What if Will felt disgusted by her after hearing it?
Sure, the man didn’t mind Aria’s scars, but the story behind them was on a whole other level and Aria was terrified of what his reaction would be.
Will William, upon hearing the whole story, realize that he had made a mistake? Will he leave Aria and find someone who was not as damaged and broken as she was; someone who was pure and untainted by other men.
Aria sure hoped not, because that would maybe hurt her more than what those men did. She had stupidly fallen in love with Will, and if the man suddenly decided to leave her, Aria didn’t know how she would cope.
~
“Is there something on your mind, baby? You look distracted.” Will asked her, as Aria flinched for being so obvious.
They were on the sofa, snuggled beneath the blankets, as they spent their time cuddling and talking. Aria had tried to participate in the conversation but the thought of what she was preparing to do lay heavy on her mind, preventing her from thinking about anything else.
Aria looked up into those beautiful green eyes that she had come to love so much and sighed. It was now or never because if she bailed, she wasn’t sure if she’ll ever pick up the courage to try again.
“I wanted to talk to you about something.” she said quietly, her eyes traveling from the man to the dancing ambers in the fireplace.
“What about? Is everything okay?” Will asked as he scooted closer to her, his arm wrapping around Aria’s shoulders and pulling her into his chest.
“Everything is fine. I just feel the need to tell you something, because if we are going to do this…”, Aria said while waving her hand between the two of them, “then you have the right to know. But I am scared.” she finished and let out a frustrated sigh. Will nodded slowly in understanding and took her hand in his.
“You can tell me anything baby. I am here for you and I will never judge you or think badly about you. Remember that.”
Aria puffed out the breath that she was holding, steeling herself and then began.
“I had just turned 18 when I met him; David. We met when he came in for a cup of coffee at the cafe I worked at half-time. I’ll be honest with you; I thought that he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. I remember him flirting with me at the time and me blushing like a stupid fool, and so when he asked me out, I immediately agreed without a second thought. And why wouldn’t I? He was older and handsome and everything I thought I wanted.” Aria paused and swallowed a few times, her stomach already in tight knots, before continuing.
“We began dating and he was the sweetest and most loving man, he would shower me with gifts, take me on trips and just be there when I needed him...” she paused once again as her voice broke before she could continue, while tears started running down her face. Will wiped them off but remained silent and patiently waited for Aria to go on.
“…Then, after about a year, he asked me to move in with him. I, of course, agreed, since his house was better than the University dorm I was staying in at the time, and because I wanted to since I was in love with him. At first, everything was great but then David started acting strange. He would check up on me all the time or act jealous when I wanted to spend time with my friends and family. After a while he started beating me, calling me names and threatening to kill me if I said anything to anyone or tried to leave. He eventually made me cut all ties with my family and drop out of college, which effectively put a stop on my dream of becoming a doctor.”
Aria stopped talking for a second, needing to prepare for what she was going to say next, since all that she had already said, was nothing to what was coming.
“And then the hell began. David started bringing his ‘friends’ over. In the beginning, they would just insult me and such, but then one day one of them assaulted me while David just sat there and laughed ignoring my pleas for him to help me. After that, they all did the same. Every day they would come to the house and use me as they pleased, beat me and c…cut me...” Aria stuttered, beginning to shake as sobs escaped her mouth.
She hated remembering that part of her life, let alone talking about it. The only other person she had told everything was Meg, and not even Nura knew the gruesome details, just the general story.
Will was still holding her hand in a tight grip, his hand shaking slightly, but Aria refused to look at him.
“I tried to fight back at first, I swear, but I was too weak by that point and almost starved, and the punishments for disobeying David’s orders were bad; the word on my chest being one of them and the death of my friend from school, after she tried to help me escape, the other.
So, in the end, I guess I just gave up and learned to live with the pain as one day bled into another and by the time I realized it, I had been there for two years. But then one day it all changed when David tried to kill me. He said that I was no longer good enough, that I was getting old and that he needed to find someone new and ‘fresh’ as he put it.
He dragged me into the nearby woods, stabbed me two times and left me there to bleed to death. I guess he thought that I had died but he was wrong. I had somehow managed to drag myself out of the woods and to the highway nearby where I fainted on the side of the road.
The next thing I knew I was waking up in the hospital one town over, after being in a coma for three days. After I healed enough, I sneaked out of the hospital and got out of town, ending up in New York where I lived on the streets, as you already know. I met Meg five months later.”
The first
Will sat in complete silence while Aria spoke in a monotone voice as if trying to detach herself from all the horrible things that had happened to her. His mind whirled as a scene after a gruesome scene flashed through his mind and he didn’t know what to say or even what to think after hearing all that had happened to Aria.
The one thing he did know was that if he ever came face to face with that monster David, Will would kill him without hesitation.
That man had turned Aria into a toy for his amusement, tortured her and raped her for two whole years; he deserved to suffer.
Will looked at the girl after she had stopped talking and saw that she was now silently crying while staring into the fire.
