hold your breathe.

Savannah let a shudder run through her body at Jason's answer. She swallowed thickly, trying to ignore the panic that was building inside of her. She knew that if she didn't perform absolutely perfect tonight, that she might now even see tomorrow. That she might never get to speak to her mother again or see her or... anything else. Savannah could only nod stiffly when Jason mentioned when she needed to be ready, biting down on the inside of her lip.

She was thinking about all of these things, not even noticing when Jason pulled open her door. It wasn't until he broke the silence that she jolted, looking up to him sharply. Her eyes widened and she scrambled forward, all but launching herself out of the back seat. Savannah's stomach twisted as Jason's arm snaked around her waist. She opened her mouth, wanting to reason with him, but she realized that Jason wasn't going to waver. That she was going to have to do as she was told if she wanted to somehow make her way out of this.

"I-I'm.. sorry," Savannah started, wincing when her voice shook. No. That wasn't a good start. She shook her head, clearing her throat before she glanced up to him. She forced a smile to her face and turned, to set her hand on his chest. She remembered the last time she had touched him unprovoked and how he'd slapped her but she hoped if she was showing an effort to behave the way he wanted her to, that he would be kinder. "I'm just not used to such treatment. Being able to have things that I don't normally have... that's all. It's just a lot to take in," Savannah explained. She was praying she was somehow managing to be convincing enough because she needed to gather herself before tonight.

Jason opened the door to the hotel, ushering the small girl inside before following her in. His eyes scanned around the lobby, his hand giving her hip a small squeeze as he tried to hurry her towards the elevator. The last thing Jason wanted was to get caught by a fan asking for a photo. He brought his eyes back to Savannah, waiting for the elevator. I... I'm sorry... The brutish man's hands instantly balled into fists, feeling his blood pressure rise from anger. He was tired of hearing apologies, but before he could react, she pressed her hand against his chest.

Savannah's hand was delicate and small, gently resting against the thin material of his shirt. He wondered if she could feel the way his heart was beating, quickened by anger but then slowly calming down when she spoke again. That was better... Jason knew the words she was speaking were still bullshit. She wasn't showing him any appreciation because she was terrified of him, but that's what he wanted.

A smirk appeared on his face and he relaxed his hands, bringing one to rest gently on the small of her back when the elevator doors opened. He pushed
her ahead of him, stepping inside just as the doors closed behind him. They were all alone in the little space. Jason hit a button, only for a brief second taking his attention off of Savannah. She huddled herself up in a corner, looking almost petrified with fear, her hands fidgeting with the sleeves of the hoodie she wore. She looked pathetic and that had Jason's cock pressing firmly against his jeans. His hand grabbed at his crotch, an evil smile on his face as he pressed his body against hers, forcing her into the wall.

"I can give you something to take in," he smirked, his breath hot against her face. Jason's hands started at her hips, running under the hoodie and journeying up her sides. She was trembling underneath his touch. "I think once we're back in my room, you should show me just how enthusiastic you are over all the things I'm giving you." His smile was wide enough to show almost all of his teeth as he pressed his cock into her leg. He was sure she could feel his erection through his jeans.

@ castle.

Savannah felt weak at her knees when Jason's attention turned back to her in the elevator. Her stomach twisted into a knot as he cornered her, his body pinning her against the wall. She didn't try to push him away or to move because she knew what angering him meant. She was still tender from their time in the shower the day before, Savannah didn't want a repeat of that. But she was relieved because it seemed like she had done what Jason wanted her to. He seemed pleased with her and truthfully, if he was, she would do whatever he told her to do simply because she was afraid of what he would do if she didn't.

Letting out a shaky breath, Savannah gave a quick nod of her head. She forced a smile to her lips as she looked up to him, bitting at her bottom lip. "We'll just have to be fast. We don't want to be late to your premiere," she murmured breathily, dancing her fingers down the front of his shirt. Savannah had made sure to keep her tone light, not wanting to make Jason feel as if she was trying to control what was going on. She knew that she didn't.

