C H A P T ER - F O U R

I screamed into the kiss and yanked my head back when I finally realized the needle was deep inside my neck. I could feel the liquid drug burning through my veins and I thrashed to break free of Kadaj's grasp, but the teen simply grinned at me and held me down firmly until the syringe was finally emptied.

"You son of a bitch!" I screeched at him. "You crazy son of a bitch!"

Kadaj laughed and leaned in to lap up the tiny trickle of blood that was oozing from the tiny wound in my neck. I couldn't help but shiver at the feel of that hot wet tongue running over my flesh. The Mako in that drug was pumping through my veins, sensitizing every nerve in my body. It wasn't in my imagination. I could distinctively feel every little patch of fabric where it touched my skin. My eyesight moved from a lacklustre version of the tiny bedroom to a bright and enhanced version in a single blink. The very motion of breathing made my lips and tongue tingle in pleasure. The room began to spin around me and I leaned in to lay my head on Kadaj's chest in fear that I may topple over.

"Mnm…incredible, is it not?" I felt Kadaj purr into my ear. "And that's only the first dose. It gets ten times better after the second shot."

"Y-Yeah…" I stayed with my face buried in the boy's chest, inhaling deep his incredible scent and listening to his almost thunderous heartbeat. I wanted so badly to punch him in the throat for injecting me with this poison, but I just couldn't muster up the strength or even the will to hurt him. "…Incredible."

The young assassin chuckled and cupped my chin so that I could look up at him. My eyes locked onto those glowing cat-slits and the Mako in my veins allowed me to see my own reflection in them. I looked like hell from what I could see in those pools of emerald and cerulean.

"You're…you're pretty." I mumbled up at him. "Like…real pretty. More so than most chicks I know."

The silver-haired youth giggled and nipped the tip of my nose. "You're cute. I think I may keep you, Re…Ree-no…Ray-no…Ree-noo…Hmm. I don't like your name."

I laughed, a bit louder than expected. "At least my hair isn't grey like some old person."

"It's not grey!" Kadaj pouted. "It's silver! There's a difference! At least mine isn't dyed."

I frowned. "Dyed?! The hell you mean 'dyed'? This is my natural colour."

"Lies."

"So not, yo."

The teen fiddled with a few strands of my hair, a soft smirk on his lips. He was clearly not all there at the moment, and if I hadn't been floating on some cloud and giggling like a little schoolgirl, I would have used my interrogation skills to get a bit of information out of him. Goddamned drug…

Kadaj tilted his head and smiled at me. "You wanna kiss me, don't you?"

"What makes you say that?" I asked, trying to play it cool.

The assassin giggled and ran his hand up my shirt to caress my chest and stomach. My breath hitched at how my nerves reacted to his touch and a gentle moan escaped my lips. His hand was cool and soft.

"That does." Kadaj purred, grazing his nails over my chest. "I've seen the way you look at me. You want me. Admit it."

"No." I shook my head stubbornly.

The teen grinned and captured my mouth in a fiery lip-splitting kiss. I groaned loudly and returned it in kind, basking in the taste of the young assassin on my tongue. Sure, yeah I wanted him. I wanted him badly. But, I would never admit it. The kid wasn't right in the head. Who the hell knew what he'd do to me if he found out.

Kadaj bit down hard on my lower lip and I hissed at the vicious sting. He continued to kiss me through it all, and I tasted my own blood on his mouth. Kadaj sucked at the wound on my lip, making it sting even more. My eyes watered.

"Mnm…" He pulled back, his lips swollen and stained in my blood. "You taste so good."

I panted, smiling despite my aching lip. "Y-Yeah?"

"Yes." Kadaj teased my ear with his tongue. "You wanna see how I taste?"

I shivered and gave a quick nod. I watched curiously as the vicious little teen pulled his knife from his back pocket and made a small cut on the side of his neck. The kid didn't even wince as his blood began to slowly trickle out of the wound. He must have been pretty used to pain.

"Here." He leaned in towards me. "Have a taste."

I stared at the cut for a few moments, feeling my mouth go dry. What the fuck was I doing? Drinking someone's blood…it was animalistic. Inhumane. What, was I some kind of vampire? I wanted to back away but my eyes stayed locked on that little crimson stream running down cool pale skin. My heart began to race frantically. Those drugs were really getting to me.

I wanted him so bad.

