She might love him now… But she loved me first.
“If you can’t remember who you were, how do you know what kind of person you used to be or what might have shaped you to be that way?”
“I know it hurts, baby girl,” he whispers against my hair. “I’m so fucking sorry he’s gone.”
A soul as black as the night sky. Lips as red as the blood she’s out for.
other people’s expectations are their problem…not yours.” His eyes meet mine. “You don’t have to live up to what anyone else wants you to be, Bianca. Your life is your path.”
“Because I feel something when I’m with you. Something I can’t explain.” Something that makes no sense. All I know is the heavy feeling of dread in my chest goes away whenever he’s near. A shiver breaks free when he
“I frustrate you because you feel something for me,” I call out after him. “Something genuine and raw…and for some reason that scares the hell out of you.” But he doesn’t have to be scared…because unlike the rest of the women in his life, I’ll never hurt him. I care about him too much.
“I’ll bend you over this bench, tear your little panties off with my teeth…” The tip of his nose skims the column of my throat. “And fuck you so hard everyone on campus will hear you scream my name.”
