00:00...my bounty placed on him.
00:02Later, he traps me in his room as I fade in and out of consciousness, drowning in his presence.
00:15He holds my hand and aims my gun at himself with a chuckle.
00:19You're shaking so badly.
00:26Can you even keep your gun steady?
00:30I was on the phone when Dominic's cell phone came out of a club.
00:33My boss sent me his details, which I glanced through.
00:36Then, I calmly rejected the job.
00:39Nope, I'm not doing this one.
00:41You know him.
00:43I chuckled.
00:44I slept with him.
00:45He was silent for a few seconds.
00:47Then, he said,
00:49I'll pay you double the bounty.
00:50I raised an eyebrow and looked at the astronomical sum.
00:54Deal.
00:54I ended the call and strode toward Dominic.
00:57He was tall and imposing in his impeccable suit, and countless people tried to hit on me even as he
01:03stood there.
01:04He turned them down one after the other, faltering when he saw me.
01:07Then, his gaze landed on my exposed chest.
01:10There was a bite mark there.
01:12My last target had left it.
01:13Too bad he was now money in my pocket.
01:16Dominic's gaze turned cold as he stared fixedly at the bite mark.
01:20His phone screen was lit up.
01:21He'd probably been texting his men.
01:23I accidentally saw one of the messages.
01:25I didn't pay it much mind.
01:28Instead, I leaned in and wrapped my arms around his neck, asking saucily,
01:32Want to leave with me?
01:34He looked down at me.
01:35I knew he'd been searching for me since I'd up and left without a word after sleeping with him the
01:40last time.
01:41But I'd never appeared.
01:43I didn't want to get involved with ordinary people.
01:45It was too troublesome.
01:47It was why I only slept with my targets I could kill them after having my fun.
01:52I'd have a good time, and I'd get paid for it too.
01:55So, I tightened my arms around his neck and kissed him as we plunged into the darkness.
02:00The smell of tobacco lingered between our lips,
02:02and the sound of our belts clashing together rang out sharply in the dark alley.
02:06I could clearly feel his arousal, which only made me more reckless and provocative.
02:12His hands gripped my waist with bruising force,
02:15pulling me flush against him as the kiss turned raw and demanding.
02:19Our tongues tangled hungrily,
02:21his hips rolling against mine in slow, deliberate thrusts
02:25that sent sparks of pleasure through me.
02:27He pressed me harder into the shadows,
02:29the cool night air useless against the heat building between us.
02:32Suddenly, Dominic pulled back, picked up the dropped gun,
02:36and used the cold metal butt to lift my chin,
02:39forcing my eyes to meet his.
02:40The icy barrel pressed against my jaw,
02:43as his thumb brushed roughly over my swollen lip.
02:46He bit my lower lip,
02:51sucking it into his mouth with a possessive growl.
02:54His free hand kneaded my ass,
02:56lifting me so I could feel every hard inch of him grinding against me in insistent rhythm.
03:03Dominic was hard for me,
03:04but he pushed me away anyway.
03:06The gun was loaded, pressed against my chin.
03:09Dominic's voice was low and restrained.
03:11I won't be the other man.
03:14You know I don't have anyone in my life.
03:16I tiptoed and leaned in,
03:18nibbling on his earlobe as I whispered lazily.
03:21It's just a night of fun, isn't it?
03:23He didn't look much happier after I said that,
03:30but I knew he wouldn't turn me down.
03:32Sure enough, he pinned me to the wall,
03:34his eyes dark and unfathomable.
03:36He looked like he wanted to rip me to pieces.
03:39After a long while, he laughed softly.
03:42Don't regret this.
03:45Dominic's villa was far out in the suburbs.
03:48Under the pale moonlight,
03:49broken sounds shattered the quiet of the night.
03:52Enough.
03:53Dominic leaned close to my ear.
03:56What?
03:57I gasped for breath and gripped his arms as I trembled.
04:00I said, enough.
04:02He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head,
04:05looking down at me imperiously as he rasped.
04:08This is far from enough.
04:11Like I was floating in an ocean without anything to support me.
04:15He was the only piece of driftwood I could cling to.
04:18He moved with relentless intensity,
04:20his body covering mine completely,
04:23skin sliding hot and slick against skin,
04:25as he drove deeper into the rhythm that had me shaking uncontrollably.
04:29Every powerful thrust sent waves of overwhelming pleasure crashing through me,
04:34my back arching off the sheets,
04:37legs wrapping tightly around his waist to pull him even closer.
04:41Sweat glistened on our bodies under the moonlight,
04:43our breaths mingling in harsh pants and broken moans.
04:46His mouth claimed every inch of exposed skin sucking,
04:50biting,
04:51licking along my neck,
04:53collarbone,
04:53and chest,
04:54leaving fresh marks that burn deliciously.
04:57He shifted angles deliberately,
04:59hitting spots that made stars explode behind my eyes,
05:02his free hand roaming possessively over my curves,
05:06squeezing and stroking until I was writhing beneath him,
05:09lost in the relentless build of sensation.
05:11The bed creaked under our combined weight as he took me harder, faster,
05:16his low groans mixing with my desperate cries,
05:19the pleasure bordering on too much yet never enough.
05:22It sounded like I was about to cry as I wailed.
05:26I'm dying,
05:27Dominic.
05:28He finally stopped and fixed a burning gaze on my face.
05:31I shut my eyes as I tried to catch my breath,
05:34but I secretly felt around for my gun,
05:37wrapping a hand around the barrel.
05:38I had to end this quickly.
05:40Otherwise,
05:41at this rate,
05:42I wouldn't just fail the job I'd die under his ministrations.
05:46I rolled Dominic under me and leaned down to kiss him.
05:48He let out a low laugh and asked,
05:51Are you going to kill me now?
05:53I froze.
05:54There wasn't time to think I whipped out my gun.
05:57He easily caught me and disarmed me in seconds.
06:00When he saw that there was only one bullet,
06:02he laughed again.
06:04You sure are confident, Mr. Assassin.
06:07I'm confiscating this.
06:11This was the first time I'd messed up in my career as an assassin.
06:15For a second,
06:25countless ways to die flashed in my mind.
06:28Questions overwhelmed me,
06:29but I couldn't voice a single one.
06:37Dominic wasn't pleased with my distraction.
06:39He bit my neck.
06:40I winced from the pain.
06:42I struggled and resisted,
06:44but he easily overpowered me.
06:45He flipped me back beneath him effortlessly,
06:48his weight pressing me into the mattress
06:50as he resumed his merciless pace,
06:52hips snapping forward with renewed force.
06:55The intensity made my entire body tremble and clench.
06:58Waves of ecstasy rolling through me so strongly
07:01that tears pricked at the corners of my eyes.
07:04His hands held me down,
07:05one pinning my wrists,
07:06the other gripping my thigh to spread me wider,
07:09allowing him to sink even deeper,
07:11grinding in circles that had me gasping and moaning uncontrollably.
07:15Every movement was possessive and consuming,
07:17his mouth devouring mine between thrusts,
07:20his chest rubbing against my sensitive skin with every breath.
07:24The pleasure built higher and higher,
07:26coiling tight in my core until I felt like I might shatter,
07:30my nails digging into his back as I clung to him desperately.
07:33After being dragged back into the whirlpool of his dominance,
07:36I vaguely felt him stuff my gun into my hand again.
07:40However, I didn't have the strength to lift it.
07:42Dominic kissed my fingers and pressed the barrel to his chest,
07:45where his heart was.
07:46His body and lips were merciless as he said,
07:50You're shaking so badly.
07:51Can you even keep your gun steady?
