The Grinch

His eyes narrowed at the man he once respected and may have even looked up to. Jay was probably, no he was, the only slave that Jacob would allow to tow that fine line of testing his patience before he snapped him back into place. “And naturally it wasn’t you, right?” he moved to pick up the phone so he could call the guard Jacob had put in charge. “You think hiding in my office is gonna protect you, Croft? You really want me to call one of those trainers in?”

“The fuck would I do with an iPod?” Jayden rolled his eyes and then watched carefully as Jacob picked up the phone. He strolled forward, hands in his pockets, and casually, before Jacob could know he was making a move, pressed the receiver to end the call. “Don’t call Sofia. She’s got a screw loose. I’m not hiding in your office. I’m temporarily residing here until your guards realise their iPod is probably just in their locker.”

Anthony chuckled for a second before shaking his head quickly. “We are not, no. So she is fair game my friend.” He replied before giving Jayden a friendly wink. 

At this point, the woman had heard them. She scoffed, offended, and trotted away as Anthony winked at him. “It’s like, why would you wear a tight mini skirt and be offended when people look.” He sighed, and then smirked across at the man, “Have we met?”

“Jeez.” she murmured, trying to wrap her head around all that. His reaction to her question made her even more nervous, her fingers tightening around the blanket in her lap. “No that’s not - I didn’t mean -” she stammered, looking down at her hands. Jayden had made her feel stupid and worthless while she was in the House, now he made her feel like a terrible person. “I just, going from one extreme to the other…had to be crazy.” she offered.

He was making her uncomfortable, Jay could tell. He had a habit of doing that. Maybe that was why the guards had chosen this particular brand of humiliation. Tit for tat. He pursed his lips at her comment. “... It feels shit. I’d just started to have it good, y’know? Dog. Apartment. Friends. I was kinda trying out this not being a crap human being routine, and it was sticking, and then... Yeah. It’s crazy.”

She shook his hand. “I’m Nora. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” She waked a few feet down the road before asking. “Do people often act the way that clerk did in this city?  I’ve only just arrived from New York.  I-suppose I would have assumed people were kinder here then there…Of course people are much friendlier at home. Well my childhood home.” She ‘d not returned to Scotland for nearly 20 years.  She did howeve,r keep in touch with her family. “

Jay quirked a brow. Did she really have no idea as to why he was treated so rudely? Oh, she was new. Explained a lot. “Sterling’s an odd choice after New York. Why here, of all places?” Maybe if she knew of the slave trade, things would be different.

“Of course! Look all you want!” Anthony replied playfully. Joking that he was the one being admired. 

Jayden turned from the well-endowed woman he had been watching to the man behind him, and he quirked a brow. “Are you two like... Together? Polyamory isn’t really my thing.”

Weekend Special | Sofia & Jay

[mr-croft-blog]

fifixdixon:

Sofia stopped about half a metre from the bed. “If you ask me to untie you one more time then I’ll leave you there. No clean up. No band aid for your little boo boos. Nothing.” She arched a brow, watching him with a keen eye. “That what you want, Jay?” 

He glared at her then, going decidedly silent as he leaned back against the bed, turning to glare at the roof. “I can’t believe I used to find you hot. You’ve just gone so far off the hot-crazy scale it’s un-fucking-believable.”

jacobxthorpe:

“Excuse me,” Jacob stood up from his desk chair, eyeing the slave who was now cowering in his office. “I asked you—” he stopped abruptly to watch the guards, the distinct radio chatter from their walkies fading as they passed by his office. “What the fuck did you do now?”

“Don’t ‘excuse me’, me, Jacob Thorpe.” Jayden warned, still very much seeing the kid from all those years ago. He stepped back in the shadows some as the guards passed, and Jay waited for them to pass fully before answering. “One of them lost their iPod. Naturally, they assume it was me.”

xnoracampbellx:

“Because I’m a woman?” She smirked slightly. “No hardly.  I just think that the clerk might be somewhat of a grouch.  If he doesn’t want you in the store- well that’s his loss.” She looked at the the clerk again. “Actually, we probably shouldn’t even be giving him business.  I was about to go for a cup of coffe. Would you like to join me?”