Taking a deep breath when the doors opened, Savannah only moved when Jason stepped away from her. She twisted, reaching out to slip her finger into Jason's belt loop. This all felt so wrong, it made her feel completely disgusted with herself but she knew how to make men happy. She paused in front of the doorway, waiting until Jason opened the door for her.

Swaying her hips as she neared the bed, Savannah shimmied out of her pants before she turned toward Jason. She shivered as she started to unzip her jacket, her eyes locking with his. "How much time do we have?" She murmured, shrugging the jacket off of her shoulders.

Jason watched as Savannah walked ahead of him into the room after he pushed the door open. Shaking her ass in his direction as she neared the bed, letting her pants fall around her ankles. He could tell she was only trying to please him because she was afraid, terrified of what he might do if given any reason. It was almost laughable because he would hurt her, regardless of whether he had a reason too or not.

"However long I need." Jason shut the door behind him, leaving the lights in the room turned off. The shadows cast about the room did something to add to the ambience of the room, something that he liked.

He crossed the room towards her, hands at his belt buckle as he undid it, pulling it from his belt loops. It made a clattering noise against the floor, loud enough to make Savannah flinch. Jason licked his bottom lip as he smirked, unbuttoning his jeans as he stood before her, "there's no reason to flinch, just yet." Jason pushed the jacket off of her shoulders and then down her arms, forcing it to fall to the floor. His eyes grazed down her body as he watched her tremble under his touch. It turned him on to witness just how much fear he could strike into a woman, just by standing in front of her. Just by her knowing what was to come.

"Turn around and bend over on the bed." His hand had already made its way into his jeans, his thumb stroking down his shaft as he pulled his cock from his jeans. He could already feel the precum collecting at his tip, his thumb smearing it around his head as he watched her. "Now," he barked.

@ castle.

A thought that sent a wave of nausea washing through her caused Savannah to stop in her tracks. Her eyes widened as she faced Jason, hardly even paying attention to him as he pushed her jacket off of her shoulders. She heard his demand but didn't react to it, opening her mouth to voice what she'd just thought about but then Jason was snapping at her again and that was all she needed to spark her into movement. Savannah shuddered as she turned toward the bed, biting down on the inside of her lip.

Savannah drew in a deep breath as she laid against the mattress, wondering what would happen. Surely Jason had to know eventually that she would end up pregnant. It was unavoidable with how many times they had laid together but would he care? Better yet, if he would care, how would he react? Would he be angry or some twisted sense of happiness? If they had something linking them together like a child, there was nowhere that Savannah could ever go.

The press would follow her, know her, and would keep track of her and her child as soon as they figured out the child was Jason's. Even if she could avoid Jason's attention, she was sure that the press would manage to find her. Jason would always find her.

Tears welled in her eyes as she buried her face into the blankets on the bed, realizing just how helpless her situation was. She would never get the chance to be free again. Even if Jason let her go, for one reason or another, Savannah knew she would never be safe. Bracing herself against the mattress, Savannah just hoped that they would stay out at the premiere long enough that she could get a decent enough break from Jason's affections.

Jason watched Savannah, her body trembling, as she slowly turned around and followed his commands. "Good girl." He muttered, running his hand over his cock, eyes trained diligently on her ass as she bent over. He stepped up behind her, moving his free hand to grab her ass, his thumb stroking over her soft skin before he slapped it, watching how she jerked. It was nothing but entertainment to him.

There was no foreplay, no gentle rubbing for her, not even a warning before Jason placed his foot next to hers, using his boot to kick her leg further over to allow him entry. He pushed into her, his cock forcing its way deep inside as his hands found their way to her hips. He didn't care how she felt, whether she was getting pleasure from him or not. It could be excruciatingly painful to Savannah and Jason wouldn't even bat an eye. He was in it for his delight and his only, loving how she tensed and her cunt tightened around his cock as he forced himself in and out, digging his fingertips into her skin. There would no doubt be bruises left behind when he was done.

