Maddy, Clay, and the Gastons tried kidnapping Ivy once to get back at her for helping Lydia, Constantine, and Zevon.
No matter how poorly you think this went for them, it went infinitely worse. It was a horror movie in their base for three hours and now they refuse to go within one mile of Ivy's house.

Descendants Fan Cast
I’m not recasting anyone from canon, just live action casting for Wicked World & Isle Of The Lost characters! If I’ve forgotten anyone, or if there’s any interest in parent-casting, lmk because I had a lot of fun doing this! Special shoutout to @humaudrey for helping me decide between a couple of options!
Feel free to use any of these ideas if they help you! I’d appreciate credit but it’s not really necessary, but if you do use them please tag me or send me a link so that I can see what other people come up with!
I have my own collection of descendants characters ( part 1 / part 2 ) so some of my castings were based around my own collection of descendants kids (not reusing faces I used for mine & wanting them to work as siblings to some I’ve made) but without further ado, here we go!
Anthony Tremaine; son of Anastasia Tremaine ( Ross Butler )
CJ Hook; daughter of Captain Hook ( Madison Iseman )
Clay Clayton; son of Clayton ( Froy Gutierrez )
Diego De Vil; nephew to Cruella De Vil ( Justice Smith )
Freddie Facilier; daughter of Dr Facilier ( Letitia Wright )
Gaston “Trois” Legume the Third; son of Gaston ( Rudy Pankow )
Gaston Legume Junior; son of Gaston ( Joe Keery )
Ginny Gothel; daughter of Mother Gothel ( Alexa Demie )
Hadie; son of Hades ( Asher Angel )
Harold "Harry" Badun; son of Horace ( Aria Shahghasemi )
Harriet Hook; daughter of Captain Hook ( Samara Weaving )
Jade; niece to Jafar ( Fivel Stewart )
Jason "Jace" Badun; son of Jasper ( Diego Tinoco )
Jordan; daughter of the Genie ( Maitreyi Ramakrishnan )
Mad Maddy; granddaughter of Mad Madame Mim ( Peyton List )
Rick Ratcliffe; son of Governor Ratcliffe ( Noah Schnapp )
Ruby Fitzherbert; daughter of Rapunzel & Flynn Rider / Eugene Fitzherbert ( Sydney Sweeney )
Yzla; daughter of Yzma ( Isabella Gomez )

What R your headcanons about the Gaston twins from Descendants?
Uh. Well,
they‘re not actually twins. in fact, they are half-brothers that just so happened to be born on the same day. one of their mothers died & the other adopted the orphaned one. (It‘s the Bimbettes and they never disclosed who gave birth to Jr and who to Third. It doesn‘t matter. They‘re twins anyways.) they are one year older than Gil. they legally have five younger brothers and one sister, plus Lefou‘s kids. they go hunting with their dad, and are definitely his favorites. they speak french and english fluently, they mix it a lot. they help with farming and horses. and also, they‘re illiterate as fuck!
:D

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”
-Elena Woodacre, "Leonor of Navarre: The Price of Ambition", Queenship, Gender and Reputation in the Medieval and Early Modern West, 1060-1600 (Edited by Zita Eva Rohr and Lisa Benz)
#historicwomendaily#leonor of navarre#15th century#Navarrese history#my post#I mean...the crime can't be explicitly 'proven' but Leonor DID have the means motive and opportunity; she had the most to gain;#the timing was incredibly convenient for her; and most contemporaries believed she was responsible.#She *did* ultimately act against her brother [Carlos] and sister [Blanca]#Though of course the fact remains that:#1) The final responsibility lies with Juan the Faithless: he was the King; the one in power; and the one who rejected Navarre's succession#Blanca herself - while criticizing Leonor and Gaston - placed the ultimate blame on their father as her 'principal...destructor'#All three siblings were reacting to an unconventional disruption in the system caused by Juan & their actions should be judged accordingly.#2) I am hesitant to believe accusations of 'poison' as a cause of murder given how that was commonly used to slander controversial women#and given how it contributed to the dichotomy of Blanca as a tragic beautiful heroine and Leonor as her scheming ambitious sister#3) Even if Leonor DID commit the crime (imo she was at the very least complicit in it) she is still worthy of a reassessment.#I don't think it's fair for it to define her entire identity#Because it certainly did not define her life - she lived for decades before and would live for decades after#It was on the whole one of the many series of obstacles and challenges she had to face before she succeeded in ascending the throne.#The fact that she died so soon after IS ironic but it is in equal parts tragic. And we don't know what Leonor herself felt about it:#Did she think it was a hollow victory? Or did she feel nothing but satisfaction that she died as the Queen of Navarre? We'll never know.#Whatever the case: given her circumstances the fact that she survived to wear the crown itself was an achievement#It's funny because Woodacre parallels Leonor to Richard III in terms of 'blackened' reputations for 'unproven' (...sure) crimes#(thankfully she admits Richard has been long-rehabilitated; what she doesn't bring herself to admit is that he's now over-glorified)#But I don't think this parallel works at all for the exact reasons she uses to try and reassess Leonor#Namely: Richard was the one in power. He was the King. The ultimate blame for what happened to his nephews was his own.#and moreover: Richard's actions against the Princes DID define his reign and were exactly what provoked opposition to his rule.#Any so-called 'rehabilitation' that doesn't recognize and emphasize this is worthless#also if we want to get specific: the Princes were literal children who did nothing and were deposed in times of peace.#Carlos and Blanca were adults with agency and armies and Leonor's actions against them took place in the middle of a civil war#So ultimately I think Leonor's case is fundamentally very different and I don't think her comparison holds well at all

Ivy being considered a villian for being a toddler terror is wonderful (for characterization obvi)
Are there any other characters that got sent to the Isle as children (via villain classification or not)
-birb
Justice and Cora, Mischa, the LeGume twins, Mationette, and this one will surprise you- Rose and Ace were actually nearly four when they were sent to the Isle with their parents. Anthony Tremaine technically counts as Anastasia was pregnant when she was sentenced. Ivy is the only one who was sent because she had actually done something (being a toddler.)