Before I could stop myself, I dove in and closed my mouth hungrily over the cut. My tongue lapped away at the warm bitter tasting blood. Kadaj gave a hot groan of pleasure and clutched the back of my hair, which nearly did it for me then and there. I sucked on the wound, cringing a bit at the taste of Mako on my tongue. My wrists strained painfully against the cuffs as I leaned in further. I wanted my hands free. I wanted to wrap my arms around Kadaj and pin him down and make him scream for me.

But, I couldn't. I was his prisoner. His little pet. He was the one in control here. Not me.

As I continued to work Kadaj's neck with my mouth, I felt the teen's hands slip down the back of my shirt. His dug his nails painfully into my spine and slowly scraped them up my flesh. I hissed as I felt the skin tear beneath his nails and I looked up at Kadaj's beautiful satisfied face. He was such a little sadist. He loved causing me pain, especially when the Mako in my veins made me all the more sensitive to it.

"Tell me you want me." He whispered.

I smirked, and couldn't believe the next words that came out of my mouth. "Make me."

I'm so fucking dead.

Before I knew it, I was roughly shoved back against the radiator by Kadaj and devoured once more by his sweet mouth. His kisses were so fierce and painful and merciless, just like his personality. I loved them. I kissed back with equal ferocity, and my breath hitched when the kid's hand suddenly slipped beneath my pants without warning. I moaned loudly at the feel of his soft cool hands rubbing and stroking me with equal roughness as the kisses. My nerves were so sensitive, I felt as though I may release right then and there. Holy fuck, it felt so good…

The silver-haired teen smirked wickedly at me. "Say it."

"N-No…" I gasped sharply when he squeezed. "Ohh…f-fuck…"

"Hmm…" Kadaj frowned and pulled his hand away from me. I whimpered in protest and watched as the kid quickly stripped himself of all his clothing. My eyes widened at the mere sight of his naked body. Porcelain skin practically sparkled in the moonlight over taut strong muscles. My mouth watered and I leaned in closer to him, even though the cuffs were digging painfully into my wrists. My breathing quickened. I needed to get closer to him. I needed it so bad…

He purred and tilted his head. "You want me?"

No. Shit, Reno, don't say it. Don't give into him. He's a master manipulator. He's dangerous, cruel, and downright evil. Remember what his plan is! Remember all the innocent lives that will be lost because of him! Remember…

"Yes…" I breathed. "Yes, I want you."

Kadaj grinned and stood up to walk back over to the table where he snatched up the other two syringes. I purred and eyed his lean naked physique admiringly. He came up and straddled my lap, pressing against me in all the right places with his cool skin. I groaned shamelessly.

The teen pressed one of the needles against my neck, his eyes glinting darkly. He said nothing at all, but I knew what he was asking me. He wanted me to take the full dose with him. To reach that full and glorious high together as that poison pumped through our veins. I could not resist, no matter how hard I tried. This boy did things to me. To my body, to my mind. I couldn't understand it. I couldn't control it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to.

As the second injection of Angel Tears stabbed into my neck, I whimpered and tipped my head back to allow him full access. It burned as it flowed into my bloodstream, and I felt queasy. My head swam as though I was suddenly underwater. Every nerve in my body suddenly went haywire, and I shut my eyes tightly. My senses were so powerful now. I could hear the breaths flowing from Kadaj's lips, and the chatter of people walking in the streets outside, and even the sounds of Yazoo and Loz walking around downstairs at the bar. It was unreal. Almost superhuman.

As I opened my eyes, the sight of Kadaj nearly made my heart stop. I could see him so clearly now. Every soft strand of silver hair, every pore in his fair skin, every long dark eyelash surrounding those glowing mirror-like orbs. When he saw how the drug affected me, he smiled and kissed me again. Gently, this time. That surprised me, since Kadaj was far from a gentle person. I didn't mind it, though. He didn't do anything other than softly massage my lips with his in an almost caring way. My sensitive mouth tingled at the contact, making my eyes flutter.

When the boy pulled back, he didn't hesitate to drive the final glowing syringe into his own arm. He gasped softly and tilted his head back with a pleasurable purr as the liquid drug emptied into his body. I could feel him shaking slightly on my lap. Once finished, Kadaj tossed both syringes to the side and wrapped his arms around my neck, the expression on his face reminding me of a kitten that wanted to cause some trouble. I grinned at the thought of what he was planning to do with me. My mind was in too much a fucked-up state for me to really care at that point. There was nothing I could do. No way I could fight back or even say no against anything this little assassin could throw at me.

