That’s what cancer does. It ravages you from the inside out without caring who you are. It doesn’t matter whether you keep the world in the palm of your hand or if you have more money than God. It just feeds on death. And death always wins, one way or another.
It’s rude for him to have a voice like that and a face like he does when his soul is so rotten.
It’s amazing what we’re capable of overlooking— what we’re willing to do— when it comes to those we love.
She’ll be its ruin. She’ll be my ruin. Unless I become the man she marries.
Only now, she’s burned into my brain. And I’m not sure how to get her out.
“If I wished for it,” I murmur, leaning in until our noses touch, “I could make you need nothing but me.”
“This woman,” I cut her off, “is allowed to interrupt me any time of the day. For any reason. Understood?”
“And you’re pretty when you come,”
“I don’t have any wounds to lick,”
“I could give you some if you’d like.”
stand still behind my desk, my thumb grazing my lower lip, wondering what it will feel like when I force her to be my wife.
“Sometimes the greatest love comes from the most unlikely of places.”
“I promise, Ali. I’ll make sure she knows exactly what kind of man he is.”
you look fucking sinful in that outfit. I’m not allowing anyone to think you’re here by yourself.”
She’ll choose me, or she’ll learn what happens to the people who don’t.
“If I tell you to sit, you’ll sit. If I tell you to jump, you’ll ask how high. If I want you to spin around in circles, then drop to your knees and suck my cock until I paint your pouty lips with my cum, you’ll do it with a smile on your vapid face.”
six six is resting his full body weight against me.
“You can make me wear your ring,” I hiss, “and parade me around with your last name, but I will never bow for you.”
I guess it makes sense that the devil would appear as perfection to lure away souls.
There’s only one thing I want from you, and that’s you to be my wife in public. I don’t care if in private, you become his whore.”
now she’s my wife. Which means she’s my partner.”
“Your daughter is everything. Surely you remember being in love.”
But it throws my entire world off its axis anyway.
Mentally, I go over every single reason why I should let go and walk away. She’s too young. I’m planning to kill her. She’s not really mine. I don’t even want her to be.
“You’re playing a dangerous game letting me touch you like this.”
“Maybe I like a bit of danger.”
“I can’t work. I can’t eat. I can’t think of anything except spreading you wide open and slipping between your perfect thighs so I can fill you up.”
“If you embarrass me by seeing another man in public, I’ll take you over my knee and remind you of your place.”
“Because, gattina, I’m going to teach you how to drive.”
“If you think I’ve been trying with you, then you clearly don’t know what a man looks like when he tries. I’ll be sure to rectify that situation.”
my wellness did need to be checked.” I chuckle, shaking my head. “My mental health has been incredibly unstable since we met.”
“Your second mistake,” I whisper, “was disrespecting my wife.”
She’s a means to an end, a loose thread that I’m going to unravel until there’s nothing left and then toss in the fire to burn. And that means I shouldn’t care if someone disrespects her or get angry at the audacity of the pathetic boy who keeps making her look so sad. I shouldn’t care at all.
“It’s far past time somebody taught you how to shut that mouth of yours,”
“I’d rather fuck you, wife,” I murmur. “But little brats who need to learn their lessons don’t get things unless they play nice. Now.” My fingers dance over the reddened area of her ass. “Be a good girl, and do what I say.”
“There were tears in her eyes though, and she promised it would only hurt for a little. But that’s the thing about abuse, I guess. The pain always lasts even after the bruises fade.”
“If I’m the devil, amore mio, cast stones at the one who made me.”
“Sei bellissima quando implori.”
“You feel like fucking heaven, and I’ve barely touched you.”
“Such a good little wife when you’re dripping on my hand and begging for me to fuck you.”
“I’m going to fuck you with my tongue until you soak my face.”
