you sinner

Kennedy's eyes widened as she was shoved against the wall, letting out a quiet gasp as she made eye contact with Gabriel. Her stomach flipped as he spoke, trying to twist away from him but all she could accomplish was turning her head so she wouldn't have to look at him. Wouldn't have to focus on just how very blue his eyes were. She was visibly shaking as she pressed against the wall, refusing to look up from the spot her eyes had found. "Whatever fae is, I'm not it. Whoever lied to you," she whispered, closing her eyes tightly. "It's a lie. I'm sorry," she finished, jumping when the drawer dropped to the ground. Turning to face it, Kennedy froze as she caught sight of just what lay in the drawer.

"Don't you... don't you have normal clothes?" Kennedy tested, closing her eyes. "Please."

Adrian raised an eyebrow, reaching out to grip Heidi's ankle in his hand. He smirked as he ripped her foot out from under her while stepping forward to force her to fall. He let out a low chuckle as he stepped around her and when he was up to the stair where her head rested, Adrian reached down to lace his fingers through her hair. Without a word, Adrian began to drag her up the stairs by her hair. "If all you're going to do is misbehave, you're going to fuckin' regret every moment of your life here and oh, sweetheart, I'm going to love it," he whispered, throwing her down to the ground when they reached a pair of dark brown french doors. "Understood, pet?"

"Really, now?" Gabriel mused. "There are plenty of ways to find out what you are." A faint smirk played on his expression; his cold glare never breaking as vicious thoughts passed through his head.

An eyebrow raised at Kennedy's words. Gabriel sat back and slouched in his chair, sighing deeply. "You shouldn't question the man who puts clothes on your back, dear rabbit." he chuckled. The moment was quick however, and as his eyes narrowed for a second, the amusement quickly faded from his face, as if he was already beginning to lose patience. Gabriel's mood swings were known for being unprovoked and astonishingly blatant. "You could go naked." he spoke with sudden dryness, appearing to shrug lightly.

Heidi let out a surprised cry, partially catching herself on her knees to prevent a painful head bump. She stay still for a moment in shock, before pushing her torso upwards in an attempt at standing without using her arms. "You s--" her words were cut short as her head was lifted by her hair, and she gritted her teeth in pain. Her feet tried to keep up with Adrian's speed as she was dragged along to remove pressure, but it was futile, and she barely kept her balance. She staggered forward when she was released, falling to her knees. She breathed heavily from shock, her hair falling over her face as she stared at the floor in disbelief for a few seconds. Raising her head to look forwards at the doorway, she found herself wanting to bow her head again; her neck was sore from the whole stairway ordeal. Heidi's eyes closed briefly, and she breathed out gently, swallowing. "... Understood."

Kennedy visibly paled at Gabriel's suggestion, looking up to him with wide eyes. She shook her head, pressing her back against the wall. "Please, no. I... I haven't," she winced, closing her eyes tightly. She didn't want to admit something like that, feeling like it made her all the more vulnerable and yet, she hoped that it would somehow keep her safe. Taking a deep breath, Kennedy opened her eyes and glared at the floor instead of looking up to meet Gabriel's intense gaze. It made her want to shrivel into a ball. "I've never. I'm no good for you. You should just let me go."

Adrian reached down to brush his fingers over her head, feeling rather triumphant when she displayed that she understood. Slipping a hand inside his coat jacket, Adrian produced a small set of intricate keys. He unlocked his bedroom door and nudged her inside with his foot without an ounce of guilt. Kicking the door shut, Adrian turned to lock it back up. Whether she tried to run or not, the lock would delay her long enough that no matter what sort of headstart she got, he would be able to stop her. Poor thing. "You are not to go roaming throughout my home without permission. You are to keep your head down and when I have guests over, you are to be seen and not heard. Simple, even for someone like you, I would think. Yes?" He asked, shrugging his jacket from his shoulders. He tossed it over a chair before making his way over to the king sized bed in the middle of the room.

Gabriel's brows raised at Kennedy's reaction, shaking his head slowly. "No, no I haven't," he mocked, a sardonic smile flashing across his expression. "Haven't what? Dressed yourself before? I'm telling you to get changed. I won't have you wandering around in that dirty thing." He made a small gesture towards Kennedy's makeshift shirt. A moment passed as he paused to think, and he sighed deeply, sitting forwards and leaning on his elbows. "Dearest rabbit, I know damn well what you have and have not done." he began, and a gentle yet unkind smile appeared on his lips. " I know you're untouched, it's a plain as day." A quiet chuckle could be heard.

