( @kingokali ) carter > ravenna : I’ll protect you with my life
breath catches, she knows why he's whispering the words against the shell of her ear & pressing her closer with the hand at her lower back. she moves easily, following his lead as they slow dance across the floor at another one of his father's events & nudges her nose against the hinge of his jaw, a soft smile curling dark - stained lips. there was a thinly veiled threat to her life, a reminder to Carter that everything in his life could be taken away with just a word from his dad but Ravenna knows without a doubt nothing could take her from him.
head tilts back, sea - green eyes finding his gaze & leaves a brush of a kiss to the tip of his chin. " you have nothing to worry about, i know i'm safe with you. " the arm around his shoulders slides so her palm can cup the side of his neck & thumb can rub against the scruff of his jaw. " mi amore . . . your father does not intimidate me, his ' friends ' do not scare me, his little threats do not concern me. " then she kisses him tenderly, appropriate for the setting but not lacking in passion. " the only thing that scares me is losing you, your life is too important to me. " another kiss, teeth nipping lightly at his bottom lip. " we protect each other, Carter. we'll get through whatever happens, together. "

… // ancient starter call : @kingokali .
“ remember when your old man thought we’d get married one day . ” interesting concept , considering carter’s dad only used her for monetary gain ... not because he actually approved ( or even liked ) her . can’t say she feels any differently anyhow , mia’s relationship with thomas hasn’t exactly been the most concrete one . the only tie between the two was carter - and the only one she owes her loyalty to , was him . “ you think i’d be a good daughter - in - law ? ” entertain her , if you will .

I didn't realise you had moved blogs so my bad. Courtney is defintely a favourite of your OC's Id love to learn more about her. Her personality and more of her biography and story. Your writing is just spectacular.
omg anon, i'm so sorry it took me this long to get back at you but only now i got my laptop back. but this!!! is so sweet, thank you!!!
i haven't had time to move her biography to this blog or update it as it's been years since i first created courtney. she started as an affiliated oc with @kingokali but i've grown so attached to her over the years.
you can read her bio here but her story is heavy on tw such as drugs (both abuse and dealing) and domestic violence. she's the youngest of three but only really gets along with her eldest brother, anthony isn't really around. their father is part of the chicago mafia and that sets up her whole trajetory.
she used to a bubbly girl, always with a smile on her lips and so so eager to learn and go to school. as she grew up, her personality shifted to a more dark side as she lost her hope on the world and was faced with her own reality. many times she tried to confront her father but she never won any of those battles. she learnt to stick to herself, to stop daydreaming about a future that was taken from her. she also started to resent her mother for leaving and not fighting for her more. she eventually dabbles into drugs because of her brother but hiding it from him for as long as she could.
she goes to college in chicago, not being able to move away, but is able to study what she wants - journalism. however it's not easy and she isn't able to keep up with her studies as she was in high school. she takes some time off, almost dropping out for good, but eventually is able to graduate with her journalism major.
unfortunately i haven't developed her further than that in recent years but i want to!! so if anyone has characters based in chicago or crime/mafia based, lmk!!

she’s been able to distract herself for the past few months, throwing herself into her work & the restaurant so thoughts of Carter don’t overwhelm her until she’s trying to sleep. heart aches painfully in her chest but Ravenna pushes through it, if anything for Silas & Jace’s sake, hoping one day soon it’ll get easier. as her eyes scan through the paperwork on her desk, attempting to finalize a few of the contracts, her phone rings once before the hostess’ voice comes through the speaker. ❝ miss Astrape ? there’s someone here to see you. ❞ checking the clock, brows furrow she didn’t have any meetings planned for today. ❝ you can send them to my office. ❞
organizing the papers into a pile, Ravenna looks up when the door opens & her heart stops, smile fading slowly as Carter walks into the room. ❝ been a while. ❞ clearing her throat, heels clack against the hardwood floor as she rounds her desk to perch herself on the edge. she has to fight the urge to run to him, arms crossing under her breast & nails dig into her sides. ❝ business going well ? ❞ she doesn’t know how to navigate these waters with him, the small - talk & acting as if they’re strangers, like her heart doesn’t completely belong to him.
@kingokali ( carter → ravenna ) : “ sometimes I wish you waited for me. ”
a harsh scoff comes from her, head shaking incredulously even as tears brim in sea - green eyes. ❝ you wanted me to leave, i did as you asked. ❞ did she leave in the middle of the night without saying goodbye or where she was going ? yes. but it’s not like she went to a different country . . . she just went home. tongue sucks her teeth, looking around the room for a moment to collect her thoughts & sighs bitterly. ❝ did you expect me to just wait for you to send me away ? i can manage my own travels, i thought it would be easier dealing with this stuff alone. ❞ words are thrown back in his face, anger easier to deal with than the sadness & her jaw clenches. ❝ you don’t deserve for me to wait for you. ❞
breath falters, voice wavering as the anger dissipates & shoulders sag slightly. ❝ but i did. i’ve been waiting here the whole time, Carter. i still am. ❞ watery gaze locks with his from across the room, teeth biting her bottom lip to keep them from quivering. ❝ was it worth it ? did being away from me make it easier for you ? ❞

