The Adventures of Amina Al-Sarafi by by Shannon Chakraborty should have a fanatical tumblr fandom. Sure, because it's excellent - wonderfully plotted, vivid characters, joyously queer, set in a historical world that feels like it's breathing with life and just enough of the fantastic to keep me riveted. Yes yes, all of that. Here's the thing though.
There is a man, and he is pathetic. He's pretty, he's damned, he's annoying, he's terrible. And it feels fundamentally wrong that I have experienced this media, and my dash isn't filled with people who want to save him, want to make him hurt worse, who are turning him into sopping wet kitten or a hyper-sexual dom.
To be clear, I am not, primarily, a pathetic man enjoyer! The main character is a badass middle aged woman who is exhausted, that is my catnip. Amazing. But it still feels wrong, to see this prototypical tumblr dreamboat and for him not to have a feral fandom for me to be fondly annoyed by. Pathetic men enjoyers I need you to come get your poor little meow meow, stat.

when she had a day off during the week, bea took a solo vacation to granite falls. she's been pretty determined to spend more time improving her herbalism skill... and she has! ✅max the herbalism skill ✅ complete the outdoor enthusiast aspiration yet... all she could think about was wondering what her husband and daughter were up to at home. maybe she should take a break from the outdoors every weekend and just cherish the smaller adventures that happen at home.

today my mom called from my grandma's place and asked me what that one show was called. i was like 'oh you mean walp??' and then i could also hear my mom's brother on speaker phone like 'what was it called again?' it wasn't long until i also heard amina's voiceover from the first ep lol. apparently mom wanted to rec the show to my uncle.
and then later i was on the phone with my best friend who said that she'd been watching anjana's bl*ck mirr*r ep (for the ??th time) when her stepdaughter had asked what the show was. she said she loves the actor and just seen her somewhere but didn't remember the show (or movie?). and apparently my best friend was immediately going on about how i'd gotten like. a handwritten note on the back of the album art from the actor when i'd ordered her vinyl lol

this fundraiser is extremely low on funds and has only received one donation in two days
Amina is a 28 year old mother of three: Nasser (8), Bara (4) and Adam (2). She’s fundraising in hopes of saving her children from this genocide and getting the money to feed them and give them a safe future. They’ve already been displaced five times and are struggling very badly to find food and water and everything they need to survive, and even when they find it it’s extremely expensive. It’s every parents worst nightmare to see their children suffering but not have the means to give them food and get them to safety. These children deserve to live healthy and safe, not have to hear the sounds of bombs every day. Amina is not asking for much, only whatever you can give to save her children. If you have any money to give today, please consider helping Amina or at least share this post so it can reach people who will. They only have €2,288 raised, which is only 5% of their goal and have only received €5 in the past three days. we can change that!

I've only gotten to watch the first episode of the new season of We Are Lady Parts so far and I have many thoughts but my first one that I was literally screaming over (in a good way) was how Ahsan admitted that he's pretty.

~Thursday- December 31st, 2021~
The base thumped as the sweaty drunken bodies bounced, slid, bumped, and gyrated against each other in one of the most popular clubs on arguably thee most popular night for the city… in the most popular city in the world for this day. New Year’s Day always brought those from all over the country to New York City for one reason or another; be it a Broadway Musical, the Macy’s Day Parade on the day itself, or one of the many festivities the night before…the city had plenty of stories to tell. Some of those stories would be amazing, some would not be described with the same sentiment. And…Unfortunately for some, New York City was no Vegas…and what happened there would most definitely not stay there.
Amina was dancing, for the first time in a long time she was carefree. A state that she didn’t reach often, especially if she wasn’t drinking. Her nerves were much too high to get drunk, that was a recipe for disaster. Before her big basketball games in High School and College her and her teammates had their traditions that got them through pre-game and game day nerves. That luxury wouldn’t be awarded this time, she was doing this on her own. No teammates to fall back on, and she was entering into a sport where they would chew her up and spit her out if she showed weakness or lack of skill. Oddly enough she had become cool with a couple of her female colleagues so when she was invited out for New Year’s Eve in New York City she gladly went. She threw on a short black cocktail dress and the red Swarovski Crystal Louboutin’s she got for Christmas, some black eyeliner, a couple coats of mascara and a red lip stain to tie it all together and left her hotel room with only a couple goals. Dancing and having fun, hopefully hold the nerves.
She didn’t have the chance to become too familiar with her male colleagues but the ones she was introduced this evening seemed pretty nice and welcoming so far. Dancing with a couple and having conversations with others, being socialable wasn’t as hard as it usually was for her. Granted she was being introduced by someone that already liked her and had even taken her under her wing as her ‘little sister’, was also a plus. But even still, she normally stuck to herself being slightly shy because a lot of people had the misconception that she was either stuck up, conceited, or a mean girl. She was no stranger to being bullied, so this atmosphere was definitely a change of pace, and she was trying.
One guy in particular lingered a little longer than everyone else that talked to her. Amina enjoyed talking to him and even picking his brain a bit since he had already been in the business a while. He was easy to talk to and offered his help in the future with navigating anything in the business. For some reason, this man was comforting and that led to finding out he was funny, and that led to finding out he wasn’t a terrible dancer, and that led to both being fully sober when Amina found out his lips were soft when the club showed the ball drop and the clock struck midnight.
₊˚ ‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵˚₊
“S-shit…” Amina’s mouth fell open as she panted out; she gripped onto the sheets.
“Fuck mama…you takin’ dis dick so good baby….”
Josh held onto her hips with his right hand as he hammered into her, using his left to grip and straighten her chin as he dipped his head to kiss her. The champagne on his tongue that he used to cheers at midnight, mingling with the sweet fruity flavors from her non-alcoholic drink on her tongue as the two tongues battled each other for dominance. He squeezed her chin to get her to submit to his lead, she uttered incoherent words against his lips. Pulling away from the kiss his thumb swiped across her red lipstick-stained lips, smudging it lightly. She choked on her moans when he picked up the pace. Her lust-filled eyes glanced down where their bodies joined before roaming over his entire being. Josh was consuming and attentive, rough yet tender, passionate, and his strokes were lethal. When his eyes met hers, his lips formed a small lopsided smile. 
Her sensuality all evening had enthralled him, being inside of her was satisfying in so many ways. Every touch she left was warm and intoxicating. Her aura…welcoming and soft, not what he had imagined. The hiss they both let out in unison when he first sank himself into her; she was a vocal lover and he was slowly consumed with the sounds he could evoke from her. As her hands roamed his abs and chest he found himself already becoming addicted to being in her presence and attention. Lowering his lips to hers, contentment filled him when they collided.
“Mm… this tight ass pussy…. this gon’ be my pussy now mama?” Josh groaned into her ear, nibbling on the lobe.
