Word Count: 6.7k
|Masterlist In Bio|
Frankie and Tiia's wedding is unlike any other you've been to, and you've been to a few. You're the last of your friends to get married, if it ever happens. You're picky with your men, have high standards. It's fine. You don't mind being alone for a while. Drama and games are not in the cards for you so you won't settle for someone. But this isn't about you and your love life, or so you think.
The couple was never quite normal. Frankie coming from a Catholic upbringing and since shunning it to become his own man and follow his heart. Tiia has always been a free spirit and very much into the unknown and world around her. They make an interesting yet perfect match and their wedding is no run of the mill church ceremony with a bunch of people in pews for hours on end. No. They have quite the opposite.
For starters the wedding is outdoors, a forested area just behind the house Frankie and Tiia bought last year. It's beautiful, the trees in full bloom, greenery as far as the eye can see. There wasn't a ton of prep to be done for the ceremony, just setting up chairs and arranging flowers among the natural foliage. Orange and yellow, those are Tiia's colors. Roses, carnations, peonies, you name it. She took everything the florist could get her in those colors. Frankie didn't care, he said he would love anything she loves. There is an arch made of wood that a friend of yours specially crafted just for the happy couple. It's their wedding gift from him, as Tiia will put it in her garden after the ceremony.  
The day Tiia showed you her dress you knew that the wedding would be magical. It's non traditional of course, very Greek goddess meets fairy queen. Draped white and cream fabric, gold accents, braided embellishments. It's incredible and she looks completely stunning in it. It isn't until the day of the wedding that you see her veil, natural colored faux antlers made into a crown like setting atop her head. She is beautiful.
You find yourself on the day of the wedding getting ready and waiting for the ceremony to start. You've not been told who you are to walk with. Tiia said she didn't tell any of the bridesmaids who they're walking with because she didn't want to cause any problems. Honestly you're not sure what that means, you only know that your friend Caiti would have a problem if she was paired up with Benny because of a past relationship. You check your reflection in the small mirror decor beside the door you're meant to go out. You look fine. Good. Great actually. You twist your finger around a loose bit of hair by your temple and smooth the top of the dress that matches Tiia's flowy one. Damn good.
"You're up." Says Tiia's brother, opening the patio doors for you.
You take a deep breath, pull up the hem of your dress and step out. The plan is that you meet your groomsman at the end of the wrap around deck and you walk to the forest together. You can't help but wonder who it will be. Any of the guys would be great, you're familiar with them all. Benny? He is single currently. Will? No, his fiance is in the bridal party. Frankie's brother? Maybe but...no. Santiago. Oh Lord have mercy. If it's Santiago you're going to have to reach deep into yourself and find some inner calm. Every time the two of you are together with the crew it's like fire. It is undeniable the way you connect but you have never- shit.
At the end of the deck is Santiago. He looks insanely...tempting. You say a prayer to any force listening. Did he have to look so good? Tailored slacks, a deep blue button down, no tie and sleeve rolled up, even the watch on his wrist is sexy. Fucking hell you could just turn around and run back into the house. Demand another partner.
"Hermosa..." Santiago mutters as you approach.
"What's that?"
Santiago snaps his eyes to yours and smiles warmly. "Nothing, I was just thinking out loud." He offers his arm and you take it.
"What does that mean? Hermosa?"
He leads you carefully down the steps into the grass. "It means beautiful."
"Oh...oh!" You flush, heat rising from your chest. "Thank you."
Santiago chuckles softly and lifts your hand to kiss it. "Every woman should be told they look beautiful."
"You're a sweet talker today."
"I've had a drink or two. Frankie and I had a talk before the wedding, pre marital nerves."
"I can't imagine. I've never gotten that far into a relationship."
Santiago's eyes meet yours as you glance over to gauge his reaction. He raises his eyebrows and you raise yours. It's always like this. Silent conversations. They're louder than any words you've ever exchanged. "Are you excited for Tiia?"
"Through the roof. She hasn't shut up about Frankie since they met. I'm glad she's found her person."
"Me too." He stops as you arrive at the archway. "You never know when you'll meet the right person."
"Yeah, I guess so."
He steps away, touch lingering on your hand as he parts. "Who knows, maybe you've already met them."
You look at him and he says nothing more, just gives a little smile. He knows exactly what he's doing. Fueling the fire. That's it. This wedding, you're getting Santiago Garcia.
______________________
The entire ceremony you stared at each other and it is unlike ever before, there was no conversation in your eyes. It was just a game of who could out stare who. Until Frankie began reading his vows, then Santiago's gaze changed. It flicked between you and Frankie, soft and loving.
There were tears, actual tears when Frankie began to talk about how he felt about Tiia and their bond. All of the guys were crying, proud of their best friend to be so happy and excited to take this step in his life. But Santiago...he couldn't look away from you. You try not to look away from Tiia and Frankie, knowing they deserve your undivided attention and not Santiago. It's hard. Santiago's eyes...they're undeniable, irresistible, commanding. He is making it hard not to think about what it would be like to be in your friends shoes, or lack thereof because she is actually barefoot under that dress. What would a wedding with Santiago look like? A beautiful tailored suit, beard grown out a bit for sure, messy curls, bowtie or regular tie. Hmm. And your dress, white or blush? Formal or fun? You've never thought about your own wedding and yet here you are just-
You snap out of your dream world when the guests begin to clap, the ceremony is over. You raise your hands and clap, smiling at your friends. Santiago gestures for you to join him as the bride and groom walk back down the path. You're meant to follow after, being in the wedding party and all.
Santiago's hand slides across your lower back the moment you're in reach. You swear you can feel your skin tingle all the way up to the back of your neck. "That was incredible."
"It was a very pretty ceremony."
"Are you feeling well?"
You frown and look at him, he raises his eyebrows. "Yes? Do I look ill?"
He shakes his head. "Not in the slightest. You looked...distracted."
"Can't say I wasn't."
Santiago gives a soft knowing hum in response and nothing more. Kindling. He's throwing kindling into this fire now. The son of a bitch. No. You would never call him that. He's too good. "Ride with me?" He says and you realize you've walked together to the front of the house where everyone is parked.  
"I-...Benny."
"Benny?"
"I promised Benny I'd ride with him. I'm supposed to be his DD tonight and care for his truck should he get a little out of hand."
Santiago smiles softly. "I see. I'll meet you at the hall then?"
You nod.
He lays a hand on your cheek and presses a kiss to the opposite side. "Drive safe."
Your heart threatens to explode and you're stuck standing there like a deer in headlights. There is no way you're going to survive this wedding.
_____________________
The reception is when things really kick off, it usually is though isn't it. The reception is held at a party rental hall in town, their house not being ready for so many guests and a large dinner and dancing. You ride with Benny, having to just take a moment and figure out what your next move is with Santiago.
"You and Pope, huh?" Benny says, looking over at you. "When's that happening?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on anyone with eyes could see you two tryin’ to undress each other up there."
You stifle a noise of protest because you know that if you make a scene about it then Benny will be even nosier. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Yeah alright sweetheart." Benny laughs to himself, a quick breathy little chuckle. "If a girl looked at me like that for an hour, we'd be kicking boots in the back of this truck right now."
"You're gross Benny."
"Never said I wasn't." He grins and does a little tongue click. "Pope is a good man, the best I know. Give'em a chance."
"Sure, thanks for the pep talk Benny."
"Anytime sweetheart."
Once you arrive at the reception you immediately run into Santiago. No, literally you smack into him when you step in the doors. He seemed to be on his way outside as you were going in. His familiar spicy cologne flls your nose and your eyes cross for a moment. You know it's him before he speaks, before you see his face.
His hand comes up, steadying you with it on your back. "Easy there, honey."
Honey. Fuck. You're so fucked. "Sorry, I was just trying to go in."
"Mmm. I forgot my phone in the car, I'll be back."
"I'll be seated?" You say awkwardly.
He chuckles and steps away from you. "Go on, don't wait for me."
"I wasn't going to?" You step in and look around for your table. It should be near the front. You look for the names and sure enough there you are right next to... Santiago. "Great."
"Is something wrong?"
You jump and Will chuckles. "No, I'm fine."
"Where'd Pope go?"
"His phone."
Will nods. "Have you seen Benny?"
You shrug. "We drove together but I've no idea where he went. Check the bar?"
"I checked there, I bet he's out back." Will sighs and heads for the emergency exit door that's propped open at the far end of the building.
You take a seat and Santiago returns, sliding behind you and taking his seat next to you. The chairs are close, the table being a little small for the amount of people seated at it. You can feel Santiago's warmth, his scent filling your nose. Oh how you love that cologne. It's one of two he's worn since you met and this one just nails it right on the head. If you knew the brand you would buy it and drown yourself in it.
His hand comes down on your thigh and you feel like the world has stopped and begun to burn around you. It is absolutely no mistake, he knows what he's doing. His fingers flex against the loose fabric of the dress and it falls open a bit along the side split, exposing your skin beneath.
Will stands from the end of your table and taps his glass a few times. He is going to make a speech. Of course, it's Will and he is the best speech giver you've ever met. You try to distract yourself, wondering how many wedding speeches he has given. If you ask him he will know. If you ask him how many of anything he has or does he will know. You smile to yourself, eyes flicking to Santiago. Will is the reason any of this is happening. If he hadn't given Santiago the coordinates to the ravine with Lorea's money, Santiago would have never gone after it, never gifted the wedding fund to Tiia and Frankie.
Santiago's hand shifts and you're acutely aware of its position further up your leg, his pinky finger brushing your tender inner thigh. Should you tell him to stop? He didn't ask to touch you, and you didn't tell him yes or no. Did he need to ask though? Honestly you don't mind aside from the fact that it's driving you crazy. He must know what he is doing to you, how you feel. He has always been physically affectionate with everyone, hugging, cheek kisses, hands on arms and backs. His love language is very obviously touching.
Will begins to wrap up, and you raise your glass with everyone else to toast. Santiago grabs his glass with his non dominant hand, not letting your thigh go. "To many years of love, happiness and joy. Mr. and Mrs. Morales!"
"I'm up next." Santiago says, giving you a squeeze that makes your stomach jump.
