Even though she tried hard not to, Aria’s eyes kept trailing over to the man without her permission, and more than once they were met with the grey ones, which in return made her blush even more.
She thanked God when a couple of new customers came in and she was able to do something else other than stare at the guy like a crazy stoker.
Half an hour later, while she was busy cleaning the table Aria heard someone stop behind her. Turning around she almost yelped out loud, having collided with a strong chest. Looking up she saw that it belonged to the man from before, who was smirking, yet again while his hands squeezed Aria’s hips lightly, warmed the skin beneath them.
“Did I startle you?” that raspy voice asked, his face so close to Aria’s that she could feel his hot breath on her skin, making her shiver.
“N... no.” Aria managed to stutter while blushing furiously and ducking her head in an attempt to hide it. The man chuckled, and stepped away slowly, finally allowing her to breathe again.
“You are very cute when you blush, has anyone ever told you that?” he asked as Aria just shook her head quickly, unable to speak properly since her stomach was fluttering with butterflies.
She felt fingers under her chin, making her look up to see that the man was serious now, his gaze so hard that it was setting Aria on fire.
“Well, you are; cute, I mean. Would you like to go out with me sometime?” he asked, and Aria had a sudden thought that she must have fallen asleep at the counter and was dreaming because there was no way that this God would ask someone like her out.
The man's eyebrow lifted a little in question so she quickly nodded without a second thought. That made him smile a sinful grin, which only made Aria want to leach onto him like a koala bear and never let go.
“Great. I'll pick you up after your shift then.” he said and winked, and once he was at the door he turned around and said,
“The name is David, by the way. See you later, cutie.”

Present
Aria woke up with a start. Her head was pounding, her body hurt like she had been run over by a truck and worst of all she couldn't remember anything from the previous day.
She realized that she had trouble opening her eyes, since every time she tried the light in the room made her feel like a thousand needles were stabbing them.
She groaned and tried to shift onto her stomach and bury her head beneath the pillows, but something stopped her. The realization that her arms and legs were tied to the bed sobered her up instantly and her eyes flew wide open in a second.
She raked her head, trying to remember what happened, until the memory of last night flashed through her mind, making Aria’s blood run cold; David.
No, no, no, no!
The word kept repeating in her mind as her stomach filled with terror.
“Well look who is awake.” a low whisper came from the other side of the room, making Aria turn toward the sound in a heartbeat.
She was having trouble seeing properly, her sight still clouded a little, but she knew who the person was without a doubt in her mind. That raspy voice, that once made Aria shiver in pleasure, was for a long time now the leading star of her nightmares.
“No!” she yelled, tugging harshly on the ropes that were tied tightly around her wrists and ankles as she desperately tried to get free.
“Tusk, tusk. Is that the way to treat your Master after so much time apart?” David asked before stepping out of the shadows and making his way over to the bed slowly, his eyes fixed on Aria’s struggling body like a predator's on its prey.
“You are not my Master, you sick son of a bitch!” Aria screamed, tugging on the restraints so violently that the bed had started to creak.
David was on her in an instant, straddling her as his palm connected with Aria’s cheek harshly, the sound of it somehow louder than it should be in the relative quiet of the room.
“You little, ungrateful bitch! Who do you think you are to talk to me like that!? I realize now, that you have managed to forget how to treat your Master with respect. We will have to rectify that, and soon.” David purred in her ear, before licking it and biting the earlobe. Aria shivered in disgust at the feeling of the man’s tongue on her skin, as bile rose up in her throat.
“As far as I can remember you stopped being my Master when you stabbed me and left me to bleed out in the forest.” she managed to say without having her voice waiver. She was scared out of her mind but Aria had decided that she would rather die than show it to the monster in front of her.
She spat on him then, knowing what a huge mistake it was even before her spit hit David’s chin, but unable to care anymore. If she was going to die, she wasn’t going to go without a fight.
“You fucking whore!” David screamed as he wiped the spit off his face and then grabbed Aria by the neck.
“You are mine! You were mine from the moment I saw you and you will remain mine 'till the moment you die!”
Aria heard David rant, but it was like she was hearing him through water. Her vision was starting to blur from the lack of oxygen, her brain shutting