Amina couldn’t form the words to answer the way she wanted as he made his strokes shallow and hard, hitting her g-spot over and over. He sucked on her neck leaving behind splotchy love bites. She ground her hips up as she felt the tip of his dick nudging her cervix. Josh moved his hand from her hip and pressed down on her lower stomach, and he slowed his thrusts; he watched his dick slide in and out of her, it glistened in her juices as his ears filled with the sounds of her wetness. She shivered under his touch, eyes rolling into the back of her head as she came.
“I need words baby…” he removed his hand from her chin, tapping her lightly on the cheek with the tips of his fingers. 
“P-p-please…baby…You... ugh… you feel s’good…I can’ttt” Amina moans, squirming as he fucked her through her orgasm.
Josh moaned as Amina rolled them over. He propped his head on a pillow as he watched her slow wind in his lap, squeezing her own breasts as she started to bounce; a new sense of pleasure surging through her as her body started to climb towards another orgasm as she barely finished the first. His hands traversed her curves in an appreciative and exploratory manner. Grabbing Amina’s waist, he thrusted up into her as she threw her head back. Sitting up, Josh reached his left hand up and wrapped it around her throat, applying slight pressure. Sucking her right nipple into his mouth,swirling his tongue around it, his lust filled eyes met her hooded ones as he looked up at her when her head lulled back forward. Pushing his body up more on his right elbow he used his left hand that was around her neck to pull her lips hungrily to his. He bit on her bottom lip, squeezing her neck as her ass was clapping against his thighs.
“J-JOSH!!”
“That’s right baby…let the whole floor know who fuckin’ this pussy…”
Clenching her walls slightly Amina spun around and faced away from him with his dick still throbbing inside of her as he laid back with his arms behind his head watching her; he bit his lip. Holding onto his calves she started to bounce; he slapped her ass cheeks as they ricocheted off his pelvis, his eyes slightly mesmerized. He closed his eyes and licked his lips as his balls started to tighten as his orgasm built. Amina started to rock as she used her right hand to rub her own clit. Josh sat up and switched their positions; he reached and gripped behind her knees putting them in a full nelson.
“Mm fuck…you on birth control Amina? Fuck! Let me bust in you…”
Amina nodded her head adamantly as she moaned, picking up the speed of her right hand rubbing her clit; she was completely at his mercy. Josh bounced Amina on his dick as her moans strung together, echoing off the room's walls. She rubbed her left hand down her body to his balls, gently massaging them in her palm as she rhythmically squeezed her pussy walls around his throbbing dick. He picked up the pace, bouncing her fast and sloppy; her breasts bouncing.
“F-Fuck J-JOSH!!!!!” Amina screamed out, her walls clenching in steady pulses as she came.
“Shit Baby...” Josh grunted as he filled her with his cum, biting down on her shoulder as she swiveled her hips slowly, his dick twitched as his warm ropes coated her pussy; emptying himself.
Both were panting as they came down, Amina rested her head back on him. Josh slid his arms around her waist; she placed her hands gingerly on his as he kissed her temple.
Tumblr media
~Friday- January 1st, 2022~
Amina stood under the hot water, the steam soothing her muscles that were already beginning to ache. It was the big New Years Day episode of Smackdown in New York City at thee Madison Square Garden, and it just so happened to be her debut as well. She had practiced with Mercedes a couple times the week leading up to this in between the house shows. Mercedes was an easy partner to work with and she was really sweet. Everyone had been so far. It was always good to see everyone outside of work so the party last night that Bianca and Kenneth through was helping with her nerves as well. Now, that was her opinion walking into the arena this afternoon. Her debut did not go the way they had rehearsed… it at all. She still bested Mercedes like she was supposed to, but some of the hits the other woman landed seemed to be fueled by something other than what had been there when they were practicing.
Finishing washing up and washing her hair quicker than she would if she was home, or hell even if she was at her hotel for the evening, but the arena’s locker room wasn’t the place to try and reflect what could have possibly happened Monday afternoon up until when her entrance music hit. Fans were familiar with her from her extremely brief two month run on NXT, one of the fastest if not the shortest NXT runs in history, and they actually received her really well on the main roster. The fans, the higher ups, production and the men congratulated her, which didn’t explain why she would probably be wearing more black spots than Cruella DeVille and a lot of the women were side eyeing her.
Reaching her arm out she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself, making sure it was secure before stepping out. She was wearing some shower shoes, so she grabbed her hair products and body wash then made her way out to the main locker room area. Charlotte looked up when she entered the room, but didn’t say anything; she just finished texting whoever she was texting before tossing her cellphone in her bag and exiting the room. She seen Pam glance her way then whisper something to Mercedes before she followed in Charlotte’s footsteps without a word. Amina threw her products in her duffel bag and took out her deodorant, she applied it quickly before throwing it in her bag as well before sighing.
“Ok…did I do something wrong to someone? Is this part of some hazing process?! Everyone was fine yesterday?!”
Mercedes chuckled under her breath as she took her items out of her own duffel to prepare for her own shower. She was far too busy gossiping prior to their segment. Pinning her hair up she grabbed her own shower products and towel and made her way to the shower area, that just so happened to have to pass Amina to get to.
“Yeah, everyone was probably fine before they knew you liked to sleep your way to the top. I don’t knock annnnnnyones hustle but…...no one is going to like the snobby brat that gets shit handed to her. And a little word of advice? Keep your legs closed to married men…” Mercedes smirked before using her shoulder to knock into Amina as she finished her walk to the showers.
Amina’s mouth fell open in shock. She glanced around the room, it was silent. The only one left in the room that she knew was Natalya, and her look was one of pity. Making her way over to the much younger girl, a slight frown on her face; she wrapped her arms around Amina.
“Try not to let it get to you. Some women just do not get along with certain other women. Sometimes its ‘cause they are a threat, or some real reason. Other times, unfortunately you can just exist and that will bother someone.” She pulled away and lowered her voice, whispering the last part. “Plus I think she has a thing for Josh…” Natalya finished, giving Amina a comforting shoulder squeeze and walking back over to her stuff.
Giving the room one more glance; no one daring to raise their eyes to her. Amina put on some lotion before slipping a thong and leggings on. Putting on a sports bra and zip-up hoodie, she took off her shower shoes and through on some Nike slides. Grabbing her duffle bag, she made a beeline out of the Arena. She heard a little shuffling right outside the door.
“I tried to catch you right after yo’ segment, but you must’a been bookin’ it to the locker room.”
Amina jumped at hearing Josh’s voice. She glanced at him for a second, she almost answered but then she realized that her frustrations and the entire problem….was him.
“What are you still doin’ here? Don’t you got a crew or somethin’ you travel wit’?” Amina said lowly making her way over to her rental that was thankfully tucked away in the talent parking underneath the arena, she did not need fans thinking the same things her co-workers were, or worse knowing that she did indeed sleep with a married man.
