✤your childhood now feels like a fever dream… the sand under your feet, the damp air of the sea, white hair flying in the wind, tanned skin shining in the sun. as the daughter of an admiral, you grew sheltered, barely having any friends and no family because your mother died when you were only an infant. with maybe the exception of izana…
✤you caught him sneaking around in your mansion one time, wandering in the gardens. he was afraid you’d tell on him and that he’d get some harsh punishment when all he wanted was just to see what that grand house was about. you took pity on him and agreed to keep your mouth shut as long as he became your friend, which he reluctantly accepted.
✤izana had a difficult personality to say the least, not that you could really afford to be picky about your only friend, getting close to him was a hard task. He opened up to you very slowly, barely interested in any of what you were saying.
✤it was only one day, on a particularly shiny summer, that he finally started to be interested in what you were saying.
✤your knuckles were stained with your own tears as you watched your father’s ship disappear into the sea’s horizon. the soft breeze did little to console you, just like izana who looked either particularly awkward either didn’t really care much. how you wished you could accompany your father at sea instead of staying alone in that cold manor. you knew they said women brought bad luck on boats but still… How you wanted to discover the world. you choked back a few sobs before opening your mouth gently.
"did… do you… don’t you wanna go see the sea too ?"
✤izana’s eyes shone like they never did before, his hand landing on your damp knuckles and he smiled gently.
"it’s like you were asking me if I wanted to be free. of course i do, no one can be freer on land than on sea."
"imagine owning your own boat, going wherever you like, not caring about what anyone has to say about it, exploring the world and its treasures…"
✤your cries immediately stopped, that was the first time you saw izana looking so happy, he usually looked so… empty but now he was chattering like his life depended on it. you giggled as he kept going, his cheek flushing a dark red.
"what ? are you mocking me ?"
"no… it’s just… hearing you talk like that is so refreshing, you look cute."
✤he grew even redder, pestering you. it was one of the best afternoons of your life. ever since then, you grew closer, chatting about what the world had to offer and of course, as time went by, feelings developed. you were 14 when izana and you were separated.
✤grabbing your sore cheek, you made your way into the garden. even if you loved your father, he was still a strict man and harsh when it came to discipline. and let’s say that for a ‘proper’ lady, such as yourself, it wasn’t appropriate to hang out with strays (his own words) like izana. tears filled your eyes, you didn’t want to stop talking to izana but you also didn’t want to disappoint your father.
✤izana got up instantly when he saw you, the red on your cheek a stark reminder of the scolding you just received.
"did someone hit you ? who ?"
✤izana cupped your cheek, a strange glint in his eyes.
"i… i want us to stop seeing each other."
✤cold. the atmosphere suddenly became so cold in an instant despite the scorching heat and you held back a sob, not daring to look up at izana.
"so what ? now that you had your fun with me you want to throw me away ?"
✤he grabbed your wrist, pulling you forward.
"you think you can decide ? after everything ? you still think you’re not- !"
"you there ! you scoundrel !"
✤your father came up with 5 men who seized izana.
"you think you can do whatever you want with my daughter ? i’ll show you, you dirty bilge rat !"
"father no ! that’s not- !"
"let not another word escape your lips daughter or I shall kill this dog this moment, don’t you think you humiliated me enough !?"
✤you looked at your feet, terrified of the fate your father decided for izana, who was taken away. his gaze never left you, looking at you with a horrifying glint. that’s the last time you saw him…
✤this didn’t mean you forgot him. quite the opposite… everyday you lived with the guilt of not saving him. nut what were you meant to do ? you couldn’t do anything for anyone, you were a stupid little girl who couldn’t help anyone nor yourself. each time, you fell asleep in your sheets, dreaming of what could have been… this went until your 19th birthday, where it was finally time for you to marry. he was a good man, gentle, not particularly good looking nor ugly, just average. not like you had much of a choice anyway.
