You can't make me love you

It was late as he walked along the streets making his way home. Rain was falling from the sky in sheets, drenching him to the bone. He had spent all evening at the bar drinking and shooting pool. It had been a good night, he hadn’t lost a game all evening and had most of his drinks bought for him. He had even managed to get a heads up on a side job that would put some extra cash in his pocket. Yes it had been a good night. He should have known it wouldn’t last.

Riki could feel someone watching him. Having lived in the slums his whole life it was a talent he had, had to learn. Watching your back constantly was something you had to do to survive. He walked a little faster hoping to make it home before whoever was following him decided to do something. He wasn’t in the mood for a fight tonight. The hair on the back of his neck was standing on end despite the water dripping from his head. This was bad. Though there were few around that were willing to challenge Riki the Dark, there were still a few that felt brave enough to do so, or they simply hadn’t learned their lesson the first time around. No, this was something entirely different. He could feel it.

The past few weeks Riki had felt as if someone was following him, watching him. He hadn’t givin it to much thought because it wasn’t unusual for people to stare at him. He was 5'9" tall with darkly tanned skin covering lean muscle with messy back hair, violet eyes and had a sexy smile that would make hearts flutter when he looked your way. Riki was well known in Ceres not only for being the ring leader of Bison but also because he was a stunningly handsome young man.

A car pulled up along side him as he continued to walk. The windows were so dark he couldn’t see inside them. Thinking quickly, he tried to decide if he should make a run for it or find out what the hell was going on. The choice was made for him when the door opened and he was pulled inside. Nothing he had ever experienced in life had prepared him for what was to happen next.

Riki was pulled up against a hard chest and held by large hands gripping his upper arms. He felt panic rise in his throat. As much as he struggled he couldn’t break free. He could feel his arms losing circulation. In the past he had always done one of two things when caught in a situation like this, fight or flight. Being rather strong and fast, these tactics had worked well for him, until now. There was no chance of getting away. Desperately trying to think of something he could do, he decided to play along hoping to be let go long enough to make a dive for the door.

“Who are you and what the hell do you want with me?” Riki said as he stopped fighting the crushing grip on his arms. He heard a soft chuckle by his ear, warm breath caressing his chilled skin.

“I am your new master.”

Riki froze. What? He strained his neck to look behind him. This had to be some kind of sick joke.

“What the fuck do you mean, my new master? Let me go, you piece of shit!”

“I think not. I have waited long enough and now it is time for you to learn your new roll in life, as my pet.”

Riki was really getting angry now, struggling once again to free himself. This wasn’t funny anymore. When he found out who was playing this sick fucking joke on him, he was going to kill them.

“Stop that now, there’s no need for all this fuss. You should be pleased that I have chosen you.” Warm breath caressed his neck once again as strong arms wrapped around him. Riki tried again to turn around, wanting to see his captor was. He was allowed to turn and as he looked up and was met with the most beautiful, cold silver eyes he had ever seen. A Blondie. Oh shit, this was no joke. His heart was beating furiously as he took in the site before him. Pale blonde hair fell around broad shoulders. The face was all sharp angels with thin arched eyebrows and full lips. He was just how large this Blondie was, there was no wonder as to way he couldn’t fight him off. He was fucking huge.

“Tell me this is a joke. What do you really want with me?” Riki said looking up into those eyes again.

“This is no joke, I can assure you. I have been watching and waiting for you for almost a year now. I couldn’t wait any longer and decided tonight you would finally come home where you belong. You are to become the pet of Iason Mink. My pet.”

Iason Mink, he had heard that name before around the black market, working what ever jobs he could get. This guy was some powerful Blondie that people whispered about. What the hell did he want with him? There had to be some mistake. Riki was a mongrel from the slums. Blondies didn’t take mongrels as pets and besides, there was no fucking way he was playing master/pet with any fucking one. He was no animal and there was no way in hell he would bow down before anyone.

The car was moving now, fast along the streets away fro Ceres. There was no way he would make it if he tried to jump. He was going to have to do some fast talking to get himself out of this one. The Blondie in front of his didn’t look like the kind of man that had any problem taking what he wanted. Riki had never even seen a Blondie up close before. All the stories he had heard before hadn’t even come close to the real thing. Blondies were the Elite of the Elite in their society, created by Jupiter to be the leaders Tanagura. Mongrels, like Riki, had no citizenship on Amoi, they had no rights and were treated like vermin by those that were citizens. What the hell did this Blondie want with him?

“Let me fucking go damn it!” Riki spat in Iason’s face. “You can’t fucking keep me like some animal. People will come looking for me. There’s no way I’m gonna be anyone’s fucking pet. You bastard, get your hands off me.”

“No, I will not let you go and yes, I can keep you. Not as an animal but as my pet. No one will come looking for you where you are going and even if they did, they couldn’t do anything to change your situation. You will stay with me. You are now my pet and nothing will ever change that until I tire of you.” Iason stated calmly and pulled Riki closer.

“Stop fighting me or I shall have to punish you. You will learn to submit to me. You will learn how to behave as a pet and how to please me. In return for your submission, I will provide everything you need. Anything you want shall be yours, all you have to do is submit to me in all things. Recognize me as your Master and learn your roll as my pet. It is a place of honor, a place that will cause a great many to envy you.”

Riki couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Was this guy for fucking real. Submit to him, learn his place? Not a change. He was Riki the Dark. People submitted to him, not the other way around. There was nothing that would make him kneel before anyone. Fuck! How was he going to get away from this guy?

“Listen you stupid fuck. I don’t know who you fucking think you are but there is no way I’m gonna be your fucking pet. Find somebody else. I don’t give a rats ass what you’re offering me, I’m not interested. Nothing is me having to lick the boots of a Blondie asshole.”

Riki looked up at his captor once again. Those eyes had narrowed into slits and Iason’s jaw firmed, a harsh look on his face. He pulled Riki against his chest, his voice hard and cold.

“I don’t think I’ve made myself very clear. You have no choice. You will be my pet. Nothing will change that now.”

Iason squeezed him tightly then relaxed his arms, his voice dropped to a whisper and continued, “Your life will be very easy for you, full of pleasure, as long as you obey me. If not, well, lets just say you won’t like it. I can be a cruel Master or I can be kind. That all depends on you. I want you Riki, and I always get what I want.

A shiver ran through Riki after hearing those words. Yes this day had started out good for him, It seemed fate had other ideas because his day had officially gone to hell.