Josh moved to walk next to her, grabbing her duffle bag off her arm. She was about to protest but she didn’t want to make a scene, there were after all some crew members and other superstars down here. Luckily for her they weren’t any of those looking at her like a jezebel.
“Yeah, normally I travel wit’da fam but I wanted to catch up wit’chu…and I realize you ain’t even give ya boy ya number.”
“Oh…” she responded quietly.
They stopped when they made it to the Dodge Charger she had rented, popping open the trunk, she watched him put her bag in the trunk…but also his. She was about say something when he started talking first.
“We can stop at like two or three in the mornin’…if we do that we can wake up and only have to drive an hour or two after check out before we can check in at the next city…plus that will give us plenty of time to talk about why the girl I’m talkin’ to now is all short and dry when she was bubbly and talkative last night and this afternoon when I left her…”
He said it with a somewhat joking tone, but Amina knew without a doubt he was far from joking. Josh took the car keys from her shocked hands and went to open the passenger door for her. She looked at him and he gestured for her to get in, which she obliged before he shut the door after she climbed in. He jogged around to the driver's side and hopped in himself, waiting for them both to put on their seatbelts before starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot.
₊˚ ‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵˚₊
The two were silent until they hit the interstate. Amina didn’t know what to say to him, she wanted to go off, but she was too tired and too sore. The radio was the only thing heard for the first twenty minutes into their trip to the next city. A few moments after Josh’s GPS told him to get on the highway he cut the radio down.
“You good?”
Amina kissed her teeth. To her, that question was utterly stupid. She knew about wrestling; her grandfather enjoyed it when she was growing up. Knowledge of the sport to her, didn’t mean knowing the wrestler’s personal lives so how was she supposed to know this man was married? Yeah, he was attractive, but that did not mean she did a deep dive on every attractive man on the roster's marital status, no matter how few of them were attractive on the current rosters.
“I don’t speak in lip smacks and shit like that Amina…you gon’ need to use your words…closed mouths don’t get fed”
“Like you used your words to tell me you were married…not dating…MARRIED!…Maybe I should keep things closed…your little friend Mercedes made me aware that I should keep my legs closed to married men and not sleep my way to the top!” Amina started to fume as she angled her body to face him.
It was now Josh’s turn to smack his teeth. His knuckles on his left hand started to turn white as he gripped the steering wheel tighter.
“I don’t speak in lip smacks and shit like that Joshua…you gon’ need to use your words…” Amina mimicked him.
Josh didn’t say anything, he just nodded his head silently. The silence was becoming too much for Amina, and if he wasn’t going to explain himself, she would just cut her losses and go about her life with most of the people she seen daily disliking her. She could go to everyone that gave her a dirty look and explain that she didn’t know, but what would be the point…if they didn’t dislike her for thinking she was a home wrecker they would find something else to condemn her for. Leaning forward she turned the radio up, this would be a long little trip but once it was over they could go their separate ways.
There was a rest stop that was coming up and Josh took the turn off for it at the last second, causing Amina to hold onto the door.
“Man makes me a whore and wanna drive frivolously….”
“Cut that shit the fuck out…”
She wasn’t sure if it was the tone, or the overall seriousness of his posture…but she cut that shit the fuck out. Josh parked in an area that was farthest away from the actual building and took his seatbelt off, angling his body towards her.
“She said that shit to you?”
Of all the things he chose to comment on, it was the fact of what Mercedes said not what he had done.
“Does it fuckin’ matter that she said the shit to me?! YOU didn’t…”
“I ain’t say that dumbass shit to you ‘cause I know you ain’t fuckin’ yo’ way to the top… and you ain’t open yo’ legs to a married man. Well… not technically.”
“Pfft” Amina crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
Josh licked his lips and reached over the center console and knocked her arms loose.
“I’m fa’ real…I… well…I’m not divorced yet, but I’m separated. And yo ass talented as fuck… me and Big Uce was watchin’ some of yo’ matches at NXT…shit even watched yo’ college highlight reel. Hell, yo ass might got us beat on some of the shit yo’ lil ass can do. I don’t know what the hell her issue is, i caught the segment just as you made it to the ring, she probably was mad you cooked her ass. I even heard folks talkin’ bout you dawg walked her on the mic. So, you got mic skills this early in yo’ career too? You ‘bout to be pressure. Hell… I might have to get in bed wit’chu to get some tv time in a minute.” He joked, noticing her face still lacked any and all amusement. Amina rolled her eyes again and turned her head to look forward and out the front windshield. He reached over to firmly grabbed her chin, turning her to face him again gently. “Maaaan look at me when I’m talkin’ to you and fix ya face. I’m fa’ real. You don’t need me to push you no where… you goin’ places. But on the real…my marriage been over. It’s just…I guess we then got into a co-parenting routine and since we don’t live together, I ain’t press for a divorce. Plus, our sons is young, she ain’t even move out right away. I got a lil’ spot in Florida from back when we was doin’ the thunderdome, so I stayed there a little more. But now she found her a new crib and we explained to the boys somewhat. Man my family don’t even know for real, just Jon, Joe, and Joseph…not even Trin know right now. I’m private, don’t none of them people in there that I don’t talk to like dat know about all dat…”
He let her chin go when her face softened. Amina wanted to believe him, but in all honesty, she didn’t know him well enough to know if he was a liar. In her gut, she felt like he wouldn’t lie about that. Josh could tell by the look on her face she was conflicted.
“Look…we was vibin’. We had good conversation. You like a lot of shit that I do. You like sports, and….hell you interested in wrestling. And all that shit is important to me at this point in my life. I…I can’t offer you a relationship. Cause I don’t even know if I’ll ever want that again at this point. I don’t require much personally, but my lifestyle so different most won’t understand; you gon’ learn this shit ain’t for the weak. But, if you cool wit’ it… I want us to be able to kick it.”
“…I…I mean I guess we can kick it….not like I have many friend options now, I probably wouldn’t have anyways…besides….we just kickin’ it…it’s not like we gonna repeat last night where you tryna rearrange my insides.” Amina rolled her eyes again, sarcastically this time.
“You want me to talk to ‘em?…”
“Nah… it’s whatever. I’m used to it.” Amina sighed.
“You sure?”
“Yeah…I’m sure…”
“Aight… take out yo’ phone…”
“Why?” she raised her eyebrow at him.
“You know you walkin’ around wit’ a Utopia Box?” He asked, flicking his eyes between her legs than back at the well-lit building of the rest-stop.
“Thanks, I got it for my birthday…” she deadpanned. He was so random.
“Look up the best divorce lawyer in Atlanta….”