You watch him stand and he taps his glass. You have no idea why but your heart is pounding in your chest. His ass is in perfect view, his thighs...oh his thighs. You decide to get a little retribution for the thigh touching and you lay your hand on the back of his leg, just above the bend of his knee. It's not much, just a gentle touch and nowhere near sexual. You're sure he's burning up though.
"Tiia, the day Frankie met you I knew his fate was sealed. I had not once seen my brother so engrossed in a woman than when he talked about you. When you and I finally met, and I saw that red hair of yours, I knew there was something special. Hermana, eres fuego. You have made Frankie a better man, a calmer and more gentle man. Without you I don't know where he would be." Santiago raises his glass higher. "I hope to find a love like yours someday. Cheers to new family, life and a beautiful union!"
Your hand falls from his leg as he sits down and he slides his back over your thigh. "That was a nice speech," you whisper.
"Thank you. I know it wasn't nearly as long and detailed as Will's but I tried." He swipes his thumb back and forth. "Even if I had a little bit of a distraction."
You smile and give him an innocent look.
"Malo..." He mutters softly and tears his gaze from yours to Benny who's standing at the table opposite.
You reach out and run your hand over his shoulder, settling with it on the back of his neck. Your fingers slip into the curls there and he lets out a subtle shaky breath that you don't miss for a second. Two can participate in his game of touches and you're going to play hardball.
Benny makes his speech, short but sweet and meaningful. Tom's wife is up next. Before she stands you make eye contact with Tiia. You could feel her stare before you caught it. She gives a little smirk.
"Honey, you're going to make me fall asleep." Santiago whispers, ducking his head close to you after a minute or two.
"That's not quite my goal."
He slips his hand down your inner thigh and you feel heat swell between your legs. "What is your goal?"
"What is your goal, Santiago."
"I-"
"Thank you everyone for coming and for your well wishes. It means the world to Tiia and I that we're surrounded by so much love." Frankie says and everyone cheers softly. "Let's have dinner and cake!"
"Bride or groom?" Santiago asks, close to your ear.
"H-Huh?"
"The cakes. Bride or groom's cake?" He points to the table with the two cakes on it. "I'll get you a piece."
You try to remember what kind they both are but you're drawing a blank. All you can focus on is Santiago and you feel bad. This day should be about your friends and here you are wetting your fucking pants for Santiago Garcia. Christ.
"Honey?" He purrs and your mouth falls open as he squeezes your thigh. "I'll get one of each."
"Y-yeah. "
Santiago stands and leaves the table. The lack of heat on your leg is a shock. You're still burning up but it's nowhere near as bad as when he's close. Tiia comes over and leans against your table, she grins knowingly at you.
"How's it going over here?"
"Fine? Should it not be?"
"Is he being nice?"
"Santi?"
"Santi?"
You flush and lean your head into your hand. "Santiago. Yes, he's being nice. Why? He is always a sweetheart."
Santiago returns with two plates of cake and sets them on the table. He grabs Tiia's cheek and gives her a kiss to the temple. "Hermana."
"Problema." Tiia giggles and Santiago rolls his eyes.
"I am not trouble." He takes his seat beside you and gives a pointed look at Frankie nearby laughing with Will and Benny. "Hay problema."
Tiia pushes Santiago's head and he laughs. "Frankie is not trouble! He's a good boy."
"Mmmm." Santiago says, raising his eyebrows. "Good boys don't have the most fun." He catches your gaze and winks.
"You're insufferable. Enjoy the cake, lovely." Tiia says to you and heads off to meet her new husband.
Santiago dips his fork into the slice of white and yellow frosted cake, the bride's cake, and brings it up to your lips. "Try it?"
"I can feed myself," you giggle and he bumps the frosted bit against your lips. You open and take the cake in. It's delicious and you remember now. It's an apple spiced white cake with caramel cream center.
"Good?" He asks, cutting a bit for himself. "Oh wow that's amazing."
You nod and reach for your own fork but Santiago pushes it away. "Hey-"
"I got it." He smirks, cutting a slice of the groom's cake. Chocolate with butter rum filling. "Open up."
"Give me my fork, Santiago."
He shakes his head and you reach for it. He knocks your hand away and holds your wrist loosely. "Ah, I said open up."
"Santi..."
His eyes go darker than you've ever seen and you imagine they must be lust filled to be so heavy. "Open up." He says once more, but this time with more authority.
You open your mouth obediently and he presses the fork down gently to your tongue as he slides it out. "Mmmm."
"Better than the last one?" He asks, cutting another piece and holding it up for you. You take it in as well and he smiles.
This is far too intimate. What the fuck are you doing? You're not even together, you're not dating, neither of you have explicitly said this was happening. Not to mention you're at your friend's wedding, in front of people and he's... he's driving you insane.
"Excuse me." You mutter softly, pushing away from the table and leaving a very confused Santiago behind. You head for the emergency exit and take a deep breath of the cool spring air as you step outside. You need to breathe.
___________________
Minutes tick by as you sit on the fence post that blocks a patio area from the parking lot. You figured Santiago would have come for you by now, but you didn't expect it. He's too sweet to impede upon your personal space when he knows you definitely needed it because of his actions. Footsteps behind you draw your attention away from the passing traffic on the road nearby. It's Will.
"What're you doing out here all alone?"
"Getting some fresh air."
"I can understand that." Will takes a seat next to you. "I saw you head out here earlier. I figured I'd give you a little bit before coming to check on you."
"Thanks. Am I missing anything?"
"Tiia is going to throw the bouquet soon. Do you want to catch it?"
You laugh softly to yourself. Do you want to? Do you want to be the next friend to marry? You're the only one not married besides Benny. The rest of the guests are family or friends who are married. "Maybe Benny should give it a try."
Will snorts and you laugh at the sound. "You'd need tempered steel to tie that man down. He's too wild, too free to settle down."
"Yeah, Benny is...Benny."
Will taps your arm with the back of his hand. "C'mon, let's go see who gets the bouquet."
"Alright." You slide off the fence and head back into the hall with Will.
Inside you see a crowd of people near the bride and grooms table. Tiia has her back to the crowd and you watch as she swings the bundle of flowers backwards. There is a collective gasp and you strain to see who caught the flowers.
As the crowd clears you see Santiago standing there with the bouquet. He's laughing, saying something to Frankie's aunt nearby and then he sees you. Your heart races. He gestures for you to come to him.
"Why did you-"
"For you." He holds the bouquet up and kisses your cheek. "I thought you might want them."
"Thank you. They're pretty."
"Are you okay?"
"Huh? Yeah, why- oh. When I went outside. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to just run out on you." You lick your lips and look down from his gaze. "I just needed some air."
Santiago cups your cheek. "Hey, look at me."
You look at him and it's a mistake. Your heart pounds, threatening to break through your ribs. "Yes?"  
He leans in whispers, "Did I go too far earlier?"
"The cake?"
He nods.
"It was unexpected, but no." You can feel a flush rising in your chest. "I mean you've always been affectionate but we haven't really...talked about it."
Santiago chuckles softly. "I suppose we haven't. It's always been there but we've never acknowledged it. Are you uncomfortable? I know I'm a few years older and-"
"Santiago."
"Yes?"
"We're in the middle of a wedding. Maybe we should discuss this later? More privately?" You look around at the crowd that's pretty much dispersed.
He cracks a sheepish smile and tucks a bit of hair behind your ear, gliding his fingertips along your cheek before bumping your lip with his thumb. "Mas tarde, cariña," he murmurs.
You lick your lip where he touched and he doesn't miss it, eyes snapping to your mouth. "You know that I know limited Spanish."
"I said we'll talk later." He puts his arm around you and guides you toward your table. "Let's clear the way for the married couple's first dance."
_____________________
The first dance doesn't happen right away. The removal of the garter happens first. For those unfamiliar, it's like the tossing of the bouquet but generally for the men. The husband removes his wife's garter, a thin band of fabric worn around the thigh, and tosses it to the crowd. The one who catches it is said to be the next to marry. It's a symbol of good luck.
You watch as Tiia takes a seat in a chair brought out to the center floor. She is bright pink and you can't help but laugh a little. Frankie comes around the chair, taking her hand and kissing it gently. He says something you can't make out, but Tiia smiles.
"Come on Frankie!" Benny hollers.
"Oh be quiet Benny!" Frankie quips, flipping off his friend. "Not like you want it!"
"The hell I don't!"
Everyone laughs.
Santiago's hand slides over your knee, pushing the dress aside and allowing it to fall open. He can't keep his hands off of you it seems.
Frankie kneels down and pushes Tiia's dress up to expose her legs.
Santiago's hand inches up your leg, massaging his fingertips tenderly into the soft skin. You spare him a glance and his focus seems to be on the married couple like everyone else.
Frankie leans in and grabs the garter with his teeth and the guests cheer him on. You attempt to clap but your brain is elsewhere, short circuiting on the arousal nerves between your legs.
"Do you want it?" Santiago purrs in your ear and you shiver. Why did that have to sound like such a loaded question. Do you want what? Him? The garter? His attention?
"W-what?"
"The garter."
You turn your head to look at him and reply when suddenly you're smacked in the face with something. You jump, startled by the sudden sensation, and look down at the table where the white garter is sitting on it.
Somewhere Benny is hollering wildly, and Frankie says something along the lines of how you're the lucky lady. You don't hear it really because Santiago grabs the garter and rubs it between his fingers, smiling at you playfully. His other hand is still on your leg, farther up and dangerously close to your underwear.
"I'd love to see you in this." He says, fingers flexing on your skin. "And nothing else."
"Santiago!" You whisper sharply and he leans in close.
His lips meet yours and your heart stops. The world stops. His hand leaves your thigh and slides around to your hip, the other cradles your head, angling your face for better access.
It's like years of tension have finally broken and now it's coming out like breach in a dam. You reach for him, not sure what to grab but you land on his hair and his shoulder. He deepens the kiss, tongue pushing past your lips to roll against yours. He tastes like minty gum and you can't get enough.
He grips your hips with both hands and hauls you over onto his lap. The chair creaks under the weight of two bodies. You can't care, this is a dream come true. You don't want to stop kissing him because if you do, it feels like it might never happen again.
