Fighting For Control
Chapter Two: Giving Into The Brute
At ten I found myself heading towards the elevator and heading up to the roof. It was beautiful up here and as I stared down at the city below I got lost in what brought me here. I didn't even hear the elevator doors open or Cato walk up behind me. When he put a hand on my shoulder I jumped at turned to face him. I was greeted by what I could tell was his signature smirk.
"You came." He said still smirking, then taking a step forward and invading what I considered my personal space.
I took a step back in response, which just spurred Cato on to take another step towards me. "So why am I here?" I ask, it had originally meant to sound strong, me demanding answers but what I said came out in a soft whimper. Cato bit his bottom lip and once again stared down my body. I rolled my eyes and turned to face the city once again. "Not one for words are you?"
"I'd much prefer to show you why I wanted you here then tell you." He took a step behind me, closing what little space was between us before. His body was warm as he pressed it against my back.
I contemplated trying to leave but something screamed at me that this was my chance, a chance at experiencing something, anything before I died in the coming week. "Why me?" I found myself asking without really thinking about what I was saying.
"I can't really explain it, I just have a burning desire make you mine. I want to make you mine in every way, I want you all to myself, every part of you. Your mind, your body, your soul. I want to ruin your innocence and bask in the creature you become. I want to throw our bond in the faces of every person that has wronged you. I want the world to see I own every thing you are. And that no one can touch you again." He purred into my ear.
His words made my breathing hitch, my pulse quicken. If I gave myself to this brute I would forever be his. I found his words intoxicating, he chose to be up front and tell me exactly what he wanted. Which was something I wasn't used to, I was basically lied to most of my life. I bit my lip and thought seriously for a second about what something like this would mean. "You know only one comes out of the arena."
"I don't care, I need this now. Granted I'd prefer to take you home with me, I'm willing to spend what little time either of us may have left. Is it not better to live in the moment then let life pass you by?" He brought his lips to the crook of my neck.
The animal in me wanted nothing more then to be unleashed, to be devoured by this brute and lose itself to his touch. It was screaming at me to give in but a part of my brain truly questioned this situation. "What if I said no?"
"Well I wouldn't just walk away. I'd fight to have you, force you into submission. I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Its not that I just want you, I need you Peeta. You are going to be mine, you don't have a choice in the matter." He licked up my neck and nibbled on my ear causing me to shudder.
"You wouldn't force me would you?" I question, I hated that even though his words scared me I felt myself crumbling. He wanted me that badly? So badly no wasn't an option? I felt as if this was all a twisted perfect dream.
"I would prefer not to but I'm not above having to do it." His hands held onto the wall in front of me and he pushed himself against me even more. The pressure causing me to be squished against the wall in front of me.
"And if I let this happen, what exactly will this mean for me?" I just needed what ever this was clarified before I gave myself over to him.
"Well you would have to become apart of the career pack. We would protect you but you would be expected to pull your weight. Until then I'd want to to stay on the second floor with me. You'd be by my side twenty-four seven. You would have to give yourself completely over to me. What ever I asked, you would comply to. I hate secrets, when you felt something or had something to say, tell me. Not matter how much you think it would upset me. You would need to trust me with my life. Is that something you could comply to?"
"I, I would try but would that even be allowed? Me staying on the second floor I mean." I didn't want to ask him but he said to be upfront. I wasn't used to being expected to express what I thought and felt. Normally I had to sweep it under the covers and act as if nothing was wrong.
"Yeah I already talked to my mentor and cleared it with him." Cato replied, it clear in his voice he knew I was going to agree to this.
"You already talked to your mentor?" I was so surprised Cato had already planned this all out over the course of just one day. That's when I realise even though I felt safe and like I had known Cato all my live it had only been one day. A single day and he wanted me to completely surrender myself to him. "Don't you think this is moving a bit fast? I mean you don't even know me."
"I spent every waking hour working this out since I saw your reaping Peeta. And yes I'm pushing you into this at a fast pace but when our life could be cut short within days why hold back, why waste time questioning instead of enjoying it? It doesn't matter that I don't know everything about you yet, we can learn those things while spending what time we have together. Peeta all I need you to do is say yes and I'm telling you that you won't regret this." Cato spinned me around so I was now facing him. He looked down at me, his eyes dark and possessive. I could see it now, I didn't have an option. Cato had to have me, he had to make me his.
"Don't you find my tail and ears weird?" I ask, my last ditch effort to possibly stop this.
