Madness (L.O.R.D.S., #6)

by Shantel Tessier

Drop your feminism at the door. Haidyn Reeves is going to make you his good little dirty whore in every way.

😈😈

“A well-fed devil is more loyal than a starving saint” has never been a truer statement than when it comes to the Lords.

In a world of shouting men, be the one who remains silent, my mother used to say all the time. If they cannot hear you, they won’t see you.

So what am I afraid of if death isn’t it? I’m afraid of failing those that I love. Of letting my brothers down and leaving them to fend for themselves. I hate being unable to protect the ones who rely on me.

She’s what a man dreams of—dress her up and show her off to your friends, make them jealous of what you have. And then take her home, tie her down, and make her your dirty little whore. Show her what it’s like to be owned.

“Talk to me, doll face. What happened…who did this to you?”

“I won’t have to rape you, doll face. You will crawl to me and beg me to fuck your mouth all on your own.”

Wanting to please a man while watching him fall apart looks like power to me.

“Only I see you naked and only I touch you. If any other man does, I’ll make sure it’s the last thing he does.”

“Lords aren’t religious either, but we do believe in hell.”

“And today you start serving three devils.”

I love them 💕

“What do you say, Charlotte?” I step in, cupping her tear-streaked face. “Will you marry me?” She slowly nods and whispers, “Yes.”

Eeek

I don’t believe in signs, but it felt like one. That she was meant for me. Little Miss Priss to my pretty little whore.

“You vow to be mine, doll face.” “We vow,” we say in unison, and then his lips are back on mine, devouring me like the monster I thought he was.

“Please don’t stop,” she begs in the sweetest voice, and if I wasn’t already on my knees, I’d fall to them for her.

Allowing myself to fall in love with her is madness. No matter how I try to justify it, the ending will be the same. I can only hope I have time to leave her with something that will remind her of me.

Oh nooo

My time with her is limited, but I consider myself lucky. Not everyone knows when they’ll leave this world. I do, and I’m going to spend every second buried inside her.

Sir, you cannot die

“Just know that it was real for me, and I hope that one day you can forgive me, beautiful.”

Ugh

I swallow the knot that forms in my throat. “She’s my mother.” Costello is her maiden name.

Oh hell no

“I’m sorry I couldn’t give you the forever you deserved, doll face. But I promise I gave you all I had left to offer.”

😭😭

Charlotte gave me a life that I didn’t deserve, and even if I’m lucky enough to spend forever with her, it still wouldn’t be enough.
