Thread: An unhealthy obsession (TheCatalystTM & Google)

Dominic's obsession for Alex was unhealthy at best, but the way that her body craved him was just as morbid. There were some issues there that were more deep-seated and complicated than their physical relationship alone. Between the physical abuse and mental scarring, somewhere in there lay a twisted truth that both of them loved each other and never really figured out how to truly express it. Dominic had been too possessive and caught up with Alex being an object something he could own. Alex had told him.. Once or twice, while he was in the midst of slumber and wouldn't wake up from her words. She didn't have the guts to tell him when he was conscious. Plus, she never really knew how Dominic would react to such things. He could be a loose cannon at times. Prior to and throughout their relationship, Alex had always been sheepish. Especially when it came to telling Dominic how she felt about him or anything else. She would be more apt to endure extra pain to please him rather than admitting she'd reached a limit with him and that gave Dominic all the chances he needed to fulfill any desire he could satisfy. The minute she decided to start seeing him, she'd thrown any chance at leading a normal life out the door. He had laid claim to her. There was nothing she did that didn't involve or revolve around him and it came to a point where she couldn't take it anymore. Lex let out a slight grunt as he pushed up against her rear again, keeping her encased on the dance floor as the crowd seemed to multiply. Not that her vision had cleared much, but she couldn't even see past the sea of people around her to try and catch a glimpse of Trevor or any of the girls at the bar now. She was helpless for the moment how often she'd felt the same way when she and Dominic were still together. Lex knew how to infuriate Dominic in ways that sometimes even worked out to her advantage. At times, She'd purposely set him off if he was rarely in a less than eager mood and she had to have him. Other occasions, she was just trying to piss him off. With a short temper and how much time they'd spent together, it wasn't difficult and this was one of those times. Lex wanted Dominic to be angry. She wanted him to hurt, to feel abandoned and left out of her life to feel like she didn't need him anymore. Mainly, because it was true.. She didn't need him and despite how her body responded to his touch, she tried hard not to show it and to just play the game. Lex would be so kind as to let Dominic turn her head whilst using her neck for leverage.. even putting on a bigger facade by placing her hand over his own as if she were leaning into his palm as her visage turned slightly to face him again. A mild smirk crossed her tiers before she threw his own words back in his face, Do I dare? Sweetheart, you always told me that it was important to take on a challenge. She'd chosen her words carefully, they were meant to sting and she hoped that they did. If there was one thing Alexandria was known for, it was her extremely vivid way of recalling the past. You don't even know who I am or where my place is anymore and I'm sure that scares you. You've never known what it's like to want something you can't have. This was almost starting to become a fun game now for Lex. She knew exactly what Dominic wanted, and yet for maybe the second time since they'd met she could deprive him of that. He could tease her all that he wanted, but that didn't mean he was going to win the prize. She'd allowed him to taunt her, his fingertips playing over the front of the satiny material that made up the amethyst toned dress. Sure, she'd been slightly turned on by it, but she was his match. She could read him just as well as he could read her. She had even gone as far as letting her free-hand drop down to her side, reaching back to rake her manicured nails along the inside of his thigh almost too discreetly as if it was something she'd done a million times before. Y'know, I really, truly had been planning on telling him, but we are just way too busy most of the time. We don't talk much...So, I'd assume he already knows? She shrugged slightly, pearly whites coming out to take hold of her lower tier as she glanced back at him again. It was currently much easier for her to focus than it had been before. It always seemed to awaken something instinctual in Dominic when she bit her lip that way.. and she was just going out of her way to do it. It was bad enough that she'd been sleeping with other people, but for her to infer that she'd done as many unspeakable things with another man? Dominic wouldn't be pleased with that. There wouldn't be any 'no one can compare to you, I'm so glad you found me' talk with her unless she was just purposely trying to toy with him. Lex could easily recall how many times she and Dominic had danced like this.. at parties, social events. It was effortless, but less committed. The counterfeit private moment they were having made up for the lack of sincerity now. He really was starting to frustrate her now, and she had to grin and bear it to try and convince him he couldn't push her buttons even though he was. That's how you want this to end, Dominic. Not me. She shook her head as if to disagree with him, her neck finding its way out of his grip with the shake. I can't think of anything that you could have bought me that I would want or love.. and I can't believe after all this time that you trust you can just buy me off like I give a damn about your money. She was right. She didn't care about his gifts or his money and she was tired of feeling like he could just buy his way out of everything. It was childish and power-hungry. She wasn't going to add to his comments of escaping. Lex was far too distracted. It was as if with one kiss to the flesh of her neck he'd made every muscle remotely close to her groin contract and she could feel the blush settling back into her cheeks.
