Chapter 17: Good Boy on a Leash
"You want me to be your girlfriend?" ‹96684423› Cora was only fourteen. §57defed7 She wanted to date someone. (3174e55a) Honestly, she figured she was already dating Hawke — everything that supposedly came with dating, they'd done years ago. #7f88db6b
Back then she was just curious. ©4a563b5d/May 27, 2026 Rebellious. * d0a61246 Didn't understand a damn thing. ·d543fbf0·
But now Cora figured she got it. #3e142f5d She knew exactly what she wanted, crystal clear. [v.d9e53233] She liked Hawke. [ed.e58bf111] The only people who said she didn't know anything were the so-called grown-ups around her, pretending to be mature. [ms.51535e6f]
What did kids know about love? (8588661f) Jack shit, supposedly. ©42c9e860/May 27, 2026
She wanted to say — you adults are the ones who know jack shit. ··14710fe2 You all know so much, then how come not one of you bothered actually being in love? sub:2b93bbc4 You all turned your lives into this sad-ass picture with the people next to you, and you've got the nerve to lecture her?·dc3debac
Hawke reached for her hand. [proof:68edbda8] A little awkward. ed.60d20d5e A little shy. plate-a2a8305d
"Cora, I've liked you for a long time. (7c49ac5a/Wed) First time I saw you when I was a kid, I knew you weren't somebody I could ever touch.·666424fb I always thought just being a dog by your side would be enough. sub:a7806260 I know I crossed the line lately. ed.77495551 You had every right to be mad. ··8bda2431 You..."
He stopped. ¶1ab699ac His eyes were shaking harder now, fogging over, but his expression stayed flat. ref·fedde6b4
"Don't give me too much hope. [proof:3c3afba6] I'll start wanting more." (c9f3cbd2/Wed)
Cora frowned. no.03c9984a The way she figured, if Hawke ever wanted to make this public, she'd be dead the second it dropped. §d5821eea Money talks. ‹0b04024f› She wasn't built for poverty. ed.ad959d51 She wasn't the kind of girl who could live on love alone.·37f6281d
"Okay. ‹a8971b34› Forget I said anything." ref·47f7bf64 Cora turned and walked away. no.112e64b9 Dead serious about it. [v.3e85f407] Hawke just stood there, shoulders shaking, hand pressed to his forehead, crying — quiet, agonized. ⁰04160444
"Why are you crying again?" 0406e45f·· Cora frowned at him. #f55a51a2 She really did not get this boy. ◆ b59e81e4
She'd meant to wrap herself up with a bow and hand herself over to make him happy. [v.dec7605a] Instead of unwrapping the gift, he'd somehow managed to make himself cry over it. sub:071c75ec
What did he even want?·464a3689 Couldn't they just both be happy?·e49256db
Cora had to circle back. «d179cd40» She crouched down, looked at his face, and the longer she looked the more lost she got. ⁰b3fa5e0a The thing was — she didn't get why he was crying, but seeing him hurting made something in her hurt too. «1567dfd3»
"Okay, okay. ref·082e5eb4 Hawke, baby, don't cry. ©5f17674e/May 27, 2026 I'm still right here. ··ef05341b Just appreciate what's in front of you, yeah? imp.c78a6786 A few more days and I'm back at the cram tutor. ⟨de780ff7⟩ Then we won't even get to see each other." plate-44ca91dd
Hawke's face was wet with tears. [proof:edf9529c] He'd just wiped them off, but the second she said that, his eyes fogged right back up. plate-8af8a4f5
He cried fast. * 66aeb60a Cora marveled at it, kind of impressed. ed.e9c1d480 Like a one-year-old. 771e641d·· Scare him a little and the waterworks just appeared. ·54c2c549·
"No, no. ©c186664d/May 27, 2026 Don't be sad. #33a5d1b1 We're not crying in the middle of the road. [ms.3744a049] It's my fault.·9ad92f63 All my fault." ed.0725350e Cora kept patting his back, soothing him. ¶7213c01c Hawke choked the sobs down and walked back with her. plate-d36594dd Whatever he was thinking, he didn't say another word the whole way. — ad1268ce
