            [  he knew better than to show her attitude, which is why he sunk his teeth into his tongue. Eyebrows lowered over his eyes, as if shielding his gaze as it followed her movements, graceful as ever, dangerous as ever. The Russian took a deep breath in, his eyes briefly closing before he'd reopen them to look at her. ]  oh, now she's making things up. Threaten a woman? What do you take me for? [  Levi asked in a slight offended tone, and with his hands tucked behind his back he approached her desk, scanning the scattered documents after the meeting closed in a slight rush. Because of him. He couldn't fight a proud grin from his face, knowing that its because of him. He picked a paper up and examined it, but spoke words unrelated to the print  ]  as for the really important meeting... I must say I'm glad it ended so soon [  he opened his palm and the paper slipped like a feather on her desk  ] my eyes may have deceived me but he did seem too.. eager for your approval [ his pale eyes tilted to her, watching how she swaddled the papers like a child squeezing a toy. It made him uneasy knowing she was alone here, with him, these four walls firmer than any temple]
            
            Tell me: what was this meeting about?

@FANGEDFXCK    ( … )      [     anastasia   rolled   her   eyes,   shaking   her   head   as   she   picked   up   a   wad   of   papers   from   her   desk,   tucking   them   neatly   against   her   chest.      ]     my   assistant   isn’t   stupid.   she   was   doing   her   job,   which   includes   not   allowing   anyone   to   disturb   me   when   I’m   trying   to   have   an   important   meeting   with   a   client.   that   includes   / you /,   levi.    [      she   pointed   out,   shooting   him   an   unimpressed   look,   her   heels   clicking   as   she   walked.      ]       she   said   you   fucking   / threatened /   her   if   she   didn’t   let   you   in.   what’s   really   / that /   important,   that   it   couldn’t   wait ? 

⠀⠀⠀    ⠀ he could hear the dial tone. a connection made to whoever it rang, and before the other end of the line could be answered, jealousy tore through his chest. rurik crossed the room within seconds and snatched the cellphone from her hands.           deliberate iciness seeped out of him as he hit ‘end,’ cutting the call short, before tossing the phone onto her bed. his chest burned, and he waited a second before reaching for anastasia. uncertain of what he wanted to do, yet at the same time his mind burned with the urge to keep her locked away somewhere she would remain closest to him.
            
            ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ “lying straight through your teeth. then playing pretend. you think i’m daft?”      a molten bolt of anger bled through his deep voice as he locked his fingers around both her wrists, turning them and curling them behind her back.        the action drew her closer, bringing anastasia flush against his chest, allowing him to pin her in place. it felt right, then wrong. a constant siege of heat berated his thoughts, driving his muscles into an unforgiving overdrive.
            
            ⠀⠀⠀  ⠀ “why?”    the reaper deadpanned, bringing his nose to hers and levelling their gazes.    “is it because i haven’t confessed to you? or because i frighten you? which is it?”       it ached. it scorched his lungs to breathe without her, and every second away from her left rurik taut, restless, and unmoored.

@hyrded     ( … )         I’m   not   pushing   you   away.      [        though   she    seemed   to   be   proving   the   complete   opposite.   anastasia   was   stubborn.   an   infuriatingly   stubborn   woman,   but   he   was   equally   as   bad.   most   men   would   have   walked   away   by   now,   sick   of   her   antics,   her   dedication   to   her   work,   and   the   secrets   she   held.   but   he   was   no   ordinary   man.   
            
                   the   romanian   woman   avoided   his   gaze,   marching   around   the   room   as   if   she   were   on   a   mission,   picking   up   various   items   and   placing   it   in   her   suitcase,   that   remained   open   on   the   bed.   her   fingers   tapped   at   her   phone,   dialling   a   number   and   bringing   it   up   to   her   ear,   foot   tapping   impatiently.        ] 

@hyrded    ( … )      [        the   brunette   rose   her   eyebrow   as   she   glanced   over   at   him,   the   corners   of   her   mouth   lifting   up   into   a   somewhat   amused   smile,   despite   the   situation.   she   tucked   her   dagger   into   the   inside   pocket   of   her   jacket,   rolling    her   shoulders.       ]       then   I   will   be   the   bait.   it   will   give   you   the   perfect   opportunity   to   get   what   you   need.       [       she   responded,   pursing   her   lips.     ]       just   tell   me   what   I   need   to   know   about   these   demons,   and   I’ll   be   prepared. 

@hyrded    ( … )      [        the   romanian  woman   let   the   devilish   smile   paint   her   lips   as   she   tilted   her   head   up   at   him,   a   low,   sensual   hum   leaving   her   lips.   her   back   brushed   against   the   wall   behind   her,   but   she   barely   comprehended   that   in   comparison   to   their   proximity.   his   arms   caged   her   in,   keeping   her   close   enough   that   she   could   smell   the   cologne   on   his   skin   and   see   the   small   crease   of   his   brow.   one   of   her   hands   rested   upon   the   firearm   strapped   to   her   thigh,   the   other   rested   on   her   hip.      ]      I   forget   nothing,   draga.   but   sue   me   for   enjoying   myself.   you   can’t   deny   that   you’re   enjoying   it   too.   after   all…     [       her    voice    lowered   to   a   taunting   whisper.     ]       you’re   the   one   that   put   me   in   this   position   in   the   first   place. 
              
            /    LOVEEE !   I’m   sorry   if   my   replies   aren’t   as   long / are   as   good   as   they   ( hopefully )   used   to   be !   I   haven’t   properly   written   for   anastasia   for   ages !   btw   how   are   you   m’love ?   < 33

                      she laughed in triumph ,   propping an elbow on the table ,   and resting her chin in the palm of that same hand .     "   you'd defy a demon ?   are you certain that information is worth the consequences that comes with that ?   "

@temptisms     ( … )     you   caught   me.      [        the   brunette   hummed,   a   gleam   within   her   eyes   as   she   analysed   the   other   carefully.   her   finger   tapped   on   the   desk   in   front   of   her.      ]      the   same   as   everyone   else.   information.   I   have   a   big   clientele,   you   see.   but   I’m   afraid,   draga,   that   that   information   remains   confidential.

                      "   hm ,   i imagine you say that to everyone who has no desire to buy what you're selling .   "     she quipped with a short laugh ,   before she too leaned back .     "   what is it you think i want ?   "

@ocyeaniks    ( … )     [      anastasia   rose   her   eyebrow,   a   smirk   curling   on   the   edges   of   her   lips   as    she   lowered   the   custom-made   firearm   in   her   hand.       ]       sylvester   laurier.   I’m   fairly   certain   you   owe   me   money,   draga   ( darling ).