Leaning over her back, Jason wrapped her soft blonde hair around his fists, knotting it through his fingers as he yanked it back, wanting to hear her squeal. His grip didn't loosen as he quickened his pace, thrusting in and out, listening to hear gasping for relief, on the verge of pleading for it. Her ass bounced with each movement, Jason's eyes lighting up as the sight of it like it was Christmas morning and she was his biggest gift.

"F-Fuck," Jason groaned out, letting his eyes roll back in his head. He could feel his climax building in his core, and most likely to Savannah's relief, he let loose of her hair. His hands found their way back to her hips, gripping her tightly and holding her still as he fucked her relentlessly, until he was right on the edge. Slamming into her one more time, Jason roared out a moan as he came deep inside of her, holding her ass flush against him to make sure she took every drop of him. Only then did he slowly step away, looking down at her to witness the carnage he had inflicted.

"Come put your mouth to good use, babe." He smirked, licking his bottom lip as his eyes ran over her. "Come clean me up."

@ castle.

(i think i remember the pic you used for savannah but if her hair isnt blonde i apologize!!)

{you're right!! if i remember correctly, she also has hazelish eyes?)

Savannah felt a wave of relief wash over her when Jason praised her. It made her feel sick to her stomach, that she was so happy to have done something right but if he was pleased with her, he wouldn't hurt her. Right? She was naively a bit hopeful. Jerking forward when Jason slapped her ass, her fingers wrapped into the material of the blanket beneath her. She shivered as Jason kicked her feet apart, causing a chill to run down her spine. She gulped, bracing herself for what was coming. She had been with Jason for no more than a few days but Savannah had already grown accustomed to what Jason would want from her.

She had managed to stay pretty quiet until Jason yanked her head backward. She cried out, her eyes flying open as she splayed her arms out further to try and brace herself. She arched even further, trying to lessen the pain in her scalp as Jason continued to fuck her. Savannah would yelp and whimper, trying to focus on the fact that eventually, this would end. Jason couldn't go on forever. And she already knew what would happen if she begged him to stop, or even just to go a little easier on her. He'd be angry and she already knew she would have bruises from his fingers, she didn't want or need more.

Please. Savannah groaned as Jason finished inside of her, all too relieved that he had finished. Even if her earlier fears only strengthened, Savannah knew there was no real escaping this. Shivering as Jason pulled away from her, Savannah was sure he was about to tell her to go put her dress on. Except he was demanding more.

Her stomach lurched as she sank to her knees to face him. Savannah knew that she had to do as she was told to, whether she wanted to or not. It didn't matter. She leaned forward, wrapping her lips around his cock. Savannah knew that they didn't have all that much time left before they really did need to start getting ready so she focused on her work, her eyes squeezing shut. Savannah didn't want to see the pleasure on his face.

It was only when Jason pushed her away from Savannah slumped against the bed, breathing heavily. "Jason?" Her voice was quiet, tentative and afraid of what would happen if she upset her. "I-I.. I should probably get one of those plan B pills..." her voice was barely above a whisper, silently praying that Jason would agree with her.

Jason licked his bottom lip, antsy with anticipating watching her drop to her knees. While a part of him missed the fight she used to put up when he had first brought her to this hotel room, it was delivering a different kind of pleasure to watch her be so subservient. He hadn't even had to ask twice, she had pulled herself from the bed after such a rough fuck and had instantly came to obey his command. Her lips felt so soft and plush wrapping around him, her tongue swirling over his shaft almost had him hardening again.

He knew they didn't have time for round two, that would have to wait. Jason stepped away, pushing Savannah away by her head. Turning away from her, he tried to steady his own heavy breathing, running his fingers through his long hair, snagging a few tangles towards the ends. His brow furrowed when she began to speak, but he stopped in his tracks when she mentioned what she wanted.

