In The Dark

by Chelsea Curto

How did agreeing to watch your show turn into sacrificing myself to men in masks? That wasn’t part of the plan.” “Plans change, and men in masks are fun.”

“C’mon, J. What’s the phrase? God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers? I’m fucking Hercules.”

“I’m puny but mighty.” “Does that apply to your dick too?” “Fuck you.”

“I’m not hiding in the shadows. I’m using my resources. Taking her on a long, romantic walk, except she doesn’t know I’m there.” “That is literally stalking.” “Potato, poh-tah-toe.

“If I’m not the best man at the wedding, I will riot.” “I was thinking more like fucking her in my bed, but if you want to watch, I’ll leave the door open.”

I’m going to track you down, Maxine. And when I do, I’m going to make you mine.

Seeing if I can track down Hunter a second time feels like a prize from a game I don’t know I’m playing, but one I want win.

“You think I’m pretty?”

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

“You think I need a bed to make you come, Maxine?”

“Three fingers in your cunt and a few minutes are all it would take for you to scream my name. And since I’m a gentleman, I’d leave your underwear on. There wouldn’t be a hair out of place. You’d walk out of here without anyone knowing you just had the best orgasm of your life, because you’re a good girl, aren’t you?” He rocks his hips forward, and I feel the brush of his hard cock against the inside of my thigh. “But maybe tonight you’d like to be my little slut.”

“Shh, baby. You can’t let anyone hear you. I don’t want to get in trouble. Can you be good for me?”

“When I play with things I like, I make sure to have my way with them.” “Does that mean you like me?” “Oh, Maxine.” He tucks a piece of hair behind my ear, mouth right at the pulse point on my neck. “That’s one way to put it.”

“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’ve always liked being on my knees, but I just found my favorite alter. My new house of worship, and she’s never going to be able to get rid of me.

“You should know something about me, angel. If you want it? Ask. I’ll give it to you. Do you want me to kiss you, Maxine?” “I think I’d like that,” she whispers, and I smile. “Please.” “With pleasure,” I purr, crashing my mouth against hers.

I’ve always been a determined motherfucker. Someone who goes after what he wants, and right now, the only thing I need is Maxine Walters. I need her like I need air, and I’m not going to stop until she’s mine.

for once I’d like it to be October and not feel like we’re still living on the surface of the sun.

“I think that’s the nice thing about life. We’re all doing things at our own pace, and one path isn’t better than the other.”

“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.”

“Christ.” Leo groans. “Why can’t men just fucking behave?”