With a slight lick of his lips, Kadaj reached around my body and unclasped the cuffs from one of my wrists. I groaned when I pulled my one free arm out of its position. It was so sore and numb, I had a feeling it may fall off at any moment. I wanted the other hand free too, but I knew Kadaj didn't trust me enough to do that. We may be high and practically fucking each other, but we were still enemies.

Kadaj took my hand and wrapped it around his waist. "I want to make you mine, Reno." He smiled and nipped my throat. "I want to keep you, forever."

I shuddered and ran my hand over the boy's body. "Mnm…I'd like to see you try."

Okay, seriously, what the fuck was I thinking?

Mental note: drugs and horniness are a bad, bad mix.

My clothes were practically torn right off me in a matter of seconds as Kadaj growled, his eyes flashing lustfully. Teeth sank into pale sensitive flesh, tearing away and lapping up hot crimson vitality; nails scraped and tore; hair was clutched and yanked as our moans echoed through the small dark bedroom. And before I knew it, I was pinned back against the radiator, screaming and moaning in sweet painful ecstasy as Kadaj slammed inside me. Deep, fast, merciless.

Anyone in their right mind probably would have called it rape, but I didn't. Probably because my mind wasn't all there. I wanted this. I wanted him. It had been this way right from the second I locked eyes with him. Of course, I myself would have preferred to top him since he was younger, smaller, and more feminine looking than me. But, Kadaj was in control. He was my master, and I was his pet. Can't say I was really complaining, though. It felt amazing as our moans fused together to a single passionate chorus of pure bliss.

"K-Kadaj…" I groaned, digging my nails into the boy's back. "Oh my God…"

The teen panted hard into my ear as his thrusts became deeper and more insistent. I groaned and threw my head back with a cry as my bare back scraped painfully against the metal radiator. I trembled beneath the boy and my insides heated up as though a furnace had suddenly been turned on inside me. My vision swam beneath the damp red hair that stuck to my face. It hurt like hell, but Dear Gaia did it ever feel good. It was a good kind of pain, like the kind you feel while getting a tattoo. It's a pain you enjoy, you want more of. And I definitely wanted more of this little assassin. I had gone too long without a good hard fuck, and Kadaj was the perfect person to satisfy my craving.

The beautiful teen stared at me though a fringe of damp silver bangs. "You…you belong to me, Reno. After all this nonsense is over and done, I want to have you by my side in the end. You are mine now, and no one else's. Is that clear?" He snatched up his knife from his discarded pants and pressed the blade to my chest. Without hesitation or even slowing down the pace of his hips, Kadaj slowly carved an X on the spot right above my heart. The cut was deep and would very likely leave a vicious scar. "Cross your heart and hope to die. You are mine, forever."

I whimpered and gave a sharp cry at the pain throbbing from the cuts. I could feel my blood pouring from the wounds and my eyes watered at the vicious sting. Kadaj smiled wickedly and lapped the blood up as he continued to fuck me. I groaned, my mind a complete and total haze. I could hardly understand what the hell was happening around me. From the drugs, to the sex, to the wounds…my senses could hardly take much more. I was going to plunge over that sweet edge. I could hardly even understand what Kadaj was saying. I…belonged to him? Did I hear that right?

"Say you are mine." Kadaj hissed into my ear, his nails leaving scrape marks down my chest. "Say it…"

I whimpered as I felt tightness build up in my lower abdomen. I was so close to that edge Kadaj was so good at pushing me over. No...No, I couldn't say it. I shouldn't say it. It would be too much. I would have gone too far.

"Say it, Reno." Kadaj pressed our foreheads together and stared deep into my eyes. Those green cat-slits were so hazy.

"I…I…" I panted and threw my head back with a scream as I finally plunged over the edge and released all the white hot pleasure that built up inside me. My body thrashed and bucked through the wave of orgasm, even as Kadaj joined in my chorus of sweet ecstatic cries when he too finally took the plunge. It was sweet harmonic bliss that all too soon crept away and left us both totally exhausted. I could feel the teen collapse onto my body in a sweaty heap, both of us panting hard. It took a few moments for him and me to fully recover from the pain and the passion. Everything was a blur. Faint traces of the drug still remained, but we were both still pretty high.

Kadaj nuzzled his face into my neck. "Say it."

I panted and traced my fingers over the angel wing tattoo painted on the boy's back. "Mnm…I'm yours…"

The assassin grinned and kissed the painful X carved into my chest, before closing his lips over mine in a soft kiss. He purred and curled up on my lap like a little kitten, and we both quickly passed out in each other's arms.

I'm so fucked.
