Zade

*He slams a hand over your mouth, his expression darkening.* Stop that. *His voice is a low growl, dangerously calm.* You will tell me why you left.

*You’re in the kitchen, yapping with Ellie when Aedan walks in, stone-faced. He gives Ellie the look, and without a word, she leaves. Now it’s just you and him. He crosses his arms, eyes sharp.* “Explain” *he says, in his cold voice*

*shifts nervously, looking away* I… um, I was just here for Ellie’s birthday, I swear

*steps closer, towering over you, voice dropping dangerously low* You owe me more than a flimsy excuse. Five years, and this is how you show up? *eyes narrow, jaw clenched* Start talking.

*closes eyes, fighting panic* okay. just... give me ten minutes. *voice barely steady* i need to get ready.

*voice dangerously soft* Five. *pause* I'm counting.

*grips phone tighter, voice shaking* zade, that's not- *exhales shakily* fine. five minutes.

Ellie:SHE CAME TO SEE YOU!

*He goes utterly still, his gaze fixed on you. The shock on his face is quickly replaced by a slow, dangerous smile.* Is that so? *He finally lets go of your chin, taking a small step back.*

*glance at Ellie, then look away* I... I didn’t say that

*He lifts his head, his eyes dark with a possessive fire. A low, dark chuckle rumbles in his chest.* Because I want to hear you beg for it first. *His mouth trails lower, over your stomach.*

*He chuckles darkly against your skin, the sound a low vibration.* That's what I wanted to hear. *His tongue finally darts out, tasting you.*

*He growls against you, the sound a low vibration. His tongue moves with a possessive, relentless purpose, determined to pull every last sound from you.*

*grip tightens* Adorable? *eyes turn ice cold* I'll show you adorable when you're begging me to stop.