07:53My hand shook and the gun clattered to the floor.
07:56He ignored it and trapped me in his arms.
07:59His phone was still buzzing.
08:00The screen lit up.
08:02My blood ran cold.
08:03The message was from a number I recognized instantly,
08:06yet it was addressed to Dominic with professional deference.
08:09Dominic's dark chuckle vibrated against my back
08:12as he pulled me tightly against him.
08:13He raised the gun and used the cold barrel to tilt my face toward him,
08:18forcing me to meet his hungry gaze.
08:20Looks like you're all mine now, kitten.
08:23His thumb brushed my lower lip while the gun stayed pressed under my jaw.
08:28My sweet, treacherous little plaything.
08:33Looking back, things were amiss from the first time I met Dominic.
08:37Back then, I was...
08:45I was still green at the job and had been badly injured.
08:48I'd also yet to develop a habit of sleeping with my targets.
08:51I sauntered into a barn,
08:53my black clothes concealing the blood on me perfectly.
08:56I drank myself half to death,
08:58feeling brooding and pessimistic.
09:00I couldn't help but think that my life was over.
09:03Being an assassin wasn't glamorous,
09:04and I kept getting injured.
09:06People kept trying to hit on me.
09:08I lounged lazily with a faint smile on my face,
09:12looking like a fragile little thing.
09:14No one knew I did the dirtiest, deadliest work in the world.
09:17I was annoyed, but I didn't let it show.
09:20Instead, I deliberately put on a show of pouring something into my drink,
09:24while smiling mischievously, saying,
09:26There's poison in here.
09:28You'll die if you drink it.
09:30They wanted to sleep with me,
09:31but they didn't even have the nerve to touch the glass because of my words,
09:35whether true or false.
09:36I wasn't bored because all the while,
09:38I sensed someone lurking in the shadows.
09:40Their eyes locked on me.
09:42Their gaze was blunt and searing,
09:44and I could hardly miss it.
09:45I barely had to wait before he showed himself in front of me.
09:48He picked up the glass and downed the liquor.
09:50The rim hit the counter with a clatter.
09:53The polished surface caught clean, sharp features.
09:56He looked down and said softly,
09:57Your wounds will faster if you don't get them treated soon.
10:01I saw the desire roiling beneath the layer of ice in his eyes.
10:04He and I were of the same kind,
10:05so of course we slept together.
10:09That night, the heat between us ignited instantly.
10:12His hands were everywhere strong and possessive,
10:15roaming over my body as he pinned me against the hotel bed.
10:18Our mouths crashed together in a fierce, devouring kiss,
10:21tongues tangling hungrily while his hips ground against mine
10:24with slow, deliberate pressure that made me gasp into his mouth.
10:28He stripped away our clothes with impatient tugs,
10:31his bare skin scorching hot against mine as he moved over me.
10:35Every touch was electrical.
10:37His mouth trailed down my neck, sucking and biting hard enough to leave marks,
10:41while his hands gripped my thighs, spreading them wide so he could press closer.
10:45He took me with deep, relentless rolls of his hips,
10:48each powerful thrust sending waves of intense pleasure crashing through my body.
10:53I arched and moaned beneath him,
10:55nails raking down his back as sweat-slicked skin slid together.
10:59He drove into me harder, faster,
11:01his low groans mixing with my breathless cries,
11:04until the pleasure built to an overwhelming peak that left me shaking and crying out,
11:09completely lost in the raw intensity of it all.
11:11By the next morning, I was gone.
11:14My wounds had been treated, and I was clean.
11:16I'd never felt so good before.
11:19It was a shame, but I didn't want to have anything to do with regular people.
11:23So I left a note and a bank card.
11:25The note was a farewell, and the bank card was his remuneration.
11:29It was a polite and detached move.
11:31I thought our paths would never cross again,
11:34until a few months down the road,
11:36when my boss issued me a new mission to assassinate a mafia boss
11:39with an astronomical bounty on him.
11:42The face that had stared back at me was Dominic's.
11:46When I woke up, I felt like my body was falling apart.
11:49I knew Dominic was no simpleton,
11:51but I didn't expect him to be this crazy.
11:53I lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
11:55My legs gave out the moment I stood up,
11:57and I fell to the floor.
11:59My body was marked everywhere.
12:06And a thin chain snaked around my ankle.
12:08It connected to a spot beneath the bed.
12:11I tugged on it and snorted.
12:13Is this a captivity kink?
12:15Dominic's voice boomed from out of nowhere.
12:18You're up.
12:19Breakfast is on the table.
12:21Do you feel okay?
12:22I turned to see a surveillance camera aiming right at me.
12:27He hadn't even tried to hide it.
12:29I grabbed the blanket and pulled it over my body
12:32while pointing at the chain.
12:34Explain this.
12:35Dominic's voice sounded unbelievably calm
12:38as it came from the surveillance camera.
12:40It looks good.
12:41I was baffled.
12:43Then I narrowed my eyes and my expression turned icy.
12:46Dominic's tone shifted as he added.
12:52Yes.
12:53I've taken you as my prisoner.
12:55I was at a loss for words.
12:57Thanks.
12:58But I didn't need him to state the obvious.
13:00His voice sounded a little glum.
13:02It's the oldest story in the book.
13:04The evil dragon falls in love with the princess.
13:08But she doesn't belong to him.
13:10So, he locks her in an ivory tower,
13:12making sure that she can never leave.
13:15I said coolly.
13:16The princess ultimately gets saved by the prince, though.
13:19He chuckled.
13:20My story doesn't come with a prince.
13:22In other words,
13:23he was confident he could keep me locked up in here forever.
13:27I snorted and said sarcastically,
13:30I don't like you, Dominic.
13:33What's the point of you doing this?
13:35He was unfazed.
13:36Is that so?
13:39You felt so good.
13:47Good that you cried last night, though.
13:50Or was I mistaken?
13:51Once again, I'm...
13:55Dominic was tall and handsome.
13:57Could anyone keep themselves from getting turned on by such a striking face and body?
14:01For once, I didn't clap back.
14:05Initially, I clung to a shred of hope that this was just one of Dominic's whims.
14:10He would let me go once he was tired of me in the game.
14:13Three days later, all my things were packed neatly and dropped off at the villa.
14:18A week later, everything in the house started coming in pairs.
14:22A month later, Dominic opened my door while holding a pillow.
14:26You've had a month to process this.
14:29Have you accepted reality yet?
14:31I had nothing to say.
14:32I had indeed accepted reality, thank you very much.
14:36I backed away when I saw his eyes darken with lust.
14:39Hold on.
14:40I think I might need more time to process this.
14:43Dominic pressed his body to mine.
14:46Talk to him.
14:47Not me.
14:48His hard, heated body pinned me against the wall instantly.
14:51The familiar, overwhelming presence making my breath hitch.
14:56One large hand gripped my waist while the other slid up to cup the back of my neck,
15:00tilting my head as his mouth claimed mine in a deep, possessive kiss.
15:04His tongue pushed past my lips, stroking and tasting with hungry dominance as his hips rolled forward,
15:11grinding against me with slow, deliberate pressure
15:13that sent sparks of pleasure shooting through my veins.
15:17I could feel every inch of his arousal pressing insistently against my body, hot and demanding.
15:23His free hand roamed lower, squeezing and kneading my ass,
15:28pulling me tighter against him so the friction built with every subtle thrust of his hips.
15:33The kiss turned fiercer, wetter teeth grazing my lip,
15:37sucking it into his mouth as low growls vibrated from his chest into mine.
15:41Heat pooled deep inside me, my skin flushing and tingling wherever he touched,
15:47my body already responding helplessly to his relentless dominance.
