Page 77 of Vulnerate

I forgot about her. I look up and her wide eyes flick from my hand to my face. She hesitates. My perfect Dani hesitates and doesn’t stop me. Pressing harder into the useless cunts neck without looking away from my girl, it forces her mouth to open.

“Val, don’t. She’s not worth it.”

I repeat the promise I made to my son and force my hand to relax. She’s not mine to kill, if he wants her death when he’s older the bitch needs to fucking be there.

It only relaxes enough to drop my knife and I hold her hair tighter. Kicking into the back of her knee she falls to the floor with a crack, and I drag her forward. My eyes don’t move away from Dani’s warm ones, she’s not scared of me. My perfect artist is intrigued as I make her cunt sister bow at her feet.

“Beg.” The deadly order has Carly looking up at me and I add, “Dani is the only one who will save you, so fucking beg her.”

She’s too sweet and good. The kneeling fuck begs, and it only has tears forming in my girl’s eyes as she takes a step back, swiping at her cheeks to get them away. Fuck that. She is mine and no one gets to do shit to her. Carly’s body jolts under my hold as I shake her and change the instruction.

“Now kiss her shoes and tell her how fucking pathetic you are.”

She crawls forward as Dani freezes in place with her eyes fixed on me. The only thing that could make her more perfect is if she cocks her leg back and kicks her sister in the face. But she doesn’t, she remains a statue as my words are repeated around her sobs.

“I’m pathetic. You’re better than me.”

I let her go and my tone is still rough. “Get the fuck out.”

She scurries away with her useless life and fucks off. I wait until the door bangs closed to take my girl in my arms.Kissing the top of Dani’s head, she clings to me and lets her tears free. She’s too beautiful of aperson to ever cry, not just physically. Her heart is the most precious thing about her. Her voice is a mumble into my chest, and it takes two tries for me to understand what she’s saying.

“I’m sorry.”

Picking her up so she’s where she belongs, above me, I support her with my arm under her ass and gently wipe her tears away.

Her apology would only make sense if she invited the bitch here. From the end of their conversation, I know she didn’t, but I need verbal confirmation.

“Why was she here?”

The bitter teary laugh leaving her is horrible, painful to my ears, and her bottom lip wobbles as she smiles sadly. “For money and to tell me how worthless I am.”

I look at the door like I’ll see the cunt waiting and she wriggles in my arms trying to escape.Sitting her on the table, I step between her thighs. There’s no escape, we’re inevitable. She admitted that she’s mine and if that truth only comes out when I’m buried inside her, my dick will never touch air again. I rest our foreheads together filling her vision with me and only me as I cup her face with both hands.

“You are not pathetic.”

Her cheeks lift a fraction not taking in my conviction.

Her tears burn my skin and I tighten my hold to stop what’s going to come out of her sweet lips. But she steels her spine taking a deep breath and holds my wrists.

“She’s right, and we’re lying to ourselves.”

My laugh is bitter and resentful, wrapping around what she’s refusing to see as I say, “She’s a twisted little crackhead, is she fuck right about anything.”

Carly couldn’t be trusted to lick an envelope but my girl’s acting crazy, thinking anything she says holds merit.

I have to force myself to relax and step back dragging her with me. I dropped her food and she’ll be hungry, but she stops us leaving. She pushes my hands off her face and hardens.

“You’re not listening to me.”

I hold her hips for no other reason than I can. She’s mine and I don’t need to suppress the urge to hold her anymore.Her forefinger moves between us like a pendulum as she guts me.

“This, won’t work. I want things you can’t give me.”

I have money, power, and the ability to make her come so hard my neck is still stinging, so there’s nothing more she needs.

“I’ll give you everything you want.”

It’s an easy promise, giving Dani everything is all I have ever wanted to do. She could ask for my beating heart, and I’ll crack open my ribs to fulfil her demand.
