In The Dark

by Chelsea Curto

“I have a habit of getting attached to things. If you keep talking to me like that, I might fall in love with you.”

“My last name? My favorite food? My credit card number so you can buy yourself whatever you want? I can give you the world if you let me, Maxine.”

I was already addicted to her, and this just sealed the deal. I need to consume her. I need to have her in a million different ways. I need to make her mine with a ring and a house and five kids,

I just found my favorite alter. My new house of worship, and she’s never going to be able to get rid of me.

I want her to use me, to make me her toy in the name of learning.

“Might need to get some pearls or a diamond on the back of the other hand so I can dress you up when I’m gripping your throat. A pretty necklace for my needy slut.”

“I’m close to throwing a book at your head.” “Make it a hardcover. I deserve to be punished.”

When I’m attached to someone, I’m theirs. And it’s pretty fucking obvious I’m obsessed with you.”

I want to be ingrained in every part of her like she’s imprinted herself on me. Permanently, and someone I’m never going to forget. I’m indebted to her, her body my salvation,