15:51I didn't accept that I was starting to love his body, to love every single one of his kisses.
15:57So, I started a daily routine of attempting to assassinate Dominic.
16:01The first time, I hid a dagger behind me, wanting to kill him in one strike when his guard was
16:07down.
16:07I ended up being pinned to the table as he slashed my clothes open with the dagger.
16:11The iciness of the table and the dagger made me jolt.
16:15Wait, I can explain.
16:16Dominic tapped his cheek.
16:18Huh?
16:18He shot me a look.
16:20Kiss me, and I'll forgive you.
16:23My jaw dropped.
16:24Then I shakily kissed him.
16:26It was humiliating, but I couldn't take him in a fight.
16:29His body pressed heavily against mine on the cold table,
16:33the torn edges of my clothes falling open to expose my skin to his burning gaze.
16:38Dominic's hands roamed possessively over my bare chest,
16:42squeezing and stroking with rough hunger as he deepened the kiss,
16:45his tongue invading my mouth while his hips ground slowly and deliberately between my thighs.
16:50The contrast of the icy table against my back and his scorching heat made me shiver and arch involuntarily,
16:58pleasure sparking through every nerve as he rocked harder against me,
17:01his mouth trailing hot.
17:03Wet kisses down my neck and biting at my collarbone.
17:06The second time, I reflected on my mistakes and opted for the poison route.
17:11I used the poison that I kept for extreme situations.
17:14A tiny drop would instantly make one froth at the mouth.
17:18I made sure to lace the wine with it beforehand,
17:21and I smiled gently as I watched him pick up his glass and hold it to his lips.
17:26When he paused, my heart shot to my throat.
17:29What's wrong?
17:30He laughed.
17:32You know there are surveillance cameras in the room, right?
17:35I was silent for a moment.
17:36Then, I slowly looked up with a smile that didn't meet my eyes.
17:40Isn't that for show?
17:42Down the glass, drawling.
17:44There are real simple places you can't see.
17:47I clenched my fists and downed my drink, which I hadn't poisoned.
17:51After a moment, I tugged at my collar.
17:54Why's it getting so warm?
17:56His eyes darkened, and he said huskily,
17:58I put something in your drink, too.
18:01I tried to fight back my body's reaction, but I panted as I snarled.
18:05I'm going to kill you, Dominic.
18:07He tapped the corner of his lips, unruffled.
18:10Kiss me, and I'll give you the antidote.
18:13Damn him.
18:14I would remember this.
18:15I needed to get the antidote first.
18:18I glared at him and reluctantly gave him a peck on the lips.
18:22Dominic's lips slowly curved into a smile.
18:25Then, he bent down and scooped me up.
18:27The drug hit me like liquid fire spreading through my veins.
18:31My skin felt hypersensitive.
18:33Every brush of fabric or air sending jolts of aching beads straight to my core.
18:38Dominic carried me effortlessly.
18:40His strong arms wrapped around me as his mouth found my neck again,
18:43sucking and licking while I writhed against him.
18:46My body was burning.
18:47Hips instinctively rolling against his solid frame, desperate for more friction.
18:52By the time he tossed me onto the bed, I was already moaning softly,
18:56legs parting as he loomed over me,
18:58his hands sliding under the remains of my clothes to caress and grip my heated skin.
19:03You said you'd give me the antidote, Dominic.
19:07You're a liar!
19:08He smacked me on the backside.
19:10Stop moving.
19:11It's the same if I act as your antidote.
19:14When he tossed me onto the bed, I only had one thought in mind.
19:18I was doomed.
19:20He covered me completely, his weight pinning me down as he kissed me deeply,
19:24tongues tangling while his hips thrust rhythmically against mine,
19:28building an unbearable heat and pressure.
19:30His hands explored every inch of my body squeezing my chest,
19:34pinching sensitive spots,
19:35sliding down to grip my thighs and spread them wider so he could grind harder, faster.
19:41Sweat slicked our skin as I gasped and moaned beneath him,
19:45the drug amplifying every touch into overwhelming waves of pleasure
19:50that made my back arch and toes curl.
19:53Dominic had imprisoned me, restricted my rights,
19:56broken his promises, and gone back on his word.
19:59His vile deeds were too numerous to list.
20:02I swore I would take him down.
20:04I had to kill him.
20:06After trying and failing multiple times, I switched tactics.
20:10I lay in wait at night for a surprise ambush.
20:14Dominic came home drunk, which was rare.
20:17His guard was down, so I managed to pin him to the floor before straddling him.
20:22I wrapped my hands around his neck and slowly tightened my grip.
20:26Where's my gun?
20:27I snarled, my grip relentless.
20:30I didn't hold back.
20:31He started finding it hard to breathe.
20:33His fingers twitched upward at me.
20:35I looked down at where he pointed and frowned.
20:38What does that mean?
20:39I asked you where my gun-
20:41Something clicked in my mind.
20:42Then, I snapped.
20:44What the hell is wrong with you, Dominic?
20:46I'd seen plenty in my life, but no one had ever toyed with me like this.
20:49For a moment, I was both angry and embarrassed.
20:52It was all Dominic's fault for being so sick in the head.
20:55He'd infected me with his insanity.
20:58His Adam's apple quivering as if he were laughing.
21:00I tightened my grip further and threatened him in a low voice.
21:03You don't know what it's like to suffocate.
21:16Dominic's expression finally shifted and his voice grew strained.
21:20He was on the brink of death.
21:22Suddenly, he laughed.
21:24He slowly lifted his hands and pried my fingers off his throat, interlacing them with his before
21:29yanking me to it.
21:30I was caught off guard and pulled so close that he could press his lips to my ear.
21:35His voice was hoarse and dripping with an odd sense of satisfaction.
21:39It feels so damn good.
21:40Even in that moment, with my hands around his throat, the position had me straddling his
21:46hips, our bodies pressed intimately together.
21:49As he yanked me down, his mouth claimed mine in a fierce, hungry kiss, his hips bucking up
21:55against me with raw need.
21:58His free hand gripped my ass, pulling me down harder so I could feel every thick, insistent
22:05ridge of his arousal grinding against my most sensitive areas through our phone.
22:10The kiss turned sloppy and desperate, his tongue dominating mine while he rocked me against
22:16him in a steady, filthy rhythm that had me whimpering into his mouth despite me seeing.
22:21Heat flooded my body as pleasure sparked with every roll of his hips, my own body betraying
22:29me and moving with him, chasing the overwhelming friction.
22:33The moment Dominic let go of me, I ducked aside and looked down at my hands without saying a
22:38word.
22:39He was so sick.
22:40Where had things gone wrong?
22:42He looked at me, making me jolt.
22:44I couldn't stop myself from taking a step back.
22:47Why are you hiding?
22:48He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.
22:51Anyone else would already be six feet under for trying to kill me so many times.
22:56Have I ever done anything to you?
22:59Come here.
23:00I couldn't tell whether he was being like this because he was drunk or because of my multiple
23:09assassination attempts.
23:10If he got mad and wanted me dead, I scooted toward him and pecked him on the lips.
23:15I had to appease him first.
23:17I was willing to take this loss for now.
23:19I'd have plenty of time to kill him in the future.
23:22Dominic's eyes darkened as he rubbed my earlobe.
23:25He said huskily,
23:26That's a good boy.
23:28For some reason, the look in his eyes scared me.
23:32He braced both his arms on either side of me, tracing my features with his eyes.
23:37I couldn't really see the look on his face, but the atmosphere made my mouth dry.
23:41Get up.
23:42You're crushing me.
23:43He didn't seem to hear me.