Jason couldn't deny that the thought of impregnating one of his victims was a turn on, but would he be ready to deal with the consequences of something like that? He scoffed, almost laughing, asking himself: what consequences? He knew at the end of the day, if something like that were to happen, it would only be her problem. He would send her home and pay her to keep quiet, more than enough to take care of herself and his bastard of a child.

Moving over to the dresser, he grabbed his hairbrush and began running it through his hair to detangle his mane. "We'll see about it. We have more important matters,... like making sure we're not late to this event. Get up," he looked down at his watch, "someone should be here to help you get dressed any minute." Striding across the room, he finally flicked the lights on in the hotel room, not surprised when as soon as he spoke, a knock came at the door. "See?" He grabbed a robe laying over one of the sofas and threw it towards her. "Get up," He repeated himself, "Hurry, go clean yourself up in the bathroom. You don't want anyone to see you like that, do you?"

Jason was quick to zip his jeans back up, pulling his freshly brushed hair back into a ponytail as he went to answer the door, giving her only a few more moments to drag herself up from the floor and disappear into the bathroom. Opening the door, Kim, one of his stylists was waiting with her bag and the dress Savannah had picked out. "Hey, Kimmy," Jason smirked, leaning against the door frame, "Just a few minutes, she's just now getting out of the shower." He stepped out of the way to let her into the room, pointing in the direction of where Savannah had vanished.

@ castle.

Savannah was at least a bit relieved when Jason didn't immediately start telling her how ridiculous the suggestion was. If she was able to reason with him, at least enough to get her the pill, she thought there was more of a chance of getting away from him. She didn't want anything tying her to Jason and making it impossible for them to separate when Jason decided that he was finally done with her. She chewed on her bottom lip as she looked up from her spot on the floor, squinting her eyes and blinking repeatedly in an effort to adjust to the sudden light in the room.

Flinching when someone knocked on the door, Savannah scrambled to ehr feet when Jason snapped at her. She struggled to pull on the robe as fast as she could, rushing into the bathroom and all but throwing the door shut. Jason was right, she didn't want anyone seeing her like this. Savannah sniffled as she grabbed a washcloth from the shelf in the bathroom, wetting it before she began to wash her face. She hoped the cool water would help to calm the redness in her eyes.

It wasn't until after Savannah had brushed her hair and tightened the robe around her body that she took a deep breath, turning to leave the room. This was still a pretty private encounter but Savannah wasn't willing to risk Kimmy finding out about what went on between her Jason. Especially if she wasn't aware yet. She could only imagine how angry Jason would be if Kimmy figured it out.

"Savannah," she introduced herself quietly as she held out her hand, shaking Kimmy's hand before she nodded toward the dress the stylist wore. "Should I put that on first and then we can do my hair and makeup?" She asked, unsure of what was the correct order of things. When Kimmy nodded, holding out the dress, Savannah was all too eager to grab the dress and disappear back into the bathroom after a quick 'thank you'. Even just a few moments of getting dressed on her own, Savannah had to enjoy because she didn't know when the next time she even got a few minutes of peace would be.

Kim followed Savannah to the bathroom, letting her be for a few moments before she gently knocked on the door. "Do you need any help zipping it up or fixing anything?" All the stylist knew was that Savannah was Jason's date for the evening, nothing more. To her, it seemed like a fairy tale moment, almost wishing she could trade her places, but only if she knew... She might've helped Savannah escape. "If not, just let me know when I came come in and start dolling you up! You're going to look so gorgeous!"

The stylist glanced over at Jason, who had relaxed back in a recliner, a shit-eating grin on his face. Still, to him, Savannah should be grateful. Regardless of how he treated her, how rough he was with her, she was still getting to experience so many things that other women could only ever dream of.

