Corrupted Chaos

Those eyes of his could have been the same color as honey if he was sweet. Instead, they burned dark into me just like whiskey would have burned going down my throat.

When he finally lifted his head, those eyes of his weren’t burning whiskey this time. They were warm like a light coffee that could wake you up and make you want to plow through the day together.

“I’m capable of taking care of myself, Cade,” I informed him. “And I’m capable of breaking every bone in a man’s body, but I’d like to refrain from doing that. So don’t do it. No one is allowed to hold your life in their hands except me. You understand?”

looking at me with those big hazel eyes that held flecks of gold, like she’d captured the sun and dimmed its shine just enough for us to be able to study them. “I can’t look away from you, haven’t been able to since the moment I met you.” “Ha-ha.” She took my confession as a joke, but I wasn’t kidding.

“You can hide it and avoid it, but there’s no real use fighting it.” “I’m not avoiding anything. I just like it over here on my side.” She said it loud, as if to make us both believe it. I put my hands on the counter, facing her, and leaned in. “Yeah, well, I’m here waiting on the other side when you want to put your pussy where it belongs—on me.”

“What are you really scared of, Izzy?” Did he not realize I could fall for him so fast and so hard that I’d never make it back to the surface?

He knew he wouldn’t live, that he probably wouldn’t be spared. “She’s just a woman.” “Don’t women rule us? She owns my soul. I can control every computer you log into, the technology that protects your country, and I can control if you live or die. But she controls me. She says kill you, and I ask how she’d like it done. Do you understand? Take a look around you.”
