Hit

by Mallory Hart

she dragged the steel across her wrists. She collapsed against the soaked stone wall, blood pouring from the wounds in rain-doused streams.

Omg she fully did it

Giuseppina Delarosa just killed herself ten feet away from me. A shuddered laugh escaped me. Talk about fecking irony there. Many jobs accidentally went wrong. None had ever gone accidentally right.

I gripped the handle of the pan in both hands. “Clear.” His eyes widened a split second before the iron collided with his head.

LMAO

She was gorgeous. Anyone with a set of eyes could see that. I didn’t look at her again.

“Oh no,” she said. A tiny frown formed on her lips. I gripped her arms, trying to pull her back through the single file line. “What?” “I didn’t get a window seat.”

Shes so cute

To my disappointment, Pina clapped when the plane landed. Louder than anyone else.

LMAO

I couldn’t give a feck about the shows or the casinos, but it made Pina happy, so it was nice. To make her happy.

Gah

I had a feeling Darragh was the same. So, I played the part well.

This girl

I took two shots at him and he didn’t fire back.

TRUEEE

Then he asked the strangest question anyone could. “Do you wish it was you?”

Oof

Before my feet even hit the carpet, his voice rang out. “Pina, get back in the fecking bed.”

Mmmmm

“She’s a lot like you. She never shuts up,” I told the photograph. Grace O’Callaghan’s face just smiled back. “Maybe that’s why I’ve kept her around so long,” I whispered. “I think you would have liked her.”

Gahh

laid my hands on the counter, palms up. The white line of a thin scar ran across all ten fingers. “My brother dared me to touch some electric wire when I was eight. The voltage was too high and gave me a burn. It never healed right.”

This is such a good add

“One—” “Stop. Stop.” I wrenched my hand free.

lmao same girl

The light gleamed too bright, the air burned through my chest, and then Darragh was kissing me.

IM OBSESSED

He stroked his tongue across my lips and dug his fingers into my hair. I moaned, falling deeper, until the snip of scissors cut through the air. The spell broke. Darragh held a thin lock of my hair in his palm. I slapped him across his stupid Irish face.

AHAH I LOVE THEM

“If it was a woman that looked like you, I wouldn’t mind at all. As for men, the military makes you forget about being shy real fast.”

gahhh

They drifted over my face, my lips, and back down to the hand still covering my breasts. The hand previously in my hair came forward and laced through my fingers, slowly pulling my arm away. Despite the heat, a shiver wracked through me. His palm came over my right breast. His hand was so large, it covered it entirely. His thumb tucked under and ran a slow circle around my nipple. My toes curled against the tiled floors.

IM GONNA SCREAM

“I was waiting for you to come upstairs and kill me. Kind of a turn on.”

Literally made for each other

I hesitated. He didn’t.

“I’m going to haunt you,” I mumbled. He snorted and pulled my jacket off. I winced and doubled over when he tried to lift my shirt. “I hit the vest, love.”

Can’t contain myself

I opened my mouth but he beat me to it. He shifted closer, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. Gentle, like he was barely even there. Testing the waters. I rested my cheek on his shoulder and the arm grew tighter. There. That was better.

I cant contain my feelings

I was really damn proud of Pina.

AWAGH

“I hear you got a pretty new wife.” I froze. The whole room froze. The people, the air, the sounds, the blood in my veins. I clenched my hands over the top of my chair. “Where’d ya hear that, lad?” He snorted. “All your boys talk about her. She must be a tight little thing, with the way your own men talk about sticking it up her—” I shot him in the face.

EXACTLY

Because I cared about her. I cared about my fiery, temperamental, talkative, stubborn, overly emotional and absolutely impossible wife.

He was a walking contradiction I couldn’t understand, especially when he whispered back, “Your husband.”

“You will never do that to me again.” The words came low like a warning, heated like an alarm. I sucked in a deep breath. “Walk on thin ice?” He shook his head. “Never scare me like that again.” It was too late for me to stop. I read into it.

>>>>>

“Promise me,” he said, but it was too late. Darkness caught the edge of my vision and I fell into oblivion.

Fucking hell…

I frowned, mumbling around my cigarette, “My wife.”

“Quit torturing my wife.”

“And for the second part, promise me this is a real marriage, that you’re really my wife. That you’ll never leave, and I get to do this to you every day for the rest of my life.”

He kissed everything, my lips, my hair, my cheeks

He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. “I don’t want another man’s name on your lips when I’m fucking you.”

Phew

“Our family is dead because of you. All because you couldn’t suck it up and do as you were told. We’ve all lived and died by honoring this family. You’ve done nothing but destroy us.”

Men are so fucking…like the audacity she can take the bullet but world ends when you have to…

had slow, quiet sex with her,

Oh…interesting

I was going to lose her. The only woman I’ve ever wanted to be with.

I cant handle this

I regretted the day I saved her in that alley. I regretted taking her home. I should have known better. I shouldn’t have let myself fall in love.

AHhgh

I smirked. “Save it for tomorrow. We’ll have all the time in the world then.” He turned his face away, burying his lips into my diamond studded hair. “I’ll hold you to it.”

Ughhhh

He took my left hand in his and began the waltz around the room.

Left hand…this mfer know

His thumb ran over the diamond. “I’m sure you would have, Giuseppina.” He slipped it off my finger and disappeared into the crowd.

How tf you just let him take the ring

“I’ll find him,” he breathed. He clenched my arm. “Wait for me outside, we have to get the fuck out of here.”

I dont trust him either im sorry i tried

was deeply and madly in love with. And I never even got to tell him

They still wore there mocking smiles when I raised my gun and put a bullet between Sean O’Callaghan’s eyes.

FUCK YES A GREAT CHOICE

Pina O’Callaghan. My wife.

knew I was right. All my doubts erased when this special played. When I sat on this couch and listened to my wife speak. When she said the words I was looking for.

She smiled. “Good morning, Cindy. I’m doing just fine.”

FUCK IT JUST ENDS OMG