Welcome to the 29th installment of 15 Weeks of Phantom, where I post all 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as they were first printed in Le Gaulois newspaper 115 yeas ago.
In today’s installment, we have Part III of Chapter 11, “L’enveloppe magique” (“The Magic Envelope”), and Part I of Chapter 12, “Il faut oublier le nom de « la voix d'homme »” (“You Must Forget the Name of ‘the Man’s Voice’”).
This section was first printed on Friday, 5 November, 1909.
Gaston Leroux cut “The Magic Envelope” from his novel when he prepared the First Edition for publication.
In January of 2014, I published my translation of this chapter. Mine was the first English translation of this chapter to be published.
You can read my translation of “The Magic Envelope” on my blog here.
The text of “The Magic Envelope” starts at “'And why, if you please, Monsieur Gabriel,' asked Moncharmin, 'do you not want us to inform the Commissary of Police?',” and goes to the end of the chapter, “'This cost us more than if Robert-Houdin himself had done the trick!'.”
TRANSLATION:
“And why, if you please, Monsieur Gabriel,” asked Moncharmin, “do you not want us to inform the Commissary of Police? This is a very blatant attempt at extortion, and in spite of ourselves, we now have visible proof here in our office; we might come to suspect the most honest employees of our administration, and find an accomplice in an innocent man!”
“No, no!” repeated Gabriel. “Not the Commissary of Police!”
“And why not?”
“Because: what if it is a real Phantom!”
Moncharmin made the mistake of smiling.
Gabriel planted himself in front of Moncharmin.
“Well! And then what?… What if it was a real Phantom!… There would be no outsmarting him, you know!… I saw him once, your Phantom!… Please believe me that his face is no laughing matter!”
“And what did you do when you saw him?”
“I ran for my life!”
“Well!”
“I ran away so quickly that I tumbled down an entire flight of stairs on my back… But really, I admit, you understand, I admit that it may be a false Phantom!… Well then, especially in this case, we mustn’t say anything, not to the Commissary of Police, not to anyone!”
“Why?” Moncharmin asked again, shrugging his shoulders.
“Because we would be ridiculed!”
“Gabriel is right! We would be ridiculed!” insisted Richard.
“So long as that is your opinion, I have nothing more to say,” said Moncharmin.
“This is a matter that we must resolve amongst ourselves! If it is a false Phantom, and has stolen 20,000 francs from us, we would be a laughing stock!”
“What do you think, Mercier?”
“I think like Gabriel, that we must put the 20,000 francs in the envelope. A real Phantom has no use for 20,000 francs. If the 20,000 francs are stolen, we will know that we are dealing with a false Phantom. At least, we will have more information than we do now.”
“Yes, but that will cost us 20,000 francs!” remarked Moncharmin.
“There are four of us!…” exclaimed Richard… “Four of us to keep watch over the envelope and that imbecile, Mother Giry!… I’ll wager that he won’t even touch the envelope! And if he does touch it, well, there are still four of us!…”
They arranged to meet two days later in Richard’s office, one half hour before the performance.
Richard was the first to arrive, and the first thing he saw on his desk was an envelope that was the same as the one they had found the last time, addressed to “P. of the O. — private.” This discovery in no way calmed his nerves.
Richard paced the room with the air of a lion in a cage. He swore, he stormed. He suspected everyone. He received his secretary, Rémy, who had arrived in the meantime, with such cryptically irate words, and with such incomprehensible threats against some burglar or other, that for a moment, next to this young man whose mind was well-organized and whose manners were proper, he seemed to have gone mad! Finally, Gabriel, Mercier, and Moncharmin also arrived. Richard closed the door behind them, and made sure the lock was secure. He showed them the envelope, and did not conceal the fact that he was still unaware of the means by which it had arrived in his office. And then he pulled from his pocketbook twenty banknotes of one thousand francs each — the real, authentic banknotes this time — and he placed them inside the envelope. He closed it and handed it to Moncharmin, saying:
“You are going to carry this envelope yourself to Mother Giry. You shall not give it to her until you are on the threshold of the box. Do not take your eyes off her until the moment when she enters the box. When she is inside, we three shall keep watch on her; I shall make sure of it.”
