“To sell to the butcher in town so I have money to live and eat.”
“What about your family?”
“I have none… Red I am homeless, born to a prostitute who is long dead so I escaped before they could sell me to the clients. Some of the other prostitutes helped me.”
“Oh… I’m sorry… It must be really hard to live on the streets.”
“I get by doing things like this and the money also helps me pay for some of my fights too.”
“What fights?”
“Cage fighting Red, I earn enough to keep me going. Now, I have to get going.”
“Will I see you again?”
“Why would you want to see me?”
“I’ve never had a friend.”
“I don’t think your Papa would approve of me, Red.”
“I don’t care what he thinks, I would like to be friends with you Bear.”
“My name isn’t Bear.”
“My name isn’t Red either so I’m calling you Bear and that’s that.”
“Okay Red, I’ll see you Friday. Come to the woods at the same time and I’ll find you.”
“Okay Bear, see you Friday.”
“Yeah, Friday Red.”
Bear reaches down and hauls the deer onto his back. He strolls off into the woods, not looking back once.
I snap out of my memory and run into Bear’s arms, squeezing him so tight he starts chuckling at me. I can’t believe he’s safe, when he didn’t turn up after a close encounter with my Papa’s men. The last time we had met, about three years after our first encounter, I was sure they had caught him. Maybe even killed him, because Bear wouldn’t leave me like that.
“Bear, I’m so glad you’re alive.” I sob into his huge chest, while he runs his huge hand gently over my hair.
“Red, you don’t know how glad I am to see you again. I had to flee after the last time we met but I never forgot my promise. I came back for you, but you had vanished, people were saying you were missing but I thought he had actually killed you. I was heartbroken and blamed myself for not coming back sooner.”
He squeezes me really tight, and I let out a squeal because it’s too tight.
“Sorry Red, still don’t know my own strength,” he says releasing me and chuckling down at me.
“I thought he had caught and killed you, my god, I sobbed for days.”
“What the fuck is going on here? Misha take your goddamn hands off my future wife.”
Bear and I pull away from each other and I look over to Kai. He looks like he’s going to kill Bear and I can’t have that. I pat Bear on the chest and saunter over to Kai. I run my hands down his chest and I can feel the anger radiating from him like a geyser about to explode. I go onto my tip toes and Kai responds by leaning his head down to my height.
“Do you not like the dress, Kai? I was hoping you would. I love it but maybe it doesn’t look as good on me as I thought. You see, I pictured you untying my corset and the dress falling to a puddle on the floor. Of course I wouldn’t have any underwear on, so I would be naked, ready for your sadistic desires.”
I lower myself to the ground and go to turn and walk away, but Kai is quicker grabbing me in a tight grip around my neck. He positions my head so I’m looking directly at him then smiles sadistically at me.
“I want to rip that fucking dress right off you my Little Vixen, you have no idea how utterly beautiful you are. You look so fucking sexy I want to gouge every man’s eyes out in this room for seeing you in this dress. You are mine do you fucking understand, FUCKING MINE!”
I have no clue why his violent words turn me on, but they do. This is Kai’s form of desire and I wanted that, didn’t I? I slam my lips to his in a wanton show of lust. I want him to want me, but I know he will never love me. I suppose until I find a way out, I will have to put up with that knowledge. Kai deepens the kiss as he usually does by fucking my mouth with his tongue. Damn, this man knows how to kiss. Kai breaks the kiss and I whimper in protest.