kingokali replied to your post “♣ ━ share five random facts about yourself”
okay but i wasn't the only one that got freaked out by x-files as a kid thank god lmao
Oh yeah no. My dad was a fan of the show and everytime it came on I would like hide. That shit is still creepy. The worst part is I would probably like the show if I could get through the opening. It’s the imagery and that damn song.

ravenna → carter / @kingokali : 💫 for your muse to take mine stargazing
IT’S JUST SO EASY ; the way her body melts into his, the way her heart feels so light, the way her fingers FIT SO PERFECTLY between his, the way she is able to just be with him. as she rests between his thighs, tucked safely & warmly against his chest, Ravenna watches the stars GLIMMER in the night sky & sips the hot cocoa from the mug cupped within her palms. ❝ it’s nice to be away from the city. ❞ she comments idly, shifting slightly to get a little more COMFORTABLE as they cuddle in the bed of his truck & so she can nuzzle her nose under his jaw. lips press a SOFT KISS against his neck, pulling the blanket tighter around them. ❝ it’s nice to be together without all the ❞ she waves her hand carelessly, as if that will tell him EXACTLY what she’s talking about. ❝ all the CRAZY we have to deal with everyday. ❞

i'll tell you when you get your soft, italicized, "Oh."
the emergency jonah adams
something goes wrong. there's urgency. everything gets turned upside down, and you have to grab for the things that matter most Oh. suddenly, there's perspective, and at the worst possible moment, the moment when there is so much else going on, you realize that you have been breathless with want for so, so long. you want everyone to be safe, but please, please, you want *them* to be safe. you want everything to be okay so that you can have another chance to get things right. a chance to start over. and everything will be okay, of course, because you've made it through bad moments before, and that foundation of trust is there, even if you've never quite acknowledged it to its full potential. you trust them. you need them. Oh.

@kingokali ( carter → ravenna ) : “ you’ve gotten so used to being hurt that happiness scares you. ”
eyes snap to his, feeling like an exposed nerve in his living room & she hates it. she hates that he knows her so well, hates that he knows she’s still hiding parts of herself from him, hates that she can’t let herself just BE with him. teeth bite into her tongue, stopping the knee - jerk reaction to insult him, to push back fight or flight & Ravenna has always been a fighter. ❝ we’re all afraid of something. ❞
she clears her throat, taking note of her jacket & the easiest route out of his place, needing some air. ❝ i’m trying Carter, i swear that i am but i’ve got a lot of baggage & every time i’ve tried to share, i’m left standing alone. ❞ with ease she grabs her jacket, pulling it on as she walks to his side. ❝ i . . . need to clear my head. ❞ palm cups his jaw, lips pressing a tender kiss to the corner of his mouth. ❝ i’ll be back, i just need a little space. ❞

she’s smart ; she knows Carter isn’t interested in the woman practically throwing herself at him, only in sealing the deal with the wine supplier for his restaurant. even though she knows this, it doesn’t quell the way jealousy slowly moves through her the poor olive in her martini has been stabbed more than once as she sits at the bar & watches the two.
the tightness in her chest loosens the second he stands from the table, clenching her jaw as the woman holds his hand longer than the handshake calls for & bats her lashes up at him. Ravenna has to turn away, deciding to down the rest of her drink instead of clawing the woman’s eyes out. when his palm finds the small of her back she feels like she can breathe again but the envy still sours her mood. ❝ looks like it went well . . . ❞
@kingokali ( carter → ravenna ) : ❝ stop— it’s okay. they’re not worth your anger. just kiss me. ❞
eyes flutter shut as he let’s his lips brush the shell of her ear & already she’s forgetting about the other woman, the power he has over her would normally scare her but she knows the feelings are mutual. Ravenna leans into his touch, body twisting to find his gaze & fingers dance up the length of his torso until she’s able to hook one at the opening of his shirt & she catches sight of the woman still standing at the table, watching the couple. with a sharp tug, she pulls his face down to her level & noses bump playfully as she finally has a smile pull on red stained lips. ❝ would you like it better if i took my anger out on you ? ❞ then without waiting for his response Ravenna kisses him greedily, taking all that he offers & returning it tenfold. they’re breathless when they part, chests flush together & there’s a devilish glint his sea - green hues. ❝ because i don’t think we’ve christened your office yet. ❞
