Ruin couldn't believe it, well he did, but he just didn't want to.

He was the one that left her all hot and bothered the other night. What did he expect? He still couldn't help feeling angry though. She was there the day Gideon attacked him yet she still runs to him...

Ruin always wanted women he could never have. He thought she would be different, but Gideon complicated things. The old man obviously had some kind of pull on her.

Maybe [y/n] lied about them having a history. No. He didn't want to believe that she would lie to him.

He should probably just let her go before things got really complicated, but goddamn it he wanted her and he usually got what he wanted.

Ruin hoped deep down that he was wrong, that they were in there just talking and enjoying each other's company. That woman is irresistible though, one minute with her and all blood rushed from one head to the other.

Why'd you have to play the good guy, Donnie? He would ask himself that question forever.

How long had he been standing in that same spot?

Suddenly the door opens and [y/n] walks out smiling. She turns to hug Gideon and Ruin doesn't like how long he holds her.

He tries to pretend he was walking down the hall and she spots him. "Ruin, hey." She smiles at him and he almost forgets that he's supposed to be angry. "Hey," he says refusing to smile.

"Where are you off to?" she asks.

"Just going for a walk. What are you doing here?" Ruin asks emotionless.

"I was bringing Gideon something for his birthday."

"I see. Did he enjoy it?" He was going too far now.

"Yeah, he did." She looks at him and furrows her brow. "Are we talking about something else?" she asks.

"I don't know, are we?" Ruin stares at her.

Shaking her head, she starts to walk away but Ruin follows her. "Did I leave you so sexually frustrated that you had to run to him the very next day?"

"Excuse me?" She stops walking and turns to face him.

"I saw the way you ran into his room like you just couldn't wait."

"We had cake, that's it. Please take your accusations somewhere else."

Shit. "I..." he starts.

"You what?" she cuts in and Ruin stays quiet. "I'll talk to you later, Ruin. Goodbye." She walks away and this time he doesn't follow. He was back to being called Ruin now, she was pissed.

"Fuck," Ruin says to himself. He needed to get back in her good graces. How? No idea, but he had to think of something good.

Your POV

You were furious.

Is that really what he thought of you?

Why did it matter what he thought anyway? Even if you did do something with Gideon, Ruin had no right to judge you, did he?

Just when you were starting to open up to him, too. You try not to think about him anymore. You knew he was going to try and make it up to you, but you were going to make it tough. No you weren't. You can't resist that man.

Gideon didn't even try anything the whole time you were there, you were surprised. Did you want him to try something? No...maybe...you didn't know. Deep down you were still attracted to the Captain, it was hard not to be. He could drive you crazy at times though, just like Ruin. Why were you attracted to such hardheaded, feisty men? Was there even an answer to that question? Maybe you just liked the challenge.

Whatever the answer was, you had to figure something out. You take your phone out. A text from Ruin: I'm sorry I was a fuckin idiot. Let me make it better, pls :(. Yeah, we'll see about that. You call Ilona.

"Hello, [y/n], what's wrong now? You're not pregnant are you?" she asks.

"What?! No! If I was it would be by immaculate conception," you say quietly.

"What?"

"Nothing. Listen, I need to talk to you."

"Okay, I'm free now, get over here." Ilona says.

"See you soon." You hang up and make your way to Ilona's place. When you get there and she opens the door, you give her your most pathetic look. "Help me."

"Get in here," she says. "What's happened now?"

You sit on her bed. "Well, I made out with Ruin. It could have been more, but he stopped."

"He stopped? What the hell is his problem? I can see why you're upset." Ilona sits next to you.

"That's not the problem. The thing is...well, I baked Gideon a cake for his birthday and I brought it to him. He invited me in and we enjoyed some cake together."

Ilona shrugs. "Okay..and?"

"Ruin saw me go into his room and he thinks Gideon and I had sex." You finish and take a deep breath.

"Did you?"

You shake your head. "No. Gideon didn't even try to touch me at all the whole time I was there."

