A Game of Lies & Seduction

Always

Ariella

She landed inside the apartment and threw the portkey across the room as tears rolled down her cheeks. She aggressively removed her earrings and chucked those across the dark apartment also. She hated this apartment and everything it represented, Enzo had always referred to her life as a cage, now she was beginning to understand it. If Viktor had the cure why hadn't he just fucking given it to Astoria yet? She could literally feel the walls pressing in on her, torn between the need to get that damn cure and just be free, run.

She wrenched the door open and just stared out at the hallway before her, it would kill her if she walked away and lost the only family she had left because of it. She slammed the door closed and marched into her bedroom pulling her sweatshirt off and throwing it to the floor before crawling onto her bed and collapsing on the pillows. Their apartment was simple, nothing grande, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small kitchen and sitting area.

She had wanted to save the money she made with the crew to pass along to Astoria once she was cured. She stared out the small window in her bedroom as rain started to pour down, how fitting. She spun the silver and green butterfly that she had hung from the ceiling delicately in her fingers. Slytherin colors. The pressure to run only pounding louder in her eardrums as she stared at the small butterfly. It was a symbol. One Mattheo and her used all throughout 6th year, a reminder that they needed each other to be free.

At the time Mattheo had been drowning inside his own cage with his father, she helped to keep his head above water. For him the butterfly meant finding a way out. He made her promise relentlessly that she would never let anyone put her in a cage, force her to do things she didn't want. Tears slipped from her eyes at the thought of how things had changed for both of them. She slapped the butterfly hard sending it careening across the room and clattering to the floor.

He was so fucking angry all the time, he hadn't even been this bothered when he was the one inside the cage, he had been caring, happy and sweet-with her. She had practically felt it there under the surface when he helped her down from the truck, like before, the world disappeared and it was just the two of them. Only for him to go back to angry and distant with her when they got back to the Mansion, why had he bloody asked her to stay just to essentially boot her out? She sighed heavily as she sat up and wiped at the tears on her face, she startled at the pop of a portkey that echoed through the apartment.

“Enz-” She called softly as she slipped from the bed and quietly crept to the doorway. “No baby” Mattheo said softly making her freeze where she stood, her breath hitching as he dropped the portkey and dashed toward her. She wrapped her arms around his neck as his lips crashed hungrily against hers, a moan escaping her as he pressed her against the doorframe. “Tell me you want this” He said desperately against her lips, “Always” She whispered with equal desperation.

Mattheo pulled her inside the bedroom and slammed the door shut pushing her against it. She ripped his shirt open, buttons flying, his chest was covered in tattoos “-fuck” she breathed running hungry eyes over him. “Never stop-” He muttered pulling his shirt off the rest of the way “Stop what?” She questioned, he kissed her deeply again before telling her “-Looking at me like that” and dropped down to his knees pressing hard kisses down her stomach as he slipped her pants off. Him on his knees did things to her, she dropped to her own and threw her arms around him tackling him to the ground as their tongues twirled together. He rolled and pinned her underneath him as he reached for his buckle, she broke the kiss to pull her sports bra off. He groaned at the sight and resumed the aggressive attack on her lips, moving eagerly down her neck. She pushed his pants and boxers eagerly down past his ass as he reached beneath her and pulled off her shorts. He cast a  contraceptive charm and slammed inside of her, the both of them calling out for eachother before his pants were even fully off.
