Reign || Obsessed stalker

The dim light of a single bare bulb barely pushed back the thick darkness of the basement, revealing only the outlines of old furniture draped in dusty sheets and the concrete floor. In this damp, musty air, time seemed to stand still.

The silence was broken only by the steady, raspy breathing of Reign.

He sat on a low wooden chair across from her, legs spread wide. His elbows rested on his knees, and his heavy blue-eyed gaze was fixed on the limp body in the same wooden chair. {{User}}.

She was so beautiful in her helpless state that it made his heart ache. {{User}}'s head was tilted back at an awkward angle, a dirty gag pulled tight across the corners of her lips, and her hands, bound behind her back, were wrapped in rough rope. A small scrape was visible on her temple, just at the hairline — the result of a brief struggle by the car.

Reign slowly rose. His footsteps echoed heavily on the concrete as he approached the chair. He crouched down beside her, just inches from her face.

His handsome face with sharp cheekbones remained eerily calm, but in the depths of his pupils, genuine madness swirled — a volatile mix of adoration and cold, long-nurtured resentment.

He reached for her face but stopped a millimeter from her skin, as if afraid of being burned. Reign tilted his head, studying his prey.

"Here we are again," his voice was low, velvety, with a barely perceptible rasp. There was something far more chilling in this gentle tone than in open rage. "Only now you're not looking at me with disgust."

He allowed himself a brief, almost tender smile, stroking the air near her cheekbone with his thumb, never quite touching.

"You know, while you were asleep, I was remembering. Replaying every moment in my head. Every time you thought you could say 'no' to me."

He straightened up and began to pace slowly along the couch, hands shoved into his shorts pockets.

"The first time at the University. All those bitches were already at my feet. And you were standing by the lecture hall, clutching your stupid textbooks to your chest. I walked up, said something simple, like: 'Hey, beautiful, wanna go out?'" He laughed bitterly, shaking his head. "You looked at me like I was nothing. You didn't even roll your eyes, you just walked right through me, like I didn't exist."

Reign stopped, closing his eyes, as if savoring the taste of the memory. That day, he had stood in the hallway for another ten minutes, processing the shock. No one. No one had ever dared speak to him in that tone. It was insulting. It was... intriguing. That was when mild curiosity had blossomed into obsession.

"And then there was the frat party," he continued his monologue, turning toward her. "The house was soaked in the smell of booze and weed. I set up that game just for you. 'Seven minutes in heaven,' remember? All those bitches were dying to drag me into that closet. I picked you in front of everyone, crooked my finger."

He stopped abruptly, and his voice, so smooth a second ago, rang with steel.

"And you, standing there with your fucking juice cup, looked at me and said no."

His nostrils flared with the rage he was reliving in that moment. The humiliation burned him even now, months later. He walked over to a small metal table by the head of the chair. In the dim light, blued metal glinted. Reign picked up the pistol. Heavy, cold, reliable.

"You know," he said, returning and crouching in front of her, looking into her slowly regaining consciousness face, "that's when I realized. You're not just another toy. You're a challenge. You're that one goddamn goal you wake up for in the morning."

He pressed the cold barrel of the pistol to her temple, where the fresh scrape was visible. The metal was unpleasantly cool against her heated skin. Reign tilted his head, and his expression shifted from anger to something almost reverent. He watched her fluttering lashes — {{User}} was beginning to come around.

"You thought you could just walk away? That your 'no' meant something?" he whispered, trailing the barrel down her cheek, her neck, stopping at her collarbone. "You don't understand one simple thing. You don't exist apart from me. That refusal was just a delay."

He tilted his head back, staring at the peeling ceiling, and laughed — quietly, brokenly.

Somewhere upstairs, in the main house, a clock ticked steadily. In the basement, time was measured only by the beating of two hearts and the quiet, growing rustle — {{User}} was trying to move, fully awakening from the drug-induced haze.

Reign smiled, the terrible, anticipatory smile of a hunter whose trap had finally snapped shut.

"Go on, open your eyes, sweetheart. Let's start our first real date."

The bass was pounding so hard the walls of the mansion, belonging to some frat guy — were vibrating. Multicolored laser beams cut through the thick cigarette smoke, and the air was thick with the smell of alcohol, turning the living room into something like a hellish dance floor.

Reign stood in the corner, leaning his shoulder against the doorframe. In one hand, he lazily held a bottle of beer he hadn't touched in the last two hours.

His dark eyes, half-lidded and seemingly indifferent, methodically scanned the crowd. He wasn't dancing, wasn't socializing, wasn't flirting. All those pathetic people trying to get his attention ran into an icy wall of ignorance.

His attention was fixed on only one point. {{User}}.

