"Just relax" was the first words Duncan told Courtney as she stepped into the dimly lit room. There was a small table set up in the corner of the room, stocked with food. Courtney could tell Duncan was watching her as she moved across the room and sat down at the black comfy chair. Duncan came to join her soon after, although he didn't eat much he intently watched Courtney eat.
She daintedly cut her meat and put small portions into her mouth. Then dapped the corners of her mouth with the napkin. Duncan chuckled and took a sip of black wine, "Courtney, you know there's no one here you need to really impress. Please, you must be hungry".
Courtney put down her fork slowly and dove right into the chicken with her fingers. Duncan watched in amusement as she gobbled the food down, he poured some wine into her cup. "Try the wine" he said. Courtney stopped eating for a moment and wiped her mouth off. "I'm not about to underage drink and neither should you. Do you know that teens who drink early than the legal age are more likely to have a alcohol addiction" she stated.
Duncan threw his head back and laughed, "Oh man princess you sure do crack me up. I'm not even sixteen, I'm frozen in time at sixteen years old but I'm somewhere into my middle ages by now". He laughed again at the horror that struck agaisnt Courtney's face, "Then it's not legal for you to marry a minor!"
"Weren't you listening? I said I was frozen in time at sixteen, so relax drama queen you're fine."
Courtney returned to eating but after a moment she glanced up at Duncan. "Why do you keep staring at me while I eat?" she said disgusted. Dunca shrugged, "No reason. You fasinate me that's all". He pushed his chair back and walked behind Courtney's chair, he ran a hand down the side of her face gently. "How can such a creature" he started, "Like you be so head strong about things? You would be so much more better if that pole was out of your ass".
Courtney smacked his hand away, "Don't touch me. And there isn't and has never been a pole any where near my hind quarters".
Duncan laughed harder this time, holding the back off his chair for support. "You make me smile so much Courtney. You are so proper, like a china dol that needs special care, but I can see you're also a lioness that can protect herself when provoked. Do I provoke you?" he asked calmly staring deep into her eyes.
Courtney purposely avoided his question by one of her own, "Why don't you get along with Perry?"
Duncan's face expression completely changed when she uttered his name. "Perry is what I like to call a smoocher. You Perry doesn't really take into consideration the power that I hold. He jokes around a lot and causes trouble, the guy will get you harmed Courtney. Stay away from him". Duncan moved to the window and pulled back the tattered curtains.
Courtney scooted her chair out and stood by him, "He seems like a nice guy. You would be too if you would-" she stopped in mid sentence when Duncan's eyes seemed to bore into hers. She felt him grab her arm tightly and squeezed, "If I were to what darling? It's bad grammer to leave a dangling particable like that".
Courtney tried to twist out of his grip but he was too strong. "I'm just saying, you would be a nice guy if you gave people the chance to get to know you. Specially me! I'm supposed to marry you and I know nothing about you". She felt his hand loosen up a little on her arm and then release it. Only to let it run through his green mohwak and sigh in fustration.
"What do you want to know?" he asked sitting down on the edge of the bed. Courtney came and sat a little further off, "Everything."
"I can't tell you everything. But I can give you the basics" he sighed as Courtney waited for him to begin.
"I was aducted into this by my father when I was thirteen. He had gotten old and could no longer perform the job as well, so I was made to take over the row as grim reaper. My father took everything away from me, my life, my friends, my family, but most importantly he took her away from me".
"Who?" Courtney asked quietly.
Duncan sighed thinking it over as if should tell her. "Her name was Felicia, and she was the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. It was like her body and soul had been carved by the angels. I was supposed to marry her when we came of age but my father took her away" he made his fist into a tight ball.
"He was just jealous that are relationship was a bond so strong that nothing could break that. When he gave me this job, he took her heart away from me and her heart grew cold and she could no longer love. I told her that I would come back with her and we could have a child that would rule the underworld. But she left this Earth before I could reach her".
Courtney had been listening intently, "Is that why you made a shrine to her down in door X?"
