The  Merchant Prince, Chapter 1 

Pairings: Male Naga/Female Reader

Trigger Warnings: NSFW, uncomfortable but consensual sex, Pregnancy, stillbirth, consensual cheating/marriage infidelity, past drug use, alcoholism

Synopsis:

This is a business transaction, you think, the horrible pounding of your heart giving you chest pains. A trade.

Your baby. His baby. A union of flesh in return for a crumbling business empire, one you know you can raise from the ground like a phoenix shaking off the ash of rebirth. The keys to the kingdom come with a price- but it will be worth it in time.

You just have to bear the irritation of your baby’s hedonistic father with stony disposition and firmness. He can’t shake you, no matter how skilled he becomes in finding your insecurities.

Author’s Note

So this is considerably darker and more traumatized than most of my work. The warnings do not apply to the main love interest’s and character’s relationships, besides them trying to work out that trauma, in, admittedly, very misguided ways. Their relationship starts out toxic, desperate and angry and exceptionally bitter, but mellows out with every mutual understanding reached.

This is an exploration between two deeply wounded people who need to be on the same page so they can work together to more effectively reduce their enemies to ash <3 I will put trigger warnings for particular scenes at the start of each applicable chapters. There will be no gratuitous flashbacks- this isn’t about the abusers, this is about their victims, so there will be no torture porn.