“Huh?…”
“Girl if you don’t want me to talk to ‘em… and the only thing stoppin’ me from gettin’ back in between yo’ legs is my divorce than I’m pickin’ one and I’ll call bright and early at eight on Monday mornin’…cause baby I’m a lot to handle and my sexual appetite high, so if you think you can put that good ass pussy on me and you gon’ fuck and duck me? You outta yo’ mind…respectfully. ”
Amina shoved him causing him to flinch towards the door, laughing. She side-eyed him for a minute before joining in with him in laughing. When their laughter died down his eyes got a little lower as he slowly blinked, moving in closer to her face.
“Ahmi, Can I kiss you?”
“Ahmi?” she looked at him with an expression he couldn’t decipher.
“I’on kno it’s like yo’ name but remixed…plus I’m sure you ain’t gon’ let me call you baby at work…” he smirked.
“It’s just no one has ever given me a nickname before…except my mama and my lala”
“That makes me special… and since I’m special…” he paused and licked his lips. “I’m gon’ ask again..can I kiss you?” his voice slightly huskier.
Biting her bottom lip for a second, before nodding her head slowly, he smiled closing the very short distance between them and pressed his lips softly to hers.

-Tuesday- February 14th 2022 ~
Atlanta, Georgia 
“Fuck!” Chantelle Dixon also known as Honey cried out as she finished counting all the money she had made for the night. “Five hundred?! This shit ain't enough,” she exclaimed, her voice dripping with irritation. She ran a hand through her curls, trying to shake off the disappointment in her chest. Valentine’s Day was normally a good day at the club, but this year, everyone seemed to be in a relationship or flat-out broke.  Honey scowled, stuffing the bills into her purse, not bothering to roll them.  She'd have to pull double shifts next week to make up for this disaster. Her mother was already doing doubles all week at the diner to make ends meet, and Honey had promised herself she wouldn't let her down.
“Honey! Request, room four!” a voice called out, breaking her moment of frustration. 
"Okay" she called back, irritation still present in her voice. She took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror, she forced a smile onto her face as she adjusted her sparkly top and reapplied her lip gloss. 
The walk from the dressing rooms to the private one wasn’t a long one. Honey knocked twice before entering, her practiced sultry gaze sweeping the dimly lit room. Her heart skipped a beat as she locked eyes with her client for the night. This man was FINE —caramel skin glowing under the soft light, muscles defined in a cut-off white Nike shirt. The Cuban link around his neck and wrist gleamed like a promise of something more. She prayed that this dance would give her just enough to keep the lights on for another month. 
She felt her panties dampen as he stuck his tongue out to lick his lips and the gleam of his grillz caught her attention. Honey swallowed hard, trying to regain her composure. This wasn't her first rodeo, but something about this man made her feel like a rookie all over again. She walked further into the room, hips swaying with each step as she felt his eyes on her. 
“Damn Ma’ you even prettier up close.”  He muttered licking his lips again as she walked closer to him. 
Honey felt her cheeks grow hot as his eyes roamed her body. “Thank you,” She said with a sultry smile just as the music started flowing through the room. “You don’t seem like the type to be alone on Valentine's Day.” She said just as she started gyrating her body to the music. 
“I’m usually not.” He chuckled, leaning back in the chair and getting comfortable, legs spreading open, so if she wanted to, she had room to dance up close. “This year jus’ a lil’ different” 
“Well, that's good for me right?” Honey winked, as she slid her hands up her body, keeping her eyes locked on his as she reached her clothed breast. Josh felt his mouth dry up as Honey started to toy with the silver buckle that held her top closed. “I get to have you all to myself.” He groaned as she finally undid the clasp and her breast spilled out. 
“Fuck” She heard him whisper and it made her smirk. Honey bit her lip and turned her back to him, rolling her hips in slow, hypnotic circles.  She bent her knees a little shaking her ass in his face, before standing up straight and slowly walking over to him. Honey straddled his lap, her hips undulating to the rhythm of the music. She could feel the heat radiating from his body, his breath hot on her neck as she leaned in close. His hands hovered near her waist, not touching, but she could sense his restraint. She ran her hands up his arms, loving the way his body shivered under her touch.
. “What’s your name?” 
“Josh” He answered immediately. His eyes dropped down to her exposed breast and he licked his lips. As she continued her dance. She could feel his arousal pressing against her, and it took all her self-control not to grind down harder. This was business, after all. But something about this man made her want to blur those lines. Josh's fingers twitched, yearning to touch her.  Honey noticed his struggle and leaned in close, her lips brushing his ear. “Remember, baby, no touching,” she purred, her voice low and sultry.
Josh groaned, his head falling back against the chair. “Damn, ma. You makin’ it real hard to follow the rules.”
Honey chuckled, a sound that sent shivers down Josh's spine. She continued her dance, her body moving in perfect sync with the music. Her hands trailed down her sides, over her hips, drawing his gaze to every curve. As the song faded out, Honey stood up slowly, her eyes never leaving Josh's. She could see the desire burning in his gaze, matching the heat she felt coursing through her own body. This wasn't supposed to happen. She was a professional who was used to maintaining emotional distance from her clients. But something about Josh was different and it intrigued her. 
“That's the end of our time, baby,” she said, her voice huskier than she intended, more turned on than she had ever been during a private dance.  Josh’s eyes widened as she bent down to grab her discarded top. 
“One more dance,” he said, grabbing his wallet and taking out a couple hundreds. Honey’s eyes widened. It was way more than necessary. “Please,” he begged and Honey felt herself nodding. 
“Okay,” She whispered, dropping her top back to the floor. As the next song started to play, Honey went back to her previous position, straddling Josh’s thighs. As Honey began to move again, she felt a shift in the atmosphere. The air between them crackled with electricity, and she found herself getting lost in Josh's intense gaze. His hands, still hovering near her waist, trembled with the effort of restraint.
She quietly grabbed his hand and placed it on her waist. She would deal with the consequences from her boss later. Josh let out a choked curse as his hands came in contact with Honey’s soft skin. He brought his other hand up and gripped her hips. The music faded into the background as they lost themselves in each other. Honey's hands slid up Josh's chest, feeling the rapid beat of his heart beneath her palms. She leaned in, her forehead resting against his, their breaths mingling in the scant space between them. Somehow the dance had turned into downright dry humping. 
Honey's hips moved in slow, sensual circles, her body responding to Josh's touch in a way she'd never experienced before. She could feel the heat of his skin through the thin fabric of his shirt, his fingers digging into her flesh making her moan softly. 
“What’s yo name?” He asked and Honey knew he was asking for her real name. 
“Chantelle.” She whispered, moaning as Josh began rocking her hips harder against his erection, biting his lip at her soft moans. 
