"Everything you did with Chelsea... Do it with me too."

Silence rang loud once the words left his lips. He gazed at her with reverence like a priest admiring the face of God. (Y/n) looked amused but she said nothing. Seconds passed by until her laughter burst free from her throat confusing the assassin. Her laughter shook her body, making Dimitri frown in confusion. 

"You want to try to be a bottom? To have me completely Dom mommy you on the same level as Chelsea? God, Dimitri this is... It's too funny!" Dimitri growled, not liking to be ridiculed.

"And why not?"

"Because you don't have it in you. You don't have what it takes to be a submissive partner. You always want to dominate and this request is a form of domination over my experiences with Chelsea." Dimitri's frown deepened, making (Y/n) smirk wider. "You don't really want it but it makes you insecure to know that I have bonded with someone in a way you'll never understand. But don't worry Dimitri, I still like you as you are. Our love is just... a different flavor."

"What do you mean? What's wrong with me?" (Y/n) lifted his chin.

"You have the heart of a warrior, a storm rages in your eyes. I admire that about you and as a woman I desire you. You already satisfy me."

"I satisfy the woman, but not the queen. That will not be enough for me so let's try. I am yours, (Y/n)... Even if you are not yet mine."

"Dimitri, you need to reconsider. This isn't exactly the sort of thing you recover from easily. And I also don't think that I have it in me to do that to you. I may have considered it before but now that we're in a serious relationship, it just feels weird."

"Should I remind you of the things you said to me last night?"

"And what things did I say last night?"

Dimitri pulled out his phone and played an audio. It was her voice, very drunk, very stupid but hers nonetheless.

"Dimitri the way I'd fuck you isn't even funny. I will ride you like the stallion that you are. We will gallop through meadows and valleys but like figuratively. You won't even survive what I'm gonna do to you. Your cock will explode, your heart would explode, everything will explode, you know? Like boom. You're so hot, you make me so fucking horny. But you look so smug and mean which makes me want to fuck you harder and make you know your place. I also want to peg you. I'm really curious what kinds of faces you'll make. Also, I just want to tell you that your butt looks fat but when you were sleeping I touched it and it's really hard like a brick wall. It's shaped like buns but hard like a brick wall. You have a brick wall butt." 

(Y/n) pressed pause pushing the phone away from her. Her face was a blushing mess, shame and embarrassment swirled in her chest. This made Dimitri smirk as he rubbed her knees and kissed her thighs. 

"Okay fine... There's an exposition coming up and I haven't attended for a year. I can't show my face without a proper sub while Chelsea shows up with her new mommy. You can come with me and I'll train you beforehand. Geez, I should never get drunk when around you." She rubbed her temples to alleviate the headache forming in her head. Dimitri always has a way of getting the things that he wants. Spoiled bastard. 

"Wrong, you should only get drunk when you're around me. No one will take care of you like the way that I do." Dimitri flashed her with his signature smirk. (Y/n) rolled her eyes. She hated how smug he could be. 

"I should go prepare for class." she sighed, standing from her seat. She entered his bathroom to take a bath while Dimitri went to the kitchen to prepare some to-go snacks for her. 

(Y/n) still hasn't had her breakfast or lunch so it's his responsibility to ensure that she takes the necessary nourishment to secure her health. Thankfully, she's not having a terrible hangover thanks to the serum he gave to her last night. Hecate had custom-made a special medicine that combats the effects of hangover which has proved to be useful during missions. 

Dimitri hummed a soft tune as he rummaged through the kitchen. The victorious smile never left his lips even as he brewed coffee. He then packed some protein-filled cookies in a tiny lunch box and added some sliced fruits to make it healthier. He wanted nothing but the best for his paramour and if you want something done right you do it yourself. Plus, he enjoys the thought of doing husband duties for his goddess. 

(Y/n) had haphazardly left her bag in his living room and some of her things had fallen out. Dimitri carefully checked her things and made sure to place them back neatly. However, as he was about to put back her notebook, a black piece of paper fell out from the pages and landed on his shoe. He immediately picked it up and saw a Spider Lily printed in metallic colors. He flipped it over and saw letters printed at the back. 

"We know who she is. We await your orders.

-Chalk"

Dimitri's eyes narrowed. He knew a secret code when he saw one and this is a code. It means that (Y/n) is exchanging covert messages with someone. He needs to figure out who this "Chalk" is and what messages they've exchanged so far. But what if it's completely unrelated to him? What if it's just something about the Garden that he shouldn't know about? 