Moncharmin left with the envelope. Richard, Gabriel, and Mercier placed themselves throughout the auditorium in such a way that the envelope was, if possible, even more carefully observed the second time than it was the first. During that evening’s production, there were eight eyes fixed on the envelope. Those eight eyes saw nothing, nothing but the envelope!
After the performance, the envelope was still there where Mme Giry had placed it, on the little shelf by the armrest. When the four men had gathered around the envelope, Richard picked it up, showed that it was unopened, and said:
“Truly, our man must find another system if he wishes to come in possession of our twenty thousand francs.”
And he opened it.
He counted the banknotes. They were all there.
“The magic show is over!” he declared.
Suddenly, Moncharmin turned pale, and he said:
“Show me that…”
And he took the banknotes from Richard and glanced at them briefly:
“But these are notes of the Bank of Saint Farce!” he roared. “He has taken the good notes and replaced them with bad ones!…”
It was true:
Richard collapsed in a chair.
“This is not over,” declared Moncharmin under his breath…
All four men looked at each other in dismay.
Richard growled:
“This cost us more than if Robert-Houdin[9] himself had done the trick!”
NOTES:
[9] Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin was a 19th century French magician and conjurer. He was an inspiration for the Jewish illusionist Erik Weisz, who changed his name to Harry Houdini in honor of Robert-Houdin.
CHAPTER 12 of the Gaulois / CHAPTER 11 of the First Edition:
For anyone following along in David Coward's translation of the First Edition of Phantom of the Opera (either in paperback, or Kindle, or from another vendor -- the ISBN-13 is: 978-0199694570), the text of You Must Forget the Name of 'the Man’s Voice' starts at the beginning of the chapter, “The day after Christine vanished before Raoul’s very eyes in a sort of blinding flash…,” and goes to Christine’s line, “But I have no husband and have no intention of marrying, ever!”
NOTE: Coward translated this chapter title strangely, as “Forget the Name of the Man with the Voice.”
There are some differences between the Gaulois text and the First Edition. In this section, these include (highlighted in red above):
1) Chapter XI was printed as Chapter XII, and Chapter XII was misprinted as Chapter XIII. This numbering error was made in Chapter VII, and was not corrected, so it was propagated throughout the Gaulois publication.
2) Since Chapter XI, “The Magic Envelope,” was removed from the First Edition, there is one fewer chapter in the First Edition than in the Gaulois, and the numbering between the two editions is different from this chapter forward.
3) Compare the Gaulois text:
“dévoilé la trame” (“unveiled the plot”)
To the First Edition:
“démêlé la trame” (“unraveled the plot”)
4) L'Ange de la musique/le génie de la musique:
In this part of the Gaulois text, Mme Valérius and Raoul refer to Erik as the “le génie de la musique” (the spirit of music), whereas in the First Edition, they refer to him as “l'Ange de la musique (the Angel of Music).
5) Minor differences in punctuation.

PONT ALEXANDRE III, 1896-1900, Paris, France 🇫🇷
This deck arch bridge spans the Seine in Paris, connecting the Champs-Élysées quarter with those of the Invalides and Eiffel Tower.
The bridge is widely regarded as the most ornate bridge in the city, with its exuberant Art Nouveau lamps, cherubs, nymphs and winged horses at either end. It is named after Tsar Alexander Ill, who had concluded the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892.
It has been classified as a French monument historique since 1975.
Architects: Joseph Cassien-Bernard and Gaston Cousin.
The bridge was built by the engineers Jean Résal and Amédée Alby. It was inaugurated in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle World's Fair.
The nymph reliefs are at the centres of the arches over the Seine, memorials to the Franco-Russian Alliance. The Nymphs of the Seine has a relief of the arms of Paris, and faces the Nymphs of the Neva with the arms of Imperial Russia. They are both executed in hammered copper over forms by Georges Récipon.

My headcanon of a VK hierarchy
(Thank you wikipedia list of Disney Villains. I will be listing canon VK's that apply where necessary)
Rank 1 (Reflections) Kids of the "13 reflections of evil" (the 13 villains that are used most often in Disney's marketing). Often these are gang leaders (or at least high up in the gangs). Messing with any of them is a really, really bad idea. You're going to end up dead, or, if you're lucky, severely wounded.
Evil Queen (Evie) Chernabog Queen of Hearts Captain Hook (Harry, CJ, Harriet) Maleficent (Mal) Cruella de Vil (Carlos) Ursula (Uma) Gaston (Junior, III, Gil) Jafar (Jay) Oogie Boogie Scar Hades (Mal again, Hadie) Dr. Facilier (Freddie, Celia)
While some with strong connections to these villains (such as Diego and Jade) will be elevated higher due to this, they won't be in rank 1. They're more likely to be somewhere in rank 3 or 4.