✤you looked at your feet as the maids finished lacing your corset, tying it so much that your guts were almost spilling out and somehow you wished they would. there is only one man for whom you want to wear that kind of dress, but it was impossible.
"you look magnificent, my lady."
✤you said without meaning it, glancing towards the mirror you watched the veil cover your face, hiding your lifeless eyes away. futy, honor and sacrifice, as your teacher always repeated you. this was our karma for abandoning him, you persuaded yourself. a soft knock resounded at your door.
✤the maid opened the door to your father, his eyes filled with tears.
"i can’t believe my baby girl is getting married today…"
✤he hugged you but you didn’t answer the tender gesture.
"i’m so glad you’re such an obedient and reasonable girl, your husband will be very lucky to have you."
✤you nodded, looking at the ground as he pulled your arm around his.
"come on, let’s not make your husband wait another second longer for you."
✤the organ was deafening in the church and each step you made towards the altar heavier than before. your husband looked genuinely happy, whereas your happiness was feigned. when your father let go of your arm, the other man grabbed your hand happily, smiling at you. you could only respond with a small and sad grin, hoping that the veil hid the sorrow in your eyes.
"we are here to celebrate the union of two souls."
✤the priest’s voice interrupted the small moment between you and your husband. you didn’t pay much of what else the priest said, until it was finally time to make your vows.
"do you, Lord Edward of York, take Lady [Name] of the Isles to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?" »"
✤lord edward smiled as he brought your knuckles to his mouth, kissing them tenderly.
« I, Edward, take you, [Name], to be my lawfully wedded wife,to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do us part. »
✤until death do us part seemed like a long time… the priest then turned towards you.
"Do you, Lady [Name] of the Isles, take Lord Edward of York to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?"
"I… I, Lady [Name] of the Isles, take-…"
✤suddenly there was some agitation outside, a ruckus caused by the homeless man who roamed around the church earlier or…
"well well… it’s not good having all the fun without us…"
✤the crowd screamed as dozens of men made their way inside laughing, smiling like hungry wolves. and amongst them… his hair had gotten slightly longer, his skin more tan and his eyes… empty, even more than yours.izana. he was here, he was alive. if the context was different you’d be happy to see him but his ‘friends’ armed to the teeth meant only one thing : he was here for revenge.
✤your husband furrowed his brows, unsheathing the sword at his side.
"[Name], the back door, go and get help and then get to safety."
"no buts, no one is putting my woman’s safety at risk."
✤you nodded reluctantly, making your way towards the backdoor, when you twisted the knob, an imposing form blocked your way.
"that’s not where the main show is little missy."
✤his grin sent shivers down your spines, the back of his hands tattooed with symbols you couldn’t understand, a chain dangling from his left ear. he yanked you by the wrist harshly, bringing you back to the altar.
"unhand me this instant !"
✤he lifted you by the arm, making you stand up on the tip of your toes, it hurt so bad you almost shed a tear. izana lifted his gaze, unseating his sword from your husband’s belly, his limp form falling on the floor. you gasped as your old friend made his way to you. he yanked your hair back, forcing you to meet his eyes — a cruel smirk dancing on his lips
"wow you look awful. Is that getting married feel like ?"
✤you gritted through your teeth, not out of anger more out of disbelief.
"damn you still remember my name ? I am honored, but I guess even a prissy bitch like you still remember the name of the mutt she once cared for."
✤he brought you to your knees by the hair.
"is that how you always saw me ? i understand why you liked me so much, having someone beneath you feels… exhilarating…"
"captain…we brought him.."
✤your father was shoved on the ground, bruised and weak.
"all of that to keep me away from your daughter, only for me to come for her…"
✤he chuckled, kneeling beside you, his hand still tangled in your ear.
"vile scoundrel, she’s the only reason you’re still alive !"
"really ? then i should thank her properly, don't you think ?"