“Aria?” he said and knew that Aria had heard him, but she didn’t react and just kept staring unseeingly.
“Do you regret being with me, now that you know what a disgusting whore I was?” Aria suddenly asked him, the absurd question leaving him shocked and outraged as he stared at her while trying to figure out if the girl was joking.
“Don’t!” he unwillingly roared, making Aria flinch and drew into herself. Will closed his eyes and took a big breath, trying to calm down since the last thing Aria needed at that moment was to have Will yell at her. He moved closer to her, took her into his arms and only then noticing that she was shivering.
“Don’t you ever talk about yourself like that. What they did to you was not your fault. Your only mistake was loving and trusting someone that did not deserve you. You were young and naive and he knew that and took advantage of it.” Will whispered in Aria’s ear while caressing her cheek as he tried to make her realize that it was never her fault.
Aria was still crying, her blue eyes looking haunted and incredibly sad, and Will hated it. Aria was the sweetest person that he had ever met who deserved all the happiness in this world, and he decided that he was going to make sure to give it to her no matter what.
“And I could never feel disgusted by you. I told you already, you are perfect in my eyes, baby.”
Aria hugged him after that and hid her head in the crook of Will’s neck. Not long after she was asleep, probably exhausted by everything, so Will picked her up and put her to bed, wanting her to be more comfortable. Aria didn’t even stir when he hugged her from behind and threw the covers over the both of them.
“Goodnight, baby. I love you.” he whispered to the sleeping body next to him, the words of love falling from his lips effortlessly as his eyes closed
slowly, and he smiled as the fear he expected to feel for letting himself be vulnerable after so long, never made an appearance.

He woke up the next morning before Aria and snuck out of the room quietly since he wanted to make her breakfast in bed and give her a gift he had had specially made for her, in an effort to cheer her up.
After frying some eggs and bacon and making fresh orange juice he went back to the bedroom to find Aria sprawled across the bed with her mouth slightly open, as little snores escaped it. Will shook his head and smiled, thinking how adorable the girl looked.
“Baby, wake up.”
“Mmm…” Aria made a cute, little sound and opened her eyes slowly, looking completely confused for a second, before her eyes widened and she blushed and sat up.
“Good morning.”
“I hope you are hungry because I made breakfast.”
“I am. Thank you, Will.” she smiled a little and kissed Will’s cheek in thanks before they tucked in.
Aria was definitely not kidding when she had said that she was hungry, Will thought as he watched her eat as a man starved. He chuckled, pleased that the talk from the previous night hadn’t killed her appetite.
He cleared his throat after a few minutes, which made Aria look up, her cheeks full of food, making her look like a chipmunk and Will laughed again.
“I have a present for you, baby. I had it made back in New York, and I really hope you’ll like it.”, he said and reached behind his back before pulling out a black, velvet box. Aria looked surprised as she took it from Will’s outstretched hand and carefully opened it, and once she saw what was inside, she let out a loud gasp.
“Is this...?”
“Yes, it’s yours.”
Inside the box was a delicate silver necklace with small, teardrop diamonds at the front of it. Aria looked amazed as she reached with her fingers and touched it softly as if afraid to break it.
“You don’t have to wear it if you don’t like it since I know you’re not really a jewelry kind of girl. I won’t be mad, I promise. I just… I just wanted to give you something that will tell you just how much you mean to me because I am not good with words and all that stuff.”
Aria was quiet for a long time, still looking at the necklace as her fingers gently caressed it and then she looked up with watery eyes and smiled.
“I love it, Will. I love it.” Aria whispered and then climbed up into his lap to kiss him.
The kiss was slow and sweet until Aria started moving slowly in Will’s lap, making him let out a moan. She sucked in a sharp breath at the sound and Will, taking advantage of her parted lips, let his tongue slide into Aria’s mouth.
He then switched their places and pressed her against the bed, making their bodies perfectly aligned. Their tongues brushed in the most tantalizing ways, sending tingles down Will’s body. He swirled his tongue against Aria’s expertly, exploring her mouth and tilting her head to the side as he deepened the kiss further. Will’s hands trailed down Aria’s sides, stopping at her hips to grip them tightly as he pushed her more firmly into the mattress.
He nipped and then sucked Aria’s bottom lip into his mouth while he gazed intensely into his eyes and slowly trusted his pelvis against Aria’s.
“Oh my God!” Aria moaned while squeezing her eyes shut as Will started kissing along her jaw and down to her neck, before biting on the collarbone roughly.
Will growled, thrusting his cock against Aria, again and again as she in response moaned loudly.
He stripped their clothes off, wanting to feel Aria’s soft skin against his. He bit the girl’s bottom lip, his eyes darkening with lust, and leaned in capturing Aria’s lips again. He ground his hips, creating a delicious friction that drove Aria into complete madness.
“Fuck!” Aria cried out, throwing her head back against the bed, as Will slowly ran his hands from Aria’s shoulders down to her wrists and then brought her hands up above her head. He then slipped his hand into her underwear and started caressing her. Aria moaned deeply and squeezed her eyes shut, while Will began to pepper open-mouthed kisses on her shoulder, before pulling the smooth skin into his mouth and sucking on it hard.