Rank 2 (Big-name VK's) Kids of villains that might not be part of the reflections of evil, but still have big name recognition. Think of a disney villain, which ones outside of the reflections of evil are likely to come to mind first? Yeah, those are in here.
Examples, but not conclusive: Claude Frollo (Claudine) Horned King Tremaine family (Dizzy, Anthony, unnamed cousins/siblings of these two) Madam Mim (Maddy) Mother Gothel (Ginny) Prince Hans Shere Khan Yzma (Yzla, Zevon) Shan Yu
Rank 3 (Small-name VK's) The villains that are in movies but that you're not likely to name if asked for a villain, or even have to check a list for in order to remember them. I'll be listing their movie with them.
Examples, but not conclusive: Amos Slade (Fox & The Hound) The Stabbingtons (Tangled) Edgar Balthazar (Aristocats) The Ringmaster (Dumbo) (Hermie)
I truly am not in the position to give more examples in this rank since it really depends on each individual person tbh, but you get what I mean.
Rank 4 (Protected) Sidekicks, family, gang members, kids; if they are under the protection of higher ranked VK's they go here. This is where Jace and Harry Badun, as well as Reza, would fall. Possibly the Smee kids, Diego, and Jade too, but those might be able to make it into rank 3.
Rank 4 might have a hierarchy within itself, but it's not as formal as the actual isle hierarchy. For most if not all kids on the isle, this is the highest rank that one can climb to; anything higher than rank 4 is unachievable.
Rank 5 and lower Honestly, these are harder to be specific about since we don't really have any examples. These kids aren't really VK's. Their parents were sent here for crimes, yes, but they're not villains the same way the above are. Crimes can range anywhere from minor offences to murder. There is likely a rank system between them too (which is why I listed it as rank 5 and lower) depending on the crime the parents committed, but ranks 4 and up don't often bother with them unless they're recruiting (in which case the ones joining go up to rank 4)

Sinner & Saint: Creed III Chapter 9
Need to catch up? Of course you do. Masterlist HERE.
youtube
"Woke up this morning Found my peace of mind Finally, I can say to you That I, feel good this morning No, I can't deny So finally I can lay with you And feel, feel the pleasure Finally do what lovers do, with you, babe Ride for two Don't you know, oh So we (so we) can roll how we want to, yeah
Set fire to the fucking pavement They bound to drown so they can't relate And just do what I say, do what I say, no My baby got her own fuckin' ways now Tellin' y'all she ain't fuckin' playin', ay Ain't need no problems from her man I know she ain't worried (she ain't worried)"
Terrace Martin – "This Morning (feat. Arin Ray and Smino)"
She moved through the crowd like a silent wind through chimes that tinkled once she blew past. Her steps were assured, eyes laser sharp on who she needed to speak to on his behalf.
Damian watched in awe as Athena worked the packed penthouse filled with stars, sports influencers, executives, groupies, agents, managers, lawyers, and riff raff. He drank a few shots, gobbled up some hors d'oeuvres, and kept near his new boss. A few women checked him out and tried making conversation with him. He acted polite, answered very few questions about his connection to Athena and rested in the cut letting her lead everything. Feeling out of place once more, his brooding appearance seemed to attract even more women as the party continued through the night. Bianca excused herself and he realized that the penthouse they partied in was not the one Donnie and his family stayed in. Smart.
"Damian, this is Karl Gaston and Alessandro Beyna. Karl is a regional wealth advisor in the Cayman Islands and Alessandro handles investments there," Athena said.
Damian shook their hands and tried to look friendly. Athena tossed back her hair and placed a hand on his arm.
"Damian will soon be signing with my brother's company and I'll be working out some portfolio plans for him. He's going to need people that can take care of his money for future investments," Athena said.
The two white men nearly salivated listening to her. Athena had his pockets lined up with imaginary money. The two men would laugh him out of the hotel if they knew the total amount of cash he had in his paltry bank account at that moment. He rolled with her flow, keeping stoic in their presence. Business cards were exchanged with him and not Athena. She directed all the power to him turning into his conduit for all transactions in the place. Women were bolder, grabbing his attention with flirty banter and hungry stares. Nothing was subtle. He spent a moment alone with Athena in the back of the main room, until Donnie caught up with them. They took pictures together with hired photographers documenting the party for Donnie. It didn't take long for the champ to shoehorn his way between himself and Athena. She allowed it, a sly grin on her face as she joined a group of women.
"She's in her zone," Donnie said, glancing at his sister.
"Half the shit she says to the people goes over my head," Damian said.
"Wheeling and dealing."
"She's good. Knows a ton of people here."
"She'll keep the sharks away. For now, enjoy the anonymity," Donnie said.
Damian looked Donnie in the eye.
"You two a thing?" Donnie asked.
"Business partners."
Damian walked away before Donnie could flap his gums about anything else. Athena was a grown ass woman. Her baby brother wasn't about to lecture him on hooking up with her. She reached for Damian's hand and pulled him toward a young Black man with hooded eyes and a garish haircut to his permed blonde hair.
"Dame this is Raven X, stylist to the stars. I'm setting up an appointment for you two to get together back in L.A."
