The night sky tonight is gloomy. The moon wasn't there nor the stars. They were all hidden by the dark clouds as some thunder and lightning conquer the sky.

You were inside of the bathroom, in front of the mirror, looking at your reflection. Your h/c hair was a little bit messy caused by the shower. Your naked body was somehow covered by the fog of the hot bath however, the scar just below your right breast is seen, it was just a blurted image however, you knew very well what it was.

That mark was a nightmare of yours. It was a reminder of the hardship that you experienced when your parents died. You were from a noble family too however, your extended family stole all that your parents have when they died, leaving you nothing at all. They have put a mark on your body, a mark that they said will remind you that they owned you. They treat you like a slave, they let you live in their manor but for an exchange, you have to work as a maid in that house which was yours before.

A knock from the door woke you from that memory. Your heard it opened as you grab the silky robe so that you can put it on.

"Hey, love, what's taking you long?" You heard the baritone voice of Sebastian, your lover for almost five years now. Both of you met in his mission. To eliminate your greedy relatives and somehow, the  Moriarties took you in. You serve them by helping them in their mission.

"I just enjoyed the warm bath." You lied to Sebastian as you walk towards him. He stared at you as you have him a small smile.

"I will just change, okay?"

"It's fine if you don't wear anything.." he replied to you with his usual tone that makes you laugh.

"No, the last time that happened, I cannot walk properly the next morning."

You walk near the vanity mirror to where your closet was to get your nightgown. You heard Sebastian steps as he followed you around and a dragging noise of the chair as he slumps in front of the vanity mirror.

You reach for the knot of your robe but before you could remove the knot, Sebastian's large hand grab your left hand. He surprised you with his actions. He pulled you on his lap, forcing you to sit on him.

"Wh-what are you doing? You surprised me!" You said to him, your right hand was on your chest as you felt it beat so fast from what he did.

"Hmm, sorry love." He murmured to you as he removes the robe from your shoulders. The silk smoothly went down, leaving your upper extremities exposed to him. He looked at your eyes as he put his head down, to your breast. You thought that he will kiss you there but you gasped when he kissed your mark, the burnt that became scar.

"What are you doing?" You asked trying to calm yourself, trying your best not to cry.

"I love every part of you.. the bright side, the dark side... Everything, because every part of you what makes you.." he said putting a feathery kiss again. Sebastian knows what you feel about the scars. It reminds you of your dark times but hearing those words, gives warmth to your heart...

"I'm so in love with you, of what you become.. a strong, independent woman.." he whispered as he brought his lips to yours. " And I am so willing to mark you, and be marked by you.."
