10. Her Heart: Lost
A bright, vivid splash of scarlet threw itself across the maiden's cheeks; her teal crystals widening at the question. "W-what?"
Ace smirked, his crimson eyes leering at her, enjoying her reaction. He slipped one of his hands from her touch, gliding it down the front of her body. "You heard me."
Alice shivered, her blush stretching to her ears as she struggled to pry him away. "A-Ace! Let go! What do you think you're doing? !"
Ace's smirk intensified with her struggles; slipping his fingers towards the hem of her gown. The foreigner trembled. "I'm making you my valentine."
Without so much as a chance to catch her breath, Ace toppled on top of the girl; his knees slyly pushing her legs apart while his hands gripped her wrists like iron cuffs, pinning her onto the moist soil beneath him. Alice blinked in confusion, trailing her gaze to his chin, then his lips, and finally meeting his eyes; chills rushing throughout her spine at the lustfully evil stare that bored into hers. It was as if he was invading her inside and out, showing her his actions beforehand.
"A-Ace!" the foreigner squeaked, trembling underneath his broad form. His tattered jacket displayed a private curtain around the girl; hiding her from view. He leaned his head forward; his tongue trailing in a long, sloppy lick up her neck. The brunette shuddered uncomfortably, growing queasy. "Wh-What are you doing?"
"I already told you." The knight's breath was hot against her skin, causing her blush to deepen. "I'm making you my valentine. Your mine, Alice."
He chuckled darkly, his tongue pressing against the girl's skin and sliding up to her jaw line, searching for her lips. Alice struggled underneath his iron grip, but this only seemed to encourage him.
"Ace, s-stop it! Right now!" Alice ordered, but Ace silenced her with a kiss; his tongue pushing deeply into her mouth, intertwining with hers. Alice's eyes went wide in shock, unable to comprehend the movement the knight was making above her.
Though she could not see it, Alice could feel his hands pulling together- removing the gloves that attached themselves to him quickly. Rather than given the chance to use this as her escape, Ace quickly grasped both of her wrists with one hand; the other sliding down her front.
"Wh-What is your hand touching? !" Alice demanded, her tone coming out like a stunned mother as Ace groped one of her breasts. The brunette squeaked, banging against the ground, hoping to release herself from him. All that did was bring him closer. "Stop it! Let me go!"
"You're so sensitive, Alice." Ace murmured, his lips at her ear. He grinned mischievously, his tongue lapping at her lobe. Alice shuddered, a small, shameful noise coming from her throat.
"A-Ace, I mean it. If you don't stop… I… I'll…" Alice tried to threaten, but Ace's hand had slid its way underneath her gown; toying underneath. The knight smirked as she squeaked; her body growing rigid.
"You'll what, Alice?" he asked in amusement, watching the flushed faces she made as he toyed with her- both emotionally and physically.
"Stop. I… I'll…" Alice tried again, her voice weaker this time; her breath growing into pants. She hated him for this. She couldn't stand it. Unfortunately, it didn't matter in situations like this. Her feelings were nothing compared to the greedy force that restrained her from control of her body, allowing the knight to continue his assault. She tried to fight, but there was only so many times she could fight this, wasn't there? Would she ever grow tired of it? Would it just be better to let them all screw her and finish the game that way, rather than-
WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING? ! Alice thought to herself in shock, interrupting her own former thoughts. No, those weren't hers. They didn't belong to her. Those were ideas from this spell; thoughts that urged her to give into lust. There was no way dear, sweet Alice would confess to such passion. Ashamed and disgusted with herself, Alice fought to regain her body- closing her eyes tightly as Ace continued playing with her empty shell for a body.
"You say you don't want it, but your body says something else." Ace breathed against her neck, biting down slightly on her shoulder; her body squirming underneath him. His teeth sunk into her skin, leaving a mark before he pulled back up; blood pigmented eyes staring gleefully at the woman below him. "You're delicious, Alice. I want to eat you up."
Concentrate. the foreigner thought to herself determinedly, trying to ignore the seductive words spilling from the knight's lips like honey. You have to concentrate! If you don't, he'll… She stopped at that, shuddering at the mere thought.