Raven X raked his eyes up and down Damian's physique.
"What are you looking for, Bad Boy tease or elegant showman?" Raven X said.
Athena tilted her head and squinted at Damian.
"I'm thinking future champion. I want his fits so crisp that they cut people in the eyes just by looking at him," she said.
Raven X nodded and stared at the top of Damian's head.
"Great head of hair. Formidable face. I'll give you a sexy fucking gladiator," Raven X said.
"I like it. Talk soon," Athena said.
She led Damian to the door.
"We're leaving?" he asked.
"Yep. Never be the last to leave the room. Smells of desperation."
"Where you two goin'?"
Donnie's blaring voice stopped their escape. Athena leveled her gaze at her brother.
"Damian's had a long night. He needs rest. We have meetings back in L.A. the moment we touch down," Athena said.
"When can I be looped in?"
Donnie's eyes flicked back and forth between them.
"We'll be in touch," Athena said.
She touched Damian's arm and he moved past her.
"Congratulations on everything tonight," Damian threw over his shoulder.
Donnie's expression appeared bewildered as they left the suite.
"Don't worry, I'll have terms and conditions lined up for you before we meet with my brother. You and I have to decide what trajectory you want for your career the next eighteen months."
"I just need some good fights lined up."
"You need more than that. We have to cultivate an image, create buzz with a catchy name—"
"Diamond Dame"
"What?"
"Diamond Dame is what I went by before I was in the pen."
They slipped into a private elevator and went up two floors. Athena eyed him from head to toe. She touched the collar of his shirt.
"Hmmm, Diamond Dame. With Raven's capable hands, you just might live up to that name. I like it. Classy. Rolls off the tongue."
"Yeah?" he said, moving in closer to her.
The elevator doors opened and Athena jumped back from him like water hitting hot grease. Mary Anne Creed stood in front of the opening dressed in a linen two-piece suit.
"Ma," Athena squeaked out. "Where are you going?"
"Well, Amara is fast asleep and Bianca is back in their suite. I'm free to go do a little gambling on the house. Where are you two headed?"
"We just came from Donnie's party."
Mary Anne checked her vintage diamond Cartier watch.
"It's not even midnight. Still early for his celebration to end," Mary Anne said with a lifted eyebrow.
"Damian and I have some business to discuss. I'm his new manager."
"Manager…?"
Athena gripped Damian's arm and pulled him out of the lift and away from her mother.
"Yes. Enjoy throwing money away," Athena called over her shoulder.
Damian glanced back at Donnie's adoptive mother. Mary Anne's sharp eyes cut into him despite the feigned pleasant look she tried to maintain.
Athena dug into her clutch and pulled out a keycard and tapped it against her suite. She led him to a busy-looking work station set up on the room's mahogany desk. Pushing back the executive chair, she plopped down and pointed to a side chair for him to pull up next to her. A laptop came to life from the touch of her hand and onscreen she had a detailed prospective typed up with his name all over it. She scrolled through several pages and stopped at one particular page.
"You whipped this all up today before the fight?" he asked.
"I'm always prepared to snatch up talent. This is just a mock up to give you an idea of what I can do. You don't have to sign anything now."
She tapped the enter key and a printer behind the laptop hummed to life and began printing up several sheets of paper. When the printer spit out the last page, Athena compiled them all and stapled two separate stacks. She handed him a copy and he listened to her go over every detail on ten full pages. His brain grew foggy with all the terminology, but he listened intently, trusting her completely. After forty minutes, she poured them both fresh glasses of water from the mini-bar and paced in front of him.
"Boxing needs excitement again, and they love an underdog story. The key is, they grow tired of that scenario after a few years. I think we should play up your background, but involve you back in your community. Do some volunteer work and talks at juvie facilities. See Donnie was able to coast on being our father's lost child, but he's been pampered and trained by a legend. Rocky isn't around anymore and now that my brother is retiring—"
"He's quitting?"
Athena gave a dismissive wave of her hand.
"Donnie is old news. His era is over. His mistake was calling himself Hollywood. The connotations made him seem elitist after awhile. Even when he won the championship, people still saw him as a privileged athlete, a nepo baby lucky enough to have my daddy's genes and access to the best that no one else did. With you—"
"I call myself Diamond, that's not elitist?"
"Not with your narrative. You were the lost jagged rock in the cold, cruel mine that became a diamond in the rough. A long prison bid and a hard-luck come-back story outshines a rich, spoiled pretty boy tale any day."
"Donnie didn't have it so easy before he was adopted by your mom."
"Is that what he told you?"
"He stayed in a group home, was in and out of foster care…"
The look on Athena's face made him clam up tight. She rested a soft hand on his shoulder.
"One of these days, I'm going to tell you about your little friend," she said.
"Tell me now. I have all night."
"No. Tonight, you will read over this contract, my mission statement for you, and you'll look for a contract lawyer on your own to go over my paperwork before you sign with me."
Damian rolled his eyes and pushed out of his seat realizing he wasn't getting any nookie.
"Don't pout. Business first, pleasure later," she said, pointing to the door.