After a few more minutes, Kim was in the bathroom with Savannah, curling and pinning her up in a fabulous style. By the time she was finished, the blonde beauty looked like a movie star herself. "Gorgeous," she exclaimed as she fixed a few things on the dress, unable to see any of the bruises that it hid. "You are going to have so much fun tonight." Kim was a little perturbed by the fact that Savannah didn't seem enthusiastic. Instead, she was quiet and timid and the look on her face almost had Kim worried, but she chalked it up to nerves. Surely, she was just nervous. "It'll be okay, don't be anxious, you're in good hands!" If only she knew was she saying.

By the time the girls exited the bathroom, Jason had changed into his attire, a pristine dark suit with dark gray pinstripes and accents of purples. His hair was loosely hanging over his shoulders, brushed out but still wavy and luscious. He clapped his hands together when Savannah came out of the bathroom, looking like a star in the dress she had picked out, even he couldn't deny that. She looked absolutely stunning. Jason whistled, his entire attitude changing while Kim was around. He had to keep up his image.

"Look at you!" He beamed, rushing to her side, wrapping his arms around her, but being gently to not hurt a sore spot or bruise. He didn't want her flinching in front of anyone. "Absolutely fucking gorgeous, divine." He ran a hand through her hair and turned to look at Kim, thanking her one last time for a job well done. "We should be on our way though, if we don't want to be late."

@ castle.

Savannah was doing her best to look and remain calm while Kim worked around her hair. Her stomach twisted and she was far beyond uncomfortable because she knew that if she messed this up... if Kim figured it out and started asking questions, she knew that it wasn't going to be a good thing. Jason would lash out and she wasn't sure what he would do in retaliation when it came to Kim. She had suffered, she knew what Jason was capable of but that didn't mean Kim did.

Forcing a smile to her face, Savannah nodded at Kim's insistent comfort. "Thank you. I'm just nervous is all," she attempted to explain. "I've never been to something this big and I haven't even told my family!" Savannah exclaimed as if it was the truth. She supposed that it was true. She hadn't told her mother that Jason was the 'special someone' that she had happened upon. If only she had, if only she was able to find someone to help her.

She was far beyond uneasy when Savannah stepped out of the bathroom and Jason's attention was pulled toward her. Savannah wanted to turn and shield herself. But she managed to force an even brighter smile to her face as Jason approached her. It was clear to her now that Kim had no clue what was going on between them. Jason was being the over the top charmer that he had been when he first snagged her into his web.

"Well, I have to stand beside you," Savannah teased gently. She leaned up and was quick to press a kiss to the corner of Jason's mouth despite her apprehension. She leaned against his arm, quick to turn toward the door when Jason urged them out it. It was so odd how kind he was being because not even an hour ago, Savannah had to hold back pleas for mercy because she'd been afraid he'd hurt her worse if she begged him to step.

Starting toward the elevator, Savannah forced her face to remain calm n case any fans or other members of the public spotted them together. It wouldn't do for the tabloids to start asking questions like they always seemed to.

Jason guided Savannah onto the elevator, his arm wrapped tightly around her waist. They had left Kim alone in their room while she cleaned up and packed up her things. They were on a tight schedule after all. How bad would it look if Jason was late to walk the carpet at one of his own movie premiers? Once the doors of the elevator closed around them, Jason dropped his shit eating grin and his arm from her waist.

Fixing his cuffs, he glanced over to her out of the corner of his eye. "You do look good," he insisted, but was quick to follow it up with a threat. "So make sure you keep a smile on that face. I'd hate to have to punish you afterwards for embarrassing me. And don't forget about your mom."

Once again, the devilish smile was back on his face as he laughed, clearing his throat once the elevator dinged, the doors opening as they arrived on the bottom floor. Jason didn't need to go into any details, Savannah's imagination could run wild with the possibilities of what might happen if she didn't please him tonight. "After you, my lady." He motioned her out of the elevator, smirking as he followed her through the lobby, watching her ass she walked.