"Now, for the last time; I'd like to to change your clothes, please."

-

Heidi twisted to land on her shoulder as she was pushed forwards, grimacing from the impact. She lifted her torso so partially sit up on her knees, her bound arms causing her back to arch forward. She squeezed her eyes shut at the sound of the door locking, and gritted her teeth as Adrian spoke, taking away her freedom with every single word as he listed his house rules. Her hair fell over her face as she looked towards the floor, hiding the small, angry tears that now welled in her eyes and the look of hatred which twisted onto her expression. It had already become clear that blatantly resisting only resulted in more misery. Her hands squeezed into fists behind her back, and she inhaled a quiet, deep breath. "...Yes." she breathed out.

Kennedy's face crumbled at Gabriel's mocking, sinking down against the wall. She pulled her knees to her chest, resting her head on her knees in a weak attempt to console herself. His knowledge of her purity made her stomach sink. If he knew and he didn't care, what did that mean for her? She didn't dare raise her gaze up to his, only moving her eyes so that she could look into the drawer that was laying on the floor. Leaning forward, Kennedy reached for a negligee that seemed to be the most modest thing available. While it wouldn't cover quite as much skin as the shirt she wore, it was more than some of the lingerie in the drawer. Once the piece of clothing was in her hands, Kennedy froze in her spot. She blinked, slowly looking up to him with wide eyes.

"W-Where.. is the bathroom?"

---

Adrian was quiet for a moment, his eyes raking down Heidi's body. "I see it seems you already know how to present yourself. Maybe you're just a common whore? I sure hope the auction house didn't lie to me about you being a lord's daughter..." he trailed off, letting out a soft 'tsk, tsk' as he shook his head. "Maybe I'll leave your hands behind your back if it gets you to behave, doll." Adrian turned away from her, shrugging his outer jacket off where he folded it and neatly laid it down on the arm of a chair in the corner of the room.

Turning back around to her, Adrian gripped her bicep and unceremoniously yanked her to her feet. He reached around and undid the rope that bound her arms together, "the drawer at the bottom of the dresser has clothes for you to wear. I don't want to hear a single objectification, doll," he paused, stepping over to the bed in the middle of the room where he took a seat on the edge. "Change and then I expect you to help me into something a bit more comfortable."

Gabriel gazed unsympathetically at Kennedy as she shrieked down the wall, sharp eyes following her movements. Watching her reluctant movements was pitiful, yet Gabriel felt no guilt. His brows raised as she looked up to him with doe eyes, provoking a sadistically amused smile to appear on his face. "Bathroom?" he scoffed, chuckling lightly. "Bathrooms aren't for changing your clothes in, little rabbit. Even now, you're still trying to preserve your dignity?" his voice was lined with mocking laughter.

"I'll grow bored, if you keep stalling."

-

Heidi bit her tongue to prevent herself lashing out at his insults, her hands curling into fists. From her position, she was only able to see where Adrian stood, and she recoiled slightly as she was approached. Grimacing as she was yanked upwards, she almost felt relieved as her arms were freed, reaching forwards to rub the marks where the bindings had been tied.

She turned towards the drawer mentioned, and knelt down to it, her shoulders still sore from her previous restrictions. A lump formed in her throat when she looked at its contents, and a frown formed deeply on her expression. "... Do you know who I am?" her words were provoked and thoughtless, and she turned her head to make harsh eye contact with Adrian.

Realization dawned on Gabriel's face and the color drained from her face. Kennedy dropped her head down, staring at the outfit in her hands. She honestly could feel like she was going to be sick and she had to swallow back a sob that rose up in her throat. Reaching a hand up, Kennedy brushed away the tears from her eyes before they could fall. She pulled her arms into her shirt and did her best to pull on the negligee while shedding the white shirt. Kennedy whimpered as the shirt dropped behind her and she quickly picked it up to hold it over her torso to try and hide her body. "You're disgusting," she hissed between gritted teeth, refusing to look in his direction.

---

Adrian set his hands down on the bed behind him and he leaned back, watching Heidi with a twisted sort of pleasure as she looked over the drawer. If she was smart, she would notice the few pieces toward the back that were more modest than the rest but they were in the back because he certainly didn't care to see any of his girls wearing them. His eyebrows raised in mild amusement when Heidi spoke. "Oh, doll. Of course I know who you are," he paused, motioning for her to continue picking something out to change into. "Do you know who I am, little doll?"

