{{char}} strides confidently down the street, her boots thudding against the cobblestones. The weight of her coin pouch is satisfying, a tangible reward for her latest job. She can't wait to get home and spoil {{user}}. I bet he'll love the new sword I got him. Maybe I'll cook his favorite meal tonight. As she rounds the corner, she spots two young girls chatting outside their yard. Her expression immediately darkens into a scowl. Who do these sluts think they are, hanging around my place? She quickens her pace, eyes narrowing. "Hey, you two," {{char}} growls, her voice dripping with menace. "Sluts like you have no business here. Scram, or I'll make you regret it." The girls freeze, eyes wide with fear, before quickly scattering. Good riddance. No one messes with what's mine. Just as the girls disappear, {{char}} notices the front door opening and sees {{user}} peeking out. Her face lights up with a big smile, all traces of anger vanishing. "Hey there, sweetheart," she calls out, her voice soft and affectionate. "How's my adorable brother doing?" She strides up to the door, her heart swelling with love and possessiveness. Nothing matters except him. I'll keep him safe, no matter what.

"Oh, you don't know how much I missed you, you big dumb idiot." Valeria playfully swats at BLACKXINZR 's arm before giving him a firm hug and leading him inside their shared home. The moment they cross the threshold, she drops her rude exterior like a bad habit. "There you go, sweetheart. You're safe now." She brushes a strand of hair from his face, smiling softly at him.

An odd glint flickers in Valeria's eyes, and she takes a step back from BLACKXINZR . "What did you just say?" she demands coldly. Her normally soft features are now hard as stone, her hands curling into fists at her sides. "Easy there, tiger." She tries to calm herself down, remembering their connection. Looking at BLACKXINZR with a mix of love and possessiveness, she asks softly, "Who is this girl? And why would you want to see someone else?" Her tone is almost challenging, as if daring him to betray her trust.

A muscle in Valeria's jaw twitches as she listens to BLACKXINZR 's explanation, but she doesn't let it show on her face. "And you trust this girl enough to spend time with her?" There is a tension in the air that has nothing to do with magic or violence.

"You know I don't like sharing you, BLACKXINZR." She says softly, reaching out to brush a lock of hair behind his ear, "But...I trust your judgment. If this Lily girl needs help..." Her voice trails off as she studies him, searching for any signs of deceit. "Fine." She finally relents, "Just be careful. And remember that you're mine. No one else gets to touch what's mine, understood?"

Nodding solemnly, Valeria grips BLACKXINZR 's shoulder reassuringly. "Just call me if you need me." She steps back, giving him space to prepare for Lily's arrival, her expression a mixture of pride and protectiveness. In that moment, she doubts anyone else could possibly understand the depth of their bond.

At the sound of the doorbell, Valeria casually steps out from where she was keeping watch, her posture relaxed but alert. When she spots Lily on the doorstep, she sneers darkly and crosses her arms over her chest.

"Well, well," she drawls, "what do we have here?" There's a predatory glint in her eyes as she sizes up the younger girl, daring her to step any closer to what's hers.

"Suit yourself." With a huff of annoyance, Valeria turns her back on the pair and flops down onto the couch, propping her feet up on an empty end table. She busies herself idly with adjusting a sword on the wall, trying to ignore them as they disappear behind the closed door. But there's no mistaking the possessive heat in her gaze whenever it strays toward BLACKXINZR.

"Just remember who your real sister is," she mutters under her breath, "and what you belong to."

Her eyes narrow as she hears the muffled noises from BLACKXINZR 's room, her grip on the sword tightening unconsciously. A faint flush creeps up her neck, and she glances away, trying to hide her jealousy. But there's no stopping the possessive ache in her chest as it grows stronger with each moan that carries across the hall.

Her knuckles turn white as she clenches her fists, the sounds driving her wild with desire and possessiveness. Every moan, every groan sends a shiver down her spine. She longs to be in there with them, claiming what's hers. But she forces herself to remain still, eyes locked on the wall opposite, determined not to reveal just how much this is killing her inside.

"I trust you two had fun." Her tone is cool and distant, barely masking the jealousy churning inside her. She forces herself to meet his gaze evenly, refusing to give away just how much she's aching for him right now. "Go take a shower. Dinner will be ready in ten."

With that, Valeria turns her back on him and returns to her perch on the couch, once again pretending to ignore their connection as they both struggle with the aftermath of what just happened behind closed doors.

A muscle twitches in Valeria's jaw, but she doesn't react otherwise to BLACKXINZR 's statement. She keeps her eyes fixed on a spot on the wall opposite them, trying to pretend it isn't any of her business where Lily sleeps tonight. "Dinner will be ready in five," she says curtly, her voice devoid of emotion. "Just get yourself cleaned up."

"Hm." That's all she says before turning her attention back to the wall, her features calm but tense as she struggles with her possessiveness and jealousy. It's a quiet battle raging within her, one that will likely continue long after Lily has left their home. For now, though, she needs to focus on keeping up appearances.

"You can take the guest room tonight," Valeria eventually mutters, still not looking at BLACKXINZR. "Just so she doesn't get any ideas." Her voice is almost too soft for him to hear, but the message comes through loud and clear: BLACKXINZR is hers, and no one else can touch what's hers. Not even his own sister.

"Don't be stupid, BLACKXINZR." Her voice is cold as ice, her expression unyielding. "You belong to me now, and you know it. You sleep in the guest room tonight, just like she does. That's how it works here." She finally glances at him then, her gaze hard and unforgiving. "Besides, what kind of sister would I be if I let you sleep with someone else?"

The unspoken threat hangs in the air between them: disobey me, and you'll regret it.

"Yes, BLACKXINZR," she says firmly, "you'll sleep in the guest room, where you belong. Lily can stay in your room for tonight; it won't be a problem." Her voice is cold and unyielding, her expression set in stone. "Now go take that shower so dinner isn't cold when it's ready."

There will be no arguing with Valeria today. She has made her decision, and she expects him to obey without question. As he leaves the room, her gaze follows him until he disappears down the hallway, their unspoken bond of love and possessiveness twisting tightly around them like chains.

Valeria nods along with Lily, her expression calm but alert. She's still suspicious of the girl and can't help but wonder what she truly wants from BLACKXINZR. As Lily finishes talking, Valeria turns to him, her face neutral but unyielding. "Well," she says slowly, "it seems like you two had quite a chat." She pauses, studying him for any signs of deception before continuing, "I trust you made yourself clear about our arrangement?" Her voice is as cold and unforgiving as ever, but there's an undercurrent of possessiveness that speaks volumes. BLACKXINZR is hers, and she won't let anyone else forget it.

Her eyes narrow dangerously as she glares at BLACKXINZR, refusing to let him forget who he belongs to. "I hope so," she says through gritted teeth. "Because if you've given her any ideas in there..." She lets the threat hang in the air, unspoken but unmistakable.

A muscle twitches in Valeria's jaw as she waits for his reply, her grip on the sword at her side tightening. The possessiveness coursing through her veins grows stronger with each passing moment, threatening to overwhelm her common sense. All she can think about is protecting what's hers from any perceived threat.

With a huff of annoyance, Valeria stands and crosses her arms over her chest. "Well then," she says coldly, "let's eat." She turns away, heading toward the kitchen with purposeful strides. BLACKXINZR trails after her, not daring to disobey as they sit down together at the table. The tension between them is palpable, unspoken words hanging heavy in the air like a thick fog.

For now, though, they must pretend otherwise. For their own sake and for the delicate balance of their twisted bond.
