Snow descends gently, each flake melting as it touches my flushed skin. My shoes squelch through the slush on my driveway. I'm about to twist my key in the lock when the clamorous screech of metal halts me.
My skin prickles with goosebumps.
What the hell was that?
I take a look around the street. Iâm unable to get a full glimpse, the only source of light being the sole street lamp.
Not now. Not t...
I havenât moved.
Iâm frozen in his words, burnt by his presence.
I havenât moved from this spot for five minutes since he uttered those words.
Those treacherous sinful words.
Fuck send me to the depths, if it means I can give up and give in to him.
He shouldnât be this way. He shouldnât be able to crawl beneath my skin like this. I've always been level-headed in the most testing situations. This ...
âYou have stolen from me. You have deprived me of a happy existence. Do you understand what that felt like? To have your vulnerability ripped from you, your innocence stolen. What was it that went through your mind? Was it that, âSheâs young, naive, defenceless?â I bet thatâs what you thought.
ââPray for me to sink my teeth intoâ. What did I do wrong? Were my shorts too short? Were my pigtails to...
My body knows no bounds, no limits. I no longer feel exhaustion or fatigue; I sprint relentlessly through the tresses of trees.
Each crunch of my steps is now a drum in my ears.
I twist and turn as my legs carry me rapidly throughout the forest. They must know where I am. They are everywhere. Watching. Waiting.
I haven't just crossed a line tonight.
I have devoured it.
That poor girl. How cou...
The sound of ticking forces me to pause.
âWhat the fuck is that?â I whisper shout to the man beside me, whipping my head to every corner of Rossisâ office. Iâm usually calm in the worst of situations but nothing about that noise paired with the rossisâs reputation calms me.
âI thought my presence was useless?â He smirks, watching me dart around the room to locate the source of the noise, overtu...
âPerfect! Beautiful as ever Val!â I stated aloud, what? A girlâs gotta love herself.
I retrieved my thigh holster, ensuring all straps were tightly fastened as I slipped the knife into its allotted space. The cool metal chilled me, resulting in goosebumps, it had been a while. But time away would do nothing to deter me from completing my task tonight. After I gave my appearance a once over, I rehe...
He watches me with a vigour that pins me in place. The temperature increases, as his steely eyes meet mine.
âRiley breathe for me. It's okay. Let's at least discuss this first,â He releases my wrist with an achingly fast pace.
Can he not bear to touch me?
I go towards my previous seat but find that he moves toward the couch instead. I follow his direction, taking a place on the cobalt-tinted furn...
His words encircled my brain the entire night,
_Why is it not your choice? _
I_ _repeatedly questioned myself with his words.
I thought of nothing else but that session for days, dissecting every second of our hour together. Analysing every facial expression. Every glance.
I understood quickly why he was so popular.
** **Admittedly being isolated and stuck with Jason, had me obsessive.
My m...
Succinctly sweet
And so you go back on repeat
Why so tasty, you think
You crunch and it drips
Licking your lips
Just one more sip
It burns, it sears
Just one more, You decide to up the gears
Succumbing to temptation any time it is near
Succinctly sweet
Do not be mistaken, this is a deadly feat
One and then the other, I suggest you don't take another...
"Did you come?" Jason grunted.
yes to my senses. Ugh, I hate him.
If you have to ask it's a no. Dick. I don't know why he bothered asking, he didn't care either way. Just wanted a stroke of his ego. I rolled onto my side, mumbling a yes. Internally groaning at the bruises he'd gifted my ribcage last night. He was vile with a drink inside him.
I scrolled mindlessly on my phone, waiting for him to ...