23:45He buried his face in my neck.
23:47His voice strained as he mumbled.
23:49I'd have taken all you back with the first high time we met.
23:53If I'd known.
23:54I snorted inwardly and pushed his head away.
23:57Enough of this.
23:59Get up.
23:59I want to sleep.
24:01He probably only heard sleep.
24:02He moved over me with heavy, possessive weight, his hot mouth latching onto my neck as he sucked
24:07hard, leaving fresh marks while his hands slid under my clothes.
24:11His body pressed me down, hips rolling in slow, deliberate thrusts against mine, the
24:15friction building intense heat between us.
24:17Every grime made my breath hitch, my skin flushing as pleasure sparked through me.
24:22His fingers dug into my thighs, spreading them wider so he could rock harder, deeper,
24:27his low groans vibrating against my throat as sweat began to slick our bodies.
24:31I bolted as soon as he moved away, but he caught me and pinned me beneath him, finishing
24:36his sentence from before.
24:38It's okay.
24:39Catching you now is the same.
24:43Next day, I made a lock for the door.
24:45If I had enough materials, I'd even be able to make one with a remote detonator.
24:50During my time here, I'd sorted out everything that had happened.
24:56My boss had given me a job to assassinate Dominic, but it was a trap from the beginning.
25:01I knew he would do anything for money.
25:02He was probably already on an island vacation with his lover.
25:05I thought about Dominic's text.
25:07I smeared to myself.
25:08It turned out he'd already treated me as his prey from that moment.
25:11I'd been freed of the chain around my ankle on my second day here.
25:14I didn't think it was due to Dominic's non-existent conscience and morals.
25:17The confrariate because he had too much faith in his abilities.
25:20He was sure I wouldn't be able to escape.
25:22However, he had no idea that I would send one a secret code each time I completed a job.
25:26If I didn't send it, that would tell him that I was in danger.
25:28Judging by the time, that person should have returned from his island vacation by now.
25:32But for some reason, I wasn't that eager to leave anymore.
25:35I wanted to collect proper payment from Dominic.
25:37I knew he was always watching me.
25:39As he'd said, the surveillance camera in the living room was just for show.
25:42There were more of them hidden in corners that I couldn't see.
25:44I checked each room in the villa, finally confirming my suspicions in the room at the end of the hallway.
25:49After getting involved with Dominic, I discovered his secret, dark possessiveness.
25:57For example, he insisted on cleaning M-Selfie each time we slept together.
26:02He would also disappear for days and return covered in wounds.
26:05And now, this.
26:06A massive electronic screen embedded in the wall displayed countless surveillance feeds aimed at me.
26:11Photos of me from different moments and angles lined the walls.
26:14Some were so unfamiliar that I didn't even recognize myself in them.
26:17It was a chilling and unsettling scene, yet deep down I felt a sense of thrill and excitement.
26:22Since Dominic wanted to lock me up, I could play along.
26:27Unfortunately, I wasn't his prey.
26:29The one who'd fallen first was and so, I wanted to tame him and make him kneel at my feet
26:33first.
26:34My gaze landed on his face and trailed down his Adam's bowl, his chest, and lower still.
26:38He was injured again.
26:41Blood soaked through his clothes, the metallic scent sharp and overwhelming.
26:45However, it was as if he felt nothing.
26:47He didn't even wince as his hands continued to move.
26:49I was silent for a moment before sneering.
26:51Dominic, are you a freak or a masochist?
26:54Dominic didn't answer me.
26:55He let me tie his hands, looking relaxed as he sat there.
26:58How at his goes was dark, and his voice was harny.
27:00Are you mad?
27:01I went confused.
27:02Why would I be?
27:04People are usually frightened when they see something like this.
27:07He stared at me.
27:09Then, he said softly,
27:11We're the same kind.
27:12I couldn't deny that, but I replied,
27:15I'm not exactly happy to hear you say-
27:17Dominic chuckled.
27:18Why, I can give you everything you want, whether it's power or status.
27:22As long as you want it, everything that I have is yours.
27:25There was no such thing as a free lunch.
27:27I scoffed and asked.
27:29And the price I have to pay?
27:31Stay.
27:33He looked at my ankle, and his gaze dimmed.
27:35The chain can't tie you down.
27:37I want you to stay on your own volition.
27:40You lied to me, and imprisoned me in this godforsaken place.
27:43Now you expect me to stay here willingly?
27:45Sorry, but nope.
27:46A trace of darkness flickered in Dominic's eyes.
27:49He has scars all over his body, some of which had faded with time.
27:53Now, new ones joined them.
27:56I looked at the blood all over him, and asked pointedly,
27:58Aren't you in pain?
28:00He didn't seem to care.
28:02He chuckled and said,
28:03An identity reveal will lead to countless assassination attempts.
28:06It comes with being a mafia boss.
28:08I snorted.
28:09Seem pretty proud of that.
28:10Your head's worth a lot now, and everyone wants it.
28:12This is just the beginning.
28:14Are you sure it's worth taking such a huge risk just to catch Dominic drawn?
28:18Desire creates weakness.
28:19That's something I learned from a young age.
28:21As for whether it's worth it, well, I'll collect every bit of it from you.
28:24My hand shook, and a certain part of my body throbbed dully.
28:28I took a step back and grimaced.
28:30It's for display only.
28:31You're not allowed to feed it anything.
28:33Dominic twisted his wrists, and the rope binding them silently fell to the floor.
28:37His gaze darkened.
28:40Request denied.
28:41I surged forward, capturing my mouth in a deep, devouring kiss as he pinned me against the wall.
28:47His hands roamed hungrily over my body, squeezing and stroking every curve,
28:51while his hips thrust forward, grinding with heavy, insistent pressure that made heat explode through me.
28:58He took me hard and fast, skin slapping against skin,
29:01his mouth moving to my neck to bite and suck as I moaned and clung to him.
29:05Every powerful roll of his hips sent waves of overwhelming pleasure crashing through my body
29:10until I was shaking, gasping, lost in the relentless rhythm.
29:17The following day, I woke up feeling sore again.
29:20I ran a hand through my hair in frustration
29:26and grabbed a pillow, throwing it at Dominic.
29:29What the hell do you want with me?
29:31He held a breakfast tray in one hand and caught the pillow with the other.
29:35When he saw that I was awake, he tilted his tray to show me something.
29:39I was just letting this say hi to you.
29:41At some point, he'd started cooking breakfast every morning and waking me up following a strict schedule.
29:46My nocturnal assassin days were long gone, and my sleep patterns had become erratic.
29:52I glared at my growling stomach and muttered,
29:54You're useless.
29:56It growled again, leaving me at a loss for words.
29:59Whatever.
30:00I need to eat before I can assassinate anyone.
30:03Honestly, it came as a surprise to me that a mafia boss would wear an apron while cooking.
30:08I noticed how meticulously he'd plated the food, and I saw his apron underneath there was a bunny on it.
30:13It was oddly endearing.
30:15Bunny.
30:16And I couldn't help but ask,
30:18Is this also the course of the course required for mafia bosses?
30:23Dominic wiped his mouth before smiling languidly.
30:26No, but it's a husband's required course.
30:30From today onward, you'll have something different for breakfast every day.
30:34I fell silent.
30:35I couldn't eat anymore.
30:37You'll succeed in anything with that sort of perseverance.
30:40I grabbed his phone, which he'd placed on the table.
30:43I'm ordering takeout.
30:45It can't get in here.
30:47Smiling, he walked over to me.
30:49I quickly wiped the traces of the message I'd just sent,
30:52and tossed the phone back at him like nothing had happened.
30:55Forget it, then.