"No, I think they are cute. And I know that means you probably have a few tricks up your sleeve when it comes time to enter the arena." Cato says, and that's it I ran out of excuses.
"I, we, fine. I give myself over to you Cato." I say my eyes unable to move from his.
Cato's cocky smirk returned before he suddenly smashed his lips into mine. His kisses were ferocious and wild, he was untamed fire and power. Even his lips overpowered and meant to control me. Cato would now own me, I willingly became his. "So time to get some sleep then?" He asks pulling away.
His kisses had left me breathless. I simply nodded before Cato took my hand and pulled me along. It didn't take long for us to make it down to the second floor. When the elevator doors opened we were greeted by Cato's mentor Brutus. I was a little put off that he was waiting for us but Cato just dragged me along to the table. We sat down and I waited in silence, not sure what was happening.
"Welcome to District Two's floor Peeta. Before I let the both of you disappear into Cato's room I need to make sure you are fully aware of what this situation means and how it will effect the coming days." Brutus calmly says, his voice was not as scary or monstrous as I had expected. I mean he looked intimidating at first glance but after hearing him speak I was surprised at how civil and well manned he was.
"Okay." I say softly, still unsure of my new surrounding. I mean I was essentially in the lions den right now.
"By allowing Cato to 'claim' you, you are essentially allying yourself to District Two. That means you, while still be recognised at the male tribute from District Twelve, have no more ties to your District. Enobaria will now become you acting mentor. While Portia and Effie have expressed a desire to stay on your team should you want them to." He explained.
"Are you saying Haymitch does not?" I ask suddenly feeling hurt, I thought he was coming around to be alright with me.
"Essentially yes. After Cato came to me I approached your mentor and escort. Peeta you need to understand Haymitch has always had a distaste for the career districts. That and He doesn't agree with your partnership with Cato. But that's fine, Enobaria has stepped up to be your mentor. You'll met her tomorrow before you head down to training."
Every thing he said made me second guess what was happening but I couldn't back out now. I was Cato's and truly even with my reservations about him and this situation I did want to be here. "I understand and I would much appreciate if Effie and Portia could still be apart of my team."
"Very well. You boys go and get some rest, you both have a big day tomorrow." Brutus smiles, which put me off, before standing and walking to his quarters. I wasn't used to this level of kindness and acceptance.
Cato stood and I follow closely behind him. While I was now a welcome guest I still felt safer staying close to the brute, my brute? I shaked the thought out of my head as we walked into Cato's bedroom. It was very similar to the one I had. The only difference was the colour. I sat on the end of the bed unsure of what to do next.
"Peeta this is your room now as well. Don't be afraid to do what ever you want. I'm going to take a shower." He kissed me on the lips hard again before heading over to the connecting bathroom.
I looked around the room before deciding I was tired and just wanted to sleep. I pulled off my clothes but the was stuck with the dilemma of what I was supposed to wear in bed. What would Cato expect me to wear? I thought it over and decided I'd just play it safe and sleep in my top and boxer-briefs. I crawled into bed before pulling the blankets up over me. I closed my eyes, they were now heavy as I was exhausted. Today had been an emotional rollercoaster. I heard Cato come back from the bathroom and slip into the other side of the bed. I felt his arm wrap around me before he pulled me into his arms and onto his chest. Well he knew what he wanted I'll give him that. I rested my head on his chest letting his heartbeat lull me to sleep.
When I woke up I had forgotten where I was. I just knew I was warm and happy. When I realised I was laying on top of someone my memories of last night came flooding back. I was surprised at how well I had slept on top of Cato. I went to move but realised I couldn't, I was stuck in Cato's hold. I sigh before stretching, this causing Cato to wake up. "Morning." I said quietly.
"Mmm morning cutie." Cato tilted my head up before pressing his lips against mine. I shuffled up his frame to make it easier.
That's when my upper thigh brushed against a hard mound of flesh. I froze for a second realising not only did Cato have morning wood but he had been naked the whole night. I was slightly uncomfortable at how comfortable he already was with me. Then again it's not like he had been subtle at all before. There was a loud knock at the door and before I could move off of Cato Effie charged in with her usual over the top cheerfulness.
"Morning Peeta, time to get up. We have a big big day ahead of us." She didn't even flinch at our position.
I rolled off Cato who I could tell was annoyed at her intrusion on his alone time with me. "Morning Effie." I say getting out of bed. I expected Cato to stay there while Effie was in the room but he just got up and headed towards the shower. All his hard glory in full view for Effie to see.
