manon is standing, exhausted, lost in her thoughts, still practicing. she sighs in exhaustion, taking a deep breath when suddenly she feels strong, muscular, unfamiliar arms wrap around her waist.
she immediately stiffed, trying to push him off. ❝What are you doing? Get off. ❞
jake's voice was steady, warm, and gentle. ❝Hey... relax. I'm not here to hurt you. ❞
manon was forceful, trying again to push away. ❝ I said move. Now. ❞
his voice was soft, almost teasing, keeping his hold careful but firm. ❝i can't. You need a second to breathe, and I'm making sure you take it. ❞
she gritted her teeth, voice sharp. ❝I don't need you to make sure of anything. Step back. ❞
he was quiet, warm, brushing against her with calm persistence. ❝You've been at this for hours. You're not fine, and you know it. ❞
she tried pushing him away harder but her resolve is crumbling. ❝You think you can fix this? Just leave me alone.❞
he speaks softly, low, almost a whisper against her ear. ❝I'm not fixing you. I'm just... here. Holding you. That's it. Just one moment to catch your breath. ❞
manon was still resisting, teeth clenched. ❝One moment... is too long. Step off before I-❞
jake sighed, but it wasn't annoyed.
it was calm, warm, unyielding, and somewhat comforting. ❝You won't hurt me. I can hold this. You just... breathe. Just for me. Just for now. ❞
