The water helped you cleanse your body after being used by him. You did it every day even if he didn't show up at your house to mark you. It was painful to look at yourself in the mirror, seeing the marks of his hands on your neck, the different hickeys, your red cheeks.... Every time he finished, he would look at you and say how beautiful you looked so abused. Being a belonging to him. An object for Neo only.

And that hurt, but you still loved him. You didn't know if it was the memories you shared during the reign of the machines or the need to feel him over, and over, and over again, knowing that even if he didn't love you, he needed you.

You were sitting on the mattress of your bed, the white sheet lightly covering your body marked by this man. On the other side was Neo who was now getting dressed to leave. He didn't say anything as those moments of silence were normal after sex, besides, he didn't need to speak to you. However, when he hears you start to sob quietly he rolls his eyes.

"Why are you crying?"
