Summary: After waking up in a strange room with a naked stranger, Emma and Killian must endure the twisted game their kidnapper insists they play in order to gain provisions and avoid punishments.
A/N:This update is not based on a prompt, but it does help set up a prompt that I’ll be tackling in a future update. Mentions of childhood sexual abuse do occur in this chapter, but nothing graphic. As always, please feel free to message me if you need clarification or have questions before reading.
Lots of love to @ultraluckycatndand@kmomof4 for their exceptional beta skills on this one! Also, much thanks to @elizabeethan for her invaluable input on this chapter!
“You both must have a terrible case of cabin fever by now,” Pan’s voice commented through the speakers overhead. “How would you feel about the chance to go outside and get some fresh air?”
“What’s the catch?” Killian asked, trying to keep any notes of eagerness he felt over the prospect out of his tone.
“Pan says…” His dramatic pauses were starting to lose their effect, “Tell each other your worst sexual experience for the opportunity of going outside.”
“That’s it?” Emma snorted. “He’s losing his touch if his goal is to make these difficult for us to answer. The only difficult part is choosing which one is theworst.”
“My first experience was the worst,” Killian replied. As it was prone to do, the memory spiked his anxiety and caused his panic to rise until he remembered the technique that helped alleviate it. Closing his eyes, he focused on keeping his breathing even, but before he could run through the steps that grounded him, Emma responded with a fresh quip.
“What? Were you too eager? A little premature ejaculation action? Tell me the girl didn’t laugh at you… or is that why it was the worst?”