"Baby," Santiago groans into your mouth as you roll your hips down against his lap, desperate for some release. "Baby we gotta stop."
"No," you lick into his mouth desperately and he chases your lips, biting gently to slow you down.
His hand finds your hair and grips firmly, pulling you back. "Listen to me."
You stare at him, eyes locked on to his. They're so full of promises of what's to come. He looks as wrecked as you do, you're sure. "Yes?"
He grins slowly, leaning in for a soft kiss. "God you're beautiful like this."
You try to return the kiss, chasing his lips as he pulls back but his grip in your hair is firm.
"We're still at the wedding." He says softly. "I don't think we should be grinding on each other in such a public setting."
You lean back, settling yourself back on his thighs. Reality comes creeping in, a cold rush of embarrassment rising up your spine. He's right. You're at the wedding still, everyone can see you right now. You got so caught up in the euphoria that you forgot where you were.
"Santiago, you son of a bitch." Benny says from behind you. "You finally did it."
You turn and look back while Santiago leans over to see Benny. "Go away."
"Oh I will, I'll leave you two to face suck like teenagers. I just wanted to say it's about time. How was it?"
"Benny." Santiago says warningly.
You look between the two of them. "How was the kiss?"
Benny nods.
"Good, really good? Why?"
Santiago groans.
"Do you know why we call him Pope?" Benny asks and you shake your head. "It's because he brings you closer to God when he gets his hands on you."
"Benny! Fuck off!" Santiago shouts and throws a fork on the table at him. Benny dodges the projectile and runs off laughing. "God damn menace."
You run your hand through his curls, brushing your thumb over a little spot of grays peeking through. "Is that true?"
"Is what true? The Pope thing?"
"Yeah. Is that why they call you Pope?"
Santiago smiles softly. "It is. It's stupid and childish but-"
"I like it." You slide off his lap and lean in close to his ear. "You took me closer to God with a kiss, I can only imagine what more will be like." You grab his hand and before he can respond you step back, pulling his arm up. "Dance with me?"
_____________________
You and Santiago dance for a long time, slow and sweet. After about the tenth song he kisses your temple and says he needs to take a seat, his knees are killing him. You part from him and he goes to sit with Will and Frankie who are near the bar. You turn and head to the bride and grooms table to sit with Tiia.
"Hey you," Tiia says with a playful smirk. "I thought you were gonna get eaten alive earlier."
"I'm sorry." You sink down into Frankie's chair and she laughs. "I just lost my mind for a few minutes there. Was everyone staring?"
"No, everyone got up to dance and get food from the buffett. I noticed, obviously, because I've been watching you all night."
"Creepy."
Tiia pushes your shoulder. "Oh shut up. I set you up, but I never could have guessed this outcome."
"You set me up?"
"Yeah? I picked Santiago to be your best man. I knew the two of you have had chemistry since you met. I just gave you a little nudge in the right direction." She looks smug as she takes a sip of her wine. "You're welcome."
"You're a troublemaker."
"Matchmaker, thank you."
You roll your eyes. "Maybe too good of a match maker. I sucked face while you had your first dance."
She laughs, nearly spitting out her wine. "I don't need everyone to watch me dance with my husband to validate our marriage. You're my best friend, the fact that you are just as happy on my wedding day as I am, that means the world to me. You deserve a good man, and Santiago is a very good man."
"You really aren't mad I didn't pay attention?"
"Nope, because I can guarantee you I'll be all over Frankie at your wedding."
"My wedding? Yeah we'll be in our sixties before that happens." You pick at a spot on the front of your dress, directing your focus elsewhere in hopes of ending this conversation. "No one wants to marry me."
Tiia kicks you. "Bullshit. If you asked Santiago right now to run away and get married at a little chapel in Vegas he'd say yes."
"No he wouldn't. He's not reckless."
"Yes, he is. When it comes to you there is nothing he wouldn't do."
"Whatever."
"Whatever," she says mockingly. "Do you have any idea what he has told Frankie?"
You narrow your eyes. "You're lying."
"Have I ever lied to you?"
"Once. A birthday present that I figured out."
Tiia rolls her eyes. "That doesn't count."
"Why would Frankie tell you about what he and Santiago discuss?"
"Because I'm nosey and I ask. Plus, you're my best friend and you two have obvious chemistry."
"So what did he say?"
Tiia points to Santiago as he makes his way across the room. "Why don't you ask him yourself?"
"Tiia!"
"What's my two favorite women chatting about huh?" Santiago smiles and hands you a glass.
You look down into the glass. You can't drink today, you're Benny's designated driver.
"It's non alcoholic, don't worry."
"Thank you."
"She doesn't need alcohol to get a little crazy." Tiia teases, elbowing you from her seat. "She has a better drug, right Pope?"
Santiago chuckles. "You're never going to let us live that moment down huh?"
"Never. I was surprised you didn't just take her to the bathroom."
"Tiia!" You shove her and she cackles. "God!"
"I'm teasing you. Seriously, if you guys wanna get out of here and have a little fun I'll get someone to take Benny home." Tiia looks across the way at the table where Benny is telling some animated story. "Or he can sleep on the couch at me and Frankie's house. We'll drop him off before we go to the hotel."
Santiago shakes his head. "I'm not stepping out on your wedding, and I'm sorry for the behavior earlier. It's not the right time or place."
"You two are a match. She said the same thing when she came over. I'm not mad, I'm happy you're happy." Tiia stands and walks around the table to stand before Santiago. She lays a hand on his cheek before giving it a hard pat. "Problema."
"Un poco."
"Oh no you're big trouble, not little trouble." She says and shoves his head back playfully. "Go, make my girl happy."
Santiago smiles and kisses her forehead. "You heard the lady." He offers his hand to you. "Can I take you home?"
"One more dance?"
"I think I can manage that."
You follow Santiago out onto the dancefloor, hand in his as he lays his other on your waist. A slow song comes on, one you've heard a few times on the radio but never paid much attention to.
"I'm sorry about earlier." He says softly out of nowhere.
"I'm just as much to blame."
"I just got a little ahead of myself, like Benny said, I felt like a horny teenager."
You giggle and lean your head on his shoulder. "It's been a while, and we built this tension to a boiling point. We were bound to snap someday."
Santiago runs his hand up your back and cradles your neck loosely. "Have I told you how beautiful you are tonight?"
"Yes, but I don't mind hearing it again."
He drops his head to your ear and places a little kiss on the outer shell. "You'd look even more beautiful in my bedroom."
A hot flush warms your cheeks. "Santi...cool it."
"I can't help it." He grins and you hear rather than see it. "I just want to eat you up."
"We can stay a bit longer." You kiss his throat and he lets out a quiet groan that you relish in, grinning big ear to ear against his skin. "It'll do you good to wait. You'll want it more."
_____________________
The sound of a cell phone ringing rips you from a deep sleep. It's unfamiliar, not your ringtone but shrill and annoying nonetheless. The room is bright, the sun shining through the cream colored blinds and past the sheer curtains. Everything is familiar but like you had seen it in a dream, nothing was quite the same as you remember. You sit up and look around. Yes. It's the same as last night, the lighting makes things look different is all.
"Make it stop," Santiago groans from beside you.
"I don't know where it is." You pat around the blankets, trying to find the source of noise. "It's your phone."
"Fuck." He sits up and you get a full view of his strong, bare back in the bright daylight. There are a few scars, but one big one just behind his shoulder gets your attention. It looks strange, like a paint splatter of pink skin against his tan complexion.
You reach out to touch the scar, trace it curiously. What on Earth made a scar like that. "Santi?"
"Just a minute baby." He leans over and your hand falls to the bed. He comes back up with the phone in hand and swipes the screen to deny the call.
You lay back and he crawls under the covers beside you.
"Now, good morning." He grins, touching your nose and you sniffle. "I hope you're not too sore."
"Me?" You giggle, rolling to face him head on. "I'd be more worried about you."
Santiago chuckles. "Because of my knees?"
"Yeah and your back." You slide your hand over his shoulder and explore the scar with your fingertips. "What's this one from?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Mmhmm."
"A bullet." He takes your hand away and threads his fingers between yours. "A sniper when I was twenty seven. We were on a mission somewhere in the Ukraine. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and boom." He chuckles softly. "It went straight through. I suppose I'm lucky, they were clearly aiming for something more vital and missed."
You play with his fingers and he watches. What do you say? Sorry? Wow? You know Santiago and the guys are ex military special forces. You know they all have their scars and close call stories. You've heard the others tell them over and over but Santiago...he has always been quiet.
"It's a lot to take in." He murmurs, bringing your knuckles up to kiss.
You laugh softly, more to yourself than anything. "I broke my leg falling out of a tree once."
Santiago chuckles. "Bet that hurt." He kisses your knuckles again and lets his lips linger. "It's okay if you're not sure how to respond."
"Thank you," you mutter sheepishly.
His phone starts ringing again and he sighs. He rolls over and grabs it, bringing it back to lay between the two of you. "It's Frankie."
"Answer it."
"Should I? You don't mind?"
You shake your head. "He might need you."
Santiago swipes to answer and presses the phone to his ear. "Buenos dias pendejo."
You smile and he gives you a cheeky grin. That's a little bit of Spanish you do know. "Be nice."
He mouths a quick, 'No' before speaking again. "Why are you calling me after your wedding night? Shouldn't you and Tiia be sleeping? I didn't give you that money to wake me up at the crack of dawn when you're meant to be boarding a plane to Hawaii for your honeymoon in a few hours."
"Hawaii sounds good." You snuggle down into the blankets, imagining the warm sun on your body.
"Yes she's fine." Santiago chuckles softly. "Did you want to talk to her?"
You raise your eyebrows and he gives you a wink.
"Here you go." He passes you the phone and you press it to your ear.
"Hello?"
"Did that dick make you stupid?" Tiia asks through a laugh.
"Shut up!" You laugh, rolling over onto your back. Santiago's arm snakes across your waist and he pulls you close, face in your shoulder. "I'll hang up on you."
"Really though, did you guys have a good night? I just wanted Frankie to call and make sure you got home okay."
"Yes, we got home okay. It was a good night."
Santiago hums against your skin, biting playfully at your jaw. "It could be a better morning."
