I tell you to leave while pulling you near.

He had been seeing Wren for a few months now, bit by bit the shallow talking had become deeper and deeper. As much as he didn't want to at first more and more he was realizing just how much he did enjoy her company. The way she smiled, her hair falling nto her face. She was a stunning person. This particular night he'd picked her up like he often did when they were going to spend time together. He asked her to dress nicely for this particular date, he had rented out the entire restaurant of one of the nicest places in the city.

It was more so they could talk and enjoy a conversation with out the the noise of others around them. Just the staff that was usually there. When she had asked where the bathroom was he pointed it out and politely stood as she left the table to head that way. He had just barely ordered drinks when all hell broke loose.

The fight left the table a wreck and much of the area where they were seated. Kim stood alone the bloodied forms of five men laying strewn across every which way. He leaned down to pick up a napkin to wipe blood from the corner of his own mouth and was wiping blood off his knuckles. This... this would be the end of things. He was as scared as he had ever been, this had to end. he had to let her go.

This whole landlord/tenant thing was absolutely not a landlord/tenant thing. If anyone knew, they would have said she was the 'kept woman' in an affair with the way she was given an apartment, told her what to wear (nice or casual) before being the driver in their little excursions. Of course Wren would counter she didn't have a license yet in Thailand so it was only appropriate that he drive her.

She chose burgundy for her color scheme tonight with a golden pearl jewelry set she managed to find in a rummage sale. Just a pendant and post earrings and many others said they were fake but when asking for an evaluation at a jewelry store (Kim had been with her at the time) it turned out that they were legitimate. And the clerk wanted to buy the set off her on the spot.

She had gone to freshen up, not only herself but her blush and gloss. Watching Kim open up very slowly was rewarding in of itself, but to note that it happened around her had Wren falling a little bit deeper into his gaze each time. Humming a happy tune to herself, she put the cap on the gloss and gave one final inspection in the mirror, ready to enjoy another engaging evening with her new beau.

Wren wasn't expecting to come back to the dining area with men laid flat out on the floor, several tables in disarray, and Kim looking like the anti-hero in a movie, wiping his hand carefully. "Kim!" All her thoughts were for him, that he had gotten hurt, that someone put a hit on him because he was ... what, too famous? That his family owned so much hotel property? She didn't know but she was already rushing towards him, her clutch held tight in her hand.

[meanmugging]

" Stop! Don't come near me." he said holding a hand up in a halt fashion, he knew in his heart that if she touched him at all right now there would be no way in hell he would be able to do what needed to be done.

His heart was pounding in his rib cage, God it felt like it was just going to explode right out of his chest. He tapped his bloodied finger tips on the table top and looked to her. " I brought you out here to tell you this will be the last time we see each other. You should go home pack your shit and go home, back to America." he picked up the undisturbed glass with whiskey in it from the table. " There is nothing for you here in Thailand, you and I were fun for a while but now it's just cramping my style. The desk will call you a cab to get you where you need to go."

He turned away from her setting the glass down, it felt like he had taken a melon baller and just gutted a part of himself out. " It's over, stay the fuck away from me from now on." he could feel his throat tightening, threatening to cut off his air supply. He had to make it to the car. With his last cold statement he started the walk towards the doors.

[whrrenah]

At the first command, she did stop, almost frozen in mid-step. Was it a trap? She checked him, not seeing any red dots. There didn't appear to be any other people in her peripheral, either.

And then there was the lie! Wren blinked, taken aback. Why would he say something like that? Nothing in their interactions before coming to the place gave any indication that he was going to do this. Nothing. What he said with his words and what he said with his body and tone were conflicting and she stared at his back, her face falling as he pushed out the remaining directive. Oh, hell no. No, no no no.

Once his back was turned, she risked it, rushing over, hopping over one prone form and colliding with his back, holding him tight. The clutch had been dropped when she made the decision and with her own emotions running high, held on for all she was worth. "No. You're an asshole, you know that? But you're my asshole and I'm not leaving." It was spoken into his back, against the leather of his jacket. "You're so stupid to think that you're not enough reason for me to stay here. But you're enough, Kim. I don't know who told you that you weren't but you are." Her fingers continued to curl into his clothing, preparing for him to resist and praying that he wouldn't.

[meanmugging]

He could see the doors, all he had to do is reach his hand out and open them. Air. Where had all the air gone? This was his own fault. He went out and got mixed up with a girl. He almost got her killed tonight. What was he thinking? How could he have been such a damned idiot? Now he had to crush her and..himself? Yes. it was for sure himself as well. His vision was starting to blur. He just had to make it inside the car, that was all. Just the car.

