Immortal's End

Reclaimed (3.)

[Eva.]

Daveed brought me back before my twelve hours were up and stayed with me yesterday in the theatre, nursing me back to health. He showered me, putting cream on my back to soothe the ache, massaging my hips from the... fun we had. He cared for me, touching me almost the whole 24 hours. He held me through the night, cooing in my ear how much he loved me, how I was his good girl. He took the bracelet from me, telling me that he wouldn't let Oak use me anymore. I believed him.

This morning, he woke me up with coffee and a wrapped bagel from down the street. "Good morning , my love. Breakfast." I smile and sit up. I slept bare, he preferred that for me. The only thing I had was a black leather collar, a "DD" etched into it. A matching scar was healing on my left hip.

"Thank you, babe. You're the best." I say. It felt forced of me to say that, I didn't want to, but whenever I thought of Oak or Lin, I just hurt. I wasn't sure why, but it happened. Honestly, most of the weekend was a blur. I'm grateful Daveed came to help me feel better. He hands me my coffee and I take a sip to taste. "Mmm... what is it, it tastes great."

"Just a vanilla latte with a bit extra. Made just for you." He coos, meeting my lips in a kiss. My hands found his cheeks, the stubble rough under my fingertips. I need to touch him. Touching him made me feel better. I live for his kisses, so when he pulls away, I whimper instantly. "Easy, love. Breathe." Why am I like this? Why am I desperate for his touch?

"Play with me..." I whisper, my fingers finding his shirt to hold him. "Please..." It felt like pain would come if he didn't play with me... I needed him to play with me.

"No, you need to eat. I'll get you clothes, though I love seeing your beautiful skin..." He kisses my forehead, setting the bagel in my lap. I blush, shyly wrapping my arms around myself. "No need to hide, it's nothing I haven't seen before."

"I know... but still. Do you really want me on display like this all the time?" I ask, eating the bagel one-handed while my other arm tugging the blanket up to cover my chest.

"Yes, at least when we're here. I shall dress you when you need to be seen by others." He says, as if it's fact. He'll dress me...

Call from- Tree Bear Man - my phone announces. I pick it up and answer on speaker, as always.

"Hey snugs, you okay? I've been calling all weekend." Oak's voice rings through.

"Hi... I'm um. Daveed and I went out, I didn't have my phone."

"All day? You can only be out for twelve-ish hours at a time."

"He came back with me and we um... we..." I could feel my heart pulling in one direction, but my back started stinging as well. 

"Eva..." Oak's voice... it sounds pained like mine. "It's okay, you can tell me. I get that it was a wild weekend."

"I'm sorry, but I have to go. And um..."

"You okay, babygirl?" Daveed said, knowing full well that Oak could hear.

"Daveed?! What are you doing there with her still?"

"Just dressing my girl. What are you doing?" Daveed takes my phone, taking if off of speaker. "Finish your breakfast then get dressed in a dress and leggings." He whispers to me. I nod, taking another bite of my bagel as he walks off with my phone.

[Oak.]

"Bringing my girl tea, as usual on days we work. Also, your girl? Excuse you, you watched me ask her to be mine. Spoiler, she said yes." I say, striding through the stage area to get backstage. What the hell is he even doing up there to begin with!?

"Damn, seems like she changed her mind. As I'm up here and you're not." He gloats.

"Just you wait." When I get to her door... it's locked. "Daveed, open this damn door." I say lowly, seething mad.

"And risk you scaring my doll? Absolutely not." He chuckles, and I hear my girl speaking in the background.

"Can I talk to him? Please?" She coos.

"Yea, let me talk to my girlfriend, Daveed."

"No. You'll see him later on at showtime. For now, stay up here." He tells her, and swear I hear them kiss. Oh. Fuck. No.

"Daveed get your hands off my girl! I swear I will rip you into oblivion-"

"Tsk tsk, Oak calm down, you're scaring her... relax." He says to me before it gets soft again. "It's okay, my love, he won't touch you. You're safe with me..."

"I love you too..." she says to him, and my heart drops into the floor.

"What did you do. Daveed! DAVEED!!!" The phone goes dead. He hung up on me.

I kick the door again, testing its strength. Damnit. God damnit.

"Lin, get your ass here now." I say into my phone, already having called him.

[Eva.]

He pockets my phone, his other arm holding my waist. I dressed in a simple black, long sleeve sweater dress and black leggings.

"You look beautiful, love. But, I need to reinforce some things before I go for the day." He speaks softly, though his voice is always a little rough. Not like Oak... I flinch slightly, but nod.

45 minutes and 30 smacks with a doubled belt later, he tucks me back into bed, kissing the tears away from my cheeks. Everything inside of me says this doesn't feel right. But... I have to love him. Im scared of if I don't. I can't love Oak. I can't love Lin. They only bring pain. I have to love Daveed or there will be pain. When I love Daveed, I feel good. It's the only time I feel good.

"It's all for your own good, my love. You know that. Someday, I won't need to hurt you so much." He says, cupping my cheek for one more kiss before leaving me. "I'll come back for you when it's time to eat. Finish your coffee."

For once, I wish I still had Ave in my head. Maybe then I could be strong. I've let all of my defenses down and Daveed just walked right in. I don't know what I'm feeling. I do as he says and finish my coffee while he's gone. I love coffee, it should cheer me up, but it only makes me feel worse. The heat builds in my body, all I can think about is how much I need him to come back. I need him to play with me. But why? I don't know. I just need it. I need him. It hurts without him. It hurts to be away from him. I want him back.

What happened to me...
