He downed another glass. “Everyone has their demons that need to be fed every now and then.”
Suddenly he grabbed the back on my neck and pulled me closer. I stared up ready to question him about what he was doing when his lips pressed against mine and we merged into a deep kiss.
His lips against mine were soft and gentle, yet not unyielding in passion. Without realizing it, I parted my mouth. He read my intent and gently slipped his tongue between my lips.

"The demon is back..."
I stand by my locker. "Puberty must've hit him like a fucking truck. When did he become so freaking hot?"
His strong and big hands tightly gripped around my wrists as he forcefully held them pressed against the door and at the level of my shoulders, feeling my bones hurt so fucking much that I thought they were going to snap after just a little more pressure added.

"Legend has it there is always a reason why souls meet. Maybe they found each other for reasons that weren't so different after all. They were two souls searching and found a home lost in each other.

"Mother,"
I opened my eyes. Everything around me is a haze. I gazed at the candlelight. It was wobbling from side to side. I noticed a woman seated near me, but everything was fuzzy.
I heard a voice unexpectedly. It was a woman's voice, echoing in my ear.

"Mother," I said with a tremble in my voice. I have no idea what's wrong with me.
I reached out cautiously to touch her, but she was out of my r...

“The less you defy me, the less you fuck up, and the lesser chances you give me to ruin you,”
He breathed down against my skin, pressing his lips against my throbbing pulse and feeding on my fear.
His eyes scanned me from head to toe, and with his free hand, he tore the dress from me in one swift motion.
I screamed. It was the only thing I could do as the once pretty yellow material floated down to the grou...
