"Ciel?" Her voice was soft, a whisper.I turned to her, offering a smile, but my grip tightened around her back, ensuring she didn't slip.
"Yes," I replied, keeping my voice calm, steady.
She stuttered, hesitant. "I-I..."
"When I saw you at my brother's," I started, my voice low, "I should've known this was the kind of work you were in. I guess I didn't think much of it, and it's fine. I'm not judging you. I'm sure you had your reasons for doing what you do. As you'd say, 'I won't stop your bag.'" I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
She leaned into me, pressing her face into the nape of my neck. I inhaled deeply, letting the sensation of her closeness take over, before I placed a kiss on the top of her head.
"Thanks," she murmured, her voice trembling just slightly.
"Akira?" I called out softly, not wanting to disturb the moment, but needing her to hear this.
"Hmm?" she answered, her voice barely audible.
I leaned in a little closer, my grip on her tightening. "Not that I'm angry with you, but it still pisses me off," I admitted. "The way you're wearing all this revealing shit. For other people to see. I don't like it. I want you all to myself. Your face, your body, your heart, your soul. Everything. I don't want to share you with anyone." I murmured, the words spilling out, raw. "Is that atrocious?"
She didn't answer right away. Instead, she hugged me tighter, her body pressing into mine, before she pulled back, shaking her head. "No," she replied softly.
"Can we leave?" I asked, my voice low.
She hesitated, pulling back from me. "I still have a few more hours to work," she said, standing to move away, but I wasn't having it.
I grabbed her waist, holding her firmly in place. My jaw clenched as I bit down on my lower lip. I stood, putting her back on the seat. "Put this on. I'll be right back." I shrugged off my jacket and threw it on her lap, making it clear I wasn't asking.
"Wait, where are you going?" she asked, confused.
"Just stay here," I muttered, walking out of the room, trying to keep my temper in check.
I walked toward the manager's office. Outside, a woman stood, her breasts hanging out provocatively. I looked away, irritated by her presence.
"Hey, handsome," she said as she approached, her voice laced with false sweetness.
I cursed under my breath. "Excuse me," I said, trying to sidestep her, but she wasn't having it. She pressed her body against mine, pushing her chest into me.
I rolled my eyes, exasperated. "Listen, you little cunt," I said, my voice cool, though my anger simmered just beneath the surface. "Get the fuck away from me. I don't want you. You're insignificant. Now move." My eyes locked on hers, unflinching as I stepped around her and entered the manager's office.
After handing over the $2000 and telling the manager that Akira wouldn't be coming back, I left his office and returned to her. She was asleep on the L-shaped sofa, her body curled up in a way that made my chest tighten.
I gently shook her, whispering, "Kira, wake up. We're going home." The words slipped out before I could stop them. Home. It sounded almost... right.
She murmured my name in her sleep. "Ciel..."
I exhaled, a heavy sigh escaping me. She was dead weight in my arms as I tried to pick her up, but she was out cold. I moved her onto my back, securing her legs and wrapping her arms around my neck. She nuzzled into me, her breath soft against my neck. A jolt ran through me, but I shoved the feeling down. Not now. Not the time.