Wrong, as her faithful lover it's his duty to know everything about her. 

He has a bad feeling about this. Something tells him that (Y/n) is doing something that could put her in danger and as her lover, he has to ensure that she remains safe no matter what. He needs to figure this out. 

"Dimitri, I'm leaving." (Y/n) said as she emerged from his room. 

"I'll drive you." He immediately slid the piece of paper inside the notebook and shoved it back in her bag like nothing happened. 

"Are you going to attend class?"

"Yes, I've finished most of my work and Tristan and Nyx can deal with the other things. Plus, we're classmates now. Everything is better."

"Is that allowed? It's nearly the end of the semester."

"Baby, everything is allowed if you have money. I just gave my professors a little bit of a bonus. It shouldn't be a problem."

"Darling, you're wasting too much money on petty things. Just because you have a lot of it doesn't mean you can be reckless with how you use it." 

Dimitri chuckled at her reprimanding tone. It feels like they're already married and she's a wife disciplining her husband. The thought made him feel warm and excited. 

"I'm so lucky to have you with me. No one cares for me as much as you do." Dimitri picked up something from the table and handed it to her. He wrapped one arm around her shoulder and watched her reaction. 

"What's this?" she asked. 

It was a corporate black folder which she flipped through immediately. She saw the name and logo of a bank on the front page and frowned at a contract that already bore her name and data. There's also a shiny black credit card that has her name printed in gold lettering. 

"Now that we're officially in a relationship, I opened a bank account for you. This is where you'll get your allowance. Your sugar baby allowance. For now, I can only give you (something equivalent to $35k in your currency) monthly. I'm still trying to rebuild Frost Bringer so my funds are limited. This is all that I can spare. But don't worry, baby, daddy's going to work harder to give you more." Dimitri kissed the top of her head lovingly. (Y/n) pulled away slightly to face him. 

"What?! I was just joking! You didn't have to. Dimitri, take this back. I don't need it." 

(Y/n) tried to push the folder back into his hands but Dimitri closed it and placed his hand securely on top of hers. Obviously, he wouldn't back down, making her frown. 

"(Y/n) I know you had it rough without having your parents during your earlier years, but now that I'm here I'll make sure that you'll never want for anything. I will provide you with the life that you deserve."

"I'm not even your wife." Dimitri leaned in and whispered in her ear. 

"Oh, baby but you will be. I won't let anyone take you away from me. Even you. Not now, not ever." Dimitri gave her cheek a quick peck before moving away to retrieve his keys. (Y/n) shivered at his possessiveness and went to fix her stuff. 

Dimitri has given her so many things, all very expensive and well thought out. Now she feels like she's obligated to do things for him. Her feelings for the assassin become more and more complicated.  Sometimes she wants to hug him and be with him, while other times, she feels like running away and vanishing completely. It was conflicting. Dimitri is completely unpredictable so their future is something hard for her to foresee.

Loud footsteps resounded against the polished marble floors of the lobby. Thanatos walked in with the confidence of a conqueror, proud and arrogant. With his head held high, everyone who beheld him was stuck with either awe or fear. His gaze alone is a piercing weapon that can paralyze any man who has never known true terror. Even among his colleagues, he is a legend, a legend second only to Aidoneus. 

Thanatos walked into the control room to get his new mission. He was still recovering from the injuries that he got from his fight with Stravage but as a professional assassin, he can man up and endure it. He's too prideful to let Aidoneus single-handedly rebuild Frost Bringer while he sits on his ass. He took it upon himself to accept the missions that Aidoneus couldn't take to earn more income for their organization.

"Ah, Thanatos, you're already here. Perfect, I've got the files for your mission and your gear is already ready. You can go pick it up from Anubis once I've briefed you on your mission." Trismegistus greeted, flashing him with a wide smile.

Interesting.

He knew that Trismegistus was overworked and overly anxious with other people. Their usual interactions involve the hacker shivering with fear as he stuttered out his mission to him. It makes him wonder why Trismegistus is all smiles and rainbows now.

"Hey, Tris. Can you get me a Coke? I already drank yours so now I'm all out of drinks. Pretty please." Xavier gritted his teeth after hearing the familiar voice. It belonged to none other than his most hated nemesis, Belladonna 618. 

