Itโ€™s almost funny how many times youโ€™ve tried.

The first time, you said it soft, like you were afraid of breaking something fragile between you. He laughed in your face.

The second time, you came with packed bags. He threw them out the window.

The third time, you didnโ€™t even get the words out before he grabbed your wrist and yanked you right back where you belongedโ€”against him. Under him.

Now, you donโ€™t say anything.

You just run.

Sukuna finds you two cities over. In some run-down motel that smells like piss and cigarette ash. It takes him all of five minutes to bribe the front desk, and another thirty seconds to kick the door in.

You jolt awake at the sound, eyes going wide when you see him.

And fuck, that look on your faceโ€”he wants to carve it into his memory.

You scramble back, pressing yourself against the headboard, voice hoarse from sleep. โ€œGo away.โ€

He grins. โ€œThatโ€™s cute, brat.โ€

Youโ€™re already shaking your head, fingers gripping the sheets. โ€œIโ€™m done.โ€

Sukunaโ€™s knuckles crack as he flexes his hands. Done? You think youโ€™re done?

No, sweetheart.

The only way youโ€™re leaving him is in a body bag.

He moves faster than you can react, grabbing your ankle and yanking you down the bed. You thrash, kicking at him, but itโ€™s useless. Heโ€™s too strong, too big, too fucking determined.

โ€œSukuna, stopโ€”โ€

His hand closes around your throat, pinning you down. Your body locks up, breath stalling, and he watches the panic creep into your eyes.

โ€œYโ€™think you can just fuckinโ€™ leave me?โ€ His voice is low, a dangerous growl. His free hand shoves up your shirt, fingers bruising against your ribs. โ€œRun off, like I wouldnโ€™t hunt you down?โ€

You claw at his wrist, struggling, but he just laughs.

โ€œYouโ€™re fuckinโ€™ stupid,โ€ he mutters, flipping you onto your stomach like you weigh nothing. His palm presses between your shoulder blades, shoving your face into the mattress. โ€œGonna teach you somethinโ€™, babe.โ€

You make a broken noise, but heโ€™s already ripping your underwear down, already pulling his belt loose.

You donโ€™t want this.

You never do.

But that doesnโ€™t matter.

Because youโ€™re his, whether you fucking like it or not.

His cock shoves into you with no warning, no preparation. You choke on a sob, body clenching down, trying to force him out. He groans at the tightness, fingers bruising into your hips.

โ€œFuck, yeah. Thatโ€™s it, babyโ€”โ€ His thrusts are brutal, shoving you into the mattress with every stroke. โ€œYou gonna leave me now?โ€

You canโ€™t answer, not when heโ€™s forcing every breath from your lungs, not when heโ€™s breaking you open.

But it doesnโ€™t matter.

He already knows the answer.