“Chantelle,” Josh repeated softly, savoring the sound of her real name on his lips. “It suits you.” He said as he pulled her even closer, her bare breast now pressed up against his shirt. Chantelle felt herself getting lost in the moment, in the heat of Josh's touch and the intensity of his gaze. She knew she was crossing a line, but she couldn't bring herself to care. She had never crossed this line before, but something about this man was different. It felt natural to be this way with him. 
Chantelle’s fingers tangled in his hair as she closed the remaining distance between them, her lips brushing against his in a feather-light kiss. Josh groaned, one hand sliding up her back to cup the nape of her neck. He deepened the kiss, his tongue teasing the seam of her lips until she opened for him. The kiss was electric, setting every nerve ending in Chantelle's body on fire. She leaned her neck to the side as she trailed kisses up and down her neck. 
“What time yo’ shift over?” 
₊˚ ‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵˚₊
“Fu-fuck” Chantelle moaned out as Josh wrapped one of his hands around her neck, pinning her to the seat as he fucked all the thoughts out of her head. This was not how she pictured her night ending, folded up in the backseat of Josh’s car, eyes crossed, mouth hung open in pleasure while he dugged her out. She had one of her hands pressed up against the door and the other one was holding onto her breast, toying with her nipple. 
Josh's grip tightened as he thrust deeper, eliciting another breathy moan from Chantelle.  “So fuckin’ wet.” He mumbled, eyes locked onto where their bodies met, loving the way her pussy swallowed his dick whole.  Chantelle choked out another moan as he let go of her leg with his other hand and brought it down to her clit, rubbing it in tight circles.  “Pussy so fuckin’ tight, so fuckin’ good. You gon come fa’ me?”  He grunted out, eyebrows furrowed together as he started pounding into her. The car was definitely rocking but neither cared, given she was the last to leave the club and no other cars were in the parking lot. 
“Yes.. oh fuck!” Chantelle's body tensed as her climax hit her full force. Stars exploded behind her eyelids as she cried out Josh's name, her body trembling beneath him. Josh growled at the feeling of her pulsing around him, He shifted his grip, sliding one hand down to Chantelle's hip for better leverage while the other remained firmly around her throat. The new angle allowed him to hit even deeper, his cock brushing against her G-spot with every stroke. 
"Fuck, you feel so good," Josh groaned, his voice husky with desire. He leaned down, capturing Chantelle's lips in a searing kiss. Their tongues danced as he continued to thrust into her, swallowing her whimpers of pleasure.
Chantelle pressed her hands against his abs trying to push him away, tears welling in her eyes at how overstimulated she felt. Josh broke the kiss and moved his lips near Chantelle’s ear,  his lips brushing against it as he whispered huskily, "You can take it, baby. I know you can." His tongue flicked out, tracing the shell of her ear. 
“J-Josh!" she cried out, as her second orgasm hit outta nowhere, her fluids gushing out, wetting up him and his seats. 
Josh's rhythm faltered as Chantelle's second orgasm washed over him, her slick heat clenching around him like a vice. He groaned, burying his face in the crook of her neck as he fought to maintain control. The scent of her skin, a mix of sweat, and her flowery perfume filled his nostrils, driving him wild.
"Fuck, Chantelle," he panted, his hips snapping forward with increased urgency. He abruptly pulled out of her and grunted and he came. Chantelle gasped at the sudden emptiness, her body still trembling from her climax. She watched through heavy-lidded eyes as Josh stroked himself to completion, his release spilling onto her stomach and breast in hot spurts. Chantelle moaned at the feeling. 
"Damn, girl," Josh murmured, running his hands through his damp mullet after their breathing had returned to normal.  He reached into the pocket of one of the chairs in the backseat and handed her a pack of baby wipes. She eyed the wipes in his hand, wondering why he had them in his car. “Whatchu looking at them like that for?” 
“You uhh.. Do this often?” She asked as she took them and wiped his release off her stomach and breast. 
“What -Nah!” He chuckled. “I have kids and they be messy as hell. Can’t get in the ride with messy ass hands.” Chantelle giggled as she sat up and began putting her clothes back on. 
“Where’re my panties?” She asked looking around the car. She cursed and she peered into the front seat and saw them torn, hanging from his rearview mirror. “Sir what the hell.”
Josh chuckled as he pulled his briefs and cargo pants back over his hips. He grabbed them out of her hand. “Souniver” He winked and she scoffed. 
“I’m not getting in a Uber with no panties.” 
“Girl. You know imma take you home. I ain’t havin’ you in no stranger’s car.” Chantelle’s eyes widened. There was no way in hell he could see where she lived. Technically he was a stranger too.
"No, no, it's cool. I can just call my friend to come get me," Chantelle said quickly, fumbling for her phone.
Josh raised an eyebrow. "At 3 AM? C'mon, be forreal. I'll drop you off, it's no trouble." 
Fuck Chantelle thought as she tried to come up with a plan. Josh got out of the back seat and stretched his body before getting the the driver's seat and starting the car. He then picked his phone up from the cup holder – where he had placed it earlier and handed it to her. 
“Put yo’ address in” Still panicking, she quickly entered the only other address she knew by heart. She handed Josh back his phone and climbed into the passenger seat. As she settled into the seat, she quickly grabbed her phone and texted her best friend. She crossed her fingers as she waited for her response. 
To Bff4L : You up?  From Bff4L : yea whats wrong?  To Bff4L: I’ll explian when I get there. 
Chantelle relaxed in her seat as Josh started driving towards her best friend's house. The car ride was anything but silent. They pretty much got to know each other in the 30-minute drive. Chantelle had learned that he was 35, had two kids, and was an athlete. Which didn’t really surprise her. It was obvious he had money. 
Chantelle told him some things about her too. She told him she was 26, she was born and raised in Atlanta, and that she was an only child. He didn’t need to know anything else.  She let out a tiny sigh of relief as he pulled onto her friend's block. 
“Thank you,” Chantelle whispered as she looked over at him. Her heart pounded in her chest as their eyes locked. Josh smiled at her. He had taken his grillz out and his smile was even more captivating without them. Chantelle felt a flutter in her stomach. 
“It’s all good Telle.” 
“Nig– Telle?” Chantelle raised an eyebrow, not sure how to feel about the new nickname.
“What? You don’t like that? How bout boo, baby, sweetheart.. I can go on.” Josh teased playfully.
Chantelle scoffed and opened the car door. “Bye Josh” She rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the smile on her face as she shut the passenger door and started walking up the driveway towards the front door. 
“Bye Boo!” 
She flipped him off making him laugh.  She opened the front door and looked back to see Josh still sitting in his car, watching her with an amused grin. She shook her head and stepped inside, closing the door behind her.
“Is he the reason why I’m up at 3 a.m.?” 
Chantelle jumped and turned to face her best friend Dejah, who was leaving the kitchen with a bottle of water. 
