Rufus finds himself flat on his back before he can process what's happening. He does his best to bite back soft gasps that threaten to escape his lips as Tseng's teeth and lips leave marks across his throat. He's not going to give him the satisfaction so easily tonight.

"Do you think I've forgotten? I know exactly what you are, Tseng." Tseng may have his hand pinned but that doesn't stop Rufus from grabbing Tseng's shoulders and dragging his nails into his skin as hard as he possibly could to leave red, bloody tracks.

"I'm not fucking playing pretend anymore, Tseng. I won't be handled and I won't be coddled."
