Three Months Later

Lucious' Point of View

[]

The first few times that Violet and I were intimate together, I assumed it was just a fluke. A simple moment of weakness where our bodies were doing the thinking for us.

It was already against my morals to cheat or encourage another person to do so, but the damage was already done. Alternatively, I assumed that if we stopped after the second time, there would still be some sort of faithfulness in that already broken relationship between Elijah and her that I despise.

But the second time turned into the third, and the third turned into the fourth, and before I knew it I found myself trapped in what felt like a V-polyamorous relationship. Yes, I'd consider what we have to be something such as that. When Elijah would leave for work or out with friends, she'd call me over or ask if she could come to my place. Despite how often she'd end up in my bed or I'd be shaking hers, the friendship aspect of our relationship was still very natural.

Sometimes, there was no sex. We'd watch movies together, spoon, order takeout, anything. And we would laugh. Laugh and kiss, then laugh and kiss some more. I'd kiss her in any spot. I still didn't tell her about my second life. And suppressing this from her was a challenge. I felt like I was fighting with myself every time we were intimate. It's not that I am incapable of being sexually romantic, but it is harder when you find yourself being limited to that behavior. Every whip, chain, rope, and other items spent most of their time locked away in a large box and only taken out in the appropriate setting. It is becoming progressively harder to keep hidden the behavior that is natural to me.

In addition to this, there was another issue. Violet continued to suffer from Elijah's mistreatment, which shouldn't come as a surprise. Any time he gets out of control and hurts her, I am the one that she runs to. I am the one who soaks her body in a warm bath. Who massages her to help the healing process. Who kisses each bruise and mark while simultaneously convincing her not to cut again.

It pains me to see her suffering in silence, which makes me suffer in silence as well. It hurts to know that I am still not at a high enough status in this situation for Violet to make a complete choice. As much as I care for her, I have grown tired of being used as what feels like good company.

Over this time my feelings have attached too strongly to withstand it. I want to see her all of the time, but not when he is hurting her. I cannot openly watch someone I care about be broken down constantly. Did she still feel like what he was doing was love? I've wanted to ask her the important question of why she won't leave him.

I still felt like I was just a friend. I truly am stubborn, as I broke my promise to myself to not be in this exact situation. Sometimes it wasn't all bad, as I had some delusional thoughts that she'd been weening off of him and looking to end things. But three months have gone by and nothing has changed.

I had to speak up.

And so while she currently lays next to me underneath my sheets, it would be a great time to understand what exactly is going on here.

Lucious cupped Violets face after caressing it for some time. She always slept so peacefully when she was at his place. She shuffled around slightly, then opening her eyes slightly. He gave her forehead a kiss, then heading to her collarbone. The coldness of his lips made her squeal for a moment. She chuckled, and he finally leaned up to kiss her lips. "I need to ask you something..." Lucious said. "What do you need to ask me...?" She replied, staring at with doe eyes.

"I...just don't know how much longer I can take being in the middle of this..." Lucious said, standing at his kitchen counter and dicing up items to place into a pan. Violet sat nearby, on a chair at the island.

"W-what do you mean?" Violet asked. "Violet, we've known each for about seven months now. And we've been sneaking around for three. You're spending nights with him and nights with me. The first two times we slept together was a mistake but now we've both been doing it casually and...it just doesn't feel right." Lucious explained.

"But...doing it this way gets rid of problems...- Does it? Such as what?" Lucious asked, turning around to face her. She stayed silent. "He's still hurting you. He's still making you feel awful each day. And I've been your support system which I'm fine with but what use is supporting someone who won't leave?" Lucious said.

"It's not the easiest thing to leave someone like that..." Violet mumbled. "I know. I understand that. But Violet, creeping around like this isn't going to make anything better. How long are we supposed to do this? And either way, he'll get far more of you than me. And it will always be that way as long as you're with him." Lucious said.

"What does that mean? He'll get more than you?" Violet asked. Lucious walked around the counter and towards her, staring down at her. "You know that my feelings for you are growing each time we spend time together. I can't sit and watch you be hurt by someone else and not be able to step in. I hate to see you crying because of him. But I know that you have some sort of devotion to him that existed before you and I met. And it seems like that will always be there. And that is something I can't continue to bear to witness." Lucious said.

"W-what are you saying? My feelings for you are stronger too...in fact, I think I'm feeling more for you than for him..." She said. "You say that, but you don't short that. And it's because you can't." Lucious said. She sighed.

"I think that...we should maybe go back to just being coworkers, Violet." He said. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Why?- Because, this isn't me. Maybe this doesn't sound as fair, but I'm a selfish man, Violet. I don't like to share. And I don't like to creep around and play second to a lowlife man. I have too much self respect for that, and it just ends up being a waste of time. I have feelings for you, so I want to have you to myself. I can't keep doing this, I'm sorry." Lucious said.

"Why do you keep pushing me away...?" She asked. Lucious sighed, then standing up and walking back to the kitchen. "Isn't it...clear that I like you too?" Violet asked. "Yes, Violet it's clear. But your feelings are not as strong for me as they are for Elijah. And it's my fault for ignoring that." He said.

"The more we do this, the more I'm going to feel for you and the more angry and hurt I will become about the fact that we can't have the relationship we truly want with each other." Lucious explained.

Violet was hurting yet again by his strong boundaries. But she also understood his point. They have been doing this for months and if they could have continued it just the way it was, Violet would have stuck with that. If it meant that she could have a life with someone else while avoiding having to take the initiative to breakup with Elijah, she would be happy. But that wasn't possible nor was it realistic.

She didn't want to let Lucious go, but she felt like if she broke up with Elijah, he surely wouldn't take that lightly.