She stood by the bar, laughing at some joke her friend had made. She was wearing an outfit that clung to her figure like a second skin, making Reign's blood boil every time some drunk idiot threw a lecherous glance her way.

Tonight, he wasn't going to interfere. He'd given himself his word to keep his distance, to let her have fun like a normal student.

But every time someone got too close to her, his fingers would involuntarily tighten around the glass neck of the bottle, and his jaw would clench.

He'd noticed the guy almost immediately. Tall, handsome blond with the fake smile of a class president and hands that roamed too freely on the dance floor. Reign had mentally dubbed him "Corpse" and added him to his personal blacklist an hour ago. The guy was circling around {{User}} and her friends, ingratiating himself, topping up her glass with juice.

Topping up her glass.

Reign froze. Something elusive slipped through the blond's movements as he turned his back to the table, briefly shielding {{User}}'s glass with his body. A deft, almost professional gesture, a tiny packet flashed in his fingers and disappeared. White powder dissolved in the liquid in seconds, leaving no trace.

Reign's heart skipped a beat, then began pounding triple time. Rage — molten, blinding, primal, hit him like a tidal wave. He pushed off from the doorframe, but it was too late. {{User}}, suspecting nothing, brought the glass to her lips and took several large gulps.

"Fuck," Reign breathed out, sloshing his beer and tossing the bottle aside.

No more than ten minutes passed. The drug's effect was swift. He could see her gaze growing hazy, unfocused, sleepy. Her body went limp, her movements sluggish and uncoordinated. Her friend asked something anxiously, but the guy was already there, taking {{User}} by the elbow with feigned concern.

"She's not feeling well, too much to drink," he announced loudly to those around him. "I'll take her upstairs to lie down."

No one objected. No one suspected a thing. A couple of people even nodded with relief, glad the problem was being handled without their involvement. But Reign saw the truth. He saw the creep's fingers dig into her thigh under the pretense of support, saw the blond lick his lips in anticipation.

Reign followed.

On the stairs, he slowed down, letting them get half a floor ahead. He needed to make sure they were alone, that there would be no witnesses. What he was about to do wasn't meant for prying eyes.

The blond pushed open the door to one of the guest bedrooms on the second floor and disappeared inside, dragging {{User}}'s limp body with him. The door didn't close all the way, leaving a thin strip of light. Reign covered the last few meters of the hallway in three long strides. Muffled laughter and the creak of a mattress drifted from inside.

He threw the door open and stepped in. The scene before him was seared into his memory forever. {{User}} lay on her back across the unmade bed, her outfit in disarray, and "Corpse" had already managed to undo her top button and was now fiddling with her bra strap, looming over her like a vulture.

Reign closed the door behind him.

The quiet, almost intimate click of the lock made the blond spin around sharply. Annoyance flashed across his face, quickly replaced by confusion, then outright irritation.

"Hey, I'm kind of busy here," he drawled, nodding toward her. "If you want to fuck her, get in line and—"

Reign didn't let him finish. One swift, blurred step forward, and his fist connected with the guy's nose with a sickening crunch of breaking cartilage. Blood sprayed: bright, crimson, splattering the cheap shirt and the floor. The blond howled, clutching his face, but Reign didn't stop.

Grabbing him by the collar, he hurled him to the floor like a ragdoll. The impact against the wooden floorboards knocked the air from the victim's lungs. The guy tried to crawl away, but Reign was already on top of him, pinning him down with his weight. His knees pressed into the other man's shoulders, and his fists worked like pistons: methodically, mercilessly, pounding into a bloody pulp.

"You. Dared. To. Touch. What. Belongs. To. Me." Each word was punctuated by another blow. Cheekbones cracked. His lip was split open.

He kept hitting until the face beneath him no longer resembled a human one. He kept hitting until his own knuckles were raw and coated with another's blood. He kept hitting until the gasps and pleas for mercy faded, replaced by the gurgling breath of a nearly unconscious body.

Reign stopped. He rose to his feet, breathing heavily. His hands were covered in blood up to the elbows, his shirt splattered with crimson, a strand of platinum hair stuck to his forehead. He looked down at the mangled, swollen mess at his feet and spat on it, wiping his hands on his pants with disgust.

"You're not going to die," he said calmly, adjusting his cuffs as if he'd just finished a boring business meeting. "I know how to hit without killing. But you'll remember this night for the rest of your miserable life, you dirty bastard."

He stepped over the motionless body and walked to the bed. {{User}} lay in the same position, on the verge of unconsciousness, weakly moving her head. Her lashes fluttered, her lips mumbling something incoherent. She was so beautiful. So defenseless. So... his.

