The world doesn’t end. The waves are receding. There are still people not too far away from us having fun. This isn’t a hallucination. Odis is standing a foot away from me, staring down at me like he’s getting bored with the fact that I’m still very much still on the blanket. Donny’s knuckles crack and my eyes dart to him before returning to Odis. I hate the way my gaze darts behind him. No Shane. Odis notices but remains silent. My neck is already sore from looking up at him so I get to my feet and fold my arms in front of my chest.
“You must be mistaken.”
“I am not,” Odis said.
“You’re interrupting,” Donny growls.
“We need to leave,” Odis says as he pulls on his ear.
“There is no we. You shouldn’t be here,” I huffed.
“Do you not remember what happened the last time you were with him?” Odis asked. My eyes widen as the memory of Donny’
I couldn’t choose between these songs, so I’ll leave it up to you!Romanza ~ Andres MadriagaSay It Ain’t So ~ WeezerMy Heart Hurts ~ Atlus, LexnorDonny didn’t understand the implications of Shane’s words. How could he? I’d never met a man like him. There was no one else like him. Donny also didn’t understand his death was inevitable if he continued to see me, but I did. This was all my fault. Donny was dead because of me. This wouldn’t have happened if I’d just been firm and told him no, but even then, I knew that was an excuse. It was normal to have friends, and even if I belonged to Shane, I could still have a life outside of him. There was no need to kill him. Donny didn’t deserve to die. He did thi
Shane’s heated breath fanned my cheek. My soft curves melded against his chiseled one and I forgot how to breathe. My mourning heart skipped a beat—his words shoved life into my dying soul. I’ve spent the last 24 hours yearning for him and wishing for nothing more than his love and affection. Even with everything that has happened in the last day, hope blossomed in my chest. I should have known better, but I was a glutton for punishment. Shane had a tendency to throw me a bone, only to yank it away before I could sink my teeth into it. I was stupid, but as I fought the tears from escaping, I knew it was hopeless. I was hopeless.Hopelessly devoted to a man who plays me like a fucking fiddle.Even as my heart begged I bow down to him. The glare in his gaze and the possessiveness in his words, the wounds he’d inflicted ran deep. Too fucking deep. He’d just killed one of my good friends and was unapo
Shane laughed. Yep, actually laughed. He sounded absolutely unhinged.“I don’t know who you think you are, but a coward who won’t even show his real face has no business being here,” Shane growled.What’s that supposed to mean?Before I could ask, Chance lunged, and I cried out. His fist came crashing down on Shane’s jaw, but he didn’t stumble backward. And he didn’t dodge. Why didn’t he? He just returned his punch with a blow of his own. He swung his arm, his fist slammed into Chance’s chest. Hurt, he stumbled back, but recovered quickly. Chance dropped low and darted forward, his claws extended as he swiped. Shane took it yet again without trying to get out of the way. His arm lashed out and gripped Chance’s throat. His eyes widened.No.My chin quivered as flashback of Donny dyin
Adoring obsidian eyes betrayed the smirk at one corner of his lips. The words lacked their usual sting. Shane was a man of many mysteries, and while I have wanted to solve every single once since the moment he walked into my VIP room, that’s not what I wanted to do right now. He was selfish, arrogant, and did whatever he wanted, but most of all, he was infuriating. Even after all he’s done, my heart still skipped a beat as his eyes dipped to my lips. I wanted to scream, but I settled on yanking my chin free from his grasp.“I’m crying because you murdered my friend and all you can say is I’m ugly when I cry?” I shrieked.He laughed.“Why are you laughing? You’re such an ass!” I wailed. More tears streaked down my cheeks, and I swiped them away angrily.“Shh, that’s not what I meant.”“Then what did you mean, Shane? You know, other than the literal meaning?”“It’s an old joke you wouldn’t understand,” he murmured.“You don’t make any sense,” I cried.“I know,” he murmured softly.Lifti
Shane’s ability to tear me down while still making me feel seen was too much. My chin trembled as he gave me the confirmation I craved. His hands slid up my thighs, and I spread them, giving him easy access. His fingers dipped beneath my skirt and he growled as they found a thin triangle covering my pussy. His claws shredded through the fabric and lightly grazed my skin. I didn’t need to look at him to know he was angry, but the part of me that was angry needed it as much as his affection. Peering back at him, I lifted my chin and stared into the eye of the storm. Lust and possessiveness glared back at me.“You wore this on a date with your friend,” he spat the last word. My vision blurred.“You killed him. There’s no need to worry about him anymore.” My voice cracked as the words filled the space between us.Unaffected by my tears, Shane leaned down. His other hand wrapped around my throat as if he had done it a million times. I could feel his warm breath on my face, a strong wall of
Cash Shit ~ Megan Thee Stallion (feat. Dababy)[I’m a hoe… and these dirty songs stroke my slutty soul DaBaby's rap is *chefs kiss*][If you don’t like rap, I have an alternate song!]Pretty Little Addict ~ Haiden HendersonMy heart and pussy fluttered simultaneously. I hadn’t accomplished my goal. I’d wanted to use him to help me forget everything he’d done. As my body hummed with satisfaction, I wanted to laugh. Of course Shane had thrown it in my face and made me admit twisted desires I hadn’t even thought of and then made me cum.He only confirmed what I already knew. I couldn’t trust him. Not with my heart, and definitely not with those I loved—at least… who was left of them. Gabe. Now that my body and soul wanted him, I feared for my best friend. Since I’ve signed a deal with the devil, I had no other choice but to follow my every desire. I’d do everything he wanted, all but one.Gabe would not be negotiable.As if hearing the direction of my thoughts, his fingers delved into my
Shane cut across the driveway, and when the doors closed, there was nothing but him. His scent, his breathing, and his chest against my cheek. I came harder than I had any right to and yet I felt like I was where I belonged. I valued these moments where he treated me like I was his, like I was precious and fragile. Even if it was all a lie. I knew I meant something to him. His hot and cold actions had my head spinning, but it did nothing to deter my stubborn heart. I couldn’t help but hope something would come from today. Whatever this was. Squinting as a blinding light flashed, my eyes adjusted before widening. The first and second floor came into view as the elevator went up, up, up.Holy shit.Shane’s grip on me tightened, and my eyes fluttered closed as I leaned into him. The elevator stopped with a ding. When the doors opened, curiosity had me peering forward again. I wasn’t sure what I thought
Pick your poison:Lose Control ~ Teddy SwimsNeon ~ LivingstonArchitect ~ LivingstonShaneThe walls are closing in, reality and dream collide as I glare at the closed door that served as a barrier between me and the witch who has enchanted my soul from the very fucking beginning. It’s impossible to keep my breathing quiet as I struggle for air. She’d hear my rasps, my gulps, if not for the running water. Gripping my chest, gravity yanks and I fall to my knees.I lose control.Max fights to come forward, and I have to shove him back. Digging my claws in, it’s only when the warmth of my blood coats my fingers, does my senses sharpen and my lungs expand. The air fills my chest and oxygen rushed to my brain. My shoulders shook following the sound of her splashing in the other room; completely oblivious to my despair as it bleeds from every pore in my body.My curse was loving someone who couldn’t be bothered to remember me.Adea was the shackle fastened around my ankle.A reminder I wou
