“I drank… enough,” To say what loud what he’s been thinking of for the past month, Duke doesn’t tell her. Instead, he shoots her one of his famous charming smiles - and it might’ve worked better if he weren’t drunk off his ass.

“You’re adorable, you know.” Jennifer mused with a smile, sipping at her own drink. She knew better than to let his flirtation get her hopes up, he was pretty drunk. No sense in admitting the little crush she had been, harboring.

“That smile is hard to turn down though.”

“Adorable enough to earn a kiss, I hope,” Usually, Duke keeps his hands to himself and even then, his touches are nothing but necessary. But not this evening - as Jennifer takes a sip, his hand brushes her cheek slightly, before Duke quickly pulls away. 

“You’re really pretty,” Maybe one of the prettiest women he’s ever seen - and he’s seen a lot of them.

“Try to stop me and I’ll kill you all! Drive you crazy and then kill you all! You can’t stop me!”

Haven’s enough of a freak show as it is, and the least all of them need right now, is Mara screaming at the top of her lungs for everyone to hear - Duke’s probably the only hearing everything she has to say anyways, and he isn’t fucking deaf.

“Shut up,” His words are harsher than he intends, probably harsher than he needs to be, and it’ll be a miracle if that actually stops her. In fact, it might as well encourage Mara to go further with her plan, whatever it is. 

It isn’t like any of them are scared of her endless threats; she’s tied to a chair and isn’t going anywhere. At the moment, her options are more than just limited.

Duke rolled his eyes at that because, “I didn’t hurt anyone. Just gave ‘em a tiny bruise. Is that considered bad or something?” He paused and then, “If I had hurt someone, then I would’ve lied to you, which, let me remind you, I didn’t.”

[masonjennifer]

❝They look just like you.❞

Jennifer looked over to where Tom and Kate were playing happily and cracked a smile.

“I wouldn’t say that exactly, you can definitely claim them yourself.” Jennifer returned with a chuckle.

With everything that had gone down with the lighthouse and everything else Jennifer was relieved that she and Duke seemed to be moving on with their lives.

While it had all given her a scare it hadn’t changed the fact that she wanted to be with Duke no matter what, and now it seemed like they might finally get a chance to get closer to that flavored coffee commercial she had hoped for. Just a nice simple life, together.

Even with this hope in her Jennifer knew better than to think that everything had just blown over, this was Haven after all. She knew that she would need to keep herself alert to anything out of the ordinary because in Haven it really could be anything.

Her day at the Herald had been shorter than usual so she had headed back to the Rouge early and had planned to give Duke a call but ended up falling asleep instead. She wasn’t sure how much time had passed when she started to wake but from the light coming in through the window it couldn’t have been too long.

Getting to her feet she walked out of the bedroom as she wiped the sleep from her eyes. She was about to grab her phone and call Duke when she heard footsteps on the boat. She figured it must be him, but decided to call out and check just in case it was Nathan or someone looking for him.

“Duke is that you?”

[crockercxrse]

A few days after the Lighthouse, both of them realized that staying on Mara’s side was easier than being against her. It’s like they say: if you can’t beat them, join them, and Duke and Jennifer did just that. Mara needed Jennifer to open doors to her world, wherever that was, and Duke was there for moral support. Yeah, they’d probably be safer on her side-- but with Mara, you could never be sure.

It wasn’t until a week or so when Jennifer and Mara had their first argument. Mara needed answers and she wanted them as soon as possible, as soon as she asked the questions and Jennifer didn’t have them. Tired of being pressure, Jennifer told her to shove the book up her ass and it was downhill from there. Mara was left seething, probably thinking how she’d put Jennifer on her place. 

Days later, she called him and told him to meet up with at the cabin. From there, pretty much everything was a blank. Duke remembered going there, remembering talking about protecting Jennifer at all costs, remembered Mara telling the best way to do that, was keeping her alert at everything and everyone at all times and the only was to get that was troubling her. It was the only way possible and that glued to his thoughts, like it was a need. 