“Shut up, you said you were up already,” Chantelle muttered as they walked into the living room and threw themselves onto the plush couch. Chantelle sighed as she leaned back into the couch and closed her eyes. 
“Bitch! Who the fuck was that?” 
Chantelle sighed with her eyes still closed, she answered, “That was Josh. We met at Blue Diamond earlier.” Dejah hummed and Chantelle opened her eyes to look at her. “What?” 
“Y’all met at the club?” when Chantelle nodded Dejah continued. “So how did you get in his car at three in the morning?” 
Chantelle groaned and covered her face. “Don’t judge me Dejah.” 
Dejah gasped and reached over to slap Chantelle on her arm. “Chantelle Rose! Did you sleep with him?” With her face still covered, Chantelle nodded, and Dejah hit her on her arm again. “What the hell friend! Why?!” 
“I don’t know,” Chantelle muttered, dropping her hands from her face and looking at her best friend. “It’s just – something about him is just different. You know I’ve never done nothing like this before. I tried to just be professional but girl, the way he looked at me I mean.” Chantelle paused and took a deep breath. “I been striping for years and have been stared at like a piece of meat by any and every man. But the way Josh looked at me, it was like he saw through all of that. Like he was seeing the real me, you know?” 
Dejah shook her head. “You a big girl so I’m not gonna berate you. All imma say is be careful.” Dejah said as a yawn escaped her mouth. “I’m going to bed. You already know the guest room is yours” 
“Thank you,” Chantelle muttered. Dejah gave her friend a tight-lipped smile before making up way out of the living room and up the steps to her bedroom. 
With a sigh, Chantelle stood from the couch and made her way to the guest room. She took a quick shower before changing into the pajamas she left there last time. As Chantelle climbed into bed, there was only one thing on her mind.. Josh. 
Tumblr media
~ Wednesday- February 15th 2022 ~
It was around 10 am the next morning when Chantelle finally left Dejah’s house. As she was walking out the front door and to the MARTA bus stop a couple of blocks down. As she made it to the end of the driveway and semi-familiar white BMW pulled up to the curb. She paid it no mind and continued her walk to the bus stop. 
“I man, Ion mind chasing after you.” Chantelle stopped dead in her tracks and turned around to see Josh smiling at her as he leaned over to yell out the passenger window. 
"What are you doing here?" she asked, walking back towards the car, trying to keep her voice casual despite the flutter in her stomach.
Josh shrugged, his grin widening. “I came to see if you wanted to go to breakfast”  
Chantelle’s heart skipped a beat. He came to see me she thought as a smile crossed her face. She nodded and grabbed the handle of the car door, opening it. “I would love to.” 
₊˚ ‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵˚₊
“How you doin'? Uh, can I get triple hash browns scattered and covered? Six scrambled eggs with American cheese, two chocolate chip waffles, and a lemonade.” 
Chantelle’s eyes widened as his order kept growing and growing. After he was done he looked over at her, waiting for her to order. “Damn, I thought you were ordering for the both of us.” She chuckled before turning her attention to the waitress. “Can I just get the cheese and eggs with raisin toast please, with a glass of water?” The waitress nodded before taking their menus from them and walking away to put their order in.  
Raisin Toast? Josh thought That’s what Ami– he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. She ended things with you. Stop thinking about her.  
They both lapsed into a comfortable silence, sneaking glances at each other before adverting their gazes. Chantelle felt herself blush when Josh caught her staring and smirked at her. 
“Can I just say that um, I never done.. Um, I never had uh, sex with a client before,” she admitted softly, glancing up at him through her lashes.
“I’m your client?” 
Chantelle nodded. “Yeah, you paid for a service and I provided that service, making you my client. But I don’t want you to think I’m some hoe or something, just sleeping with men who pay for dances.” 
“Telle.” Josh chuckled, cutting off her rambling. “I don’t think you a hoe. Promise” 
“Thanks,” she said softly, meeting his eyes. “I just... I don't usually do that kind of thing. There was just something about you…” She trailed off with a shrug and Josh’s smile dropped a little. He cleared his throat and sat back in his seat. 
“Look, I wanted to eat first but uh. I like you. I mean the sex was.” He paused and let out a slight chuckle. “The sex was good but I can’t go no further with you.” Chantelle’s face dropped. “I mean, I can’t give you a relationship or nothing. Like I’m always on the road and only here in the ATL for about two to three days out the week.” 
“Oh,” Chantelle said. She felt her heart sink, but she forced a small smile and nodded. "I understand," she said softly, trying to keep the disappointment out of her voice. "I appreciate your honesty."
Josh leaned forward, his gaze intense. “I don't want you to think I'm playin' you or nothin'. It's just... my life, it's complicated as hell right now and  I can't drag you into all that.”
Chantelle said nothing and Josh sighed just as the waitress came and sat their food down. Not in the mood to eat anymore, she asked the waitress for a to-go box. 
“Wait. Chantelle, you don’t have to leave.” 
“No, I think I should.” She said as she started putting her food in the container.” 
“Listen Uce, chill chill,” Josh said as she stood from the booth and started walking towards the exit. He stood too and grabbed her arm gently, stopping her from walking away from him. “We can be friends, can’t we? I-I got so much shit going on right now. I can’t be in a relationship.” 
Chantelle rolled her eyes. “Friends?” She deadpanned “You wanna be friends?” 
Josh nodded eagerly and held his hand out. “Yeah, You cool and we obviously vibe together. Leeme see ya’ phone.”  
Chantelle scrunched her face up but fished into her tote bag and handed him her phone anyway.
“Looks, here’s my number.” He said as he handed her phone back. She arched her eyebrow when she saw he had saved it under UceyJucey.  “Text me.”  
Chantelle bit her lip and nodded. “Okay.” She said just as she saw her Uber pull up in front of the restaurant. “I have to go.” 
Josh nodded. “Aight. Don’t forget to text me, Telle!” He called out to her as she was leaving the restaurant. He let out a loud sigh as he sat back down in the booth. He placed both his elbows on the table and placed his head in his hands. “Fuck.” He muttered and grabbed his phone out of his pocket, calling the one person who he knew he could talk to. 
“ Uce! I was starting to think I wasn’t gon hear from yo’ ass today.” 
“Jon,” Josh muttered. Jon’s smile immediately dropped at the seriousness in Josh’s voice.   “I fucked up.”

