“Genesys, are you listening? Honestly child. If you weren’t so conditioned I’d remove you from the class altogether. How someone as lazy as you could get here is beyond me.” Madam Vera reprimands me and I stay quiet as she does. My mind’s wandering more than usual and even though I can complete the simple routine for the opening recital with my eyes closed, apparently she has an issue with my emotions or lack thereof.
“I’m sorry Madam. I’ll do better.” I reply when she finishes her speech.
“Child, I don’t know what it’ll take to light a fire in you. But whatever it is, find it and keep hold of it.” She rolls her eyes and walks away.
I know exactly what or rather who it is. The only person to light a fire in me doesn’t want me anymore.

The classical music blares through the speakers in the large auditorium and I prance around the stage as everyone stares at me in mesmerization. We’re performing Lilac Fairy and though it’s not a difficult piece most of the story should come through the dancers’ emotions. It’s not, I’m flat and I know it.
Every time I look to the side stage I see Madam Vera and she just looks more upset. If she could pull me right now she probably would. I think she should. I’m no good like this.
I just want to be his.
Savage.
I stop in the middle of a number as my eyes focus on one particular face towards the back of the crowd. A thick beard covers a face of scars, perfect lips with the cutest cupid’s bow, and eyes so dark they penetrate my soul. Savage is here. He’s here.
“Dance for me whore.” He says slowly, so I can read his lips and it feels like the sky explodes with color. I spin and add in an odette just to give some flare to the dance and mask that I’d messed up before I join back with the rest of my classmates. The passion pours out of me in buckets now that I’m dancing for him. I find his eyes at every chance I get and the rest of the audience notices the change. The hushed appreciation becomes louder until at the end the applause is deafening and they are calling for an encore. I barely curtsey when I look over to see Savage standing smiling wide and clapping hard for me.
My nerves feel like a jumble of bees fighting in my gut as I rush off stage, so I can get to him. I’m rushed by the crowd. All of them telling me how great I am, but they aren’t who I want to be saying it. I crane my neck and look back towards his seat, but Savage is gone. It doesn’t look like anyone has been there. Did I imagine it? Am I that broken that I’m imaging him now?
Tears cloud my vision as I turn and run backstage. This has got to be the worst punishment I’ve ever received and I know it’s never going to end. The memory that is Damon Savage and what he is to me will be with me forever, even if it drives me insane.

I hide in the bathrooms until most everyone leaves. My heart is hollow and the empty space hurts. No matter how hard I try I can’t stop crying. Finally when I’m so dehydrated no more tears come out I get myself together and go home. I don’t even bother to talk to any of the other dancers. I probably won’t see any of them again. I just want to sleep.
The cab ride home is quick and quiet. I trudge up to my apartment and even though I know Alexis will open the door, I can’t even force myself to fake it with her. We’re not as close as we once were.
I pull my key out and press it to the lock, but before I can slide it in, the door creeps open. My lock is broken?
Fuck, exactly what I need. Someone had robbed me.
I huff and take a slow step inside in case the culprit is still here.
My breath catches and my eyes go wide. Savage is sitting in my living room staring at his pocket watch.
“I’ve been here a long time.” His voice grabs me like a hook and pulls me forward until I’m closer to him.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry Savage,” I whimper as I stand right in front of him.
He pins me with his glare until he flicks his hand out and pulls me so I’m sitting in his lap. His cock’s hard and long pressing against my pulsing needy slit. My leotard is protecting me from nothing.
“You were absolutely sensational tonight Genesys, everyone thought so. Is that what you want, their approval?”
“No, only yours. I don’t care about anyone else’s approval.” I answer quickly.
“I believe you.” He pushes his hand up to my hair and pulls out the pins to release my bun. My hair falls down to my back. “I think I may have sent you away too soon, there’s still quite a bit of training for you. If you think you can handle it … If you want it.” His eyes lock onto mine and I see the vulnerability in them. He’s reaching for me, all I have to do is take him.
“I want it. I want you. I need you Damon Savage, only you.”
A breathtaking smile curls on his face as he slides his fingers into my hair and yanks my head down hard enough for me to hiss out in pain.
“I need you more, Genesys. Such a perfect little whore.” His mouth presses against mine and I lose myself in this new world where after being trained and broken by a beast, I had come out wanting so much more.
THE END