"Oh my well, um, Peeta, right Peeta I trust Brutus explained a few things to you last night." She says obviously trying to rid the image of what she had just seem from he mind.
"A little yes." I reply my tail not used to being able freely move in the morning seemed to have a life of its own. "I'm sorry to make things differcult."
"Non-sence my dear. I think it's quite cute. The brute and the baker, I have so many ideas on how to get you both many sponsors." She chirped. She handed me my uniform. "I'll be outside waiting at the breakfast table."
I nod and take the clothes. Once she had left I started to pull off the clothes I had slept in. I heard a moan come from the bathroom before hearing my name. At first I though Cato was calling for me but then I realised he was calling my name for a whole other reason. I felt my cheeks being to burn red, the thought of what he was doing while thinking about me was to much. While part of me was intimidated another part begged me to go and find out just what Cato wanted to do to me. I contemplated my options for a second before dismissing the part of me screaming for sexual release. I changed my underwear and just as I pulled the clean pair on Cato walked out, as naked as he had been walking in.
He walked up behind me before snaking his arms around my waist. "You know it's going to happen at some point right."
"I do, I'm just I guess scared. The whole first time thing is a big hurdle." I say letting him kiss my neck and feel up my body. I was still amazed that even though I was so uncomfortable I couldn't bring myself to stop him. A part of me wanted, needed, craved this kind of attention.
"You'll like it don't worry." Cato confidently tells me before letting go and pulling on his uniform.
I did the same, and once we were both dressed we headed out to breakfast. When we arrived at the table everyone else had already started. I sat in-between Portia and Cato, though it didn't really last long. Cato pulled my chair right up against his. I turned and smiled apologetically to Portia who just smirked and raised an eyebrow. Around the table was Effie, I assumed Cato's escort, Clove, Brutus and then Enobaria. She was a stunning looking woman, slim and tall. Long dark hair and perfect skin. It was her teeth the put me off. They were filed down into sharp razor points. Something she had done after famously winning her games by ripping another tributes throat out with her bare teeth.
Her smile was sweet though, she seemed to genuinely hold no distaste or malice against me. "It's nice to officially meet you Peeta."
"Like wise." I said softly.
"Please don't be intimated by the teeth, I'm here to make sure you have the best chance of coming out alive." She says while eating what was on her plate. "I want you to stick close to Cato and Clove today. Try and find a weapon you are comfortable with using and train with it."
I nod at her instructions while I ate. It amazed me how one small decision could turn my chances of survival around.
Brutus then cleared his throat. "Now I don't want to get your hopes up kids but there have been rumours floating around that there will be a twist in the games. President Snow feels like the people are growing bored of the same old thing happening every year and with the third quarter quell next year he wants to get the people of the Capitol excited for what the next games could hold. I've been informed that the twist will have something to do with how many tributes are able to win this years hunger games. I don't know how many or what the twist will be but we will do everything in our power to try to insure all three of you have a fighting chance."
Clove seemed indifferent about the news but I saw Cato light up at the news that he might be able to get us both out. I was happy too, if I could make it out of the arena with Cato maybe my life would be one for the better. Sure the idea of being with Cato for years scared me but if I was always going to be his at least I would always have someone there to support, love, care for me. I continued to eat and listen to Brutus only pausing for a second when I noticed Cato slip a hand up my thigh. I was beginning to realise he was a very physically affectionate and possessive person.
After breakfast we were escorted down to the training floor in the basement. Effie wished me luck as we headed in. We thankfully weren't the last to arrive. I noticed a few of the tributes look at me funny. I wasn't sure if it was because of my tail and ears or the fact the I had arrived with the District Two tributes. Cato possessively pulled me into his arms so my back was flush against his chest. He must have started to glare at them because the majority quickly turned away in fear. The last person to arrive was Katniss, walking in alone because I was no longer staying on the twelfth floor with her.
When she came into eye line I shyly smiled at her but was disheartened by how she responded. She glared angrily at me before flicking me off and turning away. I was so hurt and confused. I hadn't done anything to her, she had been someone I had always looked up to. I finally let something I wanted happen and she looked at me like I had sold her soul to the devil or something. I knew at that point as much as Cato would probably hate it I had to try to explain to her what was going on. I was so deep in thought I didn't even hear what the trainer in front of us had told the group. She then dismissed us, it was now time to train, and prepare for the chance I would soon be dead.