He ambled out of her suite with his lips in a pout. She crossed her arms.
"I've got an amazing view of the strip. Champagne on ice…"
His words didn't move her.
"Goodnight Diamond Dame."
She closed the door in his face.
"I can't believe she gave me homework," he said, shuffling off to the elevator clutching onto precious papers that would elevate his life.
Back in his suite he placed the preliminary contract on the end of his bed and stripped out of his clothes. He showered, brushed and flossed his teeth before slipping into black satin sleep shorts. He grabbed a fresh bottle of chilled champagne from the suite's mini fridge and popped it open. A knock at his door surprised him. He put the champagne on the low table near the couch and padded over to the door, peeking through the keyhole. He grinned.
Opening the door he gave Athena a wide smile. She wore a thin purple overcoat and opened it for him. Underneath was a red sheer teddy that displayed everything that his mind imagined from the moment he met her.
"Hello," she purred.
She touched his chest with her index finger and pushed him back inside his suite, shutting the door behind her.
"I thought I was supposed to read over my paperwork," he teased.
"Oh you are…let's just say I'm your paperwork and I want you to enter into this contract," she said.
She dropped the coat on the floor and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You're full of surprises," he said.
"Get used to it Diamond Dame."
He lifted Athena up in his arms and kissed her while he carried her toward his sleeping area. He kicked away the contract papers and placed her on the bed. Getting on his knees he wedged himself between her open thighs and cradled her face with his hands.
"I can't believe you're real sometimes," he said.
Her eyes flicked away as her dazzling smile blessed him once more, but he held her chin forcing her to look directly at him.
"You're the best thing to happen to me in my life, Athena. That means a lot to a man like me in the situation I'm in. I don't know what you see in me to make you give me so much."
"I see a champion who deserves a second chance at the title."
"Is it just that? Or is it about besting Donnie too?"
She touched his hand and pulled it away from her face.
"Me and Donnie are a complicated pair…and yeah, spoiling his plans for you is a part of it."
"Plans for me?"
"Controlling your narrative to protect his. By keeping you from being under his thumb I can take you to the heights that no other boxer has been. I see a documentary, a tv series, fashion, and more for your future. A fallen hero returning to his roots and taking over more than just the boxing world. My father's life was cut short from reaching his full potential. I plan on taking you far Damian Anderson."
"What's in it for you?"
"Everything."
She kissed him. Her warm, wet mouth overwhelmed him into submission on his knees. Athena stole his heart as she kissed him, their tongues soft and gentle together.
He stood up when the carpet became too scratchy for his knees. His erection comically saluted her forehead. Athena laughed and hooked her fingers into his satin shorts, pulling them off and freeing his heavy dick. Dropping to her knees, she licked the tip like it was a sweet chocolate lollipop and he nearly blew his load all over his face. Goddamn she was like a gorgeous Black Barbie doll. The dreamy pin-up girl guys beat their meat to in a fantasy world they would never see become reality. Athena was a nasty girl too, spitting and slurping all over the wide head. She licked below his frenulum and the sensitive skin there had him groaning her name.
"Athena…Athena…"
She offered her tongue and Damian squeezed pre-cum there in thick rivulets. He tilted his neck and stroked under the thick ridge of his dick, watching her pucker and kiss his slit where more clear fluid spilled onto her glossy red lips. She began throating his erection with gusto, keeping her eyes on him. He wanted to nut on her face so bad, but thought it would be too rude and aggressive for their first time together. His dick became a hot and heavy saber in his hand and he was desperate to chop down the beauty before him.
"Such a pretty face," he murmured, touching her cheek.
"You want to cum on it, don't you?"
Athena's words were so seductive and her tone was so full of lust and desire that he couldn't hold back.
"Fuck…!"
They both watched his big dick throb in his hand and spurt thick creamy semen all across the bridge of her nose and all over her lips. Athena snapped her eyes shut and slanted her head back so more of his cum could drench the side of her face. Before he could apologize for nutting unexpectedly, she wrapped her lips around his meat and sucked another nut right out. His mouth became a tight line as he held her head and helped her gobble up his dick with spectacular deep throating. He had to tap out when she fondled his balls trying to milk him for more.
She swallowed and smacked her lips.
"You have a lot of cum," she said with wet sticky lips.
She stared at his dick. It was still erect and pointing at her messy face. She took off her cute teddy and waltzed to his bathroom. Two minutes later she returned with a fresh face without cum all over it. He stayed mesmerized by the bounce of her breasts and admired her amazing figure.
"My turn," she said, pushing him down on the bed.
She climbed over his body and planted her sopping wet pussy on his lips. Every lick he gave her, he stopped to look at her slippery labia and the soft pink of her pussy. He sucked on her clit like it was a delicate berry and her keening sighs let him know he was doing the job she wanted. He gripped her thighs and held her down tight, smothering his mouth against her entire vulva.
"Yes, baby, eat my pussy…oh Damian, you're eating it so good," she panted, grinding down on his fleshy lips.
