Forged - [Donald Na x female oc]

[AE] - Chapter 30

Donald's tone was evil, as he placed a soft kiss on her neck. He smiled against her skin as he felt Ray inhale sharply and felt her entire body tense up.

He continued kissing her neck, wanting to see how much more she could take. It didn't seem like it was much.

"Donald... please, stop" she said in a breathy voice, barely able to keep it together.

"Hm?" he hummed against her neck, really rubbing it in her face she was at his will.

"Please, please stop."

Ray was at her wits end. She could not take it anymore, not this kind of torture.

"How delightful it is to hear your voice beg, Ray. Alright, how about this."

Donald moved his face away from her neck, seeming to have had a moment of consideration for her boundaries, giving her space. His hands still rested on her waist, but he applied less pressure.

He was aware that what he was doing was beyond disgusting, but he wasn't planning on actually proceeding with it.
It was all an intimidation technique, and it seemed to have worked. She was going to take whatever option he would give her instead, assuring a win for him.

"I'll let you go under one condition. Well, maybe two conditions, actually." He chuckled. "Firstly, you're going to work for me. And give me all the details of your former job, operation plans, names, associates, history... everything."

Donald was delighted by the idea of working Ray like a dog. It wasn't just the benefits she'd bring to the Union, but it was also having power over someone so strong-willed and capable like her. During their friendship, while he did like her as a person, he couldn't help those thoughts in the back of his mind that begged him to subdue her, to control her, to own her.

Ray narrowed her eyes, clearly displeased, but she eventually nodded softly. She was in no position to negotiate, that much was clear.
And she was just glad he had had a change of heart.

Her obedience didn't come as a total surprise to Donald, but he knew he went way overboard and crossed boundaries with his slight sexual punishment and remarks.
Her quick acceptance of his offer must have been deeply rooted in this new fear he instilled in her.

He had finally gotten through to her.

He grinned, pleased, squeezing her waist slightly.

However, there was a change in the mood. Donald was suddenly rid of any of his predatory aura. It was like her final acceptance to join the Union made him forget how mad and cruel he had been just a moment ago.

It also seemed that they were both so exhausted mentally and emotionally that they didn't have any energy left for anger and hatred now that a deal had been cut. And especially now, their old situationship or whatever that attempt at romance was resurfaced in both of their minds.

"And secondly..." Donald took a break. "Did you mean it? When you said not all of it was fake?" His eyes caught a weird edge, reminding her of his gentle self, the self only she seemed to have been allowed to see.

Ray nodded again, looking him in the eyes. Her gaze was also rid of hatred or disdain.

"Then... do you know what to do?"

This time it was a question, not a demand. His voice had gone softer too, and not in the same tone as earlier, the gentle one he used to mock her and play with her feelings. Something about it seemed genuine.

Ray nodded softly, and after placing her hands around his neck, she gently moved closer to him. Donald closed his eyes, and Ray felt two fresh tears run down her cheeks as their lips finally touched.