What a week. I finally got the behated wisdom tooth removed, and tho at the moment I am in pain I am happy I finally did this. It's been bothering me for so long, I finally feel free. I won't lie to you it has kind of kicked my ass because I wasn't feeling at my best to start with so in the past few days I have just been super tired and in painTM. I cannot wait to be able to eat comfortably again. I also have a couple of study progress news. I have finished working on a couple of articles for my history of Sabaudian states class, and after checking the other additional articles I have decided I will not be working on those. They aren't mandatory and they are just context based articles I think I can work without. Then of course if while studying I realize I really need them I will work on them at that point. This leaves me with only the geographical maps as new materials for that class, and I will be focusing on that as I reread and review my notes. This means I can finally move on working for another class, and here comes the new problem. I am second guessing which other exam I want to do in January. I was very much set on working a class called "spaces and places of knowledge", but then I realized my history of political insitution class might not have exam dates in April. For some reason no dates for the exam of this class have been made public yet, so if on Monday I still can't find anything I will be emailing the professor. In case there are in fact no dates in April I will be taking my political institutions exam in January and the other class in April. You'd think thatby the middle of the first semester we'd have all the important info but nope. Anyway I am happy I am mostly done with the materials for a class, and I am quite confident I can take two exams without having to rush at the very end.

Amina (An Emperor Geta fanfiction) One-shot 🏛️⚡️⚔️🌸
Tumblr media
"No! Don't take them! Take me instead, Imperator Geta…" Her voice faded in a fearfully soft note, echoing throughout the senatorial chamber of the palace. "Imperator Caracalla… you may take me as a captive."
"She doesn't mean that, Your Highnesses…" Marcus Acacius begged for his daughter's life with the two deranged co-emperors, feeling the silent presence of his wife Lucilla at his side, her eyes watching the teenage girl offer herself so selflessly in the midst of their betrayal.
"Silence, all of you!" Emperor Caracalla shouted, his white sleeping tunic slipping off his pale shoulder in his manic movements as he grabbed a sword from one of the nearby guards and lunged toward Acacius and Lucilla. "Slaughter him! And crucify her!"
Geta had the quick reflex of dealing with Caracalla's mood swings, the younger twin's brain slowly being eaten away by the disease simultaneously spreading through his loins… he grabbed Caracalla and held him back as the young girl stood in between her father and stepmother.
He allowed two of the guards to restrain Caracalla, the ill man catching his breath and slowly beginning to calm down. "Brother… what could this girl have to offer us? These traitors need to be punished!"
Geta tightened the sash of his dressing gown around his waist, his dark eyes locked on the youthful girl standing straight as an arrow, her head held high as her own eyes bravely met his… the emperor searching for any sign of fear or hesitation in her pleading to sacrifice herself for her family.
She forced herself not to back away from the tall flame-haired man with the fathomless orbs as he came closer to her, his towering height looming over her petite stature causing his shadow to darken everything around her… the tips of his cold fingers came underneath her chin and she shivered from his touch, blinking away tears from her eyes.
Tears of defiance or horror, he could not decipher…
"Tell me, little blossom… what you shall forsake for your deceitful family?" Geta's voice was huskily low, a slithering nasal tone of impatience, his thumb brushing along her jawline as he held her still, tilting up her face to maintain their eye contact, the top of her head barely coming up to his shoulders in their differing heights.
She swallowed a thick, aching gulp of bile in her throat, recalling the rumors she had heard of the emperors' depravity and demented excess of using others' suffering for their amusement. "I offer you… my freedom… and my virtue… I won't try to leave and I shall stay as your prisoner… but only if you let my father and stepmother go free and unharmed."
Geta considered her words, his fingers loosening on her chin as he lowered her face back down so she looked at the marble floor. His thumb caught a tear upon her fair cheek, apple-red with the warmth of blood in her veins. "You give me your word that you will stay… for the consequences shall be dire if you try to escape… I'll shatter Rome into pieces column by column to bring you back."
She watched Geta lift his thumb to his own lips, his tongue tasting the lone diamond tear from her eye… her lips were dry as she swallowed none existent saliva down her esophagus as she imagined his threats coming to light if she dishonored their bargain…
Rome aflame with destruction and chaos…
How many people would be killed in her name if the Emperors went on a vengeful rampage to find her?
Surely her family would suffer the most…
Her father would be slaughtered in the Coliseum and her stepmother crucified, a woman truly more like a blood mother to her as her father's first wife had died birthing her eighteen years ago.
She opened her mouth to speak, her voice just steady enough to keep from shaking, forming her words in a simple cadence toward the tyrannical ruler, his eyes having not blinked since his fingers had come into contact with her skin, his black pupils dilated with emotions she was too terrified to comprehend.
"You… you have my word, Emperor Geta. I will stay and belong to you." She folded her hands together in front of her stomach in a docile manner to display that she wasn't going to challenge them.
"Then our bargain is sealed." Geta spoke loudly, his voice reverberating through the chamber in an echo. "Release the General and Lady Lucilla and escort them back to their dwellings. Post more guards at every door so they don't take away what's mine."
"What?! Brother… now you'll have the whole Roman army at our door! Taking the general's daughter!" Caracalla shouted, though he was ignored as Geta had grabbed the girl's arm as she tried to reach out for her parents.
"Father! Please let me say goodbye, my Imperator! Please, I beg you!" She called out in desperation as she watched the guards block Acacius and Lucilla from getting to her for one last embrace as a family.
"No! Don't take my daughter!" Acacius bellowed a paternal borne rage as he witnessed his only child being held back in the older emperor's grasp.
"Your Grace, please! Don't make her throw her life away for our sakes!" Lucilla cried out for her stepdaughter, losing yet again another child she had loved though they were not of biological relation.
"She volunteered of her own free will to give herself to me, Lady Lucilla." Geta grasped the teenage girl around the waist to keep her from her family, his hold firm and surprisingly strong given his lithe and lanky build compared to the obviously muscular build of gladiators she had seen fighting in the Coliseum. "She'll want for nothing and her personal possessions will be brought to her chambers from your home."
"If she's harmed in any way…" Acacius' voice lowered an octave in a threatening growl, his hand reflexively reaching for a sword that wasn't there at his hip.
"As long as our agreement remains unbroken, she'll be in no danger…" Geta felt his new prisoner struggle in his arms, her energy slowly deteriorating as she was becoming exhausted from the emotional and physical toll the entire ordeal placed on her. His nose nuzzled the top of her head, his lips brushing the crown of her wild curls, his eyes meeting the enraged glare of Acacius in the mocking affection toward his daughter. "Lead them away from the palace grounds, whatever it takes. For now, it's time to give our lovely guest the welcome she deserves."
The girl had turned in his arms, her fists weakly beating on his chest as she cried and whimpered, angry with herself, her father and the whole situation she found no way out of. He ears were ringing as she barely heard her father and stepmother calling out again for her, the guards ordering them to move.
She was frozen on the spot, the blood rushing down from her head as her knees buckled…
She buried her face in her hands, truly realizing what she had given up in her haste to save her family.
Before she could fall to the ground in a feat of dizziness, her legs were swept up from underneath her, by a cold ringed hand hooking beneath her knees and two arms holding her close to a carved chest covered with a royal red dressing garb.