She reached behind and fisted his dick while he feasted on the sweetest pussy he ever tasted in his life. The scent between her thighs was heavenly and he inserted his tongue inside of her sweet pink walls. Athena bounced on his tongue and cursed him for how good he was. He flipped her over and nestled his face between her legs, pinning them down to control her movement. She whimpered and gazed at his wide tongue slathering her vulva. He switched up and flicked the tip of his tongue against her clit and she threw an arm over her eyes, unable to watch his entire mouth do a praise dance all over her sensitive nerve endings. His tongue spelled out his name all over her labia and clit, claiming her for himself.
"Ohmigod…Damian…I'm cumming baby! You're making me cum all in your mouth…oh God!"
Her thighs snapped around his head and he hung on, keeping his thick lips pressed against her clit giving it small circles. His head and neck rocked and rolled with all of her flailing limbs on the bed. She was strong so he had to put some muscle on her to keep her from flying across the room with her orgasm. He pinched the tips of her nipples and she cursed him yet again with her thighs shaking uncontrollably.
It took a few minutes for her body to simmer back down and he made note that she was multi-orgasmic. He felt like a lucky sonofabitch.
"I was not expecting that," she huffed out. "You can go for a long time. Jesus!'
Damian raised his body up to be closer to her on the bed. She was covered in sweat and strands of her hair clung to her cheeks in damp ringlets. Brushing back her hair, Athena rolled over to lay her head against his chest. They cuddled quietly, watching the lights of the strip twinkling their seductive call to gamble and dance. When her breathing settled, they kissed and he fondled her breasts. Her eyes became glassy and her gently fingered her pussy, watching her expression to learn what she liked for research purposes. He liked nice plump titties and a tight pussy. She had both. His calloused fingers created the perfect friction she needed and he pleasured her vulva and slick walls until her pussy clenched around his two curled fingers.
"That's my good girl," he said, gazing at her beautiful face as her mouth dropped open from the intense release. "My dick will feel even better once you let me put it in this pretty pussy."
He looked at the bald shiny vulva of her Brazilian wax and his mouth watered. He'd never had a hairless pussy before. It didn't even feel real and he was captivated by the smooth slickness.
"Will you let me nut all over this pussy?"
Athena's mouth still gaped open and his words had her pussy throbbing all over his fingers.
"I'll take that as a yes," he said. "So tight and wet. Can I make a big ole mess inside of here too?"
"Oh!"
Athena almost collapsed on herself riding out her wave of pleasure.
"I know this pussy will squeeze my big dick so good."
He moved his fingers a little to extend her release and pressed his thumb into her clit hard.
"I'll smack these big nuts against that ass too…make you cum all over my balls."
She was like putty in his hands. He pulled out his fingers and licked them. God she tasted even better than before. How was that possible? He allowed her to rest while he kissed and licked her all over, sucking on her toes while he played with his dick for her. Her eyes traced every part of his body and the lust she had for it was quite evident. He felt the same way about hers. They were built for each other.
After caressing her curves and valleys, he pulled her on top of him to feel skin on skin warmth. Her hair fanned out all across his neck and he sniffed the fragrant hair oil she coated her tresses with. Jasmine and maybe rose oil mixed in.
They both fell asleep until the morning sun rose up, the light falling across their naked bodies like a cozy yellow blanket.
Athena slid down his chest and engulfed the head of his penis in wet warmth, bobbing her head while he touched her hair. He said nothing when she climbed on top of him and slid her pussy down his length unsheathed. Her eyes didn't have desire or lust in them anymore…no, something else more powerful watched him as she went up and down on him so slow that his toes curled. His dick had her pussy stretched and talking. She had his shaft shiny and bewitched and once she started gyrating around and kissing his neck, he was mentally gone. God had to be looking out for him to bring her into his life.
Damian sat up and held Athena close. They rocked together on the bed face to face, staring into each other's eyes within a protective fortress of lovemaking. The world outside had vanished and there was only bliss for them inside. He would do anything this woman asked him to do for the rest of his days on earth.
"Fuck…Athena…"
Her ass cheeks felt slippery and wet from their natural lubrication flowing so freely on his lap. He was on the verge of ejaculating.
"'Bout to cum…"
She held the nape of his neck and pressed her forehead against his.
"Cum in my pussy," she whispered into his mouth.
"You sure?"
"Please. I want to feel you cumming inside me."
He groaned and thrust up into her faster, simply luxuriating in the snug hold she had on his dick. He lifted her by her hips and spread his legs more to get deeper inside.
"Don't ever leave me, Damian," she whispered.
He bucked into her hard and clasped her back with anchoring arms as a powerful flow surged from his balls and through his dick.
"I'd never leave you, Athena…you're my woman…"
She cried out and he shouted with her as his orgasm raced after hers.
"Oh my fucking God!" he hollered into her neck as hard throbs pushed hot cum into her pussy.
His body jerked several times and she trembled in his arms. Gasping together in a tangle of arms and legs and loving words, Damian and Athena shocked their own senses with the passion of their sex. She pulled away from him and sat back on her rump. He looked at her vulva. Her inner labia were plump and spread wide. Her pink opening still had the round gaping cavern of where his dick stretched her. Some of his creamy white semen spilled out in a gush. She played with it, smearing it all over her labia and clit.