Gabriel breathed a gentle sigh and his stare softened as Kennedy finally seemed to tear up; it had taken far longer to break down that barrier compared to the other girls. Once again, his eyes followed her movement's carefully, and he leaned his elbow on the armrest. He smiled slightly at her efforts to cover herself even whilst changing, and twisted laughter was let out when he heard her comment, prolonging his amusement in a humiliating display. "No no dear, you're disgusting." He teased. After a few moments he reached out, clicking his fingers and pointing to the floor in front of him. "Come here." He ordered; his gaze never moving away from her.

-

Heidi's hands gripped the edge of the drawer tightly, and her knuckles turned white. The hatred in her eyes sharpened at the amusement Adrian showed, and she answered his question instantly. "A monster. A snake with a superiority complex." Her tongue was bravely sharp. She turned away, pushing her hands into the drawer in an effort to find something that would at least shield her decency. She knew that he intended on watching, and the thought made her sick to her stomach. In a feeble effort at keeping her dignity, she simply turned away from him, facing towards the opposite wall. Lifting the shirt quickly over her head, she promptly replaced it with the black chemise she had found in the drawer. Her arms folded instinctively over her chest, and she didn't turn back around. No man had ever seen her in this manner, and she coiled slightly in embarrassment.

Kennedy shook his head, pressing herself closer to the wall that she was leaned against. She pulled her knees tight to her chest where she wrapped her arms around them, trying to keep herself as calm as possible, clinging to the shirt that she had wrapped around her bottom half. "I'm not a dog, asshole," she spat toward him without looking in her direction. Kennedy's body tensed as she braced herself for Gabriel's reaction. She knew that she was pressing buttons that she probably shouldn't but the thought of obeying him like some stupid animal made her sick to her stomach and she would absolutely not.

---

Adrian's eyes were trained on Heidi's body as she changed her outfit, his bottom lip jutting out in a pout when she changed a bit too quickly for his liking. He would have to correct that soon because he was not a patient man. If anything, he was trying to be so that maybe she would understand that it was simply for her benefit to listen to him. Clearing his throat when Heidi refused to step closer to him, he flashed a wicked grin. "Doll, I don't like repeating myself. Help me change or we're going to need to have a punishment on your first day here. Is that what you really want?"

Gabriel's eyes flashed with surprise, his brows raising at Kennedy's displeasing reaction. He stared at her cowering form for a few seconds, before breathing an irritated sight from his nose, and standing. A few strides across the room was all it took and he reached down, gripping Kennedy by the hem of her negligee's collar and wrenching her to her feet. Without a word, he dragged her a short distance and threw her discourteously onto the large bed, standing over her threateningly. Reaching to loosen the collar of his shirt, a deep, irate frown had etched itself onto his face. "I was trying my best to keep it pleasant, little rabbit," he spoke darkly. "But it seems as though you're a masochist."

-

Heidi stared long and hard at Adrian; a look of frustration clearly imprinted on her expression. Could it get any worse? A lump formed in her throat when she was asked to help him change. She longed to resist, but feared the consequences, having already witnessed the fact that he was unafraid to hurt her. Heidi turned, her arms folded over her chest. The skin on her bare arms and legs tingled, as the air was moderately cold. Taking a few small, hesitant steps in Adrian's direction, she reached slowly out towards the buttons of his shirt, but stopped suddenly. What on Earth was she doing? She cursed herself. She turned her head away from him, closing her eyes for a moment. "Can't you change yourself?" she spoke bluntly.

Kennedy flinched as Gabriel neared her, her eyes widening as she was dragged toward the bed. She tried fruitlessly to pull away from him, digging her nails into his arm to try and stop him. She let out a small shriek as she was thrown onto the bed, her body freezing as she twisted around to face him. Digging her hands into the bed, Kennedy pushed herself away from the impending threat. "Don't fucking touch me!" She shrieked, looking around wildly for some sort of weapon to defend herself. She came up with nothing and only stopped trying to push herself away when her hands brushed against the far side of the bed. She whimpered quietly, shrinking in on herself. "Please. Just let me go. I want to go home."

---

"Oh, doll. I can," Adrian answered, a sadistic smirk settling onto his features as he leaned toward her. "But you forgot to ask the more important question. Do I want to? And the answer to that, darling, is no. So. I'm going to repeat myself one, final time. If I have to again? You're going to regret it," Adrian spoke, setting a hand on her hip. He dug his fingers into the skin, dragging her ever closer to him until her knees hit the edge of the bed. "From this point on, if I have to repeat myself, darling, I won't be so kind. Don't make me do something that was avoidable in the long run, that you will ultimately be the one to regret. Understood?"