"Which one of you said I love you first?"
"Tiia."
"I know it happened."
"Goodbye Tiia, I'm hanging up now."
"Oh you-"
You toss the phone into the pillows and close your eyes. Santiago lazily kisses your neck, his short beard giving you a bit of a burn on your shoulder.
"It was me." He whispers between kisses.
"Hmm?"
"I said it first."
"You could hear her?" You shift around and lay so you're face to face agan.
He nods. “Do you remember?"
"Mmm. You said I love you, mallma?"
He presses a kiss to your lips. "It's mi alma. Do you want to know what that means?"
"Yes."
"It means, my soul." He runs a hand through your hair and brings you close for another kiss. "It's a pet name for someone you really care deeply for."
You grip his back and press your forehead to his. You give a sheepish smile. "How do you say I love you again?"
"Te amo."
"Te amo, Santiago."
He grins and chuckles softly. "We'll work on the accent."
"Good thing I have the best teacher."
"Yes you do."
"Until then," You tuck your face into his neck and he threads a hand in your hair. "I love you."
"I love you too."

I didn’t mean to fall in love with you
Chapter five
Book: Queen B - Choices (Universe)
Pairing:  Poppy Min-Sinclair x Trans!Male MC (Beck Hughes)
Genre: Canon re-write (Because I can)
Rating: Ehm... 13 years < , I mean, is not that hard, but just to be sure.
I´ll be posting this one over here because Tumblr, for some reason, thinks my secondary blog is a bot...
This is me trying to write by and for the Trans community, specially FTM community, meaning, trans guys, but I actually took the liberty to use They/them pronouns for everyone out there who´s interested (Also, the name Beck was the most neutral one I could find, trying to use the cannon Bea Hughes)
Now, about the PAIRING... I will be using choices style, kinda, because I want to give you choice at some point. If you have any comment, PLEASE BE RESPECTFULL and patient with me. This is also my first english fanfic and english is not my mother language, so... i’m sorry fo the grammar errors
CHAPTERS 
The beginning
Chapter one 
Chapter two
Chapter three
Chapter four
ONE-SHOTS 
Just a dance (Zoey x MC)
—————————————————————— 
“No.”
“What?”
“I'm not doing it.” Poppy laughed, trying to hide her anger towards them.
“Farmsville, come on…”
“I said no.”
The strawberry blonde closed her fist so hard she could almost feel the earpiece cracking.
“Honestly… This seems a little extreme. And I will never support any kind of hurtful pantomime.” Those icy eyes pierced right through her, a strength and courage radiating from them so powerful that Poppy would´ve been turned on if she wasn’t very pissed.
“Am I missing something? I thought you hated Chloe as much as we do.” Oh, right. There was Bradley. She almost forgot about him.
“As we do?” The irony in Beck’s voice was so palpable that she could see it slapping Bradley right in the face. “Has Chloe ever done anything to you that I´m not aware of, Hollywood?” Beck smiled tired, as to making fun of themselves. “Zoey was right; I shouldn't have come… “The simply mention of that girl´s name set on fire her blood to an unexpected level.
“That bitch…”
As Beck tried to walk away, Poppy intervened, full of rage.
“I didn’t think of you as one of those who´s afraid to actually do something!
And that´s where Beck stopped, as if something made click inside them. They turned around and for the first time in her life, someone’s look made her feel naked, completely exposed. The more Beck analyzed her, looking for something they only knew, the more vulnerable she felt. That moment lasted just a couple of seconds, no-one around them notice it but both of them.
“You’re right.” They finally said, reaching out for the earpiece which Poppy gave them doubting, giving out the other one to Bradley. For some strange reason she didn’t want them to participate anymore, but now they were necessary, it was too late. The operation had already begun, so she didn’t have other choice but linked her arm with theirs, walking into the dance floor.
“I´m counting on you tonight, Farmsville. Don’t disappoint me.” Once on the dancefloor, Poppy gave Beck a light shove and took a deep breath, trying desperately to erase any residue of the feeling they made her have. “You take the left side of the club. I´ll take the right. And remember, don’t let Chloe out of your sight.”  That was the last thing she told them before parting ways.
~~X~~
The thing is…
She hasn’t seen Chloe in all the fucking night.
What were the odds? Surely the stupid blonde should be in Beck's side, the very thought of it tasting bittersweet… deep down, she knew the real reason to involved Beck.
They were a good person.
The heaviness in her chest was there since the moment she found out Chloe was taking the hook. At first she was thrilled, smash enemies, that was her favorite thing, having plans, blackmailing, humiliating… that was kinda her thing, and she loved it at some point… but Chloe…
Gosh, she hated her. But the memories of them playing, laughing, crying, growing together… a big part of her really wanted to make her pay for her betrayal.
But the other one, the little, small other one… the other one begged to have her best friend back.
Maybe that’s why she didn’t stop Beck when she saw them warning Chloe, telling her she should not trust any word coming out Bradley’s mouth. Maybe that’s why that previous moment with Beck was so intimate yet personal… Yes, definitely they were more observant than she gave them credit for.
After making sure Chloe was far away and all the attention was on Bradley, Poppy walked towards Beck, her bitch mask on as always. She would rather be caught dead before admitting she needed their help to protect her from herself.
“It’s go time. Let’s make this bitch bleed.”
Her words claimed, but her actions were something else. Feeling stupid, like a child, Poppy wrapped Beck's arms around her, searching for comfort, but giving them her back. She could feel their chest behind her, their heat warming her body and their breath close to her hair. Without realizing, her fingers caressed their forearms tenderly, her eyes never looked away from the stage, where Chloe was dazzle by Bradley.
This was it. Her plan was marching flawlessly, even though the first words spoken by Bradley were… well, definitely he did not know how to improvise.
“You’re up, Farmsville. Feed him his first line.” Poppy felt Beck taking a deep breath and hugged her tightly but gentle. Their mouth hided behind her ear, and suddenly, she forgot about the purpose of all the things she was doing.
Because for one moment, Poppy felt as a regular girl, hearing sweet nothings from her significant other.
“She’s got an amazing sense of style… Seriously, she dresses like a runway model. Whatever she walks into a room, everyone turns their head.”
Her heart was beating fast, a strange warm in her chest was growing, and their lips moving closer made her snuggle even more against them, being reciprocate immediately by Beck, holding her still.
“Whenever I’m around this girl, I feel like the king of the world. Not only is she so hot, she’s also compassionate… She shines this amazing light on everyone and everything around her. People who are lucky enough to be her friend can always count on her support.”
Poppy felt the playfully smile on Beck’s mouth, that idiot, even in times like this still managed to crack some joke around.
“You’re a moron.” She whispered.
“Think you could do it better? Be my guest.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
“This might sound like a stupid question, but… do you know who I'm talking about, Chloe?”
And, as simple and quick as that, it all went down to reality. Beck broke the hug apart, walking away to the bar so quickly it actually made Poppy shivering from the sudden cold, feeling unprotected, like something was missing… someone was missing.
“Of course I do” she heard Chloe said. A weird mix between excitement and fear taking over her, while looking perfectly neutral from outside. “It’s Poppy, isn’t it? You’re talking about Poppy Min-Sinclair.”
Poppy's honey eyes went straight to Beck, who was pretending to do a toast, alone, in her behalf. She didn’t even pay attention to what was on stage. Beck admitted to her having sabotage her revenge.
And she couldn’t be more relieved about it.
She also reached for the bar, standing up next to them, neither of them looking at each other.
“Poppy, you have to understa…”
“I can’t say I'm not disappointed, but at least we got Chloe to look a little stupid up there.” Poppy interrupted them. Beck looked surprised for a second, nailing their gaze into their drink after that. “… By the way, the lines you fed Bradley were pure, vicious gold.”
“I got inspired, that’s all.” They murmured, almost ashamed.
Poppy didn’t had time to respond, because The T notification buzzed in her phone: Beck was now top nine, and, of course, herself was back on top one.
“Oh, it worked all right. I’m right back on top, where I belong.”
She couldn’t help but smile to them, a real, happy smile. She got her crown back, and the damages weren’t so bad after all. And it was thanks to Beck, they were a completely live saver. No wonder why Zoey was so eager to protect them…
Speaking of her… if she was as serious as she claims to be towards Beck, and since The T spies were already here… maybe it was time to make a really good move to prove her who's better. And she knew exactly how.
“You did your part. Now, let’s dance.”
Decided, Poppy grabbed their hand, trying to lead them out on the dance floor, but she didn’t get much. Beck was rock still, looking uncomfortable… Like with all of those girls.
“No, I… I don’t dance, Pops.” Are they really rejecting her? To her? No, she was not another stupid whatever girl, she was, again, the Queen. Nobody says no to her.
“Don’t be ridiculous, of course you do!” she said. “I’ve seen you dancing around with Wade. Don’t you try to deny it.”
“That’s different.” They defended themselves, making Poppy raise an eyebrow, challenged, before changing it to a flirty grin.
“Well… maybe I want to be different to you, too.” There it was, that precious lamb’s look she wanted so badly to see. “Just this one, tushi-face…”
Beck started walking almost right away. There it was, their soft spot for her Beck didn’t wanted to acknowledge, but it was already within them.
Not letting go their hand for a second, Poppy and Beck reached the dance floor right away to start to move to the beat in time, Beck trying… really trying to do the same.
Seriously, this dude was bad at this.
Was Zoey the answer?
No, they’re nervous, she could feel the tension in all their body. But why?
“What are you so nervous about?” She asked, feeling a little insulted.
“Paranoia.” They said.
“To what?” Beck only managed to shrug, something in their eyes was off, remembering something from… the past? Beck was afraid? Hell, what did Farmsville do to them? Poppy threw up her arms around their neck, leaning closer, trying to make him forget. “Don’t repeat this to anyone, Tushi-face, but… I needed you tonight.”
“Sounds to me like… You want me, too.” They joked, Poppy could feel the tension disappearing, nothing really to do with the conversation, but with the small petting she was doing to the hair close to Beck’s nape. “Be honest. Was this whole plan an elaborate ruse to get me on the dance floor?” Poppy smirked.
