation , she'd put him between a rock & a hard place. he wanted out. he wanted to go wild. to fight. ―― a hand finally reaches up to grip her chin , scanning the mark. ❛ tell me you made 'em hurt . . . ❜ there was still this ferocity to his gaze , searching for any common ground that would help calm the rage in his chest. his heart. his love.

                                                his words fill her with a warmth she dare not display, too content in her stubborn pride to let anything trigger the vulnerability hidden beneath the armour she wore like a second skin. her back to him now, she's confident that the smile she allowed creep 'pon her lips is just for her to indulge in- he cannot know how truly fond she is of him, even if she had revealed the depth of her feelings on a slip of the tongue that night with the wolves. he was smart in his own way, but not smarter than beth- " all that's tellin' me, rip, is that you ain't tired enough at the end've the day- i can help with that, you know. " shit-eating grin flashes on her face then as she looks over her shoulder at him, climbing up onto the fence and shifting until she's comfortable.

                  her name in his rough voice has her breath catching, and she averts eye contact for a hearts beat- SHE KNOWS HIM. whatever their relationship may be, she knows him. he wouldn't take kindly to the bruise that formed nicely on her cheek. she could have avoided this if she'd just made her way up to the lodge. but she hadn't. green eyes flit upwards to meet the piercing stare of his own blue, and she shrugged. " jamie- he hits like a fuckin' girl. " words drawl as she eyes him, watching as the rage simmers in his body and beth expelled a breath, shaking the tension from her own by holding out her hand to him. " don't get stupid, rip- i started it. " as much as she would LOVE to see him with her brother's neck wrung in his grasp, she's not prepared for him to face the consequences for defending her. her father may not give a shit about jamie, but he's still a dutton. " i'm alright. "

body hidden beneath the shadows ; it felt like that had been where he had spent most of his young life & occasionally where he found solitude , at least until he'd met her. he'd found her here tonight & knew something was off , not by her remarks , those never changed but her composure , now that concerned him. although that didn't stop a chuckle from slipping from his lips at her question. ❛ darlin' , i haven't slept since the day that i met you. ❛ he said before pushing himself off the wall of the barn , starting to approach but she'd beat him to it & was now heading the opposite direction.

❛ beth- . . . ❜ he'd started. the barn was dark but he didn't fail to notice the mark upon her cheek. his expression darkened , but he didn't speak , not at first that is. he instead follows , allowing her to finish her protest & then he speaks , ❛ what the hell happened to your face , beth? ❜ it wasn't exactly a question , not one he'd let go unanswered at least. hands stuff into his coat pockets to try & coax the rage from building higher. ❛ who ? ❜