Finger tips barely short of the fancy door knob and then...those slender arms wrapped around him, grappling him for all she was worth. He could swear his heart stopped dead for a few beats. " Are you out of your fucking mind?" as much as he tried to sound hard, it was from a dry throat and it couldn't sound any less broken if he were trying for an Emmy.

He brought his hands down unclasping her fingers from his shirt and turning around taking her by the shoulders and shaking her lightly. " Have you lost your fucking mind?" he was shaking as he looked to her and even though he tried he damnest to keep them back tears rolled down his cheeks. " Do you even know what almost happened here? Do you not get it?" Fear. It was written clear as day across those normally calm and apathetic features. But that was stone cold fear.

[whrrenah]

She looked up at him, unaware of the shaking as her heart hurt to see the pain in his face. And she reached up and cupped his cheek, thumb brushing over damp skin. "My fucking mind is very sound, thank you," Wren's voice wasn't all that steady, either.

"They tried to hurt you. They waited for me to get out of the way and they came after you. Kimhan, if they wanted me, they would have taken me in the bathroom but they wanted you." That worried her. Yes, she had very little combat training and only halfway decent self-defense, but the fact remained that they went after him and all his worry was for her.

It was impulsive, but she kissed him. Full on the mouth, her concern and desperation palpable. "You're out of your fucking mind thinking I would run away and leave you to deal with this--whatever the hell this is--on your own. I care about you, and I'm not going to let a mob of well dressed heathens keep me away. Wild horses can't keep me away and I don't know how else to get that through into your one brain cell."

[meanmugging]

" What the hell do you think they would have done next?" his grip was tight on her shoulders. " I almost got you killed!" he was shouting but it really wasn't at her, but at himself for letting things get this far. Kinn had told him to clean this mess up, and instead...he ended up falling for this girl.

Though it was impulsive of her and he knew that he shouldn't have kissed her back but he did. After a minute he pulled her away shaking his head. " I don't exist the way you think I do. I don't have choices the way that normal people have. There is no future with me."

It was about that time that the security detail had caught up with them and Kim let her go. " It's fine. Tell Kinn it's fine I am fine." he said turning in a way that they could not see his face. That was the last thing he needed right now.

[whrrenah]

He kissed her back! This wasn't the time to be elated about it but here she was, nearly doing cartwheels in her head. But before Wren could say anything to the last part there was the calvary. The Late Calvary.

"Where the hell have you been?" Wren snarled at the four men with guns out and trained at her. She stepped purposefully in between them and Kim, acting as a shield. One of them she vaguely recognized but right now, she didn't care. She didn't even care about the weapons aimed she didn't budge an inch. "You let him get hurt and deal with these idiots all alone and you think you should have the brass to come in here like some big hero? My father would have handed all your asses on a platter!"

That gave them pause. Who was this girl? A couple glanced at each other, believing they didn't have the proper intel. The tall one with the earring brazenly stepped forward. "You need to step away from Khun Kim, miss." And once her arm was touched, she exploded. Her heel stomped onto the bulk of his foot, making him double over, giving her the opportunity to knee him in the groin for all he was worth. And then three hammers cocked on the remaining weapons.

She didn't stop there, taking a threatening step at them. "You're pathetic. A little girl just took out one of you--" okay, not really but that wasn't the point. "And you're going to shoot me? Do something useful and clean up this mess you let happen. Get the car and you're taking us to whatever safe place is out there." They all blinked at her. Wren growled, feeling her rage spark something within her, the tingling spreading out to her fingertips. And she still remained between them and Kim, staring them down as if they were confused horses. When her voice dropped, they started to lower their weapons. "Move. Now. Before. I. Move. You." No fear. She had no fear for these men who came too late to help. One started towards her again and she faced him, growling. "Touch me and you'll wish I clocked your balls."

[meanmugging]

Well...that escalated. Wren was going off like a block of fire works at a New Years celebration and the crew was trying their best to get the situation under control and figure out just what the fuck was going on. Perfect. " Wren!" he said putting a hand on her arm. " All of you back off, she's with me. If one more gun is pointed at her I will have no choice but to let Chan know how promptly you were able to catch me this time."

Yep, Kim was damned good at giving the crew the slip, in fact it had became a game for him as he grew up and came into his own. He looked to Big, " Just bring the car around." he tossed his car keys to one of the others " Don't scratch it this time." he said taking Wren by the wrist and leading her out to the lot to wait for the car with the remaining two sticking close behind them. The entire way he carried himself had changed with the crew there. Stiffer. Colder.

