The Bad Guy

by Celia Aaron

Link stepped back and straightened. “Mr. Lindstrom.”

I stared up into dark green eyes flecked with hazel. This had to be the younger Lindstrom. Sebastian. His father owned the company, and Sebastian served as the CEO.

ohhhh - ok - not the MMC being the boss! ok ok ok

Unlike Hal’s kiss, I was fine with leaving this one right where he’d placed it.

oh yea??? you little minx! 😏😏😏

Link answered for me again.

Does she even like him jumping in??? how long have they been dating...

“No.” I responded before Link could.

hmmmm - seems like some tension here....

Link laughed. “She’s my little explorer.”

Ummmm - much more than an explorer - No me Gusta this guy... 😒😒

Sebastian cut his gaze to Link, his frown deepening before his expression returned to neutral.

agree.

“Would you mind if I cut in for a moment?”

awww shit! here we go.....

No string led to a kidnapping option.

LOLLLLLL - Where there's a will - there's a way....

The song switched to another slow dance,

oh we're still going.... mmm kay.... 😏😏

Camille didn’t notice we’d moved away from the stage and into the darker area at the side of the ballroom.

ummmm her BF isn't standing there watching?? Why didn't he cut in after the first song ended? Weird...

even though murdering Link and tossing her over my shoulder seemed like the more expedient option.

ok - we're unhinged... are you gonna act on those intrusive thoughts??? 😏😏

My father and the rest of the attendees would likely frown on my behavior.

Ya think?!?

When I’d told him I wasn’t ready to sleep together, he’d accepted it, though I could sense the tension underneath.

Hold up.... wait.... y'all ain't boned but he's trying to move you in??? Yea, Nah....

“Did he have potential at least?”

ahhhh enter the gay bestie... Love it!<3

“No, we didn’t…” I fidgeted. “You know.”

oh boy.... she's a super goodie - no cursing? can't say "sex" hmmmm what's her kink gonna be? I'm guessing bondage and praise....

This was it. My chance. The one I’d been waiting for. And there was nothing that could stand in my way.

except bitch ass Link who's gonna throw a tantrum....

I jumped and stared up into his eyes. “Are you drunk?”

Cause he grabbed your ass?? Prudie McPruderson

Camille turned to speak with the blonde she’d come in with,

OH! We've progressed to stalking.... let's jump right in!!!

I followed the movement of his fingertips, the slight pressure he exerted on her. A vision of him with a knife protruding from his neck made me smile.

Yooooooo... lolololol

“Or maybe he wants to be the one feeling you up.”

LOVE an intuitive bestie!

I tapped a key on the laptop and watched as my obsession came to life.

Cameras??? Yeaaaa.... he's nuts...

I leaned forward, touching her image as she denied her attraction to black hats, villains, and demented devils. Her white knight was onto something for once in his useless life. She was made for me,

oohhh- ok, is she hiding some darkness behind her prudishness?

A shadow passed across his eyes. “Your trip?”

oh! he didn't make this happen????

I grinned and imagined how heartbroken he’d be in a few weeks when he received the report of her fatal accident in the Amazon.

AYEEEE YOOOOOOOOO!!!! He's gonna kidnap her!!!

I was well acquainted with Timothy, my servant who played Dr. Williams on the phone a few times.

OMFGGGG HE MADE UP THE ACCEPTANCE??????? THIS IS WILD!!!

He leaned closer, the tip of his nose brushing mine. “Someone already has.”

FML cause I laughed at this.....

“What are you going to do to me?” I swallowed hard, my mouth dry. “Keep you safe. Keep you close.”

"oh okay then... cool.... soooo, what's for dinner?"

“I never want to hurt you.” He shook his head. “I’ll kill anyone who does.”

SWoOONnnNNNnn 🥴🥴🥴

“Where are my clothes?” “Gone.”

Sooo she can't even wear her clothes... wild. I'm guessing he has new clothes for her...

“Yes. You and me. The end.” He pulled the blanket up and tucked it around my shoulder. “You’ll see.”

FUCKING WILD!!!!!!

He shrugged, his muscled shoulders hard in the morning light. “I didn’t intend for you to see that, but I didn’t mind it either. Did you enjoy it?” I re-buried my face in my pillow. “No!”

I can't WAIT to see what her kinks are.....

For the longest time, I actually thought I was suffering from acid reflux. Every time I saw you and had to let you go, I felt it. Like a pit of lava that was burning me from the inside out. No amount of meds could stop the ache.

WHY IS THIS LUNACY SO FUCKING SWEEEETTT!!! 🥴🥴🥴

He kissed the crown of my head. “You are home.”

the unhinged crazy of this MF is more than I could ever imagine!

“Some of the workmen dropped the final wall pane.” His light eyes had dark circles beneath them. “It shattered, but they have another to replace it.”

definitely for the green house he's building for her

I swung the library door open just in time to see her jump out the window and take off across the lawn.

and we're off!!!!

“Good girl.”

there it is... 😏😏😏

I sipped my wine and pondered the butter knife on my plate. Would it do any damage? “If you’re going to stab me, I’d use the fork. It would leave a better impression. More badass than a dull butter knife, don’t you think?”

LOLLLLLLL

“Off to bed, then?” He rose. “I’m game.” “I’d prefer to go back to the library.” “So you can fall asleep in front of the fire, alone?” He tsked. “I think not. Your place is with me.”

FML - I'm in love... Jesus be a fence......

“Oh, by the way.” His voice floated back to me. “You missed the perfect chance to fork me when I was leaning down to see about your ankle.”

I. LOVE. HIM.

“But attached to them, of course. Right?” He acted nonchalant, but it wasn’t the first time he’d asked me some softball serial killer questions.

FKNG HILARIOUS!! I'm cackling!

Mint Baxter: Did I do something wrong?

AWWWWW - this is bad. I don't like it.

Glass reflected high overhead, the panes joining in a peaked roof two stories above us. Clear walls rose to create a cathedral of sunlight and blue sky above. Four long rows of tables sat on a floor covered in small river rocks.

Called it!

And when she hadn’t returned my “I love you,” it stung.

Called this too...

Hell, women hit on me all the time. But they weren’t Camille, so I didn’t bother with them except for the few times I’d accepted a blow job. Those didn’t count. Not really.

BRUH!

“Right.” I switched hands. “Look, she’s my girl, okay? Whatever little crush you may have on her, forget about it. Your horny teenage dick will never get anywhere near her. You got it?”

ugh... this poor kid....

“Kid, you’re pissing me off. Get to the fucking point. And for the record, I’m a great guy.”

this guy is a total douche.

“Turn this helicopter around right this goddamn minute!”

lmfao

“Son.” My father’s gentle tone—the one he used when he was trying his best to reach the me that he hoped existed inside the psychopath (spoiler alert: there was only the psychopath)—assailed me.

i can not with this crazy ass dude

I tapped my chest over my heart. “I’ve never had that, never experienced anything like it. I can’t let that go. Don’t you see?”

awwwwwww!!!!