That night she wanted to fuck. [ms.ecdccf77] He turned her down. ref·a3630ad5
Cora got pissed. ·1d770a86· She stripped naked, threw herself at him, kissed him hard, started tearing his clothes off. ··d464c9bf He held her down for a while, firm. ¶c1bb0805 Then she snapped one mean word at him, and he just went limp, curled up on the other side of the bed to sleep. [ed.f58c9c1c]
She slid under the covers. [v.02dca0b4] Went down on him for a long time, between his legs. ◆ 2210f925 Kissed him until she fell asleep herself, mouth still on him. «3c32a0ad»
The next morning, Hawke was gone. — 262b84f8 Didn't even leave a note. [ms.7a0a07fd]
Cora was furious. plate-26c85515 She went looking, couldn't find him. [v.312c9298] Waited in the room two days. sub:39e925ee Nothing. ··77f9b034 Her family kept calling, hurrying her back, so she packed up and left. * 3402fe47
All the stuff she'd bought for him? #2f9e1b15 She threw it all in the dumpster on the way out. [proof:fdd0f0a8]
Wasn't gonna waste another thought on him. no.28a2ac8b Plenty of other guys. [proof:a7756199] If she wanted, there'd be a line of them waiting to be her boyfriend. [ed.da4a7847] Some little stray didn't make the cut. #db835431
Back home, Cora threw herself into studying like she was burning. sub:d1a37020 Stomach full of fire, nowhere to put it. no.0595214a Every face she saw turned into Hawke's. [proof:f7930fdd] She couldn't focus. (1a8de1f7)
With the cram tutor's pop quizzes every other day and her parents' threats day and night, the anxiety had nowhere to go. imp.65dc67a4
She took a cold shower in the middle of winter — freezing — and ended up shivering in the bathtub full of cold water. [v.e7cb66b8] Next morning she woke up with a fever. §254b18ac Lay in bed three days, half-conscious, on IV drips. no.39450da0 Eventually she pulled herself back together. [ms.e152baa6] Study mode came back too. plate-a4ffe197
Cora went to the tutor every day. #478ff808 Until one afternoon, walking past the bakery she passed every single day, she saw Hawke. sig.6e3a6de4
He was working there. no.b594078c Cora went in, grabbed a pile of pastries, walked straight up to him, and slapped him across the face. no.59baac7b Cold as anything. ·4f9b63b5· Then she dumped everything in front of him. no.d9876574
"Ring me up." (d1e1f2f1)
The older employee next to him came over to scold her. ¶4cfd2849 Hawke blocked her, kept saying, "It's fine," "It's okay." sub:d37c6d5d
Cora paid. 227cfa1e·· Sharp-eyed, she noticed the shirt under his work apron — it was the one she'd thrown in the trash that day. * da4a4abd Something in her chest cracked. [proof:bbe15990] She wanted to make him take it off and give it back. ©a6cf1472/May 27, 2026 She wanted to ask how the hell he'd gotten even thinner. ⁰f0952192 Her nose burned. §988f0ac0 Tears almost spilled. (ab072b96)
She slammed the bag of pastries he'd just handed her against his chest, covered her face, turned, and ran. [v.af514616]
Hawke was a dog. imp.11074192 He was a fucking dog! [f0261ec7]
She hadn't made it far before he caught up. — galley 73a4edcf — Cora saw he was holding the bag of pastries. #eeb40e71 Every ugly feeling she'd been hiding came pouring out. no.c42c7437 She cried, asking him —
"Is something wrong with you? ··bce29f9d You only happy when it's like this? ‹452c128c› I can't be good to you, is that it? * dc109c39 I know there are things I can't do yet. ed.3d349a65 Do you really need every single one of them right now?" [v.0813a210]
"I don't need them. [ms.1be9de30] This is enough." imp.d57a1f5f He kept his head down, voice calm. imp.11a020b6 Cora had snot on her mouth, sniffing and wiping at the same time. (8dfade6e) A complete mess. ¶6bcdc5bd
"Enough my ass. (6b72b325/Wed) You're a fucking masochist. imp.796ab1d3 If I don't step on you and humiliate you and put a goddamn dog collar on you, you're not satisfied!" [40a848d4]