✤he pulled you closer, smashing his lips onto yours. you had often imagined your first kiss with izana to be tender and soft not… like that. he shoved his tongue in your mouth, chasing yours and occasionally biting your bottom lip softly. this was so vulgar it made your head fuzzy and a weird heat made its way between your legs. you wanted to push him away, to get away from this man you once loved but a little part of you couldn’t deny you were enjoying what he was doing to you.
✤after an eternity, he finally let go of you, a string of saliva linking your two mouths. He licked his lips, a weird glint in his eyes.
"all of that work to keep me away from her… only for me to seize her like that… kakucho."
✤a man you hadn’t seen before walked up to izana, handing him a knife. You yelped, trying to protest but he yanked your hair back again. Grabbing it, he grazed your jaw with it, going downwards until he reached the cleavage of your dress. Your eyes widened.
"shut up. struggle and I’ll slit your throat open."
"i should have killed you when I had the chance, you dirtbag !"
"but you didn’t. and now you’ll die here, knowing that, in a few hours, i will make your daughter mine and ruin her for anyone else."
✤before he could finish his sentence, your father's throat was cut open. you screamed, tears filling your eyes. izana let the knife fall on the floor before covering your eyes, whispering with a sickening sweet voice to your ear.
"this is what you get for betraying me [Name]… "
✤and under all that pressure and that sadness, you fainted.
✤you were rocked back and forth by some strange force you’ve never felt before. it was…. oddly comforting. you still wanted to sleep a little more, wrapped in those silk sheets. suddenly you remembered… the wedding… Lord Edward… your father… the blood… izana… you gasped for air as you got up suddenly. in a cabin. izana’s for sure.
✤some letters were scattered on the dark floor of what you could only guess was a boat. a door, dangling by the effect of the waves was opening and closing, revealing a private bathroom with expensive products neatly placed there. a big table was sitting in the middle of the room, probably where he held meetings with his subordinates, a map held from falling off only by a knife which was stabbed onto the wood.
✤he made it, you sighed. he was free. and he used his freedom to hurt you and to kill your father. memories of your father’s blood pouring on the floor as his throat was cut open came into your mind, you covered your mouth with your hands. you wanted to puke. how could your gentle friend do such a thing… you had to get out of there. now.
✤you got up harshly, intending to run away only to be yanked back by an unknown force that choked you. what the… sèddenly the coldness and the harsh metal around your neck was painfully clear. he collared you. like a fucking dog.
"I’d advise not to struggle too much, it would be vain and ya’ll only choke yourself to death."
✤a man, you recognized as the one who gave Izana the knife to threaten you, made his way inside, a trail in his hands.
✤you say trying to step away, only to have your feet tangled into your wedding dress that you were still wearing. he sighed, placing the tray onto the bedside table.
"i understand yer situation my lady, but getting worked up in the middle of the sea will do you no good."
✤he nodded, pointing at the little windows you hadn’t paid attention to earlier.
"oh my god… what the hell am I going to do…."
✤you hid your face in your hands, tears threatening to fall. he had taken you away. for good.
"do what yer told, that’s the best advice I can give ya. izana has developed quite the temper, it is best to not anger him."
"ya mean the man who tortured him till he was almost dead for years ? That piece of shit got what he deserved."
"don’t call my father a piece of shit you dirty scoundrel !"
✤the chains clinked from your harsh movement.
"what else should i call him ? all of us were children and he tortured us, for the sole crime of izana talking to ya. he hit ya too, right ? izana told me. he even sold you like cattle to a man you didn’t love only for his interests."
"this is… you don’t know anything about him ! this is my duty as a woman and I must- !"
"your duty ? I don’t know anything ? then why do you look more alive being kidnapped by a pirate than at the altar with the man who was supposed to be your husband ?"
✤your eyes widened as you scowled at him. this wasn’t true… you were just… that’s the shock that’s all. you didn’t… you couldn’t possibly…
"anyway, eat. yer gonna need it. izana will join you tonight, i don’t have to spell out what that means right ?"