“What can I say? I’m a covert sexist.” Jay smirked right back, glancing over at said grouchy clerk who was uncomfortable with the slave in her store. It wasn’t as though Jay could even give the place business. He shrugged, raising his brows. “Sure. I’ve got nothing but time.” They left the store, and Jayden offered his hand for her to shake. “I’m Jayden.”

“Beg your pardon?” Nora turning away from what she was looking at.. “I’d assume you are allowed to look.  I do not work here though.” She glanced over at the sales clerk. “Oh was that one accosting you?  They did the same to me when I walked in too.”

“You don’t work here?” Jay looked to her, and then over at the sales clerk who was flicking him more dirty looks. “Bet it’s easier for you than me though. They don’t tend to like people like me in stores. Not good for business.”

[mr-croft-blog]

“Hey, I’m just looking, am I not allowed to look?!”

jacobxthorpe:

“You just burst into my office, what the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

“I’m aware, Thorpe. I told you to shut up, I’m not here.” Jay said, stepping out of the view of the window as guards walked past the door, looking for him.

Weekend Special | Sofia & Jay

[mr-croft-blog]

fifixdixon:

“You’ll get whatever I find in my cleaning cupboard.” She shouted back to him, heading for the bathroom. “How about some bleach?” Sofia laughed, though she was kidding about that. She enjoyed pushing the boundaries, but surprisingly she wouldn’t go that far. Instead she came back with a hot cloth along with a bottle of antiseptic spray. “Hold still. This is gonna sting like a bitch.”

“For fuck’s sake.” Jay growled, struggling in the bonds, which made a few of the deeper cuts worse, bleeding out. He looked up when she came along with the cloth and antiseptic. Jay was pretty good with pain. Someone had rammed a knife in his hand, and a batshit slave had gotten rid of his pain relief for it and dug around in there. “If you untie me I can do it myself.”

leontesholmes:

Leo laughed, unable to fathom the statement as truth. “You can’t be serious. What a wast of time. People honestly bother to waste their energy on such petty bullshit?” He wondered for a moment if he could trust the guy or if the slaves were all given pseudonyms. “I’m Leontes, which is a bit of a mouthful. Leo is fine.”

He wished it was a joke. Every time they came after him, Jay second guessed whether going to the police had been a good idea. If he could go back in time, things would have been different. “Leo. Good to meet you. Thanks for the drink.” He raised it a little, before knocking it back to finish. “M’gonna head out. Wouldn’t want to lead them here.”

“Sofia spoils everything, just so you know. I’ll tell her next time I see her, and then run away as fast as I can because I’m pretty sure she’d eat me for breakfast.” She grimaced, but nodded eagerly at his suggestion. “I think you read my mind. All the pizza, and then all the gum for you. What about ice cream too, or is that going a step too far?”

“Don’t antagonise her.” He said, rubbing his eye and then rubbing his hands. “Ice cream will make me get headaches, and then she’ll know we got it. But you could have ice cream. It’s Ben & Jerry’s you like, yeah?”

roxannexmartin:

Roxie chewed her lip, watching him to see if she could spot any sign of him lying. She couldn’t. Sighing again, she reluctantly nodded as he spoke. “Okay…” Jay was far stronger than she was, but she would still worry endlessly while he was staying with Sofia. Instead of harping on, like she wanted to, Roxanne opted for a subject change. “You hungry?” She asked, an idea in mind. “I’m hungry.” 

Jayden quirked a brow. Roxie always changed her mind like a light switch. “Yeah, sure. I could eat. I could aways eat.” He smirked, rubbing his eyes. “Has to be something light though. If Sofia finds out...” Jay trailed off, scratching the back of his neck. “What about we get pizza, and then I just chew a shitload of gum after.”
