Disclaimer: I do not own the people in this fic that are real, they belong to themselves. I do, however, own the idea behind it and the original characters. No harm is intended.
Warnings: Extreme sexual content, bondage, whippings, knife play, blood play, name calling, dub con, mentions of past non con and rape. Overall Pagan overtones. Cursing, angst and very rough, angry sex. Character death (More than one death but not Adam or Tommy.) Goddess worship. Lying, deceit, and hurtful words. Betrayal.
Summary: Adam is a dancer, a loner, and doesn’t believe in love. He doesn’t sing anymore, either. Tommy is a high priced whore with a past that haunts him. Set in an A/U where the Goddess is worshiped and an old priestess is the spiritual leader. In this semi modern but pagan world, people chose their own punishment because who knows how to punish you better than yourself?
Author’s Note: This story took me by surprise. It’s like nothing I’ve ever written and I’m not sure I will ever write anything like it again. I was compelled to write it though, so I did. It’s not your usual prostitute!Tommy fic and it’s not your usual angsty Adam either. It’s rough in places and in others it’s almost sweet. All I can say is, if it’s not your thing, that’s okay, because it’s not really mine either. But if it is, brace yourself. This is a hellofa ride!
Thanks to groffiction for the wonderful banner.
A/N: And here's the last chapter today, as promised. I just want to take the time to thank everyone that came on this little journey with me. It was a real eye opener for me to write this and I'm very glad that some of you enjoyed it as much as I did, angst and all. Thanks to Molly for all her help and encouragment, 'cause without that, I wouldn't have posted this. Thanks to Caris for pre-reading that first chapter for me and telling me it would be okay. To my readers who leave comments and to those that don't...thanks! Well, here we go, the end, or is it???? *Evil Adamish smirk*
Adam opened his eyes, looking at the blonde hair fanned out over his pillow. He pulled Tommy closer to him and smiled. It was time for him to go back to work, back to dancing but he had a need, an urge to sing. Tommy had helped him find his voice again.
He thought of the dark dreams he had dreamed while lost. He thought of the love Tommy had shown him by coming to find him while he wandered in the darkness alone. But now that darkness was rising, falling away from him. He lifted himself from the bed, careful not to disturb his slumbering lover, and made his way to the window. The stars shone brightly in the Hecate, dark moon night. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the twinkle of brown eyes watching him.
"Are you sad tonight Adam?" Tommy asked him softly.
"No, lover, I am not." He moved back to the bed and sat with his back to the headboard, pulling Tommy into his lap. "I’m not sad at all." He played with his lover’s hair and he leaned his head back, thinking. "Do you know what night it is tonight?"
Tommy stiffened but gave his answer. "T’is the dark moon and Hecate rules this night."
"Shall we play, Tommy?"
Tommy lay there, not saying anything and Adam could almost hear the uncertainty in his mind that he wasn’t speaking.
"I have no need to be hurt, love. I just want to play. I miss our bouts of trading insults and pushing each other. While I love you and care deeply for you, I still would like to play. Will you?"
Tommy sat up, looking at him with something akin to fear but not quite, there was also lust concealed behind the fear. "I will do whatever you wish."
Adam cupped his face in his hands, kissing him softly. "I don’t wish it, if you do not desire it, love. I do not pay you and you are not required to do anything you no longer desire." He kissed Tommy again. "Tell me what you want and that’s what we will do."

