Asher paced around the motel room as Carter watched him. "I can't tell if you're mad at me or the hair dye."

"I liked the blue...." Asher whined. "And this sucks..how'd she even find you?"

"I walked in and she was just there Asher. "I don't know what else to say don't be mad at me she refused to let me go without seeing you and she threatened to call the cops if I didn't. I wasn't going to loose you."

Asher hesitated before sitting down across from him. He felt funny the color wasn't his favorite and he was questioning why Valery said all those things. If she thought of him as a good person why did she leave him for dead. Carter stood and went to sit by Asher when he flinched.

Carter stepped back. "What was that?"

"Nothing. A shiver."

"This relationship won't work if you lie to me." Carter growled as he slowly lowered himself to be face to face with Asher. Asher shot up.

"Lie to you? When have I lied to you? For fucks sake..what are you on? What did she say to you?"

"You flinched."

"I..I guess I did okay...I'm sorry you still still scare me sometimes alright."

Carter cocked his head. "I scare you still? Even after all I've done, I've changed my lifestyle for you I've left my family behind. I've stopped eating human for you. I've started killing lowlifes for you. Why are you so adamant about that anyway? Why child predators and rapists when there's so many different options?"

"No..nothing.." Asher said turning his back to Carter. Carter cocked his head seeing Asher instantly shake. "Was just better then innocent people."

"Asher what...you're lying again. Be honest with me or this isn't going to work."

Asher twisted to look back at Carter tears running down his face.

"Is it because of what I did to you?" Carter asked stepping back.

"God damnit Carter no, no it isn't. Yes that's why you still scare me sometimes. Sometimes I have nightmares about our first time. I remember the cold of the rain..the feeling of your..your fluids, my blood and mud. I still have nightmares of you raping me and using me...but but now..now I have chosen you...I don't fear you raping me anymore. I don't fear that because the relationship we have is no longer master and slave but dominate and submissive. I don't let you touch me without consent anymore...you aren't why I wanted this... I still fear you'll get a craving for human and do whatever you can to get to it even if that means putting be back in a collar and making me do as you ask..." his hands tightened into balls, his nails digging into his fists. "I still fear that I'm going to wake up one day and you're going to be sick of asking for what you want and just take it..but this isn't why I choose those bastards for us to kill."

Carter clearly looked destroyed. He didn't realize Asher still had fear. He offered his lap but Asher stood staring at him. "I..I was abused by my uncle as a child....I wasn't always an only child. I had a sister, he abused us both, she didn't live through the experience. Your cock was not the first to touch me or be inside me but I liked to have thought of myself as a virgin until I decided I wanted you...Valery was my first real experience where I wanted it...but she wasn't you..."

Carter stood and quickly wrapped Asher into a hug. "Why didn't you tell me? I would have talked to you about it let you cry it out or something."

"He's still alive," Asher replied pulling away from Carter.

"So why haven't we killed him yet?"

"Because I wasn't strong enough yet. I'm barley holding myself together...I want to be strong for you I want to prove to you I'm..I'm worth keeping around. Valery left me for dead and didn't want me..we had planned to leave together but then she chose to leave without me...I wouldn't have gone with her I don't think...but sometimes I wonder what our lives would be like if she saw me as strong enough....."

"Are you saying you don't want me?" Carter asked stepping back.

"No! God damnit if you think I don't want you aster everything I have ever done for you..you've lost your god damn mind! I've become a killer for you. I let you pretty much use me as a sexual slave when you're horny. When I walked out of that hospital I could have gone to the bus stop on my own, I could have left you. I knew the van was there...I knew you were there. I could have left you! But I chose to come back to you after everything..everything you've done to me. Raped me, abused me, killed my parents. I've chosen you after all of that. And yet right now you're standing here thinking I'd leave you."

"Asher..."

"If you ever want a real family with me, like our own kids and a house and a dog or a cat or I don't know but a real family you have to stop killing for good. And I know you better then anyone else, you couldn't stop yourself from killing when you made a promise to me that you would. I accepted that and gave you a choice to help me in my idiotic plan to kill as many child predators and rapists or leave for good. Now..now I'm giving you a choice... pick me...pick us...or or..go and don't come back."

He pulled away and headed out the door.

"Where are you going?" Carter snapped as he stood.

"I'm giving you some time to think about what you're going to say to me. You get angry and then you say stupid shit. So..so I'm going to go cry in the car while you thinking about what you're gonna say. I'm trying to be a strong man for you, but sometimes I still cry and..and I hate thinking you think I'm weak and droppable like Valery did. So..so think about it!" He walked out the door and slammed it shut.

Carter stood, his fists shaking, he sat back down knowing he was right. He was saying stupid things. He shouldn't have ever said that to him. He paced the room for a minute and nodded knowing that it was clear his choice was Asher. He stood and headed to the door to find his fiancé, Ashers once blue hair was now a mix of red and purple. The upper part was red where the blue dye had begun to fade while the tips were purple. The two dyes had strangely mixed, Asher didn't hate it but felt silly while Carter found it cute.

As he stepped out of the motel room he heard the sound of someone scream. He raced to their car to find the drivers side door wide open but Asher to be gone, it was dark, the stars twinkled about him as he began to search for his lover. A second scream came from a near by ally way. He raced towards his to find Asher gagged and bent against a wall as a man who stunk of alcohol was dry humping Asher.

