Insatiable Habits

Grilled Cheese

💋Cecily💋

His voice was hoarse but sharp as usual as he commanded me into the bedroom with the tray, as instructed I didn't turn on any lights but plenty flooded in behind me from the open door. I stood in front of him by the bed and he carefully took the tray from me and inspected it's contents.

"I didn't know if your migraine made you feel sick to your stomach like they do to me, so it's just a grilled cheese and lemonade...aspirins are off to the side..." I trailed off quietly and watched, twirling my fingers around themselves, preparing myself for rejection.

"They make me feel everything terrible." He actually answered me, for once he let me know how something made him feel. "But the worst of it is over and I am hungry." He almost cracked a smirk but he pulled his eyes from mine and back onto the tray, collecting half of it within his hand, he took a big bite, returning his eyes to mine as he chewed it with sophistication I'd never seen another person eat with, how he ate a sandwich so cleanly and perfectly, I'll never know.

He hummed and I perked up with his reaction, wondering if he found it satisfactory or disgusting. "You used gruyere..." he commented and my cheeks flushed as I grew nervous, knots twisted in my already painfully cramped stomach, I was still bleeding from my fucking and I just knew there was something terribly torn in there but I downed as many Advil as I could to try and control the pain.

"I did..." I confirmed, offering a smile to fake confidence.

He used the napkin to wipe his mouth then swallowed the aspirins on the tray with the lemonade before setting it down and staring into my eyes again. What do you see, when you look at me like that? "It was good, I'm surprised you know how to use anything other then that processed sliced shit!"

"Thank you, but my mom has taught me how to cook Teseo...I'm not a child." I sighed and finally sat down on the edge of the bed but I stared down at my twirling fingers, I shouldn't defend myself, it always makes him mad.

"Take that away and come back." He said eerily quiet, almost calm and I didn't like not knowing what he was feeling, typically when I made him mad, it was known by his eyes and sharp tongue immediately.

"Oh...okay!" I stood up and removed the tray from the bed and hurriedly took it to the kitchen and put everything away before I hurried back to the bedroom and beside the bed, which he had laid back down on, resting his head on the pillow.

"Come here" he patted his chest and opened an arm for me. I stood there and I'm sure with my mouth fallen open and gaping, I was confused with his sudden kindness and surprised by the affection he wanted to show me.

Close your mouth you idiot and hurry before he insults you.

I crawled into the bed and up his side until I laid down next to him, cradled in his arm with my head on his chest, he took a deep breath and wrapped his arms around me, one hand played with my hair as the other rubbed my arm gingerly.

I inhaled his irresistibly sexy scent and nestled closer, my body relaxing against his and his breathing was soothing to my heart, I felt so comforted in the moment but it was short lived as he wrapped his arm tightly around my body as the other hand grasped my throat, he pressed me onto my back and slowly crawled on top of me until I was trapped under him. "Teseo, please; That hurts!" I struggled as his hand closed around my throat, cutting off the blood supply to my brain.

"You are mine now, that is what you wanted, right? Because you can't decide to run away from me now, I will drag you back no matter where you hide, you understand?" His words were low, they were dark and seething, they oozed with resentment and I didn't know why but I did know that I had gotten myself into a mess, I begged for this and I was getting everything I wished for, I just hadn't realized how painful all of it would be.

I nodded quickly when his grasp grew tighter around my throat. "Yes sir, yes, Teseo please...stop squeezing!" I was finding it hard to speak, I had no qualms with agreeing because it didn't matter, he wasn't asking for my consent to basically own me, he was telling me that he owned me.

He released my throat just as my vision was starting to go in and out and I knew I was losing consciousness. I gasped dramatically and he stroked my tears away then rolled off of me, laying on his back. "Since I refused to allow Vice to abduct you from Lanes because I didn't want your mother leaving my grandparents over your demise, I protected you. That has cost me my freedom, I will be taking over Vice's business and Sila Demm" he admitted with a huff of frustration, vigorously rubbing his face with both hands.

"I was tempted the kill you for fucking up my life, but Vice wrote a whole contractual stipulation on you, since you nailed me to the cross for him, you're stuck with me and you will live with me, say goodbye to school because you aren't going back, but don't fret; there is a hearty salary for you." He choked out through a frustrated tone, I laid silently beside him, this was the most he had ever said to me and I couldn't help but marvel at the information, I couldn't believe that a man I had only met once secured my safety, although I really never believed that Teseo would ever cause me fatal harm.

"Not that I would actually ever kill you, but he was apparently not certain of that..." he answered exactly what I was thinking and I turned to face him, I wanted to touch him, to apologize for going into Lanes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I was putting myself in jeopardy and I certainly did not know that I was interfering with your job, Teseo..." I whispered brokenly, etching my hand closer to him until my fingertips grazed his bicep, he didn't move but he turned his head and stared at me, then my fingers delicately touching his soft inked skin.

"I know, but it still angers me, I should have never permitted Diana to allow you here, all of this could have been avoided" he moved his arm from my caress and scooted further away from me, crossing his arms over his chest.

I frowned and sighed, knitting my brows in the silence that grew between us I tried to process my life's new developments, I couldn't stop my mind from replaying all of my mothers warnings, she basically begged me to stay away from Teseo and I wouldn't have it, I did the complete opposite of what she had asked and she never asked much at all of me. What am I going to do?

"We are going to go home tomorrow after I settle some business and you're going to tell your mother that you will no longer be attending school and that you'll be living with me, yeah?" He spoke as if he were meddling in my mind, dictating as usual what would happen.

I watched him as he spoke and let it soak in before I nodded slowly. "Yeah, I'll tell her...she's going to be so disappointed..." I covered my face with my hands and rubbed my eyes which filled with tears that burned them as they leaked across the bridge of my nose and down my cheek.
