Chapter 26
Chapter Twenty-Six
I’m angry, Beauty. So incredibly angry with you…
I know you are married, and it won’t be easy to separate from your husband for good so we can be together. I want to give you the time you need. I knew you would still let him fuck you. But like this?
I watched you last time when I found you drunk, half-naked, and horny in your pavilion and had to take advantage of the moment. He used you for his own pleasure and completely forgot about you. But just now? You rode him like you were only supposed to ride me. You gave yourself to him completely and then let him feel your claws. Little lioness, they are only meant for me. Only my back should be adorned with your marks, and only I should be able to feel them deep in my skin. You make me angry, Beauty.
But I mustn’t get angry because if I do, someone will die. You’re supposed to be my calming influence. Ground me. Bring me down and overwrite my terrible memories with wonderful shared experiences.
But what happened… Beauty, you have no idea what you’re doing to me here… You’re conjuring up dark creatures that lie dormant inside me, and they want you just as much as I want you. But they must never have you because everything I’ve ever loved has been taken from me by my dark inner self. That can’t happen to you! It won’t happen to you! I will look after you better than anyone else because you are special. You are mine…