30:56I can't even get takeout here.
30:58It's so boring.
30:59Dominic's gaze landed on the phone, and he asked casually,
31:03Do you want to go out?
31:04I asked in return.
31:05Can I?
31:06After a brief silence, he said softly,
31:09Of course.
31:09I raised an eyebrow, surprised that he'd agreed.
31:12He watched me for a while with his eyes fixed on my lips.
31:15He chuckled and said,
31:16You seem to enjoy everything you eat.
31:18I didn't even look at him.
31:19I'd appreciate it if you could act a little more normal when I'm eating.
31:22Dominic was a living example of how someone could toggle between being a human and a beast.
31:28As I returned to the room for a quick nap after breakfast, he followed closely.
31:33I found this outrageous.
31:34Dominic, keep this up and I'll die.
31:37Humans can't keep doing it.
31:38Or at least they shouldn't.
31:40The pink bunny loomed closer.
31:41Think of it as a way to digest your food.
31:44He went onto the bed, stripping away clothes with impatient hands, as he covered me with his body.
31:49His mouth claimed mine in a heated kiss while his hips drove forward, thrusting deep and rhythmically,
31:55each powerful movement making me arch and cry out.
31:58Sweat glistened on our skin as he took me harder,
32:01hands gripping my waist to angle me just right,
32:04sending sparks of intense pleasure through every inch of me,
32:07until I was trembling uncontrollably beneath him, moaning his name.
32:12That night, I came down with a high fever.
32:15I hadn't fallen sick since becoming an assassin.
32:18The last time I had a fever was when I was a child at the orphanage.
32:22I'd burned up after being stuck in the rain for a whole night.
32:25I secretly cursed Dominic for being a monster.
32:28He owned up to his mistakes.
32:30His voice laced with a rare tinge of guilt as he said,
32:33I'm sorry.
32:34A doctor came to check on me and left soon after.
32:37I didn't hear what he said.
32:39A Dominic dimmed the lights in the bedroom and sat by my bedside,
32:42gently stroking my face.
32:43He was much quieter than usual,
32:46and his touch was feather light and unbelievably gentle.
32:50I wanted to laugh.
32:51I felt like he was making a big deal out of nothing,
32:54but I was also surprisingly comfortable with how things were.
32:57My consciousness grew hazy,
32:59and I felt like I'd been dragged into a vortex.
33:02Countless memories flashed before my very eyes like a kaleidoscope.
33:06I saw the orphanage's brick house,
33:08and my bunny soft toy torn and discarded on the ground.
33:12The orphanage director stepped on my head as he always did.
33:16You're a bastard that nobody wants.
33:19Do you want to let another one get away, didn't you?
33:22What's the point?
33:23Look around.
33:25Is there anyone to help you?
33:26The director scanned the room,
33:28and the other kids shrank back,
33:29too scared to lift their heads.
33:31He smirked with satisfaction and grabbed my hair, snarling.
33:34I told you to play the good kid,
33:36yet your new family sent you back here in just a couple of days.
33:40If I were them, I wouldn't want you either.
33:43You can't even smile.
33:44You're so gloomy that you almost seem like you're cursed.
33:47I should have left you in the trash heap where I found you.
33:50My eyes burned with a feral intensity as I lunged at him
33:54and sank my teeth into his neck.
33:56Hot, wet blood flooded my mouth and he collapsed.
33:59He curled into a ball and howled in pain.
34:01I spat out the blood,
34:03my face devoid of emotion.
34:05That night, I was punished.
34:07Winter at the orphanage was brutal.
34:10The house had heat,
34:11but outside the howling wind could freeze one still.
34:14I huddled against a tree to block out the cold
34:16when a voice came from above.
34:18Do you want me to kill him for you?
34:21I jolted, snapping my head up.
34:24A tall and lean figure leaped down from the tree,
34:27landing silently before me.
34:28He looked a few years older than me
34:30and had faint traces of blood on him.
34:32He didn't seem phased, though.
34:34This orphanage is a front, isn't it?
34:36He asked.
34:37I've been watching for a while.
34:39They bring in new kids every week.
34:41He was right.
34:42Most of the kids there were trafficked and sold off
34:45by the director for profit in a bloody trade.
34:49With that much blood loss,
34:50he wouldn't last long,
34:51even if he didn't die.
34:53He looked down at himself.
34:54His face was pale,
34:56but he still managed to smile.
34:58Oh, this.
34:59Don't worry about it.
35:01Even injured,
35:03I can still take out a few people.
35:05A flicker of hidden menace passed through his eyes.
35:08Of course.
35:09Killing you would be...
35:10I cut him off.
35:12How much money do you want?
35:14He paused.
35:15I just need you to help me start a fire.
35:17I'll handle the rest.
35:19I said.
35:20He narrowed his eyes,
35:21sizing me up.
35:22There are other kids locked up in here.
35:24Are you going to save them?
35:25I didn't respond to that.
35:27Instead, I stared at him,
35:28asking evenly.
35:29How much do you want?
35:31He was quiet for a long moment
35:32before letting out a soft laugh.
35:34I don't want money.
35:36Just moments ago,
35:37he'd considered killing me to keep me quiet.
35:39Now, however, he was lazy and relaxed.
35:41He pointed at the half-ruined bunny soft toy in my arms.
35:45Give me that.
35:46That'll be your payment.
35:48What a sucker.
35:48I tossed it to him.
35:50Keep your word.
35:51If we ever meet again,
35:53I'll owe you one.
35:55Bunny boy.
35:56When I opened my eyes,
35:58Dominic was slumped over the bed, asleep.
36:00His hand still held mine,
36:02and his brows were slightly furrowed,
36:07as if restless even in sleep.
36:09My heart stirred.
36:10Still images from my dream lingered,
36:12and my throat burned as if it had been sliced.
36:14I reached for a glass of water,
36:16my gaze catching on the bunny apron Dominic was still wearing.
36:20Wait.
36:21It felt familiar.
36:22The next second,
36:23I started coughing violently.
36:28Dominic stirred at the sound and sat up.
36:30What's wrong?
36:31You okay?
36:32I gaped at him
36:33as the face from my dream merged with the one in front of me.
36:36No way.
36:37After a long pause,
36:38I finally blurted out.
36:40What the hell?
36:41Dominic,
36:42haven't you had enough of this?
36:43He braced his arms on either side of me,
36:46crapping me in place.
36:47Nope.
36:48Why were you so shocked?
36:49What did you dream about?
36:51I took a deep breath and forced a smile.
36:53I dreamed you turned into a bunny.
36:55Even in my dream,
36:57you refused to let go of me.
36:58You clung to my leg,
37:00kept begging me to hold you.
37:01Dominic stiffened.
37:02My smile widened at that.
37:04So,
37:05I picked you up
37:06and put you in a pink dress.
37:10He didn't buy it for one second
37:11and covered my mouth to shut me up.
37:13Thanks to my nonsense,
37:15Dominic worried I was losing it from being cooped up.
37:18That same day,
37:19he took me out
37:20and deliberately ordered his bodyguards
37:22not to come with us.
37:24I marveled at the inexplicable confidence
37:26of a mafia boss
37:27while a strange feeling flickered in my chest.
37:30If Dominic really was the boy I'd met as a child,
37:33a fox headband was suddenly plopped onto my head.
37:37I grabbed a bunny headband and put it on him.
37:39He caught my hand,
37:40his expression a bit awkward.
37:43With the shy act,
37:45I don't want to become a bunny.
37:46He remembered the dream I'd made up
37:48and avoided my gaze,
37:49the tips of his ears turning slightly red.
37:52I'd never seen Dominic like this before.