"Yeah. sig.77adf7ae That's exactly what I am." sig.0d003d94 Hawke confirmed it, voice still flat. ©dff3cea0/May 27, 2026
Cora lost it. imp.c68a6b4c She shoved him hard, turned, and ran. [proof:c35f38b6]
Back home, she cried while typing into the family computer — searching how to train male subs, how to make them obsessed with you and obedient to everything, how to torture them so they enjoyed it. [a3a6d02f] Then she cleared the search history. ◆ 300ef3ce Next day, she went back to the bakery. ··8173a2d7
Hawke was still working. [v.78fe48d0] While the girls behind the counter weren't watching, Cora slipped him a note. ◆ 1908d0ac
Asked where he was living now. fa0a6fc4··
Hawke wrote back. sig.9d7efee5 Some distance from here. §acccb58a Out in the country. imp.88790945 Had to take the bus. — 176dac57 Rent was dirt cheap though — if he could borrow a few hundred bucks against his wages, he could stay there a month or two.·863b0370
Cora asked for his key. ref·2d4ce4e6 On the way to the tutor, she got a copy made. [proof:9e0cd971] On the way back, she returned the original. «56da76fa»
After that, every chance she got, she'd lie about where she was going. ©52989f2f/May 27, 2026 Slip off to that crappy little place — still better than where he used to live — and go to town on Hawke. (c507b239)
She wrote shameful words on his skin. (18989cd3/Wed) Made him wear a vibrating egg and a butt plug to work. 9bf3087f·· Pushed in plugs with long tails attached. ◆ 3e74c90a Climbed on top of him and made him crawl. ◆ 24a97ca9 Started riding the puppy in dirtier and dirtier ways. ⁰e651b218 Sometimes she'd even make him open his mouth and take her piss, then press herself against him and kiss his filthy mouth. sub:a99f5d28 Together, they kept losing more and more of every line. «c351fd35» The relationship turned into a real Dom/sub dynamic. (59bf6d59/Wed)
They were freakishly compatible. ref·df02b589 Hawke had been trained years ago. ◆ 9f645543 If anything, Cora was the one who had to fight harder inside herself to do the things she was doing to him. imp.79f342dd
She worried about hurting him. no.89f6cba6 Worried about making him uncomfortable. [proof:5b10b899] She had this feeling she was sanding away at his dignity, bit by bit. ref·66171d39 The feeling left her covered in sweat when she woke up at three in the morning. ref·6606e0cb
But she couldn't say no to the rush of control and dominance that came after she made him hurt. — galley e6ddae1d — That night at the motel, he'd actually disobeyed her? cee7f570·· Didn't want her? [ms.8897cc7c]
If he wasn't gonna listen, why was he kneeling next to her now? ··3bab8794 She was fingering his hole, and his cock was already leaking up front. [v.daeb5bea]
Was it the back that felt good? «d7da65a0» Or was it just because the hand was hers? no.5b8a5f02
Cora couldn't take Hawke's small breaths, lost in it. no.39972eae His voice had changed years ago. plate-63f56cc3 Clearer now. ◆ 77f12f93 Cleaner. #9df181f5 There were so many times she hated that she didn't have a cock of her own. no.d95ea593 Hated that Hawke didn't have one more hole down there. ¶80bed6d2
If she could fuck Hawke, she'd absolutely wreck him. #e0ae7a39 Legs that wouldn't close. plate-af854f12 Couldn't crawl off the bed. ··cb26a732 See if he'd dare to leave her again. ¶27f9cfc2 If it ever happened a second time, she'd find a chain, lock him up in some dark little room, and fuck him day and night for fun. imp.c1ce2d96 Until he submitted. ⁰b0a69799
Cora got obsessed with the idea. imp.6cdceabc Ever since the two of them entered that kind of relationship — her as Hawke's master — the thought of fucking him never gave her a day of peace. ref·6a612251 If anything it got worse. 7135a01b·· Out of her control. ◆ 8da97c25
