They pulled up to Sasha's apartment, Jimmy turned to her while putting the car in park.

"Adam will be here later, Terry decided to take him in so that you could come home."

He pointed to the Doberman, "You have Bruce to watch you."

Bruce perked his ears up at the sound of his name. Sasha smirked down at him and patted his back. He watched as Sasha and Bruce hopped out of the vehicle.

He poked his head out of the window, "We have men over at the docks. So far all we've found were guns and empty tunnels."

Sasha quirked her head, "leading where?"

Jimmy stared at her until she understood what he was talking about. She scoffed and shook her head, "he's not going to find anything."

Jimmy watched her as she walked up into her apartment. He put the car in drive and looked up at the large casement windows. He stopped and looked closer, he could see two gold eyes peeking through. Jimmy blinked and they were one, he glanced around wondering if he was seeing correctly.


Bruce scurried into the bedroom to grab his bone, Sasha dropped her coat on the chair. She looked around the apartment but it was empty, she sighed and headed for the bathroom. She closed the door and stepped in the shower.

Sasha let the water fall over her body as she stared at water flow down the drain. She washed herself up and turned the shower off, it was foggy due to the humidity of the warm water and Sasha reached out for a towel. She finally felt the cloth and wrapped it around her body and stepped out. She hissed when she stepped on something sharp.

Her eyes glanced down to see a red rose on the tile, she leaned over to pick it up and head into the bedroom. Sasha stopped when she could see someone sitting on the armchair in the living room, looking out the glass balcony windows. Roman watched the city and the many people below by the Riverwalk. There were children running and laughing below and she noticed him staring at them in particular.

Sasha slowly made her way into the living room, drips of water falling down her body. Roman didn't look at her, but she knew he could hear her. She looked down at the kids, having entirely different thoughts about them than he did.

She swallowed and decided to speak first, "What are you?"

She could see Roman turn his head, he stared at the floor while the side of his face was visible. She walked closer to him, sitting down on the foot stool in front of him.

He looked her over, "Whatever I want to be."

She frowned at him, "What's the real you?"

Roman looked out the window, he was surprisingly calm, "You don't want to know."

What kind of answers were these? She thought. But as she thought more about it, maybe he was right, maybe she didn't want to know.

"Why are you Roman when you're with me?" she asked

Roman looked back down at her, "Because you want me to be."

"I never told you that," she replied

"You didn't have to."

Sasha considered his blue eyes, "So I'm assuming you enjoy being…" She searched for the name, "Pennywise the most?"

He sat quiet.

She looked around awkwardly, "Are you a boy or a girl?"

He smirked at this question, "I can be both."

She raised her brows at this response, "Alright then."

He seemed to enjoy her reaction.

"Where are you from?"

He placed his elbows on his knees as he stared at her, "Not earth."

She raised a brow, "So your like… An alien or something like that."

"Something like that."

"What else can you do?" she asked

Roman glanced down at the flower in her hand and picked it up. He held it in front of her face and Sasha watched as the rose started deteriorating in his hands, falling apart on the floor.

"Well that's new."

She still had so many questions, but he didn't seem to want to talk about it much so she remained quiet. Roman placed his hand back on his long leg. Sasha did the same and twiddled her fingers. Roman reached over and pulled a piece of fabric down to look at her collarbone. Her marks were nearly gone.

Roman looked at her green eyes, there were strands of her wet silver hair falling over her face. He hesitantly lifted his hand and wiped them from her face. He pulled his hand away after tucking the hair behind her ear.

Sasha smirked at him, "Thank you."

He didn't say anything and instead looked around. Any time she acted this way towards him, it made him uncomfortable and she could see it on his face. Sasha scooted her seat closer to him and placed a hand over his. He watched her, she hated how small he made her feel. She looked up at him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

His body was tense at her touch and his hands remained in the air, unsure of what to do. She held him tight and she could slowly feel him ease into her hug. His long hand held her back while she buried her face in the crook of his neck. He held onto her until he slowly pushed her away. She looked at him as he stared at the ground. Sasha softened her eyes and reached for his face, pulling him into a kiss.

She leaned back and smiled at him, he didn't show any emotion in his face but continued to stare at her. His mouth twitched and he leaned back down to kiss her again. Sasha kissed him back while he sat her up on his lap. His mouth moved from her lips to her neck, she closed her eyes and savored his touch. He pulled off her towel and threw it to the ground, he continued kissing her skin but didn't bite.

Roman stopped and placed her on the fuzzy rug below them. Sasha laid on the ground as she watched him crawl over her. She held his arms and he kissed her again until sitting up and throwing his clothes off. His blue eyes watched her and trailed his hands to her face, rubbing his thumb over her lips.

She looked down at his naked body, Roman leaned back down to kiss her as he lowered himself into her. She let out a breath and laid her head back, his hair fell over his face as he stared at Sasha's reaction in an almost curious way.

She wrapped her leg around his waist and he thrusted his hips as he continued to kiss her. Sasha smiled in his mouth and lifted her hand, snapping her fingers and shutting off the lights.
