Truth - The Balance

Chapter 9 - Dive In

He sat unmoving, his eyes locked on hers. She knew he was up to something, most likely going to deceive her again. A smile graced his handsome features after a moment and he began taking long strides towards the barrier of her home. Natalie sighed and walked to her door. She stood there for the longest time debating whether or not to turn the knob and step outside.

Promising herself that she would be safe inside Truth's silver boundary, she quickly turned the knob and stepped outside before she could change her mind. Deceit was already at the barrier, his hands behind his back and a large grin on his face. His hair was gelled back perfectly, tied all the way down his long hair repetitively in a matchstick look. "Good morning my Lady." He beamed. Natalie's face stayed the same as before, content. "You lied to me."

Deceit frowned, "What a way to greet your future King." He mumbled under his breath, but Natalie had heard it. He cleared his throat and pulled one arm from behind his back, straightening his leather jacket with a black gloved hand. It was too damn hot to be wearing all those clothes, Natalie thought. "Well, I have brought you something." He smiled excitedly like a child. Natalie scoffed, "Do I want it? Or is it just another pile of bullshit?" She growled, her eyes spiraling silver and gold in anger.

Deceit chuckled, clearly amused by her anger. It made him tingle in excitement. "My, my. It makes me hot when you're eyes come alive with such a passion." He smirked. Natalie could notice a bulge growing in his leather pants. "You disgust me." She barked out, stomping towards her screen door and slamming it open. Deceit took a step forward, the tips of his combat boots just grazing the silver border between them. "Tell me how badly I disturb you baby." A purr rumbling through his chest as he spoke.

The screen door clattered against the frame when Natalie stopped, just on the other side of the wall. They were only two feet apart. "It makes me all tingly inside." He growled with need. Deceit sniffed the air, smelling her scent in the same creepy fashion he did the night before. Instantly his eyes narrowed, gold illuminating from them with jealousy. He inhaled deeply again and then exhaled a breath, calming himself as his eyes dimmed down. "I see dip shit still hasn't claimed you, but he almost did, didn't he?" Deceit lifted an eyebrow, "What would stop him from taking such a feisty beautiful woman as his own?"

Deceit tapped his index finger against his forehead and then held it straight up, his eyes wide with enlightenment. "Ah, I see. You didn't want him...did you? You want this." He grabbed his erection between his legs and winked. Natalie scoffed, appalled by his behavior. He really was a piece of work, but she couldn't help admiring the way the leather clung to him. "Doesn't me being completely repulsed by you say something?" She placed her hands on her hips, her long dark hair blowing behind her in the warm summer breeze. He might be attractive, but she wanted nothing to so with him.

Deceit winked, "Oh baby, that's just foreplay." Natalie shook her head at him. He clearly wasn't right in the head. "But never the less, I have brought my prize a prize." He smiled and pulled his arm out from around his back, his gloved hand closed tightly out in front of the barrier.

Natalie leaned forward just a hair as Deceit smiled his most beautiful smile, opening his fist. It was a gorgeous gold bracelet, engraved in their language. Deceit tried to touch the barrier and hissed through his teeth at the smell of burnt leather. His gloves had been melted at the tips of his fingers. "Well come on," He said smooth and calmly. "I can't give it to you, so you'll have to take it." Natalie let out a humorless laugh. Did he really think she was that stupid? "Yeah, right!" She laughed out. "I know you think I'm slow, but I'm not about to put my hand out there for you to snatch me."

A smile slowly formed on his face as he pointed his finger at her and winked. "Got me!" He laughed and tossed the bracelet across the silver wall at her feet. "But a guy's gotta try, right?" Natalie picked it up with her thumb and index finger as if it were contaminated. "I don't want anything from you." She snapped, slinging it through the silver back to him. Deceit bent down, feigning hurt while picking it up. "But it's yours, my Queen. I've been keeping this for centuries until your arrival." His eyes narrowed. "But it looks like old goody goody fuck face found you first."