He stroked her thigh.
"You can consider all that my signature for our contract," he said.
She laughed and held her labia open for him to see the continuous running trail of cum he put in her.
"It's so warm in my pussy," she said.
He snuggled up to her and they kissed for a long time before his stomach grumbled. Damian ordered room service for them and he had everything set up after Athena showered and walked out wearing one of his clean t-shirts. A full Creole-styled breakfast with champagne and cranberry juice was eaten on the bed. There was no rush to be anywhere. Athena's family was busy doing their own thing inside their suites. They ate their fill and snuggled under the covers together, letting the air-conditioner run giving them an excuse to spoon in body heat.
By noon Damian had his dick back inside of her raw under the covers, hitting it from his side with her back pressed into him. He whispered the filthiest things in her ear and fucked her like he missed her, like she had been waiting for him to get out of prison. Athena took that dick and choked it with her pussy. He fucked her within an inch of her life like he had something to prove. Damian put it down so good that she started sobbing and begged him to fuck her harder. He had vacillated between gentle and hard lovemaking, and Athena seemed to enjoy both ways, but her tears ushered in a pistoning of his hips to give her what she wanted.
Shoving her face down on top of the covers, he kept his hand on her neck and slammed into her perky ass. His back shots kept her cheeks clapping and his balls slapping. He glanced across the room at the mirrored closet doors and locked eyes with Athena. She watched him power drill into her with the happiest expression on her face. He slapped her ass hard several times and those round brown cheeks bounced in his palm like jello.
Damian wondered if she was one of those types that liked the idea of fucking a nigga fresh out the pen. She liked the way he talked dirty to her, his aggression exciting her with those tight pussy clenches she gave him. Didn't they say good girls always liked fucking with bad boys until they married a good boy later in life once they got all that illicitness out of their system?
Nah. Athena wasn't the good boy type. She knew how to talk greasy to people using fancy big words. He witnessed that at Donnie's celebration party. Beneath her perfect society princess façade was a gangster at heart. She had a cunning ruthlessness hidden under the calm, calculated exterior. Watching her face as he clapped her cheeks he recognized what she needed in a man. Someone who could control her in bed. Make her submit. Those tears weren't just from pleasure: she cried because she found the one man who could dominate her soul.
She arched her back and he pressed his hands lower on her spine. He circled his waist and she bit the covers and clawed the sheets. He spanked her with enough force to make her head jolt forward.
"Look at me," he demanded.
She turned her head and her dewy eyes stared back at him.
"Throw my pussy on this dick."
Her eyes widened at him claiming her pussy as his. A sparkle of joy glinted off her dark irises. He smacked her left ass cheek when she didn't move fast enough. Halting his thrusts, Damian looked down at her ass.
"That wasn't a suggestion," he said.
He didn't need to raise his voice, just shifted the tone the way he did when he was in prison and another inmate wanted to bother him out in the yard just to test him. They always found out that his soft controlled timbre could be backed up with brutal force. Athena picked up on that and jiggled her backside, sliding off his dick to position herself better before sliding back on his stiffness.
"Like that?" she asked.
Damn she fucked good. How many lames had she wasted prime pussy on before him? She chewed on her bottom lip until she had the best rhythm going for him and he grunted each time her cheeks slapped against his hard body.
"Is that good for you?" she cooed.
He didn't answer and that encouraged her to show out for him to get a reaction. His balls ached to cum.
"Fuck that shit Athena…"
She wiggled and he closed his eyes.
"Bitch, I said fuck this dick."
He pushed her face down again, had her body all the way on her stomach and started pounding her in that position until she screamed into the pillow her final orgasm of the day with him. The tight rings of her pussy tugging on his dick gave him permission to flood her with another eruption of semen. He dropped onto her back gulping all the air he could to help him tumble over next to her in a weakened heap.
Athena rolled against him again and clutched onto his chest, her fingernails softly circling the hairs around his left nipple.
"We gotta take a break," he said, "I know your pussy is sore because I was wearing that thang out."
She chuckled.
"I haven't been fucked this well in a long time," she said.
"Just well?"
"We have to go a few more times to see if this was just first time luckiness, or if my back will forever be blown out by you."
"Forever?" he said, looking down at her face.
"Is this a one and done, Damian?"
The hesitation in her voice proved to him that she had met her match and didn't want it to slip through her fingers.
"No one will ever take your place, Athena. Hear me? You're my angel."
Her eyes welled up, and she cried.
"Hey…hey…baby…," he said cuddling her closer.
"You're the one thing I have in my life right now that's just all mine," she said. "I don't want to lose that."
"I ain't going nowhere. Hey…look at me…I'm here for the long haul. You're the head that turns this body. When I get into the ring again, I'm going to bring you boxing heads on a platter until I prove all of your faith in me. You're the only person who stepped out on my behalf to help me without question. From day one. I have to repay you for that."

"It's you and me against the world, Athena," he whispered into her ear as she slumbered.
