Ellen huffed in annoyance. Crossing her arms against the chest, she leaned back in the seat. She was utterly disgusted. She could make grim stop the car in the middle of the road, slam the door shut on his face and she was free. Yes and then she would have to pay the fare to the taxi, wasting more money, and who knew how long it would take her to find herself a taxi at this hour? She might walk back to her house if she had some healthy food scarfed down in her stomach which wasn't the case either so she withheld her anger and sat quietly. Next time. She could wait until she met grim again and empty her brain at him. She just needed some food and her mattress.
As she slowly drifted to sleep while thinking about what to make herself eat once she reached home, someone else was eyeing her as if she was the most delicious food to savour the taste of.
When grim pulled over to the side of her house, her eyes opened. She unfastened the seatbelt after yawning slackly and got out. Taking the key out that she always kept in the inside pocket of her jacket just in case, she unlocked the door and entered the house and shut the door closed behind her. When she was about to walk to the living room, she heard a soft knock on the door.
"What do you want now!", she knew it was grim. Who would knock at her door this late? If Chloe had some emergency, she could've called her by now. Besides her best friend, only one person was visiting her lately.
"Open the door or I'll break-in", she heard grim's steady voice, dominance reflecting through each said word. The tone of his voice was enough commanding that one wouldn't doubt his strengths that he could do what he said. But he wasn't really going to break Ellen's door. Was he?
"I am not gonna open this damn door! I've had enough for today! Get lost! Let me have some rest for damn sake!", every time grim did anything to her disliking she thought her temper had hit the limits. But next time she would get to know her temper hadn't hit the peak of Mount Everest last time but this time and it would continue the same for all the next times.
"You left your bag in my car", for a second Ellen thought he was lying but when she looked around and didn't find her bag, she recalled her memory from a moment ago when she used the spare key from her jacket instead of using the one in her bag. Once confirming, she wasted no time opening the door.
When the door opened, grim pushed her inside. Throwing the bag on the floor, he shut the door with his foot and trapped the girl in between his arms.
"Sometimes you are too stubborn to deal with, little fawn. And I feel the need to punish you."
Punish? What grim meant by it? The last time when Ellen watched a movie with Chloe, she saw a scene in which the boy talked about some punishment. Naive Ellen didn't know what punishment he actually meant so she started pleading with her best friend that she wouldn't watch violence. Chloe could only chuckle at her innocent angel. She ensured Ellen that it wasn't the punishment she was thinking about. When the boy crashed his lips against the female lead, Ellen gasped in shock. Her eyes forgot how to blink as she watched the scene unfolding like the unravelling of twisted strings.
When the boy slid his tongue inside the girl's mouth, Ellen quickly turned her face towards her friend with wide-opened eyes. Chloe was immersed in the movie, almost forgetting that her innocent friend wasn't used to watching that type of stuff.
'Didn't h-e just say that he would punish her?' The only words Ellen's brain shot in the air. Upon seeing the dumbstruck expressions sailed across Ellen's face, Chloe instantly paused the movie and gave her angel a brief explanation of what punishment meant when a boy said it seductively.
"Punish-ment?", she asked blinking her eyes while remembering the movie scene.
"Yes, little fawn. I want to punish you so bad right now", only grim knew how hard he was controlling himself from touching this little fawn at places he shouldn't.
Back in the car when Ellen was sleeping soundly, being unaware of the intentions of the boy who was driving her back home, he fought with every cell in his body to not lay a hand on her body. With every second passing by, he was growing impatient and... needy. He never had for once have to control his sexual desires. He never had to give in before the needy and lustful fits of hunger of his. There would always be a goddess to alleviate his thirst for libido. He never had to fight the urge to seek satisfaction from sex.
The need for distraction intertwined with the soon-not-dying lust drove him to the edge of controlling his own self.
A dignified grim reaper would never use his mighty hands to touch an ordinary mortal for his sex drive. Yes. That was all.
However, it was an excuse he didn't know how his brain come up with to stop him from touching the little fawn sleeping next to his seat. A mere excuse he never had to make to keep himself from anything.
If grim wanted or needed anything, he would simply have it. No ifs or buts.
The truth was that he didn't want to take advantage of someone sleeping, especially when that someone was his little fawn. Well, he had all the rights to do anything but he wasn't that low of a reaper to take advantage of an unconscious body. Also, he didn't want to taint her innocence.
Since when he started thinking about others? He wasn't. He wasn't even admitting himself to the real reasons for not touching the innocent girl.
But pure things can never remain pure forever in this world. Someone would just walk out and have to taint their innocence, tearing apart their virginity, throwing them deep in the polluted water.
And that someone could be him.
