“Cut the crap, Monica. For once, cut the bullshit act and show me the real you.”

She scrambles off the bed and tries to grab my arm. Jerking away, I tug my shirt on.

“Luke, please. I don’t know what’s going on here. Talk to me, please.”

I round on her in a fury, slowly advancing. She backs away till her back hits the wall, just like on Saturday. Caging her in with my hands planted next to her head, I lean forward till I’m close enough for her to feel my breath on her lips. “Don’t pretend you don’t know what’s going on here. You went to my fucking house. You talked to my wife.”

“I had to.” She cries out. “Erin wasn’t home, and I had a flat tire.”

“Bullshit,” I spit. “I know exactly why you did. You think you have some kind of claim on me. You think because I’ve been fucking you, that gives you some kind of right. Wake the fuck up. You are nothing to me. Never have been, never will be.” I keep my voice soft, my eyes focused on her. I want to see every reaction I can to appease this beast in me, every flinch, every tremble, and if I’m really lucky, every tear.”

“Baby, please don’t say that.” Finally, there’s a break in her voice, her lips trembling, and a surge of satisfaction shoots through me. “Things are so good between us. You need me.”

“I’m not your baby, and I’m not your lover. A man doesn’t love or need the slut he fucks, and you are a slut, aren’t you? You’re not the kind of woman a man takes on a date, buys presents for, or takes to meet his family. No, you’re the kind of woman that gets fucked in the ass and used until a man’s done with her.”

“Fuck you,” she spits. Her cheeks are blazing with humiliation, and I take a deep breath to savor it. I reach out, wanting to brand her humiliation into my skin, but she jerks her head to the side. “You’re the one that’s married and you call me a slut? I never forced you into my bed. You came running.” Her finger pokes me in my chest. “You did that all by yourself.” In a way she’s right, but not the way she thinks she is. I can’t even properly explain it myself, so I don’t refute her accusation.

“You saw me at that party and saw something you wanted. You saw money and prestige, and despite that I wasn’t yours for the taking, despite not even knowing me, you decided to try and take me anyway. When I look at you, I see absolutely nothing I want.”

“If that was true, you wouldn’t be here,” she sneers, so certain of the power she has over me. She’s so fucking wrong. She has absolutely no power here. It all belongs to me.

“For some men, that might be true,” I hum. “Not me. The reason I’m here has nothing to do with you, your body, or this magic pussy you think you have. Newsflash sweetheart. Nothing about that is special. I’m here because I saw you were desperate, and desperation makes us all do all kinds of things, doesn’t it? I wanted to see if you’d crawl on your hands and knees for me like the good little dog you are, and you sure as fuck didn’t disappoint. A snap of my fingers and there you were begging at my feet where you belong. How long would you be happy with me not getting you off and having to do it yourself? Till the day I put a ring on your finger, I bet. Tell me, sweetheart,” I sneer. “How did it taste when I stuck my cock up your ass and then in your mouth? How hard did you have to try to keep the gagging down? Did you run to brush your teeth the moment I wasn’t looking to get the taste of your own shit out of your mouth? When you lie in bed at night, do you tally the cost of your actions to the outcome you’re aiming for? Do you think the loss of your dignity and pride is worth the possibility of living a life of luxury?” Tears are streaming down her face, and I revel in it, the darkness finally drinking its fill and coiling in sleepy contentment in the box I try to keep it in. This here is the moment I’ve been working patiently towards, and fuck, it’s so, so sweet.

“You’re a bastard.” Her hoarse whisper tugs my lips up in a smile.

“I know,” I whisper back. “Remember this the next time you think about trying to take something that doesn’t belong to you.”

I finally back away from her, eyeing her naked body up and down, hoping my face communicates all the disgust I feel for her. “If I ever see you anywhere near Alexis again, I’ll make it my mission to destroy you. I’ll unleash everything I have on you, and trust me when I say that what you’ve seen today is just the surface.”

Getting in my car, I head back to the office. It feels as if a weight has finally been lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in months, I feel as if I can breathe. I don’t know how long it will last, but I’ll enjoy every single moment of it while I can.