✤he went back to the door, throwing you a dark gaze.
"everyone here has been saved by izana, don’t expect anything but pity from anyone here. what my captain desires he gets."
✤he slammed the door shut, leaving you with a cold soup and a lot of thoughts…
✤it was only at night that izana came, a bottle of alcohol in his hand. he didn’t look like he drank any of it though. he took off his heavy coat, dropping it unceremoniously onto the table because making his way slowly towards the bed, he did it on purpose, knowing how anxious it made you.
"you look like such a pretty pet like this."
✤he pulled your ankle with a strange gentleness which didn't exactly quite suit his new ‘him’. he kissed the sole of your foot as if you were the most precious thing in the world. you yanked your leg bad, refusing to go along with whatever that was, but he caught it, refusing to let you go.
"i’m in a good mood, don’t ruin it."
✤the glint in his eyes left you no room to argue. he fumbled with your skirts, pulling them upwards, you shut your eyes tightly, not daring to move an inch.
"you play coy now but you weren’t so scared back at the church."
"really ? then prove it."
"climb on top, then kiss me. we’ll see what that does for you."
"quick. i’m no patient man and you know it."
✤you grit your teeth as you struggled with your skirts to climb on top of him. his gaze shone with approval.
✤you held back an insult, you were no pet. the collar didn’t instantly make you one. you got closer to him, pecking his lips softly.
"come on, you know better than this. i want that little tongue pet."
✤you boiled with rage as you parted your lips kissing him open mouthed. you weren’t sure what to do with your tongue, you brushed against his gently but you weren’t sure that felt good. right when you were about to pull back, izana held your head in place, lips locked with yours. like in the church he devoured you. grabbing your wrists, he pulled them behind his head, directly into his hair.
✤he was very eager, groaning between each breath he granted you before diving back in, as if you were the tastiest meal he ever had, you pulled his hair slightly, trying to receive as much of him as you could. refusing to let yourself be swayed that easily, you bit down on his lip, drawing blood. grunting, he retaliated doing the same to your mouth he just ravished.
"across the sea, there live some tribes that exchange their blood like this, do you know what that means ?"
✤you pant, holding onto his shoulders.
"it’s an oath. a promise. now promise. promise that you’ll be mine, that you’ll always stay with me."
✤he put his knee up between your parted legs.
✤he was manic but behind that glint in his eyes was fear.
"say it. say that you’re mine, that you’ll stay with me forever."
✤his knee brushed against your core across your panties and you gasped. you’ve never felt like that before.
"izana I feel weird… i can’t…"
"say it. and I’ll make you feel better. "
✤your head was fuzzy, just like that time in the church and you could barely form a coherent thought.
"i’m yours, i’ll never leave you again, i’m sorry… forgive me."
"atta girl. come closer, i will take care of you."
✤he kissed you again pulling your body onto his lap, your core against his thigh.
"rub where that feels good, okay ?"
✤you nodded, kissing him again as you rubbed yourself onto his thigh, a weird need between your legs. why did it feel so good? he cupped your ass, helping you rub onto him. each movement made your core grow even hotter. he kept kissing you and you felt the ache between your legs getting closer and closer to being satisfied.
"you’re mine. you’ve always been."
✤he groaned into your ear, making you whimper.
"that’s it. good girl, don’t be scared."
✤you wrapped your hands around his shoulders as you felt your climax growing closer and closer by the second.
✤your head was a mess, you didn’t know what you were even asking for !
✤he grunted, out of breath as if he waited for this moment forever. your body understood every word your hips bucked, your center throbbing with each beat of your heart. your eyes closed as you felt tears feeling your eyes again. what the hell were you thinking ? that man killed your father.. you couldn’t possibly…
✤as you drifted into sleep, izana hugged you closer than ever. almost wishing you two would fuse together. taking advantage of the fact that you were asleep, he slipped your wedding ring around your finger, matching the one he stole the day before. you were finally back… back with him.