[whrrenah]

She knew how to play along. Still pissed at this pathetic security team (because at this point, they had to be security. Famous people needed them), she let that become her mask as the worry for Kim settled in her stomach. Waiting for the car, she could feel the heat of the other two behind them and Wren had to close her eyes momentarily and will herself to calm. She didn't want to check Kim over like this with those two idiots behind them. But she allowed herself this one moment of lifting her wrist to look at his bloodied knuckles. Without looking at Kim, she adjusted his grip to twine his fingers with hers and gave his hand a squeeze, making certain her body kept the action private.

The car ride was silent, her eyes either on the rearview mirror, glaring equally at the driver and the front passenger, or out the side window to watch the lights. The entire time she kept Kim's hand in hers with her other hand over his knuckles to hide them. She felt like in her own way, she was protecting something of him even if it wasn't the way she wanted to from the beginning. And Wren refused to let her imagination run rampant. Her goal tonight was to get him somewhere safe so she could look at his wounds and treat them.

[meanmugging]

Kim didn't move a muscle he did allow her to hold his hand and rest her hand over his knuckles. It was like any other ride he had taken with the crew over the years. Silence.

They would take them to a safe house on the out skirts of town. It was alone on the back street, they knew they were dealing with Kim it was not a good call to take him to the main house and Kinn would want to be able to find him to ask him about what had happened later. As soon as the car was stopped in the drive way he opened the back door getting out just as cooly as he had been since the crew arrived.

Kim was sure that they would inform Kinn that he had someone with him at drop off and he would have his head bitten off no doubt. He looked to her before turning to head into the house.

As soon as they were inside the door way and the door closed Kim all but attacked her with a deep feverish kiss, pressing her up against the wall.

" I need you." Whispered hotly against her ear his hand sliding down pulling the hem of her dress up, his hands moving and the ripping sound of him ripping the crotch of her panties.

[whrrenah]

She had the feeling that the guards weren't going to leave anytime soon. As long as they stayed out of the house, she had no issue with it. Wren followed quietly, knowing full well she was at the mercy of whatever was going on now. And that mercy was anything but as soon as that door was closed.

Swept up, her arms were looped around his neck and as she heard him, there was nothing but a huff of agreement as she bit at his bottom lip and then panted. "I'm yours." As he was ripping her clothes, she moved to undo his belt and loosen his pants, shoving them down just far enough so that metal bits wouldn't get in the way.

Was this how she imagined their first time? Honestly, she had no idea how it would have been. But now it felt perfect as one of her hands scratched at his scalp and the other was trying to be helpful in getting the rest of the essentials out of the way. She couldn't even think about anything else as one of her thighs managed to hook his hip, angling her core just a fraction higher as she whined his name. She hadn't felt this hot and needy before, but now that the threat was more or less neutralized, that rush of relief was rebounding off Kim's need and therefore it was her need as well.

[meanmugging]

As soon as everything was out of the way, he brought his hand up running it along the outside of her thigh that was on his hip and lifting her just a little and thrusting his already quite hard dick inside her.

His other hand both holding her close and protecting her head from getting bounced off the wall. His breath was coming fast as he buried his dick as deeply as he could. Kissing along her neck. " God, you feels o good." and pulling back to fuck her hard, as hard as he could.

[whrrenah]

Honestly? It had been a while for her. Too long, in her opinion and his thick hardness was everything she hoped for. So much so that she had her other leg wrapped around his hip and she held on for dear life, tilting her head back to let his mouth do whatever he desired. She was soaked and he slid in as she tilted her hips, nails digging into the back of his neck.

"Gods, fuck me," she grit out, her hips already shifting to meet his. "Your cock feels so good." She was loosing her ability to speak Thai, groaning out in English as she demanded everything he had from him.

[meanmugging]

He couldn't really remember the last time he had wanted to have sex with someone. Sure, a blow job here and there a hand job.. that was as far as he took it.

She was so fucking wet and hot, it just encouraged him to fuck her harder. Holding on to her and using the wall behind her to make sure they wouldn't fall. She demanded it and he was willing to give it, rolling his hips up and into her. " I want you to cum all over my cock." breathed out between the rough ahn and grunting sounds. Her head leaning back like that he nipped his way down her neck teeth dragging along her skin.

[whrrenah]

"Yes yes yes yes--" she could do that! It wasn't going to take much at this rate. Cum all over on him? Hells yes, and Wren was more than happy to oblige. As it was, he was moving just right and it was so good she was seeing stars at this point.

After a while, she kept still, his dick finding that perfect angle and the last thing she wanted was to lose it. It was all fast and hard and she was loving every minute of it, her nails starting to dig into his skin the closer she came to her end. She could feel it coming with the way her pussy grabbed onto his dick. His name came out in soft pants and tiny whines of frustration. The coil was only getting tighter and tighter at this point and she didn't have any restraint at the moment to even think about holding back.