He held open the hotels door for her, being the kind and gracious gentleman the world thought him to be.

---

Not thirty minutes later, the couple stepped out of their ride to the sounds of screaming fans and flashing cameras. Jason, used to the attention, wrapped his arms around Savannah and guided her down the red carpet. He didn't expect her to be perfect, he knew how intimidating something like this could be, but he did expect her to look happy and thrilled she was with him.

Stopping in front of some cameras, Jason smiled in their direction before pressing a kiss to Savannah's head, letting the paparazzi eat it up.

@ castle.

Savannah's head was lowered as the elevator doors closed, her stomach twisting into an uncomfortable knot. She knew that tonight was far more important than she would have ever thought. If she somehow messed this up, she doubted that Jason would let her ever forget about it. The thought made her heart race and she wished that she could simply disappear. Forget that she had ever met Jason or that she'd been charmed by him.

She looked up when Jason insisted that she looked good and she forced a small smile, giving a quiet 'thank you' before Jason launched into his warning. It was enough to make her even more nervous but somehow, Savannah managed a smile when the elevator doors opened. It came as no surprise when a few people noticed them and started whispering, pointing as Jason urged her out of the lobby. She was quiet for the entirety of the ride to the premiere, trying to remain as calm as she could be.

With Jason's arm wrapped around her waist, Savannah was surprised that she felt so relieved. She had no clue how she was supposed to act or what she was supposed to do at something like this. She kept the smile on her face, leaning into Jason's side whenever he paused to take a few pictures.

When Jason kissed her temple, Savannah hesitated for a moment before she turned and leaned up to press a kiss to his cheek. Her hand rested on his chest as she did, carefully lowering herself back to her feet once she'd paused long enough for the paparazzi to get some pictures. She couldn't help but let her thoughts drift, wondering how her friends and family would react once they realized that Jason was the one she was with.

Savannah was quiet most of the time, praying that she was doing the best that she could to make Jason happy with her.

There was always a little part of Jason that got nervous whenever he was taking one of his girls out in public. There was always the slim possibility that one would try to cause a scene or try to tell someone what he was doing to them, but so far, none of them had had the guts. That would ultimately undo him, if a woman at his side started shouting that he was an abuser, that they needed help to get away from him, but he had somehow managed to ensure them that there was no way of making it out alive unless they obeyed him.

Jason held Savannah tightly around the waist as he guided her the rest of the way down the carpet, once he was tired of playing it up in front of the cameras. Leading her into the theatre, he pulled her off to the side, away from the other celebrities who were beginning to queue in for the movie. "See, that's not so hard is it?" He whispered, placing his hand under his chin, forcing her to look up at him, "smiling for me isn't so bad." He couldn't help the wicked smirk that appeared on his face. Jason didn't know why he derived such pleasure from manipulating and abusing, but he did.

"Maybe if you keep this up, I'll actually reward you once we're out of here. Maybe I won't be so rough on you tonight." He leaned in to kiss her cheek, trying to make it appear as if he was just having a casual, nice conversation with his date, in case some other celebrities came up to him. He looked around the lobby of the cinema, watching as all of the other guests in their nice tailored outfits walked by them.

@ castle.

Savannah felt her stomach lurch when Jason pulled her off to the side of the lobby, afraid that she had done something wrong and Jason was going to tell her that she needed to get her act together. She gulped, looking up to him with wide, terrified eyes. It was only when she realized what Jason was trying to say that she managed to calm down. Jason's little smirk only managed to renew her nerves but it was his following words that nearly made her sag against him.

If Savannah was doing what Jason wanted, then Jason would be nicer to her? Hope replaced the fear in her eyes and she gave a quick nod of her head without saying much of anything because she didn't trust her voice much at the moment.