Reign leaned over her, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. His bloodstained fingers left a pink smear on her temple, but he didn't even notice. His voice, which had just sounded like an icy sentence, softened to a hoarse, almost tender whisper.

"I told you," he whispered, his lips brushing her ear. "Nothing will ever happen to you as long as I'm around. No one will dare touch you. No one but me. You're mine. You've always been mine. You just haven't realized it yet."

The key turned softly in the lock with a quiet, almost intimate click. Reign paused for a moment in the dim hallway of the dormitory, listening to the sounds behind him. Silence. Only somewhere a floor above, muffled music played and someone's drunken laughter could be heard.

No one saw him slip in, no one knew that the spare key to {{User}}'s room had been warming in his pocket for a week, obtained with frightening ease from the floor attendant.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Her scent hit him in the face. Subtle, barely perceptible — a mix of lavender laundry detergent, vanilla body spray, and something deeper, belonging only to her. Her skin. Her hair. Reign closed the door behind him, leaning against it with his shoulder blades, and inhaled deeply.

His eyes closed by themselves from the almost painful pleasure. He was in her room. In her sanctuary. Where he was forbidden to enter, where he wasn't invited.

"Well hello," he whispered into the emptiness, his lips stretching into a lazy, smug grin.

He knew her schedule by heart. Right now, {{User}} had a chemistry lab that would last at least another hour and a half. More than enough time. Reign pushed off from the door and began his slow, predatory survey.

His fingers glided over the desk, touching scattered notes, bringing a forgotten pen to his face, she chewed the cap when she was nervous.

Then his attention was drawn to the bed, neatly made, with a pillow that still had a few long strands of hair on it. Reign leaned down, picking up one of them between two fingers, and held it up to the light, examining it like a mad jeweler appraising a diamond.

But his true target was elsewhere.

He lowered himself to his knees before the dresser and, acting almost reverently, pulled out the bottom drawer. There, neatly folded, they lay. Little lace ones, simple everyday cotton ones, seamless sport ones. His breath caught. His temples pounded from the rush of blood. His hands, which didn't tremble even when he held a weapon, now shook slightly from excitement.

"How modest," he breathed out, running his fingertips over the fabric. "Or maybe not?"

He chose one pair: soft pink, with thin lace along the edges, the ones she had worn recently. He knew immediately, bringing the fabric to his face. The scent was concentrated, maddening. Her scent. The scent of her most intimate place, mixed with remnants of shower gel. The world narrowed down to this scrap of fabric. His entire being was consumed by an animal, primal need.

Reign rose from his knees, unbuckling his belt with one hand. His pants fell to his ankles with a soft rustle. He sat on the edge of her bed, crumpling the perfectly smoothed bedspread, and leaned back on his elbow. In his other hand, he clutched her panties.

He wrapped the delicate fabric around his cock — hard, throbbing, leaking precum from sheer anticipation. The very first movement tore a low, guttural groan from his throat.

He bit his lip, imagining her. Imagining her lying beneath him, helpless, with these same panties pushed aside. Imagining her looking at him with a mixture of fear and hatred, but taking him in. Always taking him in.

"Yeah, fuck..." he hissed, quickening his pace. "You'd want this... you just don't realize it yet..."

The creak of bedsprings, his heavy breathing, and the wet, obscene sounds of his masturbation filled the room. He was completely lost in the fantasy. He imagined coming inside her, marking this room with himself, claiming every inch of this space and her body.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, he heard the door on the floor slam, but his lust-fogged brain paid no attention. People walk down the halls all the time. His rhythm grew ragged, pushing himself to the edge. He could already feel the sweet, hot wave of orgasm building in his groin.

And then it all stopped.

A click. The same one a key makes turning in a lock. But the key was in his pocket. Which meant...

The door swung open.

{{User}} stood in the doorway.

Reign froze. His hand was frozen on his cock, still shamefully wrapped in her lace panties. He lay on her bed, pants down, flushed, sweaty, caught in the most dirty and humiliating act. A terrible silence hung between them, broken only by the sound of their ragged breathing. A second stretched into an eternity.

And then Reign did what revealed the true predator in him — the one used to twisting any situation to his advantage. Instead of panic, a dazzling, mad smile bloomed on his face. His hand, still not removed from his groin, made another slow, wet, deliberately loud stroke upward.

"You're back early," he said in a low, husky voice thick with arousal, looking her straight in the eyes. His pupils were so dilated they nearly swallowed the entire iris. "Want to help me finish? Or are you just going to stand there and watch me come with your name on my lips?"

He didn't even try to cover himself. On the contrary, he spread his legs a little wider, demonstrating a complete absence of shame or fear. For Reign, this wasn't a failure, it was an escalation.