The first gush wasn't much to speak of, but she didn't care. She rode his cock like her life depended on it and before the first orgasm had a chance to settle, she was begging him to keep going and not stop and needed this as badly as she needed air.

[meanmugging]

he was all too happy to oblige, the way her pussy gripped at his cock just made him pound her harder. Once he learned he was hitting the sweet spot he focused his cock on rubbing that spot as he rammed his cock into her.

Her nails biting into the skin on the back of his neck was as much of a turn on as anything they were doing. As she soaked his cock with her juices he didn't stop he kept drilling into her. " I am getting so close..." he was able to get out still going at it quite hard. She made a goal for him to want to feel her cum all over again.

[whrrenah]

The sound of their skin slapping and the way he filled her time and again kept her need high along with the pitch in her breathing. Mutters of praise kept passing through her lips as she swore she could feel every vein on his cock through her pussy. He felt too good to her and it showed in the way she would tighten up and tremble.

The second was imminent now and she yanked on his hair to pull his eyes up to her. She was surely dick drunk and showed no signs of stopping. "Don't stop--fuck, baby, don't." She wanted it all needed to feel him fill her up. And she panted all of that out as she could feel her muscles drawing up and that fullness get pounded into her more and more. When she burst, his thighs and pants were soaked as she clamped down tight around him, the pulses and contractions spurring her whole body to jolt and shiver, hips meeting his as her wail was probably heard by the security if they were around. She didn't care. What she did care about was that Kim watched her break apart and keep going until she managed to milk all the cum out of his cock in the process.

[meanmugging]

Fuck yes, this is just what he had needed. A good hard fuck. He wasn't done his hand slipping to her shoulder and using it to push her down onto him even harder.

When her muscles tightened and she started to cum he pushed up and as deep as he could go, a ragged moan from his lips as he came hard. Once his dick was spent he slid down the wall, flushed and sweaty and leaned in to kiss her this time it was soft and tender, not the hard almost biting feverish ones from before.

[whrrenah]

Dazzled and more than a little lightheaded, she folded down with him, cock still buried within her, legs folded around his waist. The tenderness of the kiss had her stirring, moving to curl her hand around the back of his neck as if she needed to protect that vulnerable part of him. Her own kiss was soft and sweet, her heart swelling even more when she felt that shift in him.

"Oh'aha," she whispered softly, touching his face and then resting her hand over his heart. "There's my Kim. He came back." The cold persona didn't feel like him at all, but armor to protect himself from the world. Wren didn't fault him for that. And the flirty, haughty WiK wasn't him either. This... maybe this felt the closest she had to him (besides the physical aspect.). The desire to protect this part hit her so hard that her breath hitched. Body guards and security and weapons couldn't protect this part but in that moment, she vowed to herself that she would do her best. And with that thought, the hand over his heart felt warmer, suddenly, as if it were a heater.

Then a playful groan came from her. "Gods, you still feel so damn good in me." Yep. Dick drunk. And Wren didn't care as she pressed her forehead against his. Her engine was still thrumming but she could behave herself.

[meanmugging]

He just kept his arms around her holding her almost as if she were fine porcelain. He let her touch his neck, that was a big thing since they currently were not fucking and he was aware of it more.

" I am not sure what that means, but it sounds pretty." spoken softly, he was mulling over the idea of being called her Kim. It was really scary for him. The real Kim is the guy who writes all those songs for WiK, the one who knows when to fight and when to walk when dealing with the family. the warmth startled him just a little as he looked to her hand then to her. Nah, he must be imagining things. It was a lot today, and there was still more to come.

He pressed his head to hers for a moment, then dipped his head lower bringing his hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose. Well, sure she felt like a little slice of heaven even with his cock passed out, and he was certain that he could have done more with her there. But...he'd already taken things just a bit further than he should have. He had to tell her why he couldn't stay with her. Why she needed to stay away from him. He swallowed hard and lifted his head to look to her... "I have to tell you something."

[whrrenah]

She didn't move when he did, but she didn't cling to him, either. Wren remained supportive, watching him hide in his own way. His confession was good enough to let his own wonder about her words slide, just as the warmth of her hand needed to slide away. "Like... your family really isn't the hotel tycoons like the Hiltons as I originally thought?"

She never talked to him about it and he didn't volunteer the information, either. It wasn't hard to determine that this was probably the reason why he was trying to chase her off-whatever this heavy burden was on his mind.

