Ledger moved closer and closer to her as his hues remained locked onto hers. He was clearly intoxicated, just as clearly as the fact that he knew he should not be here right now. But he had spotted her on his way to the night club, with some guy that was not him, and it had infuriated the possessive male a lot more than he knew it was supposed to. As soon as the back off the blonde met with a nearby wall he lifted his hand only to place it next to her while he stepped as close to her as possible, trapping her. “This isn’t adrenaline, i want to spend my life with you.”

a reuniting for @decadentparagon

A few weeks since the wedding had gone by, and Ashley was starting to get a bit nervous and desperate. From his understanding, their first official date went well. They went to the wedding, ate, drank, danced, fucked twice in public and finished the night off with a romantic night at the hotel. He tried his best to do everything right. Ash knew that Temptest would run if he sprang everything on her at once. The last thing he wanted to do is scare Temptest off for good. There was something about the woman that made him want her so bad, and he hadn’t cared about someone this much since his late wife. Yet, he was still here. Weeks had gone by without a single text or call answered. A part of him hated doing it; going back to his original roots as a tracker. He had to find her. He had to make sure that she was okay and wasn’t ignoring him because he did something wrong. The idea of someone else waltzing in her life was a better picturing in the male’s mind than total rejection after one of the best nights he had since his wife’s passing. Which is why he had put himself in places where she would go. Simple things like her favorite coffee shop that she occasionally asked for him to pick up pastries from when she was stressed from studies. Her favorite bookshop that she raved about when she thought he wasn’t paying attention to what she said. The only place that wouldn’t be too obvious that he was attempting to follow her would be the grocery store. Ashley went during the same times she mentioned going when they were together. There was no way she could change that many habits in such a small period of time. The only thing that Ash could do was initiate the plan and pray that she would show up. Days passing made him almost give up until he caught her in the corner of the store. He almost thought he was hallucinating when he called out to her. ❝ Tem  —  Wait. ❞ Jogging to catch up while he pulled her away from the crowd. ❝ I’ve been reaching out to you for weeks. Is everything okay? You haven’t answered a single text since the wedding. ❞

thalia’s heart was racing, practically beating out of her chest and dante could hear her. his enhanced sense meant he was often aware of everything that was going on around him. but even he could not have predicted this, predicted that his helping her would backfire. that one of the creatures he had defeated would be resurrected and return for revenge on the last person to touch their cursed blade. and thalia had been that poor unfortunate soul. but dante was lucky enough to find out and show up in time to save her from the threat that he had brought into her life. 

but her life had legitimately been in danger, so her heart racing made perfect sense. his hands slowly reach out to rest on her midsection, hoping to steady her and show her that he was there for her. her fingertips lightly resting against his biceps a tactile reminder that he wasn’t going anywhere. “ hey, hey, hey. you’re okay. you’re okay. i’m sorry. this is all my fault. i should have been more careful. but you’re safe and that thing is dead. i made sure of it. i’ve got you. i’m here. “

“YOU’RE A HARD MAN TO FIND these days,” a sigh. And despite the fact that there was no smile in sight across the blonde’s face, the sigh was one of relief. 

What do they say about desperate times, again? That it requires desperate measures? Yeah, this was desperate alright. She r e e k s from desperation with no way of masking the scent. Fortunately for her, Gideon was quite a sight for sore eyes. And she would get to do the one thing that that she liked the most; scheming against her despicable husband. It was truly a win-win situation, if only the man of the hour could be on time instead of leaving her waiting for more than an hour. 

Desperate times calls for desperate measures, she tries to remind herself. Besides, beggars can’t be choosers. 

“I would offer to meet at my bar, but my husband refuses to leave. Besides, you haven’t come by in a while - is it no longer up to your standards?” Right there and then she cracked a smirk, albeit a faint one. 

“I have a mutually beneficial proposition for you, Gideon, I think you’re going to want to hear me out - and I think you’re going to regret making me wait like this.”

             "i fucking said i was sorry, why can't you just get over it? " milo spat back a the female, frustration clear in his tone as steely blue hues shift away from her to focus on the television screen. their relationship was only the shadow of what it used to be. fights had become more constant, a part of their routine the pair didn't seem to be able to live without. not that she's entirely to blame for their inability to communicate, he's been short on patience, short on everything. " i mean if you're so fucking unhappy with me, just go and find someone else."

@decadentparagon​ liked for a starter. open to: anyone. 

it doesn’t take him long to recognise that he’s got the wrong person, but a quick survey of the bar they’re sat within leads him to believe that could be said of anyone there. sure, looks could be deceiving, but he’d been an escort for long enough now to know a customer when he saw one. until now, that is. still, he doesn’t see the point in wasting a perfectly good outfit, ready to spark a genuine conversation with the other. “can i get you a drink at all? as a thank you for letting me sit here and disturb your night?”

      ESME WAS BEGINNING TO HAVE second thoughts about meeting her friend and talking it out with her and leo. the two of them are very important to her and whatever happens, it feels like she’s going to lose one or both of them. ever since she asked for space from her husband, she’s been sleeping in their guest room. and now, instead of actually getting dressed like she was supposed to, she remained her her bathrobe as she made her way into their shared bedroom. the familiarity of the space just made her want to crawl back into bed with her husband, but there was this ever present ache in her chest whenever she looks at him. “ i--i’m not sure if it’s such a good idea to meet her. maybe we can cancel and just talk to her on another time? ” the brunette suggested as she stood by her dresser, leaning against the wooden surface as hesitation filled her eyes. it was not the first time she cancelled, but she kept on postponing this meeting because of how terrified she was of the outcome. she didn’t want to lose him; she just wanted things to go back to the way it was.
