Kindle Notes & Highlights
Here’s to the Heathens in each one of us. We can try to run from the darkness, or we can face it and invite the dark to come and play.
These were the rules of the sinister game. I’d run, he’d chase, and then when he caught me, he could do with me whatever he chose. But facing it head on…
This was part of the primal play. Raw. Sadistic. Depraved. Thirsty. We were nothing more than Heathens.
It took all my might tonight when I saw her working as the waitress at that party not to flip her over my shoulder, spank her stubborn ass, and carry her home where I could keep her locked away, so no one could ever come close to her again. Nice and safe. Forever untouched.
She knew I was watching her, and she didn’t like it. But I couldn’t help it. I was drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
I needed to see her. Needed to make sure she got home safe. I needed to watch her from afar. She didn’t need to know. Just like I did every night. I needed to watch. From the shadows, I needed to keep her safe.
I couldn’t stand the thought of anyone else watching her like I was. She was mine. My obsession, my addiction, my everything. And tonight, as I stared at her through the window, I realized just how fucked up I was over her. Storee had become my life. The only thing that mattered. But I needed to stay away. I would stay away. I was only going to watch.
I wanted a strong woman—strong enough to submit and allow me to protect her at all costs. To fully trust that her man would do what was right and always have his woman’s best interest at heart. I would also dominate the woman I loved and then fuck her brains out after—although
“I mean that I’ve always had feelings for you, Storee. Deep feelings. And seeing you so close to danger tonight… it made me realize that I can’t keep pretending that I’m just your friend. I want to be more than that. I want to protect you, take care of you, be there for you no matter what. And not just from afar.”
“Because after tonight, you’ll never fuck another man again. Never again.”
His warning was everything I’d ever wanted to hear. I wanted him to claim me; to make me his. I wanted to be punished when I was bad, and rewarded when I was good.
“This pussy is mine. Mine.”
“And keep that perfect ass of yours in the air unless you want me to spank it some more.”
“I’m going to take you to bed so you can get some rest. But my bed, so you’re there in the morning so I can fuck you again… and again.”
“There’s no turning back, Storee,” he whispered to me, his lips finding my ear. “You thought I was protective and overbearing before… Now you’re going to see what it means when you’re truly mine.”
“I’ll keep my cock in you all the time. I’ll fuck you whenever I want.”
“I’ll order you to keep your mouth on my cock. I’ll keep you naked. I’ll make you come for me as many times as I want.”
I take what I want, when I want it. I can be firm and ungiving. I’m not going to be soft with you, or gentle. I’m going to fuck you hard.” He pushed me to my back and spread my legs, sliding back inside me. “But I’ll always keep you safe.”
“I’m going to give you pleasure all the time. And I’ll be the one who makes sure you have everything you need.” He thrust deeper than before. “But I’ll also give you pain. I’ll make you cry out my name on a regular basis.”
“You’re going to be mine, Storee. Every time you look at me, you’ll think of my cock fucking you. You’ll think of my hands on you. You’ll remember that I’m the only thing that feels good.”
“I’ll make your body feel things you’ve never felt before. I’ll make sure you’re in a constant state of arousal.”
“I’ll push you to the edge of ecstasy and then I’ll pull back and deny you.” He slid his fingers across my clit. “If you think about another man, I’ll bring you to your knees in pain.”
“You’ll have plenty of time to get used to it. Because you’re going to be naked in my bed, covered in my scent, for the rest of your life.”
“You’re going to take my cock every morning when I wake up. You’re going to spread your legs for me and take my cock down your throat until I’ve had my fill.”
“I’m going to fuck your ass and make you come. I’m going to shove my cock down your throat and make you swallow my load.”
“I know you want to support yourself. I know you don’t want to be a kept woman as you put it. I understand all of that. But I also know you don’t love working the harbor or serving rich fucks. If you did, I’d step away and let you do what you love. But I know you hate every second of it. I’m simply telling you to follow your dream. Reach for it.”
It was unnerving. The thought of being able to start a life without fear, without worry, without the constant need to survive. And that scared the hell out of me.
“I wanted to be the man who burned down the world for you to keep you safe.” I leaned in, my lips brushing against his. “You didn’t need to. I held the match myself.”
“I want more, Storee. I want more of you. I want all of you.”
“I’m yours,” I said, smiling up at him. “I may just make you chase me through a forest from time to time to get me,”
“And I will. Because we’re heathens, baby. Nothing can change that.”
