He shackles me back up and tells me that he's going to go make us something to eat. I breath a sigh of relief when he leaves and shuts the door behind him. Now I don't have to act all lovey and toleraty of him.
I take this time to draw out the plan of Bastion's house in the dust on the table. Each x I draw is the door to each room. I counted a total of six windows, seven if I include the tiny one in the bathroom. Step one of my plan is complete.
Now as I have some time to myself I think about all that's happened since I died and got reincarnated here.
So I'm in my twenty somethings right now and at fifteen I was being courted by some weird twenty year old furry guy.
Which honestly doesn't make sense because if a girl can't have a mate until she has her first heat then why were we courting? That makes no sense.
Continuing with the chain of events, I rejected him.
Looking at this, doesn't that mean that Bastion and I are courting? We're not official mates until we copulate. That means, at least in theory, that I could reject him and be free. I know that won't work though, this guy is crazy enough to kidnap me and chain me up. He would never let me go.
"Darling, I've brought your favorite!" He comes in with a plate full of bs flowers. He didn't let me finish my timeline!
He hands me the plate and then goes to the doorway. I'm shocked he hasn't climbed into my bed and forced me to eat the food out of his hands. He really enjoys doing that to me.
"Are you okay?" I ask him. "Yeah, I'm busy thinking about your punishment for earlier." What? "Punishment for what?" I ask in my best innocent voice.
"Punishment for saying no to having fawns with me."
"I told you I acted like that because I was scared about giving birth. I'm not scared now that you explained how it will work. I'm sorry for acting like that."
"No amount of apologizing or begging will get you out of this punishment."
He doesn't say anything else and silently stands in the doorway watching me. I decide to ignore him and I start to eat the bs flowers. It's not until I finish eating the entire plate that I feel a terrible burning on my tongue. He spiced my food!
"Waaher! Waaher!" I cry as I stick my tongue out in hopes that the air will stop the burning. It doesn't, in fact it makes it burn more. "I told you not to be rude and right after you were rude again. This is your punishment." I fucking hate him.
Two Days Later
After my stupid punishment I've been on my best behavior, (I have no interest in eating spiced food again.) It's been working because Bastion let me run around shackle free yesterday and he's going to do it again today.
"Put this on." Bastion says as he hands me a white dress. I would rather wear animal skin clothes like he does than this dress but I keep my mouth shut.
He unshackles me and turns around so I can change. Once I have the dress on I tell him and he turns around. His eyes grow wide and his mouth hangs open. "You look absolutely gorgeous. I love how it brings out the tan of your skin." He drools as he practically eye fucks me.
"Thank you." He doesn't acknowledge my thanks and continues to stare at me like I'm hot shit. "Hello? Are you there?" I ask, waving my hand in front of his face.
"Sorry darling, you're so mesmerizing that I was simply entranced by you." He explains as he lets me walk out the door. "What do you want to do today?" He asks. I know better than to ask to go outside so instead I ask if we can spend time together in the living room.
I cross the hallway and open the door. I plop down on the couch and mentally roll my eyes when I feel the couch dip.
Bastion scooches over to me and wraps an arm around my shoulders, pulling me even closer to him. "You're my favorite, you know that?"
"You're my favorite buck."
"Does that mean you have other favorites?"
"Yeah, I have a favorite cousin and a favorite guy to piss off." Wrong words on my part because Bastion tightens his grip of my shoulders.
"Favorite guy to piss off? Who is he? I'm going to rip his throat out with my teeth." He threatens in a dangerous tone.
"It doesn't matter. I haven't seen him in years, I don't think he even remembers me." I say with sadness.
"Aww my sweet mate, don't be sad. A pathetic guy like that doesn't deserve your sadness. And if he has forgotten you, that proves that I'm the only one who will ever love you." He loosens his grip and gently rubs my left deltoid. Look at that, I remembered something from freshman health class!
"My darling, do you know what I just realized?"
Please Sandy, not another guessing game."I don't know your name. I do love calling you darling and mate but it seems wrong that I don't know your name. We're going to be spending the rest of our lives together so I need to know your name."
"Briar. My name is Briar."
"I love it." He rubs his chin against the top of my head. "My sweet darling mate, Briar. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm going to give you the best life possible." When he says sweet things like this a part of me wants to believe it. I want to believe that he actually loves me but I know better. This is another trick.
If he can play tricks then so can I. I wiggle out of his grasp and straddle him. I lean forward and place a vicious lip lock on him. I don't let him even attempt to tongue my throat and instead our tongues wrestle.
For once I'm not the first to pull away and I can't stifle my laugh when I see how flushed his face is.
"It's not funny." He pouts. "You're right. It's not funny, it's hilarious!" I laugh. He gives me another pouty look and I laugh even more.
"Only twenty-eight kisses to go."
