Edwin smacks me, again, with the newspaper. “By listening. Something you’ve never been good at."
My heart shatters in my ribcage at how defeated and humiliated she sounds.
I sigh. “I will always want you. I’ve wanted you every day from the moment we met. That will never change.” I get off the bed and circle around the mattress to kneel on the floor in front of her. “I think every day about burying myself inside you and filling you with my love again. I think about chasing away all the memories of what they did to you. I want to erase them from your head. I want to replace the fear they made you feel with the desire I make you feel.

“Give me time. I’m not going anywhere. Let our love be simple and let it be complicated too. Let me see all of you, the parts of you that you keep hidden under your scars. Make me fall even more deeply in love with all the dark parts of you. The parts you think are unlovable. Then one day, ask me properly, and I’ll say yes.” I gently tug the ring off my finger and hold it up for him to take.
“You know what you want, not what you can handle. It’s different and you know it.”
When I ask him to touch me, I don’t want him to hesitate.
“Then I’ll love you violently instead.”
“When I told you that you made me believe in soulmates, I didn’t just mean in this lifetime, or even in this universe. My heart has always belonged to you, even if I didn’t know it at first. I would love you even if I had no heart to give you, because you are the sole reason for my existence. My soul would love you if we lived on different continents and spoke different languages. My soul would be tethered to you across oceans and mountains and harrowing canyons as black as my heart. My soul would be yours if I pulled the trigger the night we met, because not even death could keep us apart.

If I wasn’t so in love with this woman, I would strangle her.
The gun wasn’t loaded. He knew that. He let me believe I had the power, and it’s liberating. This is the man I fell in love with. The man who takes what he wants. The man who doesn’t respect my boundaries because he knows them better than I do. The man who pushes me because he knows my strengths even more intimately than he knows how to exploit my weaknesses.
“Because I see more than you think I do. And I see an angel who just got her wings.”
start to imagine how heart-stopping she would be in a wedding dress, walking down the aisle towards me at our wedding. The thought alone makes my heart squeeze and my dick hard.
“That’s because I’m thoroughly pussy-whipped for you.” I can’t help the giggle that escapes my lips.
And then I lick along the length of him, still clothed.
Because I made him cum in his pants.
was embarrassing and erotic all at the same time. She was in a submissive position, yet completely turned the tables on me and stole the control right out from under me. That’s my good fucking girl.
I fall to my knees in front of her and then I spoil my angel with my mouth and hands, right there on the hood of the car, all damn night. Best Christmas ever.
Christian licks his lips and then takes his bottom lip between his teeth before giving me that devilish smile he’s mastered. “You’re no fun, angel.”
I’ve fallen in love with the most unlovable, virulent, tragic parts of him. And I’ve decided I love the taste of poison.
God help the man who took Elena, because she belongs to only one psychopath. Me.
God, I love it when he’s unhinged.
If fucking my love back into her is the last thing I ever do, it will be a satisfying death. That’s how every man wants to go. In between the legs of his lover.
I’ve been hanging on by a thread named Elena, and now she’s gone. I hold my angel to my chest and wait for Caroline to reach ten before I put the gun to my head. And like I was always meant to, I pull the trigger.