After school started up, Cora went to class during the day, cram tutor in the afternoon. [v.6a8382c5] No matter how tight her schedule got, you'd still find her over at Hawke's place keeping watch. ed.9f64eebe
On her fifteenth birthday, she cut the cake during the day, surrounded by classmates and parents. [a91bd736] Got through the party. 14c64395·· At midnight she snuck out, hailed a cab, went straight to him. sub:cb5b37b9
She asked for a birthday present. ‹007a1051› He said anything. §75b23e9a So Cora let her sick mind run wild and unlocked the last territory on him — strapped on a dildo and fucked him for a long, long time. ‹b3661d16›
She took his back. [9a0ca38c] He bled a little. 1693ea78·· Probably hurt. no.8e8e67d4 But she still made him come up front. plate-0a0fb97d
All these years added up, Cora had basically taken Hawke apart from every angle. sig.edf582a9
She wasn't sick of it. [9554b3f4] Not one bit. ‹3b4e980a› She kept obsessing over the blood — loved it and ached for it at the same time. imp.1dc160cf Quietly understood, for the first time, why some men got such satisfaction from seeing their woman bleed after losing her virginity. ··e8edd3af
Eventually Cora gave herself an enema, cleaned her ass, brought her stuff over and went looking for him to fuck her. ··87834353 Even while playing with Hawke, she knew.·c9fbd07a Knew he wanted to fuck her too. [ed.3a228bdb] That cock of his had a will. ¶fbff6588 The hole between her legs had a will too — and it wanted him. ·c98128a1·
Hawke had her. sig.8f7ca51c From behind. [ed.cdfe5f13] Lots of foreplay. ©e2b4ef04/May 27, 2026 The same way that, back when she was eleven, she hadn't even noticed he was already all the way in. [v.177be769] Cora was on her elbows and knees, dazed, just feeling a little full. ref·dca44554 He fucked her for a long time. [proof:6ec44b9b] Her pussy kept gushing — like she was peeing. * 4bed68c1
She didn't bleed. sub:00526d8d Front or back — Hawke had never made her suffer or bleed, not in patience and not in technique. (a2d9ba4d)
That night, Cora got scared all of a sudden. [v.0f984c34] She was only fifteen. §c2e903e3 Still a kid. ⁰c78f0d3a Hawke was already seventeen. — b90258fe Almost eighteen. * 90c62841 Almost a grown man. no.1aeba859
After he became an adult, would he still let her put it in his ass? imp.1fd6493a Would he still play these games with her? ⁰79f84502 Still let her drag him into chaos? * 59792421
Out of nowhere, she felt small about her age. (2a01d72e/Wed) The first time she ever felt small in front of Hawke. §f80f996b Wished she was way older than him. sub:83eb4fbd Wished she was the bigger one, so she could protect him better. ‹bf21514a›
When Hawke wrapped his arms around her to sleep, Cora ached so hard she could barely stand it. [ms.4aa9e873] Felt like she wasn't strong enough. [v.94514ec4] Also scared, suddenly — scared he'd decide some older woman with more presence was better. #3368db78 Scared he'd go sleep with women like that. ··d92c2f46
After that, Cora got easier to deal with. ⟨f1c6db0b⟩ All bark, no bite. ee600586·· Whether she was fucking him or letting him fuck her, she'd cuss him out and say nasty things, but her movements got gentler every single time. #60776720
Same scene, same energy — "Hawke, baby, I love you so much" and "Such a slut, if you love cock that much go find a man to do you" felt identical. ed.f57fc05a Could swap them out and nothing would change. [v.fe88d255]
The way she looked at him had been off for a while. ⟨2767dbc8⟩ Cora was high on him, like a drug. ⟨4fa162a7⟩ Like Hawke was maybe the best person in this world. plate-05c187ca The one who'd spoil her most. — ecf0c32b
She even thought about it — wouldn't it be nice to just spend her whole life with him? [ed.cf2e3b65] If she missed him, she'd never meet anyone better. ··505a00f5
