by Marion Blackwood

For all the people pleasers out there whose sense of self-worth is deeply connected to other people’s opinions. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You are enough.

Needed that today.

Draven drives his fist into his face again.

“If you ever touch her again, I’ll

break your fucking hands. She’s mine. Got it?”

He had to be perfcormative hw had an audience. He literally said he didnt wabt the games to be a thing and gave you every reason to not do it without saying what really happens

“Because I don’t like it when people touch what belongs to me.” I grind my teeth. “I don’t belong to you.” “Yes, you do. In every way that matters.”

“So, I’ll ask again. Is there something you want to get off your chest, Galen?”

admits.

No shit. Those are his kin

“How do you think I felt back in that underground forest? How do you think I felt when I realized that you didn’t fuck me because you genuinely wanted to? That it was all an act. That you didn’t really want me. That you only fucked me as a distraction to steal the ring from me.”

Then a gasp escapes me when Draven lowers himself to his knees.

“You’re right,” he says, tilting his head back so that he meets my gaze. “I kneel for nothing and no one.” His golden eyes burn like flames, searing right through my soul. “But for you… For you, I would kneel.”

OH MY GOD

“And as for making you lick my boots,” he continues, a sly smile now playing over his lips. “Allow me to settle that score as well.”

A MAN

No shit. Draven did it durin the fucking dinner thing

But when I’m with Draven, that life and death threat is somehow gone.

“So fucking hot. All I wanted to do was to bend you over a table and take you right then and there to show them all that you are fucking mine.”

Okay so if she is still clueless after that. This bitch is just dumb