37:54My heart felt like it had been struck.
37:56I swallowed and said seriously,
37:59Dominic,
38:01you're really cute right now.
38:02Dominic was taken aback.
38:04I walked backward in front of him,
38:06my voice light and teasing as I continued.
38:08I'm serious.
38:10You're so cute that it's making my heart race.
38:12I just want to kiss you right now.
38:15I bumped into someone from behind.
38:17They had their caps pulled low
38:19and they muttered,
38:20Sorry,
38:21I wasn't watching where I was going.
38:23I tutted.
38:24Donate your eyes if you're not using them.
38:26With a sinister grin,
38:27I added,
38:28If I catch you again,
38:29I'll toss you into an abandoned factory.
38:33And,
38:33Dominic clamped his hand over my mouth,
38:35nodding at the stranger.
38:37Sorry,
38:38he's just joking.
38:40Who was joking?
38:41Dominic threatened in a low voice.
38:43Do you want me to kiss you right here in public?
38:46I immediately fell silent.
38:47The stranger walked a few steps
38:49before turning back
38:51and locking their gaze on me.
38:53I didn't notice,
38:54but I could feel that my previously empty pocket
38:56now held something.
38:58A spark of realization hit me
38:59and I smiled.
39:01Dominic,
39:01let's go get some drinks.
39:03I seemed oblivious
39:04as he downed one spiked drink after another.
39:07His expression didn't change,
39:10but his eyes grew hazy.
39:12He grabbed my hand and pressed it to his face.
39:14I propped my chin,
39:15watching him.
39:16Even drunk,
39:17he was quite adorable.
39:18He nuzzled my hand,
39:20his voice softer than usual.
39:22When are we going home?
39:24His
39:28vulnerable state stirred something in me,
39:30and I scratched under his chin.
39:33I'll take you home soon.
39:35Okay?
39:36The drug was taking effect.
39:41He fell silent and sat there,
39:43calm and still.
39:44I watched him for a moment
39:46before murmuring,
39:47I haven't failed a job in a long time.
39:49Dominic,
39:50you should thank me.
39:52His eyes,
39:53softened by the alcohol,
39:54glistened.
39:55His face had sharpened
39:56and hardened over the years,
39:58which stirred something in me.
39:59I leaned in to kiss him.
40:02Goodbye.
40:03Bunny boy.
40:05When I reached the abandoned factory,
40:07someone was already waiting
40:09the person who'd bumped into me.
40:10I spread my arms wide.
40:12Nate!
40:12I'm back from gallopating!
40:14Nathaniel Cross pushed me away
40:15with a blank expression.
40:17Hold on.
40:17You've got some explaining to do.
40:19He was my mentor in the assassin trade
40:21and my boss's lover.
40:23He checked me over thoroughly
40:24before letting out
40:25a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
40:27What's wrong?
40:28You're really cute right now.
40:30I stood there obediently.
40:32I smiled awkwardly.
40:33Making my heart race.
40:35I just want to kiss you right now.
40:36I coughed and changed the subject.
40:45Which way are we going?
40:47Dominic didn't bring his men,
40:48but I'm sure someone's watching
40:49from the shadows.
40:50I came out alone
40:51and his people should know by now.
40:53Nathaniel didn't press further.
40:55He mulled it over and said,
40:57Drake Harbor.
40:58Drake Harbor was under Dominic's control.
41:01Hearing that made me feel a strange pang.
41:03Nathaniel pulled his cap lower
41:04and scanned our surroundings.
41:06Things have been chaotic lately.
41:07Ever since Dominic ended up
41:09on the wanted list,
41:11all the hidden players
41:11have come out of the woodwork.
41:13They're targeting Drake Harbor.
41:14He nodded.
41:16It's a juicy prize.
41:17Everyone wants a piece.
41:19I changed clothes and followed him,
41:21sticking to the shadows as we moved.
41:23The harbor's lights flickered in the distance.
41:26Suddenly Nathaniel stopped.
41:27You had the chance to kill him,
41:30didn't you?
41:30I faltered.
41:32I can't beat him.
41:33He studied me for a moment.
41:35Then he tugged open my collar,
41:37revealing a faint bite mark.
41:38The first lesson I taught you
41:40was to be ruthless.
41:41If you really wanted him dead,
41:43you could have hidden the blade
41:44in your mouth during that kiss
41:46and cut his tongue off.
41:47A distant explosion shattered the silence.
41:53And smoke rose from the harbor.
41:55I stared, stunned,
41:57as a figure approached.
42:01It was Dominic.
42:03Nathaniel glanced around.
42:04A trace of irritation
42:07breaking through his stoic expression.
42:09Great.
42:10Your man's up ahead,
42:11and your enemies are behind us.
42:14Looks like I'm working overtime again.
42:17I just want to go back to my island.
42:20I just want to go back to my island.
42:22I just want to go back to my island.
42:22I just want to go back to my island.
42:23They shouldn't even know me.
42:26Why do they hate me so much?
42:28Because of your man.
42:29I was baffled.
42:30Drake Harbor was targeted from the start.
42:34Dominic took care of it,
42:35before handing it over to us,
42:36saving us a huge headache.
42:38That's a good thing, isn't it?
42:40But he showed his face,
42:41and their focus shifted to him.
42:43He beat the crap out of them,
42:45saying it was revenge for his boyfriend.
42:47Now,
42:48they're itching to get back at you.
42:50He pointed at the Scarface man in front of us.
42:52You should recognize this guy.
42:54I studied the two crisscrossing scars on his face.
42:56I remember I only cut him once.
42:59The other one's from Dominic.
43:01He called it a couple's set.
43:03I was speechless
43:04as I shot Dominic an exasperated look.
43:07Scarface approached with a group of armed men.
43:09With a wave of his hand,
43:11they swarmed and surrounded Dominic.
43:13A dagger was pressed against his neck,
43:15throwing tiny beads of blood.
43:17He didn't even resist.
43:18Scarface pointed a gun at him
43:20with a vicious look in his eyes.
43:21You've finally shown up
43:23after hiding for so long.
43:24I kept my expression neutral
43:26as I stealthily reached for my dagger.
43:28I smiled and said,
43:30I didn't know you missed me that much.
43:32Want another scar on your face?
43:34He cursed under his breath
43:35and aimed the gun at me.
43:37Hands where I can see them!
43:38I know your tricks!
43:39You think I'd let you get near a blade?
43:42I tossed the dagger and raised my hands.
43:44We'll give up Drake Harbor.
43:46Let him go.
43:47Scarface touched his scars,
43:48his gaze venomous.
43:50I want the goods,
43:51and I want the man.
43:55Suddenly,
43:55he fired a shot into Dominic's shoulder.
43:58Blood sprayed
43:58and grunted while Winston
44:03threw down my anger
44:04and glared at Scarface.
44:06What the hell do you want?
44:07He stared at me,
44:09licking his lips.
44:10What do I want?
44:12I wanted you back then,
44:14and you said no.
44:15He pointed at his face.
44:17Look at the gift you left me.
44:18Yet,
44:19ultimately,
44:20you've ended up in my hands,
44:23haven't you?
44:24He grabbed Dominic's hair
44:25and bared his teeth
44:26in a feral grin.
44:27I'll deal with him first.
44:28Then,
44:29I'll have my fun with you.
44:31I lunged forward without thinking.
44:33Nathaniel's face changed
44:34and he grabbed me.
44:35No!
44:37He'll be fine.
44:38So get back here.
44:39Everyone else's guns
44:40instantly trained on him.
44:42Shots rang out.
44:43Nathaniel and I
44:44ducked into the shadows,
44:45our breathing ragged.