"I don't see the problem," Ilona says.

"I just...maybe I should stop this whole thing. Maybe I should try dating a man I don't work with. It'll make things so much easier," you say.

"Alright, but is that what you really want?" You look at Ilona. Why did she always have to ask the hard questions.

"Honestly, I don't know what I want right now. I don't know if I want Gideon. I don't know if I want Ruin. I just don't know." Your head is in your hands now and you're on the verge of tears.

Ilona puts her arm around you. "You know, it's totally okay if you want them both, it happens. Just calm down, I don't want you ending up in the hospital again especially over some men."

You wipe your eyes. "What am I going to do?"

"You need to do one of those men. Or both," Ilona jokes.

"Ilonaaaaaaaaaaa!" You shove her away. "Sex would just complicate things."

"Yes, but you would feel so much better." She smiles at you. She's probably right, but you just didn't know. "Okay, I'll be serious now," she says. "You have to do things at your own pace and you have to stop caring what people think. Ruin thinks you fu- I mean, had sex with Gideon, so what? He doesn't own you and the same goes for Gideon. Don't let these men take over your life."

You pull Ilona into a hug.

"But please, for the love of God, have sex with at least one of them so you have some interesting stories to tell me next time."

You push her away again. "Why are you so interested in my sex life? Don't you have one of your own?" you ask.

"That's none of your business, young lady," she says.

"That's not fair!"

"Stop whining."

You leave Ilona's room without any information on her love life, but you feel a little better.

You are lost in your thoughts until a familiar voice calls your name, a voice that belonged to someone you weren't exactly on good terms with at the moment. He catches up to you. "Hey [y/n], can we talk?" Ruin asks.

"You can say what you have to say, but I can't promise I'll have much to say, Ruin." You continue walking no matter how bad you want to stop and stare at him. Why does he look particularly amazing right now? you think.

"Okay, I deserve that," he starts. "I was wrong to assume that you had, well, you know, with Gideon. Jealousy makes you pretty fucking paranoid and stupid sometimes."

"Stupid is right," you say. "Though if I did have sex with him, it's not like you could change anything." That struck a nerve, Ruin wouldn't even look at you now.

"Can you spare me the mental image of that? I can't bear it," he says.

"Is that all you think I want or something? All I'm good for?" you ask.

"What? No, of course not. If that was the case I would have...taken you when I had the chance. I'm not saying I don't want you, but it has to be right, you know?" He knew how to say the right things at the right time didn't he?

You wanted to try something. "What if I told you that I wanted you right now? That I wanted you to make love to me?" You stop walking and look at him.

"Is this some kind of joke? A test?" Ruin looks completely dumbfounded.

You shrug, "Maybe its how you can make me feel better after hurting my feelings earlier."

"I, uh, well...really? I mean if that's what you really want I ain't gonna turn you down. To be honest," he moves closer so he can whisper in your ear, "I've wanted to make love to you for the longest." It sends a chill down your spine and makes your legs weak, but you don't let him know.

"For the longest? You've only know me for a few weeks." You smile up at him and he smiles back. "I'm a man, sweetheart, a couple of weeks is a very long time. Do you know how hard it was to stop myself the other night? With your legs wrapped around me and your mouth on mine...I could have easily pushed you up against the wall and had my way with you." He was staring at you now, his eyes full of lust.

You wanted this just as much as he did. Now you were dumbfounded.

"I'm not a romantic kinda guy, but if you want me to play music and light candles, I will. Can't promise I'll be gentle though." When he said that, you were surprised you didn't moan on the spot. He was going to talk you right out of your clothes and...you kind of wanted him to.

You would probably never feel this confident again and God knows you wanted it. Here goes nothing...

"Who said anything about being gentle," you say and walk away from him.

You turn to see if he's following. His eyes trail down your body then back up, he takes a deep breath and follows you into the building.

You little vixen. Ilona, get ready for a very interesting story.

There was no turning back now...actually there was, but you didn't want to turn back...