“Don’t be ridiculous, this was all about sabotaging Chloe.” She said, laughing. “Of having wanted it from the start I’d already have you.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Because I want you now, and I’m having you.” Beck expression was a poem, the surprise written all over them for a moment, processing the information.
“What are you saying, Poppy?”
“I’m a woman used to get only the best, Hughes. And once I put my eyes onto something… or someone I want, I’ll do anything to make them mine…” The sexual tension was in the air so thick it made everyone around just disappear, the sparks between they both, the way they looked at each other… full of hunger, of need… She wanted Beck, and they wanted Poppy just the same. She could feel it so clear in the way they were touching her back, delicate, yet strong, longing, like begging to the devil to stop, but not wanting to. Please, just end my misery… those eyes claimed, but their body, moving along with hers was screaming to continue, and Poppy got drunk on it, needing more… a lot more.
“Baby, you got lucky cause you're rocking with the best… And I'm greedy… so greedy” She sang whispering, stroking her nose against theirs, playfully, softly, their lips oh so close to hers she could somehow feel them tremble, the sensations intoxicating them both so badly. “I ain't talking money, I'm just physically obsessed… And I'm greedy…”
“Poppy…” They moaned and the strawberry girl couldn’t take it anymore, desperately claiming Beck’s lips with her own.
Her heart exploded.
Beck’s mouth was warm, soft, addictive. As the kiss continued, the need became more and more insufferable, she wanted all and everything. She wanted to feel these heady fireworks on each part of her skin, that tongue taking care of the flames in her body, their hot lips heating her as fire, their breath became poison and the cure at the same time, she stuck her body even closer, trying to feel theirs desperately… Never, anyone, had made her feel so much with just a kiss…
A kiss that suddenly went to a rude ending.
Beck broke apart the touch so promptly that it actually hurt inside her.
“No, I… I just can’t. I gotta go.” Beck was trembling, that was the last thing she managed to understand before being completely alone.

Worth Your While
Tumblr media
Baron threw you into the dungeon the first chance he got. He was able to grab a hold of you, secure your wrists together and lead you back to the keep while the bastard declared that the king was dead and Baron shall be the new king come morning. 
You said nothing, did nothing, felt nothing as the fucking bastard paraded the fact that the king was dead....and Baron, the self-proclaimed new king would have what is his. You wanted to fight...but your will had left you. Your mind flashed to the thoughts of watching Drew disappear. Your heart was aching in your chest, tearing at its seams. 
And as you were thrown into the dungeon, hearing Baron mock the mighty end of your husband, you willed yourself not to break down. You willed yourself to stay strong. Drew.....Drew would want you to....Drew would....want to see you fight....he would want...
Your heart lurched in your chest. Your ribs felt tight as a sob wracked through your body. It was pathetic: caught in your throat as your hot tears cascaded down your cheeks. 
Baron heard it and you heard him laugh behind you. 
“Haven’t you figured it out yet, little one?” Baron teased. His voice made you shiver even in the wake of your quiet sobs. His nickname made your stomach drop. “I’ve won. He’s gone. And you’ll....be mine.” Without having to look at him, without missing a beat, with all your defiance in your heart, with every last breath you could muster you growled.
“I’ll never be yours,” you said. Every word spat venom at him. And you turned to look at the mutt, even if your eyes were red and full of tears. Baron was smirking though. His ugly scar twisted with it. “You’ll have to kill me.” Baron snorted. 
“And what good will that do?” Baron asked you. “Perhaps, I’ll leave you hear for a while...until you come to your senses. It’s better if you just comply now though...and be my queen.” Blood roared in your ears as your defiance reached a peak and you, quickly, spat into Baron’s eye. It made the mutt step back with a growl, rubbing at his eye until it was cleared. He looked to you with disgust as you glared at him, wishing you could have the man’s neck between your hands and feel his pulse weaken beneath your palms. “I’ll leave you here for a while, bitch. Perhaps your temper will wane...if not....I’ll make other uses of you.” With that, Baron trudged out of the dungeon, leaving you alone.
You had no time to yourself to feel any other emotions other than rage, especially as you heard a shuffle of footsteps. You turned to watch as Priest pushed Finn through the dungeon. His face was stained with his own blood, one of his eyes was closed with a black eye and he looked out of it. You went to the bars to watch Priest shove the Irishman into the cell. 
“I’ve heard a lot about you Priest,” you called to the man as he closed the bars in on Finn who stumbled to the cot to sit down. “And I know you can’t trust Corbin as much as he’s entrusted you for your help. And you’d turn on him for the right price.” Priest smirked at you while his brow raised in question. He moved closer to your cell.
“And what can you offer me that he cannot while he’s in power, your Highness?” Priest teased.
“Protection,” you answered. The man looked confused. But you had something that Baron wouldn’t have; allies in many countries. 
“What makes-” Priest was about to ask before you cut him off. 
“My husband has created alliances with many kings of other countries,” you said to him. “A vast many. When word gets out that Baron has, unrightfully, taken over my husband’s position and killed him...what makes you think you’d be protected when they come to avenge what my husband had created? That you will not be a target when our allies come to aid me? Two against so many. Even if you were to escape that fate and word got out that the ‘Archer of Infamy’ had a hand in the crime of my husband’s death...you wouldn't have freedom to live in any country you wish. You will always be a criminal. And they'll hunt you like a dog until you have paid the ultimate price.” The Archer looked to be in thought for a moment, looking you over and thinking to himself. “Baron can only offer you so much protection...and I don’t know how many allies he has...but I assume it’s not as many as what my king has created. If you aid me, release me when the time is right then I promise you protection. You’d be free to travel to wherever your heart desires, free to abide your time in any brothel in any country we have allies in without fear of conviction or punishment for your crimes. I’ll even give you enough gold to live life comfortably for a while. And when the time comes that my allies rally for me and they are thinking of punishing you for your crimes, I promise as Queen of Scotland and all her people that I shall protect you and you have my honor to vouch for your life.” Priest’s eyes narrowed at you. 
“And why would you help me....when I aided in your husband’s death? Wouldn’t you want me dead just the same?” he asked you. 
“I’d rather have Baron dead,” you said to him. “You were merely his tool to use and he has used you...but soon you will no longer be of use to him except for providing him protection when he needs it, but what then? At what cost?” The man before you frowned at the thought of being used. “I see this. You were only the arrow that freed him while Baron was the one who killed my king. Priest, Baron doesn't form alliances, he creates tools. And when he’s done with them, he turns on them and cast them to the side. Unlike me. When I need you to, I want you to free me and as long as Baron dies and I don’t have to see your face again when this is all said and done, I wouldn’t care which whore you bury your face into as long as your out of my country. But you'll have your freedom and your life. Baron cant guarantee that.” The man smirked at the prospects. 
“Alright, My Queen,” the man teased. “When the time is right, I’ll free you, you pay me and I leave Scotland. I like the sound of this deal.”
“Baron dies before you get paid. Not after,” you grunted. The Archer sighed through his nose. His eye rolled in response. “Unless you’d rather die by my ally’s hands.” The man sighed once more. 
“No, I’d rather live,” he said. “But you have my word, Your Majesty.”
“Your ‘word’ means nothing to me; actions will,” you said to him. Priest gave a small nod at that. 
“Then, I shall make your gold worth it,” Priest said in finality before he left the dungeon, leaving you and Balor to the dark, wet stones. Your anger and rage and...passion were dying, being replaced with the anguish you still felt. Your fire was burning out as you swayed closer to wear Finn was laying. As rage used to be the one emotion you could feel, sadness was quickly replacing it. 
“Finn,” you called, quietly. “Finn.” The man looked at you from his good eye.
“Yes, My Queen,” Finn murmured. 
“Black...Black and Sanity, what happened to them?” you asked. You needed to know if you had people close by that you can count on. 
“A few members...have died by Priest’s hand,” Finn said to you. “Aleister and Zelina escaped, as well as Nikki. I don’t know where they had fled to. Baron had ordered men to search for them. Who knows where they can be now. If they're here in the village, they'll certainly be killed.” You nodded as you pressed your back to the cold stone of the cell. Your throat started to feel tight. You were feeling the pain and darkness of the situation clouding your mind. Hot tears flowed down your cheeks without you thinking about them as you slid down the wall, sitting. 
“He’s...gone...isn’t he?” you asked Finn, choking on your words. 
“My Queen...” Finn tried in a soothing voice. 
“Every time I close my eyes I see him falling to his death,” you whimpered. “That...that wasn’t a dream was it? My mind....my mind wouldn’t be that cruel...right?”
“My Queen,” Finn said as he moved closer to the bars that separated the two of you. 
“He’s gone...he’s gone,” you whispered over and over again. You felt Finn’s hand on your shoulder, trying to comfort you. 
“My Queen, he may-” you didn’t want to hear honeyed words of fallacy from Finn. It angered you that he even would try.
“He’s gone!” you shouted. Finn must’ve been expecting it for he didn’t jump at your tone. You couldn’t control your sobs as they wracked through your form. You hid yourself in your hands and Finn allowed you to sob and sob even as the darkness of night fell and blackened the dungeon. 
Exhaustion crept into you as time went on. From your tears and the mixture of the events that had happened in the last 12 hours...sleep cradled you to give you some sort of peace. Even if that peace wouldn’t last long. For tomorrow could bring more horrors with Baron crowning himself king...much to your demise.

SwanQueen Ficlet:  Black and White Pt 2
More reasons for Emma to drool over Regina. Also Regina shows a different side to herself.  It isn’t really edited because I typed it out at work.  It’s just sort of an idea.
Snow was going to pout forever.  Thank God Emma didn’t live with her anymore.  She could not imagine putting up with her full time right now.  She had said words that Emma had never imagined coming out of sweet Mary Margaret’s mouth.  She had covered the kidlet’s ears.  The White Court had lost the big tournament.
It had been close.  Mulan had trashed everyone in the sword fighting event.  She’d won easily.  The archery stuff had gone differently, though.  Merida Hill, the fire department’s chief, had easily beaten Snow and everyone else.  So it had gone, neck and neck all day so jousting had become the big tie breaker.  David and some other the other White Court men were all excited to compete.  Even Henry had scampered off remarking that his Mom had promised to let him play at being a squire.