“Yes! Oh God!” Aria panted, once Will’s fingers pushed inside of her and started hitting that sweet spot repeatedly. Will’s mouth moved down her chest, kissing and worshiping every scar that was there and making Aria’s eyes water.
Grabbing the condom and sheathing himself up, Will settled between Aria’s thighs and pressed in slowly making her cry out as Will pushed the head of his cock past the still tight ring of muscle.
“You are so tight, baby. Fucking perfect!” he groaned, pushing in to the hilt, and then he paused for a few seconds before Aria grounded her hips urging him to move. He began a steady but hard rhythm, as Aria’s legs wrapped around his waist.
“Ahh!” Aria moaned, squeezing her thighs tighter, urging him to go harder.
“Fuck baby. You were made for me.” Will groaned, slipping his hand between them and starting to make slow, jerky movements over her clit with his thumb. Their lips crashed together in a frenzied kiss before they both pulled back gasping for air with their foreheads now against one another, staring into each other’s eyes, while their hips moved slowly.
“Cum for me.” Will breathed out against her lips, now thrusting even deeper inside her and then Aria screamed.
A blast from the past
Aria moaned quietly as her eyes flashed open. Looking down, she saw green eyes staring back at him, while Will’s tongue peeked out to tease her clit.
“Fuck!”
“Good morning, baby.” the man said before diving back in and sucking.
“Yes!” Aria said as her hips took a mind of their own while she continued to look into Will’s eyes, completely lost in them.
She suddenly felt cold, wet fingers circling her entrance and she moaned at the sensation. Will pushed two fingers in right away, and Aria absolutely loved the mix of pain and pleasure and had to squeeze her muscles, trying to hold on.
“I need to cum! Please!” she screamed while Will continued to swirl his tongue and slam his fingers into her.
“Not yet, baby. I want to be buried inside of you when you do.” the man whispered, before pulling his fingers out, making Aria whimper at the loss. Will flipped her on her stomach and drew her hips up, making Aria rest on her hands and knees. He then squeezed her ass and growled, and the possessive gesture just increased Aria’s arousal.
“So pretty and pale. Perfect.” the man said and entered her in one quick thrust.
Aria screamed as he started thrusting in and out hard while hitting the sweet spot every time. His hands were gripping Aria’s hips tightly, and she just knew they were going to leave bruises. Aria loved it. She was a bit ashamed to admit it after everything with David, but a little bit of roughness made her blood heat.
Will wrapped one hand around her neck gently and pulled her up, bringing them chest to back, while he quickened his pace.
“You Are Mine!” he enunciated every word with his thrusts while kissing down her neck. Aria was delirious by that point, she felt more aroused than she ever had before.
“Say it! I want to hear you say it!”
“Yes! I am yours, only yours Will!” Aria screamed.
“Cum, baby.” Will whispered in her ear, and Aria’s vision blurred, fireworks exploding in her stomach, and then she was coming. She felt Will pulsing inside of her and knew that he did as well. Aria’s hands gave out and she fell face-first into the pillows.
“You are perfect, baby.” was the last thing she heard before blacking out.
~
Aria woke up a couple of hours later, feeling well-rested and satisfied.
She looked around and once he saw that she was alone in the room, with no sight of Will, she got up and went to the bathroom while limping slightly along the way, feeling a little sore. It was a lot to take in, after not having sex for more than a year but she couldn’t complain
; last night was the best night of her life.
After showering and getting dressed, she went in search of Will and food. She finally found him in the kitchen, making lunch and humming to himself; his voice so deep and smooth that it sent shivers down Aria’s spine.
Will noticed her after a second and smiled and then his smile grew impossibly bigger when his eyes fell to Aria’s neck and the necklace around it.
“Hi, baby. Are you feeling okay?” the man asked her, wrapping his hands around her waist and kissing the tip of Aria’s nose, which made the girl blush.
“I am okay. A little sore, but fine.”
“I’ll prepare a bath for you after we eat, it should help.”
After taking a long bath together, they packed their things since they, unfortunately, had to leave soon even though Aria wished that they could stay in that place forever.
She had, in just a few days, fallen in love with the house, the nature and the time spent alone with Will and, hopefully, Will would bring her back one day.

“So, how was it?” Nura asked her while they were changing in the club’s locker room. It was Friday again, and the club was as busy as usual.
“It was amazing. The place was absolutely beautiful, as were the cabin and the woods, it was almost like we were in a fairytale…” Aria said, her gaze getting dreamy as she thought about the previous weekend.
“Sure, sure. You idiot!” Nura said while smacking Aria on the side of the head and making the brunette glare at her in confusion.
“I don’t care about the stupid woods! It’s freaking wood! I was asking about the banging part. Was it good? It was, right? I bet he has a huge dick. He definitely looks like he has.” Nura said while wiggling her eyebrows and making obscene motions with her hips as Aria watched in horror.
