His past had molded his present, and he’d found an outlet to express his emotions through art while eliminating the enemies that fought to challenge him.
I knew he was waiting for me to ask the real question laced beneath my frenetic rant, and I gathered the courage to say the words, even when I felt the beginning of tingles running through my body.
“I know what the Forbidden can do. I’ve seen glimpses of your pasts. Each of you earned the title of Forbidden, and I know after all this fucking mayhem that I’ve earned the right to be tainted too.” I knew they hadn’t been using their full potential around me. They were holding back - softening up on my behalf as if I were a butterfly that would flutter away the moment trouble arrived.
They needed to understand that I could be their saving grace, and that I could handle the true monsters that went bump in the night.
The true villains that masked themselves in high positions and sweet smiles.
Today, our whole model would change, and that would only happen if I had his absolute support.
Slowly, the pressure upon my cheeks grew stronger until his very nails began to dig into my flesh as he held me forcefully. I didn’t back down at the striking pain, just as my eyes didn’t waver when his hollow stare bled to red, and black magic circles rushed to the surface.
This wasn’t Nico. This was still my Neo, but he was showing me the true demon hidden in the depths of all the bloodshed. The being who came out to play at the start of his brushstrokes upon the blank canvas of his sinful victims.
This is what they were all desperately trying to avoid. They were fighting to ensure I didn’t become as tainted and emotionless as they could be in the shadows where no one else could see or judge them.
They loved me, and that was why they were doing everything they could to protect me from this world, but they needed to understand that I was done being shielded from this life of gambles, fights, and wasteful bloodshed.
It was time to fight fire with gasoline and a flamethrower. Time to witness them bleed in compensation for making me bleed. I was ready to witness them tremble the way they shook violently the moment they woke up from the anesthesia and caught onto the cart of paintbrushes awaiting them.
It was time to make this man’s world bow down to me, and that started with my Forbidden men.
“You can’t turn back after this, Willow.” I knew he’d stress the truth of what would happen if he supported me on this change.On this evolution.“If you walk this path, there are no exits. No way out of the madness. The sins just keep piling up, the scent of death becomes addicting, and nothing can undo what’s written in this lifetime. Everything will be raw, every emotional experience will be merciless in its assault to make you feel, and every action we make carries consequences. Some are physical, some are emotional, and there’s plenty of mental bullshit.”
It was like he was laying out the terms and conditions, needing to ensure I knew what I was about to get myself into and that regretting any of this would be unacceptable.
“You’ll be forced to be in this circle, Willow. Not for a few months or years. Forever. It’s a contract you’ll never be able to break, even in death. You get me?”
I didn’t answer.
Instead, I pressed my hands against his, hoping he’d press further until blood began to seep past his nails and trail down my cheeks while I pushed against his resistance just to claim his rough lips.
His groan was like a growl of warning, as if it were taking everything he had for him to not pounce on me and fuck me senseless here and now.
“No regrets,” I whispered against his lips. “No exits. You’re forever stuck with me, your Forbidden Queen, and no one will take that power away from us. Not even our Goddess.”
My vow was big and yet I was so fucking confident in my words that nothing could tell me otherwise.
“Let me see all sides of this fucked-up world, Neo,” I demanded like it was my right. “Or I’ll cut your penis and make it the perfect art piece for your next gala.”
That completely caught him off guard, enough that he blinked away the animus presence and stared back at me in horror.
“Really?”
“Want me to fry it too? We could enjoy eating it afterward once I microwave it a bit,” I reasoned, and my sinister smile made him cringe and let go of me.
“Fucking hell,” he grumbled but immediately leaned in to lick the streams of blood from along my cheeks. “My crazy bitch.”
“First off, you love this crazy bitch,” I voiced and took a step forward until he was pressed against the island behind him while my now long arms cut off any way of moving around me and my height difference forced him to peer upward. “Or bastard. Depends which way you like to roll, mate.”
I couldn’t fight the sensation to switch any longer, and now this gender swap only awakened that cocky side of me that enjoyed grinding Dimitris’s gears. With Neo, I wasn’t sure which role I wanted to play, but in this heightened moment of decision making, he needed to understand that I wasn’t going to back down.
“Second of all, I’m not sure if I like when you call me bitch, though it’s a turn-on in a fucked-up way, so maybe I’ll let you keep doing it when I’m Willow.” My groin pressed against his, ensuring we both acknowledged our pressing hardness as our boners taunted one another beneath the tightness of our pants.
“Third, I want in, no matter if you have to bruise every spot of my flesh to appease the standards of your initiation.” I wondered if they each went through their own induction to be accepted into the Forbidden Pack. It surely couldn’t have been solely based on Dimitris's approval. There was a lot more to proving you were worthy of joining these elite wolves of forbidden grace, and maybe that was what Dimitris was waiting to establish with me.
Desperate to see me prove my true worth and what lengths I’d go for the sake of my own.