When she finally found the courage to speak up, Savannah kept her voice lowered because she didn't want anyone overhearing them. "Is there anything else, after watching the movie? Do we have a party or a dinner we have to go to?" She asked, looking up to him slowly. She bit down on the inside of her lip, keeping a pleasant smile on her face despite herself. "Or.. do we head back to the hotel right after? I've just ever been to something like this," she added in a hurried fashion when a small group of people passed close enough to them that she thought they may have overheard.

"We will get dinner." Jason told her, snaking his arm around her waist as he pulled her close, into his side. "Whether we're alone or with others, well that depends." Jason eyed around the lobby, pulling Savannah away from the wall they had been lingering at. It would be expected for him to get invited somewhere after the premiere, but Jason had no actual obligations.

"Oh, oh, there he is!" An energetic, feminine voice could be heard from behind them, but before Jason could turn around to see who had been calling to him, Ben placed a strong hand on Jason's shoulder. Turning around, Jason hugged his friend and co star, before glancing up at Gal, who had been the one to call for his attention.

"And who is this lovely lady?" Ben smirked, before reaching out to shake Savannah's hand. Jason glanced towards her, shooting her as warning glare before he moved to introduce her. This would be the real test, to see if Savannah could actually interact with his friends and acquaintances without coming off as a victim or giving anything away.

Jason hugged Gal, before moving back to Savannah's side, smiling widely. "This is my date for the night, Savannah. Savannah, I'm sure you're aware, but this is Ben and Gal." He gestured to his friends, his dark eyes piercing down towards her, almost as if daring her to step out of line. "Savannah was actually just asking about our plans for after the movie. Are you two going to be grabbing a bite or something?"

It was easy for Jason to flip a switch and come off as goofy, smiling brightly with such enthusiasm. He wondered if it confused Savannah, how he could act like two completely opposite people. Even if it was easy, however, he sometimes wished he didn't have to put up the facade. It could be completely draining and he knew by the time they would make it back to the hotel room, he would be exhausted. Not too exhausted though, he'd still be able to either reward Savannah for a job well done, or punish her for doing even the tiniest thing wrong.

@ castle.

{Am I safe in assuming this is Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot? }

Savannah was quick to nod her head at Jason's answer, unsure whether it seemed like a fine idea to her. She found herself wondering if she would be allowed to eat or if she should wait to see what Jason would want her to do. Would he let her have a drink or two? The thought almost felt like welcome relief before she realized that if she started drinking, that it would open up the chance of her telling someone what was going on and that was the last thing she needed.

She took a small step away from Jason, just enough to allow Ben to step closer for a hug. She felt a blush creeping over her features, with Gal and Ben's eyes on her. Looking up when she heard someone speaking to her, Savannah gave a bright smile. She couldn't deny that Ben was attractive and she was almost positive that if she was here with Ben and not Jason, that he wouldn't be as awful to her. There wouldn't be wounds on her body because of Ben.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Savannah was quick to speak, her back straightening up. She was hoping that she was doing good, not wanting to upset Jason at the end of the day. Even if he wasn't any kinder to her... if he just didn't hurt her worse, Savannah would be okay with it. Her hand lingered in Be's for a moment before it dropped back to her side.

"I have no idea how you guys do this all the time! I don't think I've ever been this nervous," Savannah said, Gal walking by her side. She gave a tiny smile, hoping that it wasn't bothering Jason that she was being so talkative. It would help her fit in and that's what Jason wanted, right?

(YES lol i figured it could be the aquaman premier and they are there to support!)

Jason's eyes flickered down to the way Ben's hand held Savannah's, the way that it lingered there, the way his fingers seemed to brush over her skin as he finally dropped her hand. He wasn't sure how he felt about it, but either way, his jaw was clenching uncomfortably. Gal greeted Savannah afterwards, laughing when Savannah mentioned how overwhelmed she was in such a situation. "You get used to it!" Gal was chipper, moving to Jason's side and linking her arm with his. "She's a cutie!" Jason forced himself to relax, not wanting Gal to feel how stiff his body was under her touch.

