"Luke, I.." Those words were all I could utter as he got closer and closer to me. I backed further into the wall. After we left camp, we got a small apartment in the heart of New York. We hardly ever left in fear of being found or attacked by monsters. Occasionally, I could feel my father trying to communicate with me. Telling me that Luke was no good for me and that I should go back. Even though he was a god, he still possessed that sense of weakness and defeat. It was as if Luke had become too powerful for his own good. I couldn't, and I wouldn't listen to my father. I couldn't tell whether or not it was the twisted feeling of revenge or the sweet reverie I felt when I was with Luke that took me over. It was similar to Gabe's scent, the man who was ugly on the inside and out that my mother used to cover me up with. Except it wasn't ugly. Something about what we had concealed us from the outside world.
I couldn't leave even if I wanted to now because I belonged to Luke, almost as if I was an item or a pet. "Percy, you're mine. You know that.." He purred into my ear as he curled a strand of my hair in his fingers. If he treated me like a human being for a change instead of a possession, maybe I would at least show him my real self. Maybe I'd be the one dominating him. I knew that idea was just a pipe dream, though. There would be no switching of roles. Ever.
"Percy, my love.. Go get the ropes. It's time." This had become one of our rituals. I would have to go get the ropes, and then he would have his way with me. I couldn't put up a fight. I had to submit myself to him. There was really no way around it - I didn't hate it, but I didn't necessarily love it. I quickly retrieved the ropes from the closet and brought them back to my master. "Good boy." He smirked. "Are you going to undress yourself, or do I have to do that for you?" He chuckled. It took me a moment to get the hint. I finally began to slowly remove my shirt. His eyes were glued to me the whole time.
I tossed it on the floor and began to unzip my jeans. He licked his lips and began to stroke the ropes in his hands. I really felt like some small animal.. Maybe a deer. Now I can finally say I know how animals who are being stalked by their superiors feel. He would be ready to 'attack' any minute now. Once I was completely in the nude, I began to slowly walk over to him. He began to remove his own shirt and his my eyes slid over his abs. I loved Luke - I wasn't going to lie. Our situation was just very bizarre, and he was into different ways of showing that he loved me back.
"Come on, Perce. Sit on my lap. Don't be so uptight about this.." He said. I obeyed his command and took a seat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close. "This is really unlike me, I know.. But do you want to take this towards the bathtub?" His longing blue eyes waited for an answer. "How are you going to tie me up in the bathtub? You mean you made me get the ropes for no reason?" I smirked. "I know I haven't been treating you the best lately.. I'm just trying to find a good strategy, that's all. Plus, you love the water.."
Taking a relaxing, steamy bath didn't sound like such a bad idea right now, so I gladly obliged.
