“Because it’s you,” he says in a cryptic tone that leaves a knot at the bottom of my stomach.
you believe I’ll stop after a kiss, you’re in for a massive surprise, Mrs. King.”
“Yeah? What do you intend to do?” “Kiss every inch of your body, then fuck you for all the times I couldn’t.”
“I lack the capacity to be gentle when it comes to you, Mrs. King.”
“But you knew that already when you teased me all night long.”
“Judging by how wet and ready you are, I’d say you definitely do. Don’t you know it’s advised to steer clear of murky waters?” “I was never good with following advice.”
“This is going to be fast and rough, beautiful. I can’t slow down or take it easy.”
I never knew a pussy could look so fucking erotic, so beautiful that I want to break it.
Though, deep down, very deep in my black demented soul, I do want to break her to fucking pieces. Maybe I’ll do that after I glue her back together so that she never finds her way out of my orbit. My cage. My fucking grip.
“You look so fucking beautiful when you’re being torn apart by my cock, Mrs. King.”
“You’re the most beautiful when your tight little cunt is being railed by me. You’re dripping for me and taking my cock so well. That’s it, mmm, show me how much you’re mine, wife.”
“You shouldn’t have provoked me, then, shouldn’t have flaunted yourself in barely-there clothes and offered what’s mine to the public. Now you’ll take my cock as punishment and thank me for it like a good wife.” I slap her arse. She groans. “Let me…let me look at you.” “No.” “Please…I want to see you.”
“So you can keep fucking me from behind?” Her head is turned sideways, but she’s not looking at me, her lips set in a line. Her face is flushed and dripping with both desire and defiance.
“Why do you only touch me from behind?” she asks in a soft voice.
“Do you not want to see my face?” Her words crack at the end. “It’s not that.” I run my fingers over my angry red handprint on her porcelain skin.
“We’re not lovers. This is only fucking, so I don’t see why we should engage in any form of intimacy.”
“You’re right. I’ll take this as an apprenticeship to learn how to please my future lovers.”
“You’ll have no future lovers.” “Says who?” “The fact that you’re my wife.”
“This marriage is only temporary until I find the love of my life.” She stands up in her full naked glory and hikes her han...

“I only did so because I thought you were asleep.” “And you can’t do it now?” The pain in her voice would move any other man.
“You’re such a bastard. I really hate you.” “Good. It’s dangerous to love me. But you already know that.”
“Very British of you.” She pauses. “Why don’t you try it? You might like it.” “Are you serious? You’re well aware of my disregard for sweet things.” “Very contradictive, considering you married the sweetest girl.”
She’s my responsibility, my wife, and my property. I meant it when I said I could give her anything but love.
‘I hate him right now.’ End of quote.”
“I’m willing to gamble on underestimating instead of overestimating her. We did it before and she ended up in the fucking hospital.” “It’s different now. Both of you are.” “Still no.”
She might not break if you tell her the truth.” “No,” I let out in a clipped tone.
“How come you’re smart in everything but excruciatingly obtuse when it comes to her?” “I’m not obtuse, I’m realistic. She’ll never know and that’s final.”
But he never lets his walls down. It doesn’t matter how deep and raw his touch is, Eli’s mind is still way out of reach like a faraway galaxy that’s physically unattainable.
a part of me ripping at the seams and falling away with the depressing finality of an autumn leaf.
“You’re such a menace.”
“You still went to hell and back to marry him.”
“Princess, tell me. I promise not to punch him.” He pauses. “More than three times.”
My face hurts from all the smiling. Well, then, time to face my nemesis.
In a flash, Eli snatches the knife and jams it through the back of Robert’s hand. The blinding strength breaks the dish and Robert’s blood mixes with the meat’s as his hollowing scream fills the restaurant.
“You’re lucky we’re in public or that knife would’ve been deep in your throat. Look at my wife again and I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
“Because you’d stab them?” “Stab them, sabotage them, smash their goddamn lives to smithereens, force them to vanish without a trace. Take your pick. There’s no peaceful future for any other man in your life, wife
My husband is a full-blown sociopath, and I’m his insane, completely illogical obsession.
“I would’ve done worse,” he admits. “But not in public. He should know better than to leave trails of evidence behind.”
“And while you’re at it, consider whether or not you’ll look at my face while being inside me, because that’s the only way I’ll allow you to touch me.”
“You’ll have to share my bed, too. I’m not your whore, Eli. I’m your wife and you’ll treat me as such.”
The result? The bastard completely shut me out.”
phoenix trapped in the branches of the tree of life. Crisp lines, plenty of negative space, neither big nor small, but it’s the right size to be noticed.
“Eyes on me when you come for me, baby.”

That afternoon, Eli invites me to watch him be a sex god. Sorry, I meant play polo.
I intended to take revenge, but I ended up falling deeper. What a mess.
The power to lock me up in an asylum and marry another woman who can give him children. Maybe someone from old money like Gemma.
“Grandchildren, Cole.” Uncle Aiden grins wolfishly. “For your information, we’ll be sharing those.”
“Everything is a potential hazard for me.” “Then I’ll remove everything.” “Don’t be sweet. I can’t take it.” “I’m anything but sweet. I’m a menace.”
“When Dad sat me down and told me I was born different and I have no reason to feel ashamed of it. In fact, I should be as proud of it as he is of me.”
