secrets like this didn’t dance across her tongue that often because as much as davina sydney had liked to be known for the dark and terrible things that she had done , she also had wanted to make sure that she was still going to go free . jaspers place was a safe spot for her to do what she had pleased , but to also remain on her knees , worshipping a god before her , to easily and happily take lives to contribute to his life and wellbeing . davina might still be in the early stages of being at the compound , she might still be under close observation — her having walked in on him in just a towel as an indication of how close that observation had been .
he had started to put the pieces together and the moment that it had connected and clicked in his mind a smirk had started to play on her lips , amused & highly aroused at the thought that he had remembered her , that her crimes had reached even his eyes and ears & if he had been impressed by it she only would feel that arousal being fueled further . ‘ i didn’t know of your fathers passing when i had gone on my spree , but i’d rather serve on my knees to you instead . ‘ she admits , knowing that talk of this would either cause him to be proud of possibly angry , but she doesn’t care , she has no issue to lie to him or to sugarcoat what she had planned on doing in the community . she was there to serve him & nobody but him .
his question of her reasonings for her taking the lives of the eleven people in New Orleans had caused her to smirk , but she had turned to watch as the car had come to a halt and she knew that they had been at their destination . it was time , but she had to answer this question first and she could feel herself vibrating with excitement . ‘ their behaviors were definitely a motivating factor . ‘ she begins , playing with the knife between her fingers as she bites on her lower lip before her tongue smooths over it to soothe it . ‘ i just wanted to see what they looked like without their heads , but I wanted to make a story , i wanted to make a spectacle of it all . ‘
jasper had known there was more than met the eye with davina; the knowledge of such had been part of why he’d been reluctant to place even the most basic level of trust in her. it wasn’t the darkness he had a problem with, - much the opposite, in fact, given those who were acquainted with the darkness were the most useful to him, - but rather the fact that he’d been unable to pinpoint the exact amount within her, and the truth of where she’d come from. but knowing the truth had him intrigued, with motivations for davina’s place within his cult shifting. where before he was ready to dispose of her, now he wondered just how much blood he could soak her skin with and how deeply ingrained her loyalty to him could be. a quiet chuckle when she spoke of serving on her knees to him, a jolt of arousal as gaze swept over her form before meeting hers once more. ❝ father would have loved you. ❞ knew his words to be true, and for a moment he was glad davina had arrived after the reverend’s death; her potential would have been wasted with the elder male using her only as a hole to stick his cock in when he felt the need.
a curious tilt of his head as he observed the female beside him, her excitement at being able to discuss the topic all too obvious to sharp eyes. there was a different feeling to her than the others; murdering people for him had been fun for kai, whereas for harley it was something she never truly seemed to understand the ramifications of. for davina there was the excitement, the exhibitionist motivations for killing in such a dramatic way that was sure to be remembered by all those who had heard of her deeds. wondered for a moment, as he had before, just how far he could push her before she truly snapped. registered a hint of excitement at the idea of seeing what she’d do when she did, for he knew if anyone could push the female further than she’d already gone, it was him.
a nod in response to her answer, not entirely surprised that the mistreatment she’d been faced with hadn’t been the whole reason for what she’d done. gave a quiet hum as he considered her, the memory of his hands tightening around the reverend’s throat flashing at the forefront of his mind. didn’t push the thought away as he usually did, rather he allowed it to remind him of how far he’d come since that moment. while their motivations had ultimately been very different, - especially with davina displaying her act so extravagantly where he’d sought to keep his a more subtle production, - there was a part of jasper that recognized the outcomes had been very similar; where they’d each been caged and mistreated, the deaths of their family members had been what they’d needed to set them free. ❝ seems you and i both have a way of telling a story with our actions. ❞ of course, jasper wasn’t about to reveal that he’d been the one to end the reverend’s life, despite the vague statement, but still he laid the breadcrumb of information down for her to follow. hand reached out to take hold of her chin, gaze fixed on hers as he leaned closer, tone lowered as he spoke. ❝ in the compound, i prefer a certain level of subtlety... but out here? ❞ a smirk curved up the corner of his lips, a darkness in his gaze. ❝ out here is where you’ll see more of me than the sheep ever will. don’t fuck it up for yourself, sydney. i'd hate to have to make you disappear. ❞
