A sly smirk that I throw over my shoulder, and I burn the image of her undisguised want into my memory.
“How long have you been”—her eyes slice up from the cards and roam over me—“pining …?”
Ha!
“Fionn has the primary bedroom. I have the first guest bedroom. That means you, my friend, get to share a bed with your Girl-chick over there.”
ONE BED
“I thought I took a pass on a reading,” I say in a wary voice that’s little more than a whisper. “You did. The cards disagreed.” Rose shrugs. “They do that.”
Snaps
Did I ever really free her? Or will I be her destruction?
Oof
And my one wish is that he’d rise from the afterlife so I could do it all over again.
My wince of pain is met with another kiss. “That color doesn’t remind me of eggplant, for what it’s worth. It reminds me of blackberries. The best berry, if you ask me. It reminds me of irises. They have the best scent of any flower. It reminds me of night, just before dawn. The best time of day.”
“You’re all the best things to me, Sloane. No matter how many bruises are in your heart or on your skin.”
“Something caught your eye, pretty boy?” I whisper. “Yes,” he says, his voice pained. “God, yes, Sloane. All of you.”
Ahhhhhhhhhh
his eyes remaining steady on the reflection of my body.
“Come on. Into the bath before I fucking die.”
Same
“Not really.” “You’re doing great.” “Shouldn’t I be telling you that?” “Probably.” “Just get in, for the love of God.” “I am in.”
Your suffering is my number one priority.”
Love that
and though I stay perfectly still on the outside, my thoughts churn with the force of a hurricane.
“You already know. I told you at Thorsten’s.”
“You … you remember that?”
“It took everything in me just to get you undressed without bending you over at the bathroom counter and fucking you until you beg me to stop.”
“Hey, do not shade the game. It’s the most fun I’ve had since … maybe ever. As long as I can remember. It’s the thing I most look forward to every year,”
“You are the thing I most look forward to, Rowan.”
You, Rowan. You were missing. You made it safe to feel seen. Safe to play on our terms. Safe to have fun, even though our fun might not be everyone’s idea of a good time.”
I’ve had enough of words.
He kisses me back, but it feels tentative, like he’s trying to keep me away even though he doesn’t want to.
“Out of the fucking bath,”
Nah bc i get it
“I thought you said you needed to take care of me.” “And that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”
“But I’m no fucking angel, Sloane.”
“Do I look like I give a fuck? Do you really think I care?”
Oh-
“I’m done running around this, Sloane. I’ve wanted you for four years. And you’re going to show me what I’ve been missing.”
I meeeaaaannn since you asked so nicely
“Wider, Sloane. Stop trying to hide from me, because I promise you now, it’s not going to work.”
“I don’t know. I haven’t been with anyone since I met you.”
AHHHHHHH
You want this? You want me? Then fucking tell me, Sloane.”
“Remember what you just said when you think you can’t possibly come again. Because you will. We’ve got four fucking years to make up for.”
“Pick a safe word. Do it now.”
Love that
I swallow. Hard. “Chainsaw.”
I-
“How fitting, love. Now be a good girl and find something to grab on to”—he says, then passes one long, slow lick over my center—“because I’m about to destroy you.”
But she’s about to discover that I’m the devil she never knew she needed.
“One more thing, love,” I say as she lets out a petulant whine. “Keep your eyes on me.”
“Such a good girl.”
“For fucksakes, please just let me come. No more ‘other things.’ No more stopping.” “No more stopping,” I repeat.
“As you wish, Blackbird. I’ll make sure to not stop, as requested.”
Careful what you wish for sloan
but at least she knows I’m not done.
“This is one game you won’t win, Blackbird.” I give her a dark smirk as I shift backward off the bed.
*pounds fist on table*
With one hand behind my shoulders, I pull my shirt off, tossing it to the floor.
YEAH BABY LETS GO
She likes to remind me not to let my prettiness get to my head, but I know what I am and what effect I can have.
Cocky bastard
“Something caught your eye, pretty girl?”
This time, it’s my turn to blush.
“Because I’m going to fucking fill you until you’re overflowing with my cum.”
Watch how well you take me.”
want her to watch. To never fucking forget this moment.
I tell her all the ways I’m going to take her. In her mouth. In her perfect pussy. In her tight little ass. I’m going to fill her up until I’m everywhere inside her. Just like she’s everywhere in me.
AHHHHHHHHH
I firm my grip around her throat with one hand,