Emperor Geta carried her away through the dark moonlit halls of the palace and she refrained from touching him, her hands clutched together in her lap. Geta was ever the marble ivory statue come alive from stone in his build as he moved with the refined grace and effortless gait in which he walked.
Many statue busts of past Caesars mocked her with their stares as they passed through the many halls as she was laying in Geta's cradling hold.
What he lacked in physical musculature, he made up for in internal strength and cunning…
She sniffled, tiredly leaning her head on his shoulder as she inhaled the soothing scent of his bath soaps and incense.
However he yearned to give her the illusion of freedom in his home, she was still a hostage, a pawn to be used in a political game to keep leverage over the general and the queen regent. "The palace is now your home, so you may explore to your leisure. There is a garden to admire and pools for you to swim within. And anything you require, servants will attend you."
He spoke so causally as he carried her to a grand door leading to the largest bedchamber in the palace not accounting Geta and Caracella's.
"But… what will you want me for? Am I to be your concubine?" She dared ask for the specific reason for why he would want to keep her as he had been promised her virginity as well as her free will.
"We need not worry about such a matter tonight, little blossom." Geta continued to carry her as they conversed, stepping over the threshold of the door and she absorbed the grand décor of her bedchamber, a room for an empress than a general's daughter.
The emperor went toward the massive bed and slowly lowered his arms and allowed her to lay on the soft covers of the mattress, her head and shoulders sinking into the pillows as he heard her sigh out in exhaustion, a convulsing sob erupting from her throat as she looked up at her captor. "How could you not permit me to say goodbye to them… I may keep my promise to not leave, but I'll never give myself to you… not to a monster like you!"
"Oh, you will, my blossom. Not tonight or tomorrow… but you are mine. I'll have your body and your love, for that will be a greater punishment for your family than death. To see their beloved daughter as the grand jewel of the Emperor's treasure." Geta leaned above her, quickly pulling the sheets and covers over her small body in an imprisoning cocoon, the weight holding her down against the mattress and pillows should she try to slip out of bed…
The snake wrapping its coils around its prey, preparing to devour the fragile creature…
He held down her shoulders as she struggled beneath him against the pillows and she opened her mouth to cry out, however pointless the effort was as everyone would obey the Emperor's orders no matter what she said, her throat was dry as a desert, her eyes stinging with unshed tears.
"Shh… nobody's coming to your rescue, little blossom. Just accept your fate and all will be well." Geta spoke softly, leaning close as he inched toward her face and she caught her breath, seeing his regally handsome features overwhelming her full vision, creeping closer and closer as her drive to get away began to fade, her heartbeat calming in her chest.
She moaned in her fatigue, slowly becoming intoxicated with the hypnotic method in which he spoke, their noses brushing as she saw only the dark deep brown of his irises, her reflection looking back at her, vulnerable and trapped.
"What are you doing to me?" She mumbled, her tongue numb in her mouth like she was inebriated, though she hadn't consumed any alcohol.
"Quiet, sweet one. Speak no more. You must sleep as it's late in the night." His fingers stroked along her hair, brushing the strands from her face as he watched with inner glee as her eyelids began to droop, seeing her succumb to his command. "Look into my eyes and obey me…"
He pulled the silken sheets up to her chin, ensuring she was securely tucked into bed as though she were a child rather than a girl on the verge of adult womanhood.
"Forget all you knew before tonight… Acacius and Lucilla… they are no more in your memory. There's just you and me and Rome…" He stroked her cheek with the back on his fingers, careful not to scratch her fragile skin with his many rings. "Just surrender to my voice in your ears, lulling you into sleep, dreamless and calm as Somnus would see as best for your mind."
Geta watched with silent satisfaction as she still fought to remain awake, her lovely eyes glazed over in her entranced state, half-covered by her closing eyelids. His wine-coated breath brushed her lips and he yearned to wet them… his tongue licked over the rosebud shape of her mouth and he sealed her lips closed with a kiss. A small sigh emitted from her throat as her body relaxed further into the pillows, her breathing evening out as she sank deeper into slumber, the emperor still looming over her. His shadow darkened her peaceful visage and he spoke still to her, wanting to make certain she was under his influence.
The maiden Amina being offered as a martyr to the Gods and engaging Eros' affections…
"You will be bound to me forever in marriage… as my wife and my empress at my side. Every night, I'll adore and worship you in our bed and by day you'll be given everything you desire. Jewels, gowns, nourishment, flowers, books… Anything you want…" His fingertips caressed the softness of her long eyelashes as they remained still on her face, signaling that she was indeed floating in a mental abyss of darkness.
Geta then moved his fingers down the length of her small nose, then the rosy round curve of her cheeks… her moistened lips slightly open and she inhaled and exhaled, his twitching fingers moved to touch her mouth in silent intimacy and he wanted to kiss her again… leave a mark of wonder upon her feminine beauty… as a man would do upon the woman he would claim as a bride.
She was his prisoner for now… but in time he would make her learn to accept herself as a soon-to-be wife of Emperor Geta and if she said the word, he would burn it all the ground and allow her to bathe in the blood and ashes of the aftermath.
He would see her at his side, no matter what measures he had to take to possess her. Even if she would despise him for all eternity, Geta always got what he wanted in the end.
Now, she belonged to him and he would keep her with him forever, even after Rome fell at their feet and the Gods claimed them for damnation.
Geta moved to lie down beside her above the covers, whispering more hypnotic verses to keep her in the clutches of sleep, his fingers stroking her long hair pooling around her head on the large featherdown pillows. His aching fingers touching her face once again, tracing along her chin…
"It's all coming into place now, little blossom… seeing you sinking into an irresistible sleep after such torment tonight. I admire your bravery as foolishly in vain it was. But, now you've paid the price with your freedom and your unbreakable vow. I'll take your virtue on our wedding night, for you shall be my bride. In time, you will come to see it's all for the best and you will be loved and cherished in my blackened heart as I will do anything you say… except let you go. You will be pampered and nurtured as a goddess would be… but only if you stay."
She remained dutifully silent in unconsciousness, her breaths the only response in the shadows and moonlight dancing along her innocent splendor. A wide prideful smile spread across Geta's lips as he pulled her close to his chest, enfolding his arms around her in a selfish, domineering grip of sinful need, laying her head upon his pectoral where his heartbeat vibrated beneath her ear.
"For tonight, you just sleep, little one. You're mine, now and for eternity." He bestowed one more condemning kiss upon the sleeping maiden's lips, still cradling her close and determined to never release her… "For this city will burn if you leave and Rome's blood will be on your hands."
Even her dreams were no escape, his voice hissing and seething his threat in her ear despite the gentle cage of his arms around her.
Only death would be a mercy for her if she could not be free and protect her family… and the fate of Rome.
