To the silent ones. There is someone out there that will believe and listen to you.
“Go ahead and tase me, I’d love to fuck you up for free.” I swear to god, my pussy just wept.
“Mom, please,” she says through a frustrated sigh. “What is he going to do, stab me?” I might, but not with a knife.
“Don’t hit anyone ever again, Cal, do you hear me?” My bottom lip trembles, and I suck it between my teeth. “I’m more than happy to be your violence.”
“You are the kind of heavy that isn’t worth carrying, Ronan.”
“I hate when you do that,” he says while revving the bike to life. “What?” I shout, the sound reverberating around in the helmet. “Just nodding in agreement. I like to hear you. Now, do you understand, Cal?” My cheeks burn. “I understand.” “Good girl.” Instant clit tingles.
The chokehold this woman has on me is tight enough to suffocate and kill me. It’s pathetic that I wouldn't even fight for my life—I’d simply let it happen. Not because I want to die, but because she’d be the one doing it.
Yet when I look at her, it’s all brand new. Her hair isn’t blonde, it’s the color of the sun that I had sometimes forgot about sitting in prison. Those eyes of hers aren’t just green, they are the grass I would roll around through in the youth I wish lasted longer than ten years. That fucking smile isn’t the innocence it portrays it to be. It’s filthy, and I want it to be mine.
“You’re telling me our first kiss was while I was asleep?” My head tilts as he threads his fingers under my loose ponytail, gripping my hair and angling me back further. “Bad girl.” Then his mouth is on mine, ravenous and hungry, devouring me like I’m the sustenance he lacked for years.
As long as it’s him that pulls me to Hell, I’ll gladly burn just to mix our ashes so there is no telling us apart.
“I still need to taste your tears, baby girl. I imagine they’re as delectable as your cunt.”
He’s got a Jacob’s ladder, five, at the underside of his shaft. Then, on his head, he’s got a magic cross right through it. I didn’t need to see him to know he is larger than life, but the slight curve upward of it makes sense. That’s why it was beating me so fucking good.
“I like you too, Ronan. A lot. And I think you were right when you said we’re toxic—but not for each other. I believe our poison can create something beautiful, yet lethal to anyone who isn’t us.”
“June twenty-first…” He drags his knuckles across my cheek. My gaze lifts to look up into his eyes that are full of love, patience and longing. “What’s that day?” A soft chuckle rolls from his throat. “It’s the day you touched me.” Heat immediately consumes my eyes, tears slowly gathering at my lids. “I think they call it a core memory. While I’ll never forget that day and its significance, I want others to see it… Ask ‘what does it mean?’ so that I can say to them, the woman I love painted a new beginning for me.” Warm tears draw down my cheek as I release a choked laugh. “And for you to tell

I AM BAWLING MY FUCKING EYES OUT
She’s happy, and I’m glad I could make her so. Thank you, Cal, for bearing my heavy and lifting it where I couldn’t.