"Will you let me eat you up, Alice?" Ace whispered, smirking against her neck- sending another small lick across her skin. "You're already wearing such a sexy dress… You didn't think I wouldn't want to have you, did you?"
Alice remained silent underneath him; her expression tight in concentration. She couldn't have him bothering her; not at this moment. She had to get through this- for the sake of her sanity!
"Alice…" Ace hovered overtop of her now; his expression strangely serious and aroused. His fingertips trailed across her cheek, grinning at the blush that followed it. "You're so sensitive…"
WHACK!
The knight's head reeled to the side; crimson eyes wide and confused at the sudden contact that had come to his face. He gently reached for his cheek, feeling the red stain and tingling motion underneath. His expression went hollow as the brunette took this chance of his uncharacteristic actions to slip out and begin running for her life.
It didn't take long for Ace to catch up.
"Wait a minute, Alice. Don't you want to play?" That false, pretending smile of his mocked the girl- her wrist captured by his hand. "I know I do." He eyed her hungrily.
"Leave me alone, Ace!" Alice demanded, shaking her wrist angrily, breaking free once again from his hold. The knight smiled in amusement at the girl struggling to run from him; tripping on several tree trunks and such nearby.
"You'll never get back to the Jokers if you keep falling like that." Ace teased. Alice paused, whipping her head around to face her assaulter.
"…How did you know I was going to see the Jokers?" the foreigner demanded, backing away uneasily when the knight stepped forth; pausing a few feet away from the foreigner.
Grinning widely, Ace replied, "They sent me to come get you. They were tired of waiting."
"…Why did they send you?" Alice demanded, taking another step back. Why would the Jokers send Ace? Were they even friends? She had trouble picturing the knight agreeing with the redheads for any moment in time. They seemed like the types that would be naturally annoyed by his charades.
"Why don't you come with me and find out?" Ace offered, holding out a hand towards the girl. Alice glared at the palm, quickly shaking her head.
"N-no. I'll find them on my own." the brunette assured, taking another step back. Ace raised an eyebrow, smirking as the foreigner quickly spun around, running out of sight.
"WHAT THE F*** DO YOU MEAN, YOU LET HER GO? !" Black roared, storming back and forth angrily across the prison; scowling at the knight before him. Ace's false grin only irked him more.
"She said she'd come here on her own. I thought she'd make it here by now." the knight said simply with a careless shrug, leaning back against one of the cell bars. Black growled, irritated.
"When I f****** give you a God damned order, you're supposed to f****** follow it." the warden hissed, pointing his whip at the knight. Ace rose a challenging eyebrow, smirking.
"I did. You said, 'Get the f****** w**** here now, even if you f****** have to take her down to do it.' I tried both, so I didn't disobey you." Ace pointed out. The prison guard huffed angrily, one hand gripping the front of his wine red bangs.
"F****** idiot. She's f****** weak as hell! How the f*** weren't you able to bring her here? ! You said you f****** took her down- well I don't f****** see her here!" the warden shouted. Ace shrugged.
"I did take her down- straight to the ground." the knight smirked deviously, recalling the memory. "She's really sensitive, you know. Any little touch drives her crazy."
Black stopped his pacing abruptly, standing upright at the knight's words. "What the f*** did you say?"
"I didn't get to screw her, but I was close. She punched a little too early." the knight complained, childishly rubbing the spot where she'd hit him. He glanced up at his boss, surprised to see his frame discreetly shaking. "Joker?" He smirked, quickly understanding. "Ah, did Joker want to touch Miss Alice, too~? You'll love her expressions; they're so-"
His speech was abruptly cut off by a piece of stone flying past his face- missing by inches. Ace blinked in confusion, eyes locking with that of Black's infuriated single red one. He burst into laughter, a wide grin spread across his face.
"Ah, so you did want to touch Miss Alice~! I wonder what she thinks, hmm?" Ace teased, sidestepping as another stone came whirling past.
"If you want to f****** keep that smile on your face, then GET THE F*** OUT!" Black roared, tossing another stone- taking it from some loose spots in an empty cell.
"I have to go anyways. See you later, Blackie~!" Ace taunted, waving quickly before fading back to the circus- barely missing another larger stone coming his way.
Black gritted his teeth angrily, his hand balled into a fight fist. "I'll kill that son of a bitch."