Emma had never seen jousting, except for watching A Knights Tale on cable.  It looked painful.  Snow had excitedly explained the whole thing to her.  Leather and cushioned armor, padded lances, horses going slower than usual.  It still looked hella dangerous.  Emma was never going to let Henry do it.  Even full-contact football was safer then this knight shit.
They had watched, Emma wincing, and Snow politely clapping, every time two knights crashed into each other.
David was doing good.  He was knocking everyone down.  Which, Emma had gathered, was winning.
Of course the other side was doing just as well.  There was a rider in all black that was knocking just as many people over.
“I can’t believe Regina would let a teenager do that.”  Ashley remarked.  “I mean look how small they are.  No way they’re a full knight.”
“Could be a woman.  Regina had several female soldiers.  Jill maybe.”  Sean, who had been knocked out of the jousting tournament earlier, replied.”
The final match was between David and the small dark rider.  When David hit the dirt, Snow had let out a shout so loud it hurt Emma’s ears.  She hadn’t stopped bitching and whining to make sure David was okay.
They had all lined up down on the field for the “closing” ceremony.  Archie was waiting with a big trophy.
The announcers, two of the supervisors from the cannery, came over the loud speaker.
“And here to accept the victory for the Black Court is His Royal Highness, Prince Henry.”
Henry, escorted by Zelena and Maleficent, came out to the middle of the field.  He had changed clothes  Well he had changed his whole image to match the Black Court’s over-the-top gothic image.  He was wearing a black suit was a fur-lined black cape and a gold mini-crown (circlet?  man-tiara?) with black gems in it. He looked older than his years and handsome,  Like a real prince.  
“Sorry Grandma, Grandpa.  I sort of had double-duty today.”
“Wait.”  Snow all but stamped her foot on the muddy grass.  “Where’s Regina?”  
Henry blinked, confused.  “Right here, duh.”
The black knight, complete with a green and gold cloak thrown over their armor, stepped forward and took off their metal helmet and mask.
Emma almost had a heart attack.
Regina stood there, in armor.  Her hair was sweat-soaked and plastered to her head. There was a scrape on her cheek and the vein on her forehead was prominant which told Emma that she had a headache.  Despite, or maybe because, all of that Regina was beautiful.  Like an Amazon Queen who had lead her people to victory and was about to take her spoils.
 “I thought it would be more appropriate to let Henry accept the award.” Regina cocked a brow.  “I am not photo or speech ready.”
Emma just stared, open mouthed.  Regina.  Regina who wore dresses and always had a perfect manicure.  Regina who was the feme-est of femes.  Regina, who snarled her nose up at everything not-fancy.  She had just whipped countless dude’s asses with a pony and a big stick?  Emma couldn’t comprehend it.
“You-”  David cocked his head to the side.  “You didn’t compete under your coat of arms though?”  He sounded a little confused and a lot embarrassed. “Its not green.”
Regina shrugged a leather clad shoulder.  “My father’s coat of arms.”
Archie held up a microphone.  “I am pleased to announce the First Annual Black and White Tournament has been won by the Black Court.”
He handed the microphone to Henry.  Henry grinned.  
“Thank You.  I want to give a round of applause to all of the competitors today.  Black and White, we all represent Storybrooke.”  He paused for a thunderous roar of applause.
“The proceeds from today and a matching donation will be given to the Black Court’s chosen project, the Storybrooke Youth Center.  Thank you everybody for coming out and we hope to see you tonight at the ball.”
So here they were, at a way-over decorated ball room in City Hall.  Emma had no idea what kind of magic Zelena, Maleficent and Regina had used but it had  worked.  She felt like she had walked into a scene from a movie.  
THe whole town was going to ring in the new year with style. Not Emma’s style, though.  She was way not her style.  She was in a long white pageant gown with ruffles and tulle and more fluff then a dress should legally be able to have.  She felt awkward and out of place.  
Hook, dressed all in white (which she was sure Snow paid for) sidled up to her about nine o’clock.  He already smelled like rum.  
“You look beautiful, Luv.”
She wanted to puke.  She should have scooped up Henry to be her escort before Regina had lured him to the dark side.
Speaking of Henry, her Kid was surrounded by teenage girls.  His Price act and new edgy Black Court look was a hit.  
She kind of wanted to ground him for treason or something.
“Care for a dance, Luv?”
He had his one hand in his pocket, like he was holding on to something.
Emma definitely did not want to dance, or anything else, with him.
“I’m sorry, Captain.  As the victor, Emma is obligated to give the first dance to me.”
Emma turned around and felt her heart stutter and her brain flat-lined. Regina stood behind them.  Gone was the sweaty knight of earlier.  She was dressed to kill in an outfit that had to be from her Evil Queen days.  She had a black corset top and leather pants that was covered, barely, by a long black jacket that was cropped in the front and flowed to the ground in the back.  Her cleavage was partially covered (more like accentuated) by a big and fancy necklace that matched the crown on her head.  The gold made her skin glow and the rubies were the same color as her lips.Her hair was long and curled into a complicated up do with even more jewels in it. She had to be wearing boots with a killer heel because she was almost the same height as Hook.
When Emma finally regained her senses, she let out a hoarse.  “Yeah.”  She pulled in a deep breath and hoped the oxygen helped her brain reboot.  “Can’t say no to My Queen.”
Regina lead her to the dance floor with a chuckle.  
Hook stood in place, eyes wide and furious.  He knew better to fight Regina, though  Not only did she have magic, half of her posse did too and exactly none of them liked Hook.  Basically, Emma had thrown her lot in with the wrong team.  
“Thanks.”  She mumbled to Regina when they were far enough away.  “It was either this or deck him.”
They started to twirl around in what Emma was almost sure was a waltz.  Regina lead her confidently along and she followed as best she could.
“You do realize he has a ring box in his pocket.  I believe the pirate was going to ask you to be his wedded wench.”
Emma bit back a groan.  She had been afraid of that.  “Frankly I’d rather go ten round against you with the ponies and the sticks.  No padding.”
Regina laughed.  A full on threw her head back laugh.  It was better than the music, the best sound Emma could remember hearing in a long time.  Regina so rarely laughed.  
“Speaking of.”  Emma continued as she fumbled through the dance.  “How did you learn to do that?  It doesn’t seem very queeny.”
Regina smiled.  “My father.  He went behind Mother’s back and taught me when I was a teenager. I had to do more than a few practice runs to re-teach myself a few things.  It was not at all like riding a bike”
Emma literally could not imagine.
“So-”  They turned and Emma could see Snow and Hook having a heated conversation on the other side of the room.  Neither of them looked happy.  She dropped her head to Regina’s shoulder for a moment.  
“I think I’m defecting to the Black Squad next year.  You and the Kid got cooler better clothes and nobody on your team is trying to set me up with an asshole.  Between Hook and my mother I am never going to make it to midnight.”
She was totally done and over this whole Black and White bullshit.
Regina was so close, the dancing had slowed down and they were basically just swaying together now. Emma soaked in the moment, the intimacy of it all. 
Regina’s skin was hot against her own.  She smelled like apples, rain and honey. Her touch was electric and sent delicious.   Regina was intoxicating.  Like lines of cocaine on black velvet, intoxicating, addictive, an incredible high that could so easily turn into decadent and delirious destruction. If Emma let herself slip, if she took even the tiniest taste, if she gave in to temptation, she would be lost.  She knew that she would never be able to stop.  Would never want to.
Regina’s hands crawled up her back.  Emma could feel her touch burning through the material of her dress.
“Em-ma.” Regina’s voice was like whiskey and starlight and it was whispered right into Emma’s ear.
She had seen so many sides and shades of Regina, so many moments had passed between them.  This moment, with Regina’s arms wrapped around her, was her favorite.
“I would be honored to have you on my Court.  Beside me, beside our son,  Where you belong.”
Belong.  Emma hadn’t felt like she belonged anywhere, ever.  The very idea was ridiculous.  Yet.  Yet, she craved it.  She never felt more like herself than she did when she was with Regina and Henry.  They felt like home, like the living embodiment of Tallahassee.
“I-”
Emma lifted her head.  She searched Regina’s eyes.  She looked for sarcasm or spite but only saw love.  Overwhelming amounts of love.  She got lost in Regina’s beautiful eyes and the endless capacity of her heart.
“Regina.”  Emma licked her suddenly dry lips.  She had so much to say.  To confess.  She had never been good with words.She wasn’t even sure there were words for the emotions swirling inside of her.  “My Queen.”
Regina’s eyes lit up at that.  Like it was the sweetest thing she had ever heard.  Based on Regina’s checkered past, it probably was.
Emma couldn’t wait anymore.  She didn’t care where they were or who saw.  She was tired of black and white, good and evil, fighting and drawing lines.  They were in a fairytale town, at a fairytale ball and they were fairytale royalty. It was time for their Happily Ever After.
Emma leaned in and did the one thing she had been dying to do since the first time she’d seen Regina.  She kissed her. 
The floor tilted under Emma’s feet.  Angels sang in her ears. Kissing Regina was better than drugs.  Emma ran her hands through Regina’s hair and let it curl around her fingers.  Regina held her close, her nails dug into Emma’s shoulder blades.  It was perfect.
Claps and gasps invaded their little bubble of bliss.
Emma opened her eyes (when had she closed them?) and looked around.  The room was bathed in golden light.  THere were stars dancing across the ceiling and black and white pops of light, like fireworks.
There was no denying it now.  The entire town had witnessed them share their first and apparently true loves kiss.
Regina rested her forehead against hers.  
“You want to get out of here?”
As opposed to facing down the entire town and her crazy mother?  Absolutely.
“Your place or mine?”
Regina’s smirk was the only answer Emma got as they disappeared in a swirl of smoke.

Safe Haven 3/?
Co-written with @scream-qween
Pairings: Drew McIntyre/Becky Lynch, Eventually Drew McIntyre/Becky Lynch/Seth Rollins, Jon Moxley/Renee Young, Sasha Banks/Bayley/Charlotte Flair
Warnings: Violence, Language
Word Count: 1799
Summary: After an 8-year absence, 25-year-old Seth Rollins returns home to his pack but in no way resembling the Beta Werewolf that ran away after a violent misunderstanding with his brothers.