Duncan laughed a little, "It's not a shrine, her soul is imprisoned in that. If no one in life could have her then no one in death shall ever. I am trying to find a way to bring her back to this world with me but...I haven't found the answer yet".
Courtney was very surprised that Duncan had opened up like that and shared to her his one true love. Of course she knew that she could never replace her and she didn't want to either, they had a bond that couldn't be broken. "How did you meet Gwen?" she asked knowing that he wouldn't talk any more about Felicia.
"Gwen and I met while out on the round together. She's the soul a pointer, she can tell when people are going to die and how. Gwen is really my best friend here".
A thought came to Courtney, "Then why do you kiss her all the time if you two are just buddies?"
Duncan laughed, "Gwen runs low on power and my way of saying hello and restoring power is with a kiss. You shouldn't think to much of it". Duncan turned and looked her in the eyes, "Is there anything else you wanted to ask me?"
Courtney thought a moment and the number one question came to mind. "Why are you marrying me?"
"You know why" he stated simply. Courtney shook her head vigoresly, "I know why but why can't you find some other girl?"
"I could but ma wants me to marry you and have a child by you. Mother knows best".
It was Courtneys turn to laugh out loud, "So your a mama's boy huh? I thought you were all big and bad but your not!" she noticed Duncan's brow started to forrow a little but she kept going. "You sitting here confessing your love for some other girl and here I thought you were a tough man. Let's face it you're nothing but a poser, someone who will always run home to mommy" she knew that she had went way over the line but was interested to see what Duncan would do to her.
Duncan was seething mad but regained his composure. Standing up abruptly he waved his hand over Courtney who was then being carried to the end of the bed where her arms and feet were bounded to the bed. Trying to set herself free Courtney said, "Oh so now you what to be tough man. Well show me what you got mister".
Duncan gave her one of his famous smirks, "Oh I'll show you what I got darling". He climbed on top of her and started to caress her sides and kiss her neck temptedly. When he started to bite down gently on her collarbone Courtney let out a gasp and tried to push him away but her hands were bounded by his magic. "Don't try and run away now honey" he growled in her ear, "The fun is just beginning".
"Duncan, please" she begged but was quickly hushed by Duncan running a finger across her lips. "You are so hot you know that?" he said in her ear he then bit her ear lobe softly. "Please" she said again but this time it came out in a breath of a whisper.
"That's right Courtney beg" he said he then kissed her exposed skin on her neck, moving his way down he said, "I want you to beg for me to stop. I want you to know that I'm your master. Say it!" he demanded.
"Never" she spat out. In response he bit down harder on her neck leaving little teeth marks.
"Say it" he urged and ran a hand up her now expose legs. "Just say that I'm your master and you will obey me". He reached down and kissed her legs gently moving back up to his most interested spot, her chest.
"I don't belong to anybody" she insisted.
Duncan began to kiss the top of her exposed chest that was still within the comfines of the dress. He started to unzip little by little of her dress. He stopped midway from the top, "Say it".
Courtney had closed her eyes and through clenched teeth said, "No".
Duncan shrugged and unzipped the dress all the way to the middle, "Come on Court just say it and maybe I'll stop".
"Never!"
Duncan unzipped the dress all the way down and proceeded to pull it away from her body, he pulled it all the way down to her navel. Courtney shirved but not from the cold air but from the hands and fast kisses of Duncan's lips on her upper body. But she lost it when he bit down extra hard on her neck, drawing some blood.
"Okay!" she shouted
Duncan stopped his actions and looked up at her, "Okay what?"
Courtney had tears that dared not fall from her eyelids, "Okay you're the master and I'm under your command".
Duncan gave her a wide grin and stroked her face, "Was that so hard, love?" he removed himself from her and got off the bed. He crossed her room to the door, "You know I'm going to leave and give you some time to think about what you've done. When I return I have a little surprise for you, that is if you're a good girl."
He winked at her before closing the door behind him as he left. Courtney then let the tears fall, they rolled down her cheeks as she felt how dirty and low she felt.
But the blood from her neck ran even faster.