44:47I hissed.
44:48Dominic drank something
44:49laced with my drug.
44:51He's out of it.
44:52He'll die.
44:52Nathaniel gritted his teeth,
44:54keeping his voice low.
44:55If he dies,
44:56he dies.
44:57That was your job
44:58from the start.
44:59Nate,
44:59Dominic is the guy
45:01I met at the orphanage.
45:02He froze.
45:03If he hadn't
45:04showed up back then.
45:07I looked up
45:08and smiled faintly.
45:09I would have died that day.
45:11He fell silent,
45:12then turned away.
45:13Do what you want.
45:14I'll cover you.
45:16But if you get hurt...
45:17I raised a finger.
45:19I won't.
45:20I promise.
45:22Nathaniel threw a smoke bomb
45:24and I darted out.
45:25It had been ages
45:26since I'd moved this intent.
45:38bullets whizzed past my face
45:40and my heart pounded
45:42from the exertion
45:42and exhilaration.
45:44Every cell in my body
45:45screamed with adrenaline,
45:47the feeling surging
45:48even stronger
45:49when I saw Dominic.
45:50I only stopped
45:51when Scarface's gun
45:52pressed against my boycott.
45:54I only stopped.
45:55I didn't want to kill you,
45:57but you're so disobedient.
46:00His eyes turned cold.
46:01Go to hell.
46:04He pulled the trigger.
46:05I jerked my head aside
46:06at the last second,
46:07so the bullet
46:08nearly grazed my ear,
46:10leaving a streak of blood.
46:12Gasping,
46:12I dove to the side.
46:14Scarface cursed
46:15and aimed at Dominic.
46:17Come out!
46:18Or I'll kill him!
46:20I exhaled
46:21and raised my hands.
46:22You want me, right?
46:24I'm here.
46:25Let him go.
46:27He burst into laughter,
46:28his eyes bloodshot.
46:29Let him go.
46:30Are you two playing me?
46:33He's playing the hostage,
46:34and you're the hero
46:36here to save him.
46:38Fun game, isn't it?
46:40I frowned.
46:41What are you talking about?
46:43Scarface's expression
46:44turned manic,
46:45tinged with an unnatural excitement.
46:47You don't know what I mean!
46:49He tricked you!
46:50This whole thing
46:52is an act!
46:53Dominic's eyes
46:53instantly snapped
46:54back to focus.
46:56In a flash,
46:56he grabbed the gun,
46:57shoved it into Scarface's mouth,
46:59and pulled the trigger.
47:00Shut up!
47:03Blood splattered
47:04across my face.
47:05Fearless figures
47:06suddenly emerged
47:07from the shadows
47:08surrounding Scarface's men.
47:10They were Dominic's crew.
47:12Doctors were on standby
47:13to treat Dominic's shoulder,
47:15but he ignored them
47:19and strode toward me.
47:20He gently wiped the blood
47:22from my face,
47:23his voice soft
47:24as he said,
47:25I'm sorry.
47:26I got you dirty.
47:28I slapped his hand away,
47:29my tone icy.
47:31What did he mean just now?
47:33Dominic,
47:34you tricked me.
47:36He paused
47:36and quickly said,
47:38No.
47:38Seeing my expression darken,
47:40he lowered his eyes.
47:41Maybe a little.
47:43I took a deep breath.
47:44Do you know that that tush
47:45almost killed me?
47:46He suddenly laughed.
47:48His voice was soft,
47:49but tinged with a chilling madness
47:51as he said,
47:52If it had,
47:53at least you'd be by my side
47:55forever.
47:55It no longer mattered
47:57whether he'd taken the drug.
47:58I clenched a fist
47:59and said coldly,
48:01Bite it down.
48:02Dominic nodded,
48:03pressing his lips
48:04together tightly.
48:05I swung the heart
48:06and punched him
48:07squarely in the face.
48:08Blood trickled
48:09from the corner
48:10of his mouth.
48:10He tilted his head
48:11and pressed his tongue
48:12to his cheek.
48:13The action tugged
48:14at his shoulder
48:15and he let out
48:16a muffled grunt
48:17as he furrowed his brows.
48:18I stared at him.
48:20Anything to say?
48:22I'm sorry.
48:23He paused,
48:24then added,
48:26I deserve that.
48:27I snorted,
48:28leaned closer
48:29and brushed my ear
48:30with his fingertips.
48:31Does it hurt?
48:32Worry about your shoulder first,
48:34I shot back.
48:35Or you might never be able
48:36to use it again.
48:37He smiled.
48:38I can carry you
48:39with one arm.
48:40I rolled my eyes.
48:41Should I praise you for that?
48:42His eyes glinted.
48:44Honestly,
48:44I was aroused
48:45when I saw you earlier.
48:47I fell silent.
48:48Knowing that you were
48:49coming to save me,
48:50with all my marks
48:51hidden under your clothes,
48:53I...
48:54Nathaniel clamped a hand
48:55over his mouth,
48:56his face devoid of emotion.
48:57Hold up, pervert.
48:58He turned and yanked
48:59my shirt up
49:00to reveal countless marks
49:01on my body,
49:02some faint,
49:03some dark.
49:03My face burned
49:04as I quickly pulled
49:05my shirt back down.
49:07Nathaniel's expression
49:08darkened.
49:09Are you a dog?
49:10How could you mark
49:11someone's body like that?
49:12Dominic remained calm.
49:14Please don't touch
49:15someone else's lover.
49:16Nathaniel sneered.
49:18Lover,
49:18you're still lost
49:19in your fantasies,
49:20aren't you?
49:21Wake up.
49:22Dominic smiled gently.
49:23I don't mind
49:23cutting out your tongue
49:24if you don't know
49:25how to speak properly.
49:27Nathaniel narrowed his eyes.
49:29Do you announce
49:30your kills beforehand?
49:31Should I get you
49:32a lollipop for that?
49:33Things were about
49:34to get out of here,
49:35so I held them down
49:36with one hand each.
49:38No fighting!
49:38Nathaniel glared at me.
49:40Are you taking his side?
49:42I pointed behind.
49:43No,
49:44your man's here.
49:45Nathaniel's lover
49:46was my boss,
49:47Will Cross.
49:48Nate!
49:49Will looked Nathaniel over,
49:51then relaxed.
49:52He pinched Nathaniel's face
49:54while gritting his teeth.
49:55Do you know how I felt
49:56waking up this morning
49:57to find you gone?
49:58All you have a note saying,
50:00I'm leaving.
50:01What's that supposed to mean, huh?
50:03Dominic glanced at me,
50:04raising an eyebrow.
50:05I looked away.
50:06As I mentioned,
50:08Nathaniel was my mentor.
50:09Nathaniel recalled
50:10what he'd done
50:11and put up the slightest
50:12bit of resistance
50:13with a stony expression.
50:14It means what it says.
50:17Ow!
50:18Don't bite my face.
50:19That hurts.
50:20Will noticed me
50:21in the marks on my neck.
50:23Then,
50:23he nudged me with a grin.
50:25So,
50:25were you having fun?
50:27I didn't know what to say.
50:28Will was placed in charge
50:29of the cleanup
50:30at Drake Harbor.
50:31His methods were sinister
50:33and ruthless,
50:33so there was nothing
50:34to worry about
50:35with him around.
50:36Before being dragged off,
50:38Nathaniel gave Dominic
50:39a stern talking to
50:40and a vicious warning.
50:41I hid behind the door,
50:43eavesdropping
50:43on their conversation.
50:44When I met him,
50:45he was fighting stray dogs
50:47for food.
