Duke’s mocking smile sharpens into something colder, his eyes narrowing as he watches her crumble with clear disdain.

“Oh, spare me the waterworks, Maeve. ‘Done enough’?! I’ve been healing staying out of yer’ way, piecing myself back together while you ‘ave been playing the victim. And now you’re sobbing and begging like I’ve torched yer’ life? Pathetic.”

He steps closer, voice dropping low but edged with venom.

“We’re having this conversation whether you like it or not. Stop the tears, pull yourself together, and talk to me like an adult.”

〝 . . you . . you`ve done enough . 〞 a few stray tears seemed to fall loose , shoulders shrouded as she crumbled further and further .

〝 . . just . . l — leave . . us alone . . 〞

an exaggerated sigh.

“ I am done with this conversation.”

"It must be exhausting being so grumpy...do you have a cigarette?"

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

"Do I know how to answer a question?
Ye’ I fuckin’ do. and that answer is.. I've got a girl who's about to be my wife. wild how that's flyin’ right over your head, isn't it? must be exhausting being this slow."

[☽ 𝘔𝘈𝘌𝘓𝘐𝘚 𝖑𝖊𝖊 ♃ ☾ @St0rm_3nsky]

"Do you know how to answer a question, Shelby?"

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

Duke’s lips curl into a slow, mocking smile, his voice dripping with false disappointment.

“What’s this? Can’t even have a proper conversation anymore Maeve? One word from me and you’re reduced to begging like a frightened child? come on now, I haven’t even done anything.”

[‍‍ ‍‍𝙴𝙾𝚆𝚈𝙽 ‍‍,‍‍ ‍‍𝑴𝑨𝑬𝑽𝑬𝜗𝜚 @WlSTERlABLOOMS]

there was much that could`ve been said , but she couldn`t —-- not physically nor emotionally force herself to . a shuddered exhale akin to a whimper fell by lips , she refused to look duke`s way , to give him the & &.

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

“Ye’ are really testing my fucking patience now.”

[☽ 𝘔𝘈𝘌𝘓𝘐𝘚 𝖑𝖊𝖊 ♃ ☾ @St0rm_3nsky]

"Oh...I'm trembling with fear! Did you see my sister? She's always with you. I thought it was her lying in your bed..."

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

“Watch yer’ fuckin’ tongue before you loose it.”

[☽ 𝘔𝘈𝘌𝘓𝘐𝘚 𝖑𝖊𝖊 ♃ ☾ @St0rm_3nsky]

"If your night had been truly good, your mood would be better. She didn't know how to satisfy you or...?"

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

Duke’s smirk fades into something colder, more measured. He doesn’t raise his voice, doesn’t step closer he simply exhales a slow breath, eyes locked on hers with that unyielding intensity.

“Easy now, Maeve,” he says, low and even, the mocking edge gone, replaced by a quiet warning. “I don’t want trouble, not tonight.”

a beat of silence.

“but ye’ shouldn’t go startin’ things you can’t finish… or that you can’t carry the weight of after. Seems like ye’ already know what that feels like.”

[‍‍ ‍‍𝙴𝙾𝚆𝚈𝙽 ‍‍,‍‍ ‍‍𝑴𝑨𝑬𝑽𝑬𝜗𝜚 @WlSTERlABLOOMS]

⠀

unease only seemed to grow , only adding to the burden of exhaustion and emotional drainage .

〝 𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 . . 〞it was a plea , not a request , not a demand , a tired , barely audible plea .〝 . . not in front her . 〞

⠀

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

“Oh piss off will ye’ looking at that face of yers’ is just bloody annoying now.”

[☽ 𝘔𝘈𝘌𝘓𝘐𝘚 𝖑𝖊𝖊 ♃ ☾ @St0rm_3nsky]

"Oh, I thought you had finally died..."

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

Duke lets out a low, mocking laugh that cuts through the street noise, his eyes narrowing with dark amusement as he watches her knuckles go tight and her gaze dart away.

“Would ya’ look at that —
cat got your tongue, Maeve?”

[‍‍ ‍‍𝙴𝙾𝚆𝚈𝙽 ‍‍,‍‍ ‍‍𝑴𝑨𝑬𝑽𝑬𝜗𝜚 @WlSTERlABLOOMS]

fingers instinctively tightened around the handle of pram , knuckles white beneath gloves . those usually soft eyes were red rimmed , prominent with dark circles as they found duke`s gaze for only a moment . chest & &.

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

oh, he leans in just a fraction closer, that wicked grin deepening as her hands rest warm against his chest. his own fingers drift up, brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear before tracing lightly along her jaw.

“they’re sayin’ ye want me to stop talkin’… and start showin’ ye instead.”

he murmurs, voice low and eyes locked on hers with unmistakable playful tone.

“or am i readin’ ‘em wrong, love?”

[𝒜𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑑. @paramedds]

Head tipping sideways, her hands travel beneath the inseam of his vest, settling right above his chest.

"Is that so?" Her voice croons, an edge of playfulness attached to her words. "And pray tell, what do my eyes say?"

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

[𝐃𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐘 ♱ @RazorHeir]

oh he can’t help but grin wickedly.

“ye’ don’t got to, yer’ eyes say it all.”

[𝒜𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑑. @paramedds]

[Her eyes flit from his lips up to his eyes, staying there with a stirring look that didn't quite reveal her motives. Then stepping back, her shoulder lifts in a shrug.]

I'm not sayin' a thing.
