Cad Bane - Dark Woods Part 2
Western!AU Cad Bane and F!Reader (only because I like when Bane says Lil’ Lady too much)
@xinambercladx requested a sequel to my oneshot for more context, and after some thought I agreed there is more story to tell. So therefore my original concept is altered, but the story is consistent.
Amazing art by my friend @stormytitan
Warm and cozy, a young woman sat alone in her home. Outside the evening sun poured light through the green leaves of the forest. She waited for no one, because she lived alone, secluded and hidden in the woods outside of town, so she was alerted to the sound of approaching hooves breaking the peace. Although rare, she would occasionally get a visit from the sheriff, or possibly a lost traveler. She always welcomed both, and so when whoever was outside knocked on the door she didn’t hesitate to answer.
“Hello! How can I help–” Her friendly smile vanished as she looked up into the blood red eyes of her guest. Gasping, she quickly tried to close the door but the man’s hand came up and kept it open as he forced his way inside. He was tall and intimidating, with sapphire skin and scars covering his scowling face. The woman didn’t need to know him to know he was dangerous, but he was infamous around these parts. She recognized the notorious outlaw.
Cad Bane closed the door behind him, and trapping her inside. The woman felt herself shake. What did he want with her? She had never met him before and had nothing he would want. The man tipped his hat politely before he spoke. “Are ya alone, Lil’ Lady?” Should she lie and tell him there was someone on their way? Surely he would see right through her deceit.
