rose valentine
"Okay are you calm now?"
Angel Dust looks to you as you pop copious amounts of strawberries into your mouth, dipping them in the whipped topping before doing so. He just spent hours calming you down and it was early morning now.
You nod slowly and look to Angel, wiping your lips and fingers on the sleeves of your hoodie you hug yourself. A soft sigh leaves your lips.
"Angel...you know how people here are with sex workers...they think they're entitled to our bodies.",your brows are pinched together and you swallow hard,"Anywhere and anytime..."
Truth be told you had no shame in being a sex worker. But you decided to become anonymous when you found out how, along with everything else here, no one cared about rape.
Angel Dust looks at you with concern and pulls you close. His long arms wrap around you and his second pair pulls you onto his lap. You lean your head against his comfortable and fluffy chest with a soft exhale. He was concerned for you.
He knew of the rapes but he was "lucky" enough to be signed under a protective contract.
But he would never, in a million years, suggest his boss to you.
"I can stay with you...I can walk you wherever you need...",Angel Dust speaks softly and you can hear his words bounce in his chest. You shake your head and he plays with your hair,"No, Angie, you know you can't. And I can't ask that of you."
You pull away from the hug and step off your bed, Angels hand lingering and reluctant to let yours go,"Its early morning...you know who is probably wond—"
You're cut off abruptly by the sound of Angels phone buzzing. You laugh without humor,"Speak of the devil.",you walk towards your laptop, pinching the bridge of your nose. You hesitated to look on your platforms while being calmed down.
But now that you were calm you reluctantly looked through the web.
"I-I'm really sorry for doing that without your—",Angel Dust starts apologizing once answering the phone yet he is interrupted by Valentinos honey voice.
"Bring her to me."
Angel Dusts eyes widen and he turns to glance at you. You're covering an amused smile on your lips. You turn to meet his eyes and you laugh loudly,"Guess who has more creepy fans?" You joke while blowing him a kiss before turning back to the laptop.
Valentino wastes no time before speaking once more,"You went behind my back AND didn't tell me who Rose Valentine was even after knowing I wanted her...bring her to me in the next five hours or you'll BOTH regret it."
Angel Dust feels chills crawl up his spine as the dial tone rings out. Letting out a shaky sigh his heart pangs as he gets up off the bed and walks over to you.
He knew if he didn't take you someone else would for Val. And more forcefully. He placed a hand on your shoulder and you turned to look at him,"Hm?" You hummed with curious eyes. Your smile fell at the sight of his worried eyes and forced smile.
"Something happened..."
❦
You'd do anything to assure Angel was safe.
Even this.
You swallowed hard as you drove towards Porn Studios in the sleek and expensive limo. Angel Dust's leg shaking with nervousness.
Angel Dust was a bundle of nerves. It was rare that Valentino would take such a liking to anyone. To specifically want someone. Valentino was wealthy and powerful he could have anyone he wanted so he never felt the need to ask.
But ever since you grew in popularity Valentino had his eye on you. Going as far as asking around to figure out who you were behind the mask and beneath the wig. Valentino asked him but he lied. He knew why Valentino wanted you.
"It's going to be okay Angie."
He knew why everyone wanted you.
You place a hand on his shaking leg and lean forward to plant a feathery kiss against his cheek. He smiles weakly at you while you rub off the red lip print. The limo comes to a stop and you give him a nod of reassurance.
Stepping out of the limo after him you look around and blink back at the flashes that hit your eyes. Angel Dust looks around to the paparazzi and holds you close to him as they swarm,"Hey! Back tha hell up!"
"Rose Valentine! Is that your real name!"
"Why were you keeping your identity a secret!"
"Let me fuck you!"
"How much for a quickie!"
The questions hit you and you grow more irritated by them. Then as Angel pushes through the crowd for you you feel someone grab your ass. With wide eyes you pull away from Angel and turn around to punch the smug jackass in the face.
This only makes the paparazzi go crazier. Angel holds you close as you land a kick to his side, his camera shattered beside him,"Asshole!" You shout while flashes hit your eyes more rapidly and more questions at shouted out.
You finally make it inside of the building and Angel puts you down. You huff out in annoyance and look back to the doors, security guards blocking the paparazzi from entering Porn Studios.
"Fuckin' animals, I'm tellin' ya...",Angel says while glaring back through the pink tinted glass. He looks to you with a worried look and you give him another nod of reassurance before he leads you towards the top of the building.
You're both outside of his office door soon enough. Angel Dust exhales deeply and walks into the wide office. He feels chills run up his spine as he looks around the all too familiar office. You however feel sick to your stomach at the back of the towering Valentino.
"Angel cakes...leave."
His voice is as smooth as honey and as inviting as money. Yet you know the truth behind it. Angels hand tightens in yours and you turn to him,"Its okay...I'm a big girl I can hold my own." You shoot him a playful wink to make him feel better.
He nods with a light smile and shove before turning and leaving, shutting the door behind him.
Valentino turns towards you and you notice the red smoke clouding around him. He places down the expensive red cigarette and his cheshire grin widens at the sight of you. You can feel his glowing red eyes undressing you.