Duke closed the distance between them in a matter of seconds, grabbing both of hers wrists with one hand (they were thin and tinny compared to his hand) and a knife at the other. His grip was strong on them and she wasn’t going to free herself so easily.

Just because she didn’t say anything over the last few weeks, didn’t mean she didn’t notice them. She definitely had noticed the subtle changes in Duke’s behavior and was starting to become worried, anyone would considering what his family trouble was and what happened when he touched troubled blood. She had just kept it all to herself, making notes in her journal at home about what seemed different/off about him. She wasn’t sure anyone would ever believe her so she felt the need to document everything she possibly could without being caught, if Duke caught her then it wouldn’t be very good now would it? Not in the least bit. “…” She was quiet for a few minutes and gazed hard at him, “… There’s nothing that requires my attention today.” Which meant, she wasn’t going anywhere.

Duke had tried to be careful about what his was doing the last few weeks. He was as subtle as he could, only used the blood when Mary was nowhere near the house, but apparently that wasn’t working. Duke just wasn’t sure if it were his behavior or the mess that the house usually was when Mary came home that gave it away. Either way, he didn’t mind as long as Mary kept her mouth shut about what was going on.

He would find a way to shut her up, no matter what it was.

Duke didn’t care about much of anything lately but his addiction. As long as he had the troubled blood, he’d have everything.

“I’m pretty sure someone needs you somewhere to do something that was nothing to do with staying close to do with staying close to this house.” Duke looked at her straight in the eyes for a moment and after a moment, he gave up. Mary wasn’t going anywhere, any time soon.

“Well, if you’re staying here you might as well help me with the cleaning, right?”

THIS BLOG DOES NOT JUST REVOLVE AROUND SHIPPING.

COOL. see our muses being mortal enemies and beating the living shit out of each other? AWESOME. see our muses being parental figures for one another? GREAT. think of any other possible type of ships for our muses? LET ME KNOW. never will i pressure you into shipping something you are not comfortable with. 

[masonjennifer]

“Okay, let’s do it!” The words fell out of her mouth before she could even fully process it and she couldn’t manage to hide the excitement in her tone.

[crockercxrse]

Duke laughed at her excitement, “When are we doing it?”

It was going to be their first vacation together and he’d make sure it was memorable. At first, it was just suggestion, he wasn’t sure if Jennifer’d accept or not and when she did, Duke was surprised. 

“Now you just have to convince those old men to give day offs for no reason,” Duke paused, “Maybe I can talk to them for you.”

[masonjennifer]

Jennifer fumbled out to try and keep him from taking the bottle in front of her but her coordination failed her. Her failure only caused her to dissolve into yet another fit of giggles.

“Come on, I wasn’t done” She slurred between giggles.

[crockercxrse]

Duke thanked the heavens she was so messed up to the point of not being able to grab the bottle that was right in front of her. 

“Sweetheart, you’re more than done.” Duke said after he took both the bottle and the glass away from her, “In fact, we’re going to take you to the stateroom and we’re going to watch a movie until you’re a little bit more... sober, alright?” 

[crockercxrse]

“Why didn’t you tell me about this?!”

“To avoid this reaction.” Duke wasn’t looking at her. She seething and her eyes could probably burn if he started for too long, “Everything’s fine, don’t worry about it.”

[crockercxrse]

“What’s all this blood?!” [ italianexoticbeauty; anon because ask limit! | verse; troubled addict ]

@italianexoticbeauty

Usually, Mary noticed things and it had been a miracle she didn’t notice Duke’s different behavior past few weeks. He didn’t remember, exactly, how it had started (Duke was sure it had something to do with helping Nathan and Audrey here and there), but one moment there was no addiction, nothing there. And then, then his trouble was affecting him at full force, an insatiable need.

Really, it was a miracle Mary hadn’t noticed before. But now that Mary had, Duke’d have to do something about it. Otherwise, she might open her mouth and the wrong people’d know what was going to know, aiming for his head on a silver plate.  

“It’s– it’s nothing.” Duke took a look at the room, the place really was a mess, and added, “I’ll clean this mess. You go do… whatever you do.”