Seth is feral, and trapped in a form the bitten wolf shouldn't even be capable of, it turns out that he is the victim of a powerful curse that would make him a mindless slave.
Meanwhile Alpha Werewolf Drew McIntyre and his Part Banshee, Part Sea Witch mate Becky Lynch have joined the unorthodox pack of Haven in search of the final member of the Triad a seer told the pair they were destined to be apart of.
Taglist: @sethsevolution @feathers-and-flesh-and-wrestling @deepdisireslonging @writtingrose @pikapuff316 @hitory--chan @finnsauroraborealis @the-beastslayers-queen
Tumblr media
Becky took a step back, "What the hell is that?"
Finn sighed, closing his eyes until they returned to blue. "It's a long story"
"I got time, explain" Becky demanded, Drew stepping up next to her
Seth whimpered and licked Finn's face, causing Finn to smile, and lean down to rub his head against the wolf's.
"You know he doesn't like that story" Elias says gently
"I know" the vampire replied "Go play with Baron, Seth. Ember should be around somewhere as well."
With a huff and one last lick to the face of each vampire Seth ran off though the mansion to find his other friend, Baron following closely behind him.
"I recognize you as well, Cailleach na Mara and you are supposed to be very much dead." Finn says standing up and brushing off his black slacks before reaching down and helping his wife to her feet.
"So the hell are you cousin." Becky says with a snort
"Cousin!" Everyone exclaimed
"How…" Stephanie started to say
"I'm older then I look." Becky says easily, "MUCH older"
"You were killed by a Vampire." Becky says as if putting the pieces of a puzzle together "The clan told stories about seeing you still walking around after you'd died but…"
"Attacked by a vampire? Yes. Killed? Not so much"
"Prince Devitt did die that day, remember your memory problems?" Violet said.
"If you hadn't found me, I'd gone completely feral" Finn remised, kissing her head.
"Explain" Becky said
"I found him." Violet says "Dying. My sister attacked him and I saved him but his transition was….brutal and he lost a lot of his human memories. Balor has been slowly healing that part of his mind for well over a century"
"Now somebody explain why our child is a fully shifted wolf" Finn says
"Paul Heyman. He tried to turn Seth into...a slave for whatever reason. It didn't work out so well, but Seth's been like this for a while" Elias answered, making sure to step back.
Finn took a shaky breath, his eyes flashing between blue and red before finally settling on red. "Really Bálor?" Violet asked
"That....walrus, he tried to enslave our Puppy?" Balor roared causing everyone to wince and take a huge step back from the demon king. From somewhere in the house you could hear a howl and heavy four-legged footsteps, then from a corridor came Seth running, followed by Baron and a smaller wolf with orange-tipped black fur.
Seth, much to the discomfort of both Drew and Becky ran straight for the demon, who in a surprising show of strength caught the huge wolf.
"He's close with a demon...cool" Becky said, uneasy.
"We need to tell Shawn about this" Violet spoke up. "Tell a broken hearted fire sprite, 'Hey, the thing that killed your wife and twins? Yeah, his buddy tried to enslave your youngest nephew!' That? Is a death sentence" Eilas argues
"And it'd be better for him to find out later?" Violet asks
"I would highly suggest we save that conversation for after Seth is back in human form" Hunter says knowing his adopted brother well. "Seth is one of the few people who can keep Shawn calm, "
"We need your summoning circle and we need Balor to put one of his Shields around it, so we can turn him back" Stephanie explained to the pair, before asking Seth "How big are you now, so I can conjure you up some clothes"'
Elias looked down in surprise "Really? Finally had that growth spurt?" he smirked at the wolf before telling Stephanie "He says he's 6" 2" and kinda beefy?"
"Can finally fight me brother" Mox grinned, Seth growling playfully. Bálor set him down gently before summoning a ring of black fire around him. "How are we doing this" he gestured to Becky
Becky stepped forward and gestured to Stephanie,"Guide me through the counter-curse?"
Stephanie nodded "Are you ready, Starshine?"
"He's ready." Elias answered for the wolf
"Everyone back up, and keep that shield up Balor." Stephanie says taking the sea witch's hand and beginning to chant, her own golden magic soon being joined by Becky's ocean blue.
Stephanie began to pant with exertion as gold, blue and black magic surrounded Seth, who howled in pain
The magic flared almost all the way to the top of the high vaulted ceiling, completely obscuring the form within before finally fading and revealing a tall, tanned man with long dark, blond tipped hair and a thick beard, shivering and panting, with sharpened nails and fangs.
Stephanie magiked clothes on him before collasping into Humter's arms.
"Welcome back baby brother" Mox said.
"Glad to be back" Seth replied in a voice raspy from disuse, before he started to laugh for a few minutes until his eyes landed on Becky, who was now sitting on the floor with Drew wrapped around her from behind holding her up
Almost in a single leap Seth crossed the room and landed in front of the pair, startling them.
"Here we fucking go" Elias murmured
As soon as the pair locked eyes with the man crouched in front of them sonething…clicked.
"Son of a bitch" Drew swore. "You can only sense your mates for the first time when their in human form."
"Bingo" Elias says with a smirk, "Seth knew as soon as he was in his right mind"
Stephanie's eyes darted between her son and the newest members of their pack, "Goddess Above" she whispered "Xavier was right"
Everyone looked at the witch who was being held similarly to Becky by her own mate. "What?!" Mox says looking at his mother.
"Xavier had a vision about 3 months ago. He said we had to let the next two people who came to us for sanctuary into Haven, that they would be the key to getting Seth back. You two showed up about a week after that."
"We were told to come here to find our third" Drew muttered.
"Sorry we had to meet like this" Seth said. "With me all growly and shit"
Becky leaned forward and petted Seth's beard much like she had petted him in wolf form, Seth leaning into the touch "It's okay. You were kinda cute. Much cuter this way though"
"Anyone else notice that the redhead has a type?" Mox asks, pointing out the similarities in Drew and Seth's appearances
"All werewolves kinda look alike though" Violet argued.
"True but two mates looking like they could be related? Kinda a stretch" Mox replied
"I have to talk to Uncle Shawn" Seth said, turning to Stephanie "Mom. The twins aren't dead. Heyman has them under some kind of mind control spell. They both wear these amulets that they aren't allowed to take off for any reason. I managed to snatch Rhea's off of her when I was in wolf form and she recognized me, that's how I escaped from his compound. She blasted me out but The Beast caught up to us and Heyman put it back on her."'
Stephanie covered her mouth in shock. "Oh my god, Shawn always said he knew they were alive, but...we could never prove it" Seth hugged her tightly.
"What made Heyman target you?" Drew asked
"I'm not what I thought I was." Seth said quietly "Heyman's spell didn't work right on me...because I'm part warlock. Remember Mom? We always wondered why I was so good at seeing magic?" Seth waved his hand in the air creating a shower of silver sparks. "My birth mother was a Wolf and my birth father was a Warlock, they worked for Heyman but escaped when they found out they were gonna have me. That's why Heyman was here the day he killed Aunt Chyna and took the twins. He was looking for me"
"He will never have you again" Violet says. "You are our son, my baby." she caressed his cheek, Seth grabbing her hand.
Ember nudged Bálor, who scratched her head."You're gonna have to be careful Seth. Heyman won't just let you be free"
"That's why I'm here, he's going to try and get an pure Alpha. He think Omegas and Betas shake off his magic too easily and it isn't just Wolves that are vulnerable The Beast was a Dragon before Heyman fucked with him" Seth explained "When I was here the only Pure Alphas were Roman, Dad, Xavier, Charlotte and Renee"
He looked up at Drew "I'm gonna assume you are too?" He asked "Honestly, don't know for sure" Drew replied. "And I don't really care. Alphas have to protect everyone, I just have to protect Spitfire"
Seth nodded and continued "Whatever Heyman's magic did to me I have no fucking clue what I am anymore, I know it broke the seal my birth mother must have put on my magic, cause I can actually do shit now"
"I can help teach you" Becky quietly offered walking toward her new mate.
"Thank you" he says gently, with a slight bow. "I know I come with a fuckton of baggage, so I do understand if neither of you want to be mated to me"
Their impromptu meeting was interrupted when a golden blonde Wolf came barreling into the house and ran straight to Elias barking furiously
"Slow down, Renee what's wrong?!" The siren knelt down and placed a hand on her head. "I'm just gonna look okay honey?" he says gently as he closes his eyes only for them to snap open in horror a moment later.
"Elias?" Stephanie asks
"The Beast was here. Heyman took Roman."

is your best friend a reincarnated dragon? it’s more likely than you think!
since @honeybunchesofjokes​ decided call out posts were in again, here’s mine for her:
SHE’S A LITERAL FIVE HEADED DRAGON!
.....
okay, she’s not a literal five headed dragon, but she IS a dragon, likely one who’s sass pissed off a wizard, which is why she’s been cursed to into a tiny, frail mortal form
“but shana!” you’re saying, “that’s a serious accusation! you can’t accuse people of being dragons without any evidence! this is america! we’re human until proven a giant fire breathing lizard in a court of law!”
BITCH you think I don’t got EVIDENCE???
please consider:
runs hot. runs so hot. call the police and the fireman (make a draGON WANNA RETIRE MAN!!!!)
she's so warm everyone in the friend group has used her as a space heater at various points
has put her hot hot hands on various people and there's just this slow outrage of realization that small bunsen burners have been placed on them
she laid next to me in bed and was literally giving off such a large amount of heat from her tiny body that i had to TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING
she likes Things not in the way people like things, but in the ways of museum curators and DRAGONS have HOARDS of Things!
collects postcards, curates postcards and Small Art, and sometimes puts them up but most of the time they are just There and she Has Them because they are part of her Things
things that are blue are Good and things that are teal are Very Good!! she has so many things in teal!!! she hoards teal!! is a small art or postcard teal? EVEN BETTER!