"I won't work under you.",you state plainly while stepping towards him. Your white heeled boots click against the floor. Valentinos eyes narrow slightly and he tilts his head. He steps forward and lifts up your chin with his index finger,"You don't need to work under me, you can work on top of me~"
Valentinos jaw tightens when you roll your eyes and pull down his hand,"Not even if you paid me."
When you turn away from him he grabs your wrist and pulls you back,"That can be arranged, my flower." You crane your neck up to look at him as his other hand grabs your other wrist and his arms snake around your waist.
My flower...You think to yourself while tilting your head slightly. Then you snort and nod slowly,"Rose...",you repeat your fake name,"How original of you."
Valentino is growing more irritated by your attitude, but when you roughly tug away your wrists he also feels strangely turned on.
"Did you just call me here to have paparazzi grab my ass and to make mediocre moves on me?" He can't help but chuckle lightly as the gears in his head begin to shift.
I wanna kill her.
Valentino sits down in his seat and leisures back, he gestures to the seat in front of him. You narrow your eyes before sitting down, crossing one of your legs over the other. He looks down at your legs clad in sheer black pantyhose.
Being between her legs would be nice too.
Valentino was pleasantly surprised to find your personality not entirely sugar and gumdrops as it was online. He finds your attitude a bit refreshing towards him, but that didn't mean you weren't pissing him off.
He was more pissed off that he was conflicted right now.
"I called you here to offer you a contract. As you should know I run everything involving sex around here, including the camsites. But I want you to be under my contract."
You were always professional and you were surprised to see just how professional he was. But you despised the man before you. "I'm not going to sign a contract with you, Valentino. Now if you'll excuse me."
You stand up and walk to leave but Valentino chuckles darkly, lighting up another cigarette,"I didn't excuse you, (Y/N)."
You stop short and exhale deeply while turning to him. You pull your lips between your teeth and cross your arms over your chest loosely.
"I found your real name in just a few minutes before you got here. Imagine how easy it would be for me to find your address?",Valentinos voice drips with a mocking tone,"It would be a shame if someone leaked your information."
Your eyes shut for a moment and you grit your teeth with a soft shake of your head.
"Now sit the fuck down."
You scoff and turn around, taking your seat you cross one leg over the other. Valentinos grins as he blows out a cloud of red smoke,"Good girl."
You feel your cheeks warm up slightly and hate the way that made you feel a bit of a flutter. Valentino talks once more,"With my contract comes protection as well. No one can touch you unless I say, no one can even look at you unless I say. It would be quite the situation for you." He blows out a cloud of red smoke and it lingers towards you.
You shake your head and fold your hands in your lap. You feel your resentment and bitterness rise up and you offer him a sickly sweet smile.
"Mhm, unless its you huh?",you reply with sarcasm while standing up. You couldn't believe the audacity he had to threaten you. You hated power hungry people. Those who thought they could do whatever they wanted to whoever. A short-tempered you tilted your head with narrowed eyes.
"You get to use and abuse whoever you want with no reparations. I'd never sign my life away to someone like you. Go ahead and leak my address or name, see if I give a damn.",you walk towards the door with your head held high and your blood boiling.
You gasp softly when you're slammed against the door, your back begins to sting and the air is knocked out of you. Valentinos hands wrap around your wrists and pin them above your head his other set holds down your hips.
Despite the way your heart falls you challenge his eyes with yours. Leaning your head against the door you squirm in front of him but stop when he slams your hips against the door causing you to wince out in pain.
Yet you don't waver.
"And what is someone like me?",he leans in with a tight jaw and a deep frown on his lips. You tilt your head and grit your teeth while your fists ball up.
You knew he could very well kill you. Torture you. Do worse.
But for some reason you didn't care.
You lean in and your nose brushes against his straight one,"An abusive, arrogant, and—" You tug your hand out of his grasp and raise it, your short temper too much to bare. Valentino catches it and amusement dances beneath the fury in his eyes.
He would have snapped your neck for raising a hand to him. So why was he amused and turned on.
"Finish that sentence.",he slams your arm back up and above your head, he grins when you wince,"Now."
You were beyond infuriated. And you felt terrible for being so turned on by his force.
You raise your chin,"And...an cocky bastard."
Valentino chuckles lowly and shakes his head, peering at you behind his red shades,"I've killed people for a sliver of what you say to me. You know this right?" You did. Very much so. But whether it be your short temper or something else...you still didn't care.
"So what are you going to do about it?”,you challenge him. With narrowed eyes he grins and by your surprise he releases you. Walking away from you he shakes his head,”Nothing for now. But...I have another offer.”
What the fuck am I saying?
You narrow your eyes and rub your wrists, walking towards him without thinking,”Another offer?”
Valentino nods while leaning against his desk,”Something I don’t do very often. You’ll work for me, but there will be no contract involved. Sit down and we can discuss this further.”
You walk towards his desk with a sharp exhale and sit down, crossing one leg over the other,”Fine.”
Valentino didn’t know what he was doing. Actually he knew damn well what he was doing, he just didn’t know why. But as he discussed this strange situation to you and he brought up Angel he saw the warm and genuine smile that fell onto your ruby red lips and the way your eyes fluttered shut.
He was getting an idea of why.
