The Beast's Possession

That was, until I tried to move and strong arms held me even tighter. "Where are you going?" Bane muttered as he buried his face in the crook of my neck. This missing content is only available on

"I need to use the bathroom," I chose the one excuse that worked every time.

Groaning, Bane pulled his hands away from me and laid on his back. He tossed his arm over his eyes and added, "be quick, we still have time to nap some more."

The childish behavior amused me. As scary as he was, Bane acted like a toddler who begged his parents to allow him to sleep another five minutes.

I tip-toed to the bathroom, hoping I wouldn't disturb his sleep. As I closed the door behind me and spun around, my eyes widened in shock.

Although Bane hadn't touched the bedroom and bathroom during his rampage, the entire bathroom was re-done. It wasn't nearly as fancy as before, more like simple yet elegant.

What surprised me even more were the rows of feminine products all over the place. Various shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, hygiene products and many more.

If I had to analyze the situation based on the bathroom alone, it didn't look like Bane was too eager to throw me out. Or maybe... What if he was preparing his house for a woman of his choice?

When I first arrived and Bane sent me to live with women in the rejects housings, one of them mentioned that he was getting ready to choose his Luna.

Now that I actually thought of it, it made sense... In order to invite a woman to live in his house, Bane had to get rid of me. Truly pathetic, that was how I felt.

"Aife?" Bane's voice on the other side of the door startled me. I jumped away from the door, but kept quiet. Even when he knocked and spoke again, I ignored him. "Are you okay there? Do I need to come in and help you with anything? Did you get hurt?"

Why, all of a sudden, Bane was this caring man was beyond me.

As much as I enjoyed him being nice, I missed the beast within him. At least the beast didn't toss me around like a toy and didn't lie.

"I'm fine," I called out once I found my voice. "I think I will take a shower before I leave, if that's okay with you."

Somehow, my captor turned into my only salvation.

"Can I join you?" Bane asked, ignoring my statement about getting ready to leave completely.

In all honesty, I didn't want him to answer. Even despite the fact that a massive part of me wanted to hear the answer, but only the honest one, not some made-up bullshit.

"Why wouldn't I want to take a shower with you? Do you hear yourself? A shower equals water and clean bodies, which in turn equals naked bodies," after his explanation, Bane laughed.noveldrama

How this situation amused him was beyond me, really. Nothing about it made sense or entertained me.

"You told me to leave and now, you're asking to take a shower with me? I'm sorry, and I mean I'm only sorry for being rude like this, but what the fuck is wrong with you?"

As the silence dragged in, I hoped Bane would leave me be. But of course, that wasn't his style.

Bane actually kicked the door open and stalked towards me. His jaw was tight and eyes blazed in clear anger. The closer he got, the further away from him I wanted to be, so I kept backing away until my back hit the wall.

He managed to corner me and he knew that. A slight smirk spread across his lips as Bane stood in front of me and placed his hands on the wall, caging me in without a chance of escape. And then...

And then, he leaned in and pressed his lips against mine. At first, I didn't react. Unlike other times when he had kissed me, Bane wasn't forceful. His lips brushed against mine so gently, I felt like I was about to turn into a puddle because of him.

Slowly, I closed my eyes and gave into the instinct to kiss him back. When my lips moved against his, I could feel his smile as he brought his hands to my waist to pull me closer.

I threw my arms around his neck and slid my fingers in his hair, giving into the magic of his kiss and touch. There was something special about Bane, that much I couldn't deny.

Perhaps Bane really managed to dig his claws in me...

"I'm an idiot. I know these are empty words for you, but I'm sorry. I don't want you to leave. I made a mistake and I'm fully ready to admit it, own up to it, and suffer whatever consequences there might be. I really don't want you to leave. And I know there are too many 'I's' as I speak, but I'll try my best to change that. Please, don't leave me." Bane whispered as his gaze captured mine.

I couldn't look away. I tried, but failed. Whenever he looked at me like this, it felt like he could see my deepest, darkest secrets. As if he could see through me, so much so that he could see my soul.

"You like the idea of me being here, not me. Admit it. Just admit it and drop the show. There is nothing about me that makes you want to truly keep me around. Bane, you like playing with me and that's about it. You don't want me."

I knew that my words might come across as a challenge, but I was willing to take that risk. If nothing else, at least I could speak my mind for the last time.

Expecting any reaction, he showed me one I didn't even consider. The corner of Bane's mouth twitched as he pressed his body against mine incredibly close. There was no space left between us and something, possibly his belt, was poking me. I didn't let my eyes drop to check it, but it was clear Bane wanted me to.
