He gripped me by the chin. “Isn’t it your turn to be so very careful, what you wish for…”
Heart pounding in my chest, I leaned into his touch. His eyes blazed down at me, breath catching, he cursed. “Something’s broken in me.”
“Because you’re a killer?”
“Because I want to punish you for making me want.”
“You won’t get it.”
“Say it again.” He hissed. “One more time.”
I gulped. “You won’t get it; you won’t get me.”
He gripped me lightly by the hair and turned my head to the side. “One day, you’ll think differently.” His nose ran down my neck while his wet mouth ran down my skin. I felt his heated exhale like a drug pumping through my veins.
I gripped the bottom of his briefs.
He bit out a curse.
We broke apart when the sound of footsteps filled the room. I slowly got up and walked over to the adjoining bathroom and shut the door, then slid to the bottom of the floor while whispers were heard from the bedroom.
Hands shaking, I stared down at my palms.
What was happening?
Why was I even entertaining him?
He was more monster than man.
I needed a reminder of what he did, of who he was.
I didn’t need long.
A minute later, he slammed something against the door and yelled. “Get ready, we have a family lunch to attend.”
Lunch?
They were worse than the dinners.
Everyone was drunk by one in the afternoon by way of bellinis or mimosas.
I groaned into my hands.
“Look good and pure for your perfect little family, Bella, your life and mine might depend on it, oh and if I disappear for a half hour, I’m not dead, but I might wish I were.”
That was all he said.
And I was thrust back into reality.
Out of the darkness we shared and into the stark light of truth, my truth, my journey, my purpose.
Smile at brunch.
Tell everyone it was everything I wanted.
Keep the peace.
Mourn my brother-in-law.
