It feels intimate since she’s on my lap, but she ruins it by being mad as hell and looking like a drowned rat.

I’m too wobbly, so he wraps an arm around my shoulders and tips it back, making me drink more than I want to.

“You should be scared. Next time you think about opening your legs for someone else, remember that you married a madman, and cheating on him is ill-advised.”

It shouldn’t turn me on to think of making Aubrey helpless and using her against her will when I actually like her, but apparently, that’s where we are.

I suppose raping her right now might get in the way of ever getting to enjoy that little scenario. How unfortunate.

“I was just about to go to bed.” He smirks. “I like that plan.” “Alone,” I specify. “I like that much less.”

“You’re mine now,” he says, tone thick and deep and gravelly enough to make my heart skip a beat. “No one’s going to take you from me.”

“No.” His grip on my jaw tightens almost painfully. “I will kiss you wherever and whenever the fuck I want to,” he says carefully. “And I don’t care if Hannah or Anae or anyone else fucking likes it. You’re mine, and I will do whatever the fuck I want to do with you. Do you understand?”

“But you’re not powerless, are you? I told you Hannah would only be in danger if you left me, and you weren’t thinking about doing that, were you?”

“And you’re stuck with me,” he states. “I can see myself being with you forever, Aubrey. I’m not bullshitting you. I can see us having kids and a family, birthday parties and fucking… trips to the popcorn store. I’m not one foot in this thing. I want it all, and I want it with you.”

“Ooh, I like that,” she says, her eyes lit with excitement. “Will you fuck me after?” Dare smirks. “On the same bed, next to her body.”

“I fucking love you, Aubrey. Don’t you get that by now? I would kill for you, but I would never hurt a hair on your goddamn head. I have ruined fucking lives to hold onto you, and I’d ruin more. The last thing I want is to lose you.”

It’s a little sick to feel so reassured by that, but maybe that’s what loving him has made me: a little sick.

To be loved so hard, so aggressively… it’s frightening, but intoxicating, too.

“It isn’t a good idea to invite temptation into our relationship. I will never do it, and I expect you not to as well. I know you were only joking about being sick of me and joking is fine, but should you ever actually get sick of me, I would advise you to reflect on what made you love me in the first place and fucking bathe in it, because I will never, ever let you go.”
