the DANGER you know Release

♦ ♦ ♦

You’ll judge me. Hate me and tell me I’m wrong. Refuse to see how my darkness is what she needs. While I don’t particularly care about your feelings in the matter, and while I pursue her despite the wedding bells that rang for another, only I can see how she is drowning beneath mediocrity. How many times must I remind her? It can’t matter that I am the person who ruined her life. The man who killed her father. The constant shadow that watches her sleep. The lover who prefers dirty alleyways to freshly laundered sheets She’s mine. Always has been. I'm the worst thing for her, yet I’m the only salvation she knows. He had his chance to make her happy. He failed. He didn't see how she was dying inside because he couldn't know her. Not like I know her. I am her stalker. Her protector. And the only man that can bring her back to life.

“You can’t hide from me.” Ari grips my chin and forces my face to his, our eyes locking in battle, a grin tilting those cruel fucking lips that lie and lie and lie. He’s not lying now. I slap at him, my palm slamming his cheek so hard it vibrates down my arm. Ari’s head snaps left, but then slowly turns back to me.  “What else you got?” Slapping him again, I claw at his skin, but he pushes into it, enjoys it, doesn’t care about the blood that trickles in tiny little rivulets.  He catches my wrist and pulls my hand from his face, glaring at me with explosive heat behind his eyes. “You used to fight when you were younger. I watched it. Wanted it. Enjoyed it. And you can fight me now all you fucking want just as long as you know I will have you in the end. I will keep you. I will own you because I’ve been the shadow protecting you all these years from all the other pricks who only wanted to destroy you.” Our eyes remain locked, mine narrowing as he searches my face for any reaction to what he’ll do. I refuse to give him one. Mouth against my cheek, he nips at my jaw. “That’s it, baby bird, show me how much you hate me.”
