I heard his voice across the phone and it made me unconditionally happy. What were the chances that this man would answer ? In this distress, I felt slightly lucky.

"Blade...I--" I took a breath in, not even realizing what I was going to ask him. I hate him after all, don't I ?

"What ? I'll hang up if you don't run your stupid mouth." He sounded so annoyed, but it made me smile.

"Can I come over ?" GREAT. That was not what I wanted to ask. Now he'll simply think that I try to live everywhere that is not my apartment.

"What ?"

"Listen, I...I have some issues. Can I at least-"

Bip bip...

Now way, did he hang up on me ? Well, that was no surprise coming from him.

"That's unusual, why would you want to come to my house now ?" The voice got closer, until it became a whisper against my ear. I almost jumped.

"Have you finally made up your mind to kill me, hm ?" He chuckled darkly.

"You're here ??" I couldn't hide the surprise from my face and voice. It made him smile slightly, he must have felt like he was needed.

"I can leave, if that's your wish."

"No wait-" I tugged slightly on his shirt, after all, who did I have left right now ? I wasn't even mad at Silver Wolf. She couldn't save me everytime. I simply needed to stand up for myself tomorrow, yeah. I promise myself to clear this mess. Talking about it will simply help me feel better, and enlighten my thoughts.

"I need to talk right now...kind of. Please." I looked at him, and tried the puppy eyes. That costed me a flick on the forehead.

"No way, never look at me like that ever again." He frowned and crossed his arms, his body language clearly showed his annoyance to be there. Still, he stayed there, patiently. Was he giving me a second chance ?

"Alright, please ? It's important." He sighed and I felt like I won this time. This was way easier than I thought it would be.

"God, you're so..." He rolled his eyes and groaned. The next things were not really clear, he opened a portal and pushed me inside, I got all fuzzy and fell on his house's floor.

"HEY, NEXT TIME WARN ME." I rubbed my arm and frowned at him. He simply looked at me with a smug expression, the one that always makes me blow inside. One word, annoying.

Apart from that...I felt so surprised that he accepted so fast. Well, I knew that I'd own him one, somehow. I was already shivering at the thought of what Blade could ask me to do for him. I could totally imagine him asking me to kill someone...NO WAY. His voice took me back to reality.

"My, my, always complaining aren't we ?" He walked to his couch and sat. I stood there, in the middle of his always impressive living room. The scent of his house was so reassuring. What the hell was I thinking about now ??

"Do I scare you ? Or do you want to talk to me from afar ?" His voice was monotonous and he glanced at me.

I felt absolutely ASHAMED. Of course, we needed to talk. Well, I wanted to. God, forgetting why I was here ?? I must look like a big dumbass right now.

"Yeah, I know." I couldn't hide the fact that I was blushing right now. I approached the couch slowly and looked at him, awkwardly.

He rolled his eyes and patted the sit besides him.

"Sit."

"I don't take orders from you." I crossed my arms and sat.

"I did it because I wanted to, alright ?" I wasn't even convinced myself but well, there was not other choice than to hide my embarrassment. He would be SO HAPPY to see me all embarrassed because of him.

"Ha...have you forgotten that I am your superior, young girl ?" He got dangerously close to me and I felt his hot breath on my nape.

"That's--Whatever." I looked around the house, scanning everything with my eyes. If I wanted him to believe me I should at least be nicer...however, he was smart somehow so he would have the right judgement about this.

"What's bothering you so much that you feel the need to talk to me about it, then ?" He placed his elbow on the side of the couch and looked at me.

"Well...Since you are the only one who saw my ex and his mental troubles in live..."

"He got insanely mad this time." I looked at him, my voice was shaking. I just couldn't speak about Owl at all. The simple thought of him made me angry to death or afraid. He somehow always managed to prove me of how he could beat me at my own game, and how he'll always get me back to him.

"I see. It's about the stolen informations story in the headquarters ?" He smirked smugly and laid his head back. He was so nonchalant about it. SURE that would not happen to him, he was so scary.

"You know about it ?"

"Mhm. Everyone does. Your ex is quite impressive at spreading misinformations. We could use him for some interesting works." He chuckled and placed himself back correctly.

"Seriously ?? Why are you praising that dickhead psychopath ?" I felt my blood boil. Was it really all he remembered about the scandal ?

"Hey, slow down there. Who said I was praising him ?" He looked at me more coldly and got closer glancing strangely at me.

"Would you like me to praise you so bad as well ?" He smirked and even while sitting down, Blade managed to tower over me.

What the hell was he saying now ?? Me ? Never. A praise from him would be...yeah no.

"Huh ? Not really, you see...that would feel like an insult." I shrugged. I bet he would have liked me to follow his ego. Well, too bad for the guy.

"Interesting. You like to talk back in such a situation ? Where everything could crumble on you ?" He said the last words quietly and chuckled darkly.

I didn't know what to answer, he obviously wanted me to make a mistake. That could not happen.

"Would you like to be..." He stopped and a smile spread across his face, he was up to something.

"Degraded, then ?" Blade looked at my eyes, then...at my lips. There he goes again with that look...there's no way he has a hold on me with one look.

"Do I look like I--"

"Yes. When you're answering back like this...I feel like you just want me to ruin all of you." He turned to look at me more closely, our knees brushed together.

"W-what do you even mean ? I'm just speaking my mind." I frowned, I just couldn't hide the slight heat on my cheeks. This man was getting to me and he knew it.

"Mhm...don't you want to use that little mouth of yours..." Don't say it.

"For something else ? Something more interesting?" I was going to lose it. Seriously, the way he looked at me, his eyes going up and down all over me. Could I even run ? Did I want that...? I can't be in denial. Am I ?

He chuckled and grasped on my neck gently, our nose were almost touching now, his breath tickled my face.

"Y/N. Do you really want to play this game with me ?" He looked at my lips, his voice hot hoarse.

Did I stare too much...did he read through me ? No way.

"Do you wish for it to happen that bad, hm ?" Oh, god. His grasp on my neck got rougher and I put my hand on his wrist out of panick.

"Say...will you let it happen ? This time, I don't plan on stopping like last time."

My whole body was on fire, and I exactly knew what my answer was. I simply needed to nod, or say yes, and...

"I--please..." My head moved up and down slowly. Did I admit ? I freaking did...damn it.

He smirked and chuckled, letting go of my neck, he lifted me up in his arms and carried me to his room.

"Good girl."
