A/N: hey guys! It's Lemonade again ^_~ . Pink and I have finally found a consensus. She's kind'a upset because the story did follow the original (angst) story line. So we made a compromise. She wants her drama, I want my fluff (not to mention SHORT-_-) so instead of torturing Jack, we'll torture Chase =). She gets her angst and I get my fluff, both of us are happy. So here it goes, hope you enjoy.
Jack felt like he was floating. He's mind was spinning, whether it was from the mind blowing kiss he received from the baron or from the lack of oxygen from said kiss, he didn't know and right now he didn't care. He could feel the baron's hand caressing him everywhere, along his sides, his chest, arms legs everywhere. He became mildly conscious that he was laying down on something soft. He opened his eyes. He didn't even know when he had closed them and he found himself at the center of a huge four poster bed with his master hovering above him. He felt confused. Somehow instinctively he felt that something was going to happen and that he should be afraid but he could only feel calm and warm form the older man's hands, while before they seemed cruel and cold. He didn't dare talk the entire time fearing his master's reactions.
Chase touched every part of the boy he could. The boy was lovely, his scent was intoxicating driving him insane and yet soothing at the same time. The creature inside him was purring and urging him to move on. The beast was impatient, he wanted his mate and he wanted him now! The beast began thrashing and even threatening rape if he didn't move quickly enough but he reined the beast down. He would not allow losing control at this moment.
Chase looked down at the boy, that delicate face housing such beautiful eyes obscured slightly by long lashes, right now showing a mixture of confusion, helplessness and submission with arousal. A cute little nose and those sweet, tender and succulent lips he so completely adores. Looking at the boy like this, he finally understood. He loves the boy.
For a long time he had denied, clawed and fought the idea of him finally succumbing to the once emotion he had ridiculed and laughed at as a weakness. Yes, that was it, he had been truly afraid of admitting that he was in love. He didn't like the idea of not being in control since it was something he was not accustomed to but now, now he understood and now he accepts whole heartedly and it felt wonderful. His chest felt like exploding now that he had admitted. He love and care he had felt for the boy in the first place. From the very first time he had seen the boy he had felt something special for him and dare he say it, fallen in love at first sight, as cliché as that might sound it really felt like that. He had been so obsessed with the boy. Every waking day he would unconsciously look for the boy to the point of stalking because in truth he wanted to be with him, to never be apart. He wanted to be able care and love him. He wanted this child to be his companion. The one he shall spend an eternity with. That's the reason he didn't like the boy associating with other, he felt the desire to monopolize the boy from the start.
"master?" the boy looked at him with uncertainty bringing him out of his musings.
And for the 1st time in a long time ever since he could remember, he smiled. A simple, unadulterated, genuine smile. He had never felt like this before it was oh so new but a very welcomed feeling. His chest felt like bursting from all of the love he felt for this beautiful and wonderful child. The complete and perfect embodiment and innocence, fragility and kindness all wrapped up into this delicate package. And somehow, he experienced a sense of gratefulness to find such a rare and magnificent person.
Jack seeing the master smile like that made his heart skip a beat. The fierce lines of his master's face softened and it truly made the baron more handsome than before if that had been possible. He felt his heart beating wildly and butterflies in his stomach. He was swooning. The baron truly did look breath taking like that. The baron looked oh so gentle. It almost made him forget everything around him.
Seeing the look of adoration from the child made Chase's heart flutter even more (who would've thought that specific organ was still alive in him). He looked down tenderly at the boy caressed the younger one's face softly. He purred when he felt the boy rubbing the palm of his with his cheek. It was at that point that he decided that he was willing to do anything for the child. Anything at all. He was prepared to do everything in his power to make sure that the boy would stay by his side at all times.
"My beautiful boy… my precious angel…" he crooned while he continued his exploration of the boy's face. Touching and caressing the skin with his finger tips like expensive porcelain.
Jack blushed even harder. No one had ever called him beautiful not to mention someone considering him very precious to them. He had always been unwanted and shunned. And for someone to actually say that to him he felt really happy. The way that the baron considered him as his, it made him feel safe and secure.
Chase leaned down and captured the boy's lips once again. His hands started their journey of the boy's body but the clothes were in the way and decided to remedy that. He gently took off the boy's shirt and what he found underneath made him stop.
The boy's body was covered with scars and bruises. Angry looking scars and some still wrapped up in bandage. It made his heart ache. He felt that he couldn't even breathe.
These scars, they were made by him. There was a painful twist in his gut. He felt nauseated and queasy. He had made then by his own hands. He had taken his anger and frustration out of the boy. A precious and kind boy that didn't deserve this.
He was filled with so much shame, so much guilt. It hurts so much. He had never experience this much pain. A pain originating from deep within him, crawling and gnawing all of his insides until he felt retched. How could he have done this to the one he loves? This abomination was sickening. He felt so angry. Angry at himself for allowing such travesty to be be done especially to someone as precious to him as this child.
He traced the whip marks gently with his fingers as if fearing to cause more injury and pain than he had already done. He felt his heart shatter as he gazes upon the abused flesh of his beloved.
These scars do not belong here, he thought.
Each mark was angry and he was sure that they would be permanent. An eternal reminder of what a true beast he is for only a real monster could do something as sinister as this to someone as perfect as this young one.
It was no wonder the beast was lashing out at him. Its innate instinct to protect and care for its mate has driven him to the brink of insanity.
Yes, it was his duty to protect and care for his mate… and what had he done?
He was the one to hurt the person he had been destined to protect. Instead of love he had cultivated hate. It was a surprise the child wasn't lashing at him right now. He knew he deserved it. No, he deserved something much worse.
He was filled with a sudden fit of rage. He was so furious at himself. He was sworn to kill anybody whom has wounded his mate and what was he to do if HE himself was the perpetrator. He wanted to bash his head on the wall or anything. He wanted the boy to kick and scream at him for what he has done.
Jack trembled as he saw the baron's change of facial expression. He had seen the master angry and it never bode well. He suddenly felt terrified. Had he done something to upset the master? He started shaking and tears welled in his eyes. He suddenly felt so foolish letting down his guard, now he was going to get it. The master doesn't only look angry; he looked absolutely furious and livid. Jack suddenly feared for his life. Was this the end? Will he ever see his sister again? More tears came forth and he was sobbing and shaking uncontrollably.
Chase seeing his loved one in such a state caused him to be alarmed. He was in a state of panic, had he hurt the boy again?
"My angel, what's wrong? Please tell me, I hate seeing you in such a state…" he tried soothing the child but the boy was too terrified to hear him
"Master, I'm sorry… P-p-please forgive me, it didn't mean to do anything wrong… P-P-P-Please spare me, I'll be good I promise… " the boy kept crying and muttering them over and over again.
The baron was grief stricken. The boy was completely afraid of him. Something he once priced himself to induce to people now only caused him so much suffering. Seeing the boy's terrified state, he felt completely helpless.
But he knew he deserved it.