50:47He was just a kid,
50:49yet he was covered in wounds
50:50and had eyes that were
50:51full of venom and resolve.
50:53He's the best assassin
50:54I've ever seen.
50:56I didn't hear what Dominic
50:57said in response.
50:59Nathaniel went quiet
51:00for a moment.
51:01When he spoke again,
51:03his voice was laced
51:04with killing intent.
51:05If he didn't like you,
51:07I'd kill you myself.
51:08Will appeared beside me
51:09at some point.
51:10Don't worry.
51:11He won't kill him.
51:12I shot him a look.
51:14Obviously,
51:15he's not you.
51:16He laughed unbothered.
51:18What can I say?
51:19He made me an offer
51:20that was too good
51:21to refuse.
51:22In our line of work,
51:24falling for a client
51:25is the biggest taboo,
51:26and money
51:27is the biggest client
51:29of all.
51:29I was at a loss
51:30for words.
51:31As they left,
51:32Nathaniel looked at me,
51:34hesitating like he wanted
51:35to say something.
51:36I thought he was worried
51:37about me and was about
51:38to speak when he
51:38patted my shoulder,
51:40deadpan.
51:41Dominic's a bit
51:42of a freak.
51:43You've got it rough.
51:45I was rendered speechless.
51:47Once Nathaniel and Will
51:48were gone,
51:49I couldn't stop myself
51:50from asking Dominic,
51:51What exactly did you
51:53say to him?
51:54He didn't answer.
51:55Instead,
51:56he pulled me
51:57into his arms.
51:58Are you still mad?
51:59I know I messed up.
52:01I just wanted you
52:02to stay by my side
52:03so badly.
52:04Sometimes,
52:05I got the feeling
52:06that Dominic
52:07was a lunatic.
52:08Then again,
52:09the fact that I
52:10wasn't remotely
52:10scared of him
52:11probably meant
52:12that I wasn't
52:12exactly normal either.
52:14I asked,
52:14Dominic,
52:15do you know
52:15what I was thinking
52:16when I rushed in
52:17to save you?
52:20He looked up,
52:21his gaze locking
52:22onto mine.
52:23I said,
52:24You were like
52:25a princess kidnapped
52:26by a dragon
52:27and I was the prince.
52:29In my story,
52:30the prince always
52:31saves the princess.
52:33It's just like
52:34how you appeared
52:35before me
52:35back at the orphanage.
52:37I'd never believed
52:38in fairy tales
52:38but in that moment,
52:39it felt like
52:40I'd really seen
52:41my savior.
52:42Dominic's eyes widened.
52:43You remember now?
52:45When...
52:45The day you went
52:46at me so hard
52:46that I got a fever?
52:48Don't you find
52:49me terrifying?
52:49I wanted to drag
52:50you back with me
52:51the first time
52:52I met you.
52:52I looked for you
52:53for so long.
52:55I tricked you,
52:57locked you up
52:58and put those photos
52:58in the room
52:59on purpose.
53:00His voice was restless
53:01yet laced with
53:02restraint
53:03and a hint of warning.
53:04He didn't know
53:04I was a skilled assassin.
53:06As Nathaniel said,
53:07if I'd wanted to,
53:08I could have hidden
53:09a blade in my mouth
53:10during that kiss
53:11and sliced his tongue
53:12off in an instant.
53:13I leaned close to him
53:14and said softly,
53:15I forgot to mention
53:16that I was pretty excited
53:17that day too.
53:18Dominic's eyes glinted
53:19and his Adam's apple
53:21bobbed hard.
53:22That night,
53:22we lay on the terrace
53:23together as Dominic
53:24lazily toyed with my ear.
53:26He was like a lion
53:27sated after a feast,
53:28radiating contentment.
53:30I swapped his hand away.
53:31I've told you
53:32that it's fine.
53:32It's just a scratch.
53:34He hummed lazily
53:35and said casually,
53:36You and Nathaniel
53:37seem close.
53:38He's my mentor.
53:39He's taught me a lot.
53:41When I was a kid,
53:42I was a bit weird.
53:44The first thing
53:44Nathaniel ever said to me
53:45was,
53:46time to go home.
53:47That's also the code
53:48he set for checking in
53:49on my safety.
53:50Dominic held me tighter.
53:52Nestled in his arms,
53:53I drawled.
53:54First,
53:54I kept failing jobs.
53:55I felt like a disgrace
53:56and would send him
53:57an icy-faced bunny sticker
53:58each time.
53:59If I'd succeeded in a job,
54:01I would send him
54:01time to go home.
54:02But if I failed,
54:03I would send him the bunny.
54:05Nathaniel had no choice
54:06but to let me be.
54:07Dominic seemed to picture it.
54:09He chuckled
54:09as he took my fingers
54:10and kissed them softly.
54:12Sorry for making you
54:13fail your mission.
54:14I lay on top of him
54:16and whispered,
54:16Do you really feel sorry?
54:18He paused,
54:19then answered honestly,
54:21No.
54:21I feel lucky.
54:23If possible,
54:24I'd want to be
54:24your first mission.
54:25My heart stirred
54:26and I turned away
54:27feeling embarrassed.
54:28By the way,
54:28what did you say
54:29to Nathaniel?
54:31I'm not done.
54:32Look at me.
54:33I had no choice
54:34but to look at him.
54:35Back at the orphanage,
54:36I had selfish motives.
54:38Even more so now.
54:40His gaze darkened.
54:41Are you really
54:42not scared of me?
54:43I yanked his collar
54:44and smirked.
54:45You underestimate me,
54:46Dominic.
54:47No idea my desires
54:48matched his own.
54:49Dominic leaned in
54:50for a kiss.
54:54After a long moment,
54:56I pushed him away,
54:57gasping for breath.
54:58Wait.
54:59You still haven't
55:00answered me.
55:01What did you say?
55:02He swallowed hard,
55:03his voice strained
55:04to the limit.
55:05I'll tell you later.
55:06His hands gripped
55:07my hips
55:07and kissed me deeper,
55:08tongues tangling hungrily
55:10while he rolled us
55:11so I was beneath him.
55:12He moved against me
55:13with slow,
55:13powerful thrusts,
55:15the friction hot
55:15and overwhelming,
55:16building pleasure
55:17with every grind
55:18of his body
55:18against mine.
55:20Sweat slicked our skin
55:21under the night sky
55:22as he took me harder,
55:23mouth sucking marks
55:24along my neck and chest,
55:26his low groans
55:26mixing with my moans
55:28until the ecstasy
55:29crested in shuddering waves.
55:30Much later,
55:31I remembered this
55:32and asked Nathaniel about it.
55:34He said if you want it,
55:35he'd hand over his life,
55:37but otherwise,
55:38he'll haunt you
55:39until dies.
55:40Dominic was insane.
55:41I shook my head
55:42and scoffed.
55:44Terrifying.
55:45I'm quickling in my boots.
55:47Dominic heard us
55:47and glanced my way.
55:49Then,
55:49my phone buzzed
55:50with a message.
55:51Don't believe him
55:52if he's bad-mouthing.
55:53I stifled a laugh
55:53and replied,
55:54Got it.
55:55Nathaniel saw the message
55:56and sneered.
55:57Then,
55:58he rolled up his sleeves,
55:59glaring at Dominic
56:00ready to charge.
56:01Will quickly grabbed him.
56:03Wait, Nate!
56:03You can't beat him!
56:05Dominic dodged effortlessly
56:06before raising
56:07a taunting eyebrow
56:08at Nathaniel.
56:09I leaned back lazily
56:10and watched the chaos unfold.
56:12Then,
56:12I laughed.
56:13It was time to go home.
56:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