Tommy felt the heat creep up his neck and across his face. He avoided those blue eyes that could see into his soul and know his thoughts before he spoke them. He heard Adam chuckle and turned, eyes wide, looking into the face of the man he loved more than his own life. The man he had been prepared to die for, before he would consider letting him go.
"I know what you desire, love." Adam stood and reached out his hand.
Tommy took it.
He followed through the door and into the pleasure room that he had not disassembled since the end of his contract. For some reason, he felt he needed to keep it. He had kept the pain room intact as well. He needed the reminder that pain is a part of life, but not the only part. He hoped that one day; he would not need the reminder.
Adam led him to the sprawling bed in the corner of the room, the bed they had spent the whole night together in sleeping for the first time. Adam released his hand and removed his bed clothing. Naked, he crawled onto the bed, stomach down, spread eagle. "You know what you need. Take it. You have full control this night. I am yours to do with as you please."
Tommy swallowed hard as he looked at all the naked flesh before him, just for him. He wanted so much. They had come so far from where they had both started, but he still had not buried himself in his lover and lost his mind there. He still had not relented and made love to Adam. He knew this was what Adam was offering him and he prayed he was strong enough now to take the gift for what it was and let go of his past pain once and for all.
He moved to the bed, taking off his night clothing as he came to the edge of the mattress. "You are so beautiful, Adam. I want to lose myself in you."
Blue eyes flashed. "Then do so…whore." One blue eye blinked as Adam winked at him, playing a game.
Tommy smiled and felt more at ease, knowing as long as they played, he could do this. "You are mine to control this dark moon night, dancer. I will have you the way I want and you will comply."
A wicked smile met him as he looked at his lover, "As you desire, love."
Tommy crawled across his lover, searching for the leather bindings he knew was at each corner of the bed and clasped Adam one limb at a time into them. Once he had his man restrained, he sat back on his heels; legs bent beneath him and lusted after the firm round ass before him. How long had it been since he had buried himself deeply into another person? It had been years.
He moved to the cabinet and took out what he would need. Laying the supplies near Adam’s head, he climbed on top of Adam and laid himself down, feeling all that skin, warm and soft beneath him. "It’s been so long, Adam, so long since I did this."
"I trust you love. Do what you want. I am yours."
Tommy knew that for Adam to give him full control was his way of coming to terms with his own past, a way of letting go and he felt the tears running down his cheek before he even knew he was going to release them. He had waited long enough. It was time for him to embrace his new life and this man beneath him. It was time to make love to Adam.
He grabbed the lube and condom, bringing them closer for when he would need them. He spread Adam’s legs apart as much at the restraints would allow him. Making himself comfortable, he kneaded the rounded globes of Adam’s ass, feeling the strong muscles contract as he worked them. He brought a hand down, smacking one ass cheek and then the other, hard. He heard Adam hitch in a breath and knew that Adam liked it, so he did it again, feeling the sting on his palm and seeing the redness spread across Adam’s ass. He made his vision blur with lust and want. Using his thumbs, he spread Adam apart and dove between, licking a line up the part. Adam pushed his ass into his face as much at his restraints would allow. Tommy smacked one side of his ass. "Be still. No moving unless I say so." He smacked the other side just for good measure to make his point.
Spreading Adam’s cheeks apart once again, he licked between them at the puckered hole, tasting Adam’s musk, lapping at the ring and pushing a thumb inside and then the other, spreading his lovers muscle as he licked his way inside.
"Tommy…" Adam breathed out like a sigh.
He smirked, grabbing the lube, barely able to hold onto the tube as his hands shook. He was done waiting and he wanted to feel his hard length sinking into that gorgeous body. Pouring out a generous amount onto his fingers, he worked one inside his man, searching for that spot that made him see stars, knowing he had found Adam’s when he let out a cry and humped into the bed. He smacked Adam’s ass with his other hand, rubbing the sting out. "Be still, I told you."
"Want…" Adam moaned as he squirmed on the bed.
"I know what you want. Patience." Tommy continued working his finger in and out of Adam’s tightness, adding another and then a third, brushing a knuckle over that bundle of nerves inside, knowing it would make Adam want him more. He began stretching, spreading his fingers out as he moved them into the tightness making his cock harden to painfulness.
"I have to be in you now, Adam. I can’t wait." Tommy panted out.
"Then take what you need. I’m past ready."
He quickly rolled on the protection and slicked himself. He unbuckled the leather at Adam’s ankles. "On your knee’s dancer." He demanded as Adam complied.
Positioning himself behind Adam, he rubbed his cock against Adam’s hole, teasing, smirking as he did, lust and love filling his heart.
"Don’t tease me, damn it! Fuck me!" Adam pushed back into him, impaling himself on Tommy’s hard cock. "Oh Goddess, yes! More…"
Tommy pulled back and slammed back in, holding nothing back, giving into his need, along with Adam’s as he made love to Adam for the first time. His balls tightened almost immediately and he knew that he would not last long. Grabbing on to Adam’s hip with one hand, draping himself over Adam’s back; he worked Adam’s cock with the other. "Come for me, dancer. I need you to come. I can’t hold…" His orgasm slammed into him, rushing down his spine and out his cock. He felt Adam’s release as his lovers seed spilled over his fingers. Pushing in one last hard stroke, he stayed there, panting, lost in his lover’s body.

Adam squeezed his eyes against the light invading his sleep. He snuggled closer into the heat in front of him, pulling the man tight against him. He took a deep breath of the male scent of the man’s hair, a feeling of complete and utter joy filling him. Cracking his eyes open a slit, he kissed the back of Tommy’s neck. He knew that things were far from perfect, that they would need to work each day to overcome the pain of both their pasts, but he was certain they would and could. The shaft of light coming through the window and the man in his bed assured him of it. He smiled as Tommy rolled over to kiss him good morning.

Old Mother smiled as she came out of her vision. The singer/dancer and former whore would unite many people in the future. They had no idea of the fate before them. She rested her head on her pillow, smiling at the ways of the Goddess.