‘but shana’ you say ‘those aren’t very traditional dragon hoards. that just sounds like things she likes’
IF! THIS! BITCH! COULD! ROB! A! BANK! SHE WOULD!! AND SHE WOULD SLEEP ON A PILE OF SOLID GOLD BARS!! BUT SHE CAN’T BREATH FIRE ANYMORE SO SHE MUST MAKE DO WITH PRETTY ART AND TEAL COLORED THINGS!!!
she made herself a cave to live in
i'm not fucking joking she made a CAVE!!!
she bought a queen canopy bed and got some dark BLUE sheets and THREE (3!) BLUE blankets and dark BLUE curtains to surround herself in!! it’s all blue and dark!
bitch missed her native environment and just!! built a motherfucking cave!!
her fashion aesthetic is Adventurer and Hero
how is this relevant, you ask?
i can only assume she dresses like all the mortals who tried to slay her in her past life and FAILED
consumes things that are TOO HOT!!
normal people should not be consuming things that are that hot!
drinks soup and other liquids that are boiling!!! yells at ME for not drinking boiling liquids! 'it's too hot!' i tell her, and she scoffs and says 'it's lukewarm!'
you???? are consuming??? a boiling liquid???? YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME ANYTHING ON TEMPERATURE
'microwave this for me' she says. i do it. 'this is cold!' she complains. honey. honey bunch. honey bunches of oats. its FUCKING STEAMING.
grew up in the icy tundra of minnesota and hates the warm mild so cal!
it is because she runs so hot!
loves snow! loves cold! who loves being cold?? NO ONE LOVES BEING COLD
therefore she is Not As Cold as everyone else because she's a MOTHERFUCKING DRAGON
NO WONDER she doesn't like living in a desert! dragons don't live in deserts! they live on the tops of icy snowy mountains!
'it's too hot' she says, for once in her goddamn life. 'IT'S A PLEASANT FUCKING DAY' i say. 'we should move. someplace north.' she says, because she yearns to RETURN FROM WHENCE SHE CAME
every time she comes out of the shower she looks like she just got fucking murdered by gordon ramsay
let me explain
she scratches herself in the shower and BIG RED WELTS APPEAR.
'oh,' you say, 'she has sensitive skin!'
DOES SHE???? or are her NAILS much like her UNNATURAL BODY HEAT remnants of her former dragon body, and therefore so much stronger than a normal human’s??
I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER HERE
she's always ready to Fight
her new years resolution last year was to get in a bar fight. this year it was to be pettiest person she knows.
she is a FIRM believer that violence solves ALL YOUR PROBLEMS if you do it right
why is so much vigilante justice rage contained inside of her? why is she so Ready To Go, Mate?
what else do you expect!! when you curse a big fearsome dragon!! to reside in a mortal form!! this is what you get!!!
in conclusion:
My Roommate Is A Giant Fire-breathing Lizard
thank you and goodnight

Fun House: Chapter 6
Bliss POV
After class I returned to my studio apartment and began studying for my exam. Well, I tried anyway. Joker's constant attention and flirtatious behavior was starting to wear me down. The way he talked, always trying to get you to laugh, was really cute. Every now and then if he was close enough he'd lightly touch my arm or the small of my back. He seemed so normal, so kind, and so lonely. I wondered if anyone else noticed how his laughs never reached his eyes or that when he laughed it was hallow. As if he was simply pretending to be goofy and full of joy. It almost made me forget that he was dangerous.
I pressed my head to my wall and sighed.
"Why are you so interested in me?"
My phone buzzed. It was Lucas from Media Law. He missed some classes due to some family issues and wanted to know what the exam would be over. He and a few other classmates wanted to meet up. I really did not want to, but my thoughts kept straying towards Joker and his magic penis. I kept wondering what it would be like to give into him. The dreams weren't helping either. I decided for my minds sake I'd meet with them.
Joker POV
"There she is Mr. J."
Mr. Pearson stated, pointing at the coffee shop across the street.
I gritted my teeth. Who the hell is that guy, with his long locks? I thought gripping my cane. The guy flipped his dreads to one side and smiled at her.
"I'll kill that bastard."
I began to open the door when Mr. Pearson stopped me.
"They are only talking and there are others there. Do you really want to show her that side of you?"
Mr. Pearson, always the voice of fucking reason. Fuck that guy and his chiseled chin and bulging arms. I closed the door and sat back. I crossed my arms and glared at him.
"Hey, you can get rid of him later."
Mr. Pearson smiled and we drove away.
Bliss POV
"So are you seeing anyone?"
Antwan, asked me as we walked towards our apartment. Turns out we live in the same complex.
"No. I'm on my last year so; once I'm done I'm leaving Gotham. There's no point in getting close to anyone here."
I did not really want to look at him. He was way too freaking hot and I felt that my eyes would melt if I looked at him.
"Are you sure? I have some connections within the City Council, maybe I can get you an in."
"Dude, fuck this place. The last one was murdered. I'd rather go someplace where shit like ancient witches and monsters don't come out of nowhere trying to take over the world."
I said flailing my hands around in frustration.
"Well, let me know if you change your mind."
After we said our goodbyes and went to our respective apartments, I collapsed on my bed and let the thoughts I was ignoring free.
Joker wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me against him. He caressed my face and slowly wrapped his other hand around my neck. Before I could tell him to stop he crushed his lips against mine. He bit down on my bottom lip, causing me to gasp in pain and plunged his tongue into my mouth. He began to lead me backwards towards the nearest wall. Once there he unzipped my pants and pulled them down and off my bare feet. He took off his gold jacket and reached for my panties. He simply slapped my hands away when I tried to stop him. He knelt on the floor and kissed my mound and pushed my legs further apart. I threw my head back and moaned when he licked my clit. I heard him growl as he pulled one leg over his shoulder and began thrusting his tongue inside me. My stomach tightened at the pleasure. My breast became heavy and I grabbed them and squeezed. His tongue was relentless and I would have fallen if he had not held me steady. My body felt like it was on fire, I could feel waves of electricity under my skin. My body shook from the pleasure and my heavy breathing became pants. I was so close to climax…
I woke with a start as my phone went off. I looked to see that Maria was calling me.
"Hello?"
"Where the fuck are you? Wait, don't answer that, and just don't come in right now."
I could hear yelling and shouts on the other end. I sat up with a start.
"What's going on?"
"Stop, you can't take that!"
Maria shouted to someone.
"It's the new mayor, Jordan Caliano. He's trying to close down Spades. The fuckers are saying we are late on paying our taxes. I know for a fact that Jay paid it two weeks ago."
I climbed out of bed, got dressed, and headed out the door.
"Maybe it's a mistake?"
I said heading towards the train station. I have no idea why I was going to Spades… I actually do. If they closed it down, I'd never see him again.
"It's not a fucking mistake, Bliss. This is personal. Mr. J killed the previous mayor, Caliano's best friend. This is his payback. He's going to learn the hard way. No one fucks with his shit."
She hung up on me and I ran for the station. When I finally got to the club, the place was in shambles. Most of the furniture was destroyed and the bar was completely demolished, it looked like someone took a torch to it. Maria was right, this was very personal. I could not find Jay, Maria, or any of the Queens.
"Look what we have here."
A burly man grabbed me by my arm and dragged me in a crushing embrace.
"What the fuck! Let me go!"
I struggled against him, but he was too strong. He tried to kiss me and I headed butted him and when he eased his grip I kicked him in the groin. I turned to run, but found two more men coming my way. I was able to dodge him, but the other grabbed me by the hair. I flung my arm back and landed a hit to his face. I turned when he let go and kicked his knee hard enough for it to pop. He yelled in agony and I ran for Jokers office. If I could get in then I would at least be able to get a gun. I tried the lock only to find it locked and before I could turn for the kitchen the man whom I'd kicked in the groin had recovered. He grabbed me by my neck and slammed me on the table. The others grabbed at my arms and legs.
"Stupid bitch!"
"No!"
Maria came running out of the kitchen with a large knife and stabbed one of the men in the back. The other jumped back and she grabbed me by the arm. She brandished the knife and started pulling me into the kitchen, but one of the men pulled out a gun. The other women hiding in the kitchen gasped and shit the door behind us. We froze. He started laughing, but our eyes were transfixed on the man behind him. Joker hands were on both sides of his head and before he could react, Joker snapped his neck so hard the man's head hung limply to the side. The other two were already on the ground. Mr. Pearson had handled them. Joker looked at us and smiled, his eyes closed slightly. It was a cute smile.
"Are you ladies okay?"
"Dude, you just broke that guys neck to the point its hanging. What the fuck are you one?"
I yelled grabbing onto Maria, who seemed unfazed. His smile faltered and he turned towards the guy who had slammed me on the table. The guy tried to crawl away with his good arm, but Joker reached him with ease. He stepped on the man's good hand and the man screamed.
"Tell me kid, what's your name?"
"Derek. Please don't hurt me. I was only doing a job."
"Did that job entail attacking my friend, here?"
The guy started crying. Joker threw back his head and laughed. It was the weirdest laugh and threw this whole mess I cracked a smile. What the hell is wrong with me? This is the reason I have to get out of here. I thought pulling away from Maria and heading for the door. Maria followed me out.
"Hey, are you okay? I would have come out sooner, but those doors are really thick I could not hear you."
"No! I was attacked by some goons, sent by our mayor. Joker just snapped-"
"Yea, I know. He's a lot stronger than he looks."
"That's not the point."
"What's the point? You live in Gotham there's no way that's your first dead bodies."
We heard Derek scream and Joker laughing. I looked at her in horror and pointed at the door.
"That's the fucking problem, Maria. This shit is nuts. I'm out of here."
Before I could leave the Joker came out of the club covered in blood. He shook his body and cracked his neck. He turned those blue eyes at me, but he said nothing. He just stared at me. I knew what he wanted, but I was not going to thank him. I could not say 'hey thanks for saving me and killing and torturing those guys'.
"You could have called the police."
His and Maria's mouths dropped open.
"You really just say that to me, honey?"
"I'm not your fucking honey. I quit, fuck this shit."
I turned to leave and he grabbed my arm. Maria tried to intervene, but he glared at her until she backed down. He gritted his teeth when she only stepped back and did not leave me alone with him. He turned back to me and his face was darkened by rage.
"Do you know what they were going to do to you or do you prefer to continue acting like a fucking idiot?"
He shook my arm. His grip was starting to hurt.
"Let me go."
He did immediately. I looked at him and turned away and left. He did not call after me and I did not look back.