Carter let out a sigh of relief seeing he hadn't raped him yet. Asher looked up, tears of gratitude raced down his cheeks as Carter stalked towards throwing the drunk man off, the man stood staggering as he attempted to throw the bottle of beer in his hand at the larger man. Carter growled before grabbed him by the throat and lifting him up against the brick. Slamming him against the wall he began to strangle him, without much hesitation he began to stab him with force. Asher was busy pulling the gag out and pulling his pants back up while Carter finished the job.

Carter grunted at Asher and he knew what to do he lifted the lid to the garbage can and Carter tossed his body in. "Trash..fucking trash..." he snarled before scooping Asher up and dragging him back to their motel room. "What happened." He asked gruffly pulling his face up toward his own by his cheeks.

"I didn't lock the door..it was my fault..I'm so sorry I'm so sorry." Asher cried as she held onto Carter. "I could t see through the tears then all the sudden I was being dragged down the ally...fuck..he hurt me-"

"He what?" Asher winced as he pulled his shirt up to reveal his naked chest. Cigarette burns littered his side. "How long had he had you?"

"Five maybe ten minutes..." Asher sobbed.

Carter froze. "I didn't protect you." He growled as he adjusted Asher to straddle him. "I should have done better. Asher I..." Asher stopped him from speaking by pressing his lips against his.

"You've saved my life..again."

Carter only nodded and stood placing Asher back on the side of the bed. Carter got down on one knee and grabbed his hand with the ring on it. Asher eyed him as Carter pulled the ring off. Asher sucked in his breath thinking that Carter was going to stand and walk out the door but instead Carter put it back on his finger and began to speak. "I've chosen you over my family, my wife and children, my sister. I've given up the life I knew and have chosen you and our new life. I've chosen us...I've chosen us."

Asher smiled as Carter pulled him into a kiss and stood. "I..I want to go back to see my mother just so she knows I'm alive..you don't have to come with me b-." Asher stopped him.

"I will come with you but I won't eat any human. I hope you're willing to fight for me."

Carter nodded. "We will do this together okay. I promise I won't let them hurt you but you may have to play the role of my slave or sub submissive."

Asher sucked in his breath. "If it means that you are happy. But first the lake and...the homestead. Please."

Carter nodded and kissed him once more. "Do you really want me to be a father?"

Asher turned his head to look up at him. "Do you want me to be?"

Carter only smiled and kissed his forehead. "Your right." The two held each other for a while longer before Carter headed to the shower still blood stained. Asher changed into something more comfortable to sleep in and dozed off before Carter had come back.

Carter looked Asher over as he slept. "I'm going to do whatever it takes to protect you. Even if that means killing more of my family..." Carter curled up next to him letting him sleep in peace. The next morning the news was abuzz with new information about an apparent Cannibal roaming the town.

"Some of a bitch..Valery what have you done."

Asher work to Carter pacing. "What's wrong?"

"Valery has told the town of the cannibal and they've gone and blocked the roads again. Your names out there too. As a victim of my sadistic torture. Your pictures all over the news and now I don't know what to do."

Asher looked his up and down. "I'm not a victim..."

Carter nodded. "I know my love, you aren't but that..that..ugh that bitch has gone and messed everything up for us."

"She's the mother of your children be nice." Asher warned as he sat up. Carter was right, images of him from when it was just himself, his parents, and Valery littered the news. Carter was growling in agitation. Asher sat on his lap trying to calm him but he was clearly angry. "Use me..get your mind off of it. We can..can wait to go to the lake and kill that man who lived. He's probably still in the hospital but..."

Carter looked down at Asher, he was tugging off his own clothes which did distract the killer. Carter took it into his own hand to finish stripping him of his clothing. Carter pushed Asher onto his knees and Asher knew his job. He bobbed his head as the TV soon became muted and Ashers gags were the only sound left in the motel room.

"Fuck.." Carter moaned as he released his nut. Asher looked up at Carter swallowing. "You always know how to make me happy Ash."

Asher grinned as he licked his lips then continued to please Carter. He wasn't sure if it was out of love or fear. He still worried one day Carter would just snap and take his frustrations out on him like he once had. Cater didn't take notice to Ashers whines as he took a fistful of his red and purple hair and thrusted in and out. Carter was breathing heavy as he tossed Asher on the bed and began to intensely violate him.

Asher moaned and whined as Carter held him on his lap. Asher eyed the TV seeing a price show up under his name. Asher grabbed the remote unmuting as Carter began to thrust in harder. Carter stopped about to grasp Asher by his throat when he heard the TV.

"A twenty thousand dollar reward to anyone who can bring Asher back home safe."

Carter stopped moving and turned to look at the TV, Asher muted it again and held his hands up innocently. Carter growled and grasped his wrists before pinning him back underneath himself.

"Watch then try to take you from me." He snarled as his thrusts began hard and fast. Ashers eyes grew wide as realization hit. Carter was getting into his protective ownership mode. He wiggled as Carter finally hit his climax, Asher let out a loud moan as he was filled. His own orgasm came soon after covering Carter's chest. "Who do our belong to?" Carter asked staring down at him.

"I belong to you Carter."

"Good boy." Asher attempted to sit up before Carter began to thrust in again. "I'm not done, lay back down."

Asher nodded breathlessly as Carter grasped his hips and Ashers back arched. Carter growled in excitement as Asher moaned and begged. Carter had what he wanted and he would be damned if anyone tried to take him away.