He gently pat her hand, giving the Israeli actress a gleaming smile as he nodded, "she is. Don't know how I got so lucky." His dark brown eyes loomed towards Savannah, wondering why he was feeling so jealous. He had never cared before when his other dates had caught the eyes of his friends, but something about Ben touching Savannah had made his skin crawl.

"Come on, let's go find some seats." Gal smiled, pulling Jason along with her, Ben and Savannah following.

Jason didn't want to leave Savannah alone, even if she was only a couple of steps behind him. Ben made sure to stay by her side, his hand resting on her lower back. He was just trying to be a gentleman, helping guide her after their group. After all, he did hear her when she spoke about being nervous and he didn't want her to get lost. "C'mon, doll." Ben smiled, glancing towards Savannah as he ushered her along.

@ castle.

{totally down ! just wanted to make sure i was on the same path }

Savannah could feel Jason's heated gaze on her and it made her skin crawl. She was torn because she wasn't sure whether she was making Jason happy or if she had somehow down something wrong. She was desperate to ask him if she could do anything better but she knew better than to speak, with others around. It would hint at what was really going on and that thought made her weak at the knees. If someone figured it out, she would be in trouble but more importantly, so would her mother.

She felt like she was going to be sick when Ben's hand settled on her lower back. Savannah could already hear it, could already tell that if Jason saw the little act, that he would be angry. Forcing herself to relax, Savannah did her best to smile. She blinked several times, hoping that no one caught the tears that had threatened to fill her eyes before she blinked them away. But Savannah knew that she had to be kind, that she couldn't be mean unless she wanted to upset Ben because it would only end up upsetting Jason. Right?

"Do you ever get overwhelmed? Even now?" Savannah asked, deciding that it was best to hold some sort of conversation. She didn't want to seem rude or cold or anything. She looked up to Ben and offered a shy smile as they moved toward their seats toward the front but far enough that they could enjoy the show without straining.

Savannah was quick to move to Jason's side once they had reached their seats, sitting quickly and leaning toward his seat to appear as if she wanted to be close to him.

"Oh yeah," Ben nodded, quick to answer. "I don't think anyone ever actually fully gets used to a lifestyle like this." He found himself staring at Savannah, hearing Gal complimenting how beautiful she was again in his mind, finding himself mentally agreeing. Jason's date was very beautiful, but what was to be expected? Of course Jason would have a banger on his arm.

Ben only let her go once she went to take her seat next to Jason, sitting down himself next to Gal.

Jason settled in his seat, every muscle in his body tightening as he watched Savannah walk in front of him, going to take the seat to his side. There was a small voice in his head asking himself why he was so mad, wondering what he had expected Savannah to do. Not shake his friend's hand? Push Ben away when he went to walk with her after Gal had led Jason away? It didn't matter how he tried to sort the situation out, fury was still winning over all logic and Savannah was sure to feel his wrath later that night.

After the movie, Jason followed his friends out of the cinema, deciding to take a back exit to sneak out without being caught by fans or paparazzi. Gal and Ben were already telling Jason how phenomenal the movie was, how well he had done in it and even though Jason nodded and smiled, seemingly eating up their compliments, he was still seething. Now, he made sure to keep his arm tightly around Savannah, holding her tightly against him so Ben couldn't try to walk with her.

"Savannah," Jason cleared his throat, looking away from his friends towards her, "you mentioned being hungry before the movie? I think we should head out, she's probably starvi-"

Ben was quick to cut Jason off, suggesting they all go out to dinner together. Gal's face lit up, nodding quickly in agreement, "that sounds fun! I'd love to be able to get to know you better, too. I've never seen Jason so handsy before, I bet you're a keeper." Gal teased Savannah, not knowing what was really going on.
