context : they grew up together and he became a double agent to the “bad guys”, she continued to be neutral in a zone that was full of tension between the two groups. He then used her access to one of his rivals areas to get his team access and betrayed her doing so.

“I should have seen it coming…..I-I should have known….” The quiet pain-filled whispers crept into the air between them, the tiny scrap of a girl tied up in a corner and her betrayer working steadily across the room. He could tell she was now able to speak through the silent tears and didn’t bother to turn but silently paid attention to her words, as her voice became more broken as she continued to speak. “Please..tell me at least part of it was real though…” 

“All of it was real. Every second but unfortunately a good time can be real and ill intention can be real at the exact same time.” He could hear her shudder with more tears and the sniffles that followed. “Sweetheart, why else do you think I stole you away?”

 “Be-because they g-gave you orders to g-get rid of me.” 

His resolve to keep working seemed to melt away in the light of her words. Spinning around to lean down and trace around her hips with his fingertips, he looked into her teary eyes and spoke as tenderly as he could. “If that was why I approached you, darling, you’d have been stuffed into a trunk and killed years ago. As it so happens, I like you alive and happy so for now these tiny hands and wrists have to be shackled like this.” He leaned in, taking a second to hide the wince that threatened to break him apart when her eyes widened in fear and her muscles involuntarily tensed and relaxed. “I won’t ever harm you, my little songbird.” 

Slowly moving to hold her wrists, he smiled at her and sat on his knees so he was closer to her. “The people I happen to work with know that you matter more to me than anything or anyone else living today. If they even caught a glimpse of your face during this timeframe they wouldn’t hesitate to take you using methods that would make me kill them with my bare hands. They believe I want you as my slave once this is over. I want you to be mine now and forever, and not just mine as in my possession but as in my wife.” He tenderly cupped her cheek with one hand, using his thumb to wipe away the tears as she fought to breathe without sniffling. “I’ve wanted you ever since I saw you. The way I’ve wanted you has changed and grown, but I fell for you desperately since that first day and I’ve fallen deeper and deeper every day since.” 

With sobs shaking her chest, she shook her head, forcing her voice to remain steady. “You’re saying pretty things now b-but they’ll turn out to be lies once you get w-what you w-want.” Lifting her slight frame up to sit on his lap, he scooted them closer to the corner and held her with one arm. Her shudders became shaky, her breaths uneven, and she shut her eyes as her tears continued falling.

 “I want you. I want your body, your mind, your creativity, and your imagination. I-I need you, your smiles, your laughter, your smart-ss comments, your hums-“ 

“j-just stop.” 

Her tears hadn’t stopped falling, and she could feel how his words affected her through the shudders of mixed hope and grief. “Baby, please…please j-just look at me.” His hand was shaking on her cheek, and as she shook her head and let another sob out, he felt his heart break for the amount of hurt she had sustained. “Please look at me, songbird. I’ll do anything to prove to you just why this has happened like this. I’ll tell you everything once we get free of them, every little thing down to the very last”-

 “Stop…” she choked out past her chest seemingly falling in, “Just stop giving me hope, all you’ll ever do is crush me afterward.” 

Leaning his forehead against her neck, he breathed in deeply and shakily. “When have I hurt you, sweetheart? Why do you mistrust me so?” Breathing in as best she could, she tried to open her eyes past the tears, seeing his blurry face with tears running down it and the desperation in his eyes. 

“You really don’t remember how you let me get attacked by your so-called rivals? How you let me go into an area you knew had their snares?” He almost choked on his next breath and rushed to speak before she shook her head and continued. “You told me just the week before how you wanted to take me with you when you got posted, and then once I fell for your trap you left me behind.”

 “Songbird, I didn’t think you’d go because I told you I wasn’t going after all. I made sure my notes were delivered more than a day beforehand. Wait, you actually went? And you didn’t tell me?” His voice clearly breaking with his tears, the desperation in his eyes turned sorrowful and they started to blur. 

“Y-you sent me notes leading up to it?” Releasing his breath, he caressed her cheek and back with his two hands.

 “D-did you not get them?” She shook her head with guilt in her eyes. Cursing herself for believing that he would let her do that, she closed her eyes in shame and through the haze of her shocked mind, she realized that her tears had mostly stopped. “Sweetheart, don’t blame yourself for this. Darling, just…please look at me again, love. Baby, don’t cry.” 

Through her remaining tears, she opened her eyes and did her best to talk in whole sentences. “All this time I blamed you for that one thing and then I let that rule my actions in the situations that followed…when I was the problem in the first place….” 

“No no, songbird. I shouldn’t have trusted Marco with your letters and now I realize he must have messed up my notes and letters for years without me realizing. I know they gave him potions to make me say or do things at times, but I never realized what he made me do.” Taking a second to move so she was more comfortable with her arms being tied, he held her tightly but tenderly. 

She closed her eyes with shame still evident, whispering brokenly. “I’m sorry I doubted you. I’m sorry I still doubt you, but you can’t expect me to just forget everything that’s happened.” Leaning her head against his neck with his chin, he breathed in and out before responding. 

“And all I ask is that you be patient with me until I finish my mess. We will be able to be free and I will show you exactly how I intend to first make you mine, sweetheart, and second how I intend to love you for the rest of my life as I’ve silently but surely loved you for my life so far.” Sniffling and trying to breathe, she nodded with her eyes still closed. Looking down at her small frame, he let her eyes roam and unbeknownst to him his smile grew into one of deep love and care. “Here, darling, let me.” He rasped through the last bit of his tears, stopping her from using his shoulder to wipe away her tears. 

Slowly and softly, he wiped away the tears that spattered her face, taking his time and showering her with care. Breathing in deeply and forcing herself to stop shaking, she opened her eyes and looked at him, getting swept away by the look in his eyes and fighting to stay calm. He stroked her wrists softly with one hand and her hip with the other, letting his hunger and love and care and everything he felt show in his eyes. Curling her toes at the desire she saw in his eyes, she tried to hide how it affected her.