[meanmugging]

" No, they aren't, but I never thought you were an idiot so I figured you knew that much already." he looked to her his expression was very serious. Yet, it also carried a silent apology for getting her into all of this.

He kissed her shoulder before untangling himself from her. welp so he was going to be making this confession looking like he'd pissed his pants. Not ideal but...

He got himself up and straightened his pants and zipped up. " I can't be with you Wren." he said tucking his shirt back in and fixing his tie. " I am the third kid of the head of the most dangerous family in Thailand. I could have a mark on me at any time, and I could be taken out just the same at any time." he looked to her " So...it's not that I don't want to be with you. It's being born into the mafia...I couldn't do that to you."

[whrrenah]

Mafia. Well, that was something she wasn't expecting. Still on the floor, she looked up at him, hair and dress in disarray. She thought about that information as she slowly rose to her feet, smoothing out her heavily wrinkled dress. Wren reached out for his hand to lead him to the couch and then asked where the first aid kit was. In the kitchen, of course. With a bit of rooting around and one handy microwave later, she came back with the kit, a cup of hot tea with the bag still in place, and the gun she found taped to the underside of one of the counters. That piece she held in a way so as not to be as unthreatening as possible, setting it on the end table closest to him. The safety was still on. "For you so you feel safe here," she said, setting the other things down on the coffee table before sitting herself. "Safe houses never really feel safe, I don't think." And then she started the process of tending to his wounds, her touches sure as she dabbed and wiped and applied. Wren didn't say anything about his family until she was done, taking the tea bag out of the cup and squeezing most of the excess out and gently placed it over his bruised cheek, taking his free hand to have him hold it in place.

Taking a breath, she let her eyes roam over the coffee table and used supplies, back to Kim's face. "So what you're saying is that you're afraid of being with me. I understand." She offered a small smile. "I am a liability. How can you keep yourself in one piece if you're worrying about me, right? What would happen to you if something happened to me. I have to agree, that thought it terrifying. So right now, there's only one way to get out of this mess, that I can see."

Her eyes locked in on Kim's, her voice steady as a rock as she sat beside him, hands folded in her lap. "You're going to have to shoot me, then. Kill me. You won't have to worry about that what if, then. And you can go back to being molded into what they're turning you into." It was the biggest risk to take, but she felt she knew him better than being a cold killer, the heartless man he'd been trying to hard to convince her that he was. In that moment, she placed all her trust in the Kim she had seen peeking though the exteriors and layers of armor and walls, and waited. Like the air around her sucked itself in and she waited for his response.

[meanmugging]

He watched her work, just waiting in silence. Normally things like the injuries he got tonight would just be left along washed when he bathed and that was it.

Then she put the tea bag on his face and lifted his hand to hold it in place. he had been sitting there dumbly even when she put the gun on the table. Waiting for her to speak. Then she did. he closed his eyes.

" It's not that. Not entirely.You think being shot in the head is a terrible way to go? Try being bound, gagged. Tortured until your very tears were bloodied, then if that isn't enough. They'll rape you, over and over and over in between whatever they come up with. All that happens and I can't get to you, I can't find you because they set me up while someone else takes you. These are the type of people I am dealing with." he stopped and tossed the tea bag on the table.

His eyes looked to her as she said the part about killing her. he stood up and picked up the gun off the table, he locked eyes with her and took the safety off the gun. He placed it up to his temple. " So, you're saying I should do this? because I would sooner die than to hurt you."

[whrrenah]

"I don't think that's a good idea," she said softly and as calmly as she could manage. The safety was off, and that was alarming enough. Accidents happened. "You shoot yourself and they'll come barging in, see you on the floor, see me sitting here and they won't care where the gun is. They'll kill me outright if not bring me to your family. And how would you protect me if you're dead?"

She looked so calm and serene as she spoke. Regal. And there were no threats, no dramatic pleas, nothing of the sort. "Because your body won't be working but your soul will watch everything they do to me and you will be tormented with that forever. It'll be more than my heart you break if you shoot yourself, Kim.

"My family has been hunted in the past. I am more than aware of what can happen and how visceral it can be. But what terrifies me more is that the beautiful soul I have glimpsed will be gone forever. I did not learn to care for a cruel man who didn't just up and give some waif of a woman his overpriced penthouse to live in. Who, for some insane reason didn't just let me go and fade into the sunset. There was no reason for you to rescue me from your brother that day, but I'm glad you did. And I don't care about them. I will face all of those bodyguards and lay down on the grenade to protect you if I have to. There's more to protect than your physical self and I don't think anyone else gives a shit about you as a person. And that I will lay down my life for, if I need to."
