    Summary

    But she can’t ignore it—can’t ignore the way that the blood rushes in her ears, the increase in her heart rate when he so much as grazes by her, the catch in her breath when he strokes her shoulder with his thumb, crashing her back down to reality. He repeats himself, but his voice is far off in her ears, and she’s elsewhere, grabbing at some semblance of normalcy by trying to pretend that every last thing about this place is hell. She comes up empty.

    Helly hates that she wants him so badly.

    Summary

    On the first page, she just scribbles a few times. Looping, arching shapes, rambling thick lines, scratchy in the centre where she presses down onto it with her middle finger, ink staining the grooves in her skin. When there’s no more room, she tears it off, crumples it up, and tosses it back into the drawer.

    or, five times Helly was weird about a pen, and one time Mark brought it up

    Summary

    She’s been used her whole life, as a family prop, as corporate propaganda, as coerced labor, as a punching bag. Now, she’s going to use someone for once.

    Summary

    One kiss on his shoulder then up on her toes, she presses another into his cheek. Soft and lingering. Shy. A prelude for the words she feels guilty to want to whisper.

     

    “I’m glad you didn’t leave.”

    Summary

    Helena doesn't know how to want anything for herself, and yet, when Mark comes to her tent with kindness rather than admonition, she can't help but want him. Even if she knows she shouldn't. Even if she knows it's wrong.

    Helena has made many wrong choices before, bur she never seems to learn her lesson, she always circles back to choosing incorrectly time after time. She tells herself tonight will be different—she knows she's lying.

    Summary

    “We know each other down there, don’t we?” He asks, but he doesn’t phrase it like a question. Doesn't see the point, not when they both already know the answer.

    Helena’s face flickers. For a second, she almost looks rattled, and hides the rest of her reaction behind a sip of whiskey. The bottle clinks in the silence that stretches, her hand slowly falling away from the counter.
    “We do.” She eventually says.

    Red.

    Dress, hair, mouth. Red like a stop sign you blow through on purpose.

    “Mark.”

    He doesn’t look up. “No.”

    “No, what?”

    “Whatever this is.”

    Summary

    You’d be the first.

    That’s when he knew he was done for – when the heat started blooming in his stomach. Sick, molten, and unmistakably sexual, sinking heavy like lead, straight down into his rapidly swelling cock.

    Now, he’s sprinting to his car like some sort of fucking pervert.
    -
    Or: Mark is so turned on by his interaction with Helena, he's forced to masturbate in his car. It's much more involved than it sounds.

    Summary

    “Helly, I don’t know if you saw it… or if you know, but you have a hickey on your neck.”

    Mark tells her, voice hushed when he says the word he’s never said before. He’s never had to.

    It’s more than likely she doesn’t know she has it. Mark feels bad. But he wants to be honest with her.

    “A what?”

    Helly asked curiously, her hand flying up to her neck. Her fingers pressed against what felt like a bruise again, but she couldn’t see it try as she might. Her gaze hardened with determination as she blew a strand of fiery hair out of her face and turned on her heels.

    “Why is this place allergic to reflections?”

    Summary

    "Mark spends his evening not looking at Helena Eagan. He’s slouched in a hard, wooden chair, crammed into the back of a ballet studio, absolutely not paying attention to her. He doesn’t notice the way her hair is twisted out of her face, or the lean curve of her arms, or the vast expanse of bare back above the cut of her leotard."

    Mark Scout accepts a teaching position at the Myrtle Eagan Ballet Academy; Helena Eagan's attendance might make things complicated.

    “Mark.” She murmurs, her voice echoing. The tap drips.

    She’s so alive, he thinks. So, so alive.

    They both know when he registers it.

    “Oh fuck,” he murmurs, low and thick in his throat.
    “Helly, are you—?”

    The word comes to her, in the same way she knows that creamer goes in coffee and Delaware is a state. Omega.

    “Helly,” Mark says, voice wavering. His eyes dart to the clock on the wall. “They’ll be here any minute.”

    “Better hurry up then, boss.”