His rivalry with Eidanne goes way back to his first missions as an assassin of Frost Bringer. During his first missions, she would already complete it before he even gets there. She would leave her insignia on the body of the target and taunt him with some sarcastic remarks written in blood. Then she would blow up the place to get rid of her evidence while giving him only a few minutes to escape. She would be there watching him from some great height (to compensate for her lack of it) and wave at him like a mischievous fae. He would try to chase her but she would already be gone when he got there as if she didn't even exist. She leaves no traces of her existence, no footprints, and no shadows on any CCTV. She was so good at covering her tracks that sometimes he doubted his own sanity. 

Aidoneaus and the others initially believed that she wasn't real and that he was the one blowing the places up. It led to multiple arguments and altercations with the Assassin King to the point that he was almost fired. 

Xavier spent long nights figuring out who she was and what faction she belonged to but all of his efforts proved to be in vain. No one knew about her, heck they didn't even know about the Garden of Flowers back then since they were only a small organization. 

When he finally accepted that she wasn't real and just a figment of his imagination due to fatigue, she struck again. He found a Belladonna flower and a note in his hotel room one night. It said, "Thank you for the fun games we play. -Belladonna 618." After that, she vanished completely and for a while, he thought that she would be gone forever leaving his grudges unsatisfied. 

As her last gift, she blew up his car as a form of sick entertainment for her insane humor. From then on, Xavier's hatred for the Belladonna festered but it did not come without any sense of respect for her wit and craftiness. Despite how much he hates her, he cannot deny that she is exceptional as an assassin. Of course, he would never admit it to her face. 

"Please wait a moment, Thanatos." Trismegistus excuses himself to go fetch her order, putting it above his duties to deliver missions. 

"What are you doing here?" Xavier glared at Eidanne who didn't even bother to look at him as she typed away at Trismegistus' computer.

"I would like to lie and say that I'm helping Tris with a mission which is what I've been telling most people but since you're not a person, aka a bat-faced goat, I'll tell you the truth. I'm just playing Minecraft on his laptop to pass the time."

Xavier threw a knife at the Belladonna who didn't even flinch as it flew past her shoulder. She yawned and continued playing the game completely, ignoring his seething glare.

"Here you go, B." Tristan walked in and placed the coke in front of Eidanne who thanked him with a pretty smile. Xavier didn't miss the way Tristan blushed before turning towards him. He frowned at the hacker who seemed to cower within himself once he noticed his stare.

"I... Sorry for the wait. Here's the file." Xavier flipped through the folder and read through the files detailing the target's appearance, daily routine, and possible locations. "The target is Victor Andreas, head of the Andreas Drug Cartel. The rival faction wants him dead to take over his turf and buyers. The price on his head is USD 2.2 million. As usual, you get 60% of the commission if you complete the job."

"No need. I'll only take 40. Can't let Aidoneus take all the glory for rebuilding this empire."

"Okay, you can take your requested firearms from Anubis. Have a great slaughter, Thanatos."

Xavier simply nodded before heading out. But as he reached the door he turned one last time to watch Tristan take a seat beside the Belladonna who then began to explain how to mine a diamond. He couldn't help but frown as something bitter coiled in his stomach.

Dimitri entered soon after Xavier and went straight for the Belladonna. 

"Tristan, could you excuse us for a moment."

"Oh, sure things, boss."

As soon as Tristan left Dimitri immediately took a seat beside Eidanne who closed the laptop and faced him. "So, what brings you to me, cousin-in-law slash temporary boss?"

"I saw a paper from (Y/n)'s bag. It's black but there's a flower on the front, a spider lily. At the back, it says "We know who she is. We await your orders. " The sender says Chalk. What do you know of this?"

Eidanne seems to ponder the information for a moment before telling him her conclusion. "Hmm... It seems to be a hunt for a Black Dahlia. Now that Sis has her own people, her duties involve ordering the hunt for traitors. (Y/n) can be soft-hearted and she wouldn't do anything to hurt her sisters. I'm guessing that it's a trial sent to her by the higher-ups. If she fails those against her can undermine her authority, if she succeeds then she cements her position as a high-ranking Lycoris Radiata. I'm just guessing based on the situation. Despite bagging you, many still question her ability to lead. But if it's not that, it might have something to do with the price of the Crown."

"So even you don't know what it means?" 

"Yeah, I don't really pry into her professional life too much. But I'll ask the other girls. Although it's a bit strange... Why would she trust someone else with this task aside from me? I'm her number one Belladonna and the ones in her command are much weaker than me. I'll have to figure out who Chalk is."

Dimitri frowned. Her theories aren't exactly farfetched but he had a nagging feeling that there's something more than meets the eye. Whatever plans (Y/n) has, he needs to figure it out, especially now that she's cooperating with unknown forces.
